Not that his latest is against the trend with him but what an awful smug wanker he is. The non-thinking man's edgy comedian.
Also been said that he is quite a nice guy in real life. It's just a stage persona isn't it?
Doesn't Ricky Gervais do the same though? Ricky Gervais has said that you should be able to make a joke out of anything didn't he?Then he should know when he really is crossing the line.

Back in't day, I saw him before he was famous, as warm-up man for the Sketch Show (Lee Mack and co.) He made some joke about Christianity which a couple in the front row took offence at, and were quite happy to tell him! After a brief moment of to-and-fro, he capitulated and spent a lot of time telling them he was terribly sorry, he didn't want to upset anybody, he hoped they were OK.Also been said that he is quite a nice guy in real life.

No and I remember Jimmy Carr making a joke about the holocaust, but for the life of me, I can't remember what it was.I don’t remember a Holocaust gag from him I must say.

Weird isn't it. The show has been available to stream for some time and yet now all of a sudden it all blows up and everyone is offended.I find him to vary quite alot, sometimes very funny but at other times he just seems to be bullying people. Having said that, i havent watched many of his routines right through. Any idea why yesterday saw all this reaction to a show that was released on Christmas Day??

Why weren't they offended when it was first released?
Reminds me of Life of Brian a bit, because lots of people were deeply offended about that and they hadn't even seen itIt's a joke on a show that's been out for weeks, guess somebody has been offended and posted on social media and a bandwagon has started from people who haven't seen it.
Sign of the times.

Course she's on the bandwagon.
It's as if people don't watch comedy much. People saying they want him arrested and all that?
more of a joke about gypsies I don’t see a problem with it
Yes, I remember it now. I didn't find it funny, but then wasn't really offended either. It's Jimmy Carr, it does what it says on the tin. Not as if it would have been totally unexpected is it.So it wouldn't have been OK if it was about Jews but its OK about gypsies?

Anybody ever played cards of humanity or too offensive?
Holocaust memorial day was recent so I guess that's the catalyst. Seems fairly standard stuff for him really though, his career is based on that kind of material. 'Too far? Who me? *seal laugh*'
Always wonder how much of the audience enjoys dicier stuff without the irony that's supposed to be assumed, like how Al Murray's pub landlord character also appeals to some of the people he's trying to spoof.
So it's ok to laugh and joke in private about the same sort of shock factor?I’ve played that and I think South Park’s one of the funniest shows on TV. But one’s private between friends and the other is basically the only one given ‘permission’ to cross the line.
