For those seeing this for the first time, this interview is now several years old and the full unedited version can be found on youtube. There's a great bit where Frankie compares his content to Jeremy Clarkson saying slurs, and why the BBC would defend Clarkson but not him.

for those having a go at Richard Osman, I think it is best to have someone play devils advocate and actually challenge Frankie Boyle. Makes for a better interview. I fully agree with Frankie Boyle though!

[@intrepidtomato]

I agree. I think it was right to confront him with that point of view. What would have been teh point of the interview otherwise. I also think that Frankie Boyle can be shocking just for the sake of being shocking and relies on pedophilia too much for laughs. I love what he does, I watch all his stuff, i just think it takes more work to craft a good joke sometimes that doesn't dip into all those well worn sources of shock or disgust.

[@bitzibaerlie]

I just wanted to comment the same thing, that Richard Osman played devil's advocate. But he also made some good points. TV should not be a place were literally everything goes, and the nuance of Frankie's Katie Price joke may be lost on the average viewer. Frankie is right in most of what he says, but he dodges some of those questions. Richard and Frankie have always had these discussion. I remember in one of his autopsies, Frankie proposed that Hollywood should be burned to the ground and Richard had the more sensible position.

Personally I am not a lover of his kind of comedy, though I do like to watch him as a panelist or host. However, I think he is right. Stop covering about some celebrity being offended by some joke and start covering about the atrocities commited by the UK Government! That is what the BBC News crew should be doing, but all they seem to do is give out lies and half-truths, and talk about things that are none of my business! If I wanted to find out who got offended, I'll go and look it up.

[@100fozzy]

Fantastic example of two very intelligent people addressing serious issues. How many other ‘comedians’ would or could use the phrase ‘ad hominem’ when talking about popular TV comedy? Frankie is not an outstanding performer by chance or because he dares like some thug to break the boundaries; it’s because - as he tries to explain - his routines and every single ‘joke’ is premeditated, assessed and intelligently conceived prior to its delivery. As he says, it’s not about ‘banter’. His brilliant performances do not come by accident but from intelligent, informed and highly deliberated planning and scripting. In effect, asking him if he ‘regrets’ or would reconsider any of his material is actually a redundant question if you understand the processes that have led to any of his performances. If it is ever ‘off the cuff’ then that cuff is from Saville Row.

[@artemislogic5252]

you cant really be lauding his iltelligence for using the term ad hominem, come on mate, being barely literate is now seen with reverence? what is this, america?

What the hell was this? Frankie's attitude is spot on, it's just comedy, get over it or change the feckin channel. There are vastly more offensive things that (i.e.) politicians are getting up to (and away with) that people really *should* be getting offended by.

[@frankensteinracing3520]

[@paulleoleo]

totally agree.... Working class comedy where guys taking the piss out of each other is a long distant memory... Red Dwarf, Bottom, Blackadder or Only Fools and Horses for me were worth tuning into. Now it feels like a ever number of condescending liberal lecture panel shows or awkward situation comedy on TV at the moment. We don't have to go back to Alf Garnett but the best comedy for me will always be working class people taking the piss out of each other and having a laugh about it.

[@davestar4718]

I'm not sure Blackadder would be classified as working class comedy, considering how many writers and performers in that show were Cambridge Footlights alumni.

@@ahlishaholloway233 I feel the Blackadder character is working class in respect to his representation and I agree that the writers may be Cambridge educated but I feel the essence of what made Blackadder successful was blokes taking the piss out of each other and 'fighting the system' or trying to outsmart it whilst being shat on by the elite. I don't feel you get this now in Comedy where people can just be witty and cruel to each other without it becoming an issue with certain viewers. I feel Blackadder the character is like Delboy, Lister and Richie and Edward in their whit and circumstance. And I feel from my experience that that is working class humour regardless who wrote it.

My feeling about Osmond is that he's not stupid but a die-hard liberal and theoretically positivistic. Frankie talking about the fringe/mainstream as social constructions, for example, and Osmond defending them as self-evident with no evidence or argument doesn't point to him being stupid; it points to him as someone who would vigorously defend the status quo. Likewise, Osmond on New World Order equating liberalism with morality feels like he's just totally disinterested in, if not actively resistant of, exploring these things beyond comforting middle class sensibilities.

[@ReekieReels]

I think Richard is being a little daft with the "I wouldn't have let that joke be broadcast", "I would have apologised for the joke on your behalf" stuff. I mean for one thing apologising on behalf of someone when you know, and they have explicitly said, they take the contrary view, is immoral and disrespectful. Apologise on your own behalf. Secondly, Richard is saying would have prevented these jokes being broadcast; after the fact, after people had decided to take offence. He’s shooting an arrow and painting a bullseye around it.

[@user-pf5xq3lq8i]

Virtue signaling to his establishment masters.

[@Dean_dialectic]

The full interview (where comments are blocked) reveals beyond doubt that Richard Osman is a corporate yes man who has passed throught the filters used to screen dissent, nuance, interest and subtlety out of the tv schedules. This is why he is on literally every TV show going trotting out his poor man's Stephen Fry routine without even a slight flicker of conscience at the daily serving of banality he dishes out on the deeply anti-intellectual Pointless quiz show.

[@strokenumber3]

The interviewer is commiting the cardinal interviewer sin: he uses the interview to make it more about him and not the interviewee.

[@kevinjohnbetts]

I would disagree. This isn't about Frankie Boyle, it's a discussion about taste and comedy. Osman is playing Devil's Advocate to allow Frankie to express his opinion on specific issues. He has his script and Frankie knows what is coming. It's clipped from a longer video which is entitled 'State of the TV Nation'. As Frankie would say, it's all about the context. 😎

Honestly I thought Richard came on very strong here and I don't know why unless it was the nature of the program to form a debate. Seems dumb to debate this though, Boyle's position is completely reasonable and he hardly goes on about being denied opportunity. He knows the deal he makes the choice. Eyes open no regrets. Comedy is reactive, we see and filter through whatever damage we're carrying and bias we work with and try to share how it made us feel gross. We don't make the events.

In regard to the argument that TV is different to a gig because it is beamed into people’s homes instead of people choosing to go to a gig surely we choose to watch TV? We also choose to “just leave to TV on in the background”. If we have to put up with company’s trying to sell us everything under the sun in our living rooms then the odd tasteless joke should be ok.

Richard Osma did not lay a glove on Frankie Boyle. Boyle is essentially saying fuck the status-quo (that is conceptually, not the band) Osman with his emotional 'tromelfuer' and Boyle dancing out of the way and then he would give Osman a little jab to remind him whose boss in that interview.

It should've been left at public reception and limited personal interjection. Also be didn't actually responded to anything Frankie said, even though he was obviously walking a fine line between devil's advocate and personal opinions. He asked Frankie valid questions, but switched tact each time Frankie explained his stance.
