I like how he occasionally references video games like Tekken and Resident Evil. He knows how to appeal to a wider audience without alienating those who don’t understand the references.
@@KegOfMeat Are you correcting me, cause it not a capital m, or you questioning who he is, he the dark haired man, the one thinking, should i be here or he trying to remember where he last saw his satchel.
Hahaah I’m bisexual af and I’m from Middlesbrough a dude two street across from me actually got his head caved in for wearing makeup two years ago so he ain’t wrong .
I feel like a lot of the people who are mad that Frankie’s gone “woke” are more mad that he’s left-wing than any changes in his actual comedy. He’s always been way too good of a comedian to lower himself to cheap shots at minorities or people with no power the way “offensive comedy” is lauded for these days. His comedy’s always “punched up” at institutions and the powerful, like the Catholic church, the royal family, world leaders, celebrities etc., and his jokes that include people are usually specific to one person, and people like minorities are rarely made the butt of the joke. A good example from this video is his “actually they fucked me” joke about gay people - its not supposed to be making fun of anyone, the humour comes from it being so unexpected. A similar example is his “worst places to grow up gay” joke - it’s making fun of those places, taking shots at their homophobia, not the gay people. Frankie’s a great comedian because he understands the nuances and the difference between “offensive” like shocking and rude, and “offensive” like harmful or stereotyping. That puts him a massive cut above the rest, who think the point of “offensive” comedy is to purposely try to make people angry or upset. Whether you think people have a right to be “offended” or not, the first rule of comedy is that it’s supposed to be funny, and if a significant proportion of the audience stops laughing - whether it’s because their offended or not - then that’s just bad comedy. Frankie Boyle seems to understand this better than anyone else, which is what makes him such a great comedian, and how he’s largely avoided massive controversies throughout his career.
exactly, i see people claiming he "turned into a woke lefty" and it's just, like, were they actually watching his old material? because the literal 3rd joke in this entire compilation is him railing against Conservative tax cuts for the rich. he has literally always been left wing and aimed a lot of his comedy at right wing institutions, they're just mad that he doesn't tell rape jokes any more.
He might have always been left wing but woke stuff is often pure lunacy and cries out to be made fun off. Like all this nonsense about gender identity. That really does need to be made fun off and ridiculed. And if you don't make fun of it then I think you are most likely just scared of being cancelled. So Frankie could remain left wing but still attack woke stuff as that is just ridiculous ideology that has nothing to do with normal left wing politics and socialism.
@@marlowemarlowe4893 I hate to break it to you mate but to "attack woke stuff" would generally align you with right-wing opinions. Frankie doesn't attack these because, like the vast majority of us on the left, don't see it as a problem. The "woke" thing is just an American demonisation of progressive views used by populists to scare those who can't accept that the world doesn't stand still.
What the hell is woke anyway!!!? It’s a bullshit term made up by f’wits who have gotten a slap across the wrist for making one too many thoughtless or offensive comments. Most of the gender politics garbage is made up by right wingers who want to keep their supporters aligned or distracted. Aka Murdock media
It's so annoying that no one will put up with anything being mocked anymore. Not even the week. Or the Tories. I can sort of understand how certain things shouldn't be made fun of, but there are other things about which I feel that's their only useful purpose. Like what's the point of a government you can't verbally shit all over?
@@socialmoonThe sad thing is that the definitions never get changed. The people that get punched "up" at haven't been "up" for decades, and the ones that are "up" can't be made fun of because somehow that's "punching down". Everybody agrees that it should be acceptable to make jokes about people who can get you fired or arrested on a whim, but when you apply that to the modern day, you are every type of -ist and -phobe in the book.
He gives a vibe of Vyvyan from the Young Ones, if he instead of medical carreer would chose stand up and started wearing glasses. Same straight-forward personality and absolutely no consideration for who thinks what. We need more people on tv like this. I like him so much even his flaming sexism and shallow preferences do not bother me.
2:45 - He jokes about philosophy in primary school. But I've been told by my parents that in the 3rd or 4th yr at primary school, I actually had conversations with my teacher about philosophy. I don't recall, but they've got no reason to lie about it. I know; weird kid right. I know better now though. Not just weird, but autistic too. An aside, whilst the other kids liked pop-chart music, the teacher and I, both loved the Gypsy Kings and had the same favourite film at the time (Princess Bride)
Children are inherently philosophical. As a 4-5 year old, I drove my parents' mad by questioning the existence of things & arguing about the purpose of life, the universe, etc. Kids are curious! :) Hope you've kept that inquisitive spirit. :)
Let me correct that for you - I don't find him funny, never have, never will'. There you go - no need to thank me, unless I got it wrong - do you speak for all of us?
@@daveloboda1769 I am trying to help - you can say 'I don't find him funny' You can't say 'He's not funny'. It's poor use of language. You can't state an opinion as a fact. A fact is a fixed truth. An opinion is something you think. You think he's not funny and that's your opinion - not a fact. A fact is that some people find him funny and others don't
6:16 Those "Middlesbrough, Rhyl and Liverpool" jokes are to me Frankie's greatest hat trick from this show
I like how he occasionally references video games like Tekken and Resident Evil. He knows how to appeal to a wider audience without alienating those who don’t understand the references.
Quiet boy, fireball!
Nerd
It’s also funny because some times it feels like he’s just bringing up video games he knows nothing about
He started gaming when he went sober as he needed something to do. On My bucket list would be a gaming session with Frankie and Charlie Brooker. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Shown picture of a Lib Dem Mp:
Didn't I kill him on level 3 of Resident Evil?
Frankie has an exemplary talent for painting an extremely vivid word picture.
The Queer Eye joke is a classic.
“Nuts on the road” gets me every time, accidentally said it out loud the other day and almost pulled it off lol
Shut up.
@@iamurdad77eh, nuts on the road
When Mock the week was worth watching!!
6:26 💀💀💀 this, this is why he is my favourite comedian
"What's top prize on Romanian Deal or no Deal" Loooooooool, that one creased me.
Undisputed world heavyweight champion of dark comedy.
Everything this guy says is hilarious!
Frankie is brilliant.
This world needs Frankie ,so underappreciated. Love the man
😂the man, the legend!
Frankies Dear points of view jokes are legendary man well his whole comedy is 🤣🤣🤣
everything he says about menzies campbell is absolutely golden 🤣🤣
"quiet boy, fireball"
The punchlines can't be appreciated because you're Cutting everything to quick ffs
I agree mate, so annoying isn't it
Not happy, do it your damn self.
@@CorrectionUnknownwell said mate 😎. 👽
Fuckin' hell that joke about Russians and Chelsea was ahead of its time.
Francis Boyle A Good Glasgow Comic Who Hate's The Crown Hail Hail Frankie 🇮🇪🍀👌🤣
That’s your king your talking about
Both Parents Irish!
Dark as ****. Frankie on top form!
mcintyre's face, perplexed, he would be out witted every time by F F, Freaky Frankie lol.
McIntyre?

