Anyone else think this is ridiculous and absurd?

I mean am i missing something here? Is Jimmy Carr not a comedian telling jokes? He's not getting up on the stage outlining a political manifesto.

You can't just go around hurting people's feelings, you know

try not to laugh here:


...or the first 50 seconds here:


they joke about nazis, and i'm laughing my ass off. (and on that note, rip sean lock probably the best panel show member ever.)

i'd nuke the modern left for their obsession with their so called political correctness. i want the good old liberalism back without all the woke elements. if you don't have any sense of humour just don't watch comedy, easy.

as for carr himself, he's offensive, oh yeah, that's his m.o., good morning twitter. cry me a river about it. forza jimmy.

Jimmy Carr has said even worse things in the past.

Puffs should just stay away from comedy. Stop trying to ruin fun for everyone else.

that is quality tv for you

Its sad that most probably going forward we aren't going to get this kind of comedy. Which is sad. I mean i understand people will always get offended by certain stuff. But then just don't watch it.

RIP Sean Lock!
Forza Jimmy Carr, he's coming to NL later this year, and I'm spending my money watching him

 

[JuveJay]

Jimmy Carr has pissed off a lot of people with a joke about the Holocaust and gypsies on his Netflix show. Makes me want to watch it more. Do people not understand the concept of dark humour?

I remember on US tv where he made a joke to Pete Davidson about his dad dying in 9/11 - Pete just got him back with something just as bad. There will be no place for this sort of humour at all in the very near future. It will all be sterile and good natured.

Word.

My sister recently moved to Barcelona and her neighbors are gypsies. They blast music all day long and you can hear them clapping on the time. She's trying to study but these fuckers are way too noisy. She called the cops on them yesterday.

I liked the joke. If I was a gypsy, probably not so much. But that doesn't mean because I laugh at the joke I am going to start exterminating roma.

But this would have been a Don Rickles classic. I miss that guy.

I don't like these as much. Nazi humor doesn't do it for me nearly as strongly I guess. It's a watered down version of what you would normally get out of a game of Cards Against Humanity.

Give me abortions, give me cannibalism, give me something shocking. Comedy loses it with the common tropes like "oooh, Nazis, let's all get uncomfortable now", which is a touch on the lazy side.

and that's all fine! comedy is subjective. I have a German friend, he'll probably find this clip appalling. That's fine too. But then just don't watch it. We can't all go around looking for people who say something we dont like and try to silence them. There won't be anything left you can say. Especially when it comes to comedy.

Even though I'm a fan of Jimmy carr, he usually loses me when he jokes about incest, or other peoples mothers. I don't find those jokes funny at all. But so what? i'd just skip through them if i was watching on netflix.

Oh and Don Rickles is a legend! haha, that guy is the definition of someone who can say anything and make it funny

Don Rickles was vicious, but he was an expert. It's hard to imagine a panel like the Dean Martin Celebrity Roasts existing today where you had blacks, Jews, white people, women, etc., all going after each other on the same stage like that. And it was funny as hell.

Now don't get me wrong on Nazi jokes. But Fawlty Towers was 45 years ago and we haven't moved on with new material.

Ever met British/Irish gypsies (travellers) before?

Nah just the roma kind, anything like the way they depicted in snatch?

Obviously exaggerated but not far off tbh.

Gypsies really are the worst. Used to have a shanty town of them behind my childhood home. Fucking dirty ass people.
