Frankie Boyle in Racism Row [Archive] - ThisisBigBrother.com

Frankie Boyle is at the centre of another storm after using the words ‘n igger’ and ‘P aki’ in his Channel 4 show this week.
Although the words were intended to highlight racist attitudes, their use has heaped pressure on the broadcaster following his joke about Katie Price's disabled son.

Tory MP John Whittingdale, chairman of the all-party Culture Media and Sport Committee in the Commons, said Channel 4 should consider sacking the comic over the words.
But they stood by him, saying the intent was satirical.

In his stand-up routine, Boyle discussed how news reports always considered British lives more valued than foreign ones.
He said: ‘What gets me is our callousness as a society when we read out our dead on the news first, because our lives are more important. Other people’s aren’t worth as much.’

He then mimicked a newsreader to add: ‘A bomb went off in Kandahar today, killing two British servicemen, three UN relief workers and a whole bunch of P akis.’

Later he said: ‘The Ministry of Defence? At least in the old days we were honest, it was The Ministry of War.’ He then adopted the tone of a receptionist to say: ‘Hello Ministry of War, department of n igger-bombing, how can I help?’

The episode of Tramadol Nights also included a sketch in which a woman dressed like a sexy Super Mario danced provocatively before waving to the camera and saying: ‘Hello to P akis everywhere.’

Afterwards, Boyle in character as an academic said: ‘That was very probably wrong.’

Whittingdale said: ‘The words n igger and P aki are deeply offensive to a large number of people. I don't think even in comedy it is justified.'

‘Frankie Boyle is becoming a serial offender. I really think Channel 4 will have to think whether it's appropriate to screen programmes which are regularly causing offence to a lot (one) of people. It might be a breach of the Broadcasting Code. Ofcom will have to determine that.’

A spokesman for campaign group Show Racism The Red Card said: ‘Regardless of context and intention, the use of words such as these has the effect of normalising racist language.’

And Mohammed Shafiq, chief executive of the Ramadhan Foundation called it ‘abhorrent,’ adding: ‘People at home watching that will think that this sort of language terminology is acceptable in the 21st Century.’ I do look to Boyle as my moral compass.

But a Channel 4 spokesman said: ‘We strongly refute any suggestion we are endorsing or condoning racist language by our broadcast of Frankie Boyle's Tramadol Nights.

‘This cutting-edge comedy is clearly intended to ridicule and satirise the use of these words - Frankie Boyle was not endorsing them. Channel 4 would not have broadcast these words had they been used in a racist way. All the jokes highlight the unacceptable nature of this language.’

Regulators Ofcom are set to investigate Boyle’s joke against Katie Price’s eight-year-old son, broadcast earlier in the series.

Why would he want to attract people with a 'classy sense of humour' - whatever that is - through lewd jokes? Of which his entire Tramadol Nights catastrophe seems to soley rely on?

I hate the show. I think he is the comedic equivalent of Marilyn Manson. A tired old parody of his former self trying too hard to shock and awe. The show relies entirely on recycled stand up material and skits so lazy that it's amazing to think they came from the pen of a man who is pretty intelligent.

BUT I am not stupid enough to want to censor and take off telly everything I don't like you hysterical, one sided, sheltered old nitwit.

Unless I missed his CBeebies slot I'm pretty sure he was always trying to be controversial. The difference is there was a place for that in Mock The Week where we got small doses of him at a time with form and structure. When unleashed into his own TV show however it's crash and burn.

The controversy and sick jokes would be fine if they had a point and led to an overall conclusion or message but they don't.

The words 'n****r' and 'p**i' both featured during Tuesday's programme, in which he has already provoked outrage by insulting cancer victims, Aids sufferers and obese people.

L'Oreal and Nestle are pulling out after the comic's obscene jokes sparked an angry backlash from viewers, politicians and charities.

Beauty company L'Oreal are taking down their adverts from the 4 on Demand website where Boyle's show is available, the Daily Mirror revealed.

Nestle, which promotes its Nespresso coffee machine on the site, also said they will not renew their advertising contract.

During the near-the-knuckle show he referred to a bomb wiping out “a whole bunch of P****”.

The 38-year-old quipped about the 'Ministry of War' having a 'department of n*****-bombing' in one of his most offensive outbursts.

He is now 9/4 to be sacked after bookmakers slashed odds from 5/1 - and he is 8/13 to issue an apology.

The Royal London Society for Blind People last night called on the EHRC, which can intervene when a public body may have breached the Disability Discrimination Act, to act over jibes about Katie Price’s disabled son Harvey.

In a letter seen by the Mirror, its chief executive Dr Tom Pey tells the EHRC: “It is of course legitimate to parody someone in the public eye... but it is quite another thing to mock a blind, autistic child, who is not in a position to fight back.”

Last night Dr Pey added: “I’m surprised at Channel 4 for allowing this to be aired. I’m even more surprised that they would turn around and try and defend it in the interests of free speech.”

South Park has 2 main disabled characters (Timmy and Jimmy) that they regularly mock (but they are really mocking stereotypes of disabled people, not disabled people in general). The Dave Chappelle Show has done plenty of skits that are much more racially controversial Frankie Boyle's show, including a skit in which a blind black man (he doesn't know he's black cause no one's told him, and no one knows he's black cause he's wearing a hood) is the leader of the KKK calling for a genocide. Plenty of "N" words.

Also Howard Stern comes to mind. He uses the "N" word often. But whenever he uses it, he's using it to mock RACIST people, which is exactly what Frankie Boyle was doing.

