"Apparently the Saudi Arabian Paralympic team is mainly thieves"

"Sadly our Paralympian in the high jump isn’t expected to match his personal best. But I hear it doesn’t count as it was ‘Taliban assisted’."

Gnuff gnashing and wailing over that, but I think he's a funny cunt.

Was joking, I meant any/all of them.

I love distasteful humour as much as the next person but from what I've seen of Boyle he's cut from much the same cloth as that odious cunt Gervais. And he started out on Mock The Week, which is about as funny as a kick in the bollocks.

Could give a shit about this guy but I read in The Guardian that his favourite book is 'The Book of the New Sun' by Gene Wolfe, which is also my favourite book.

Andy Parsons. Andy fucking Parsons. He's the musketeery one Stewart Lee mentions above.

Mind you, I suppose the reason Frankie Boyle doesn't make paki jokes is that he's the toothless commercialised version of Sadowitz who isn't really willing to go all the way.

Boyle is a bit of a twat, though. The funniest from 'Mock The Week' by a country mile but that's really not saying much.

Russell Howard is the pits.

He's funnier than Stewart Lee, tho. The point he makes in that youtube clip is a good one, but fuck me, 7 minutes. I went to see him a couple of years ago and it was basically paying to watch someone perform comedy criticism really, really slowly

Yeah, nuanced satire can't really cut it against gags about cripples and retards I suppose.

Also people who find this Lee guy funny have a completely distinct sense of humour from my own.

If it gets a laugh, it's funny.
If it gets mumbled hur-hurrhing and a golf clap, it's nuanced satire?

Stuart Lee makes me laugh. As do Chris Morris and Jonathon Meades. It's possible to be both intelligent and funny.
