Does Jimmy know Obama and Biden are still against gay marriage? That doesnt change in ur 50s (or 70s in bidens case) 😂. They just caved to the left in order to obtain/keep power. Their public view changed but i can almost guarantee their private view did not.
@@CaptainHowdy-mw9vc I love CK and agree and relate to a lot of what he says, but he was completely out of touch when it came to issues of Covid and politics in general. He seemed to suffer from a minor case of TDS.
@@VenomShotYou aaah ok, I see what you mean. I have seen clips of some of CK's appearances on US podcasts and he does seem to tread more carefully nowadays. Like when he went on with Tim Dillon and he didn't want to be drawn on the debate regarding that transvestite teacher with the massive fake tits. But tbh, I am sick of discussion on vaccines and lockdowns now tbh. I'd be more interested in what he thinks of the UK comedy scene vs USA and what his awareness is about the differences, especially regarding censorship.
Yeah, Louis CK doesn't believe every bit of unsubstantiated bollocks about Covid and vaccines that Rogan does. He's also not a Trump cultist. Very disappointing. /s
I was a sponsored skateboarder for many years when I was younger and kids would always tell me I'm so lucky because I had brand new everything all the time but then they'd see me walking with a cane after ankle surgeries, and I asked them how lucky they think I am now. I didn't get that stuff for no reason. I destroyed my body for it the kids don't see that part of it. They only see you with the photo in the magazine, but they don't realize what you went through to get it, and that you could barely walk for the next few days, because of the sacrifices you made.
"what you've got" is the outcome of the journey. Going through the journey isn't easy so I understand why some would just look at the outcome. But that's shallow thinking. These people being envious of what others have. And we all can fall into it, some stay in it, others snap out of it, quick. Also, some just got the "thing" easier than others so people not just envy the thing but hate or despise the people who have the thing.
As a gypsy myself , Jim is the only one that ever addressed us and brought light to the fact we were right alongside jews in concentration camps.I never heard any celebrity ever talk about us, I felt included and while It might sound offensive majority of us understood that jimmy is amazing guy for actually addressing us in this world. Thank you jim much respect for that.
That table would cost upwards of £50k to make and if anyone in that room owned it you can be damn sure they would be using coasters. Disrespectful peasants.
Jimmy is afraid to joke about Islam in the same way he jokes about Christianity. All comedians are and that’s just a fact. Don’t get me wrong, I get why. But to deny it is just silly.
"We don't mind bom-bing the hell out of Muslims and justifying genocide against them, but we'll pretend to be afraid to joke against them, because that pretension helps us stay racists" - ladies and gentlemen, western right wing for you.
Lets not focus on religion. Its totally unfair to point to one specific thing. Lets be totally clear, its NOT just Islam - its all ideologies that have radicalist members, and protection from woke society.
I love the idea of changing the narrative. My son was in a rut in high school last year (year 10) and on his own (with many conversations) he made the decision that he wanted to have a fresh start at a new school. Now, this year at a new school he is really enjoying his time there with his teachers, and classmates. He is so much happier with himself. Amazing to see, and we are so very proud of him.
He just can't seem to understand that people who don't make a living by making edgy jokes need some level of anonymity in order to voice their opinion.
He isn’t uninformed; rather, he's conscious of which opinions are culturally acceptable and which are not. He's a Centrist Dad playing the Court Edgelord.
it's not bizarre at all. It actually makes perfect sense. And if you think you are right all the time, rather than right on something and uninformed on others - you are sorely mistaken. Everybody is wrong on at least some things at any given time.
Watching kk and francis try to keep a straight face whilst a multi millionaire living in a gated community gushes about wanting more migration was hilarious 😂.
Not many immigrants undercutting *his* wages. It's fine to talk about encouraging immigrants with STEM training.....unless your job depends on that and your relative wages have been declining for decades because of cheaper immigrant competition (especially temporary visa competition)
Ask Alistair Williams, Andrew Lawrence and many others that got taken through the mill for having an opinion and a stance backed up by their own principles.
