Fucking ridiculous. C4 have always justified showing controversial comedy in the past (and some stuff much worse than this imo). What happened to "needing to be at the cutting edge of comedy" which is how they defended broadcasting Frankie Boyle's routine about Katie Price's son? They wouldn't do this if they weren't showing the paralympics, the fucking hypocrites.

One extremely unfunny "comedian". As has been said, he relies on shock value for laughs, rather than actual humour. Making jokes about people with disabilities; hi-bloody-larious.

I don't think he's that funny but they can't justify this. They took him on solely because he's near the knuckle. The stuff about Harvey Price was far, far worse.

Funny as fuck, it was a show called the Boyle variety performance.
"John Terry has the face of a rapist, i am not saying he has raped anybody but if he does i will win £200... from a stake of £190".
"England went out of the euro's but i would of preferred them to go out on penalties, with John Terry smashing is pen wide and hitting a black child in the face"
Just checked they have not taken it down on 4OD

People who don't find him funny, ironically, are part of the reason so many do, because someone who doesn't believe what he's saying, can offend them enough to complain or be outraged and indignant. They're the people who are the butt of his jokes. The other reason people like him is because he's so fucking quick. Most comedians might spend a year or even two perfecting the same stand-up routine, which will be funny, and then film it. Frankie Boyle can do it off the cuff so he can post them every minute on Twitter or put down a heckler with absurd ease. I think Frankie Boyle is just about the only stand-up at the moment who could survive Whose Line is it Anyway. Possibly Jimmy Carr as well.
