More quotes by Charlie Brooker
At the other end of the spectrum, George Gideon Oliver King Rameses Osborne, the fourteen-year-old novelty Chancellor and future baronet of Ballentaylor and Ballylemon - a man so posh he probably weeps champagne.
Charlie Brooker
It's a barrel of laughs, isn't it? It makes The Day After look like friggin'...insert name of cheerful thing here. It was one of the things that made me really worry about worst-case scenarios. There's something impish and probably somewhat therapeutic about thinking about those things.
Charlie Brooker
I mean, sometimes we do do that, The National Anthem was a caustic satire and sometimes that's the way to go with the story rather than me being particularly misanthropic.
Charlie Brooker
I could worry about pretty much anything you put in front of me, so I'm not actually sort of anti-technology. So it doesn't sort of come out of that. It's not like a fear of the future. It's a fear of everything.
Charlie Brooker
My theory is that we used to have several personalities, and now we're encouraged to have one online.
Charlie Brooker
I've always had a bad attention span.
Charlie Brooker
I am neurotic, and I'm a worrier.
Charlie Brooker
I'm terrible at reading fiction. I don't have the attention span - it's awful.
Charlie Brooker
I'm somewhat socially inept. Slide me between two strangers at any light-hearted jamboree and I'll either rock awkwardly and silently on my heels, or come out with a stone-cold conversation-killer like, This room's quite rectangular, isn't it? I glide through the social whirl with all the elegance of a dog in high heels
Charlie Brooker
Your grades are not your destiny: they're just letters and numbers which rate how well you performed in one artificial arena, once.
Charlie Brooker
[The rumor that David Cameron maybe once did this unspeakable thing with a pig's head] it was freakish and weird. It seemed such a coincidence that I couldn't quite process it. And then, as it sank in, I genuinely had the thought, Am I living in a Truman Show sort of VR simulation designed to send me insane?
Charlie Brooker
I saw The Twilight Zone for the first time when I was 12 or 13. I used to stay up late to watch.
Charlie Brooker
As long as we've still got crazy what if ideas, we can continue [Black Mirror]. It's outpacing reality that's probably the challenge.
Charlie Brooker
The iPad falls between two stools - not quite a laptop, not quite a smartphone. In other words, it's the spork of the electronic consumer goods world.
Charlie Brooker
[One of my kids ]is not named after Aldous Huxley. I haven't even read Brave New World!
Charlie Brooker
In many ways, Big Brother is the present day equivalent of a 1980s Club 18-30 Holiday - flirting, sunbathing, silly little organised games, and lots of people you'd like to remove from the genepool with a cricket bat.
Charlie Brooker
'Waldo' was one episode I always felt I didn't quite crack. And weirdly, now that feels like one of the more prescient ones.
Charlie Brooker
[My parents when I was a kid] would go, It's a nice hot day. Why are you inside watching the TV? And you go, Well, 'cause it's better?
Charlie Brooker
Don't accuse anyone with the temerity to question your sad supernatural fantasies of having a 'closed mind' or being 'blind to possibilities'. A closed mind asks no questions, unthinkingly accepting that which it wants to believe. The blindness is all yours.
Charlie Brooker
The biggest teenage taboo is being strait-laced. It's easy to tell a researcher you went to a house party that turned into an orgy. It's less easy to say you like eating toast and watching QI.
Charlie Brooker
