Mock the week

ziedth

anyone watch this the other night, i think if i was mates with frankie boyle i'd never leave him alone.

Anyone see dara lately? Jesus the lad has lost some weight.

Oh also, dara has a live show on rte tonight at half 10. Should be worth a look.

frankie boyle is on that show too isnt he? i love mock the week, if they had david mitchell on it, it would be perfect!

I love Mock the Week and am delighted its back. Frankie Boyle great as ever. Check out his MySpace page, he left the Daily Record as they wouldnt publish column featuring Michael Jackson jokes. Glad to see Frank Skinner involved.

Oh and Daire has indeed lost weight and his refernce to it not been Loose Women and he wouldnt discuss it was funny.

This is Live at the Apollo, surely you know of it if you know Mock the Week, both have been on BBC and Dave in the past?

Ya i know it's mad cause i'm a bit of a telly hound but no never heard of it till last night.

I'd love to see sean lock on the mock the week panel i think him and frankie would be comical. I think andy and to a lesser extent russel are kinda weak at the stand up bits.

Mock The Week was fantastic this week. Brilliant stuff. Didn't know it was back until I saw this thread.

Yeah, luckily happened to catch it near the start. Love this show. Could have done without Frank Skinner though.

Repeated tonight at 23.40

I thought it was very good and I thought Frank Skinner did well but the crowd didn't seem all that into him. That Russell guy does bug me though.

Russel Howard is my most hated comedian of all those panel shows, he's followed closely by the bald loud guy Andy Parsons who is also on mock the week. If I could replace those two with Sean Lock and Jimmy Carr, that would be the perfect show.

I could not agree more my friend, the only comedian who i thought was worse then andy parsons was dave spikey, if you watch him on 8 out of 10 cats he sets himself up for his own random ass jokes that have nothing todo with the question.

I think russell does OK on the discussion parts but his scenes we'd like to see bits are pretty much always poor.

Sean Lock and Jimmy Carr would be epic.

I always thought Russel Howard was one of the better people to appear on it. An example of **** was last weeks token female.

Russel Howard's contributions consist of a lot of random shouting, he isn't that funny.

She is a very popular comedian
I dont rate her myself(as if she'd care)

Her set is basically
White people racist (laugh)
Men sexist(women laugh)
Black people brilliant (laugh)
Women brilliant (women laugh)

OOOh and raise voice for the punchlines, for timing purposes due to the material not really being strong enough to stand up on its own

Someone should tell him he is getting a bit old to be shouting poo
He is getting to the stage where his laughts are girls tittering cause they fancy him:eek::o
Radio show on BBC6 was good(was double act though)

Does anyone remember Frankie Boyle's first joke on MTW?

Was it the 50 nights one? Think it was something like "The headstart that Stephen Hawking would be given for the London Marathon". Can't remember it word for word.

Cheers Mr. Nice Guy, think that was it.
