I think you're absolutely right in your assessment. A few people have somehow got it into their heads that political incorrectness and left-wing ideology are incompatible.
Can you imagine not knowing that Frankie Boyle is on the left? It is pretty explicit. It always has been.He is working class and from Glasgow. What else would he be? A Tory?
I have a lot of time for Frankie, we both share the same brutalist, dystopian world view. He gets misunderstood a lot, he says himself that all his jokes have a point to them and he is unashamedly left wing and liberal. Also as a former homeless sleeper I respect what he does behind the scenes for homeless charities, he doesn't brag or virtue signal all his charity work so it often goes unappreciated.

A little extra context around the Brexit jokes: Scotland, a few years before the Brexit referendum, held a vote to determine if they should remain part of the UK. The stay vote won, fairly narrowly, but a huge part of the Stay campaign was based on EU membership, which Scotland would have to apply for if they left the UK and presumably would lose the preferential treatment they get as a UK member. Then Brexit happened a few years later. You can imagine how happy the Scots were with that result. Every constituency in Scotland voted Remain.
Exactly. Like many Scots, I have mixed feelings about independence, but getting back eu membership is one clear incentive now. Brexit has done nothing but weaken the uk economically and politically. And Frankie's joke about voting for Brexit because you don't like your neighbour whose folks came from Asia - I laughed, but there are people like that. 2016 Trump and Brexit - a victorious year for Vladimir Putin. Слава Україні!
Frankie killing it as normal. Problem with people over frankie not being as funny is because there are so many out there now doing similar comedy, inc family guy etc. He is still hilarious and brutal
I agree with your assessment, I’ve always liked Frankie Boyle, he makes jokes that if hell was a real place, I’d be getting a one way ticket there because I’ve laughed so hard at them, as a so called ‘snowflake’. I hope you react to a full older episode if mock the week because he really changed the tone and seeing the others’ reactions to him and his to them was great.
I’ve always enjoyed Frankie Boyle’s comedy. I know it’s not for everyone but I’ve never been put off by “dark” or “offensive” comedy. While I may prefer some of Frankie’s earlier work - Mock The Week etc. I don’t think he’s ever “lost it” and people trying to argue about him being “too political” is ridiculous. Politics has always been in comedy.
People have a problem with him because he made a name for himself by being brutal. Now, he tries to publicly shame comedians who do the exact same things on Twitter.
Well said sir when frankie started to reveal his political views which are on the left some people say far left but thats bs. People hate to hear the truth no matter who tells them.
Great reaction, and I suspect you're very close to the truth with those who claim he's gone soft. I also think he became really well known in the panel show setting, and some people don't like this longer form stuff. Personally, I think he's far better when he has time to develop his ideas, as in this video. And he definitely hasn't gone soft... Great reaction, thanks 👍
People who judge whether they like someone or not based on their political views are idiots, people have different views that's the beauty of human nature, both sides have idiots and if we all thought the same the world would be pretty boring
Choosing sides is idiotic because its 1 side sugarcoated to give us an illusion we have a choice, we dont. Democracy is dead when the rich buy off the politicians. If anyone in my family said they wanted to be a politician id disown them.
It's like this guy says. All that changed is, some people thought he was on their side because that's how he sometimes comes across on (very) superficial examination, whereas now they know he isn't.
Preferred Frankie on Mock The Week. He's usually quite brutal to the audience in his live shows. On a side note, I noticed Rab C Nesbitt was on that poll. Maybe worth considering reacting to next month as the very first episode was a Christmas special called Rab's Seasonal Greet.

I really enjoyed it bro, the vegan joke cracked me up and eating a pilot I don't know why :). And he said a lot of true shit. Some iffy bits but lol a lot.
If anything they're more brutal. It's easy to laugh in shock about a punchline involving cancer or autism. Much harder to laugh at a punchline about how you yourself and everyone around are fucked, and half of you are claiming it's going great.

Comedy is supposed to take people out of their own minds and laugh no matter what the subject matter is if someone hates a comedian for the subjects they talk about then that is complete ignorance. Comedy should work based out of how a joke is told the subject matter merely gives substance.
