You can save this one till the end:

Do you agree with those eejits who say that women are not as funny as men?

JackBauer · 23/11/2009 12:18

Don't blame me just because you can't spell.

Although your first post beats Cameron so don't panic my dear.

blinder · 23/11/2009 12:18

midnightexpress it depends what you mean by 'funny'

CharlieBrooker · 23/11/2009 12:18

kittykitty et al Modern Warfare 2. Yes I have played it snuffle around the Guardian site and you should find a short review.

The airport level's pretty grisly and worst of all it most of the time I find it ends just before I've managed to ejaculate.

I bet David Cameron never said that.

d0gsbody · 23/11/2009 12:19

Charlie,

Have you seen the V remake yet? And if so, waddaya think? Personally, I'm loving it!

ILikeToMoveItMoveIt · 23/11/2009 12:19

Good-oh

Carry on being defensive because you make me giggle.

Yes giggle, because your comments are so close to the bone I feel naughty doing a belly laugh so I do a nervous giggle instead - yes I really am that square

ChoChoSan · 23/11/2009 12:19

Hi Charlie,

How often do you bump into celebs about whom you have made scathing comments, now that you inhabit slebville yourself...and how excruciating is it? Examples plz.

MissAnthrope · 23/11/2009 12:20

Charlie,

Do you enjoy doing book signings?

I toyed with the idea of attending one of your recent ones then remembered that I hate the general public/queuing and couldn't bring myself to leave the house.

CharlieBrooker · 23/11/2009 12:20

Seriously though folks, Modern Warfare 2 isn't really an appropriate kiddywink gift for Xmas. It's an 18 rated game.

The airport level is just a bad taste misfire in a rather silly bombastic blockbuster.

It's quite good but it's no Fallout 3

Skegness · 23/11/2009 12:21

You see Cameron more as a premature ejaculator?

ChoChoSan, I've occasionally bumped into people I've been rude about. They've always ALWAYS turned out to be incredibly nice people. Which leaves me feeling like a bastard.

We were rude about Nicky Campbell quite a bit on a show I did recently, and I felt bad about that. If I bumped into him I'd probably stare at my shoes and mumble apologies.

I am a puss.

ILikeToMoveItMoveIt · 23/11/2009 12:22

Good question chocho

Come on, spill Charlie.

CharlieBrooker · 23/11/2009 12:22

botbot, Tiswas obviously.

ChoChoSan · 23/11/2009 12:25

Charlie,

What do you think it is that makes you so popular with the women of MN, given that you are not handsome in the traditional sense, and that you present your self as bitterly disappointed with the world around you?

What's your secret?

JuanMoreTime · 23/11/2009 12:25

charlie - did you ever answer the question..

"Who in fact are you?"

thanks

CharlieBrooker · 23/11/2009 12:25

cocolepew, you don't get the questions in advance on Buzzcocks, but you do see a bit of video. It was a weird record that, a very odd atmosphere hence my relative silence. I genuinely thought Dappy was going to fight Noel Fielding at several points. It was like sitting in a train carriage overhearing a group of people and not being sure if they're joking or about to kick off. Strange.

JuanMoreTime · 23/11/2009 12:25

aha
intersting cross post.
he ain't poplier with me - He might be my postman for all I know

BecauseImWorthIt · 23/11/2009 12:27

Why did you want to come on MN, CB? As in 'visit', natch ...

CharlieBrooker · 23/11/2009 12:27

ChoChoSan, I'm MASSIVELY handsome in the traditional sense. Are you mad? You're pointing your eyes the wrong way, into your horrible brain.

MissWooWoo · 23/11/2009 12:27

Charlie

what's your best christmas present ever and who'll be stuffing your turkey this year?

xx

cocolepew · 23/11/2009 12:27

And why does Noel always muss his hair up? It's very distracting. Dappy was grim.

weegiemum · 23/11/2009 12:27

Charlie, I'd just like to say thanks for the stuff you've written in the Guardian over the last year about sleep.

I am now much more at peace with my inner insomniac and use the hour I am awake in the middle of the night to read the newspaper and chill all on my own (a novelty, as I have 3 kids).

Otherwise I try to go for a drive and operate heavy machinery (good advice!)

Thanks a lot!

CharlieBrooker · 23/11/2009 12:29

BecauseImWorthIt, because they asked, innit
