Describing Boris as 'not just the worst person for the job - he's the worst mammal' is how I am going to think of Boris Johnson.

[@gordondean2165]

As a mammal I take deep exception to including boris in our ranks. Pond scum would be much more worthy of the place he is taking up.

Im Russian, and Frankie is a real comedian, although i dont get the real meaning of all the jokes coz i dont live in Scotland, but hes definetely clever and has sence of humor and his own opinion!

[@barleyarrish]

@@user-jm3nm5hp6v Jokes can be either funny or meaningless, it all depends on the disposition of the teller and/or the listener. A great comedian is someone who crosses sociological and political boundary's. A poor comedian appeals only to the target audience which is how Frankie operates. Try the talent of the late Jethro, a true comic genius.

The last joke, about the flight. I've been on a flight from Aberdeen to Lerwick when the pilot said over the intercom "Weathers a bit too bad, but we're the guinea pig flight." Just to make it a bit more mental, the pilot was Ewan McGregor's brother.

Frankie boyle the best stand up comedian in the world for quite some time now. His material, content and punchlines funnier than any other stand up. However recently his stuff has become unnecessarily dark and edgy. Still the best stand up when he wants to be.

[@edtf7837]

Or his outlook has gotten darker, which can be understood in the context of world events.

[@kawaiilotus]

Edgy? He's like Bansky now, part of the establishments furniture.

[@reganator5000]

@@kawaiilotus everyone who tries to be edgy and doesn't literally cause a revolution becomes that for any competent government. Which is the issue of competent rulers- they let people who rip on them but don't get popular support for an actual uprising continue to exist. As opposed to moronic dictators, who'll ban any word against them, because god forbid someone realise they have a poor taste in shoes

I don't know if you've been paying attention, but things ain't great. I know people always love to say that, but the people doing the saying don't usually have the evidence and credibility of, say, the IPCC.

[@michaelccozens]

Well, that's a big part of the whole "panel show" deal; we get light entertainment, the networks get relatively-cheap and popular programming, and the comics get to trial-run and refine new material in a lower-stakes setting. Win-win-win.

Frankie is a great loss to shows like Mock The Week because of his “questionable views” 😂😂😂😂😂😱

[@reganator5000]

if you wathc his new world order shows, they're great, though i don't think it makes up for him being allowed to shock more mainstream comedians with his statements (though for mock the week i suspect it was that they needed to recruit less funny people when the cast started to leave- given Frankie was one of the originals with Dara and Hugh Dennis, i doubt they or the original production team cared)

[@peterclarke7240]

Fun fact: Frankie left of his own volition because he was tired of the mtw format. He's much better at long-term humour, and he knows it. Plus he was sick of dickhead bigots thinking he was "One of them."
