I just don't think he's capable of having any empathy with the people who he makes 'fun' of. How would he feel if someone said 'I hope your mum/dad/granny/child dies'?
It was on the BBC
Well, i'm not sure if that specific joke was broadcast or cut but the beeb broadcast the show so the mail might have picked up on that.
Or they had a reporter or contacts from the live gig.
OK, he doesn't like the Royals, but that kind of stuff really isn't necessary. I can see he's going to be totally banned from TV now and just reduced to touring.
I was listening to an interview of Frankie Boyle and Jimmy Carr and it turns out that Boyle isn't interested in touring or being on television at all really. He just kind of wandered into it. He wants to get back to writing for other people.
So he doesn't care who he offends because he doesn't have to.

Good. The sooner he buggers off from our screens the better some of us will find it then. :cool:
I think those jokes are funny. I don't really understand why there's so much fuss over a joke about filling up a body with helium. The other jokes in that article are no worse than ones you'd hear other comedians tell, but because it's Frankie Boyle everyone is outraged anyway.
I saw his dvd, the 'Michael Jackson's Children's Hospital' joke just left me like... "There's something not right with this guy" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RM8EVIbNxk4
I've seen him do that joke live. I couldn't breathe from laughing so hard
The reaction is well over the top. Those who don't like it can suck it, as far as I'm humbly concerned. The way we grant the royal family special protection reminds me of North Korea. How dare he insult our beloved Queen is no different to the hysterical reaction by some in NK if someone were to insult the dear leader. It's absolutely pathetic - royalists need to grow up, or shut up.

How so? My boyfriend lives in South Korea and I'm off out there in April. Do tell us something we don't know.
I'm not into the Royal Family, but imagine if we had you as our personality instead, Wha.
They give entertainment, and you don't, get used to it.
The question that people need to ask themselves is this - if I were to apply Frankie's jokes on Kate Middleton to an ordinary celebrity, would I consider them to be equally offensive and equally objectionable? If the answer is no, then you are an absolute gobshite. Sorry for my bluntness, and to remind anyone who may object to my branding of 'gobshite', I have not directed it at any forum member - rather I have directed it on a theoretical assumption that it might apply to a reader. Seriously, people need to stop with this ludicrous and childish obsession with the Royal Family. They're just ****ing people. Worship them if you like, but don't expect others to treat them differently.

Why would you think that?

Because this was part of a routine which was going to be broadcast on national TV and not just a gig for a few hundred perhaps?
Me too.
The 'Queen's Pussy' joke was funny, wishing her dead is something else altogether.
You should be a comedian.
No.
Everyone can understand the intent, whether we laugh is the subjective.

Except you do have to have some new jokes of your own....
According to this, Boyle's jokes seem to be recycled. So much for 'new' material.
People couldn't watch him on last night's broadcast as the entire routine was removed because of its content. Because of that, the media reported it.
I wouldn't pay £1.50 to see him tbh. :cool:

I don't advertise as a comedian, though.
Aye, Les Dawson could rip that old backward apart.
