GB News morphing seamlessly into Don’t Look Up is hilarious and horrifying in equal measure

Despite the overwhelming evidence to the contrary, there are some people who continue to insist that this week’s record-breaking extreme heat is something to enjoy rather than be worried about.

Like GB News, for instance.

And this particular clip of the hatstand news channel went wildly viral after it was put together with apocalyptic satire Don’t Look Up because, well, best have a watch for yourself.

See if you can spot the difference.

Uncanny.

And here are just a few of the many, many things people were saying about it.

1.

A lot of people were very so-so on Don't Look Up because it wasn't very subtle and then interviews like this come along and highlight why it didn't need to be subtle at all. https://t.co/qYTZx12yPu

It’s as if GB News is really a parody of a dumb news channel https://t.co/8riL1sBCNS

And then none other than Don’t Look Up director Adam McKay himself got involved …

There are clips like this from quite a few European countries floating around but not any from the USA. Why? Because the US for the most part doesn’t have any substantive discussions with climate activists or scientists on broadcast news.#ClimateEmergency #EndClimateSilence https://t.co/Uyfm8bj2BW

Don’t look up, but only when GB News is on.
