AMERICAN REACTS TO JIMMY CARR 20 MOST OFFENSIVE JOKES | JIMMY CARR STANDUP | AMANDA RAE

[@deckhanddaves]

If you watch his face closely, every time he pushes the boundaries his eyes are everywhere over the audience. He reads their reactions and adjusts his jokes accordingly. Bob Monkhouse was the same, his eyes used to dart around checking the audience every joke. Absolute masters of comedy.

[@garethm3242]

I know someone who really disliked his humour and who made a point of approaching him after a gig in Ireland in the mid '00s and saying something like "You're just like Bob Monkhouse!" thinking it was an insult. Jimmy replied "Thanks very much!" You can tell he's heavily inspired by Bob's discipline of the craft

[@deckhanddaves]

I can totally believe that. The more I think of it the more I can see Bob Monkhouse taking over him. Maybe he's posessed? 😉You'd think so sometimes! @@garethm3242

Absolutely! Jimmy watches *very* closely.

[@artful1967]

Bob Monkhouse never stooped to this level to get a laugh ever.

[@anthonybarker1843]

Jimmy is not always offensive, I think his near perfect delivery and timing means only he can deliver certain jokes. He is but a master of his art. Anyone who can't see that is like Hawking in a house fire.

I met Jimmy Carr after a show on the day I passed my PhD viva. My wife mentioned it to him and he was really interested. Held up the autograph signing queue for a good chat about environmental toxicology (my topic)! A really nice guy.

[@ghostdancer444]

I met Jimmy Carr after a show once in an autograph signing queue. Unfortunately there was some bloke with his Mrs holding everybody up, seriously they were there for ages and you could sense that the people behind them were getting annoyed, but Jimmy was smiling and being pleasant. Anyway, being nosey like I am, when I got to the front of the queue I couldn't resist asking him what the hold up was about. He said that the bloke was looking really smug and his Mrs mentioned that he'd just passed his PhD viva, and went on to bore him to death talking about Toxicology. Jimmy said he put up with it because his wife was so gorgeous to look at. The best bit though was when he handed his autographed book back to the bloke, as while he was admiring it Jimmy managed to write his phone number on the wife's copy to which she gave Jimmy a cheeky wink! A really nice guy.

I was Jimmy Carrs waiter years ago when he was doing Birmingham NIA. He would come in for lunch. We were a very nice restaurant so we'd get a lot of celebrities in. Jimmy was one of the top 3 nicest. A genuinely nice, warm, modest guy. My other top 2 were Derren Brown and Stephen Fry. We were used to having celebrities in, but when Stephen Fry walked in a hush fell over the place, including the staff. There was just a presence about him. I think he found it a bit embarrassing. But I got the honor of serving his table and he's was great. What's funny is that I never remembered how much the nice celebs tipped. It was always the bad ones that I remember the tips.

[@Scripture-Man]

"So what was Derren Brown life in real life?" "Derren Brown was one of the nicest men I've ever met, a true gentleman." "Oh really? Did he do any of that hypnosis stuff on you?" "Derren Brown was one of the nicest men I've ever met, a true gentleman." "Yeah, but did he do any tricks or anything?" "I was struck by how humble and handsome he was, and his shows are such a bargain now at £59.99. You should take your kids to meet him." "Uh, you know I don't have kids." "You should take your kids to meet him, a true gentleman." "Wait… are your trousers inside out?"

These jokes tend to come at the end of his shows. He's spent 2 hours softening his audience with fairly edgy stuff then just gets darker towards the end by which time he has taken the audience with him and they are almost willing him to offend them. Pure artistry.

200 hours? You sure about that? That's watching his videos 8 hours a day for a whole month solid. If true, that's insane dedication.

[@davidfrance2915]

#3 caught me off guard so bad I laughed for 5 minutes. I haven't laughed that hard in a long while. I love his longer setups, but it's the quick hits that get me the most. Your reaction was perfect as well.

[@bovax6259]

He keeps a straight face thru LOTS and LOTS of practice! Those were really good jokes and your reaction was [priceless. TY for the reaction vid!

