its really refreshing to hear jimmy talk in a passionate and open way. im so used to him in his presenting/performing rhetoric and style, its nice to see him relax and just chat.
Today I was in Starbucks and I was standing next to Jimmy Carr for about 10 minutes in the queue and I was so excited! He was on his phone writing stuff in his notes and seemed in a rush so I didn't bother him! Love him so much! :)
It is a little bit gratifying to hear two of my favorite British comedians professing admiration for some of my favorite American comedians. Intelligent, dark, pervy, snark are the common denominators for me. Frankie Boyle and Jimmy Carr are two brilliantly funny men. I do admit that I have no "gag-reflex" for comedy. No joke has ever offended as much as inoffensive humor does.
You have GOT to listen to the American comedian Anthony Jeselnik. One thing to note: he is not topical or political. No "sharp" commentary on government or society. 😴😴😴........Just extremely droll, clever and witty jokes about race, religion, drug overdoses, rape, murder, arson, armed robbery, AIDS, 9/11, mass shootings, dead babies, poor people, pedophilia, and necrophilia. With a slow, measured delivery. He's one of my all-time favorite comedians.
@@aslanilyayasa8146 Explaining a funny moment always removes the funny, but I don't believe it was meant as a joke but it was funny. It's funny on a few levels, one because it's so random, just who says that, just very unexpected. Two it could be construed as a subtle dig at Jimmy and Frankie that the most interesting question / statement the audience member could say was about how good the camera man was at his job. Thirdly it's their reaction to it, they were dumbstruck. Fourth and most importantly, I think the audience member meant it genuinely and non maliciously which makes it both sweet and highlights a potential flaw in the audience members understanding of what would be an acceptable and respectable comment to make in that given situation. Jimmy and Frankie were only on stage for a short set, with a few questions, his comment was unnecessary as it's a given that the camera man (who was doing an adequate job tbh) should be doing a good job, it's his job (probably should highlight the hard work of these invisible hands more tbh) and taking time away from any real or probing questions from other audience members. And finally it's all of the above which makes it funny together, combining an insult, social awkwardness, randomness and deviating from the norm, all in one quick phrase. It's all in how you process a joke is why it's funny imo, all in the space of a couple of seconds one can think: Immediately: *confused* "What, huh, so random, so out of context" next: "why is he talking about the camera man?" next: "given this circumstance that's a socially random thing to do and say" next: "did he mean that as an insult" next: *laugh at jimmy and frankies reaction* "they agree, it was weird, and the audience thought it was weird/ funny too" next: "was that an insult though? or was he being nice?" next: "confusion" next: this opens up a whole new kettle of fish of what could occur next.
@@aslanilyayasa8146 No worries, it was a good question, I guess it's good to step back and think why something is the way it is, but always humour is relative, so my explanation could be different to someone elses!
Maria Bamford is one the most brilliant comics I've ever seen. The jokes are funny at face value but there is a very dark undertone that runs through everything. Makes sense Frankie would dig her.
tonedog77 From her main act you don't pick up on it at first. I recommend watching the serial she created from her home in the midwest. In it she impersonated her family and friends and gave glimpses of how depressed she was. It starts to come off like a Greek tragedy where everything that can go wrong does and all b/c of her flawed personality. It's positively brilliant.
Jimmy Carr is probably in the top 5 of stand-ups on the UK circuit, Frankie Boyle is probably in the top 1! Neither of them care, THIS makes them so good! Go watch them kiddies, worth every penny.
Political correctness and comedy have always been at odds. Frankie is definitely at odds with it, and that's one of the reasons he's my number one comic - alongside Bill Hicks - and why the comedians that bow down to P.C. are way down on the list. Frankie makes me cry laughing and cringe all in one stand up show. He's one of the masters of comedy.
+Dan Cog You mean corporate correctness. The reason why things have gone this way is basically to control the masses, if you have intelligent entertainers that don't follow the script, they're more likely to make you think & be happy which is a threat to corporate capitalism. The elite need obedience, division and hatred to remain in power.
I think they care very much. When Frankie is joking about the disabled it's because he cares about their issues for example. That's the difference between great comedians and poor ones.
If i go and see tim vine and then reel off a load of his jokes, i have my family in stitches…but watching a proper comedian doing brechtian alienation…well crafted…is hilarious
+Mustafa Gottenaboutit Jimmy's laugh is one of the most genuine sounding on British TV. I get a little nervous once in a while, when he laughs uproariously at jokes that I myself don't find all that funny, but I never doubt that he's sincere, unlike some other TV personalities.
the fact that they named maria bamford, anthony jeselnik, bill burr, etc (all of whom i love) as their favorite american comedians pleases me to no end. Especially frankie boyle. I would never have pegged him for a bamford fan.
I'm embarrassed to admit that I'd never even heard of Maria Bamford before this, so I'm very grateful for that alone. She's instantly one of my favourite comics of all time.
Matt Dyne Read some of his books. He talks about various experiences writing on and generally just enjoying drugs. He also explains how and why he quit drinking alcohol. Great reads all round.
"everything is character... you know, when you're nice to your girlfriend's parents, that's character... There isn't an essencial you..." so true, I love this guy already, gotta go watch his stand ups now
I love how Slough plays such a great part in British Comedians' lives :D Member Ricky Gervais' song "Slough" too. Equidistant b'tween London and Reading :)
Frankie is the nations true laureate... his respect from the public with his national narrative similar to the power of Michaela Strachans expert commitment to owls of various types
31:30 seen both of em live doin 15/20 min at the stand and they were both great, the reason frankie laughed so loud was that the stand is a strict no heckling club. I even saw dylan moran one night who forgot he had a show so we all waited an hour and a half for him to make the rest of his trip from Edinburgh. He still got clapped on, in a venue with maby 50 chairs and a tiny bar, he got clapped off after 8mins cause of a heckler nobody heard then a light nobody saw. Put it this way, my we sis still got an autograph along side afew folk after the show. Its a very friendly place to go to.
I agree, but it's not really an insult-his performance makes up for it. And for the record, I think Jimmy Carr's delivery/performance is pitiful; *he* should just be a writer (and presenter).
You can take this one of two ways. A. Lee Evans is so funny, he doesn't need a great deal of structured material B. Take away the silly faces and the sweating, and his act is a bit crap. Either way, saying someone is funny then adding 'FACT' at the end doesn't mean anything. You and plenty of others find him funny, and that's great. I'm not that bothered abput him either way, and I'm surr some people hate his work. It just goes to shpw that there are probably no 'facts' when it comes to comedy, just subjective opinion.
31:30 The Stand... rough crowds. It's in fucking Partick. I go to Parick for my holidays and I live in Moodiesburn. Saving up a few years to go to Milngavie or Bearsden
Frankie comes across so much friendlier when he's in a different setting and not doing a show but Jimmy seems exactly the same in both lol
Best comedian ever
I suspect Asbergers..
On stage characters are......on stage characters
Compared to a couple of bosses I have had, Frankie is a meek, gentle, vulnerable person.
its really refreshing to hear jimmy talk in a passionate and open way. im so used to him in his presenting/performing rhetoric and style, its nice to see him relax and just chat.
I would love a Jimmy Carr podcast or talk show. Love that guy
I love this because it's 2 proper comedians who are really intelligent talking seriously about today's worlds take on comedy.
Humanises both of them and only adds to their comedy
So he actually laughs like that in real life too.
Fucking wonderful. I can die in peace.
Absolute pleasure hearing these men talk aswell!
you talking about Frankie or Jimmy? hahah both have peculiar laughs
Definitely franky. Im sure jimmy doesnt even know what his real laugh is
You can hear Jimmy's real laugh a couple of times in Cats. It's a completely normal laugh.
@@robertTaggart1996 Frankie's laugh is relatively tame.
Jimmy laughs like a horny seagull.
carr laughs while breathing in.
Frankie Boyle citing Bill Burr. I didn't think I could appreciate him more than I already do.
Just checking INNNNNNNNNN on YAAAA
I made an account just to like this comment
@@ollygrant2516 lol.
Citing Bill Burr thereeeeeee
And Doug Stanhope. That's the real insider hero right there.
It's amazing the universe didn't explode when these two laughed at the same time.
My 2 favourite comedians. Absolutely brilliant at what they do.
Paul Lum thinking about it, you're right.
Jimmy is a surprisingly good interviewer.
I would love to see him do more long form conversations.
Today I was in Starbucks and I was standing next to Jimmy Carr for about 10 minutes in the queue and I was so excited! He was on his phone writing stuff in his notes and seemed in a rush so I didn't bother him! Love him so much! :)

+Al Berajudge HAHAHAHA

How typical, a tax avoider drinking from a multimillion tax avoiding corporation 😆
No you werent
"You are so ginger you could get skin cancer from a crescent moon"
Frankiiiiiie Boyyyyleeee
"you could get skin cancer from a holiday brochure"
-once again, frankie boyle
Being a starkly, pale white redhead, I'll have to remember that.
And it's true, hell I burn on a cloudy, overcast day in Oregon.
Filming In Portland XD Funny
Sir, I thank you! That is very flattering.
Have a bright day yourself as well!
marrydruli Frankie Boyle is so Scottish, he looks like he eats deep fried mars bars 5 times a day

Pity Frankie didn't get a chance to speak.
I was always a fan of Frankie but I've just got to taking Jimmy seriously and he's excellent. It's nice to see the two together.
It's amazing how prophetic Frankie is with his 'they could pick any one, they are all like that ' when talking about getting into trouble for a joke.
These guys are my muses. They know how to make people laugh, and for that they deserve eternal praise.
Two of Britain's better comedians.
the worlds *
maybe the world... maybe yeah..
No. ONE of Britain's best comedians.
1.5
One of Scotlands best comedians?
I nearly died laughing when the guy in the audience complimented the camera man
dying. Only just seen that, amazing!
I didn't get the joke. Why did he congratulate the cameraman?

Two of my favorites. Neither ever fails to make me feel better.
Jimmy Carr is such a goddamn professional.
Frankie looks 25 years younger without his beard.
I think the beard suits him
24 yrs
Same iz Jack black

4 Everyone saying shut up Carr let Frankie talk. Franky communicates his self beautifully
It's REALLY interesting listening to comedians talk about their trade.

Frankie Boyle is a smart wee fellow
Scott Schrader ALL comedians are very intelligent. Comes with the territory.
Colin Tatum Explain Carlos Mencia then 😂
@@colintatum6872 Yeah, no. There's a shitload of dumb comedians, you don't have to be smart to be funny. Frankie is just blessed with both.
@@colintatum6872 most of best comedians are some of the comedians think they are ie joe rogan
It’s good to see two comedians being serious about their trade. Too many comedians try to be funny with something like this and they are not.
Really enjoy these guys. They seem intrinsically content with themselves. That is a cool trait
If i go and see tim vine and then reel off a load of his jokes, i have my family in stitches…but watching a proper comedian doing brechtian alienation…well crafted…is hilarious
both their laughs are ridiculous
That's what I thought
i'd much rather listen to jimmy's laugh though tbh lol that other guy's just grated on my ears
Jimmy's is like laughing in reverse and Frankie is like you started having a seizure, mid laughing.
cjzona123 omg that is the most perfect explanation of jimmy's laugh i've ever heard/read

