Awesome! Last 5 seconds FTW! What is this show?


Screenwipe

This was succeeded by Newswipe which we've seen around the sift before and his panel show 'You have been watching'

Yesterday he also started a radio 4 show titled 'So wrong it's right'.

All of them worth a watch/listen.

Correct deano. Brooker has had many sifts here with newswipe and screenwipe and whatever-else-wipe. They always do very well, people find the guy witty and clever.
Yet when an apple product gets bashed by him, they scrunch their eyes up real tight, pound their fists on their desks and squeak their fury.
If people bothered to think for a second, this is a recent SIFT, it isn't a recent production by brooker. He made this long long ago when the ipad was just announced, so all these things you're saying he's "repeating", him and his ilk were the ones who came up with it.
Brooker's paid to be sarcastic and pessimistic about the media, or politics, or whatever his show is about. He's made a living off it and he's pretty well acclaimed. Him and david mitchell are not dissimilar. Mitchell's just a bit more geeky.


An additional note, for those wondering about brooker's geekiness, he was editor of PC zone (like PC gamer, and coincidentally both owned by the same company, despite being rivals) for a good couple of years.

Horrible review. That arrogant mocking is the kind of attitude you get from unthinking haters. I would never trust their opinion. I happen to agree with his basic critique, but his attitude was so repulsive I think I'll give the iPad another chance. After all, I enjoyed playing Plants vs Zombies on it.


It's a comedy show. He's putting it on for laughs. Do we have to explain when people are simply taking the piss? Whether he means it or not is not relevant - the entertainment value is. But fanboys do need something to get worked up about.

BTW Newswipe has been nominated for a Bafta so well done to Brooker on that front.

It's like Charlie Brooker's generic news report but for America

Lovely. Brings to mind Charlie Brooker's generic news report.

nice vid, Newswipe explains in a television show to other why I don't watch TV anymore.. Thanks for that! Some people do not believe anything until they see it on a television, so that makes my job of explaining easier

Your video, Newswipe - How we all became Richard Nixon, has made it into the Top 15 New Videos listing. Congratulations on your achievement. For your contribution you have been awarded 1 Power Point.
