This is fairly tame compared to a lot of his stuff. He can be v brutal and dark at times talking about things other comedians wouldnt go anywhere near, but he's all the better for this. He is from Glasgow in Scotland and makes a lot of jokes about Scotland being full of drug addicts, alcoholics and being generally rough. This is obviously only half true. Some UK refs - Holby City - long-running medical drama/soap opera. Alistair Darling - UK politician with bushy eyebrows.
@@AfterWorkReactions Mate one of the most darkest jokes was what he said about Princess Diana. He said this. Frankie: "I don't really like how we commemorated Diana's death. If we really wanted to commemorate the good she's done we stage a gangbang in a mine field."
@@AfterWorkReactions Mate, has anyone suggested Vic Reeves and Bob Mortimer? Their stuff is unbelievable. It's really British, you might hate it, but if you love em like I do, it's for a lifetime. Also, check Chris Morris, on The Day Today or Brass Eye. That shizz is wild. Keep well dude, it's good to watch others laughing at the comedy you love too.😁
We appreciate the effort you’re trying to grasp in our comedy, obvs you might not click onto the odd joke due to culture differences etc but I love this channel just saying!!! Keep it up
The joke about Newcastle at 7:30 As someone from Newcastle (a city in the north east of england where we talk a bit funny) i can confirm it is a bid mental here.
This is the "lightest" I've ever seen Frankie Boyle, check out more of him. Audience interaction, Darkest jokes, mock the week or tramadol nights. Great reaction
keep grinding bro, its difficult in the uk because there is so many inuendos and places and history and everything lol. you caught most of it though 👌🏻
I'm binge watching your stuff. I love the fact you seem to 'get' alot of this comedy. Some of this specific video was very UK orientated so understandable it didn't translate over well, but I get the impression you get most of what is said and enjoy it as the art form it is.On to your next video!
"You were in Holby ..." It means the actor was in long-running hospital soap opera "Holby City" - an off shoot of "Casualty" [ ... Britain's version of E.R.] There's no such thing as Holby - it's a fictional town where Holby City hospital takes place. But the characters in Holby City and Casualty are very well known - a superb, almost idealistic, represenation of our National Health Service!
Holby City is a long running series. It just kinda crawls along at a snails pace. Nothing much really happens but when it does it has to be fantastically over the top. Frankie was referring to the show in general, not having a dig at the actor so much. It does drain you of the will to live.
Wheelie bin is a ! Trash can on wheels so put big rims on don’t mean s#;¥ / ie you can’t Polish a turd lol I love the language barrier even though we al speak English lol
Alaster darling is a politician with white hair and black thick eyebrows. Loads of comedians joke about him so the butterfly joke was that they look like caterpillars
This is Frankie Boyle behaving himself. To get a lot of the jokes you’d need to be born and raised in Britain so I wouldn’t even bother trying to explain them. I’d recommend his mock the week compilations there is probably at Least 6 parts on youtube already.
He’s referring to the Scottish independence referendum with the caliphate joke - he was in the yes camp so wanted independence for Scotland but obviously the no camp won, so he was saying maybe we could find another way to be independent and turn into a caliphate, the English wouldn’t want us then sort of thing
This is Frankie in prime-time BBC so he's reigning it in a lot. I think the other stuff had been covered below but Ant and Dec are a duo who present that survival show. Ant has a large head that could hatch...
can't blame you for missing out on some stuff in this, the accent can be hard to understand when you aren't exposed to it much. Frankie is hilarious though, take it from me
A wheely bin is a type of bin every house has that you put on the side of the road every two weeks to be emptied. Fun fact in Liverpool they have purple bins
Yeah man, if you haven't already, check him out live in his home city of Glasgow. It's funny as hell but it's harsh! The Apollo is very BBC, nothing too risky. He's vicious to the home crowd. By the way, watching you (I'm in the UK) laughing your head off at british comedy is a joy to behold. Thanks :)
Keep.it up dude found you recently I'm Scottish aswell greet to see you react to one of ours I can see you had difficulty with the Scottish language don't worry you and 6.5 billion others don't understand us either ah ah
Prince harry (who is now married to Megan) was in the british army as an Apache helicopter weapons operator in Afghanistan. All male royals enter the armed forces at some point it’s a tradition. That is what he was referring to at the end
18" rims on a wheely bin - a wheely bin is an outside garbage can. In the UK our big garbage cans outside are made of plastic and have tiny little wheels to help push them.
Frankie Boyle is fast becoming an untouchable pariah in the UK, for his extreme left-wing politics, & his constant bile, directed at anyone who opposes HIS opinions! I used to like FB when he was a comedian, but since he became an 'activist', I've gone right off him, & so have many many others. We don't need to be told what to think, we're grown-ups already!
