Is Frankie Boyle that "comedian" that recently did a stand-up gig and made crude jokes about children with down's syndrome and then started having a go at a member of the audience for not laughing, only to be told by that member of the audience that she had a child with down's syndrome? Hmmm...

It is but he's basically ripped off the genius that is Jerry Sadowitz's act.I like him though.He's an ex-alcoholic.Best part in his book is when he says he was that bored one day,he shaved all the hair off his wife's dog and laid it in a dog shape on the carpet for her to come back from work to.He got divorced.He's also mates with the bloke who plays Archie the Inventor in Ballamory who is also an adult comedian.I never knew that.

The Frankie Boyle show which Mac is in - 'Tramadol Nights' - starts tonight at 10pm on Channel 4 in the UK. I haven't seen the finished product, but from what I've heard this will be Mac as we've never seen him before. (Not sure which episode he's in, but I'll try to find out.)

I've heard a centaur, a body double, and the phrase 'Come In My Eye' are involved, with Mac in the role of storyteller. Should be worth watching.

That's probably the weirdest thing I've ever seen. I can't help but think of King Of Kings when I see it.

Reminded me a bit of Steve Coogan's Dr Terrible's House of Horrible. Much more crude humour though. Pity the programme is not available outside the UK, the sketch fits in nicely with our warped sense of humour on here.

Looks like he missed a chance to advertise some VT undies.

That was the bit that I nearly choked myself to death with laughter. Mac on the wheel (obviously a body double there) with the centaur licking his nipple, glimpsing up at the camera looking kind of saucy, while Mac starts singing the chorus of Bring On the Dancing Horses. The actual story was quite good as well, if not twisted.

Fucking ace!What a great sketch and twisted story.Bizarre.Sorry ladies that wasnt Mac's real bod at the end!The show is a bit hit and miss but I loved the Prof on indecency sketch and the 'pussy' monster on the show before it.I know its childish but you cant help but laugh at blue puppets being disgusting!'My hairy goblet'.lol.

Best stand up line ..'hasnt it been a great year for people going fucking mental and killing people?'.

I have watched all the series so far out of curiosity as I know little about Frankie Boyle. His stand-up routines at the beginning and the end of the show haven't been that funny, but some of the sketches have been crazy. That pussy monster gag was mental. "I am not the cookie monster, unless cookie means black pussy". Seemed to be a lot of cum gags in last night's two episodes even down to that Thomas the tank engine spoof. I quite liked that spoof of the Psammead and that schizo bloke thinking he is Knight Rider in the first episode.

I think Knight Rider has been the best sketch so far.And far too many spunk endings agreed.But for twisted morose puppets,I think the Pussy monster beats Orville hands down.I think two episodes on the trot means CH4 want it to end soon but fairplay for televsion showing that stuff.Otherwise we'd be stuck with unfunny moronic pricks like Michael Mcintryre telling 'jokes' about Costa Coffee menus.Whether its funny or not we need humour like this to challenge the norm.Russell Howard playing TWO nights at the NEC.Thats 36000 idiots overpaying for someone who should play the Red Lion pub somewhere.

It certainly beats some of the politically correct humour shit that passes off as comedy these days. I haven't cringed and laughed at comedy at the same time for quite a while.
