Frankie Boyle - business as usual (Rebecca Adlington)
- Thread starter Wilf
- Start date
Quite frankly, Stewart Lee offends me with his patronising, smug, tediously unfunny shit. Who the fuck laughs at this rubbish ?
On the whole I like Boyle, but just like most comics he doesn't get it right all the time. The dolphin joke wasn't particularly funny imo, but nor was it really that offensive, bit of a fuss over nothing. The other joke from him towards Adlington in that article seems like a pretty nasty personal attack, and for me crosses the line.
Sadowitz does offensive humour a million times better.

Yeah but it's ok to treat people like shit when you think you're right.

Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?
I was taking the piss. Orwell had a great line about the problem of communism (which applies to all dogma) once people think they have the perfect system or idea they become a bully.

Really? What was his, in the loosest sense of the word, reasoning?
GarfieldLeChat
fucking awesome but wrong
Still the same reasoning. Philistine is the word meaning Palestinian in Arabic for us to use it to mean uncultured is institutionalised racism. But butchers disagrees. Doesn't change the fact it's origins in its use are borne from racism so long as enough time has passed was the general consensus from urban and specifically from butchers and other so called right on head bangers.
Basically their argument was its fine amongst the white folks just don't let the natives hear you. For which I was ridiculed that's fine it shows the real colour of their politics. He's been baiting me ever since cos it exposed him, and lord knows butchers doesn't like been shown up that will never do...
But it's still racist, as are the people who use it regardless of their reasoning or the amount of time that has passed.
Fairly sound logic really. Surprised butchers would bring it up to out himself as supporting the normalisation of racism but hey. He did and still does...

FYI there's no group which currently would call themselves a barbarian today. So there's no direct relation to it. Palestinians call themselves and always have done philistines. But we digress. It was a flack move by butchers to derail the thread from Urbans groupthink idea of humour...

I've done a very cursory google and it looks like Garf is wrong about Philistine.

I thought it was part of Syria.
Or is it Canaan?
Or is it Canaan?
I used to think that, thought he was hilarious on MTW
We saw him live, he was soooooooooooooo shit, totally relied on trying to shock everyone, it was so fucking transparant.
Since experiencing him live I pretty much agree with this....

I thought it was next to modern day Jordan. But... it was a failed funny (young master Boyle's 'laughs' at Katy Price's son). Perhaps Garf's right - I don't understand comedy.

Yup saw him at the Hammersmith Apollo a couple years back.
And you still like him?

Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?
Yeah although he can't really carry a live show as well as Michael Mcyntire but he's good in short bursts.

I've only ever caught Boyle on MTW. Now that is a shit, fistbitingly unfunny show. Even funny comics are shit on it. Watching it once, me and a flatmate tried to repeat his BIL's game from when Russ Abbot was on the telly: if you laughed you got a dead arm. We got bored and turned over before any arm punching was necessary.
ooohh Frankie Boyle! ooooooh! I'd better post on Urban about this!

But....but cLoWnFiSh....
Not exactly philistine but the same word historically, pronounced more like falasteen.

I had a look last night too, cos It was new to me too. Found this: http://en.bab.la/dictionary/english-arabic/palestinian
Twas quite interesting seeing the old geography too which included Gaza. I know SFA about the subject, but I wouldn't be too quick to dismiss it out of hand (not that you were) ... Just sayin.
nah, you're thinking of Frankie Howard mate
