Charlie Brooker's Wipe Thing

That This Morning summary was great. And accurate.

The "moments of wonder" part is just pure cringe. The more I watch of Charlie Brooker the more I like him less. Shame really.

Moments of Wonder has been the highlight of each episode. Limmy's bits though have been shite

I agree. Limmy's whole thing seems to be similar to Philamina's basically 'Haha I'm stupid and working class' but without any of the comic timing or sentence structure.
Just that kind of faux awkward thing which is meant to be funny for some reason. I couldn't help but draw comparisons between Limmy and that anything4uluv guy. At least Tim key's stuff was creative even if it was just as unfunny.

I think moments of wonder would be better if the interviewees weren't clearly in on the joke.

Yep. It really was great :lol:

Enjoyed the 2013 Wipe, and the Weekly Wipes so far, but everything involving Doug Stanhope, Barry Shitpeas, Limmy and Philomena Cunk is rubbish. Less of that, more of the actual funny stuff please (i.e. Brooker himself).

"They're killing people to make a trendy point about politics to impress the guardian" :lol:

I like the [programme] in 90 seconds routine.

The bit where it cuts to him after showing the nappie eating lady and he says "that put me right off my piss"

:lol:

Tim Lovejoy is such a bellend.

The BNP cooking section was hilarious.

I wish he'd drop the Barry Shitpeas and Philomena Cunk characters, though. They were kind of funny back when he first used them as a send up of talking head/vox pop sections, but neither one of them is remotely funny in themselves at all, their entire sections just being a joke about them being stupid whilst taking about a subject or program they don't understand.

I think the Moments of Wonder section at least is supposed to be taking the piss out of the way those types of programs are presented.

Apart from Doug Stanhope, as I actually find him quite funny, I agree with all the that. Moment's of Wonder is just not funny.

I don't mind them, but they are there far too much now. Not enough Brooker, too much of the others.

Doug Stanhope's stuff is alright, it's just a shame so much of it is old stand up material, rather than new content. The timing of his Bieber rant couldn't have been better, either.

I thought Philomena Crunk was brilliant, myself. Her bit about Breaking Bad being 'really sad for a chemistry show' had me in tears.

I think Nick Griffin cooking should be made into a series. We all know that the Nazis had the best uniforms, maybe they made the best pies as well?

We know they're good with an oven.

oh dear

"Today on Cooking with Nick Griffin, I am going to show you how to cook the perfect English curry. The spices are imported but don't worry, I made sure the delivery man was deported right back to where he came from."

I almost choked on my cup of tea when Griffen as good as said "We got the recipes, so we can kick all these immigrants out now"

:lol:
