Frankie Boyle's New World Order

This show features Frankie Boyle doing what he does best, edgy humor and cultural commentary

I think this show is slightly inconsistent at times, as any show can be that relies heavily on guests in a sort of interview format. And I will freely admit he gets little too explicit and blunt with the sex references for me, and will therefore turn off many viewers, but it is still one of the funniest shows on television.

And as someone from the U.S., to me a few of the cultural references leave me in the dust, not to mention the Welsh accents (the subtitles are pretty slow sometimes also). But I get most of it. My favorite line during this series was when he was talking about Brexit, quoting a line some people use that "we got through the war, didn't we?" and Frankie comments that probably the most famous thing about the war was that a lot of people didn't get through it. Funny stuff.

I don't go to Frankie Boyle's show for hard news; I tune in for laughs, and its wry look at strange videos they dig up for our edification. And the improvisational nature of the conversation is hilarious with only an occasional misfire.

I see Frankie Boyle's humor as ranging across the political spectrum, and fairly evenly at that, so there is stuff here for all of us to take offence at.
