The first episode of Nathan Barley, Chris Morris and Charlie Brooker's British sitcom satirizing hip media and startup scenesters in mid-2000s Shoreditch. Cynical writer Dan Ashcroft finds himself idolized by the moronic Nathan Barley.

Recommended as a savage, ahead-of-its-time parody of startup and tech culture.

Late to this, but it reminds me of 'the rise of the idiots' from the 2006(!) series 'Nathan Barley' link ▶ this video
