IT’S been a funny old year for comedians in 2011 – with many of them getting in hot water for telling jokes too near to the knuckle. Frankie Boyle turned himself into a hate figure for making nasty remarks about Jordan’s disabled son Harvey, joking about her and ex-husband Peter Andre fighting over who would have to keep him. Jimmy Carr upset people with a joke about Downs Syndrome children, saying: “Why are they called Sunshine Variety coaches when all the kids look the same?” Then Ricky Gervais caused uproar when he put snaps of himself gurning on Twitter accompanied by phrases like, “good monging,” “two mongs don’t make a right,” and “my favourite drink is toilet.” Obviously those jokes are far too outrageous for us to repeat, unlike these best gags of the year.

“I farted in a lift… it was wrong on so many levels” Stewart Francis

“I DON’T want any fat people to feel uncomfortable at one of my gigs… so next time, buy two seats!” Ricky Gervais

“RONAN Keating had an affair with a woman who looks exactly the same as his missus. Who would do that? Only a member of Boyzone would do a cover version of his own wife.” Neil Delamere

“I’VE got a bag for life. She’s called my wife.” Vic Reeves

“I SAID to this Scottish bloke, ‘I know everything there is to know about places in Scotland.’ He said, ‘Motherwell?’ I said, ‘A bit of arthritis but she’s all right!’” Tim Vine

“I BOUGHT one of those anti bullying wristbands when they first came out. I say, ‘bought,’ I stole it off a short, fat, ginger kid!” Jack Whitehall

“THAT’S Victoria Beckham’s fourth baby by caesarean now. They may as well have just put in a hinge!” Jon Richardson

“A CHURCH in America is getting in trouble for running an organised prostitution ring out of it. That’s right, it’s a brothel and a church. They don’t just talk about a burning bush, they’ll give you one!” Russell Howard

<>“My TV remote had a button that said, ‘cinema sound.’ So I pressed it and a voice behind me went, ‘Put your head down you fat t**t!” Phil Jupitus

“AFTER Movember, how many women will do Fanuary? I don’t know. Let’s get Dickember out of the way first.” Ricky Gervais

“I BOOKED a holiday with my mate. The lady said, ‘queries?’ I said, ‘No, just good friends!’” Daniel Sloss

“PLAYING for Scotland is an oxymoron. Saying you’re an international footballer …for Scotland, is like being voted the most handsome man in the burns unit!” Frankie Boyle

“You don’t want to have the World Cup in the Middle East. If any matches go to sudden death, that’s just tempting fate!” Milton James

“Just watched a show about rimming. It was very tongue in cheek.” Jason Manford

“I’d loved to have had a gay dad. All that stuff at school, ‘My dad could batter your dad!’ ‘Oh my dad could batter your dad!’ ‘Listen! My dad will shag your dad… and your dad will enjoy it!’” Frankie Boyle

Frankie Boyle does a Lady Diana tribute .

While is't the festive season.......

Joseph and Mary are stood at reception in the inn, the receptionist is handing them a small wooden box with straw in it, Joseph says "actually, I asked to see the manager"

Sifting through youtube a while back and came across Howard Stern's roast of Artie Lange. In places brutal. It does make you wonder is comedy anything that makes you laugh depite the material cos some of the stuff here had me in hysterics.

BTW don't watch if offended by sick jokes and extremly offensive language.

The roast of Charlie Sheen was pretty rude

“You’re just like Bruce Willis — you were big in the 80s and now your old slot is being filled by Ashton Kutcher.” — Amy Schumer

“Charlie still hasn’t hit rock bottom. He’s looking forward to it though, because he thinks there’s a rock there.” — Steve-O

"I'm 80, you're 46… how come we look like we went to high school together?" — William Shatner

"I read somewhere that Charlie made a prostitute cry. But I don't believe that's true, Charlie. I saw the scene where you got arrested in Wall Street, You can't even make yourself cry." — Seth MacFarlane

"Charlie, you're the black sheep of a family that produced three 'Mighty Ducks' movies." — Jeffrey Ross

The whole gig is well worth getting hold of.