@@Liberaven I think you missed my point. I like him, but if he wasn't rich he wouldn't be saying half of what he has. Also, party line? So your one of those sad people that think everything is politics. Both sides are shit
When you're as wealthy as him you live in the proverbial bubble. Money protects you from the realities of rampant street crime. You like immigration because its a _great idea_ a melting pot of all the colourful cultures of the world. Then you have the actuality of Pakistanis rioting against Indians over a cricket match in another country etc etc.
10:33 "If you've got slaves you have 6 weeks to free them or we're coming in to clean house" Fantastic idea. People love US World Police. What could possibly go wrong?
People didn't hate the US helping people, they hated us going over there under false pretenses, picking and choosing "democratically" elected leaders, and setting up base to ensure the flow of oil. If we actually did the things we said we were going to do, no one would have a problem. It's all the other things we do when we get there that people hate.
80% of Iranians are de facto enslaved, more culturally than economically. I'm subscribed to a bunch of ex-Muslims. Susanna and Armin are former Antifa and former Muslim.
usa have to realize the world doesnt turn around them and they arent a world force just because of weapons... the totaly distabalized southeastern europe in the last 20 years. they always think they can "save" the world..
Four minutes in and an Irish heritage bloke (who has the same culture as the English) is telling us we need more migrants. We might need more Irish immigrants or people with our culture but blanket immigrants is a no no edit: 6 1/2 minutes Obama was a good guy. It sure I’m gonna like this
Have to call you out on that one. English culture and Irish culture are not the same. Its the reason for the common phrase in Ireland "Christ, but the English are weird".
@catscan2022 It wasn't an obsession. Dave Allen's jokes about the Catholic Church in the 70s was the equivalent of a 'mainstream' comedian today taking the piss out of the left, wokism and Islam. It was actually quite radical.
@catscan2022 well I just thought Dave Allen was hilarious so it didn't get tiresome or boring to me tbh. Just like I always found Peter Kay really funny, because much of the 'brand' or 'origin of matetial' in his comedy strikes a chord with my childhood.
Jimmy did the best take down of a heckler I've ever heard. It was 20+ years ago at the Hen & Chickens and Jimmy was killing it, but there was a really drunk guy just being a dick and shouting out crap. Jimmy said "I took up comedy as I thought it would make me a bit of a fanny magnet, but I never dreamed it'd attract a c%&t like you" 🤣🤣
I kind of wish I hadn't watched this. I luv Jimmy - funny and sharp - I have tickets to an upcoming show - but some of his political takes stink. Basically, the comfortable middle class liberal perspective of someone that has clearly never, for example, had to deal with the downsides (which are many) of unbridled mass immigration, especially from parts of the world where social mores do not comport with our own (i.e. Genuine integration is not possible - a huge, festering problem). That he cannot see what a hell-hole America is becoming under the corrupt post-modernists in power (one of whom likes showering with his d@ughter) is actually worrying. Bright but misguided, unfortunately - I bailed after half an hour because I've just bought his book and I want to be able to enjoy it, and not resent the author! Put the Guardian down, Jim.
If you can't enjoy someone's art, comedy, or company solely because of their political views, you are no better than a raving leftist who can't do the same. Someone like Michael Malice is a great role model in that regard. He loves politics, but never lets it get in the way of his friendships or enjoyment of art, nor should he. Nor should anyone.
Twelve minutes in and I'm still waiting for anyone to challenge Jimmy on any of his takes. This isn't an interview, it's a monologue. Reparations for slavery? Come on fellas. Immigration is good for London? The US is objectively the best it's ever been? Tell that to the inhabitants of LA (the normal residents that is). Obama a great President? Having said that, his idea of having the have a purpose of ending slavery isn't a bad one, other than the potential to start more wars.
I've never nodded my head agreeing and also shaken my head side to side to vehemently disagreeing with certain points as much as much in any episode as ive done in this one. 😂
I took that to mean some kind of recompense would be good - hence his thoughts about paying it forward to tackle current slavery. But I might be wrong!
@@acacia_w paying it forward? They already have. Slavery used to be a commonly accepted thing all over the world, and they ended that. They are literally the heroes in the slavery story. Now it's an underground thing.
