TBH Title should have been Henning Wehn Kills it with his Anne Frank/Brexit joke but I guess maybe that was a little close to the line. Fuck sight funnier than what Jimmy said anyway (and not knocking him Jimmy is a great entertainer and comic)
Carr has some amazing social competence. This is why he gets away with jokes others would not get away with. I love how he leaves room for the applause.
@@Schmidtelpunkt naah, he gets away with it because his cruel jokes are actually funny. :P Lately (last 5-10 years) people seem to confuse insults with jokes and then gets pissed for being called out on it. 😆
@@andreaskarlsson5251 Something being funny changes nothing about the responsibility for having said it loud. "It is funny" is the laziest excuse ever, only topped by "It's just words".
The best thing a Frenchman like me ever did : learning english and having access to the best humour in the world. Between this, Who's Line Is It anyway, nevermind the buzzcocks, Blackadder, Fawlty Tower, years of laughter. Thank you British humour.
Moreover, the joke was a subversion. You're meant to think that the secret she tells Jimmy is how she's done Countdown for so long, but instead she provides an unrelated, disturbing secret
Haha, yeah, didn't notice that at first, but you're absolutely right! 😆 Also, thought Jon's comment to Henning was spot on, he put into words what I thought when I saw the episode - no way is Jimmy gonna go easy on Henning 😆😆
No, see Jon would be an absolute stickler and try to seem cool and alpha but get shut down. Sean would just tell everyone to go home because he didn't want to play
@@rikzz0r he was awarded it in 2005 so it's been >10 years and he still has it... Jimmy implies that revoking it must be really hard because he didn't deserve it. Well, that's the joke.
Carr's joke was scripted. Henning's was off-the-cuff and supremely wittier - taking an insult, reversing it and getting a bigger laugh. That's comedic art mate!
And the reactions are great. Sean almost pissing himself laughing, Jimmy clearly thinking 'he didn't just ...' and Victoria in doubt wether she finds it funny or not
If he made that remark In Germany or Austria, Henning could be in jail right now - not because of the obvious allusion, but since the yellow press (which merely consist of one lame 'The Sun'-imitation) would go mental for weeks until he banters himself into a punishable paraphrase during another interview... ...on the other hand, Henneng would not have dared to make that forced statement.
Bob rail. Jokes about animal abuse would not be racist. Jokes about a girl dying, even if you think it's horrible is still not racist .Using racist slurs ===== racist. Now I'm not even going to call you racist bob, although you present quite a fucking argument for yourself. But even if you weren't... your comment makes no fucking sense AT ALL.
he is not really making a joke about Anne Frank, he makes a joke about where Britain is heading and uses a krass allusion. The fact that he as a German does not shy away from Nazi jokes thus subverting the "Do not mention the war" trope about Germans is kind of what makes him appealing to you Brits, I think.
"You have to take the rough with the smooth and there are upsides to living in an attic. It's quite peaceful and I might even get a book out of it." Absolute genius 🤣
@@emjohnson76 I don't think it was about the pronunciation but rather the fact that she casually said she was writing articles for a big newspaper as a teenager...when in fact it's very impressive..
It's very impressive... For anyone other than Victoria, because you get the impression she was only doing it because she was too busy to write articles for Mensa, but writing for the telegraph was something she could do while having a wee. 🤣
I love the sudden change of tone at 5:06 by Jimmy, it shows just a little heart inside this fake-teethed monolith of Dracula’s less successful little brother.
Actually, Jimmy saying "This is fantastic news" was a setup to get the crowd to applaud vigorously - so that he could say "take it down until we know it's his." He would not have been able to do that joke if he had insulted Jon first. Then the crowd would have laughed - he needed applause so that he could say "take it down." In other words - it was a long-game insult.
Guess Who is an elimination game for children. They have a bunch of simple character pictures and you have to guess which single one your opponent has chosen for you. So you rule out extraneous characters by asking your opponent yes or no questions such as "Is it a man?" "Does he have a mustache?" "Does he wear glasses?" etc
The attic and "Might even get a book out of it" jokes are so funny.. I feel like a lot didn't understand it or they were afraid to laugh. Especially funny coming from a German, other end of the stick, so to speak. Henning is a treasure, we're lucky to have him.
Just remember all those wars in the past, when the german army gave a shit about any hostages: "General Hindenburg! The British are holding two Bavarians and a Saxon as hostages until we comply with their demands!" "Understood - let them know: we'll be happy to send them some Swabians as well if needed..."
brilliant programme I could watch them over and over... sean lock is hilarious infact they all just gel even dent (my bit of eye candy when I was a teenager)...miles jupp ( ballamory hamish) never disappoints...