I love the fact that at this point they had no idea how many golden jimmy saville jokes would follow haha.
17:49 i love how jimmy acknowledged anthony jeselnik. frankie, jimmy and anthony are the patron of dark jokes.
Overpriced??
What a brilliant video of 2 of my favourite comedians. I could listen to them all day
I will enjoy the hell out of this interview. And wish they hosted a podcast.
OMG, Frankie Boyle loves Maria Bamford, who is one of my favorite comedians of all time. I. Love. Her. And now I adore Frankie Boyle as well.
the fact that they named maria bamford, anthony jeselnik, bill burr, etc (all of whom i love) as their favorite american comedians pleases me to no end. Especially frankie boyle. I would never have pegged him for a bamford fan.
100% agree
I'm embarrassed to admit that I'd never even heard of Maria Bamford before this, so I'm very grateful for that alone.
She's instantly one of my favourite comics of all time.
Jimmy is happy doing what he does ,Frankie seems an amiable but more driven man ,both are very funny , always glad to hear them.
Anyone else keep trying to wipe your screen thinking their is crumbs on it to realise it's actually their Mike's 😂
Jimmy talking about 'The Stand' in Glasgow and the word 'rough' in the same sentence lol. One of if not the best area in Glasgow.
easily the two best comedians of our time, seen both live, masters of timing.
Saw this for the first time today and really enjoyed it.
take a shot every time Jimmy says "it's a weird thing"
Frankie wrote part of his book on acid.
Well now I love him even more
I love Frankies laugh❤️
Great conversation. Love these two guys 👍
Proud to be Scottish when I watch frankie
Frankie Boyle is best.
Love that Jimmy mentioned Dudley! Seen him there twice, smashed it both times
I imagine Frankie's quite a chilled guy really, didn't have him down as a tripper.
Matt Dyne Read some of his books. He talks about various experiences writing on and generally just enjoying drugs. He also explains how and why he quit drinking alcohol. Great reads all round.
Huh? People who take trips are by nature pretty chilled
my two favourite comedians. we need to see a roast battle!
"everything is character... you know, when you're nice to your girlfriend's parents, that's character... There isn't an essencial you..."
so true, I love this guy already, gotta go watch his stand ups now
Listening in 2020 it is interesting hearing them talk about Jimmy Saville and Louis CK.
*Sees title and thumbnail*
oh boy......THE TWO most offensive comedians ive ever seen in an interview together......
dis gun b goooood
Two of the best giggles on tv 📺
one thing i like about Jimmy Carr is how earnest he seems to be, on interview as well as on stage...
i wrote it on acid - i love these two BIG TIME
I always think of Jimmy Carr as a middle class Frankie boyle
My two favorite stand ups.
Frankie shouting out doug stanhope just made my day.
6:21 just when he said we’ll show a clip, an advert popped up about Jimmy savile going “women know too much” honestly howling
I love how Slough plays such a great part in British Comedians' lives :D Member Ricky Gervais' song "Slough" too. Equidistant b'tween London and Reading :)
Both brilliant - love the redlines and barriers they destroy - extremely funny. (ironic last two words)
The Greatest interview ever
this is great
I've actually wondered for a while what Carr thinks about Jeselnik.
17:45
jeselnik loves frankie and carr aswell
This was excellent thank you
Frankie is ridiculously intelligent
My two favourite comedians together!
Different league to most out there

Its weird seeing Frankie wearing a shirt, I've been so used to him wearing a suit. Both brilliant comedian. Never fails to make me laugh.
His laugh sounds like a metal detector
I love Frankie❤️
Frankie, who doesn’t like performing, is ironically an excellent performer. It’s not just his writing, he does characters that ring true in his jokes
Very good 'interview' and I'd love seeing more done by contemporary stand up comics.
legends in the making - go boys
"You look so ginger you could get skin cancer from a crescent moon." - Frankie Boyle
I don't think i'll ever get over Jimmy's laugh :)
The two greatest comedians around !
''Surprising ways fro sentences to end.'' Perfect
this is awesome!
Both are really good. A lot of depth and good analyses .
Thank you for the upload.
When is this from? Evidently form a time when Christmas 2013 was far into the future.
2 of the best of Britain!
freaking legends man
Two of my favourite comedians.
agree frankie!!!
Ad placement was perfectly timed
Terrific deconstruction of comedy. Plus, those laughs. I'd forgotten how ridiculous Frankie's was.
No GOOD content but LOTS of energy. I wonder who that could be..
*COUGH* Michael McIntyre *COUGH*
I agree, but it's not really an insult-his performance makes up for it.
And for the record, I think Jimmy Carr's delivery/performance is pitiful; *he* should just be a writer (and presenter).
@@luke-alex Jimmy carr is unique, i agree theres not much to his shows at all. But its simple and everyone can follow it..
Luke Alexander you are wrong
Lee Evans also
The worst crowd work on the planet.
these guys are great
The part at the beginning where they talk about comedians who are all energy/no material.... Immediately thought of Lee Evans LOL
Lee Evans is very funny. FACT.
You can take this one of two ways.
A. Lee Evans is so funny, he doesn't need a great deal of structured material
B. Take away the silly faces and the sweating, and his act is a bit crap.
Either way, saying someone is funny then adding 'FACT' at the end doesn't mean anything. You and plenty of others find him funny, and that's great. I'm not that bothered abput him either way, and I'm surr some people hate his work. It just goes to shpw that there are probably no 'facts' when it comes to comedy, just subjective opinion.
This was really good .
So happy they mentioned Anthony Jeselnik and Bill Burr. They are great
Nice that the God of comedy Chris Morris got a mention from Frankie 👍🏻
Quality😷👍
31:30 The Stand... rough crowds. It's in fucking Partick. I go to Parick for my holidays and I live in Moodiesburn. Saving up a few years to go to Milngavie or Bearsden

It's strange seeing two comics from two very different countries, getting along so well together!
