If i find any programme not to my liking,i dont watch it all the way through then complain.His material is offensive to some,thats human nature.But dont watch it all the way through hoping it will get better,when its obvious it wont.

But on the other hand, nobody should ever complain about a TV program if they HAVEN'T watched it and far too many do just that.

I have never laughed once at anything Billy Connolly has to say, astonishingly unfunny

Shame. But each to their own.

I find he seems to equate shouting with being funny. Mind you he's not alone in that.

I understand Bob, you'd be more of a Buster Keaton man.

I was thinking Hywell Lloyd

Fixed that for you James

I was thinking Harold Lloyd

I thought you were goin to say King Harold

(Hooray for) Harold Lloyd's a genius though...

I preferred Harry Langdon, and Billy Connollys travel progams.
Frankie Boil should be lanced.

 

[forefortheday]

I think he's great.

Some of his material does cause offence but Channel 4 give fair warning and he's known for pushing the boundaries so why be shocked?

It's a bit like reading a sign saying don't go any further or a lion will eat you and complaining when it does.

I find some of Frankie Boyles stuff hilarious, I enjoyed the show last night by-and-large.

However the sketch with the murdered kids wasnt funny in anyway. There has to be a line somewhere and it was crossed with that one.

Thought the sketch with the kids and the little goblin-type thing was pure genius though, laughed so much my red-wine came out through my nose.

I'll admit to being a Frankie Boyle fan. I haven't watched the show yet but am looking forward to it. A great shame that he's packing in the stand up though.

Frankie Boyle is a legend, enough said

 

[doubletripledouble]

He's okay, but no Jerry Sadowitz.

 

[Farneyman]

Seen him in Glasgow live and he was great. Its surprising how many peados he find in the front row...

Not a fan of most of his sketches and he told lots of the jokes on the tv show at his live gig.

Still a very funny guy.

 

[Swinger]

Still early days but not sure he is coming across as good as in mock the week.

Whatever he did was going to be shocking but I guess they had very little idea what giving him his own show would bring.

This is a grate clip though, bit tame by some of the content of the show though.

His joke about Jordan and her son was way over the top. I think that there is a place for comedy that is near the knuckle but this idiot is just trying to become the most controversial comic in Britain and when it blows up in his face he will bleat on about this being a nanny state.

 

[Crazyface]

FB was really funny on MTW so I tuned into his new show expecting much the same. Utter Utter sh1te. I watched about 2 minutes. His language was appalling. I'm no prude but godd grief is there any need for such profanities. If a comedien has to swear that much it means he has nothing funny to say.

Cant have something as potentially libelous as that on here.

 

[Simbo]

he cna be outrageously funny one minute and hideously sick the next, his sketch on tuesday night "the wee hing" was hysterical, but the jokes about jade goody were way beyond the line IMO, simply not funny

 

[drawboy]

In respect of the wee hing thing I have to say that the disappointing thing for me was that the sketch contained children. Now I wouldn't have had a problem if the sketch had involved over 16yr olds but to subject younger children to a script like that was in my view appauling.
if a teacher encouraged kids to talk that way he would be sacked. Sorry Mr Boyle but thats not on.

Being child actors their parents probably have already sold their souls to get them on TV.
