it's not down to frankie boyle's comedy routine why people commit suicide, if they cant take a joke how ever offensive and have to top themselfs because of what someone said, then it's their own fault, they wont get no sympathy from me, i have my own problems to worry about, but wouldn't resort to suicide. everything he says you'll find them words in the oxford english dictionary, because that's all they are words, they cant do you no harm.

The Greek poet Euripides, who died about 406 B.C., said, "Η γλώσσα είναι ισχυρότερη από τη λεπίδα.", ie. "The tongue is mightier than the blade."

I find him funny, as do a lot of other people evidently seeing as he's one of the most popular comedians atm, sure a lot of his humour's offensive but it's easy enough to avoid it

He's definitely not a racist either

[Me. I Am Salman]

His tweets are ****ing hilarious (he had a conversation with Azealia Banks the other day it was a bit random) and I miss him on Mock The Week. Tramadol Nights was funny too.
Oh and he isn't racist

I disagree I find him 100% unfunny , I think most of his so called comedy is predictable attention seeking sick drivel....but heyho we all have opinions thats mine, thats yours , no problem.

Comedy is like fashion, the old comedians telling their mother in law jokes and Irish gags have been reborn for the modern audience...

Racists

...the older comedians didn't just tell mother in law jokes though....Blackadder mocked dark periods in history...a lot of people were outraged at Monty Python...they dared to mock the Catholic Church with their Life of Brian...as if the Catholic faith wasn't humourous enough already....

I meant older than the alternative comedians, boyle is worse in line with the old working mens club comics that targetted anyone in the audience who is different.
I don't buy his claim it was satirical, Sasha Baron Cohens trip to the deep south singing 'throw the jew down the well' THAT was satire.

[Ammi]

..I remember 'The Comedians'..I don't think anything was ever out of bounds to those guys...they just weren't very funny either....

...my dad liked Frank Carson though...

mocking the afflicted is not funny...
Or are we all of the mind tax evasion is immoral but laughing at jordans kids is fine?
Theres near the knuckle and theres slamming your hand in a car door...

[Mystic Mock]

It's just a joke so I don't get the problem, funny or not he should not be trialed for this when there's more serious crimes going on.

[Ammi]

...it's nothing new for comedians to create a lightness to any situation..it's part of what comedy is all about..in one way or another it's been done over and over again through the decades.....

...it creates a balance to all the cr*p that constantly goes on in the world....

..some won't find it funny...but then some will..some will find it offensive and some won't.....personally, I don't think it's up to me to be offended on anyone else's behalf, any more than I would expect them to laugh at something I was amused at...everyone can decide for themselves....

..in Frankie Boyle's case, I neither find him funny or offensive...and I certainly don't find him a racist..he's just a fairly average stand up comedian....

...that of course is just my opinion..

I remember sitting two rows from him hin Oxford, I was just praying he'd not see me and leave me alone. The whole ginger thing would have provided him a lot of ammo! Thankfully he picked on the kid in front of me

But yeah anyway, he has a very blunt humour which sometime crosses the line that other comedians would be afraid to cross or infact just be sensible not to cross, but I don't think he's a racist

..you're just not ginger enough for him Marc

Everyone's so 'right-on' and PC now... lighten up. If you don't like him, don't watch him. It's not like you don't know what you're going to get.

for some people comedy starts and ends with a pie in the face!

Luckily there's nothing at all amusing about Jews so we don't get ridiculed much.
