[News] Jimmy Carr

[lawros left foot]

Isn’t this a step too far?

I admit, I don’t like Carr, and I don’t understand how this could possibly be classed as comedy.
Is he just saying the most outrageous thing he can think of to generate controversy or does he think it’s funny?

Possibly NSFW, depending on your sensibilities.

If I recall correctly, that is the end of the show where he says his most extreme jokes and calls it something the “cancel me” section of the show.

I have no opinion either way on humour like this.

How old is that clip? Jimmy's been varnished half a dozen times since then.

I used to enjoy Jimmy Carr's standup. He'd make some risky jokes but wouldn't step over the line. I saw him at The Dome in Brighton about 10 years ago and thought he was great.

These days he just seems to take it too far. I watched his latest Netflix show a couple of weeks ago and some if it is just a bit uncomfortable to watch. Much like Frankie Boyle, it's now all about trying to say the most outrageous things you can.

 

[Thunder Bolt]

It's racist.

 

[CheeseRolls]

Q - Why aren't there more right wing comedians on the TV?
A - because they are not funny.

Q - How do you know they are not funny if they are never on the TV?
A - Jimmy Carr

 

[The Clamp]

I saw him a few years before the gloss teeth and licquorice hair days. He was quite funny.

 

[Live by the sea]

Carr is not funny never was . He’s very careful who he picks on . He is a tw@t

Tax dodging ****

Alternatively we could wait 6 months for the annual 'P###y S**m ruined our cricket pitch' thread.
Then try and claim the moral high ground.

 

[Sheebo]

Oops

Is there any other section of society he could say this about as not be quite rightly flamed for?

If he had said it about Jews, Black people, or Asians, ( the usual racist targets) he would probably never work on TV again, tell a ‘joke’ about GRT, and he will be feted for how edgy he is.

He’s a racist,and deserves to be completely ostracised.

He’s as bad as Jim Davidson.

I quite enjoy Jimmy Carr. Generally speaking.

But that's pretty f**kin' racist.

I see a time coming when he is basically cancelled. I think a part of him wants that. He’s a tax dodging millionaire, many times over who had a very questionable relationship with his mother. Throws amazing parties apparently. And that’s all I know about him.

If I’m after a “Jokes man” I’ll go for Tim Vine, all day long.

I'd be surprised if cancelling was his desired goal.
Doesn't he play 250 nights a year or something?


This thread, well the Twitter hits, is what he wants and gets it every time.


I'm sure he or his writer can put a retrospective spin on it with words to the effect of 'im highlighting the plight of the GRT community'.

But truth be told he wants the uproar as that material feeds the next show.

Strange that in the same page as this thread, there’s another thread about an Albion fan sending tweets to the 3 black England footballers. I haven’t read these particular tweets, but have seen others sent by people of similar opinions as the banned fan. He has now got a criminal record, the possibility he has lost his job, and is banned from the Amex indefinitely, as well as widespread vilification.
Carr will not have to suffer any of these punishments and if he did the “ It’s all cancel culture “ mob will champion his cause as a victim of the suppression of freedom of speech.

 

[Peteinblack]

Standard reactionary trope - say provocative things that they know will cause offence, but insist that they are courageously exercising their democratic freedom-of-speech. Then, when uproar and outrage ensue, complain that: a) they are victims of 'the Woke' and cancel-culture and 'the fascist Left'; b) those offended are thin-skinned 'snow-flakes' who need to toughen-up and get out of their 'safe-space'.

See also: Jim Davidson, Roy 'Chubby' Brown, Mrs Brown's Boys, and previously, Bernard Manning.

Fortunately, I exercise my freedom by refusing to to watch or listen to these obnoxious 'comedians' who will run crying to the Daily Mail when they're called-out on their sheer w*nkery.

Very old, must be a slow day on twitter ... there needs to be at least one social media witch hunt/cancelling to keep the hordes happy.
