Gareeh Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 Not as predictable as Muse. Aaaaaanyway, how did this thread get so many pages worth of discussion? There really isn't much discussion to be had about it really. if you think this wasn't bound to get a few pages of replies... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dominic. Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 I hadn't thought of that but I think you are just trying to be clever and qualify it. They are sometimes recorded. Plus, oh opposite to live? Oh hahahahahaha! That is hilarious! Um........Not.....Nah.. I think to the general public, and not muse-obsessed fans, the joke would've been quite funny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a-museing Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 his jokes are lame and have been since everybody starting liking him on mock the week, then he realised it, now he thinks he can say whatever and get away with it. Yet when someone says something slightly negative about him, he throws a tantrum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

God forbid Frankie or the NMTB writers have to endure the wrath of angry obsessed muse fans, they have the single power of rigging any poll. True Facts.

funkadelic Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 I think to the general public, and not muse-obsessed fans, the joke would've been quite funny I don't care that it was about Muse. I just don't think Frankie Boyle is funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArtsyChick Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 Yes, Muse fans will take extra offense, but... he didn't simply say he didn't like Muse... he said, outright, that people want them dead. Not the music, the actual guys in the band (if am I understanding it right). That's quite harsh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the music, the actual guys in the band (if am I understanding it right). That's quite harsh. It's more than quite harsh, but I don't think he really meant it. Still unnecessary though and not even funny. If it was funny, then maybe people would have let him off! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shadowkay Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 Is this another stick to bash comedy with then? The more people complain about something like this, the less likely production companies are to push the boundaries, making comedy as a whole less funny and very bland. Also, did you people not watch south park? Its ok to joke about AIDs now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was funny, then maybe people would have let him off! In all honesty I dont think he genuinely meant it, Im sure in real life as a real person he's probably quite nice and doesnt share that opinion. As a Muse Fan myself I wasnt bothered by it, I laughed and then I moved on. If people dont like the joke thats fine of course but just move on from it like a rational being please dont turn into reactionary daily mail like readers.

Hat Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 I think most people realise that. Unless they're very stupid. Well all these "I would never wish death upon someone even if I hated them" are very silly. Hate has nothing to do with it, it was a joke. A bad one, but still a joke.

I've had no respect for Frankie Boyle's 'humour' since I read about this: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1264725/Frankie-Boyle-Downs-syndrome-jokes-provoke-victims-mother.html Yes, the story has a Daily Mail spin on it but the mother's quotes should be accurate.

Zaphod Chizzlebrox Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 Never Mind The Buzzcocks has always been about ripping into every band/artist out there, regardless of who's presenting it. The AIDS joke would have been written beforehand, it had fuck all to do with Frankie Boyle, hence why he's reading it from the autocue. It's only because it's Frankie Boyle it's suddenly "news" Yeah, I mean nobody's making a massive fuss about when Chris Packham was on the show and kept getting accused of bestiality and all that...
