Carr On Comedy | Jimmy Carr | EP 233

This episode was recorded on November 02, 2021.
The personality assessment mentioned by Mr. Carr is understandmyself.com
Jimmy Carr is an award-winning comedian, author, and TV host. Carr recently came under fire for the career-enders subsection in His Dark Material, a Netflix special that’s deemed “deeply offensive” or “faithful to its title,” depending on who you ask. Carr’s latest book, Before & Laughter, is part memoir, part life advice, and mostly funny.
We had a stimulating conversation about human nature, comedy and the physiology of laughter, experiencing jokes, half-filled rooms, truth, growth, self-deprecation, love languages, religion, and the 15’ replica of his head.

Agreed 👍🏼

[@zybch]

So many truly great comics and comedians have this same 'other' side that Jimmy is demonstrating so well here. John Cleese is another comedian who has a deep and some would find surprising understanding and interest in the mechanics of humour.

[@Ingens_Scherz]

He's wonderfully, refreshingly - courageously even - honest, especially when he speaks so articulately about the impact of his mother's death on his entire being. That's hard to do for most of us. However, "unexamined" was a word that came up in this conversation, though in a very general sense. I wouldn't want to be privy to any conversation where those things, whatever they are, might be examined. That's private ;)

[@unclebensrice4702]

[@cornelbaluta]

Two things I have to say about this topic: 1. I had the delightful opportunity to pickup Dr. Jordan Peterson in 2018 from the London Heathrow Airport and drop him at his hotel in London. With Dr. Peterson I had the most amazing conversation for more than two hours because: a) Being from Romania he was very interested about the years I lived in communism and how I end up living in the UK. b) I had no idea at that moment who Dr. Peterson was. After we said goodbye in front of his hotel I've googled his name but the shock came next day when KZbin recommended me his videos and the famous interview with Cathy Newman. Dr. Jordan Peterson is a such a wonderful and humble person and he has my gratitude for life for helping me understand the wrong things I've done in my life and to fix it and to make peace with me and the world for a better future. 2. I had the same delightful opportunity to pick up Jimmy Carr from a BBC tv show in London in 2019 and drop him home. He is the nicest, coolest and clever guy I ever met. Totally different from what you see on the stage.

[@lbzkBMF]

''the opposite of addiction isn't sobriety ; it's purpose'' -Jimmy Carr and Jordan Peterson I sat down 4 days before this video came out. I spent a couple of hours and mapped out what I wanted for my life. I've since stopped two nearly life long addiction WITHOUT EFFORT, where as before I could barely last two days. Funny that I stumbled upon this quote. It is true, and the biggest revelation of my life so far. When you take the time to produce a believable, precise vision of what your life could be, your urges to continue harmful habits will crash on a wall of steel.

[@victoriousjoy9338]

Brilliant

[@daedra40]

Inspiring stuff and a truly powerful shift in thought. Sobriety is merely the vehicle for the smoother journey without the addictive substance or behavior.

[@dalnim4294]

Congrats, that's wonderful!

[@hebrews6915]

Wow, thank you for this!! I recently I signed up for a coaching course and wrote down the vision for my life. For a long time I've struggled with going to bed and getting up in the mornings, or wanting to do anything. I'd lie in bed with the laptop on my stomach, knowing that I can't face God at the end of my life. But I am catching glimpses of what it was like as a child.

[@Richard-cm3pl]

This is one of those pithy sounding quotes that people repeat without thinking it through. A serious addiction trumps purpose, that’s why addictions are soo tragic.

[@liamcollier2]

I found out more about Mr Carr in an hour and half than in the last 20 years of watching him on tv, good job.

[@vincemanley9001]

How on earth are two men across the world in two dramatically different professions sharing such common experience and wisdom, and privy to the same accurate and up to date literature? This is a one in a million conversation. Witnessing this in person would have me floored.

[@jwilliam2255]

No one better than a very smart Canadian clinical psychologist to have this discussion with the most popular British comedian in history.

[@unfractured]

They both deal in mental health though...

[@evee_peavey]

Most people are not that different from eachother, regardless of religion or politics. Generally all it takes is having some basic decency, respect for others and a modicum of common sense imo Combine that with keeping an open mind and not thinking that your opinion is per definition better than others and you have the ingredients for some very interesting conversations

[@jackwhitbread4583]

Jimmy is Cambridge educated and fully capable of having intellectual conversations despite the fact he's an edgy comedian.

[@johnwedgbury6817]

Because none of us are that different. If you're intelligent, which both of them are, you stop and consider, and think yeah this guys good. If you mix with dickheads, that's your fault. Find people which vibe with you

[@Cavalakz]

Such an accurate statement by Jimmy; "You can joke about anything but not to everyone."

[@Goraiders75]

Just like you can/ should only tell certain people what's in your heart and certain people will only pretend to care

[@CFeral-xu9ku]

This is the mental gymnastics you do to navigate in an intersectional feminist hell. Firstly, it's empty wisdom. You can indeed joke about anything. I'm sure even in North-Korea you can throw some funny anecdotes around with your close friends. The question is what you can joke about in the public, to the general audience on mainstream platforms. What you can build your career on or what at least doesn't kill your career. Secondly, there's nothing more hilarious than telling jokes to the wrong audience. Andrew Dice Clay's "The Day The Laughter Died" is a legendary comedy album. Not because he's doing genius material, but because some of the offended audience members start walking out during the show. It adds to the enjoyment to know that if the material gets in contact with the wrong people, it will upset them. And sometimes the general public becomes the "wrong people" and they need to be shaken up.

