American Reacts to Jimmy Carr's Most Offensive Jokes

[@jezlawrence720]

As a brit, I firmly believe that my fellow brits who died in terrorist attacks would be really disappointed in us if we didn't make jokes about it. That's how we deal with horror - we don't get all squeamish, we get angry, then we get funny. Then we angrily tell squeamish jokes.

I was born and raised in Oklahoma and clearly remember the OKC bombing. Imagine my surprise, as an American, nay, Oklahoma ex-pat, seeing Jimmy Carr 'LIVE FROM NORWICH' (older Brits will get this joke, btw) and he actually made a joke about the bombing. My poor, shy, British husband kept hitting my arm to make sure I kept schtum and he also had to give his workmakes (it was all part of a Christmas do) death threats so they didn't alert Jimmy to my presence. I still, to this day, marvel over the odds of that happening and really wish I'd forced my hubby to stay late so I could meet Jimmy Carr that night. To be fair, while the bombing was tragic and I still, even after all these years, can get upset by it, I did laugh at Jimmy. I suppose the British way of dealing with grim things - stiff upper lip, make a joke, etc - had started to set in and therefore I could see the humour in what he said.

Your point "Is it bad that I think this is funny", is exactly Jimmy's style.

I have always liked edgy humor (American spelling). I grew up in Houston Texas, the same city that the late Bill Hicks grew up in. I loved his style and frankness. Before him was George Carlin and Richard Pryor. Two more of my favorites, by the way. You should check these three out. These three were fans of the late Lenny Bruce. He was hilarious as well.

[@deadbandit]

definitely react to more jimmy carr! one of England's best comedians

[@lyndapet1]

REALLY ??.??

[@nzmarty]

Jimmy is still telling jokes like this and has not yet been cancelled. His point about the joke itself not being offensive - it’s the person who is offended is probably the most pertinent comment

[@jakeplant1783]

15:12 did bro say "antai-cli-mactic" 💀

[@TheIconsofsin]

this is pretty tame for him, also you should check out frankie boyle

[@-Blackberry]

Normies idea of offensive jokes.

[@BillyDrewer]

Literally this 😂 these were kinda weak imo. Funny but not that dark

[@LordMidichlorian]

The closing Alzheimer's joke: that's the punch line. The setup is he opened the show with that joke (the full version is up in his channel).

[@Omni_Shambles]

This guy was a very popular, mainstream TV presenter. Not just some fringe, offensive comedian. You should check out Frankie Boyle. He's Scottish so you know he's gonna be even better/worse. 🤣

[@tonys1636]

A late Irish comedian was ex-communicated by the Catholic Church for his sketches and jokes about the Pope and the Church. He raised a glass to it, Irish Whiskey of course.

[@TheProco2020]

Frankie is/was part of Jimmy’s writing team. Love them both.

[@mateustome785]

8:00 search him now and u will see that it didnt change

[@xsirdavidianx]

If this is your first time watching Jimmy carr, sit down and strap yourself in lol. Brilliant.

[@littlefluffybushbaby7256]

I'm old enough to remember the Falklands War of 1982. The 'squadies' (grunts) on the ships, going down there to fight, sang the Monty Python song "Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life". The soldiers in the trenches of the First World War (that I'm not old enough to remember) used to sing "We're here because we're here because we're here because we're here" to the tune of Auld Lang Syne.

[@Corfield81]

why does he say every single word as if he has to think about what he is saying for each one "Hi.....I....Am....going....to....REACT....to....this....video"

[@nolaj114]

And why does he need to screw up his face and wink one eye when he says it? Ughh. I have to fast-forward the intro every time.

[@jameskay5880]

honestly? I have to say there really shouldn't be anything "off limits" (once some time has passed of course) but then again I'd like to think I'm a bit of a comedy "purist" I quite enjoy George Carlin's stuff or Billy Connolly's for example.

[@canadianbakin1304]

im glad im canadian for the fact that its easier to get british humour from across the pond

[@johankaewberg8162]

The Danish subsection was spot on IMHO. I wish he had gone harder (I know he can)

[@littlefluffybushbaby7256]

Harder, harder, harder

[@GavP75]

There are better collections of his most offensive jokes that come from different shows. Worth watching those too.

[@irreverend_]

Yes, it does make you a bad person, we're all terrible people for laughing :)

[@chrisbradley977]

This is like watching Ned Flanders trying to prove that he's relaxed and easy going. Okaley Dokely, we believe you.

[@howardhales6325]

Jimmy has the most distinctive laugh. Really one of a kind.

[@strangelee4400]

He laughs in reverse. Ah ah ah aaah!

[@littlefluffybushbaby7256]

Yep.Thank God 😂

[@keithalderson100]

One of Carr's common phrases to the audience is, "Too Soon?" When there is an intake of breath after a joke that is soon after an event.

