DVD Description
Frankie Boyle’s Tramadol Nights is a six-part series that mixes Frankie’s outrageous and often controversial stand up with pre-filmed sketches in which he picks apart all aspects of modern life. Everything is given a uniquely Frankie spin – scabrous, sharp and scathing – a no holds barred comedy that promises everything you already know and love about Frankie with even more added bite.
Among the sketches in the new series is ‘Untitled Street’: a new BBC soap opera which is so politically correct that actor’s faces are blanked out to avoid causing offence and plots are so ambiguous that the viewers have guess for themselves what it’s all about. Others include ‘Columbian Showbiz News’, where anyone who’s anyone is invariably shot dead before they make it to the red carpet and a new documentary ‘Life in the 2050 house’. Is it all living with robots? Not quite. Boyle satirizes everything we love and loathe about British culture, mixing sketches with stand-up and delivering unadulterated comedy that’s not the faint-hearted. The UK’s most fearless and uncompromising comic at the top of his game, expect brass neck and belly laughs in abundance.

HATE THE WEEK,
By mister joe "mister joe" (Herts) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Frankie Boyle's Tramadol Nights [DVD] (DVD)
Things are so bad in comedy nowadays i have resorted to becoming a Frankie Boyle fan.Stand up comedy is fast becoming the career choice of the privately educated silver spoon dangling from their mouth middle classes who would've otherwise embarked on a gilded career in finance.Perpetual guests on woeful panel shows,recycling their 5 year old material on endless Dave repeats these performing chimps from you're Russell Howards to Andy Parsons now play to 10,000 people in various enormo domes round the country.Blimey i remember when Newman And Baddiel playing Wembley Arena was a cultural event. Even bottom of the barrel Al Murray can do it nowadays.Arena comedy sponspored by Dave. Richard Pyror and Bill Hicks would be spinning in their graves. In this soulless context a hateful,spiteful comedian like Frankie Boyle becomes a valid proposition.Almost needed. When watching Tramadol Nights i WANTED to be offended...blimey anything other then midly amused. I am tired of hearing routines concerning chicken shops,asking for directions,hoodies.....the retinas of a modern audience have been scorched by images of unlawful wars,riots,corrupt politicians and this wet behind the ears material just simply doesn't cut it. The laughter at a Frankie Boyle gig is far more uncomfortable,awkward rather then the moronic laughter of the masses at some gig at Wembley where the audience have paid 50 quid to see some auto cued mannequin deliver another harmless insipid,vapid routine.Just laughing to get their moneys worth. Frankie Boyle is no Lenny Bruce but seems to be the only comedian who doesn't court acceptance or popularity.He seemingly wants to invite derision and outrage.Good on em.I doubt you will be hearing Boyle providing a nice cheeky voice over for investment adverts.Hate Boyle,loathe Boyle,like Boyle...at least hes a comedian that illicits SOMETHING.I found it slighty cathartic to laugh at frankly awful things,otherwise you'd cry. As a country we get the comedians we deserve,Boyle is one.... who hopefully will continue to gob in our moronic,googled,facebooked slackjawed faces.I hope his new stand up tour this year cranks up the hate fuelled bile.

Amazing, Glesga's finest,
This review is from: Frankie Boyle's Tramadol Nights [DVD] (DVD)
Frankie bhoy is the man, its a shame there wont be a 2nd series, absolutely hysterical, the stand up is brilliant and the sketches are totally mental, rab florence of Burninstoun is in alot of them aswell, canny wait to see his new tour this year, buy this if you are the type of person who has an urge to pish yourself with laughter, one of the best things on the telly in years, puts to shame all the bland casual copy cloned dross sh"ite on tv today, michael mcintyre russel brand ricky gervais russel howard, all these "friendly" chubes. one of the best lines is "Very environmentally friendly the popemobile as it runs on the tears of abused alter boys" had my elderly grandmother in stiches, a sterotype irish catholic celtic supporter like myself, brilliant get a copy, god bless frankie, the only one with balls.

The highly-controversial joke about Katie Price has been cut from the DVD edition. It should have appeared at about 14'49" into the second episode, just before the joke about Stephen Hawking.There is no warning on the packaging that the DVD version is cut.
