My favourite American comedians. Reginald D Hunter and Steve Wright.

I'll happily concede that lots of people think Boyle is funny, he's just not for me but those animal rights memes that Ricky Gervais seems to love are hilarious for all the wrong reasons. Very David Brent.

Love that nickname! Sid James claimed he was once a boxer but apparently, the only fight he ever had was with a black cab driver in London who made some anti-Semitic comments not knowing that Sid James was Jewish.

I know it's all about opinions but I don't see much difference between Frankie Boyle nowadays and Bernard Manning except for the racism.
