Billy Connolly - a funny man but has he gone too far this time ?

[Rougvie]

anyone going to see jerry sadowitchz (sp?) this month.

now THAT will offend you

Class act PETER, I saw him when I was a student in Aberdeen and a group of 'feminists' started heckling him his response was...

Why has the bird with no tits got a little wispy moustache.....

...so you know where to aim when you punch her

LEGEND

 

[METALMICKY]

too much of the PC brigade around these days.

To be critical of Connolly's comments has nothing to do with political correctness. Is all about common decency and compassion.

He's a twat. I like tasteless jokes but it wasn't even funny. Never liked him anyway.

 

[looney]

Professional comedians HAVE to push the boundaries of what's acceptable as humour. OK, he overstepped the mark here, but he's only human.

why do they have to be profesional? Who's a Pro?

They'll cut bigleys head of a week before the General election so the mindless idiots in the UK will blame Blair.

Connoly was probably right even though it was a sick crack.

my friend saw him at the corn exchange/dome a few months ago i think it was.

the place was almost empty by the end!!

Regardless of the acceptability of the joke, I'm not sure what made him think it'd be funny ... It can barely be called a gag - it's just a crap joke.

 

[aftershavedave]

never been funny, never will be. complete twat.

 

[Simster]

A very hit and miss comedian in my view, and totally overrated, a bit like Jasper "I was behind a Skoda on the motorway last night" Carrott.

This comment was crass, unfunny, insensitive and complete shite. What a f***ing tool.

 

[Nobby Nomates]

In a word - Yes

 

[Tom Bombadil]

Aargh, a thread for all the closet Connolly haters to come out of the wood work.

Still it sounds like he made a pretty crass comment and should apologise.

Still we should forgive him, he's the godfather of stand-up in this country. Without Connolly we'd be stuck with nothing but Jim Davidson's telling one's about the mother-in-law

 

[South Stand Zealot]

Now that we know Ken Bigley has been murdered in such a sadistic way I wonder if Mr Connolly is now regretting his little "joke" !

 

[Safeway]

Always preferred Bernard Manning myself.

 

[BUTTERBALL]

Connolly overstepped the mark - the thing is - judging from this reaction to the media - he knows it.