@@dannydorko7075 yup, its less philosophical than that, if you intend to make a group laugh that is classed as comedy regardless of how good or bad or few people you perform to, its literally just performing a joke
Dodnt expect ypur comments to be particularly illuminating but have to admit that was evidently just my prejudice.I agree with your perspective herr amd found your comments both during and after the special interesting. I hope you and your dog, when you get him/her have many great days of fun together.
If you haven't seen it, i'd recommend "Frankie Boyle's Tour of Scotland" if you can track it down. It's a TV programme where he tours around Scotland's smaller comedy clubs and theatres preparing and trying out the material for _this_ special so it's of interest to any comedy fan, seeing how a set gets put together and refined (though the main gist of the show is that along the way he meets and interviews various people around Scotland, providing a typically Boyle-esque take as he goes).
What about Welsh and Scottish and northern Irish brexiteers.Without them.We wouldn't have got Brexit 😁 and we wouldn't of made the moronic left-wing cry 😂😂😂
@@kevinwoods4724 I was explaining the audience's perception, not my personal view, so perhaps you should address that to them. They certainly think Scottish Brexiteers are thick, but there are so few of them nowadays that they're irrelevant. In 2016 there was a large chunk of Scottish left wingers who supported Brexit as the EU was perceived as a neoliberal cabal. You, seemingly, are not fans of theirs and the feeling is, one would assume, quite mutual. Indeed, you could well be the exemplar for the audience's derision
@@Cruithneach Funnily enough most SNP supporters are as thick as two short planks and cannot seem to comprehend that were Scotland to join the EU, then they would only be awarded a total of 6 MEP's out of 705 in Brussels. Presently, they have 59 MP's out of 650 in Westminster. Go figure. Every single person that I know is absolutely positive in their support for Brexit. There again, they are not working class, living in housing schemes, semi-literate, covered in tattoo's and fully understand the abject corruption that manifests in extremely nefarious overtones within Justice Minister Humza Yousaf's recent Hate Crime Bill. Neither have my fellow Brexit supporters forgotten that SNP's financial manifesto of 2016 fell short by £12 billion, or that 2020's manifesto fell short by £8 billion. Presently, in Scotland, with a population of 5.6 million, only 2.3 million contribute to the nation's coffers. Given that Scotland receives 27% per capita more spending power than it's English counterparts, the question of whether or not Scotland could actually afford to manage as an independent country - despite losing all sovereignty to the EU, and certainly not a minor detail - has yet to be clearly answered by the SNP government. Scotland's entire GDP for the UK is 13.8% of the UK's total. Yorkshire's is 13.6 %. What does that tell us? Also, by no means do many Scots prefer the concept of Nationalist doctrine or being led a merry dance into the abyss of globalist cultural marxism. Yet the sole reason Scotland now finds itself in this current state of flux is simply because Sturgeon and her cronies posses an abject hatred of England. They are diabolical. It's a genuine mystery that anyone with even a remotely functioning prefrontal cortex would vote for the SNP. Every single SNP supporter that I have encountered these past five years have never even heard of Guy Verhofstadt, nor do they fully understand that the EU is nothing more than an impotent, parasitic, paper tiger, or that the EU has three divisions with Commission, Council and Parliament. The SNP and their supporters refuse to acknowledge that membership of the EU had shackled Britain's economy to a corpse. The UK was bound by swathes of costly red tape to a plethora of moribund economies with no growth prospects, resulting in UK exporters being held back from fast growing markets of the Commonwealth and the developing world. Furthermore, leaving the EU abolished the £167 billion annual payment - the biggest single treasury expenditure. We can now stop the deliberate collapse of Sterling, stop the waste on the EU's control structures in Britain, particularly its 8,500 quangos costing common purpose control organisation and its 30,000 UK "leaders". Stop paying £100 billion annually implementing EU regulations, stop losing £35 billion annually trading with the EU and can now throw out the EU quangos in the NHS costing £50 billion per year. You know it makes sense, right? Frankie Boyle is a pretty good comedian, no question, but I'm somehow led to believe that perhaps arithmetic and the machinations of accountancy were outwith his radar whilst at school and he's never quite been able to catch up.
