I just finished his tour of Scotland thing....I hate myself for finding him attractive but I do, I always have.

I need a Scottish, overweight ginger curmudgeon in my life asap.

I am considering changing my username to FrankieBoyleSezLoveOneAnother. He is dangerously close to becoming a national treasure.

CommunistLegoBloc · 28/02/2020 23:42

He's not a friend of the gender critical.

FairfaxAikman · 29/02/2020 00:16

He's a raging misogynist (who's currently using wokeness to cover the fact)
Let's not forget that he once joked about a disabled child raping their mother.

Racist, disablist, misogynistic arsehole.

Why the left embrace him I do not know.

ChickLitLover · 29/02/2020 00:26

There’s very few famous people I’d say anything bad about as we don’t know them. Buy anyone that makes jokes about the things he does is vile.
I don’t think someone is funny if you have to shock to be entertaining. Anyone could say disgusting things, it’s not talent. I find anyone like that deeply unattractive.

TheNavigator · 29/02/2020 00:29

Yeah, he's the Jim Davidson school of comedy - turns my stomach.

IdblowJonSnow · 29/02/2020 00:34

He's awful. Cant stand his type of 'humour'.

PickleMyPepper · 29/02/2020 00:39

Absolute vile creature he is.

FoamingAtTheUterus · 29/02/2020 01:41

God no.

Cracks jokes about a disabled child raping his mother amongst other things.

He's vile. And done as a comedian so he's popping up on crappy travel programmes.

FoamingAtTheUterus · 29/02/2020 01:42

VaggieMight I don't believe the woke bollocks one bit. He's just trying out a new persona after fucking his own career up.

vampirethriller · 29/02/2020 07:59

I can't stand him. He's not funny even without the shock stuff.

LucilleBluth · 29/02/2020 08:06

He has said some shocking stuff but I actually think he's quite clever. A couple of dodgy jokes doesn't negate an entire career. He's not done a Louis CK.

I just want to cuddle then shag him.

dam thought it was bad news.\how anyone can find that disablist wanker attractive(or think he is clever) is beyond me.

EthelMayFergus · 29/02/2020 08:39

He's disgusting.

derxa · 29/02/2020 08:42

He's disgusting

ConstanceSalinger · 29/02/2020 08:42

Yup, it pretty much does.

gamerwidow · 29/02/2020 08:42

Good.

His not a misogynist either if you watch his new world order show you can see he goes our if his way to always have more female panelists than men and he just listens to them and gives them space to do their thing.
Actions speak louder than words.

Doyoumind · 29/02/2020 08:47

I think he's clever as in he's probably intelligent but I don't find him attractive or funny. His OTT past jokes have gone way beyond what I find ok.

His latest behaviour, blocking any woman who questions him on Twitter has certainly not done anything to make me feel more positive about him.

ConstanceSalinger · 29/02/2020 08:47

His not a misogynist

Yes he is. Having good advice from PR and production staff to make a TV comeback from the wilderness does not a good person make. Unless you know him personally (in which case I'd just feel sorry for you)

MonsteraDeliciosa · 29/02/2020 08:49

I haven't seen that much of him, but what I have seen suggested that he was reasonably clever and witty. So why he's had to go down the awful path of insulting people and telling jokes about disabled people I don't know.
Remember his disgusting repeated insults on the olympic swimmer Rebecca Adlington? The man is an utter cunt and a bully.

cushioncovers · 29/02/2020 08:52

He's like marmite. I don't know enough about him to make a judgment but I'm enjoying his Scotland program

edgewater · 29/02/2020 08:53

He is a disgusting creature. Absolutely nothing funny in what he does.

Babdoc · 29/02/2020 08:56

I have refused to watch him since his vile so called joke about a special needs person potentially raping his mother.
And on top of his misogynism and disablism you can add racism. He’s made anti English jokes that would have caused outrage if made against any other nationality, or by an Englishman against the Scots.
Being offensive in a childish desire to shock and seek attention is not humour. It’s pathetic.
