Hey there! You know when you film a whole video and only when you go to edit it you realise your finger was bleeding? A bit annoying, but also a bit hilarious 😂 Hope it's not too distracting! Clearly Jimmy Carr was way too entertaining for me to notice!
He's an incredibly genuine person outside of his routines. Very well grounded. He's knows exactly how famous he is and exactly how he got there and who makes him. Him, Gervais, Bill Bailey, Tim Minchin. they all get it.
Art should inspire thought. There are many ways of doing this, but disturbing comfort definitely is one. I wouldn't say it isn't art if it isn't disturbing, but if you try to cancel everything that is disturbing, you definitely cancel art.
What so many fail to understand is the difference between punching up and down in comedy. The detail is in understanding the difference between the subject of a joke and the object.
The thing about Carr's jokes... he doesn't believe one bit about them, they are JUST jokes! He's very good at making jokes about subjects that would normaly trigger you... that's why he's so popular!
@michaelhawkins7389 I was never that keen on Frankie Boyle. I always thought he was just being controversial for the sake of it. What he said about poor Rebecca Adlington was just unforgivable. She can't help the way she looks bless her. He also made a few jibes at Gabby Logan too in one of Mock The Week episodes comparing her to a "transvestite" which was just unnecessary.
As an American, I can say most of the people I know and myself love this type of humor. It's just the loud obnoxious humorless ones who ruin it for everyone.
Yep, you can in fact joke about anything. You just can't get away with being lazy about it anymore, being shocking for itx own sake... Actually have to be a good comedian that is good at comedy in order to pull off these kinds of jokes.
WE have so many comic legend's across decades, from "Peter Sellars of the Goons" to "John Cleese from Monty Python and so many others. and now we have Jimmy Carr and of course Ricky Gervais. Legends that will still be making people laugh, long after them and I, are long dead.
1st time I saw him he started a joke "do you know what I say to my gf when we're in bed together?" I shouted up to him "I always ask her what time is Jimmy coming home?". He laughed so hard he forgot to tell us his punchline.
😊😊😊😊😊 Liking Jimmy is guilty pleasure ,you know you shouldn't laugh but you still have to, Jimmy's jokes are well thought out and constructed, he never seem to the cross the line to unacceptable , thanks for posting Megan ,❤❤.
Yeah I think one of his Montreal gigs was the first video of his I watched. I'm an Australian carpenter and the guys down at my favourite tool shop recommended him to me to watch 😊
You should not feel guilty for laughing at a joke. It's only non-offensive if it's a joke. By laughing, you confirm, it's a joke, therefore not offensive.
I saw Jimmy in Cardiff and he said, if anyone want an autograph come see me after the show, ive also seen Rob Bryon, Joe Lycett and Dara o'brien and none of them did.
Wouldn't be successful in Canada?! Are you kidding? Jimmy Carr has performed at Just for Laughs more than once and always receives a standing ovation. Of course, that's possibly because Montreal is one of the few cities in North America where people aren't born with sticks up their asses. 🤣
Thanks for laughing. The thing with jokes is that they're either good and make you laugh or they are not good and don't make you laugh. Jokes are only offensive as much as a person wants to feel offended.
It's a little more nuanced than that. What does Jimmy do that is different than some other offensive comedians that people have to work harder to defend?
If you like Jimmy's risky jokes, try reacting to some Frankie Boyle. Just as close to the edge as Jimmy (IIRC he actually used to write jokes for Jimmy). Both Frankie and Jimmy are also brilliant at dealing with hecklers and interacting with their audience in general.
Jimmy's a real one-off envelope pusher. Brilliant with hecklers too. I think he actually appeared on the US 'Tonight' show early in his career- can't recall Jay Leno or that other guy Dave something. Not with material this risqué though, and ergo, not as funny. He was great value on the panel show 'Quire Interesting' (QI), bouncing off Stephen Fry. You've gotta love how he fearlessly just 'goes there', but very self-aware.. Thanks for sharing, Megan.
Jimmy Carr has toured across Canada multiple times with many venues selling out. He's actually doing a Canadian tour this year and is playing Victoria BC October 26! He's awesome live, if you get a chance go and see him... He's worth it! Also, not sure why you'd say Canadians are more sensitive... Have you seen Canadian comedy?
The Court Jester in medieval times was the one man that could mock the King. Comedians should push boundaries. If its funny it's funny. Jokes aren't offensive. Someone might find something offensive but that's their perception.
Megan Ruth laughing at rape and child abuse jokes. I think we’ve found her level! I would say “Stay Classy, Miss Megan!”, but I think that train has left the station ages ago…! 😂
Things have changed in the UK too. Look at what happened to Reg D Hunter, just because the audience laughed at a couple of troublemakers after Reg told a fairly lukewarm joke.
Incredibly smart is Jimmy..even his wee jibe at ye laugh at what you laugh at...then go ooooooooh...very smart... I would encourage anyone to go watch him on Joe rogan...one of the all time best podcasts ever... He came across as a very smart man with really cool monologues of life tbh it was amazing.
With how these chapters are titled I'm surprised YT didn't censor the whole video, you can't talk about these subjects in the comments nowadays without them getting filtered.
Carr is a comedian that I admire for his ability to formulate a "set-up / punch" perfectly. It's just that I'm not a fan of the comedy sub-genre. I came up on Carlin, Pryor, Tomlin, and Whoopi. Robin was brilliant at the minimal prep with maximum improv, but he ended his sets with carefully built pieces designed to wring maximum emotional resonance from you when he'd brought you to his most vulnerable with his humour. Carr is a craftsman, just in an area that doesn't speak to me.
@@MeganRuth magan, I do apologise, I actually watched said post, must have watched it after I'd had a "few" drinks, stay happy, safe and healthy sweetheart ❤️
@MeganRuth have you watched his shows? Hopefully if you are living in the UK London his accent can be understood, he tells a good story about living in the USA New York in the 1980s
you shouldn't feel guilty for laughing. when its a comedy show. i find it funny that america has so many banned words and loves to tell us that saying this or that is not okay. its just words
Did you really say Canucks are sensitive? 😂😂😂😂 Must be speaking about those from the french bit. As one American commentator on YT said, if you hear O Canada and smell maple Syrup in the air, the possibility of a War crime isn't far away. Last thing you need is an angry Canadian . sensitive..😂
Remember, people don't find things they agree with funny. Who makes jokes about a politician who they support wholeheartedly? So if you find rasist or sexists jokes hilarious it doesn't mean you agree with the attitude of people in the joke, quite the opposite. So don't feel bad for laughing
Aww! Don't feel guilty. I laugh at some terrible stuff but I'm still a good person (I hope). Out of context this all sounds bad, but he's doing this on purpose, and saying the worst thing imaginable is funny for some reason.