[@manic5378]

The Alzheimer's joke loses its context in an isolated clip like this, but the set began with the same joke.

[@glennaustin37]

Actually, this seems pretty tame by his standards 😂

[@TriumInfinitum]

@@glennaustin37 yes,.,we all know the PDF jokes are more your kind. To be honest🤮

[@TerribleEnglish]

I remember so many jokes, as a UK teen at the time: The front desk at the Paris Ritz thought something was up; when they asked Diana if she would be staying that night, she replied "No, I'm just going to crash with my boyfriend", "Fly Al Qaida Airways - we'll take you right to the office!" In no way was it seriously making fun of the situation, as we were all great fans of Prinxess Diana, for example, but yes, it's funnier because it's a taboo subject and a joke you wouldn't tell in front of certain others. And the creativity was great - that was more important than anything else. That was among school kids, though - I don't think any actual comedian would have been making those jokes at the time.

[@hamoostaffat]

That was pre Google days though, back then you only got a joke like that because you overheard someone tell your dad or someone told you at school because they overheard their dad, now someone types a joke on a screen and millions of people see it within minutes Even if someone was on TV the chances of seeing it again were slim to none unless you or someone you knew taped it, standup wasn't a big TV thing outside talk shows and comedians changed every show Roy chubby brown I remember was making Diana jokes very soon after it happened but because a hundred camera phones weren't being pointed at him hardly anybody will ever know

[@michaelpearl-r8w]

Nothing in the world can't be laughed at by us British, If we didn't laugh we would cry, and we don't cry.

[@TheresaReynolds-l7m]

Rubbish

[@michaelpearl-r8w]

@@TheresaReynolds-l7m We are born ,then we die. You and I are so tiny in the schemes of the universe that we amount to nothing. do you want to cry about it or laugh . You make your choice.

I’m British and I’ve seen the Royal Variety show on TV, probably twice maybe 3 times in my 44 years life. So I don’t know that much about it, but I think it’s an annual event at a theatre, where the Royal Family attends.

[@DMGamanda]

I think most decent uk comedians are offensive tbh and I doubt he would do it differently now 😊

[@g0406]

“You have to let time pass” like a few hours maybe. A day at most before memes are sent around 😂

[@EastwoodLights]

Tyler, one thing i can tell you here is its pretty often that you get the Joke texts like "Strange? bloke on the hot dog stand just text me "who ordered the jumbo on floor 43?" BEFORE you even hear about the tragedy.

[@scarletpimpernel8819]

I love Jimmy Carr, he is totally hilarious, best of British humour!!

[@phoenixheart79]

You have to realise that, here in the UK, we use humour to deal with and process horrific events. I remember, less than a day after she died, there were jokes about Princess Di - things commenting on her having a halo now, oh wait that's a steering wheel. A day after she died. With 9/11, you need to realise we had experienced a decades long terrorism campaign by the IRA, so again - humour to deal. That's just how we are.

[@flashgordon6670]

I’m British and Jimmy Carr was my favourite comedian for a long time through my 20s and 30s, from the late 1990s. But many times I found him going too far with the topics he uses for jokes. Although every one of his jokes are fantastic and executed superbly. All too often he made me start laughing about things where comedy shouldn’t go. After several seconds of laughter, I’d start feeling tinges of pain in my abdomen, as the realisation dawns that he’s gone too far. I especially remember finding his jokes about terrorism atrocities offensive and I stopped watching him for many years. But when it came to politics, he was always right on the money. He did a political news comedy with David Mitchell on channel 4, back in the 2000s that was utter genius and his appearances on comedy game shows always had me in stitches. Either bc he made me laugh so hard, or he made me laugh at things we shouldn’t and his stand up shows are brilliant too. I’ve always loved comedy and Jimmy is right up there, with the best of Britain’s all time legends. But as I grow older, I appreciate his dark humour less. Most of his material, is aimed at offending someone or other and that’s fine up to a point. As long as he caveats his jokes with a serious side, which he does do quite a lot. But some subjects like people who have died and acts of violence against a nation and or cultures, should be no go areas for making fun at. He should just talk about them normally and make a few simple puns in good taste and keep it real. Bill Bailey, another great legend, who’s one of my personal favourite comedians, is a bit my harmonic and subtle with his jokes. I think he’s a bit older than Jimmy and has more wisdom with age. Jimmy was just a bit too blunt with sharpness if that makes sense, a bit like a steak tenderiser and quick tempo. Bill Bailey is a bit smoother and debonair but just as punchy and he’s one of those people who just looks funny naturally and can make you laugh with just facial expressions. Jimmy I think has to work harder with his words which has its pros and cons. Sometimes he nails things like no one else can and his quick fire tempo and willingness to go to places where few dare, can be very enlightening and entertaining. But sometimes his shock factor outweighs his gift of delivery and timing.
