# Dunno, the advert was more than enough to suggest I shouldn't watch it.

# Frankie Boyle used to be funny.
However his 'humour' has now evolved to the point where watching him is such a draining experience that you can't wait for it to be over so you can go and experience something less bleak.

# I disagree.
I was having dinner with some awful, fashionably lefty types the other day.

"I got the new Frankie Boyle video for my birthday" I said.

"Oh god" they said disdainfully, "Poor you. He's awful isn't he?"

"Oh - have you seen it?" I asked.

"No" they replied.

...

I think part of the fun of watching him is the nervousness of the audience with what he's going to say next, whether you yourself is going to find it funny, whether or not you should be allowed to find it funny, and whether or not the people next to you will find it funny, and whether or not that makes them utter, utter bastards.

It's a jolly good DVD, by the way - I thoroughly enjoyed it.

# I've seen his Live DVD myself.
It's all just a bit too much relentless bile for me. He fitted in well on Mock The Week as you had a mix of comedians, some more gentle than others, and you could always expect something scathing from him every few minutes. But without that balancing factor to bring you up a little before you're stamped on again - his act purely seems to be a continuous barrage of 'Oh, that's oh so tasteless and shocking. AGAIN. Which disabled celebrity/ war dead/ terminal illness is he going to make fun of next?'

# The weird thing is that
by saying something shocking, he's just being a performing monkey to people who want to hear him say something shocking, which is actually a very un-challenging act.

I like the line in Stewart Lee's book "If the audience are on your side, you're facing the wrong way".

and the term 'trying too hard' came to mind. Shame.

# It is not
the first time that people who have a natural talent seem to rush into something, anything, to cash in while they are 'hot' and get it terribly wrong. Filthy, Rich and Catflap was pretty dire in an effort to follow the Young Ones, and who can forget the car-crash that was the 'Ulrika Comedy Special'? Only one word in the title was remotely accurate.

# true;
and the fact it was so spectacularly bad I still remember it probably means something, but i know not what.

# I got through the first 10 minutes of one last night - first time I'd watched it.
Rubbish. You're exactly right. His MTW and stand up, however - good stuff, though frighteningly close to Bernard Manning.

# Ah, that gem was from his Mock The Week days.
That went down a storm at the pub. However, someone topped it with a joke that generated a silence of almost two minutes before the first laugh...

# Yes I agree.

# I really think his main fault is
that there's no self-hate in his misanthropy, which makes him look arrogant.

He's far more Clarkson than Hicks.

# He used to have a bit more humility
and a little self-loathing, but it seems to have entirely ebbed away.

I should probably adopt a different identity at some point. Then again I don't take much notice of 'merkins elbowing in on my moniker.
