Mock the Week - Serious, Risky and Heroic

This is the extended version of a round of "If This Is The Answer, What Is The Question?" from Mock the Week, probably Britain's most popular panel show right now. This was from episode five of series five.
Frankie Boyle, master of the blackest of black humour, suddenly decides to take a different spin during this round of gameplay.
Sadly missing from this clip is a great exchange that did make the final edit, with Hugh Dennis delivering a brutal quick-witted putdown to American Jimmy Tingle that went something like:
JIMMY: They put a flag there and claim they own it. Who do they think they are, the British?
HUGH: Of course, the Americans own the moon...

When Frankie Boyle takes the high ground, you know shit’s gone down

@donaloflynn 4 жыл бұрын

The thing about Frankie is that he's an extremely nice guy who outside of his comedy, is very moral. Meanwhile there are comedians whose material is much cleaner who are complete arseholes off stage.

Are they opposites? They both rely on wit and barbs, they’re both very well read and clever, and they’ve both made rather shocking comedy (David less so than Frankie, admittedly, but that doesn’t make him Frankie’s opposite necessarily).

@dig8634 3 жыл бұрын

@@JimmySteller Frankie is very controversial and uses taboo a lot more than David does. While David might not be unfamiliar with dark humor, he is definitely perceived as the more serious and nerdy comedian, which would be quite a distant from Frankie's style.

I had to get it out first, too; I mean, I knew where it had made its way to and all, but it took me a solid 40 minutes to pull it out of the crack of my flabby ass without pulling a muscle. Christ, I'm probably a cannibal's wet dream by now, a nice marbled flank steak. I could feed a family of eight indigenous Alaskans for a solid three weeks.
