“I think we use extinction as a comfort blanket, when really 1000 years from now we’ll still be facing the exact same issue” Jeeze, I think that’s the one time somebody’s out grimed Frankie
Scott Raynor i think it was more peoples shared acknowledgement of the grim truth, not the shock factor of the joke but the relatability is what got a reaction
It's true, but it may yet be overly-optimistic. I'm reminded of the apocryphal Einstein quote: “I do not know with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones.” Similar could be said of changes that will be essentially irreversible for humanity, as might be seen if some of the climate tipping-points are reached and feedback loops swing into operation. We've got about 8 years, at the outside, to solve that one, and we're currently accelerating in making it worse. There are levels of species "survival" far more ugly than many have contemplated. Progress is never guaranteed, and barbarism closer to the surface and harder to escape than we'd like to think. These are, in many ways, the best times humanity has ever seen, by a long shot, and we're risking all of it.
amongst the many conditions and addictions that i have, they all accumulate to rewatching frankie boyle, for familiarity, comfort, and for the accurate premonition of the bullshit of life that i desperately wish to escape.
Indeed! Everytime I hear someone complain about how you can't say anything anymore for fear of offending someone, I think of the ongoing success of Frankie Boyle.
I agree with you Josh B. I wasn't exactly a fan of hers to begin with, but I'm starting to find her bleak outlook quite endearing. She is learning the British ways well, now we've drained that Canadian positivity out of her.
As much as I hate Theresa May, I don’t like those ‘girls night’ questions, can you imagine reporters asking Blair or Cameron what they do to let their hair down?
"I never missed you more than when I came in a robot's hair." Well, now I know what to write on the xmas card I'll be sending to my ex-girlfriend in order to charm her back to me.
Love this guy...crosses the line consistently...one of the finest contemporary English language comedians ...Sam Bee is up there, as well...cudos for her show this week. Sadly taken down...Go Frankie!
I fancy Mona Chalabi. Knows whats she talks about, uses numbers, witty and all with that voice, as well as being visually appealing. [Edit] Also Jack Carroll was a really good addition.
That's the weird thing; they all talked like it was a difficult question, but it really, really isn't. This should have been right up Theresa-bot's programmed alley. It's basically a standard "humanize yourself to our audience" profile-fluffing question, to which any professional pol should have pre-written, or be quickly-able to cobble-up, appropriate answers. It's the kind of soft question you would expect from a partisan, friendly interviewer. May had nothing, and could think of nothing. That's a remarkable lack of planning and ability to improvise, which is not... super, for a Great-Nuclear-Power leader? That would seem the more important point. I get that there's additional difficulties for her in being an older woman in British politics and the increased scrutiny the bigotry around that brings, but that would seem to be more reason to have an answer prepped, not less, and aggravates the underlying display of incompetence, which, again, not great around nukes.
"This is a basic human rights issue" And that's why May is against it. She's been actively opposing the Human Rights Act since she was Home Sec. It was one of the main talking points before she was appointed as Prime Minister (because remember, she didn't get elected... either of the times). And after the appointment, one of her first statement was her intention to remove the Human Rights Act from British law as soon as we're out of EU. Her second was to start widdling it down by redefining the word "house" to no longer have the legal meaning "habitable for humans".
The best part of this season so far was seeing Jack Carroll. It's been a while since I last heard anything about him, glad to see he's still a sharp lad.
I feel like Trump and Brexit share the same bleak path, and Holly's analogy is spot on. Like we Americans have been so caught up with the mess Trump has made so far, but we've failed to see the real pain to come. Not sure that's how Brexit is going to be, but I feel like that path could possibly be shared? I feel like she's so spot on its wondrous and heartwrenching at the same time. Well spotted Holly.
crisisofconsciousness Aye 'MAGA' is bullshit. I mean, can anyone truly name a time when it was great? America has been fucking with the world since about WW2, some adventures before that along with alot of racism slavery and genocide before that. Even when the US was doing well it spoilt the whole thing by murdering millions of people in aggressive wars. For empires to be great alot of other peoples and nations have to suffer. It's the "American Dream" afterall, for the most part they have no interest in other nations doing well. PS when I generalize about Americans like that I most mean the establishment and military, but alot of people support them too of course. Long story short, I'm not bashing ALL Americans... just a bunch of cunts out there.
The real damage of the Trump administration is the masses of deregulation and privatisation that is going on almost unnoticed in the background. If America wasn't fucked before then it will be in the future. I'd move if I lived there.
I was SO "medicated" that as i was having my drink, the audience starts clapping and i hear your voice. For a second, i thought i got teleported straight into the studio..i almost shat myself..😬🤷🏻♂️
The Brexit Pizza joke was very close to James Acaster’s bit about ordering Brexit Steak and having to eat the plate of shit that they bring instead…. 😂😂
Look at all the hateful comments. Boyle isn't attacking any of you, all he's doing is pointing out injustices in the world and satirising. Jeez. people need to chill.
@@saoirsedeltufo7436 Yeah, at first blush, it looks like something that wouldn't work, but Frankie is such a genius, and his guests are all top class, and together with good editing and excellent writing, they really pull it off.
The worst thing is, it'll; be proprietary, work with absolutely no other standards, be incredibly expensive to fix or replace, and be a feature users of the more-open systems tend to get for free.
Jesus Christ Theresa May can't even answer a soft ball question like how would you let your hair down. Also young Jacob Rees Mogg was fucking terrifying.
How can she, she isn't human. She doesn't know what normal human lives are like. They're kickin black folk out of the country (who were invited in decades ago) but Theresa said the worst thing she did as a kid was 'run through a field of wheat'... I did more sinister shit as a child and i'm not as cold as thosee Tory cunts. I reckon they must have been throwing dogs down wells and stabbing foxes to death, making kittens swallow money til they choke. Shit like that.
They do need to introduce less bias and diss on the left too, they're just as bad. Love the way the analyst suggests the brexit was wrong, cause it was to her. Love the show though.
8:45, I'm beginning to believe the ''Lizard'' stories...T-May can't even fathom the idea of a ''girls' night out', the context of the syntax makes no sense to her. she can only repeat her coding. domestic abuse and making women's lives a living hell.
nothing wrong with being Right leaning. Far right, thats a problem. Same with Left, nothing wrong, but far left...Furthermore, no balanced human is either right or left. A wise person sees both and incorporates the best of both, otherwise, you're a tool for division.
