Taught him everything he knows - well, taught him to drop his juggling act anyway.

What the ****ity **** is this? I knew he was painfully unfunny but ****ing Jebus, that's just embarrassing.

Agree over most, but I'd put his former comedy partner Richard Herring alongside him.

I struggle to understand how anyone sentient can not find Brooker's writing pretty damn brilliant either

He is, quite simply, that funny, articulate and observant **** that I wish I was

I do like Charlie Brooker, but I just find the whole 'lets sneer at everything popular' angle just a bit boring. He does come up with some good points, and in places is very funny, but hating everything because it is popular I find a bit sad.
Also over recent years his attitude towards popular culture has seen him become part of the thing he claims to loathe. It is a similar thing with Stewart Lee, he received a British Comedy Award and acted disgusted that he had received one....yet still accepted it.

I don't think he hates everything that's popular, have you ever watched Screenwipe? While he can be scathing at times, he also dedicates a lot of time to celebrating and praising the shows on TV that he loves; The Wire, Deadwood, 24.
He's never struck me as someone who 'sneers' at something just for the sake of it. More often than not, the TV shows, or people, or institutions he aims his vitriol at are wholly deserving of it.
Plus he's a funny ****er:

"Disgusted" you say?
Really?

I must be confusing him with a different Charlie Brooker

The ex-Hearts manager? Never struck me as particularly funny to be honest. Bit of miserable Scotch twat.
Edit: That's a bit harsh actually. I'm basing my opinion on his post-match interviews when he was at Bradford, when he most definitely was a sour-faced ****. He may have changed.
