| 3 | ''So Wrong It's Right'' is a [[Creator/TheBBC BBC Radio 4]] comedy panel show hosted by Creator/CharlieBrooker. It bills itself as a celebration of failure where panellists are rewarded for providing objectionable, embarrassing, morally appalling - in a word, ''wrong'' - suggestions and anecdotes. Three series were broadcast in 2010, 2011 and 2012. |

| 6 | !!''So Wrong It's Right'' provides examples of: |
| 7 | * AccentuateTheNegative: Doesn't so much demonstrate this trope as revolve around it. |
| 8 | * CrapsackWorld: Ours. One of the rounds is actually called "This Putrid Modern Hell," and it's introduced with ''feeling.'' |
| 9 | * TheCynic: Creator/CharlieBrooker's persona, towards which panellists are encouraged to gravitate by the format. |
| 10 | * DigitalPiracyIsEvil: Discussed in one episode. Everyone ends up agreeing that the trope is hateful, with Brooker even announcing that he likes having his work pirated. |
| 11 | * IWantMyJetpack |
| 12 | -->"I thought the biggest developments of the 21st Century would involve the introduction of jetpacks, holidays on the Moon, and robot concubines in every home. Instead we got Simon Cowell and Nando's." |
| 13 | * LiteralMinded: Josie Long, who responded to a prompt about bad restaurant chains by describing the most repellent act of cruelty she could imagine (murdering a teacup pig). |
| 14 | * NewTechnologyIsEvil: One of Brooker's favourite tropes. One development that was deemed particularly depressing was the inclusion with mobile phones of pre-programmed texts such as "I love you too." |
| 15 | * SigningOffCatchPhrase: Brooker ends every episode the same way. |
| 16 | -->"GO AWAY." |
| 17 | * SpinTheBottle: Creator/LeeMack's anecdote about his catastrophic FirstKiss. |
| 18 | * ThePointsMeanNothing: Like most comedy panel shows, the points are really just an excuse for funny rants and banter. |
| 19 | * TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Rufus Hound delivers one to Brooker after naming him as the worst thing about modern life, though it's more of a veiled compliment, describing Rufus' frustration that someone else expresses his opinions with so much more panache. |
