It's only comedy...Frankie Boyle

Left: Frankie Boyle.

Didn't know he had it in him.

The Daily Mail reports - Channel 4 is embroiled in a race row after comedian Frankie Boyle used two racially offensive terms during his show Tramadol Nights on Tuesday.

The words 'n****r' and 'p**i' both featured during the programme, in which he has already provoked outrage by insulting cancer victims, Aids sufferers and obese people.

Critics said the incident was worse than the Celebrity Big Brother outcry over the 'racist' bullying of Shilpa Shetty and called for media regulator Ofcom to investigate.

During Tuesday night's show, a female character was dressed up as a sexualised Super Mario character and uttered the phrase: 'Hello to P**is everywhere'.

Later in the show, he used the word again when talking about Western forces in Afghanistan before using the word 'n****r'.

Not the first time Frankie Boyle has been in 'hot water'
