Tim Key "banker"

Taken from Carlie Brooker's Newswipe on 29/3/09

I love the unfinished commentary he adds. "Just a despicable....". "Imagine this big fat....." 😂

[@IrishGary1]

No wonder Coogan took a shine to him...so understated. That poem was utter genius. God I miss charlie brookers screenwipe

[@lfcwilli]

Well said sir, 100% agree

[@johnm2558]

After "This horrible fucking banker figure" I was gone :)

[@turbowank16v]

I spat my drink out when he explained what HR was.

[@IrishGary1]

This might be the greatest poem iv ever heard...comedic genius

[@Retrostar619]

I saw him at the Lattitude poetry tent - he used audience responses as part of his rhythm and timing, and his dry poems absolutely kill live as well. Funny clever chap.

[@Smitamas101]

the way his face looks up and says "we're gonna have to let you go" and then smiles at 1:24 is superb, creasing up here

[@OFFtheCHIZANE]

Tim Key was always my personal highlight of Charlie Brooker

[@user-wr4uz8pg7m]

Doug Stanhope was pretty awesome too. And Barry S + Philomena C...

Agreed, Tim Key is immense

[@MassOnslaught]

tim key is brilliant the music has alot to do with the feel of the whole peice but all togeather is absalutly brillant. glad to see lots of ppl like 2 !

[@davidfgranger]

I still regularly say _horrible man_

[@humphreyaugustus2932]

This poetry is more profound than most people realise, the main subject is the root cause of the things which affect every aspect of your life within society...

[@leboeuf05]

just a despicable...cracks me up every time i watch it...which is a lot.

[@CrashExhibition]

Imagine this big fat...

[@lfcwilli]

That hygiene line

[@TheMattfish]

Brilliant! The way he says "horrible man' gets me everytime.

[@moodini99]

Thanks a lot. Great song.

[@Daiul]

One of his best!

[@DermotTrellis]

The Rocket Builder by Johann Johansson

[@eddiecope7635]

My fave poem of his. From the line of "is it cos the bottoms fallen out", it gets sinister for me. Funny as fuck tho

[@moodini99]

"He licked his lips, clonking fish eggs and feathers on to the floor" - hilarious!

[@omnisearch]

this is so funny! the great thing is nobody out there is doing anything like this. Tim is so original. " and he peered lustilly doen her top, same as like when he leered down the dancers in the strip joint" :P cant stop watching lol

[@peacec47]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 to funny

[@tcacVII]

I start laughing at about 0:05 and don't stop til a good ten minutes afterwards.

[@IOYC]

@moodini99 The album it's from (Fordlandia) is absolutely amazing.

[@itchardUK]

I expected more too....

[@johnm2558]

There’s gotta be a band called ‘Our Lumpen Banker’ out there somewhere..

[@oliverfrancis5596]

[@soupersonic]

Fish eggs and feathers!

[@ChrisKiller]

@bringmemybow TK's best suited for monologues, not panel shows.

[@evanquads]

5 people had caviar and swan round their chops

[@ChrisKiller]

@TheSimonHarris Yeah - I just watched that too!

[@IrishGary1]

...just a despicable 😀😀

[@russelld2]

so, so SO FUNNY

[@Flow-WithTheGo]

Yeah it is amazing

[@bringmemybow]

@killerisation how did it go?

[@KSIOjedibt]

brilliant comedy!!

[@t0yo]

Can anyone tell me the name of the song or if I can find it without the talking over it?

[@WillJamesMay]

saw this guy at latitude this year in the poetry tent, fucking genius!

[@moodini99]

Anyone know what song this is?

[@radiorobhoward]

I think you've missed the comic irony of the video, thats exactly his point hes playing up to the ludicrous demonisation of bankers, thats why hes a comedian and not a financial commentator

[@tomothyjohnston]

"is it linked in with me and me mates being irredeemably greedy twerps in the good times?"

[@gwrwho]

How the fuck can you dislike this video?! Some people...

[@kinghani]

I love Carlie Brooker.

[@randar3]

@moodini99 The Rocket Builder - Johann Johannsson

[@rprules]

Music?

[@hypnobloom9917]

This is an old post but it's The Rocket Builder by Johann Johannssen if you're still interested.

[@kingBenTheBadger]

i really wanna know tooooo

[@lankymanc92]

His fatness is a metaphor for his greed.

[@firehot006]

5 fat bankers have watched this video...

[@moodini99]

This guy is so underrated. Why the fuck is Catherine tate on prime-time TV?

[@charlievideo]

YES. I hate bankers.

[@ORCA4312]

SO, I gather that this banker would have been less evil if he had not been fat. So, being fat is evil? Interesting.

[@Disco_Biscuit_X]

Yes

[@stuartmitchell1908]

Fat Cat. Dry your tears.

[@MrSuaveDebonair]

This was made funnier by the Conservative political ad campaign before it.

Just a despicable...

[@tamnavac]

Is he a actor or not, maybe he is trying to be a actor.

[@vaj99]

Thats not even a poem!

[@Thecuregalore94]

I loved every minute of Screenwipe, but I found Tim Key painfully unfunny throughout.

[@wizardofoz1390]

Tim Key is categorically the worst actor , poet and comedian I have ever seen

[@Flow-WithTheGo]

Just a despicable...
