God he makes me laugh even though his photo byline has him looking worryingly frowny. Makes dh laugh so much as well, sure he wouldn't particularly mind me doing the dirty with him if I were to bring back some good one-liners.

Reading his book at the moment, loving every word. Also love Screen Wipe - but have to say I don't find him attractive at all...

PrismManchip · 29/12/2007 19:17

Oh god I totally fancy Charlie Brooker
I have only seen one show but still think about him too often, really
Also some blonde bloke pundit on those top-100 shows - I think he writes for Maxim or something

Snaf: I thought I was the only person in world who fancied Dylan Moran until went to see him do stand up last year (oops year before last now ) and was surrounded by wild-eyed strumpets all drooling in very unattractive way over my man.

Don't want to start a stampede down to the newsagents but there's quite a big profile of Charlie in Word this month although accompanying photograph a bit hard to get worked up about even for hardcore fan(tasist)s. Interviewer does concede that he is "decent-looking". Sigh.

Dh has just come into the room muttering: "Give women the internet and all they do is sit around deciding who is the most handsome boy in the class."

oh, lol.... lots of bad taste going on here. saw charlie brooker on a station platform once and got really excited. but not in a sexy way. writes like a goddamn genius and screenwipe is best thing on telly for a long while. but warm-shufty-feelings? no... thats wrong!

bettie - your list is particuaraly dark ... mitchell and webb bloke?? gervais?? simon pegg... maybe... but i'd kind of just want him to like me enough to be my friend. would want to be getting jiggy.

BUT saying that, i have started to have worrying feelings for James Cordon. The fat one from gavin and stacey... didnt like him in that - but sat up and took notice when he presented Big Bro Big Mouth this year.,... ooh, and to my shame, Sean Lock. Someone else please tell me they like Sean?

tyaca · 28/02/2008 00:33

thats would not want to be getting jiggy with pegg.

allytjd · 28/02/2008 23:28

I fancy Sean Lock and feel faintly perturbed by that. The person I can't understand my friends fancying is Gordon Ramsay yeuch, big, arrogant and with a face like a torn scone as my granny would say.

amytheearwaxbanisher · 28/02/2008 23:34

he is hillarious but i dont fancy him

bettie27 · 12/03/2008 09:40

Yes Sean Lock is quite nice. also Jack Dee. I could go on and on about comedians I fancy lol
Oh I like Mark Kermode as well but then men with quiffs are my main thing!

lalalonglegs · 12/03/2008 09:54

rofl at Gordon Ramsay having face like torn scone.

No, not unreasonable at all to fancy Charlie Brooker. He looks as if he would be really, really rude, but in a good way, if you know what I mean.

southeastastra · 12/03/2008 19:54

he is very very funny. loves his article last week about quitting smoking.

Not unreasonable at all, to look at he does nothing for me but, once he opens his mouth and starts talking, I tend to find him very attractive. I like a savage sense of humour in a man but, then I married a man who routinely says 'Die you bitch' every time I sneeze.

And Dylan Moran is, indeed gawjace.

luminarphrases · 12/03/2008 20:05

thank the lord! thought i was the only one who found him sexy!!! dylan moran is v.v. sexy as well

southeastastra · 12/03/2008 20:55

i was googling for david cameron and found this:

Cameron's relatively young age and inexperience before becoming leader have invited satirical comparison with Blair. Private Eye soon published a picture of both leaders on their front cover, with the caption "World's first face transplant a success."[130]

He has also been described by comedy writer and broadcaster Charlie Brooker as being like "a hollow Easter egg with no bag of sweets inside" in his Guardian column.

hehhehehe

Oooh yes Bad boy Tony Soprano.... and Billy Bob Thornton then Alan Rickman and of course John Malkovitch ...

Kevlarhead · 12/03/2008 23:39

Following on from southeastastra's comment....

"There is nothing to him. He is like a hollow Easter egg with no bag of sweets inside. Cameron will say absolutely anything if he thinks it might get him elected. If a shock poll was published saying 99% of the British public were enthusiastic paedophiles, he would drive through the streets in an open-top bus surrounded by the Mini Pops. He's nothing. He's no one."

"It's notoriously tricky to find out much about his past, in the same way that Morgan Freeman and Brad Pitt found it tricky to find out much about the serial killer John Doe in the movie Se7en. He'd managed to erase his entire existence, even slicing the skin off his fingers to avoid leaving prints. Ever seen a close-up of Cameron's fingertips? Of course not. Think about it."

"The apparently self-penned bio on Cameron's website begins, "I was born in October 1966," and then leaps straight forward to 2001, missing out the decades he spent as a guffawing, top-hatted toff in between. The infamous photo of Dave posing alongside his posho chums from the Bullingdon Club in an expensive royal blue tailcoat is one of the few clues we have. It looks like precisely the sort of photo a detective might end up studying in a murder mystery, one where a group of friends accidentally killed a prostitute during a drunken, stormy night, and collaborated on a cover-up. I'm not saying the Bullingdon boys kill prostitutes. I'm just saying I wouldn't be surprised"
