'I Can't Get A Contract Phone, Only Pay-As-You-Go...'
I met up with vampirespider yesterday, which was lovely! We rambled about the fandomisation of politics and Charlie Brooker's uniquely disturbing brand of adorability, and then we watched the Kids' TV Special of You Have Been Watching, which showcases both the disturbing and the adorable aspects of Brooker rather well. (I was lucky enough to be at the recording; my report is here.)
My main thought: I CAN'T BELIEVE THEY KEPT THE END OF THE MR FUGGLES SEGMENT IN. I STILL CAN'T BELIEVE CHARLIE BROOKER DID THAT IN THE FIRST PLACE. It delights me in ways I'd prefer not to examine too closely.
Some brilliant person has already uploaded the Mr Fuggles segment of last night's You Have Been Watching to YouTube. Watch it before the channel gets wind of it and it gets blocked in the UK! It is only three minutes long and so adorable and also so very, very twisted. CHARLIE BROOKER, SOMETHING IS VERY WRONG WITH YOU and I love it.
Seriously, I love Mr Fuggles' puppeteer. He is an absolute genius. And I very much hope that Mr Fuggles becomes a recurring figure in fanfiction and indeed in my life. Mr Fuggles is a bit odd-looking but has captured my heart utterly, much like Brooker himself.
why whyyyyyyyyy is the ending of that clip hot Brooker you have broken me
EDIT: th_esaurus has made a GIF of That Moment.
I can't stop watching it. I'm genuinely worried. THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT, BROOKER; YOUR INAPPROPRIATE SEXUAL TASTES HAVE RUINED MY MIND.
