To be fair, he actually IS a nice man but his thing is to come across as not being such. He’s like a reversal of JK Rowling until she stopped caring about her image.
I remember when he introduced the video of guns and roses. He said “the band we all thought was cool until nirvana cane along and made them look like gay pirates” 😄
Just by the reactions of the teams, you can tell this was the show they'd been looking forward to. Phil and Noel spend the episode in perpetual fits of laughter
It actually reminds me of most relationships I've been in - I'm a pathologically cynical, grumpy nihilist, but for some reason attract very bubbly, popular and surprisingly attractive women. I do usually crush their souls eventually though.
I actually think Frankie would have been a brilliant full time host of this show, he shares a lot in common with Mark Lamarr in many ways, has the same razor sharp tongue, quick wit and cynicism, yet doesn't take himself too seriously.
Agreed though the BBC wouldn't have allowed it because back then he was seen as a social pariah. He was has great chemistry with the captains, PhilL Jupitus and Noel Fielding
The same BBC whose incumbent director general Tim Davie stood as a councillor for the Tories and is introducing measures so that right wing comedians (Jim Davidson) are given more airtime. The same BBC whose political broadcasters are all avowed Tories (Laura Kuensberg, Andrew Neil, Nick Robinson). I doubt Frankie shares any of their politics.
Frankie once did a Mock the Week "What's the question?" joke to the answer, "Sparrows, otters, and hedgehogs". It went, "What did I use as Soviet troops in my reenactment of the Battle of Stalingrad, the German forces being played by a lawnmower?". That night, Michelle, bless her innocent heart, was very much one of those sparrows.
Saw Frankie Boyle live around 12 years ago. He had me in tears and is the only comedian I've watched and thought "I really shouldn't be laughing at this"
@@slamitch It sounds like he's saying that Michelle is one of the most famous and beautiful women in the world, but he then reveals that he was actually saying she was Beyonce's friend.
Professor Green and Michelle from Destiny's Child bounced off Frankie so well, great stuff. Michelle seems like a decent gal. Can't imagine that Beyoncé having anywhere near this level of humility.
If anyone deserved to be made full time host it was Frankie. Not only would it properly knock each guest down a peg or two but everyone would know it's just for laughs. People would tune in every week to see how far he could take it and we'd lap it up no problem lol.
It's a shame Frankie's relationship with the BBC was getting bad at that time. The recipe of Simon Amstell humiliating people to his face had pretty much run its course, but Frankie's style could have worked for a regular slot. Even though his jokes were brutal he was actually quite warm with the guests and got them enjoying it
@@M1st3rB3nn To be fair he has managed to get a regular gig on BBC2 doing his own show about certain topics, and they are always killer episodes. I think what's changed is that he doesn't punch down as much, instead putting his comedy squarely at a more apocalyptic turn.
@@craigpardy6204 never really liked him or saw what was funny about him he just reminded me of a kid I used to Bully at school where as Lamarr was like the cool guy down the snooker club I used to know that drove a lotus esprit and went with all the good looking birds
She was on drugs or there is something seriously wrong with her it looked like she was going to throw her shoe at boyle at one point and she was acting like a moron during the songs being played
My bro works installing internet and once went to a flat in Edinburgh and Frankie was there, he was apparently visiting a pal here. My bro said he was, and I quote, "sound as fück!" 😄 Laid back and down to earth, what a national treasure! 🥰❤🏴
What producer would have Frankie on as a host and then continue to make the show without him? I laughed more at this episode than the entirety of the rest of NMTB combined.
Absolute Gold . Nobody took themselves seriously , Goldie was laughing so hard ,Phil was enjoying the banter ,& Michele was holding her own in that crowd . Frankie , as always , doesn't give a toss ,& it shows . He takes it to the edge ,& it will be a bloody sad day when he stops doing stand up .
I lived 2 doors down from Frankie before he made money and moved the Glasgows west ( the nice part of Glasgow lol ) and he is such a nice man! To chat to he was funny but not naturally hysterical! His jokes are well written and he plays his character so well people think that’s how he is! He makes comedy look easy He deserves his success! Shame the lack of our freedom of speech has had him put off all major networks and he only performs in comedy clubs or BBC online New world order, however that has been shown on tv after a few online seasons as it was popular! Well done man Hope I meet you again
Scots humour never ceases to deliver. 😁 Frankie is a Scottish treasure alongside Ricky Fulton, Stanley Baxter, Billy Connolly, Kevin Bridges, Gregor Fisher, Ford Kiernan, Karen Dunbar, Elaine C. Smith and Greg Hemphill.
@@torquetheprisoner I guess you are too illiterate to have read the other comments that say 'covid-19?🤣' and that China is supposedly taking over Australia
