Frankie Boyle

[grumpyhack]

I find sharp observation is another key to successful comedy. It's identifying things that we encounter every day but getting us to look at them from a different angle. That's one of the successes of Grumpy Old Men and Grumpy Old Women. It's all "Have you noticed how......?" and you think "Yes, I have to put up with that too."

Dave Allen was brilliant!

Humour is one of the most powerful tools of propaganda that we possess.

similar sound of different words..?

The American office, season two onwards, is better than the British office.

The American office

[Pogues Mcgogues]

I've watched that a couple of times and found it intolerable.

Comedy has progressed and changed in the large part but when you look at the career of the of Ant and Dec , they are massive and their popularity has more to thank from the likes of Mocambe and Wise than it does from anything modern and I'm sure there are plenty of more examples.

I actually feel dirty mentioning Ant and Dec in a thread about comedy but my point still stands.

I take your point, but are Ant & Dec comedians (in the accepted sense )

[omskus]

I believe Frankie is very funny and trying to push the envelope. Although somethings going on - he's been pulled tonight!

cut that hes on tomorrow!

Where are all the good acts and sitcoms now?

[Snufflebutt]

you know you're getting offensive material and you should also know you're getting humour, when you just have controversy and shock without the humour though, it's pointless.

[dakyras]

I'm quite old, if that's what you mean

what's the Facebook?

is it the same as Facebook?

[llcoolphil]

It's not a pun in any way shape or form, it's a homophone.

[irons]

peep show.

[Purple Monkey]

Anyone watched the Morgana Show?

The only thing I even remotely found funny was the sketch where she plays an idiot boy.

It's very good. But Royal Family had the same following and it fell away. I think Peeps Shows been going for 7 series now? That's excellent.

I got a few chuckles from Frankie Boyle last night, more than I got from Rock and Chips.

[Purple Monkey]

A girl I work with raves about it. It's shite.

The only good thing I thought was her Fern Cotton impression, which was spot on, but the jokes were shite

I've never watched The Morgana show and I have no intention of doing so now.

[windy_miller]

Tramadol NIghts is awful. I managed about 5 minutes of it without a single laugh so I turned it off.

[nightcrawler13]

the morgana show hurts

however her impression of fern cotton was great

i quite like the little boy making his own show with a hamster, when i used to teach kids in rochdale how to use computers a fair few were like him
