Anyone who thinks that Frankie 'won' by being outright rude x2 should just leave, to be honest. Such a vile man.

I like Frankie; I thought he was hilarious on MTW especially when he was on that but I don't get why replying to him makes James arrogant.”

He didn't just reply though, he entered into banter with someone who's stock in trade is having an acid tongue and quick wit

Thinking he was 'up to it' might be percieved as a bit arrogant

Thinking he was arrogant might be perceived as being biased or outrageously dumb. If someone bigger than you is trying to bully you and push you around if you push them back it's called defending yourself..not being arrogant.

Punch lines are for knock knock jokes.

You're not coming across very bright, but somebody who mocks or insults in a sick way is attacking..somebody and it is not just a 'joke' funny or not.

If your daughter got cancer, and he made a joke about it..some might find it funny..but whether you would is another matter. attacking a guys appearance, when he's already said he was a bit insecure about his look..is obviously not 'funny' to him.

didnt James reply with something along the lines of
"your about as funny as aids"
that was what i read.

I dont think he should go down to FB's level, hes a man thats just best ignored if you dont like what he does.

It's not rude if it's not meant, the subject is not the target of a joke, the listener is.

Nor has anyone who's ever said that. A joke is a deliberate subversion of audience expectation, it does not need to be constructed to include a punchline, a physical joke has no lines at all.

He's not mocking or insulting anyone, the target of his jokes are the audience for shaking their heads moralising while stifling a laugh.

Again no one but his critics is attacking anyone. he's making jokes about them.

Frankie Boyle is boring. When he tells jokes he used to be fairly quick & whitty, now you can see him thinking every joke over to try to make it sound as "shocking" as he can... except it's not shocking anymore, it's boring, everyone knows already whats coming, jokes about disabled, reality tv contestants, etc.. Once the shock factor is expected it's not shocking anymore, so it just becomes sad & a low attempt at trying to muster a round of applause.

Which, like your every other post, was also ironic given you're comments on Frankie.

+1.
Frankie Boyle = intelligent, knowledgable comedian.
James Arthur = cluster bomb of shit pips.

His 1.1m followers suggests his attempts are as quick, witty and as successful as ever.

He goes on about hating negativity, yet he can't wait to reply back negatively on Twitter. Comes across as easy to wind up.

He replied to one person after 5 weeks of baiting and 2 months of troll/insults from numerous people. Not quite sure you're correct, but run with it if you want.
