15 Most Disturbing Black Mirror Moments

It might seem on the surface like this fate is not quite as nasty as the previous mentioned, but one needs to keep in mind that this is eternal torment, done Black Mirror style.

Not only was Joe Potter's digital clone left trapped inside a computer-generated log cabin for countless thousands of years, but his only company was the audibly jarring sound of Wizard's I Wish It Could be Christmas Every Day, played on endless loop and doomed to grow progressively louder should he tamper with the audio.

Not only that, but he had zero faculty through which to escape this endless nightmare, as the show ends with him seemingly unable to even retreat into his own mind.

Unlike previous instances, the crime did not fit the punishment. Joe made a few mistakes, but the fate which befell his computerized copy took cruelty towards artificial intelligence to new lows. It cleverly sparked the concept of 'Rights for A.I.' within the Black Mirror canon, but more crucially, it left viewers with a despairing sense of empathy over an unforgettable, and mathematically unimaginable scenario.

Wizard for thousands of years, people! Just playing that song twice in a row can drive you nuts.