When I first saw that sketch I thought I'd seen it before but I had HEARD it before. It was written by David Renwick (One Foot In The Grave writer) for the radio show The Burkiss Way. I had the same reaction to Alexei Sayle's "Not Entirely Truthful Lowestoft Tourist Board" sketch originally written for The Burkiss Way by Andrew Marshall
Isis is an Islamic caliphate Oscar pistorious was/is a South African disabled amputee athlete who was the star of the 2012 paralympics & ran on blades instead of prosthetic legs. He also was the first amputee to run with able bodied athletes in the 2012 London Olympics. On valentines day 2013 he was at home with his girlfriend reeva steenkamp (a TV presenter) in their home in South Africa. She got up to use the bathroom and the toilet was behind a door in their bathroom down the hall from the bedroom. Oscar claimed he heard a noise, thought there was an intruder in the house, said he believed that reeva was in the bed next to him and said he called to her to call the police. He grabbed his handgun, went down the hall on his stumps and told the "intruder" to get out. He said he heard a noise from inside the toilet door and shot through the door like 6 times. She died and he was sentenced to prison (eventually)
Strictly speaking, the Scots say *nae* (adverb for 'no' or 'not'), whereas 'nay' is used when voting in the negative for just about everyone else. They're homophones which are almost synonymous, but the subtle difference is important because the spelling implies context.
Trust me if you were sitting in the audience at one of his shows you would break your finger nails on your seat with the tension !!! He’s that ruthless
Glad you finally got round to watching Frankie,as others have said you should check his audience annihilation videos to get an idea of what hes really about
*Please continue reacting to more Frankie Boyle + Scottish × British comedy content. We all appreciate it and recognise you understandably won't get all the jokes that are explicitly British-centric references*
Thanks for this, I have watched a few of videos now and love your reactions. We have some brilliant comedy stuff on tv. Try watching a quiz show called " Would I lie to You" it is very funny especially if Bob Mortimer is on the show, even though the two main guys in the teams are very funny.
You've got a good sense of humour mate. A lot of the Scottish independence jokes refer to English and Scottish rivalry. So when he is talking about IS, he means the best way to mess England up is to create a caliphate ( like under Islamic state Syria) in Scotland because England cannot do anything about it. Check out 'Rab C. Nesbitt', it is no sugar coated sit com but it's great Glasgow comedy. Great channel and reactions!
If you're not sure Oscar Pistorius is a South African Paralympic runner who shot his girlfriend dead while she was in the bathroom, he told police he thought she was a burglar
wheely bin is a large plastic trashcan with wheels, so you can wheel it from the rear of your house to the front...hugh quashie plays a surgeon in Holby, its a medical drama...
You might not recognise him because of the low resolution but that actor Hugh Quarshie was in Star Wars the Phantom menace playing the Naboo Guard Captain.
Best one I've ever heard him say was about Cern particle collider. "If they want to see something moving at the speed of light, they can check my fucking as meter!"
Ohh mate...RU-vid keeps recommending you to me....and It's always funny. I live in the UK and my favorite comedian is Joey Diaz in your country. I enjoy your laugh. Take care my friend xx.
Yes a lot of frankie Boyle’s material is political/specific to British culture. Tbf if an American comedian started ranting about the republicans and the democrats I would miss a lot of the jokes too. I appreciate that you don’t just laugh for the sake of laughing like so many reaction channels and admit when you don’t get the joke. Keep up the good content bro and much love from the UK 👍
In Britain, like here in Australia, we drive on the opposite side of the road; that's why the american guy nearly got run over. Mate, you really do "get" the British sense of humour; and your laugh, omg. Cracks me up. I really enjoy watching your reactions to British Comedy and panel shows. Keep it up. you are bringing a little bit of light into this lockdown world.
@@wall-e7179 In case you are unaware, the term "British" includes Scotland. The last time I looked at a map Scotland was part of The British Isles. "English" refers specifically to England. To quote you... "Get over it." peace from Australia.
Stewart Lee has got to be one of the best Comedians, though rather clever perhaps not the best for a reaction video though definitely worth watching a few Stewart Lee vids on here
I'd absolutely recommend you watch more of Frankie, some of his other stuff is way darker, but everyone knows he's a comedian and he's just joking. Also a lot of the jokes you didn't get were very specific to the UK. The "24 inch rims on a wheelie bin", wheelie bins are what we call trash bins. Also Oscar Pistorius was a Paralympic sprinter who shot and killed his girlfriend in the bathroom, and who has 2 prosthetic legs.
I live in South Africa. Oscar Pistorious shot his girlfriend through a locked bathroom door. Claimed he thought it was an intruder, very probable in SA. Judge asked him why 6 shots. Said the gun was an automatic.