London has only very recently gone from 90%+ white British to about 30%. Some people might say that makes it a better place, but I'm not sure a native londoner would agree.
As a family of native Londoners, some still living there - myself moving for work, it is depressing, especially in such a short turnaround - our roots are permanently altered.
So where would you get your workers? Who will serve you at the restaurant you love? Who is working at the factories? Bottom line is every country NEEDS immigrants. No one in America or England is having enough children. Why? Cuz no one can afford to have a family anymore. So birth rates are dropping everywhere. What to do? End poverty. Or realize the end game of capitalism kills the planet. Period. Constant growth is flatly unsustainable. What’s the answer? I dunno
Im disabled and I've had people complain to HR that me making jokes about me makes them feel uncomfortable! 😂 Id be embarrassed telling anyone I felt "uncomfortable" about someone who hasnt disappeared into the shadows and turned to stimulants to silence their mental health issues.
The difference is like night and day. That Bassem guy obfuscated every single point, and constantly tried to take the conversation into rhetorical cul de sacs. You can agree or disagree with Jimmy but he speaks with absolute clarity.
@@bobbydavy88 I think I managed about 25 then gave up, first time I've not watched a Trig interview all the way through regardless of how much I disagree with the guest.
@@banangnang Pretty much. I disagree with some of his points but that's fine, I don't need to agree with everything someone thinks provided it's a good faith discussion, which this one was.
In his last special he said he wouldn’t mock islam because he’s “not a fucking idiot”. Then he asked if the christians wanted the same privilege they ought to consider blowing something up 🤣 “what are the christians gonna do? Forgive me?”
It's pretty difficult to criticise Islam as a famous person. You potentially put yourself, your family and friends at risk. so it may be a sacred cow for him, but I suspect for a good reason.
Do you differentiate between western migration vs low income dysfunctional refugees who often hate British people and hate everything about British culture and aim for revenge? That is a question, not an argument.
I work in London every week, the north, south, east & west. It is crap wherever you, either really posh & entitled people or really poor, aggressive with high crime rates. One thing is constant tho, the traffic is also terrible as well as overly expensive. Only very, very rich people will say London is the best city in the world. Or the naive.
I sometimes go to London because I have friends there, and it's always nice to see 'em. But after that I always get out of there as fast as I darn well can.
@@Pininfarina81 talk for yourself mate. Everybody has got a different and subjective experience. The only thing London doesn't have is nice weather. But you can't have everything!
Jimmy is in that Bill Maher mentality of voicing opinions that are unsupported by facts, because he _wants_ them to be true. If I had to find a word to describe his outlook on things it would probably be 'glib': "Having a ready flow of words but lacking thought or understanding; superficial; "
LOL - 'America has never been better!' 40-50 years ago american middle class families could own their home and a car on daddy's salary while mommy stayed home. Nowadays they just about break even when both parents are making $ 60-70k a year and minimum wages haven't risen until recently (in some sectors) for approximately the same time period. American educational system is pi$$ poor (compared to other western societies) unless you have the money to pay for premium. National healthcare is just as bad as educations, spearheaded by companies with primary focus on their annual net result. I find it remarkable that everso many americans, who have lived abroad in comparable societies, return to America - only to find their beloved US to be in shambles in comparison. Now, it can't all be that bad - and definitely isn't, but the vibe I get from Mr. Carr is off by more than a mile as far as I know, and to hear that he's been studying social sciences makes me wonder, what specific classes he has ben attending.
I would take what a multimillionaire comedian says with a giant pinch of salt. It’s like the old saying about the Queen thinking everywhere smelled of paint, because everywhere she visited was refurbished before a royal visit.
Reparations is hundreds of millions of African lives saved by Western technology, medicine, science and charity. The population has tripled since the 1950s.
Incredible interview… if anyone had said I would have watched Jimmy Carr for nearly an hour and a half I would have raised a sceptical eyebrow. Remarkable and insightful
Agreed. Everyone I know, working class people, just watched their rent raise hundreds within two years. A single bedroom apartment where Im located In Wisconsin is damn near Chicago prices.
