Origin[]
Mock the Week is a British topical celebrity panel game that requires players to deliver improvised answers on the spot, often leading to hilarious outcomes. Frankie Boyle was one of the main panelists on the show, renowned for his pessimistic and controversial brand of comedy.
Effects[]
After being sat in for so long by Frankie, it absorbed his crass humor and cynical personality, bestowing them on whoever sits in the chair. The effects vanish shortly after standing up. The chair is acknowledged as an artifact by the shows creator, but an agreement is in place to leave it on the set, as it seems to have no truly negative effects and makes for good comedy.
