Frankie Boyle - business as usual (Rebecca Adlington)

Well I find it funny because it is so disgusting, it's soo fucked up to be funny because it's in the realm of the absurd.

Making fun of a women simply cause you don't find her attractive disgusts me more because it's just a continuation of very real and very inane day to day cuntishness.

are you suggesting that you might find humour in debasing children and that if we were to look at the comment in a serious light we might read into it more than was there originally only to then reveal something about how our own minds work rather than anything about you the person who made the comment...

either you understand this or you don't...

how can I give a full answer if the criteria for this group think exercise I have not had...
ignoring the stupid question is still an answer, it's just not one you or they like... if you cannot see the parallels then you're just stupid... which in your case... well let leave that there eh?

Oh stop spouting such drivel, that makes absolutely no sense whatsoever.

Point to anywhere on this thread that anyone has called for Boyle to explicitly be censored. You do not any criteria for what makes a joke, you just need to know what 'censorship' means. Now, show us or shut up.

oh right so Franky Boyle was just being absurd, it was really working on a deeper level?

there are many comedians I'd accept that about Gervais or even Jimmy Carr, but like you said before Boyle isn't that snide, he's just a direct idiot.

I need to know where the unseen rules of appropriate humour are in order to assess whether this joke falls between them or not no?

you are asking for an absolutist statement is this acceptable or not. I'm saying that it's acceptable, it might not be palatable however to start a call out thread decrying a comic for their joke could be seen as well bullying by some. Moreover I've not said people are calling for him to be censored go back and read I've said that trying to apply a default criteria on humour is a form of censorship and in doing so you censor their work...

if you can't get what's being said I'm not here to teach you...

No, he and a host of other posters, are asking you to a) show where anyone has called for censorship of boyle on this thread and b) show where you have previously done so on this thread as you have claimed.

Now get to it.

nope you're being deliberately obtuse as always ... it has no deeper level it's a joke... something which urban seems woefully short on getting these days...

You know when you are hanging out with someone and you and others think they are acting like a total dickhead, do you need a wallchart to check things off against before you tell them to wise up or simply don't hang out with them again?

And if you don't then aren't you and your friends just authoritarian arbitrary fascists imposing your subjectivity on others?

grow up you clown.

its very clear what is being said here. You cant justify your comments so are trying to obfuscate wildly. You can justify racism and sexism, but not your own comments!

Now, point out where anyone here has called for censorship.
 
frankie boyle is just an arsehole, he's funny except when he crosses the line he hovers over all the time but even then sustained nastiness no matter how funny just gets wearying. Cook, the eton boy, at least brought a sense of absurdity and so on to the table. And I'm astonished that you can publish a book that is 90% material you've already aired on the tele. It's theivery. Also his joke about the cost of thatchers funeral being enough to buy everyone in scotland a shovel to dig a hole deep and hand her over to satan personally did make me weep with laughter when I heard it but you'd hope the man could pull more out of the bag. Instead he seems to be going lower and lower in an attempt to maintain an image of slick-witted arsehole. There are better ways to do comedy. Absurdity, misdirection, double meanings- even the old innuendo! I enjoy how scathing his delivery can be but the content needs to sharpen up and stop making cheap shots at easy targets.

petty irrelevant point of no significance; but it's the only one you've got isn't it other than admitting that you and you're bestie have gotten rather irate about a joke making you look like the po faced fools you are...

Provide the criteria which we can judge the humour and then we can discuss whether that is acceptable a form to have jokes based around or not... otherwise starting a call out thread about a comics jokes you don't get or like is a cry for censorship: Look at this outrage... this is unbelievable... down with this sort of thing...

etc...

yes starting a thread criticising something equals calling for it's censorship.

are you looking to have po facedness banned because you criticise it?

Go on then, I'll ask: how is starting a thread with a comedians name in it a 'cry for censorship'? I can feel the answer is close - we don't know what it is yet, but the revelation will come!
