Remember when you lot liked Frankie Boyle? Remember when you watched Mock The Week and thought it was ‘alright’? Remember when you realised how awful it was? Remember when Boyle turned into a poor man’s Jerry Sadowitz/post-modern Roy Chubby Brown?
Of course you do. You’re still supremely sore about it. You’re irked and wounded because someone you once liked has gone so very, very shit.
And worse still, you’re irritated because Boyle is so very good at winding you up. That’s exactly what he’s doing right now, by wishing a raping on comedians Josie Long and Richard Herring. God, he’s a twitter outrage dream isn’t he?

At the hecklerspray bedsit, we’d like to think that after pressing F5 on our Google news feed, we can quickly bring you a breaking news story with a couple of ropey jokes lobbed in. When key issues break, modern technology allows us to now gain an insight in to how famous folk feel about protests, deaths or scandal.
During the arse end of 2010, Frankie Boyle divided opinion with comments broadcast on his show Tramadol Nights. We won’t repost the remarks made due to the unneeded offence involved with the supposed gags, but feedback wasn’t positive for Channel 4.
So how did they brush off the criticism? Easy, simply label Frankie Boyle as “edgy and dark” and reminding people of material on former stand up shows and appearances on Mock The Week. Love him or loathe him, Boyle will remain on the circuit for years to come. At the time of the incident, comedy peers threw in their opinion and several years after the event, Paul O’Grady has offered his.

Since Frankie Boyle left the BBC, he’s been sulking. He’s decided that the BBC squashed his right to free speech and, of course, freedom of speech essentially means making the most offensive jokes you can think of. A bit like a teenager chuckling over the word ‘rape’.
This has left Boyle in the unique position of being a Post Modern Jim Davidson. He doesn’t mean it maaaaan, it’s all in the name of his art, okay? His show, Tramadol Nights, has seen Muslim women being hung, jokes about mental illnesses and one that has got him in hot water with Katie Price.
Boyle made a joke about Price’s disabled son and now Ofcom will be going after him, probably leaving Boyle to see himself as some lone gunman in the West, staunchly defending something on behalf of comedy itself. Read More >>>
Dara O’Briain is the host of BBC comedy-news quiz Have I Got News for You Mock the Week, the show that brought the comedy stylings of, (Proclaimers look alike) Frankie Boyle and (Baby P lookalike) Russell Howard into our living rooms. His latest live show has seen him tour the UK and Ireland extensively in an attempt to prove that he’s just as funny as the others.
The night starts off with O’Briain saying there will be no Papal jokes as it’s just too obvious for a comedian to attack a former Nazi who is now the King of the Catholics, a church that seems almost dedicated to out nonce-ing Michael Jackson (although as yet there is no Catholic version of Bubbles, but give it some time).

We caught up with Frankie Boyle – the Scottish one from Mock The Week who recently had a joke about the Queen’s genitals read out on Newsnight – for an impromptu question and answer session…
How did it feel winning the best director Oscar for Slumdog Millionaire?
I’ve met Danny Boyle actually. He has a glowing niceness that extremely successful people have. It’d be nice to get there…
At what temperature does Frankie boil?
I’m pale and Scottish so I’d say around 20 degrees.
Do you believe that chivalry is dead?
Not with me. Particularly with women. I am always rescuing women in distress and Serbian sex traders. The sex is good.
