Mock The Week

[Matt]

Which Mock the Week episode does someone I believe Frankie Boyle - although it may have been Andy Parsons - make the "Fucking...... BOO!" joke. I'm pretty sure it was on the news generator rounds, as well. A link to the video or just what else happened on that episode so I can track it down would be much appreciated.

It was Fred MacAulay talking about a football game in Scotland.

It can be found Here!

Forward it to 4 minutes and it should be there.

I love you... in a heterosexual way. Thanks much.

British comedy/starical gameshow kind of thing...basically degenerates into a stand-up challenge, and there's no actual point structure...Dara (the host) basically just says who wins whatever rounds. One week I actually remember Frankie and Hugh's team winning all the rounds, but Andy Parson's team won the show...but nobody actually cares about that.

And it's fucking hilarious.

Ah. I've been watching it on YouTube and it's fucking hilarious. Just as you said above.

Am I the only one that finds this show too scripted? I know stuff like HIGNFY and NMTB are scripted as well, but they seem to just use it as a base whilst this feels like everything's been rehearsed beforehand?

The best round is always the "What they're really saying" round. It may be really short, and the same two guys (Hugh and Frankiw) doing it every week, but it's fucking genius.

Edit: 'Between The Lines', that's the name of the round. Half the time Hugh doesn't even need to say anything. >_>

I laughed at the link, then I decided to watch the first part of that episode.. that joke about Kennedy was fucking harsh.

What I've discovered from this series:

Frankie Boyle is hilarious.

That young lad tries too hard.

Frankie is funny as hell, but I think that Russell is quite good as well.

The lad is too real life funny. He's just like the kind of person you'd find in real life...as are lots of the guests. Whereas the likes of Frankie Boyle, Hugh Dennis and Andy Parsons (Who delivery is IMMENSE) are just so quick and amazingly witty....not trying to be big headed, but I could probably go on there and do what Russell is doing. As most of his comedy comes from the 'banter' aspect, when he plays off other people and stuff...not reall 'gags', mostly.
