Scummy is probably a good word to use. Among the more famous jokes on Mock The Week, you have the Heath Ledger one, the Diana one, the Richard Hammond ones and others. Some of it is pretty offensive stuff but still kinda funny.

Ill give his stand up another go at some point but I was just let down by it after Mock The Week.

I'm a big fan of the dark twisted humour, the more offensive the better. There doesn't seem to be enough of it about for my liking. :(

Even though when you really think about it and you comprehend the morality behind it, that kind of humour is just disgusting.. But the humour is like its own twisted little world. People who get offended shouldn't, it's not directed at them, that's why I don't get offended at jokes about males. :D

Don't bother with his stand up, it's mainly recycled Mock the Week jokes.. I never really thought the Richard Hammond joke was funny or offensive :confused: the one about the Glasgow airport? He had a car crash around that time and he linked the two didn't he?

I dont think anything or at least many things should be off limits when it comes to comedy. Complainers who write or email to TV networks because they dont like the content of a show just bug me. If you're offended, turn over and stfu. I dont get offended very easily but when I checked out Boyles stand up I just thought it was cheap and yes, recycled. Ive been watching alot of videos on Youtube over the last couple of days though so I might give it another go.

The Richard Hammond one im thinking of was this one



And yeah, incase you didnt know or cant remember this is what he was referring to.

Richard Hammond - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Spot on, people have the right to be offended, I don't think any joke has offended me.. You remember the Jimmy Carr one? That went too far for me, but not in a woah, I'm gonna moan about it kind of way, you just go 'well, that wasn't funny/it was in bad taste.. next joke..'

Oooh yeah, I remember now :D
