Charlie Brooker

You may not have heard of Charlie Brooker. If not, let me educate you. Charlie Brooker is a journalist for the Guardian and also a TV presenter. However, he is not like the usual bellends that inhabit these Jobs.

I feel that more people should be aware of this man, before he decends into madness and ends up beating someone to death with a shovel.

    Oh, great, another English fuckface that thinks he's the only person that's noticed the duplicity of modern media and thinks that by talking in one long continual sentence about it he is somehow being edgy and anti-status quo. I don't give a fuck, get off my youtube you boring bastard. But look, it's Gilles from Buffy when he used to do adverts for Nescafe! Now there's something worth noticing.

    He also did The Invisibles recently for BBC and it was pretty rubbish. Go watch the old Nescafe adverts instead.

    Oh, also, Will Smith does this only better. Not the scientologist will smith, the english fop will smith. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if this Brooker twat was actually using discarded will smith material.

    You mean the Will Smith that has just obviously copied Charlie Brooker?

    Yeah, I know that guy.

    Yeah Charlie Brooker is totally copying Will Smith. He's so dedicated to doing so that he went back in time like 15 years before Will Smith was doing it just to lay down his cover. You're totally not just an ignorant idiot.

    Will Smith was a writer for TV shows years before he started doing his own gigs. True story.

    I watch Screenwipe and have been reading Brooker since PC Zone. I find screen burn barely tolerable because a full two thirds of the year is dedicated to writing about big brother or x factor or one of the other dozen shows I wouldn't watch at gunpoint.

    And Brooker was the best thing about PC Zone. I'd always try and resist jumping to his reviews or the back page, because it'd only be downhill from there.

    Coincidentally enough, imdb lists both of their first writing jobs as being for the 11 o'clock show in 1998.

    Oh man, Charlie co-wrote Brass Eye as well. Ok, he's not a dick.

    yeah you don't care so much that you just called Brooker a hack that's copying Smith except now that it looks like you're wrong it's time to pretend you don't really care.

    You know, a moron in that you just sort of loudly spew shit all the time without any real regard for your lack of intellect, wit or general mental faculties.

    Rather than a dick in that you're sort of mean, because to be mean requires some basic level of social aptitude rather than the spewing, frothing brain mess required to be a mere moron.

    Or cretin, alternatively.
