“Theresa May has had a challenging year, but she can be proud of the fact that against all the odds, she has shown that she can dance, shown that she can dance like an uncloaked dementor on a hen weekend” - My favourite quote of 2018.
@@WyreForestBiker Yes because everybody remembers a Bill Hicks joke from 25 years ago. I genuinely can't tell if you're being serious right now. Most jokes are based on jokes from the past.
david jay not to mention how fucking annoying those types of comments are, if the breadth of a persons insight is to simply quote the video we all just watched they probably shouldn't bother commenting
@@Eamonshort1 Almost as annoying on the dipshits who don't, or don't know the importance of clicking, on the appropriate 'reply' button. The 24 likes allow we insightful persons to exhibit our common appreciation of reprised Hicks humour. What a blow to society. Much like the comments of every movie audience leaving the show as they relive their good memories. I used this capacity to enhance my children's memory and to instill a deeper appreciation of what they had just witnessed. Frankie would love to have you in his audience, front row, with all of your blandness exposed. Do tag me then,... please.
@@peterclark4685 sorry I don't comment on RU-vid much I did hit reply and his name automatically came up what am I supposed to do sorry, didn't realise I made a mistake
The end monologue is why I think Boyle is a comedic, satirical genius. It's why comedy from the left will always trump the right. It's why the left points out all our inherent hypocrisy so beautifully. It's why the left criticises the left so sublimely.
@Sean Moonshine the point is that a lot of the "left" disagree on what "left" is - whereas a the right agree on economics at least - people that believe themselves to be part of the "leftist" movement are very much moderate instead - Gun Control for example is a major topic of argument in the left, the further elft you go the less likely you are to agree with gun control - both MLs and Ancoms HATE the idea of gun control - one for the purpose of proletariat revolution and the other for the realities of their ideal anarchic society, however the moderate left loves gun control - whereas the almost noone to the right of centre wants gun control
I don't care about left or right, Frankie is so spot on when it comes to reality in this monologue, in the end nothing really matters. He knows how meaningless everything is, yet still makes us laugh at the inevitable pointlessness of existence. His general existence gives value through his observations, and we can all learn from it, what we choose to do by learning is up to the perceiver, we can be a shitty version of ourselves or try to become the best version of our potential. If everyone tried to become the latter, maybe the future wouldn't be as grim as foretold by the prophet F.Boyle
100% agree, but I think Charlie unofficially ended it in 2016. Him staring into the camera silently in the Trump segment hinted at that for me. And when he announced that there would be no 2017 one, I gathered that was it. Here's hoping he'll do a 2020 retrospective of the decade. If we're still alive.
Alice Preshaw what have sky and amazon and virgin. Yeah they might be. Just because it’s far away you think they don’t have a tv. What do you think Alice.
No it isn't. Americans really never watch across the pond, UK has been watching us forever. They knew Trump was a nightmare before he was elected. They called much of his mess
27:50 Attenborough is a notorious friend of scotch, not to mention he's so well respected because of all his time in the field. You try sitting up all night waiting for a frog without a bottle of Glenmorangie
Very profound finish from Frankie, i love it. He really should do some sort of sci fi comedy though, maybe team up with a good director and make a short film, instead of just doing a couple of scattered comedy shows here and there; he has so much more potential, and the Tramadol nights show was brilliant. He has such a zany imagination. I remember one of my favorite comments of his from Mock the week, where he said: ''is it the year when cities finally gain sentience and raise themselves on hydraulic legs to begin the long battle for resources?''... Enough said.
mate he is a world class comedian, only reason he's not huge in america is because they can't understand anything outside their own accent or posh english
@@Dougal-Mcguire1) that was sarcasm, sorry you couldn’t understand that, you tea and crumpet eaten motherfucker. 2) I’m American and can understand him just fine. He’s one of my two favorite British comedians, him and Jimmy Carr.
At my grandma's funeral my paternal grand dad told my mum " Ah Maureen, I wish you could have seen her when she was young. She could carry a sack of coal on each shoulder."
I had that same idea. I think, wait until your past selves see what 2020 has in store, and the 2 years after that. 2023 is off to a rollicking start as well. I know, I think 2020 was bad, which means something much worse will happen in the coming year or two. Will the missiles come from Russia or North Korea?
Well, that bit about "Brett Kavanagh's appointment leading to the overturning of Roe v. Wade" is a strange mixture of being uncannily prophetic, and yet a surprise to absolutely nobody...
