Caught 20 minutes of this crap. Bascially 20 minutes of calling people (the royal family, anyone right of centre) racist and that's comedy. Well it's what expect.
Hohohohohoho

Missed the first 10 which I think was about Israel,  just caught the last minute of it, was it as bad as I presume it would be, like neglecting the fact we now know that the huge majority of those shot were proven terrorists, and full of the usual hand wringing leftie angst?

(Didn't boyle used to actually be funny sometimes, before he went up his own political ar&e and became a slow speaking rude Ben Elton for the 2010s)?

Looking at the panel: His buddy the shockingly unfunny hard left winger Corbyn fan Pascoe, Omnipresent Ryan (who IS funny and intelligent and has the sense to stay on the fence), an asian woman whose contribution was some snowflake comment about the Royal family and slavery (just googled, writes for the Guardian? "that ****ing figures"), and a gay guy. I think the allegation of "BBC Box Ticking Exercise" stands up a damn sight better than continous stream of tedious "The Royal Family are racists who hate the poor".

I just feel people getting constantly upset by tv programmes - the very essence of gammons really - a bit weird. Just don't watch it.

I find The Last Leg unfunny. Question Time and the Today programme are unbearable trash. If I want to catch the news I'll usually find it somewhere but have no specific preferences. Thing is if I don't like something I'll do something else. I can't stand soaps but I'm not going to sit through them to constantly remind myself why. Such a waste of time and energy.

To be fair it's balanced. The leftie remoners have the likes of this crap, the Daily Mash, the Last Leg, Mock the Week, 8 out of 10 lefties, HIGNFY these days, etc, all getting stuck into leave voters and anyone who isn't left of centre, and the majority of the country, the leavers, and the tory voters who voted for the government have these fantastic pro Brexit shows and comedians, slagging off remoaners and Corbyn:
*tumbleweed*

There was one right wing comedian who used to regularly appear on the BBC, then the snowflakes launched a social media campaign to get him banned and he's not been on the BBC since, so it's back to a homogenous "100% leftie/remoaner" playing field.

Rejoice, leave voting license fee payers, the majority of the country, rejoice, this is fairness!

Indeed IS. It's the sort of stupid statement I'm afraid we've come expect from the left though. I obviously don't have the figures in front of me but unlike the left, I'm quite astoundingly smart! Wink
So what do we know?
1. They keep saying older voters were far more likely to vote leave than the young. The remoaners loudly saying this very loudly.
2. They also say that TV is now a "dying" medium predominantly watched by older folk as younger people have ditched it for social media/youtube/the internet/taking selfies until they get RSI.

The only LOGICAL conclusion to draw is that in reality leave voters are the bulk of TV watchers, and therefore assuming a correlation between those who watch TV and those paying for licenses (and lets face it no student has ever bought a tv license, EVER), then leave voters are in fact paying to be insulted and have their views disenfranchised...

So he criticised several panel shows and got into subsequent arguments with people from them.



Should the producers of bbc programmes be obliged to invite him on solely because he's right wing and they should overlook the fact he's a bellend who slagged them all off?

I'm surprised Boyle wasn't ditched completely after his sketch shows bombed badly.
He did some referendum stuff but that was poor as well.
Controversy seems his only talent now.
Personally I'd have banned him sine die for his comments about KPs son.
This current stuff was funny in parts but I think the main guests apart from the Canadian comic were poor.
Decent format but would prefer another host.

Boyle has done some really good stuff over the years, been to a few of his shows and he is great value - I think he got sick of telling no bheads in the front row to phuck off so has developed a more sophisticated approach

Lawrence was average at best - he wanted to be seen as a martyr for the right wing, but he wasnt on telly cos he wasnt very good

Point stands however though : We have quite a number of "comedy" shows where overtly political preachy people slag off and insult the majority of the country, and there is not a single one or even notable comedian that's even slightly the other way. I had high hopes for the Daily Mash and it's awful. The Last Leg is one big long unwatchable very left wing remoaner sermon. Lefties don't need to go to church, they can watch that and have all their beliefs confirmed. There's this. 8 out of 10 cats as I remember after Corbyn lost (or was it Brexit, one of the two!) was one long tantrum, I switched it off, and I normally like it. (8 out of 10 does countdown is fantastic though, always watch it, Lock, Carr, Richardson are all extremely good comedians).

I thought the last series of Daily Mash was actually really good. First one was a bit hit and miss but seemed to find its legs then. Just don't find the Last Leg funny at all so avoid it.


Fact is, comedy has always been left wing. Just a simple unavoidable fact. You're going to struggle to make jokes where immigrants, the poor etc are the butt of the joke. Seriously. If someone could pull that off - and if that person was not a member of said group - then he'd be doing very well indeed.


I think the second truth is that a lot of right wingers are just so humourless. Seriously. Just spend some time here or on twitter and see. I think that's part of the whole gammon thing. So many are just a certain type of guy who are just angry at everything but don't have the slightest bit of wit about them. There's no sarcasm, no irony. Just frothing.


Not all I'll grant you, but enough that it's a bit of a theme.

Panel and comedy shows are now full of unfunny people who are there on a gender/diversity tick box. Bit unfair to single out about the only 2 right of centre comedians named and say they are crap. In your opinion. Strangely an obvious huge discrepency in ballancing things up, showing a non left wing comedian, don't appear to have a tick box at the BBC/C4.

Russell Howard used to have a show on BBC3 that slowly moved from funny clips to him disappearing up his own ar*e and having very one sided biased unfair if not incorrect righteous leftie rants, but he disappeared I'd presumed just iPlayer. Well in todays Metro the oh so righteous c)ckwomble has a piece, he's got a show on Sky. In his piece he tals about taking on: Trump, May, Boris, Reese Mogg. Then the advert for his show talks about him taking on Trump and Brexit.

What a ****ing surpsise. Well how ****ing ground breaking that is. Trump and Brexit rants from a leftie "comedian". Hold the press.

How about a big biased angry rant about the fact the opposition are a pair of marxist scumbags and the shadow chancellor says his goal in life is to bring down Capitalism? When oh when will that happen?
