He's just not funny at all. He's talking way too much. He should let the guests talk a bit more and shut up for a bit
His guests actually look bored

Frank Skinner - Opinionated
- Thread starter Kinky Melinky
- Start date
He definitely loves himself a bit too much.
That's definitely the vibe I get which is a shame because....well.....I'll say it again, he's just not funny. You compare the humor on his show to a show like 'Mock the Week.' They leave him for dead.
I guess he'd say that his show is not primarily a comedy show but more so discussion of opinion with some light humor but that's a cop out. He'd love it if everyone thought his show was hilarious
I bet you used to love his talk show.
I never listened to it, much like the rest of the radio to be honest. This is the first time I've seen him. I've heard lots about him but that's about it
I used to love his shows with Baddiel.
Unfortunately these days, 'opinionated' seems to reek of 'ignorance', although I've never watched his new show, the title really puts me off.
Speaking of ignorance, Question Time is about to start.

Not radio, the ITV show. Probably most famous for him dancing in his underpants to Britney Spears but he was generally Frank Skinner without trying to be funny thus 90% of the time coming across as a smug cnut.
Mock the Weak is the biggest load of unfunny bollocks on TV
Used to love that footy show he did, Badiel and Skinner Unplanned and also some of his early stand up.
I think it's hilarious
But it's all so painfully scripted it makes you wonder why they have a points scoring system
This show is very hit and miss due to it not being scripted and the guests being generally awful. Frank Skinner is a very funny man though. His autobiography is fantastic and I'd recommend it to anyone.
Does he still do stand up?
Get some of his shows from 10+ years ago if you can. Some of the funniest stand up I've ever seen.
One of his that always made me laugh was something along the lines of...
"The missus has told me we're gonna need to get some nappies in"
*cue all the women in the audience going "aaaaaaaaaah" simultaneously
"Yeah, apparently her arse muscles are packing up"

fecking hell, it must be really shit if that is the case.
Mock the 'weak' you mean?
Did he actually sing on the Three Lions record?
fecking hell. You're good enough to be on it!
Not a dig btw. It's just that it's a load of shit these days.
Skinner's alright, he's just one note: Sarky, smug brummy cnut. Once you've seen his schtick for, what 20 years now? It probably grates a bit. He can't do much else. He tried to write a sitcom once, it was fecking awful.
Like cw said, Fantasy Football was class, and wouldn't've worked without him.
Surely it was most famous for Tara Palmer Tompkinson being chiseled off her box?

His radio show on Absolute is very entertaining.
Cant stand Skinner - never could tbh. He loves himself for some bizarre reason. I get the impression he regards himself as a National Treasure & all round man of the people. He's a cringey bollox - thats what he is!
Mock The Week is an abortion of a tv show. It would be fairly pathetic if it was genuinely improvised but the fact that it's scripted makes it all the more tragic.
Having read his books I say it couldn't be further from the truth.
Fair enough man!
Though being on the telly is a different method of expression & to me, he comes across as a gobshite!
I haven't watched "Opinionated" but in general I would say I am fairly pro Frank Skinner. He's one of the best guest presenters on HIGNFY and to be fair to him he's managed to be fairly funny with the hindrance of Baddiel for quite a few years.
I saw a bit and didn't think it was that funny, not to sure what happened to Frank he use to be very funny guy.
