Reality check with bells on

February 27, 2010 by Helena Halme 9 Comments

This clip is from the BBC Four series, Charlie Brooker’s Newswipe. The Doug Stanhope feature has become my family’s favourite bit of the programme.
His commentary on life is so true it’s scary. And obviously hilarious. Enjoy.

    Doug Stanhope's pretty funny I think. His spot on here actually reminds me a lot of the old Denis Leary black and white MTV spots from the early 90s where he'd just rant for 60 seconds about something with lots of fast cuts and edits. Back when I was young and he was still funny. I think Jonathan Ross used to air those segments on his show back in the day in the UK.
