Another reason why I wouldn't wipe my arse with the likes of the Mirror or The Sun

And the jury finds in Frankie's favour...

Good really. Anybody that actually listens to what Frankie says would realise that he doesnt actually believe the things he says; He is merely doing it to bring attention to the issue, or just for shock humour.

Like Alf Garnett back in the 70s. Loads of people thought that he was a card-carrying Nat Front man, but he was taking the piss out of them...

Yeah possibly. I was born in 83, so that may be outside my frame of reference

Think loads of "nig-nog" and "wog" references, and you get the picture.

youtube to the rescue.

Ive gone right off him recently, he goes for nothing but shock factor now.

He used to be funny, just think ran out of material

Dingle · 23-Oct-2012, 19:39

Did he just lift a load of gags from sickipedia and pass them off as his own? He's not racist he's just not funny.

I've never been a Boyle fan, I'm glad sense has prevailed though.

Frankie is what he is. You know what you get, and you either watch, or don't. I could label a good half of the prominent standups these days, young & old, as pretty tedious tbh.

Humour is in the ear of the listener, so to speak

I liked him on mock the week but he was poor on his own. He suffered and Mock the Week has become utter tripe. It was never great but it steadily got shit.

...and gives his damages to charity, what a nice chap
