He’s a c*nt, nothing more and nothing less. Any idiot can be gratuitously offensive and and insult those who can’t defend themselves, that doesn’t take talent. He’s right up there with Jimmy Saville for creepiness and general disgustingness – and shares a lot in common in many ways.

Blah, blah, blah. Wha, wah, wah. Go quench your thirst for a routine about a ‘man drawer’ and leave the satire for us grown ups, eh?

Excellent blog! Do you have any hints for aspiring writers?

I’m planning to start my own website soon but I’m a little
lost on everything. Would you advise starting with a free platform like
Wordpress or go for a paid option? There are so many choices out there that I’m totally overwhelmed .. Any suggestions? Kudos!

I’m sorry but all that matters when it comes to comedy. JHe is not funny is does it make you laugh and Frankie Boyle doesn’t do it

I’ve never come across a comedian whose jokes do not sometimes fall flat on their faces. There is always dead parts of a set. One of Boyle’s main problems is over-exposure. He doesn’t need to do several books, weekly articles, stand-up, twitter and a tv-show. If he cuts some of that out and spends more time on less books and one really good tv show, his on-stage persona of a half-drunk bigotted Glaswegian titilated by selacious tabloid news stories would work better because there would not be so much oppertunity to become so familiar with it and therefore viewers would not so easily fall into the trap of believing that is his true personality, which in turn leads people to think that if he makes a joke about Harvey Price then disabled people are being bullied, rather than satirising the banal, vacuous glamour/reality-tv industry is not the joke’s target, which in fact it was. If you see him interviewed talking about non-comic issues or meet him it becomes quite clear that his default personailty is exteremely different to the perception most of the commentators have of him. The difference is like the difference between Al Murray and his pub-landlord character, but because Boyle doesn’t have a costume or a prop, people assume that’s 100% just him and if he makes a joke about child-abuse it’s because he thinks we’re all too soft and should lighten up about child abuse, which is clearly nonsense if you have any sort of ability to analyse comic techniques. People make the same mistake with Anthony Jeselnic sometimes.

You obviously never saw Tramadol Nights then. Also you wouldn’t get this article if you bought The Sun, Frankie writes a column there.

Who the hell was stupid enough to publish this crap on their website?!?! This is just an uneducated rant by some guy who clearly has a chip on his shoulder about not going to university or, if he did, he got a 2.2. If I wanted to read this I would buy the Sun, or I would get Twitter. What the hell has university got to do with comedy? You don’t have to be a uni student to be stand-up comedian; it’s just slightly more likely because uni students tend to be both intelligent and articulate. Frankie is a hit and miss comedian, but when he’s on the top of his game he’s unstoppable.

This article complains about a supposedly rude, witless comedian……… with an unstructured, laboured, boring, unsubstantiated rant. Is it just me that sees the irony in this?

Having had a brief look through your misogynistic, complaining, self-pitying, aggressive writing material on this website I guess I shouldn’t be surprised by such poor quality. This material clearly marks you out as the c*nt that you so readily accuse other people of being.

I find the bloke funny, genuinely very funny but he can’t take what he gives. Here’s what he blocked me for after he said:

“It’s my 40th birthday tomorrow and I have to say I’m not dreading it! I’m dreading death.”

to which I replied:

“happy birthday Frankie. So basically you are dreading tomorrow then.”

But making fun of real children with Down’s Syndrome is fair game them? Funny but a fucking hypocrite.

Boyle annoys me. Certainly talented he spunks that talent away by turning his wit to the heady topics of ‘You’ve got AIDs’, ‘You’re a Paedo’ and ‘You’re the Paedo that gave HIM AIDs.’

Jesus Christ man.

This is how you get your own show?

Tramadol Nights was an abject lesson in how bad Channel 4 can be.

Sketches that would have been out of place 20 years ago filling up large sections of nothingness.

‘Wouldn’t it be funny if KITT was a bit lippy?’

Yeah, it would have been. If I was nine and I was still at school.

I’m not saying every act has to be ground-breaking and thoughtful. But at least show a bit of inventiveness.

That said. I would rather watch Frankie Boyle burrow his career into the ground for the rest of eternity than watch a single second that no-joke-comediann Jack Whitehall crop up on another panel/stand up show ever again.

For info. I never went to Uni and have no idea what a 2.1 is.
