I did chuckle at the gags quoted in this article, so what, I think its funny....
Is it appropriate, no. But if it makes you laugh, it is comedy isnt it?

Curate' egg, good in parts. Sometimes he goes too far, other times far too far. then sometimes he's funny.

Agree with Mick NGO cracks me up every time I see it, O/H hates it. F B does push the boundaries a bit, but so did Bernard Manning and many others Its just that in this ridiculous PC world we live in you can't say boo without offending someone and I sometimes think that's why he does it.

[emmie]

i used to find him funny, but don't much now..

[mrs_overall]

I think he an be hysterically funny but I can see how people are offended by him.

BTW - jd_1984, it is nice to see you have a post that hasn't been removed lol

[EvianBaby]

Sometimes he's funny, sometimes he's not.

The things he says don't offend me, they just don't make me laugh that much.

[MadMen]

Just read about that. I laughed.

I think people are over-sensitive and too afraid of being non PC.

[GetOverIt]

I've got all his DVDs, read all his books, and make sure I watch any programme he's on. For me, I find bland comedians like Michael McIntyre EXTREMELY offensive.

[Graham-W]

I find him very funny.
As with some others, he pushes the boundaries just as far as they will go, and sometimes a little further. I think he is to comedy, what M & M was to rapping. Very clever and gets people talking about them. Like Frankie Goes to Hollywod a ban is like gold-dust.
As they say, no publicity is bad publicity.

[joggerjayne]

He offends a lot of people.

But, as they say ...

Just because you're offended, it doesn't always mean you're right.

[Noth43]

Far too many people are over sensitive these days. Seems you cant say anything any more.

[Baldric]

Very funny imo, he pushes the bounderies, but surely that's his job?

[B00]

Nope, not funny in the slightest.

His jokes, are crass and in bad taste and are set out to offend which they do.

whats wrong with being offended?

[China Doll]

Yeah, I find him funny. Not all his jokes (I don't think I find ALL of any comedieans jokes funny - maybe Mickey Flanagans) but he was hillarious on mock the week.

[erin-x]

I like him. I just wonder what people's perceptions of him would be if he didn't have the thick Weegie accent......

[erin-x]

Oh there's nothing wrong with his accent! Hell... am fae Fife!! Lol!

I'm just saying, if he sounded like Michael would people be as offended?

[ladybirder]

FB is vile. Not funny at all.