@@MacStoker Fake news? Personally I don't believe Branson is real in the first place, no human looks like that, maybe Musk was just sending him back to his people
@@IAmAlgolei I wouldn't get on board that mate, that's a rocketship to hell right there, and yes I am suggesting Branson was in that spacesuit. You have to think like a billionaire. He lost the bet
It's funny that he has to say "as of this recording Theresa is still trying to put through her brexit deal" I think it's safe to say that it will be relevant for a few more recordings
Go watch youtube vids of Not the 9 O'clock news, and get that nothing has changed since the late 70's. everyone rips the piss out of politicians complaints about roads and all of the UK's woes have been around forever. Hell in Georgian times they were bitching about roads and politicians.
hey nowadays if a comedian makes a joke about how annyoing his kids are, he`s spreading a population control agenda. Apparently you`re not allowed to joke about anything at all
The one thing I take away from this that is positive is that I'm a member of a species that 21 years after it happened is STILL fucked off by how the movie Titanic ended
I mean i like frankie etc, but god it annoys me when you have actors, comedians or dancers (like spice girls) talking about politics when they're about as qualified as a pineapple.
@@AAA-fh5kd it's comedy, they aren't here to solve the country's problems and given that it's pretty much a recap of the year there's a certain level of assumed knowledge so your aren't going to learn a whole lot.
People like Frankie are great. They are canaries, separating the mentally weak from the mentally strong. The weak burst into tears about how cruel he is. The strong can laugh at how he is satirising the political classes. Brilliant guy. Incisive commentary like this is rare.
Uh huh. And where do you place the people that 'burst into tears' about the people who 'burst into tears' about stuff like that? Because it seems to me they're far more numerous.
@@DodderingOldMan You're entering some sort of recursive meta-hell there Doddering. We might need to reboot you. Not sure anyone is crying over people who are too sensitive to watch Boyle, are they? Probably just ignoring them I imagine.
Soooo are you saying "that you and your friends are some of the only good people in the world [and] that other people's consciousness needs to be raised to the level of your own"? Did you not watch Frankie's incisive commentary at the end there? [EDIT for timestamp: 40:22 ]
RIghteous Shift You probably like him simply because he swears. Look at the front row of his stand-up shows when he picks on the audience. Their mock shock and then everyone else laughing is just like a Pavlov’s dog reaction. Boyle nowadays is a BBC sell out, about as edgy as a potty mouthed Ben Elton. Appreciation of him has nothing to do with mental states ... more to do with taste. He is simply third rate and those that like him (like Stewart Lee’s fans) think they are intellectuals. Ironically, that is actually the funny thing.
TBH, it was a bit so-so, until at 17:37, Frankie comes out with, " I think it it would be nice for the Irish to see a British famine."Only Frankie Boyle could say this, and (so far) get away with it. Even the audience reaction was a bit muted, as if the full significance of what he said had not yet registered.
Lost all respect for Frankie when he shyed away from the Dankula thing. Its alright for him to be offensive but he was quiet as the grave over that shit. Not that dankula is funny, but it was clearly a joke.
METAL VLOG UK agreed. My wife thought he should have locked up. I then went on to say what about all the other Jewish people who take the piss out of themselves. She couldn’t wrap her head around that context is everything. All she saw was a “racist” Scotsman being anti Semitic. Smh.
@@FlameDragon72 Far right like the Nazis? Even though they were another brand of socialism mixed in with nationalistic patriotism to hoodwink the masses. Bolshevism another socialistic political theorem based on class and religious warfare isn't much different from Nazism other than what I mentioned. Both of them are Statism both of them maintain the state is the sovereign body and the citizenry are it's servants, both detest capitalism(private property-self ownership). We live in quasi-corporate-state where those few at the top, a crony conglomerate, capitalise of the socialised majority at the bottom. Essentially, all profits are capitalised to the shareholders and their associates, while losses are socialised to the public. Doesn't matter if it's a Republic, Democracy, Socialism or Communism, ultimately they are all the same in different measures, they are simply Statism, a parasitical system in which the state(elites) has substantial centralised control over all of society and it's economic and military affairs. Given a choice of two option is not the same as having the freedom to choose. The left right paradigm is that choice where ultimately both lead to the same end goal, with you having no freedom to choose what's best for you but imposed on by an authoritative state called government. To be governed is to be watched over, inspected, spied on, directed, legislated at, regulated, docketed, indoctrinated, preached at, controlled, assessed, weighed, censored, ordered about, by men who have neither the right, nor the knowledge, nor the virtue. … To be governed is to be at every operation, at every transaction, noted, registered, enrolled, taxed, stamped, measured, numbered, assessed, licensed, authorized, admonished, forbidden, reformed, corrected, punished. It is, under the pretext of public utility, and in the name of the general interest, to be placed under contribution, trained, ransomed, exploited, monopolized, extorted, squeezed, mystified, robbed; then, at the slightest resistance, the first word of complaint, to be repressed, fined, despised, harassed, tracked, abused, clubbed, disarmed, choked, imprisoned, judged, condemned, shot, deported, sacrificed, sold, betrayed; and, to crown all, mocked, ridiculed, outraged, dishonoured. That is government; that is its justice; that is its morality.
@@scotsmanic7783 Cheers man, Frankie has sacrificed his comedic freedom for financial security....And so the saying goes; if you give up freedom for security you deserve neither!
They satirise those that have power, and who use that power to deny freedoms to those who do not have power. If that is what liberal is, then not being liberal is morally repugnant.
