I’m not really even much offended on the behalf of other people. Misquotes aside, it’s fair to say that everyone reporting on Boyle’s ‘offensive’ jokes seemed to agree on one thing: that the BBC was right to axe him from their programme, as the comedian’s words were so awful they didn’t deserve to be repeated on air. Our journalists will try to respond by joining the threads when they can to create a true meeting of independent Premium. Yet apparently the journalist writing the story wasn’t really at the gig, because what Boyle actually said was that, regarding the Pope (and not the Queen): “they should have just filled his hat with helium so that he stands up straight.”. Why the uproar? Some comedians make a living being offensive. That without their voice saying these things some vital part of public discourse would be missing. I respect anybody who can do it well. I don't think Hedburg worked blue very often... Gabriel Iglesias is darn funny with a bare minimum of swearing (if any - that stuff does not bother me much if used properly - so maybe I just forgot it - though I can not remember any in his stand up).

You’ve got plenty of offensive jokes. Is it? Get ready to laugh as you remember some of these comedians’ most off-color moments. Because, as he so rightly stated in between two undeniably offensive jokes, “jokes aren’t even positions on something – a joke is a proposition.” And in case you’re wondering, that’s a direct quote – but there’s a good chance that all the other quotes you read from Boyle’s short routine were either incorrectly edited, censored or just plain wrong.

If people really found their jokes so awful, surely they wouldn't want them shared any further? Last week, one writer for The Telegraph called for a public boycott of Frankie Boyle, and I’ll bet Boyle was over the moon about it – after all, a comedian who’s made his name being rude can’t buy that kind of PR! You have no items in your cart. But what Boyle actually said was: “I can't believe she is pregnant to be honest, because she told me she was on the fucking pill.” Ten points if you can spot the word that went missing.
