Frankie's in trouble again..

He was funny on mock the week, but the shock factor comedy just gets boring after a time.

He's like the kid at school that had to say the most insulting and outrageous thing to get a response, usually incredibly stupid at the same time.

Jordan is a complete moron mind, so no sympathy there.
 
I think Frankie Boyle is more than just shock-jokes. I understand if you watch clip after clip of him, you begin to see his method in a rather primitive way but he's still very funny in how he delivers the lines for a lot of people.

As for the joke. It was that, a joke. Some people laughed, some didn't and some other big self-righteous pussies made groans. ;)
 
I like frankie boyle, but ill admit the joke was over the line. However, i cant stand jordan or katie or whatever name she go's by, shell be glad of this anyway as she's that desperate for publicity, even something like this.

The lowest form of 'comedy'. Say something shocking but unfunny and make your career from the resulting press stories.

I agree that this is a little insensitive. Comedy tends to be most funny when topical and offensive to a group or individual.
Probably why Frankie was at his best in Mock The Week - though I still lol when watching old repeats on Dave :)
 
I don't know what the Rebecca joke was, but she does look like she suffers from a syndrome and saying so is mean but you know, people can be mean.

But publically on tv suggesting her autistic son might be essentially raping her is WAY over the line. Suggesting that disabled/autistic children are dangerous is just a horrible thing to suggest and its not funny, its not mean, its incorrect and just malicious.

AS for saying Jordan is vile, I think thats a bit far aswell, murderers, rapists, they are vile. She's made a career getting her boobs out and being in the public eye, she doesn't actually do anything criminal, or wrong, or nasty to people does she?

TO me she's boring, seems daft(though has made a mint off being daft), is chavy, irritating and not a likeable person, but none of that makes me think she's a "bad" person.

Now making jokes of blind autistic kids, that is pretty vile.
 
I thiink a big part of why Frankie worked on Mock The Week is that himself and the other panelists playfully played up his reputation as the villain' with his comedy, and he could use that (I still laugh at the Dave repeats as well). Everyone likes a Villain. Look at Simon Cowell.

Insulting Jokes about disabled kids/serious conditions does go a bit far though, there's a difference between seeing the funny side of something in a non-offensive way (e.g. Michael McIntyres joke about Tourettes), and making it insulting, and he does more of the latter imo. It's not the first time he's done it from what i've read.

That show sucked, most of the sketches were not even remotely clever or amusing to me. Boyle is a one trick pony, and the sooner that you realise he just sets out to offend and be controversial the sooner you realise his 'jokes' aren't funny. I'm pretty tired of him tbh. Cheap shots.
 
If there was no truth to it she would just shrug it off and ignore him. Anyone who has caught just a glimps of her and Harvey together will see that something aint right when he starts mauling and motor-boating her boobs... Think she's just paranoid that someones noticed.

Yes I do think Frankie can go to far, but there just jokes and meant as nothing else.
