The Thin Blue Line was absolutely devoid of redeeming features.
Pah! What’s the difference between the manager of Barclays having a fight, and Fred Nerk?... One’s a warring banker, and the other’s a boring…
The Thin Blue Line is practically perfect in everyway --
Rowan Atkinson: I’m not sure about you, darling, but I had lots of fun last night: Flatulation on top of fornication…
It was the best Scrabble score I’ve ever had!

He claims to be the UK equivalent of Eddie Murphy, although surely that would involve starring in films? He was on Channel 4's Top 100 worst songs (many which were actually dead good) defending his soiree into the music world (which wasn't). He was also on the Brass Eye paedophile special, sniffing keyboards and feeling "susceptible". He seems to be a particular bugbare of mine. I really dislike the man. He's also started to remind me in mannerisms of Harvey from So Solid Crew.

I have seen literally 3 seconds of his act. I was channel flipping on the TV one evening something like ten years ago, when I alighted on his standup act. He said "Why are goths always so miserable?". I thought "fuck you, you unfunny wanker" and flipped the channel.
― just another country (snoball), Sunday, 7 April 2019 17:26 (five years ago) link
oh yeah, he goes on the unfunny comedians list as well!

The Grade II listed Georgian mansion comes with 28 acres of land and is described by Historic England as late 18th Century with French windows and entrance hall, a chandelier and ornate fireplace.
hahaha. I mean throw all the hate you want at the unfunny man (and he is truly dire), but singling out a chandelier and fireplace is next level barrel scraping, not to mention the place has a f*cking 'entrance hall'.
― mark e, Sunday, 7 April 2019 17:36 (five years ago) link
an entrance hall could mean looking right at the stairs from the front door or anything up to a fucking warehouse sized thing tho! I presume in a £2 - 6 m valued prop it's more likely towards the latter.
― calzino, Sunday, 7 April 2019 17:41 (five years ago) link
Good lawd, Brad Stine is literally the worst. Come back Gallagher and Carrot Top, all is forgiven.
I honestly don't understand the Frankie Boyle hatred. When he rips on the audience, it's understood he's going to do that (though he doesn't seem to be doing it that much these days) and it seems like an honor to be roasted by him. He reminds me of Don Rickles in that way. I love Boyle; he's my favorite comedian of all time. He "crosses the line twice", to quote a common trope, and I'm here for it.

John Bishop maintains his opposition to HS2.
And yet he's made £4.5M from it.
He is unhappy, like many others affected by the proximity of the proposed line, that he was left with no choice but to sell his family home to HS2.
This family home, this ancestral seat of the Bishop clan that he's lived in for six years. Also it's 150 metres from where the proposed line will be. One hundred and fifty metres. My family used to live in a terraced house that backed onto one of the main railway lines going into London. Seriously, fuck this guy.
The proposed line had rendered it unsellable on the open market - thus destroying all he and his family had worked for.
Except it hasn't 'destroyed' anything because he's made a considerable profit from the sale and can go and buy another mansion somewhere else. Presumably not 'near' (150 metres!) a proposed railway line.

Was watching a frankie boyle special from about ten years ago recently and his crowd work had him say that 3 different men looked gay or "a bit camp to be at one of my shows".

Perhaps he figured that would be the audience members he was directing those words toward would consider that the most humiliating thing to be called? He strikes me as far too left-wing to be genuinely homophobic.

If he actually is left wing or that's just another aspect of his act.

last year he did a Jezza is an anti-semite rant in one of his shows that shows why he still gets work with the bbc despite being *so controversial*. Maybe if Jerry Sadowitz had ripped into the LOTO he'd have got a beeb show as well. Rather than disappearing into obscurity, despite having more talent in his left toe than what that cunt has in his whole body!

the homophobia in some of Boyle's past sets - and not even that long ago - is utterly indefensible and because of it i can't really enjoy him, even when he's being otherwise funny or right-on about something else. he has never apologized for any of it as far as I'm aware.
― Lil' Brexit (Tracer Hand), Sunday, 7 April 2019 21:54 (five years ago) link
stine's a piece of work. reminds me of the mitchum line when he was asked about scripts he's turned down.I turned down 'Patton' and I turned down 'Dirty Harry.' Movies that piss on the world. If I've got $5 in my pocket, I don't need to make money that fucking way, daddy.

boyle is one-paced and even when he constructs a real filthy zinger i find its a pace i dont like
im not in any way convinced his comic persona or his public persona is indicative of any deeply held beliefs other than what gets him the attn he likes but thats obv irrelevant
i cant even dignify (hignify?) the post that lauds a diet rik mayall like acaster but mildly shades s lee

xp. i think it's reasonable to assume that his persona reflects his genuine feelings. a working class celtic supporter from glasgow who hates the tories and is anti-austerity, is pro-palestine, supports scottish independence, and is homophobic. not a rare combo in the wild
