There was more than a whiff of jealousy floating about here and this included Armando Iannucci doing himself no favours by only appearing to be lighthearted about having to wait for 20 years for this award and then moving quickly on to have a bitchy dig about Michael McIntyre.
To prove how subjective comedy is, they even let Frankie Boyle out for the night and gave him the chance to make yet another joke he'll come to regret telling in a few years time - you know, when he's grown up a bit more and realises using rape as subject matter just isn't funny (even though sidekicks like Dara O'Briain tell him he's a great laugh).