[@andersmadsen2145]

He's totally right about that when it comes to a social context. But when you are a comedian, you have a certain brand. Carr's brand is dark and offensive humor, if this is not your cup of tea that's totally ok, just don't go to the show. It's a problem when people who aren't going to the show, wants to change the show for the ones that enjoy it.

[@amphibeingmcshpongletron5026]

@@andersmadsen2145 EXACTLY! Stay in your lane if you don't like where the other lane is headed, but don't demand the other lane makes all the same turns as you even though it's clearly headed somewhere else you just don't happen to want to go. Especially when it comes to something as harmless (but powerful) as comedy.

[@markr8690]

A good one those type of funnies is a rough , but on point , quote from him "So you say you now identify as (XYZ) .. okay...so NOW WHAT? SERIOUSLY?NOW WHAT?" I found that nothing short of hilarious, despite his clear absence of the funny side of it.

[@jameslowe2979]

Very true, I heard Roy Chubby Brown could do the Rubik's cube in less than a minute.

[@jacobl6714]

Yeah I've always noticed that as well. As others have pointed out, since they're some of the only people speaking actual truth to power (as opposed to virtue signaling) they inherently tend to be people allergic to bullshit, and able to pick up on some of what's really going on, not to mention a defiant, courageous- especially in male comics- streak of a slightly cynical "ohh yeah? If that's how you feel, prove it. You can't? Well effff you then" pattern of behavior that I think is not just healthy but in reality very important. imo. Love this conversation regardless! The european comedic scene, even compared to america, is suuuuuper politically correct, whiny, and so left leaning that it makes SNL look like trump's twitter lmao so that's why I was so grateful and glad to see jimmy not only speak out against some of their behaviors, but exhibit- thankfully- that he's not as "woke" as most of the others pretend to be

@@TheyCalledMeT That, I think, is Ruan's point. Will either didn't understand the joke and was laughing politely along, or genuinely found it at least a little bit funny. What happened next - the slap - flies directly in the face of either of those two options, and betrays the fact that it was externally or ideologically motivated.

[@Reddotzebra]

He laughs at the joke, then he looks at his wife, she basically does the unamused thumbs down sign and he's off to slap a comedian on stage. It basically ends up being a sketch in and of itself.

[@StixFerryMan]

@@mrnickb part of it is that they are internet interviews. It is the delay that kills. When having a deep conversation with someone, ppl always interject. Add lag to it and it just ruins the moment. Not to say you are not correct. JBP does interrupt a lot. But he is someone whose mind is working overtime, and he just has to get out his thoughts. Something he has to work on I think, but better then just pretending to listen while waiting to have a turn saying what you want to say, like some ppl do( something I had to learn to do personally)

As a big fan of both your works. I found this very entertaining and fascinating. I was surprised to see this meeting of the minds and it does give me hope, that maybe if enough big personalities were willing to sit across the table from each other, maybe we could really come together as a society. Knowing how vilified you have been made out to be in legacy Media, its really refreshing to see, someone like Jimmy Carr, publicly acknowledging that you are not the monster you have been made out to be. I feel like this marks a turning point in public perception of who you are, and i am thankful for that. Given everything you've done and how you have really put yourself out there and tried to help people. Its inspirational and heart braking to see how you have been treated. You will forever have a supporter in me. I don't always agree with you, but i respect you and your opinion on topics and i've found you to be a great source of knowledge and listening to your lectures has helped me grow as an individual. Please never give up, i think you are doing a tremendous service for people and we would be lesser without it.

Gervais says the same boring shit in every interview. He spends most of it moaning about how "you can't say anything on twitter" even though he says whatever he wants on twitter regardless of how offensive or unfunny it usually is. Then he moves on to summarising society by quoting an apprentice contestant saying "I'll do anything to win this, I'll stand on/ crush the opposition". Then he'll bullshit himself and the interviewer that AfterLife is the best show he's ever done, even though we all know that it's nothing more than overly sentimental, saccharine shite.

Although many would not expect this pairing, it really makes perfect sense. Jimmy Carr says things that many would not, as does Jordan Peterson. They both offer few to no apologies unless there is an honest mea culpa with no connection to phony media pressure. They both skillfully elaborate arguments that confound dogmatic ideologies. Apart from Dave Chapelle, Joe Rogan, and a few others, there aren't many big names putting themselves out there like this.

"we love each other so much that even the worst blows don't really matter" I think maybe a more accurate way to describe this phenomenon is like this: when people of a certain culture are capable of taking the worst possible kinds of insults then this is an indication of a high-trust society. In other words, the more people distrust their fellow citizens, the more dangerous any form of insult is regarded and vice versa.

[@jonathonshaw6688]

Yeah, I would say it's that we are able to trust that the person appearing to insult us doesn't really mean it.

[@streglof]

@@jonathonshaw6688 That or if he or she does, that there's no actual real threat behind the insult. If you don't see your fellow citizens as a potential threat, even a really meant insult doesn't carry much weight. But these days we're telling kids that even words and ideas are an actual existential threat to their existence so I guess that explains the recent increase in demand for censorship these days.
