I can’t stand Frankie Boyle. His humour is just as distasteful as that of the late Bernard Manning. At least Bernard Manning looked funny, so you could have a good laugh at the ugly fat man with your sound turned down if you wished. Frankie Boyle just looks nasty, and sounds nasty, and says nasty things. My advice to Boyle is eat lots of Glaswegian food and put on 10 stone then we might have something to laugh at!

I cant stand him either. I find him unamusing and up his own erse. Barnard Manning was Tame compared to him.
I really dislike Frankie boyle and what he has become.11 December, 2010 at 10:20 pm #456194I see Channel 4 are now defending Boyle and the way he’s “pushing the boundaries of humour”.
So can we expect a run of shows by childrens’ shows Roy Chubby Brown, or some Bernard Manning repeats, perhaps? May be a bit of Jethro or Jim Davidson. Or possibly Billy Connolly losing it onstage and swearing at an audience member to see how many people he can get to walk out. Or how about a chat show hosted by John McCririck wearing only his Y-fronts and (of course) his deerstalker.
I see I’ve been a bit sexist here by not including any offensive women. I’ll soon fix that with two words: Jenny Eclair.
12 December, 2010 at 8:52 am #456195I love Frankie Boyle, but then, I love Bernard Manning!
12 December, 2010 at 5:00 pm #456196Frankie Boyle must have had his brain out of gear with the joke he made about Jordan’s autistic son and her cage fighter husband. Had he forgotten what cage fighting was?
“Er, boss, shall I give Mr. Boyle’s face the Lucien Freud treatment or shall I give him a full Francis Bacon?”
“Neither, give ‘im a Jackon Pollock!”But then, I suppose Boyle is the stand-up equivalent of a cage fighter.
12 December, 2010 at 9:35 pm #456197jokes about disabled kids Dont really amuse me, I would have thought FB would have known better as he has a chequered past himeslf. He started off with satirical visions that were brilliant in their own comedic effect. Was sacked from a Scottish newspaper, then seems now to push ” boundaries”.. my erse ! Finding humour in innocents, is a cowards way out !

I’m just sick of the fact that he can’t mention Glasgow without referring to violence, crime, drugs and bad food. I’m a Glaswegian and there are enough stereotypes. Look at all the alcoholic, wife-beating male Scottish characters on TV.
Funny joke first time round, Frankie, but you have to put Glasgow or Scotland down every single time I see you. It gets old – really old.
For those of you who would like to visit Glasgow it has some of the best architecture, galleries and concert halls in the Europe, houses the headquarters of most major Scottish Arts organisations, has more parkland than any other city in the UK and is a great place for a night out.
Other British cities are of course available. Just like Glasgow they have overweight citizens and people who take drugs, and they have a lot to offer too.
Frankie is funny but it’s always the same joke. Shock me Frankie and do something I don’t expect.

inverted snobbery is a bugger.

Flaming huge beard now though. What’s that all about?
Agree completely. I’m proud to be from the mad, bad, beautiful city of Glasgow – even if I do live in Wales.
I’ll be toasting all the weggies out there with tonight’s dram. (Not that I always have one or am an alcoholic. Can’t feed the stereotype now, can we? Hehe.)

He’s not even the best drummer in the Beatles.Other sites keep positing who the equivalent to the Beatles would be NOW. You know, a current band that your grandmother would know. Most seem to answer Radiohead but I think it would be some Beatles tribute outfit . . . .
You have to search t’internet for real originality these days. Some of them even write their own stuff.
Imagine that.:-$