Carr is totally detached from reality. He lives in a bubble. On his show - when asked if he had ever been in a Lidl? He said he doesn’t go to super markets. He doesn’t seem to talk to his colleagues on his show. He didn’t know that Dent and Riley regularly holiday abroad together. His views throughout this are warped, he seems very misinformed or worse, is informed and comes out with this shit. He comes across as a total arsehole.
I think his reparations comment is being misinterpreted a lot in this comments section. I don't think he was saying that asking every white person to pay reparations is a good idea, he was saying that if it was at all possible to correctly identify who owes money to who, then it would be a worthy act of solidarity. But he acknowledges that it is impossible and therefore it wouldn't/shouldn't happen.
@@Belzediel I disagree. Unless you're talking the people who enslaved reimbursing the people they enslaved, then anything else is people who didn't enslave anyone paying people who weren't enslaved.
@@CaptainHowdy-mw9vc I'd argue that once the link between slave and the person who did the enslaving is broken, nobody owes anyone frankly. Reparations always gets into this sticky 'sins of the father and beyond" type rhetoric.
Was waiting for the core Triggernometry fans to come out. " whats he bloody mean, immigrants are the problem " Whilst an immigrant KK, and two first generation immigrants show the benefits of immigration.
@@royboy4571 Of course, some immigrants come to this country and have a positive impact. That's not what the above comment is picking on. Have you seen the immigration increase since 2019, let alone in the last 20 years. Of course, immigration, to some extent, is good, but to proclaim the best thing about London is immigration is ridiculous and shows Carrs' lack of knowledge of history and what has changed as we have increased immigration in this country. The two successful migrants on screen are successful; from your point of view, we should see a proportional increase in very successful/positive impact migration, which would add to this country, but we don't. Instead, it's the opposite, putting pressure on the housing, social welfare and NHS systems, as the sheer influx of people is too much to handle.
@@royboy4571 Migrants from countries with similar enough societies to ours, not some savage fucking animals that behead people for any reason they can think of.
KK, nearly bit his tounge. But KK revealed himself, an immigrant who pushes the anti-immigrant agenda, had no answer or too scared because he knew his spot in the world of celebrity. A few rungs below JC. I would guess both, because, he is not brave or consistent, just ambitious, and who doesn't want to not get invited to Jummy's next party.
Women can be entertaining but only Joan Rivers was ever actually funny. Most male comedians are also only entertaining but a few are smart and hard working enough regarding their material and delivery to be genuinely funny.
i have to admit i was pissed when he defended the vaccine thing. even though i got that damn shot. i still wish more people stood up for the people who chose not to
Jimmy has a lot of great views but he doesn’t even begin to understand American gun culture /2A. That aside, he is a very bright and observant guy. I love his shows.
The government does, yeah. And it's destroying the hope and the future of the middle class. Infinite money for Ukraine and none for the American people.
Jimmy came to New Zealand last year. At the show I attended he called out those of us who weren't jabbed and belittled us and made us the butt of his jokes. He wasn't "joking" though. He meant every word he said as part of an agenda.
@@JJRM8 Because he's making out in this pod that he was only joking. That he wasn't being serious. That's BS. He's being extremely duplicitous. I did enjoy the show though. Never said I didn't.
99.9% of people are not against migration/immigration. What most people object to is uncontrolled migration. Open borders not only allows people with honorable intentions to more easily enter a country, but allows easy access for those with much less honorable intentions to operate. A huge influx of people will also likely shock the economy and overburden programs designed to help people in need. The people most affected by these are the lowest on the economic scale and whose voices tend to be least heard.
Maybe it's just the rest of us getting older but there's certainly a number of 'comedians' from the generation after Jimmy who barely deserve the moniker. James Acaster, Aisling Bea, Richard Ayoade, Big Narsty and such are perfectly fine but for every one of them, there's a Tom Allen, Sarah Pascoe or Nish Kumar where you're baffled as to how they manage to make a living.
