Charlie Brooker's Weekly Wipe: Gays in Russia
Aired Thursday night in the UK on BBC Two. Some observations that, if the subject weren't so serious, would be hilarious and spot-on. (Rated TV-MA for language like you'd see on The Daily Show.)

Edit: Hmmm, looks like DU doesn't allow the starting time to be encoded with the URL. The segment on gays in Russia begins at 01:15.
From Wikipedia:
Charlie Brooker's Weekly Wipe is a British television review programme created and presented by Charlie Brooker. ... The programme was commissioned by the BBC in November 2012, with six episodes ordered. It began airing on 31 January 2013, and was broadcast simultaneously on BBC Two and BBC HD. A second series of six episodes began airing on 9 January 2014.
Weekly Wipe follows a similar format to Brooker's earlier works. It features Brooker commenting on a range of recent programmes, events, games, and films. Brooker presents the programme from both his living room and a presenters' desk, similar to Newswipe. Brooker also narrates news footage, and other VTs, commenting humorously on their content. Whilst covering the most prominent events of the week, Weekly Wipe also satirises more commonplace or minor occurrences.