@@kittyprydex I shit u not, Joe Wilkinson randomly popped into my head earlier, It was his competition to win a fence panel "That's yours, you can take that home" i cracked up. Sean lock is my all time fav' tho on this show & QI, an yeah you can see his affection for Joe.
As an American whose TV stations no longer seem to value comedy in the least, I get a laugh every day from these clips of Cats Countdown. Thank God the Brits still know how to laugh.
I love that you can hear Jimmy is genuine when he says "that's fantastic news" by how his voice changes tone. Only to go back instantly to a joke in his "regular" voice next sentence.

I love how he’s so cutting with his jokes, but he’s also so genuinely happy for Jon when he announces his wife’s pregnancy

Seans reaction as soon as Henning made that joke was just brilliant. A mix of "too far?" "Can he say that?" and straight up "You genius!". :D
Sean Lockes reaction to the German jokes is pure gold. Warms my heart
Somewhere in Henning’s family tree, there’s a hammerhead shark.
Discoloured Buttflaps oh god, can't stop laughing.
i always picture him as a vampire from buffy
Your profile picture looks a lot like Henning. Was that intentional or just a weird coincidence.
For me it's rather a grown up Stuart little

@Birds, Flight, Random Projects Ricky Gervais? Really? He has got to be one of the least funny annoying pricks on tv.
Do you like Eddie Izzard? He has done a few stand up shows in French, not sure how well it translates. Let me know if you watch one :)
The Victoria bit at 5:40 always makes me laugh because Jimmys laugh is so genuine.
damn i did not get that one
It’s honestly adorable
What's the joke?
The Anne Frank joke is killer. Even Jimmy has an expression of shock over a German making a Jew joke on national British Television. Brilliant.
Fuck them. It was hilarious!
"He's Austrian. Nothing to do with us." 🤣😂
@@SK-rc1vo dont expect from a Brit to know the difference!
@@SK-rc1vo Hitler was Austrian also. Everything to do with Germany and that hole.
Extraordinary that Rachel Riley hasn't denounced him as an anti-Semite.
I like how uncomfortable everyone was with laughing at that Anne Frank joke.
MrJade12 It was brilliant and also really really uncomfortable. Awesome stuff.
Too soon perhaps?
Yeah, it was a gas. Totally killed.
It was a sick burn.
Except for Sean Lock he was loving it... lmao
The joke about Susie's secret at the very end is the best.
Brilliant!
I don’t get it - care to explain?
@@CEO786 The joke is that she secretly kicked a dog to death. Its funny because she's not the type of person you would expect to kick a dog to death.

You can tell Sean was a big fan of Henning.
Jimmy didn't kill it, Henning did.
Fucking exterminated it!

wow! It's almost like we watched the same video!
Whats your two's problem? I put the quote up that I found funniest...
but you did it wrong
Sean loved that one. His eyes lit up. I think that's the funniest one as well. Henning took it like a champ.
Henning jokes are never disappointing
magragdoll the Anne Frank joke was a killer😂😂😂
Those were genuinely clever jokes. I think it took the audience a second to connect the dots, because those were fucking hilarious.
I've only seen Sean laugh like that a few times!
his jokes were actually quite savage. 😂😂
Not for me
why have they got this Nazi on
Never forget
"Do you get money from Guess who?" Was the best
I love how this starts with Hening telling John he doesn't have to take that and John telling him his turn is coming. And ends with Henings's joke.
Haha, yeah, didn't notice that at first, but you're absolutely right! 😆
Also, thought Jon's comment to Henning was spot on, he put into words what I thought when I saw the episode - no way is Jimmy gonna go easy on Henning 😆😆

Idea: reverse it and have Jon as the host and Jimmy as a contestant for one episode
Only if Jon wears a suit and Jimmy wears a cardigan
I Call Shotgun Sean would be a better pick
No, see Jon would be an absolute stickler and try to seem cool and alpha but get shut down. Sean would just tell everyone to go home because he didn't want to play
I really like Jimmy when he's a guest in a panel show, so sure.

Then he wouldn't be the same person would he? holy f. Like saying a paedophile wouldn't be a paedophile if they didn't mess with kids.

The best one for me was David Walliams laughing at Jonathon Ross' OBE gag! "I know but it's true".

so then whats the real quote genius?
I just mentioned it because that particular episode aired when the whole Palmyra thing was all over the headlines, if you follow the news.

"Maybe some teeth in a glass.." 🤣
Jimmy Carr is a comedic genius.
Hennings response was great! :-)
"Do you get money from guess who?" Lol
I didn't get that (I also don't know what Guess Who is). Is it because he looks like different people?
I wasn’t going to swear but was f ing brilliant 👏🏼👏🏼
The hostage one. That was good.
Literally laughed the whole way throughout
Henning killed it with his comeback
