    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.

      There was once a Canadian comic who said something very true about the difference in Americans to Brits. After 911 Americans mourned for years. After the tube and bus bombings in London just months after 911. People were queuing for the bus the next day. *looks at watch* "the bus is late." "It blew up yesterday." Yh but that was yesterday today it's late.

    The way Jimmy does his offensive jokes is that he throws a twist you don’t see coming which is what makes you laugh, he isn’t just being offensive for offensive sake. He also keeps going in in the joke before you’ve gotten over the previous punch line so it adds layers while if he waited much linger for the next line it wouldn’t be as funny

  • @steveholliday1599

    Your point "Is it bad that I think this is funny", is exactly Jimmy's style. He goes into topics that "aren't OK to talk about", talks about them, usually pointing out some hypocrisy, and you laugh because you recognise the (tiny) kernel of truth in it. Most people leave his shows thinking "I really shouldn't have been laughing".
    Also - your comment "This was some years ago and it might not be appropriate now": This style and topics is pretty much still his routine today (in fact the video you watched was relatively mild for him).

The fact that the cartoon depicted the prophet in a negative light was the bigger problem they had though.

    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.

    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.

    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. Don't ask me *what* he said, it was a long time ago now, but I did chuckle.
