Charlie Brooker's "How TV Ruined Your Life"

[WillYouDoTheDangFanjo]

...has made me laugh so much that I have felt the need to hold my eyes in and it's only been on for 20 minutes

I love Charlie, shit hair and all.

I like his hair. Better than the "grumpy uncle" do he had a few years ago. Think he's getting foxier.

Love it!

Haven't watched it yet but I adore him. Preferred his old hair though.

Aw shite it's finished, I was settling in for an hour there.

love him...not seen a bad thing hes done. taped it!

love charlie brooker, and have only just discovered him
all the time he was writing for the guardian and i didnt read him

The man is a legend

oh slarty you missed some very funny column inches! sorry!

im sorry too

why didnt i just give him a chance

you may well be able to find his back catalogue for the Guardian online!

great idea

He is excellent isn't he? Brutally honest and with great delivery.

Just buy his books.

Dawn of the dumb, Screen burn and The hell of it all.

In all the years I've been watching his stuff I've never disagreed with him once, he is all ways spot on, Charlie Brooker for PM.

Plus look up his Screenwipe pieces on Youtube I recommend the ones about how TV works and news readers and the one about aspirational TV that includs the best "Fuck off" ever seen in the history of the human race.

Oooh books too! I'll have to look out for those. I was crying with laughter last night.

I'm sure I met him a few times when he used to work at CeX back in the day (probably did I bought almost all my games there).

and I'm sure his hair was dark then, I was a bit taken aback by the light colour of his hair now days.

Just thought I'd mention he's also married to Konnie Huq (no I wouldn't have put those two together in a million years!!)

I just don't get the him and Konnie thing. She's really annoying and everything he does is wonderful. Highly recommend the books too.

Who cares?

Charlie Brooker for state analyst

(if that's even a job)

Yes, Charlie gets my vote too. I think Konnie has been pissing around with his hair to try and keep the ladies off the scent.

Mmm, good this week, four belly laughs and one suck through the teeth already...

Awesome

Konnie's not at all annoying in real life. She came to the school I work at after the Fairy/Mumsnet thing and she was great with the kids, very sweet and funny.

When I spotted her on Telly outside of kids TV she is foul mouthed and sarcastic (I think it was on a quiz show or something).

Wasn't keen on last nights show it was a total re hash of the aspirational TV segment of Screenwipe (minus the best fuck off ever produced by a human being unfortunately, as that bit was replaced with "Why").

I can sort of forgive him for it seeing as it is How TV Ruined Your Life, you can't really get away from the fact aspirational TV should be in it but I wish he hadn't made it so blatantly the same even down to the dossers and booze vs swanky wankers in wine bars.