@@tomcapping2136 they aren’t parallels for a few reasons. Polio was absolutely devastating to everybody who got it. You’ve never heard of a mild case of polio. And the polio vaccine was an actual vaccine, and there was already a track record. The mRNA vaccines are technically gene therapy. They’re not actually vaccines, and they were a novel technology that had never been used before so to mandate a literally experimental medical intervention for young people who were more likely to die from peanuts than Covid makes them very different cases indeed. there were also plenty of red flags like the absolute lie, that they were “safe and effective“ because those terms have specific definitions. They could not possibly have known it was safe because they were brand new, and not enough time had passed to be able to understand possible long-term ramifications. That’s how linear time works. A traditional vaccine can still pose problems, but the background of them is extremely well understood and they had been used many times before polio, so this wasn’t venturing forth into uncharted territory. I can go on and on, but my final point would be the lack of uptake for booster shots. Most people realized that unless you were compromised by being fat sick or old, the vaccines weren’t really helpful so they didn’t bother. Polio? Indisputable track record. Very different things.
Y'know Jimmy's comment on America ending slavery is funny to me, because the same people who are about reparations for descendants of slaves are broadly the same people who supported allowing (more) illegal immigration which is one of the leading avenues for modern slavery.
his analogue was incredibly naive. If you took the existing gun club the NRA and saw the states for illegal use of those members it would be tiny sub 1% of all gun crime in comparison to illegally held firearms.
We're all from somewhere else a generation ago. Errm, no we're not. All of my great grandparents are from the UK. The same as probably the majority of Brits.
I'm Swedish. Literally all my relatives on my father's side as far back as I have seen (1600s ish) is from 20-30 km away from where he and I were raised. My mum's side farther afield, but still afaik 100 % Swedish. We used to be one of the most ethnically homogenous places on earth, even more so than Britain because we didn't even have vikings and Normans invading and intermingling. Modern Swedes have been formed over 12 000 years on this land, since the end of the last Ice Age, and we threw cohesiveness, belonging and community in the trash in 30 years to be replaced by cultures that are quite literally as far from the Swedish one as it's possible to be, looking at the World Values Survey. And Britain is doing the same albeit slightly less radically, because you are not quite as cursed with 80 years of social engineering experimentation by nigh-continuous socialist rule
Vikings, Danes, Romans, Anglo-Saxons, Normans, Hugonots, Irish etc. all immigrants. It's just a matter of how far back you go. Ultimately we're all from the Rift Valley. One species.
Honestly, not really surprised by anything Carr said. He is EXACTLY what you'd expect him to be. Thank God he doesn't have any power, what a mess that'd be
He has the power to vote, and globalists like him with identical views are why we're in this mess. Obviously it wasn't singularly him, but it isn't true to say he has no power, that's not really how democracy works. Good on him for not being woke but it's like he thinks that gives him a free pass to be a tosser on every other issue
Sorry boys, that was a free pass to Jimmy, so many things you could have tackled him on. And sorry Jimmy you took the antivax thing too far to be a joke, you got it wrong plain and simple.
Did he lose anyone else when he said Collective responsibility? maybe we should make clubs in order to say what you think and if anyone in your club says something wrong you all are punished sounds great.
@@MaxSlippyFist not sure if there is collective guilt with red flag laws. It seems to be a step further. Red flag laws allow people to report others they don't make it a crime not to.
The world is full of people who have far more than the average person could ever dream of yet they pound the table all the time for far left socialist type causes. I don't see any of these people paying more taxes than they absolutely legally have to. Man it must be nice to be able to be so removed from reality. How these people can't see what ridiculous hypocrites they are is beyond me
So the housing crisis we are having is no one can afford houses because they are too expensive for them to buy. Now why are they so expensive? Well the price of any non unique item is always supply and demand so our supply of houses doesn't meet the supply of people wanting a house so it's too many people and or not enough houses. Now what can we do to lower the number of people? We could lower immigration. What could we do to increase the number of houses? Well the problem is not for the whole of the UK certain places have very low house prices because there are no jobs there so we could encourage the job market in those areas somehow maybe setup some sort of scheme where a business is rewarded for having their workers work from home and the workers can then work from these low cost areas and reduce the demand on places like London which lets face it isn't a likely place we can squeeze many more houses out of. The problem with all of this though is the people who vote on these things are supposed to be our representatives but they have their own selfish interests and maybe they want the value of houses to go up because they own several.
