For his disablist comments? I would like to anyone who shares my anger to post. His a ridiculous person and a crap comedian. I'm sure I must have missed a thread about him already... But can't find one...

Sorry for typos. He's a ...

What has he said now? Or is this in reference to past comments?

YANBU cause he is a wanker.

JeuxDEnfants · 08/09/2012 21:50

Past comments... Just haven't seen anything on mn and wanted to give him a kicking :)

YANBU even if it's last week's news IYSWIM

Frankie Boyle for example, is a tosser

GreenD · 08/09/2012 21:52

What did he say?

lovebunny · 08/09/2012 21:52

be as angry as you like. its a personal prejudice, i know, by i find his face unappealing and his 'humour' unamusing. and i don't want to hear whatever he might think about me...

notsofrownieface · 08/09/2012 21:56

I used to like Frankie Boyle on mock the week, but I just cant stand him now, Tramadol Nights was shite and what he spouting now is beyond the pale.

2blessed2bstressed · 08/09/2012 21:56

He appeared unannounced at a comedy night that dp and I were at as a "special surprise guest". When he came on stage and we saw who it was, we both stood up and left - without even needing to glance at each other beforehand. I refuse to be in the same room as the waste of oxygen that is Mr Frankie Boyle. Fortunately dp is of the same opinion (reached independently before we ever met), one of the many reasons why I love dp Grin

I think I read than ch4 have said they won't work with him again after his twitter comments, I should imagine BBC feel the same, hopefully he will be relegated to a lifetime on obscure cable channels.

JeuxDEnfants · 08/09/2012 21:59

Sorry. I know it's old news but I have seen anything on here and I'd really like mn to publish how much people hate his humour and what a complete moron he is. Although I'm sure he won't care, he's probably some kind of psychopath.

Frankie Boyle is a wanker and bastard of the highest order.
(couldnt decide whether to use the word wanker or bastard so thought id go for both) oh and hes a cunt too.

BigHairyFlowers · 08/09/2012 22:02

Joining in with a hate him

His painful fall into obscurity cannot come soon enough.

toucancancan · 08/09/2012 22:03

I find him really funny.

MmeLindor · 08/09/2012 22:03

Oh, no. Not complaining that is old news, just wondered if he had made some comments that I had missed.

Am fine to join in a Frankie Boyle is a wanker thread without specific grounds for complaint.

edam · 08/09/2012 22:05

You can tell that he's an alcoholic.

It's a shame, actually, because he's clearly very talented, but uses that talent to pick on people who can't fight back. Pathetic.

lurkedtoolong · 08/09/2012 22:06

I'm fairly indifferent to him. Some stuff I find funny, some I don't. What I can't stand though is people who go to see him, laugh at his mocking of group A, B and C but then get all self-righteous when he mocks their special interest group.

2blessed - you escape my own self-righteous wrath.

apostropheuse · 08/09/2012 22:07

He's vile

JeuxDEnfants · 08/09/2012 22:07

Good for you toucancancan. I hope that doesn't incude his sick jokes about disability. If it does... Then good luck, what goes around, comes around.

unfunny twat. let''s hope that's the back of him.

Mintyy · 08/09/2012 22:08

Honestly, how can you not find anything about Frankie Boyle on mn? Have you tried searching?

BlackTieNTails · 08/09/2012 22:09

wouldnt spend real folding money to see him but he is mildly amusing on twitter

NigellasGuest · 08/09/2012 22:10

edam - just interested - how can you tell he's an alchoholic?

JeuxDEnfants · 08/09/2012 22:11

I have tried searching, but not found anything relevant.

OP posts:
toucancancan · 08/09/2012 22:13

I do follow his twitter and can't remember seeing anything really offensive on there about disabilty. Is that where he made them?

JeuxDEnfants · 08/09/2012 22:13

For those of you who think he's capable of being funny... Do you think he should be given leeway for the discrimatory jokes or have you just not encountered them?
