Great show, miss Frankie, BBC are a bunch of cunts that don't understand comedy.

BBC understand comedy, let's see there's Monty Python, Fawlty Towers, Red Dwarf, to name just several classic comedy shows known and admired around the world. Blackadder, Porridge, Absolutely Fabulous, Only Fools and Horses, Morecambe and Wise, One Foot in the Grave, The Two Ronnies, The Young Ones, Fry and Laurie, My Family, 'Allo 'Allo, Yes Minister, The Vicar of Dibley, Two Pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps, I could go on and on and on but I think I've established the trend... The BBC also spends a lot of money promoting new and established comedians performing at large venues like the Apollo, and also runs the BBC New Comedy Awards annual ceremony which is considered one of the highlights of the comedy calendar. Frankie is a gem and a fellow Scot so I'm biased in favour of him but let's not forget he left comedy behind of his own accord. Can't blame the BBC for that.
In fact if you're going to slag off the BBC the least you can do is come live over here for a year and pay your TV licence fee so a) you're contributing, and b) you actually have a leg to stand on if you're going to make ludicrous and offensive claims.


You're naming classic comedies that shaped the world...and do not apply in this discussion (The good ones, not the shit you listed). Just don't even bother making an argument next time if you're going to produce strawmen like this. Monty Python and Fawlty Towers are amazing...AND OLD! Really fucking old and were made at a time where the BBC wasn't run the way it's run now.

Frankie was constantly harassed and treated like shit on Mock the Week by it's Producers because they kept getting complaints from stupid people who think their opinion matters. Frankie was the funniest part of that fucking show, the BBC took him away, so YES they don't understand that saying offensive things is a comedians job. You don't have the right to not be offended.

I'm glad you're offended because you're fucking wrong. The BBC used to produce seriously funny shit...some of the most cherished shows ever. Now they produce crap, because it's an upside down pyramid of executives noting shows to death and killing the funny parts of others because some mother called in to complain.

You are whats wrong with humanity. You're a lowly wretch who defends morons who ruin things for the rest of us. Why don't you go work for NBC you evil monster.

Louis CK is the most overrated comic since letterman. He thinks he's edgy and is not at all.


You think he thinks he is edgy. How the hell do you know what he is thinking.

Actually I know a LOT about Pootie Tang. I know all about how the project was taken out of his hands because the studio was afraid it'd lose money (which it did anyway). I'm not saying it would've been better had he done it, nor that he regrets the project because he learned so much while doing it, but once somebody takes control of a project, they have to assume some of the responsibility.>> ^Trancecoach:

dude already left the business... ever heard of Pootie Tang?

Louis strikes me as the type of guy that will leave the business before others think he's ready. I think that once he's out of shit to say or he's not having fun anymore he'll disappear (or shift his efforts)>> ^Yogi:
Don't worry Louis you were right and it's all downhill from here.

He never repeats his material after he does a special. He credits George Carlin for inspiring him to trash his material and start anew after every bit is perfected. Unlike comedians like Jerry Seinfeld that just tell the same jokes with the precision of a "technician". That would get old to me.>> ^Aniatario:

I dunno if he's going to run out of ideas any time soon, he's just that good. That, and the fact that he takes a tremendous amount of inspiration from George Carlin. I remember reading his response to his recent success surrounding his "Live at the Beacon" performance. Much like Carlin, he approaches every performance as though it were his "annual crop." Reaping the fruits of his labour and then moving on to work on a brand new routine.

He actually took the time to address a few questions on reddit recently and I remember him saying that he has no plans of performing any of the jokes he prepared for his "Live at the Beacon" performance. The fact that he continues to pump out new and hilarious material as opposed to riding out a gravy train is pretty phenomenal.
