YMMV / Newswipe

• Awesome Moments: His dissection of the media's coverage of mass shootings. Sadly, nobody seems to get the message even after the video is shared repeatedly, and after more or less every shooting since.

  • Youtube link submitted as conclusive evidence to this fact.
• Funny Moments:
  • A joke that Crosses the Line Twice by using some very clever sentence-mixing as Charlie discusses newsreaders.
    Charlie: [in voiceover] Many of the familiar newsroom faces had side-jobs, such as warm-throated dapper-chap-about-London-town Richard Baker here, who, when he wasn't telling us about Lieutenant William Calley who'd been convicted of killing twenty-two civilians in My Lai in South Vietnam...
    Richard Baker: ...Lieutenant William Calley, who was convicted of killing twenty-two civilians at My Lai in South Vietnam...

    Baker: [in voiceover] There's Mary. There's Mungo. And there's Midge...who was convicted of killing twenty-two civilians at My Lai in South Vietnam.
  • Nebbish Charlie recreating Bill O'Reilly's Inside Edition meltdown.
  • Also, the how to report the news segment from series 2.
• The Scrappy: As evidenced by the show's Youtube comments, many viewers consider Tim Key's segments to be unfunny and pointless.