I think migration is good for London as long as the people coming buy in to our values and beliefs. Multiculturalism has gone too far, and ethnically British people are becoming second class citizens.
@@NicolasMogensen All religion is the problem, Islam is just the newest one to be shitty about it. On the timeline they are in their crusades era, which will fail as myths always do.
@@nilfuxNo that is not true, religion has helped so many people turn their lives around, gave them hope. Christians, Sikhs, Jews, Hindus are not blowing people up in the name of their God. There is nothing in the Bible about that... the Quran on the other... do your own research. The biggest lie thrown around today is "Islam is a religion of peace". That religion is inherantly problematic because it claims to be the book with all the answers to human, never to be questionned, and never to be revised, and its word should be forced upon everyone. That is why there isn't a reformist islamic movement. It is strict to a point that debate is not tolerated.
@catscan2022Yes. How can we forget Trump's snake oil. "Just take it. What have you got to lose?". Pradelle - Deaths Induced by Compassionate use of Hydroxychloroquine - ScienceDirect. What do you have to lose? Your life apparently.
He's still, and will always be, one of the greatest comedians of all time. No one - literally no one, can handle hecklers like he can. He actually INVITES it. I love that. No one can faze him. Phase him? Whatever.
Here’s what you do: just say “no one can faze him” into the mic going into the address bar of Safari (or whatever you use). Here’s what I got: “To faze is to disturb, bother, or embarrass, but a phase is a stage or step.”
The jury's a bit out still for me on Obama. I don't think he was a very good president, for all his smoothness. That's not the job. However, although I'm on the side of centrism, with conservatism far more sensible and moral than current leftism with all its awful wokeism, and if I was American I'd vote Republican, and I don't hate Trump - rather, there's a lot about him that I like, nevertheless I'm a little sceptical about the idea of Obama being Biden's primary handler and being still in charge of the US, and representative of all the worst of wokeism etc, I suspect it might be Republican or somewhat right wing propaganda or conspiracy theorism. I'm not sure. I don't know enough about all the details, and I think it's incredibly important to know as much as possible before judging, and definitely not judging when I know that I don't know much. With all the crazy leftist radicalism in America and Trump derangement syndrome and all the rest of it, I felt ready to believe all that about Obama when I first heard it, but I've had to question myself on that. I'm not sure. Maybe he's a more 'alright guy' than many of us are inclined to think. Maybe you know better than me. By all means let me know why you think he isn't if you want. Now Hilary Clinton is a different case because I've seen and heard enough of her vindictiveness to have a better opinion about her real character, and I do not like her!
@@kennethcrowther2277 Biden is unquestionably controlled, he can barely even wipe his own arse. Obama no doubt was too. One of the probable reasons Trump is so hated is because he's independently wealthy enough to act (relatively) independently.
@@kennethcrowther2277 Name one thing Obama didn't screw up. I can usually find at least one thing to like about any president, one thing they did well but try as I might, I haven't found that about Obama. Cash for clunkers? Tons of people replaced their mostly paid for, average fuel economy cars with gas guzzling SUVs and a giant car loan. He unfroze what, $15 billion of Iran's assets? Israel said at the time, "this is a big mistake, we will be fighting that money in 10 years" and here we are, a decade later, Iran attacks Israel and has been running proxy operations all over the mid-east. He didn't oppose Putin's attack on Crimea, fanned the almost dead ember of racism and hate back into a white hot inferno, lied endlessly about the heavily debunked wage gap, pissed away $450+ million dollars on solar panels when what we REALLY needed was battery research. Benghazi, in a horrible insult, he sent an openly queer ambassador to a Muslim country and tried to ram his queer agenda down their throats. The Muslims, to their credit, refused to not answer that blatant insult and violently slaughtered the queer ambassador and wrecked the embassy. That was the only respectable response they could have made. Too bad he also made sure a bunch of marines got killed in the process. This list is just off there top of my head, there's lot more and all of it bad.
