Frankie Boyle - Modern Comedy

We all have different taste, which is good.
I have excluded those you name as I don’t find them funny. McIntyre particularly.

I think Rosie Jones is great and Hugh was an oversight - great too.

IMHO of course !

 

Macintyre was in jest but if you think Rosie Jones is funnier than the two I mention, then frankly your views on comedy are valueless. Roy Hodgson is a better standup.

Of course, comedy is purely subjective.

 

Jones is funny. It was suggested above that she only gets the gig due to her disability. I find her disability a frustration but she’s sufficiently funny that I’m prepared to put up with the slow awkward delivery. I think she gets the gig despite the disability.
IMHO.

 

I have literally never found anything she says funny.

 

You clearly have no sense of humour !

 

Mmm. Says the man who doesn’t like Richard Pryor.

 

Don’t mean this to sound racist but I feel Pryor and Kevin??s humour are directed too much at black American audiences and don’t hit my British sense of humour. I accept they are both hugely popular mainly in the US but also UK to some extent. Blazing saddles was of course brilliant.

 

Speaking as a white Brit, I found him hilarious even before moving over here.

Humour is obviously somewhat subjective, but I think Pryor's material stretches well beyond requiring you to be a black American.

 

Just reading up on him on Wikipedia, he had 6 wives during his life, one of whom he married and divorced twice.
