That was Frankie's mindset !We all exist through pure chance. There is no point to it all. We are born, we exist, we die and are no more.
Have a good weekend everyone.
In his own words he's a recovering alcoholic/druggie so maybe he's just dying for a good drink and some spliffs !I honestly believe he's really pissed off about the way his careers gone. I think he wanted to do more surreal Pythonesque comedy but it didn't work out.
I also think, like a lot of comedians, he has mental health issues.
Having said that, I find him incredibly funny, saw him live and my daughter said she was on the verge of ringing an ambulance I was laughing that much!
Boyle doesn't need to be insulting or nasty as he's a razor sharp comic. But comedy now does seem to be leaning towards being like that ? There's a thin line between being funny and sarcastic and many comics aren't bothered crossing it.Used to like frankie Boyle...thought he was v sharp and not afraid to take on any subject. Then saw him love about 5 or 6 years ago and v disappointed. Rude and offensive without being funny at all. Just want to see him him back to his best

In that case I agree with him. I need to re-grow my ginger beard!That was Frankie's mindset !

I heard about the Downs Syndrome gags etc. Unfunny but he doesn't care obviously. Great comics don't need to be like that. I've seen Ken Dodd live and Billy Connelly and both were brilliant !Absolutely agree. He was sharp and iconoclastic. Took on all subjects and institutions and through his comedy often took apart their veneer. He wasn't afraid to take on subjects like the royal family but what he said was funny as well as irreverent.
But when I saw him live he mainly harangued vulnerable people including people with Downs Syndrome...just telling the audience how stupid they were etc...I was waiting for the comedy about disadvantaged groups but it never came.

I dislike Chubby Brown just don't find him funny. Heard he can dish it out but can't take it back. He got heckled in Blackpool by some lads on a stag do but he turned nasty and walked off.They said they were just joining in with the crowd as they thought he liked to be called a fat bastard etc. Obviously not as he never came back on !Can't get on with him myself-shock tactics and swearing, a bit of a poor mans Bernard Manning. Peter Kay for me is the master-doesn't have to resort to it for the laughs. Might be an 80's thing/generation thing with him though.
thought you normally spent your drunken hours singing about Russell Slade?!Life is weird. Recently I've been thinking a lot about how fucked up it is that we are all going to die. I mean, what is our purpose? Surely it is ignorant to think we are the only life form in the universe. It's scary, but then you think, to live, experience love, help others - it feels amazing.
I guess when you think about dying and its inevitability it's either really scary, or really liberating.
My attitude towards that last point usually depends on how much to drink I've had!

My exact experience of him as well.Used to like frankie Boyle...thought he was v sharp and not afraid to take on any subject. Then saw him live about 5 or 6 years ago and v disappointed. Rude and offensive without being funny at all. Just want to see him him back to his best

Peter Kay is good, and classic wmc wit. Boyle is as dry as can be, which is my sort of thing. I love Connolly also as he bases his observations on a tough insight into the world - Boyle is similar in many ways. His stuff on the 2015 election and the US election is great.
Take the point on the abuse - he is better than that
By the way, Manning was a fat bully and a nasty, racist c**t. I cheered when he died.
I used to drink in the Walsgrave Club years ago but missed Manning's concert. I was in there one night and Ken Dodd was on and thought I'd go in and see if he was any good ? He was brilliant and the concert room was rocking with laughter.I didn't think I'd find him funny to be honest as he was "old school" comedy,but he just was on top form without one swear word or insulting anybody,as their were kids in there. Manning and Chubby Brown never appealed to me but many do like that style of comedy I guess.Remember going to see Manning up at the Walsgrave Working Men's years ago which was towards the end of his career and he literally shuffled on and off stage. His set was just tired, racist, sexist bilge with the only funny moments being when he absolutely destroyed a lad at the front who heckled him to show that outside of his 'practiced' set he did still have a bit of a sharp brain and the other bit was when all the bouncers from the Devon turned up and one of them, Tony Blackstock, turned to my mate and said 'I didn't know you were a racist?'. My mate is a bit of a lump himself but I have never seen a man squirm so much in my life!!!
This sums up my holidays abroad with said hangover. Have a lovely weekend chaps!wakes up often and thinks not all of this again.
Boyle is a piece of filth. A quick google reveals a long history of shameful attacks on the weak and vulnerable, including disabled children. He’s also been accused of being a hypocrite and tax dodger.
It’s hardly surprising if he sounds depressed. If you spend your life finding fault, criticising everything and everyone, moaning about your lot in life, negativity will become part of your persona.
Life’s great, especially in this great country where the opportunities are endless. Positivity and optimism lead to ambition and success. Anything’s possible if you believe it. Life is great.
did you do the quick google just to get yourself wound up?
I bet your one of those people who watches a programme which has aired a warning about bad language or violence and then rings up the broadcaster to complain about it.
I usually do.You'd lose your money. :kiss:
Clint, I don't drink with @Earlsdon_Skyblue1 often, but on the rare occasion I encounter him in the city arms beer garden, he's either mid-Slade chant or trying to get one going!
He must be his biggest fan!

Again, it isn't me. It is you!
Plus at least I didn't buy a Gola cap and start wearing it in honour at the games when Slade was here.
Peter Kay is the most overrated comedian in Britain. Then again, this is a country where people laugh at Michael McIntyre and that woollyback twat who pretends to be a scouser.Can't get on with him myself-shock tactics and swearing, a bit of a poor mans Bernard Manning. Peter Kay for me is the master-doesn't have to resort to it for the laughs. Might be an 80's thing/generation thing with him though.