The key to this type of comedy, is that they use the offense to mock the REAL racists, and to point out the ABSURDITY of it. The joke is on the BIGOTS, not on the victims of bigotry.

Mocking Ignorance is funny.

I've seen all the shows, and i don't believe for 1 second that Frankie Boyle is some sort of hateful bigot with an agenda. In fact i believe the exact opposite is true. He's a very tolerant man with absolutely no political agenda. His only agenda is ridiculing the absurd.

It was Katie Price that chose to make her child a public figure.

If we are gonna have a serious debate about the rights of disabled people, then I'd argue it's Katie Price that should be criticized for making this child a public figure considering he's a child and is not capable of making legal decisions for himself, where is the government in protecting him from being exposed by Ms. Price to begin with?

Public figures are open to public discourse. The real question is why is it okay for Ms. Price to have exposed this child to public scrutiny to begin with?

And yesterday it emerged the show’s average audience figures were down to around 880,000 by December 14. Bosses fear even more will switch off when the last episode of the six-part series is screened tomorrow.

Frankie Boyle's Tramadol Nights, Channel 4, 10.30pm – It was not Channel 4's most popular show of the year, but it is likely to be the most controversial.

The stand-up comic's six-part series ended with 600,000 viewers, a 3% share of the audience, with another 100,000 on Channel 4+1, half the 1.3 million who watched its debut on 30 November.

It trailed in last of the five main channels, beaten by Channel 5's Most Shocking Celebrity Moments 2010, which averaged 1.5 million viewers, a 7.5% share, between 9pm and midnight, and BBC2's QI XL Christmas Special, which had 1.7 million viewers, a 9.7% share, between 10.30pm and 11.15pm, with another 28,000 on BBC HD.

During a routine on Wednesday’s final episode, Boyle said: “The Commonwealth Games were originally called The Empire Games, it basically started out as a huge slave race.”

Adopting a posh voice he added: “William, I think my n*****s are quicker than yours.”

Oh dear ..... :shocked:

..... and he was factually wrong, too - not many "enslaved" countries here :

There were 11 teams participating in these first British Empire Games:

* Australia
* Bermuda
* British Guiana
* Canada
* England
* Ireland
* Newfoundland
* New Zealand
* Scotland
* South Africa
* Wales

The Games were held in Hamilton, in the province of Ontario in Canada from August 16–23, 1930.

The events included athletics, boxing, lawn bowls, rowing, swimming, and wrestling.

The last show in his controversial series Tramadol Nights, which went out on Wednesday, featured crude gags about Elisabeth Fritzl, 44, who was raped by her father Josef, 75.

He also made a sick jibe at Amy Winehouse, 27, saying: “I reckon Aids is worried about catching her.”

:eek:

I would rejoice at this evil man losing his job over his vulgar humour which someone like you, likes.

I am not full of "****" as you put which shows you are clearly not intelligent enough to use proper vocabulary. I wager you learned that off EVIL FAKE BOYLE himself.

I am a piece of work BTW. Thanks.
However, I have no idea who you are. :)

I have opinions unlike you who is obsessed with vulgar comedians.
Didn't I already say I hated the show? And how does using vulgar language somehow render my opinions useless?

*sigh*

Jack's right. Your too stupid to be real.

That’s rich coming for you and Jack the frosty "b****".

It is like talking to 5 year olds with you two, get your priorities sorted instead of attacking me with my opinions on this EVIL VILE PIG.

As for JACK! Why the rubbish "Destination unknown avatar".
Plus, me a troll? LOOK AT YOUR AWARD FOR MOST ARGUMENTATIVE.

Obviously people think less of you than me :)

Case closed.

Frankie Boyle is refusing to attend the British Comedy Awards after being told he will not be a presenter as expected.

Boyle has been in the headlines recently for his controversial Tramadol Nights show in which he made jokes about Katie Price’s son Harvey and used racist words.

Rumour was that Boyle would be presenting this year’s Comedy Awards as he did in 2009 when the show was aired on ITV. This year the ceremony will be screened on Channel 4.

However, yesterday Channel 4 – which also hosts Boyle’s Tramadol Nights – said that the comedian would not have any presenting duties at this year’s Comedy Awards.

To add insult to injury, Boyle has also not been nominated for any gongs.

As a result, Boyle is snubbing the ceremony altogether.

More like "conspiritorial insinuation" ..... ;)

I would say it was you making insinuations, I simply asked a question, if it is a little too uncomfortable for you to answer, perhaps you should review and adjust your priorities in life.

No. I'm not .....

You said to me :

Jesus you dont half read some rubbish.

You then attempted to categorise me :

Do you have two windows of your browser on google set on auto refresh, one for Frankie Boyle the other for Katie Price? Or are you signed up to loads of newsgroups?

You are now attempting to belittle me :

If it is a little too uncomfortable for you to answer, perhaps you should review and adjust your priorities in life.

All I have to say to people who are constantly complaining about FB if you don't like him or his jokes just turn the ****ing channel and watch Michael McIntyre instead it's as simple as that! No one is forcing anyone to watch him,Why do they have to ruin it for others who do like this kind stuff? just because you have a different sense of humour...

Channel 4 is a British public-service television broadcaster which began working on 2 November 1982. Although largely commercially self-funded, it is ultimately publicly owned, so I think that gives the viewers a right to comment on what the channel broadcasts and complain if they don't like it .....
