In Charlie Brooker's Screenwipe show, here's a poor shopping channel host who Poor Charlie Brooker. The BBC's Screenwipe show host was only trying to sell a television on QVC UK when a silly show came on! Hit play or go to Link [YouTube] - via Arbroath
the show is this excellent part of the fantastic charlie brookers show screenwipe http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wiwmYjk9ARA
ted, I don't think that is the point of the humour.
In Charlie Brookers show, the one visible on the plasma TV, CB is berating a certain kind of man in advertising. He uses the word "cock" not in it's genital sense but to berate and deflate the men involved.
The humour lies in the fact that the CBSW segment berating bad advertising then shows up by mistake in an advertisement, by a man.
you can watch the original CBSW segment here, you will understand: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wiwmYjk9ARA
angstrom: can't the joke be enjoyed on both levels? I mean, when you are advertising something, the last thing you want to flash up on the screen is something like "COCKS". (Unless you are advertising Viagra, perhaps)
Thanks for the explanation, Angstrom. You really got down to the meat and potatoes there. Here, I was feeling like the cock of the walk, but now I just feel like a weiner.

Nathan Barley, Screen wipe and his recent Dead Set, a zombie flick set in the Big Brother house.
righteous stuff.
The show on the TV is "Charlie Brooker's screenwipe", an excellent show where Charlie Brooker heckles TV.
I have no idea who the guy doing the commercial is.
