Frankie Boyle is hilarious. Prove me wrong.
93 Answers
There has been a lot of guff spewed in recent days on the subject of Frankie Boyle and how he is unfunny and racist. I'm not saying that Tramadol Nights was funny, it wasn't great. However, on Mock The Week and in his stand up routines he is hilarious. Also I don't see how using the packing and niggling words a couple of times makes you a racist.
Can anyone show me how he is not funny using an example or two, perhaps a clip from youtube. I think you will find it difficult to find something that is not funny. Yes, I know that humour is subjective but I would still like to see what other people find that proves that Frankie is not funny.

I agree with those who say it's not possible to prove whether someone's funny or not. I think he's totally unfunny...and moreover, totally unlikeable. He has the look about him of the arrogant school kid who uses insults because he thinks it makes him look clever.
I think this is the first time I've bothered to comment on him and it will be the last. The sooner everyone stops talking about him, the sooner he'll hopefully disappear.

he clearly is funny and quite clever but for some reason he just cant pick the subject matter. His obsession with jokes about abusing young children is beyond me and he is ALWAYS making fun of someone. I dont think he is racist, he just tries to shock. Not for me, I prefer it a bit nicer, Tim Vine and Russell Howard are more me friendly.
If his dvd is number seven in the charts it just goes to prove how degenerate and sick this society has become. Obviously, the people who have bought this dvd tend to be of a specific age group, intellectual level, have a distorted view as to what is genuinely funny and largely made up of dissidents and uneducated yobs. Who else has the money to waste on this bilge? After all. it isn't a dvd that you would watch more than once surely? Hence, those who do purchase it must be even more degenerate if they want to eatch it again and again.
Tasteless crap does not begin to describe it. I imagine crap would be delicious by comparison.

I'm clearly a dissident and an uneducated yob then. It's a remarkably well hidden in me though I must say.
Just as people who don't like FB won't convince me he's not funny, then I can't convince anyone else that he is. He was marvellous in Mock the Week, I loved him on Buzzcocks the other night but I don't enjoy Tramadol Nights particularly. I enjoyed his stand up DVD that I brought.
And like Ummmmm, Lee Evans won't even make my lips move... unless I'm tutting possibly.

I always found him funny until Tramadol nights. I watched two I wasn't shocked I wasn't disgusted I was totaly unamused. Case in point, Flobadob what was funny about the peice Katie Prices son, you can be outraged but it just wasn't funny.
Bernard Manning once said if you tell a joke and you don't offend someone your doing it wrong, but he was funny.
I think Frankie Boyle wants to see how far he can push it before he gets banned.
His latest DVD is call something like "If I could reach through your TV screen and strangle you, I would" I for one think he means it.