Warning Tunnel Ahead
"Put your foot down. I think we can outrun them" is a Frankie Boyle line, iirc.
Ok. Should have got to the end of the video before replying...🤦♂️
Hahaah I’m bisexual af and I’m from Middlesbrough a dude two street across from me actually got his head caved in for wearing makeup two years ago so he ain’t wrong .
I’m so sorry man
That's no fun man, stay safe. Don't know why it's technically 2021 but still not in some situations.
Maybe he got his head panned in for being from Middlesbrough
Good
Shit. That's funked up. Did they catch the scum?
Not surprising in hindsight that he quit. Nobody could follow him. He knew it and evidently so did everybody else on the show.
Joke's on Frankie, as Menzies Campbell is still alive at age 81 😂😂😂
"If someone's giving me a han_djob, do I really care if they read "Death of a salesman?" :))))

He used to get a lot of milage from jokes where the punchline was essentially "gay"
@@Grandude77 The jokes were never at the expense of gay people, however. He's always punched up.

yup the r good :-) from the times there was less pc
That boy ain't right.
This was absolute peak Frankie. After he left mock the week went downhill IMO.
Not sure, his live shows are still just as good.
Why does this have an intro? Oh just got it... that would be an editor the thinks they’re more funny than the subject! 👏👏👏

Damn missed that five seconds of mirth

Wish he could unflip that switch in his head.
