Warning though, its not for the politically correct or easily offended

I guess the question is, do we call this comedy or not
Personally I think its out there and risqué, but many disagree

Frankie Boyle is a legend. His work on Mock The Week is brilliant. He is one of those people who has no seven second delay from their brain to their mouth, he just says stuff.

Wish there was more like him.

His Show Tramadol Nights was suprisngly dissapointing, due to bad sketch comedy
I heard that HBO had been in contact with him
"Late Nights with Frankie Boyle" sounds alright

 

[BarneyBent]

Unfortunately, every third joke or so goes completely over my head because I can't understand what the **** he's saying. Need to work on my Scottish brogue comprehension.

 

[Tairy Greene]

Because of him, I can't watch any of the craptacular current affair comedy shows we have in this country. He is unbelievably good. Anyone read his autobiography? It's gold!

Those last two youtube clips have crapped out FWIW.

My best mate has a Downie brother. I still laughed my arse off.

 

[B_GLassi]

he has some of the best one-liners.

I have a Downs Syndrome cousin who I'm very close to, and I found it hilarious too. I think it's the type of humour. It's not cruel, it's not ignorant, it's basic, set-up/punchline humour that actually doesn't reflect any real negative attitude.

Agreed, its the people that take what is said seriously on face value without irony that appear to have issues with what is said
They cant see past what is said

How painful is it listening to these Australian comedians after experiencing guys like this? This guy is very funny.

Agreed. Frankie is brilliant.

These kind of British comedians who appear on shows like Mock The Week are so far ahead of the shows we have here. More understated and far, far funnier.

 

[Bomber Bears]

Mock the Week is a brilliant show, especially the first 7 seasons when Frankie was on. Dara and Hugh Dennis are both hilarious as well, and Ed Byrne and David Mitchell when on are also golden.

Harsh bloke, but piss funny.

Also do occasionally have a rough time with the accent, it is certainly quite thick.

Yep, I can't stand the circle jerk that is Spick & Specks now either after watching Never Mind the Buzzcocks for a few years over there. The guest will be some washed up 80's performer and they'll fawn over them like they were the biggest act ever. Now Simon Amstell on the other hand....

 

[Ross Prunster]

Not a patch on Franky Doyle. Stealing Lizzie Birdsworth's teeth. Classic.

Top quality show. The Simon Amstell seasons were the best.
