* MotorMouth: When reporting on the 2013 horse meat scandal he mused, "I don't know about you but when I ate a burger I used to think 'mmm what a tasty compacted disc of minced tissue scrapings blasted off a cow carcass with a high-pressure hose in a fly-blown abattoir ringing with the incoherent agonized howls of simple beasts dying from a single bolt-gun shot to the forehead' but now it turns out it might not have been as appetising as that" without stopping for a single breath.

* AnAesop: Following a school shooting in Germany, Charlie Brooker intersects an interview with a forensic psychiatrist, in which he disperses some advice in how the media should deal with such an event, with footage of news broadcasts doing the exact opposite. The dour music and the bitter, resigned tone of Charlie Brooker's voice make it abundantly clear that he is ''not amused'' and wants the audience to think how he does about this.

Creator/CharlieBrooker's ''Newswipe'' is a spinoff of ''Series/{{Screenwipe}}'', Charlie Brooker's television-review show, focused particularly on news reporting. It's especially interesting because Charlie Brooker admits in the first episode that he hardly knows anything about current events, the news, or anything else, and was hoping to learn more as part of this show. This gives the show more accessibility than most shows about the news, or indeed the news itself.
The show, while still funny, is usually quite bleak in tone, and not for the faint of heart in some instances. It exposes many of the lies and sensationalism inherent in much of the news reporting. Altogether educational but also disheartening at times.
