Charlie Brooker: How TV Ruined Your Life (2011)

Share

How TV Ruined Your Life still reposted by The Yale Record college humor magazine.

Charlie Brooker is a national treasure, I’m just annoyed it’s not my nation. Where I live is full of TV producers, so I’ve taken to climbing up on the roof and shouting, “Give Charlie Brooker a goddamn TV show!” I think it’s working.

“How TV Ruined Your Life” is his caustic, addictive takedown of radio. No, obviously not. Think of it as “all the shitty things we all know about TV, but never admit because we like it so much.” Or don’t think of it at all, just sit back and laugh your ass off. This program’s the best use of television since Ruby shot Oswald.
