Frankie Boyle - business as usual (Rebecca Adlington)

Boyle was accused of being racist by some tory MP when he did that Tramadol Nights show. He used the word 'nigger' a few times in a satirical context and was pulled up about it.

Y'know it's the kind of thing you might think to yourself and know your a wrongun. Or even say to your other half and both laugh when your pissed and feel bad after. But to say that out loud, to hurt someone and make other people laugh at them, that's just fuckin wrong. I don't really care about the philosophy of humour tbf.

I only stuck one episode, but the bit that finished me off with him was the way he treated a member of the audience. Started off in pretty standard picking a victim mode.. who are you big feller, what job do you do. Some genric, but beyond our mythical line, abuse followed along him being a boring cunt if I remember it right (he worked in admin for social services). Turned over at that point and when I cam back to it he'd moved on to telling the audience the bloke must have been fucked by his father. I just felt for the bloke who was trapped in the headlights - but also it was desparate stuff from Boyle.

You should hear the shit my other half comes out with :eek: He once told me, why'd you put a baby in the blender feet first?

So you can cum on it's face.

I guess for me, being kind is more important than being funny.

I just posted that joke a few pages ago.

I find it hilarious in a horrific way.
 
I first heard that joke when I was at school.

Along with, "Where do maggots go on their holidawitys? Bobby Sands." - that is how old it is.

Even then I thought it was a shit attempt to be shocking rather than funny. There is no wit in the joke.

Guess some people simply grow up and others don't.

Edit: fucking touchscreen with wet fingers assd
 
change your fucking avatar Garfield, it's like the cover of some shitty direct action fanzine from 1998.

Bobby Sands one has a degree of wit to it, yeah - but the baby one's just shite.

What's the hardest part about fucking a baby? Putting the nappy back on.

Ho. Ho. Ho.

Just not my sense of humour.
 
If you sit down and think of a joke with the intent of it to be shocking or offensive it never really is. For it to work there has to be a spontaneity and a degree of intelligence to the joke. The baby jokes, like Boyle fail at this IMO.

nah but if you were at a party and some girl just bust it out of nowhere, you'd laugh in horror, or in my case ask her hand in marriage.

It is paint by numbers offensive humour though.

Take one thing that society deems precious: 1 babys
Take one thing that society deems brutal: Baby killed a blender
Take one thing that society deems abhorrent: Noncing

There's ya joke. Using that formula you could turn out loads.

Doug Stanhope does it better, and so does George Carlin. There's some creativity going on there, where as those baby jokes are just 1980s school yard jokes.

I wasn't really thinking of a proper comedian delivering it as material, more just someone saying it as an opening at a party.
 
It's 'humour' at the same level as my four year old pulling his pants down and waving his arse at his sister. 'Oooh that's shocking! Oh how marvellously entertaining and funny and dangerous and exciting and funny!'

When you're four.
