Chicofan Posted August 31, 2012 Report Share Posted August 31, 2012 See he is in the news again for making jokes about the paraolympians. Whats the views on him on here? I think he's a fckn prick! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guy Incognito Posted August 31, 2012 Report Share Posted August 31, 2012 I heard that he made a joke about the Saudi Paralympics team, which was along the lines of them all being thieves (a reference to the Sharia practice of chopping thieves' hands off). I would say it was more of dig at that particular barbaric practice than disabled people in general. I must admit, his comment about Rebecca Adlington having an unfair advantage as a swimmer because her face is shaped like a dolphin's did make me laugh.

The Future Is Unwritten Posted September 1, 2012 Report Share Posted September 1, 2012 The best (and I hope unintentional) para olympics joke I overhead was a Channel 4 advert about the end of the torch relay coming into London the other day was, "Catch the last leg live here on Channel 4". Cosgrove you're comedy gold, same as yer team! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His show was just off the cuff humour. with a few stories thrown in here and there. He's very good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norman Posted September 3, 2012 Report Share Posted September 3, 2012 See he is in the news again for making jokes about the paraolympians. Whats the views on him on here? I think he's a fckn prick! He was a lot funnier when he had to operate under the constraints of the BBC. Nowadays, he just seems desperate to provoke anyone for attention. A bit like your mate who's quite funny with 3 or 4 drinks in him, but is an annoyingly loud liability when he's had a few too many. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norman Posted September 3, 2012 Report Share Posted September 3, 2012 Was using a general analogy rather than specifying one of your acquaintances. As far as I'm aware, I don't know you or who your friends are, However, we've all got one of those friends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrantB Posted September 3, 2012 Report Share Posted September 3, 2012 I like Frankie. He's still got a long way to go before he's as offensive as Jerry Sadowiz though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KAWB Posted September 5, 2012 Report Share Posted September 5, 2012 Love him. He sets out to be offensive, thats his gig and if you can't handle it don't entertain it and go elsewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