[@majortomwilkinson]

I'm trying to figure out how to be shocked, horrified, and laughing at the same time.

[@stavencapp]

He is literally one of the funiest people alive. To top it off he is highly intelligent. He does his jokes as pure shock value, He doesn't trueley believe in what hes saying, if he did it wouldn't be funny. he is also extremely quick witted. If you see any of his live shows where he deals with hecklers, he deals with them on the fly and its a different joke every time.

[@stevecox5012]

As some others have almost certainly said, he makes a point of saying that they are just jokes and that is all. It is escapism and when you are at a comedy gig, it is like you have carte blanche to laugh at anyone and everyone being ripped to shreds. I have seen him live loads of times and he always tests the audience to see where the limit is. No show is the same though, not even on the same tour, which is why he is one of my favourite stand-ups. He and Dara O'Briarn who is imo, the best at ad-lib at his gigs, especially when he interacts with the audience. Genius!

The best standup comedian has to be Billy Connolly, the master of storytelling.

[@tailssonicteam1604]

Stonefish!

[@honestchris7472]

To be honest, Billy Connolly is very funny but he is not a joke teller, he tells funny stories and acts them out but Jimmy car is a proper stand up comedian. I think that the best three we have or did have is Sean Locke, Jimmy Carr and Lee mack. Unfortunately Sean died a few days ago and he most certainly will be missed, he had a way of being absurd and really funny.

If you don't know already, for the hospice joke, look up Jimmy Saville

[@martiansonmaui1749]

Jimmy Carr is almost always that offensive, but I appreciate how he’s willing to be on the edge, constantly. “8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown” is hilarious, and has introduced me to some great British comedians. Personal favs are James Acaster, Sarah Millikan, Joe Lycett, Jon Richardson, Joe Wilkinson and Sean Lock. Greg Davies’ impression of boxer Chris Eubank is comedy gold, (but be sure to pair it with the follow-up episode)!

[@nigelsmith7955]

Have to agree mate freaking brilliant show, have to watch via KZbin in the US. I was absolutely gutted when Sean passed what an amazing talent and gent of a guy.

[@CaptLoquaLacon]

Part of what Jimmy Carr does is what is called "Paraprosdokians" - where the final part of the sentence/joke changes how you interpret what came before. It's an interesting way to do shock humour as it's not making light of the subject matter, it's all about the gap with the audience expectations. I don't know if you could find a good Emo Phillips video, but that was very much his style and some of his material was similarly dark "My schoolmates would make love to anything that moved, but I never saw any reason to limit myself." I'll be honest, I prefer the likes of Ed Byrne and Dara O'Brien to Jimmy Carr, but I don't think their material does so well when edited down, a lot of Carr's stuff works as isolated clips

[@lordflashget8780]

is right, we are spoon fed carr, a real product of media, scripts, emo should not be mentioned in the same sentence as this stepford puppet.

Great review. I never heard any of these jokes before, so they had there effect. My head was in my hands with shock at some of them. As far as other comedians, I still think the late Dave Allen was amongst the best. His Tv programmes were a staple on BBC for year. He was a lapsed Catholic so is jokes at the religions expense were so memorable, I look forward to your next vid. Best Wishes

I remember sitting down with my (now late) fiancée, whom had disclosed to me she had been raped months prior to our getting together, to watch a TV show of one of his tour dates. There was a screen up scrolling through some one liners in his style, and the last one before he was introduced onto stage was, “What’s worse than finding a worm in your apple?”, followed by, “Being raped.” I was ready to miss some great comedy, and for a few seconds I was reaching for the remote, and bless her, after the initial shock, she burst out laughing. Very “close to the mark” comedy sometimes, and that’s Me saying with absolutely no taboos in humour….

This is (a great!) compilation of his most offensive jokes, so I think you're saying its a bit much is a bit unfair because theyre interspersed with a bunch of less/not-at-all offensive jokes, which lessen the overall shock-jock effect.