@@apollomemories7399Pro tip: if your intention is to direct an anecdotal, splenetic diatribe at SNP supporters, you really should do so. I am not among their number and couldn't give a toss what you or anyone else think about them
I haven't got a problem with joking about politics, but I do have an issue about joking about cancer and suicide. Not for me, far too black to be funny.
Speaking on behalf of myself who has had cancer and tried to commit suicide, I really like those kind of jokes, and so do a lot of people I interact with from either/both of those spectrums. I think its especially with the mental health side there is a natural darkness to our humour and we relate to that darker side. I also 100% know that not all comedy is for all people and I have zero issue with your opinion, I wanted to give you a point of view from my personal experiences only and how I feel about it.
I've never understood what Frankie Boyle has against Ricky Gervais, yes Gervais obviously didn't start off as a stand up comedian and his first few shows were pretty scripted and felt sort of more like solo sitcoms rather than stand up shows if I'm being completely honest, but ever since his humanity tour I really think he's turned it around and he really looks a lot more like a genuine stand up comedian. He even says he feels like he is one now where as before he didn't as much. It's just kind of frustrating because I agree with a fair few things Frankie says, although there are also some things along with this that I disagree with him on and I find some of his points of view very strange, like how he talks about how political correctness is needed to a certain extent to protect certain people, which I completely agree with him on, but he doesn't seem to really touch on how it can become corrupt and be used as an excuse to shut someone's freedom of speech down so that they're radically pseudo-leftist views are protected and promoted and where criticism of those views is shutdown, which can happen and clearly has happened. I do like how he isn't so black and white in his views and can see grey areas in certain things, I find him hilarious and I also find Gervais hilarious, but there is just some stuff he says that I just can't agree with Frankie on at all and I just can't understand what he has against Gervais so I can't agree with him on this at all either to be honest.
Frankie has always had a political opinion, just watch episodes of a show called Mock the Week with him in it... they dont like him now because of this snowflake generation.. they all of a sudden cant handle his jokes, and its sad, because they are jokes, he has always been savage, and always will be
The right wing always liked him because he did a joke with the n word. It took them a long time to work out he was mocking the arrogance of imperialism
Is there any British (or Irish) stand-up in particular who you think is better than those two? I'm not a big fan of Kevin Bridges, but I think Boyle is probably one of the best, in terms of mainstream acts you're likely to see on TV.
@@luke-alex personally at the moment I like Gary Delaney, Mickey Flanagan and Stewart Lee though I know that he is prone to waffling on a little too much. Lee's routine about Braveheart that he performed in Glasgow is a belter.
Where Kevin Bridges is maybe more in the Billy Connolly mould, Boyle is more like Lenny Bruce or George Carlin (or, as he name checks in this special, Bill Hicks). And Stewart Lee ? He's the Sex Pistols.
I'm not sure I fully agree with your opinion at the end, I think he was better years ago but it's solely based on the fact he wasn't always this political. My personal preferences, I like comedy with no politics in it because politics is everywhere these past few years and I'm just tired of it. Stand up comedy for me is a way out of the whole drama of politics. That said, he's a comedian and if I don't enjoy his work as much as I used to (I still like him) then that's my issue, not his, he's doing the comedy he likes.
@@dannydorko7075 Well, that's what the Twitch random number generator gave us. Though nothing can be worse than the poll where it was so bad it had to be redone - all home renovation shows 😂
I think you're absolutely right in your assessment. A few people have somehow got it into their heads that political incorrectness and left-wing ideology are incompatible.
Can you imagine not knowing that Frankie Boyle is on the left? It is pretty explicit. It always has been.He is working class and from Glasgow. What else would he be? A Tory?
Yeah because the left love the working class.
I think your assessment of people's criticisms is absolutely spot on.