In UK they are more sensitive/offended than in USA (about Canada, i do not know, too sensored media to get any real info to the world).
Shit happens lol. Funny reaction, Thank you.
@@KrK-ESTsays the Estonian. you don't know what you're talking about.
Hi
Not the first time a guy or woman stuck there finger up there and it came out covereed in blood! Your point?
Jimmy wasn't lying, he really does sit down after every gig and sign autographs.
And finger people.
I've never been to see him, but I really admire a performer that shows that level of appreciation. It makes me like him even more.
True, I’ve seen him 3 times, and he did it after each. Really nice friendly guy.
He's an incredibly genuine person outside of his routines. Very well grounded. He's knows exactly how famous he is and exactly how he got there and who makes him. Him, Gervais, Bill Bailey, Tim Minchin. they all get it.
the time stamp 2:31 ,make me laugh you cant say it use it & you must bleep it unless its content related - but can be written as a timestamp
I've always felt that any art should comfort the disturbed and disturb the comfortable. Step forward, Mr. Jimmy Carr.
A very interesting comment, I like it 🤣 I must be the 'And' 😜
Art should inspire thought. There are many ways of doing this, but disturbing comfort definitely is one.
I wouldn't say it isn't art if it isn't disturbing, but if you try to cancel everything that is disturbing, you definitely cancel art.
What so many fail to understand is the difference between punching up and down in comedy. The detail is in understanding the difference between the subject of a joke and the object.
I like that.
Nice perspective…
I am Australian and we love this type of humor.
Jimmy is hilarious. He can do dark jokes, but that's all they are, and most people get that and just laugh :)
The thing about Carr's jokes...
he doesn't believe one bit about them, they are JUST jokes!
He's very good at making jokes about subjects that would normaly trigger you... that's why he's so popular!
Ah, Jimmy Carr, the master of dark humour and audience heckling comebacks!
along with Frankie Boyle who is even darker then James Carr but both are great.
@michaelhawkins7389 I was never that keen on Frankie Boyle. I always thought he was just being controversial for the sake of it. What he said about poor Rebecca Adlington was just unforgivable.

