yeah well his queen joke gained controversy hell it was on the news.

[Sheizenhammer]

WHAT!!! Which worthless bunch of cunts complained about him this time!?

Although, this probably just means he'll do more of his own shows, which are usually better than the stuff he has to play the guest as (like mock the week and most of the other stuff he does).

Also, links plz?

I'm pretty sure he left by his own accord.

He got off with it, because it was "Things the Queen would Not say"

[Diddy]

It was coming, his material is too "on the moral line" for the BBC to keep endorsing.

And to whoever said he left of his own accord, that is complete BULLSHIT, he would have been kicked off by the programme director after the BBC committee verified the newest complaints about him.

[SuspiciousPenguin]

I thought he quit, and tbh i'm not a big fan of his humor anyway. He's stopped being funny and is now just trying to be outrageous (spelt like a retard)

Couldn't have put it better myself, I completely agree. He has pretty much tarnished himself in the comedy world as he has time and time again tried to outdo his last insulting gag etc

[Chilliconcarne]

People just don't get jokes anymore.

That's not what I read. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/nort h_east/8287297.stm

Some of his jokes are good but overall I find him too cocky anyway.

[TheMaster]

He wasn't kicked off, he just left to do other shit.

I just finished reading his autobiography. Apparently he has a sketch show in the works.

In his defense, the topic was unlikely things for her to say.

true but you know the media making a mountain out of a mole hill.

[Gagsy]

I'm sorry to see that he is leaving the show. He gives me about 75% of the laughs.

The only person who could replace him is David Mitchell. He's the only person better than Boyle at panel shows.

There are so many panel shows in this country, it's amazing. I do like David Mitchell, he;s really funny... he has this tendency to talk over people sometimes, but I suppose that's the only way to really be heard when there are five other people around as well.

I really like Phil Jupitus on panel shows and find Dara Ó Briain hilarious.

Never heard of him.

[Ejit]

Is that a pun in the title?

I've never seen the appeal of dara, I just don't find him that funny. Jupitus is amazing, same with johnny vegas.

[dogpup4]

Dammit, he was one of my favourites. WHY COULDN'T IT BE HUGH DENNIS!?

At least we still have Russell Howard.

Definately, I'm so relieved at least a certain populace of Newgrounds liked him. I was fearful the moment he was brought up people would complain about him. This is good. David Mitchell is brilliant.

[CibaG]

Peep Show is pretty good but David Mitchell on panel shows? Meh.

Frankie Boyle's stand-up is much better than his work on MTW. This is ultimately good news because he'll probably be doing more stand-up now.

I don't really find any of the regulars on Mock the Week to be that funny. It will always be a poor mans Have I Got News For You.

Johnny Vegas is really funny, I've only ever seen him on QI, but he's tells the best stories.. and his delivery is fantastic.

Yes, yes I do.

Also David Mitchell would be good. Just hope whoever they choose to be in his place is worth tuning in for.

[Mechabloby]

The man will find something to do while he's off of Mock The Week and that will be just as good. That controversy about the Queen joke was fucking stupid: the round name was "Things the Queen WOULDN'T SAY", and he fucking supplied.

I want Frankie Boyle to abuse my children.