It's just kind of frustrating because I agree with a fair few things Frankie says, although there are also some things along with this that I disagree with him on and I find some of his points of view very strange, like how he talks about how political correctness is needed to a certain extent to protect certain people, which I completely agree with him on, but he doesn't seem to really touch on how it can become corrupt and be used as an excuse to shut someone's freedom of speech down so that they're radically pseudo-leftist views are protected and promoted and where criticism of those views is shutdown, which can happen and clearly has happened. I do like how he isn't so black and white in his views and can see grey areas in certain things, I find him hilarious and I also find Gervais hilarious, but there is just some stuff he says that I just can't agree with Frankie on at all and I just can't understand what he has against Gervais so I can't agree with him on this at all either to be honest.
He's against Gervais because he knows he so much better than him
Frankie has always had a political opinion, just watch episodes of a show called Mock the Week with him in it... they dont like him now because of this snowflake generation.. they all of a sudden cant handle his jokes, and its sad, because they are jokes, he has always been savage, and always will be
I am surprised you can understand him, I have a hard time and I am English
You being you and being English and not understanding has nothing to do with how anyone else understands the accent
@@lastfirst5689 Yes
Would you do a video reacting to Sir Stevo Timothy.
Probably not. I really react to other UA-camrs.
@@taffe316 fair enough. Enjoy your content.
Frankie has always been political, pay attention fannies.
The right wing always liked him because he did a joke with the n word. It took them a long time to work out he was mocking the arrogance of imperialism
@@matthewgodding777 lmao spot on. they thought he was right wing because his humour is dark
Tough crowd
I'm Scottish from Glasgow and I've always thought he was overrated, along with Kevin Bridges.
Not saying he is never funny just average.
Is there any British (or Irish) stand-up in particular who you think is better than those two?
I'm not a big fan of Kevin Bridges, but I think Boyle is probably one of the best, in terms of mainstream acts you're likely to see on TV.
@@luke-alex personally at the moment I like Gary Delaney, Mickey Flanagan and Stewart Lee though I know that he is prone to waffling on a little too much.
Lee's routine about Braveheart that he performed in Glasgow is a belter.
@@jaygilllan7574 Interesting. I would only consider one of those three to be better than Frankie Boyle, but I appreciate you giving your perspective.
@@jaygilllan7574 Stewart lee is one of the best comedians around.
Where Kevin Bridges is maybe more in the Billy Connolly mould, Boyle is more like Lenny Bruce or George Carlin (or, as he name checks in this special, Bill Hicks). And Stewart Lee ? He's the Sex Pistols.
I'm not a fan of Frankie Boyle's comedy because it's a bit too edgy and dark for my tastes but I respect him as a person.
Get over yourself .... its only comedy 🤣
I'm not sure I fully agree with your opinion at the end, I think he was better years ago but it's solely based on the fact he wasn't always this political. My personal preferences, I like comedy with no politics in it because politics is everywhere these past few years and I'm just tired of it. Stand up comedy for me is a way out of the whole drama of politics.
That said, he's a comedian and if I don't enjoy his work as much as I used to (I still like him) then that's my issue, not his, he's doing the comedy he likes.
He was so much funnier years ago, didn't make me laugh much at all in this
The political stuff is boring now.
Frankie has let himself go a bit wow.
I never voted for this, not my video.
it was a pretty bad poll to be honest. the voice kids??
@@dannydorko7075 it was a joke but you’re right, it was only ever gonna be frankie or rab c
@@dannydorko7075 Well, that's what the Twitch random number generator gave us. Though nothing can be worse than the poll where it was so bad it had to be redone - all home renovation shows 😂
I like newer frankie.... Jokes about paedophiles get tired after a while...
He use to be funny before he went off on his left-wing ramblings.
no surprise someone with a rangers picture leaves a comment like this. havent you got an orange walk to get to?
You have embarrassed yourself with your prejudiced, sectarian, bigoted comment. Shame on you.
Totally agree with you
Sorry but he's not half as funny as he was back then.
he is even funnier i know
@@LilyKittyCatto no he used to be.
I did like him but his left wing crap isn't even funny,I wouldn't mind if it was but it just isn't