@@michaelhawkins7389 nah, he's just a 🛎end who thinks he's clever
Lived in Dublin for a time and absolutely fell in love with Jimmy Carr and ALL things British TV...
Some of that was at Just for Laughs in Montreal. Therefore we had a Canadian girl in England watching a British comedian in Canada. Life is weird.
Wow really?! I had no idea! That's hilarious 😂
@@MeganRuth his more "wrong" jokes are often in the UK, he tones it down for North America.
🤯
And ramps it up for Australia.
As an American, I can say most of the people I know and myself love this type of humor. It's just the loud obnoxious humorless ones who ruin it for everyone.

Rickyes oscars gig is legendary. Only yhing peiple seen of the oscars in decades.
Jimmy has written a few books about the psychology of comedy. He understands it very well.
This is a light series ...of jokes . He can be a lot darker.
I think one of the darkest is his joke towards Pete Davidson at his dad during a roast. Holy hell, lol.
American, I've followed Jimmy for years and one of my favorite jokes of all time is one of his
1st time I saw him he started a joke "do you know what I say to my gf when we're in bed together?" I shouted up to him "I always ask her what time is Jimmy coming home?". He laughed so hard he forgot to tell us his punchline.
😊😊😊😊😊 Liking Jimmy is guilty pleasure ,you know you shouldn't laugh but you still have to, Jimmy's jokes are well thought out and constructed, he never seem to the cross the line to unacceptable , thanks for posting Megan ,❤❤.
You should never feel guilty for laughing at a joke - no matter the subject matter. It's one of the big problems with world these days.
Megan, loved the reaction. Your laugh is contagious
Jimmy Carr slays in both Canada and the US. Especially when he's digging on the USA. We cannot get enough of it, tbh.
Jimmy has performed in Canada , i think it was Montreal . It's on YT .
Yeah I think one of his Montreal gigs was the first video of his I watched. I'm an Australian carpenter and the guys down at my favourite tool shop recommended him to me to watch 😊
He's been playing Just for Laughs (Montreal) since his early career, since before he was famous in the UK! Now he does full North American tours!
I saw him perform in Saint John, New Brunswick. The whole place was laughing like crazy!
You should not feel guilty for laughing at a joke. It's only non-offensive if it's a joke. By laughing, you confirm, it's a joke, therefore not offensive.
10:20 - I mean - that laughter harmony 🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂
You should look up his mosquito joke! There is a top 20 of his jokes compilation and they are funny af!
As a Canadian, i absolutely love Jimmy Carr. I guess it must be the british from the old colony in me that finds it funny lol 😅
I saw Jimmy in Cardiff and he said, if anyone want an autograph come see me after the show, ive also seen Rob Bryon, Joe Lycett and Dara o'brien and none of them did.
You laugh because it’s funny, guilt doesn’t apply.
Hilarious! This reminded me of being on my 6th grade class trip to NYC. We got to go on the roof of the south tower of the trade center.
MY COMMENTARY MAKES THIS TRANSFORMATIVE!
Wouldn't be successful in Canada?! Are you kidding? Jimmy Carr has performed at Just for Laughs more than once and always receives a standing ovation.
Of course, that's possibly because Montreal is one of the few cities in North America where people aren't born with sticks up their asses. 🤣
Jimmy is the king of the Montreal Comedy Festival.
Passing note... Carr has played all across Canada and the US, the crowds have loved his quirky blunt sense of humour!
Checkout Carr at Montreal!
He does tone it down a little in the Canadian gigs I've seen. Still funny though.
Thanks for laughing. The thing with jokes is that they're either good and make you laugh or they are not good and don't make you laugh. Jokes are only offensive as much as a person wants to feel offended.
It's a little more nuanced than that. What does Jimmy do that is different than some other offensive comedians that people have to work harder to defend?
You should freely laugh if you find any joke funny, because if you don't you are letting life defeat you.
If you like Jimmy's risky jokes, try reacting to some Frankie Boyle. Just as close to the edge as Jimmy (IIRC he actually used to write jokes for Jimmy). Both Frankie and Jimmy are also brilliant at dealing with hecklers and interacting with their audience in general.
Especially Frankie Boyles Audience Annihilation....those are great

Lov jimmy carr jokes
He was hilarious! Americans love his sense of humor.
Love your bugle darlin..

Don’t feel guilty Jimmy said it in one of his jokes a laugh is a reflex you don’t consciously control what you laugh at.
I've heard of Jimmy Carr he's such a funny 😁 bloke here in the UK 🇬🇧 🤣
Jimmy Carr has toured across Canada multiple times with many venues selling out. He's actually doing a Canadian tour this year and is playing Victoria BC October 26!

Haha good old British shock humour, nothing is off limits. Jimmy get considerably worse than this. part 2 and 3 are pretty funny

with the paraplegic boy joke my mind when he said sex was bad I said no thats a lie it was wheely good
The American equivalent to Jimmy Carr is Anthony Jeselnik, very similar jokes but Anthony is a little more deadpan delivery.
Great chapter name 😂
What makes me uncomfortable is that I'm comfortable with all his jokes. If they touch a personal nerve with me it just makes them funnier! 🙃
Frankie Boyle Audience Annihilation is the nature progression from here
@T.elegra.m.TheMeganRuth SCAMMER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Stop worrying about what others think you laugh at what you find funny. Carr just tells jokes. Some people choose to be offended.
Ohh lovely megan, not sure if you were ready for jimmy carr. But you laughed so much it was fine ❤
Yes I did! 😂
jiggle jiggle
With how these chapters are titled I'm surprised YT didn't censor the whole video, you can't talk about these subjects in the comments nowadays without them getting filtered.
Jimmy has done Just For Laughs before. So he's done fine in Canada before.
Jimmy Carr is popular in the States, too! I saw him live in San Francisco last December. His shows sold out.
U'll want a shower after listening to Jimmy 😂
You should try Gary Delaney most offensive jokes
Gary Delaney wrote most of Jimmy's jokes.
Who’s Gary Deaney??
@@2rare2die100 Should have read Delaney. I've changed it now.
Jimmy’s not offensive just funny af.
This reaction brought to you by this week's sponsor - Lovense.
Right that's Jimmy Carr ticked off the list, now for some Jerry Sadowitz... 🤞

Jokes can’t be offensive coz they’re jokes!!
hes done shows in canada and usa.just for laugh shows
Frankie Boyle used to write for Jimmy. Maybe he still does!
Look for Jerry Sadowitz.
Hey megan, what happened to the league of gentlemen?
I posted a new episode last week :)

Jimmy is very famous in the US and in Canada. He tours the world. You just need to get out more.
Was it the finger that was bleeding?
😊💛
You are an early Catherine Ryan!
You ever watch Katherine Ryan? She's a Canadian living and working in England too. She's great.
No she's not. Women aren't funny.
She's pretty much the Amy schumer of the UK.

Frankie Boyle is also a must for the wannabe offended. His audience put downs are legendary. Jimmy Carr is actually quite nice by comparison.
He's now a diluted humour on the woke BBC!
@@PUNKinDRUBLIC72yes. Frankie used to be good but he is now a full certified BBC bum boy.
I think you'd get a kick out of reacting to andrew dice clay at rodney dangerfield's and andrew dice clay poems
He does gigs in America but he tones it down
"Feel guilty" for words ❓
Specially words that have been said to make people laugh, why?
😂😂