I do love when the British try to explain America’s gun culture. Literally, the Founding Fathers wrote the 2nd Amendment into the Constitution because of the way the British [Government] treated the colonists.
The idea that a gun club would provide individual regulation and accountability is interesting but, unfortunately, is completely impractical and unconstitutional. I do think more 'bowling clubs' etc would be good for civic and personal life, but that's not a realistic solution for our gun culture. It would simply lead to bureaucratic abuse and mis- management. See the Canadian comment above.
@@brianshea4177 Of course, his idea doesn't compare to the current system. A Corporate bully boy like the NRA, cynically utilising the US constitution to ensure they sell as many guns as possible, with the least amount of controls. I mean its working so well for the US, who have regular mass murders, on of the highest gun deaths around the world, high police shootings etc etc I have a better solution, ramp up you gun control regulations and laws, maybe that could help.
I've always understood that Carr was no idiot, but it would appear the man is as wise as he is funny. Good to know. ps. I pay Google good money to keep the ads out of my viewing experience. I can handle maybe one product endorsement as a compromise if the content is good, but three takes the piss, lads.
@@clayface563 why? He talks about crass things. You can’t get more crass than marrying an eight year old and consummating the marriage when she’s nine!
I agree, just look at America, apparently the freest Nation in the world, with the : - Highest incarceration rate in the world - Free to die with out health insurance - Free to work multiple jobs to make ends meet - Free yo join the armed defenses, and die in a foreign country - Free to not vote for two major parties, bought and sold by the same corporations Its the haves V the have nots, its a story as old as time. Left V Right, Control V Freedom, Black V white, Men V Women, etc etc is just a distraction manipulated by the owners to keep us divided and conquered. But surely you knew that.
Success is 25% talent,, 25% work and 50% luck. No amount of complaining or minimising can change that. There's many people with Jimmy Carr's talents who were suitable for the job he applied for, and he got those jobs. Does he deserve it? Definitely! Do they have a right to complain? No, cos that's the way the dice rolls. If they had become Jimmy Carr, they probably would've screwed it up by now. His longevity shows talent and skill even more than it shows luck.
38:10 Francis spends a good few minutes trying to save his statement by thinking and making up a speech for a save, it was painful could of just cracked on 😂
He's an awesome guy, and that was an awesome conversation, but I do think he's a little unaware of his privileged position. I don't know what the comedy industry is like, but if it's anything like the music business... There are thousands of people out there whose dream is just to be in a position to earn a living from making music. That really is the definition of success to a lot of people who are struggling for success. Awesome conversation, nonetheless.
He addressed those things quite explicitly and at some length. Gratitude was one of his keynotes. The music business is incredibly tough. The golden age of sales of media (records, CD's) being able to sustain careers has ended and many of the smaller venues have closed. With free (or near free) music and competition from video games etc those days have gone and will not come back. That's just a fact of life. Prior to transistor radios and records live music was the way musicians could make a living. It's now returned to that. Having a dream doesn't mean you are ensured that it will come true. All areas of endevour, from banking to the arts, are pyramids with a few at the very top doing well and a wide base of people in the middle surviving or a the bottom struggling. That's why there are jokes about actors waiting tables and directors of banks earn thousands of times what the employees do. Music is my passion, but it's not what pays the bills. I've known many musicians. Most have to spin multiple plates to pay the bills. Herbie Flowers who played the bass parts on Rock On and Walk On The Wild Side got paid £12 for each part. Because he suggested they have two bass parts he got £24. The people who played the string parts on the Beatles songs would have got an hourly rate. Not the millions that went to The Beatles or now goes to the Michael Jackson estate. As Jimmy said about comedy, if you're in it for the money you're probably doing the wrong thing. If you are able to make a living out of doing what you love you are already successful. If you can make serious money from it, as those at the top do, you have won the lottery. Few win the lottery and most that do get the £20 prize. That's not comedy, it's not music, it's life.
It's amazing hearing Jimmy Carr's voice say "you're great as you are, no need for sunbeds and curlers" through the new teeth in whoever's face he is wearing under that transplanted weave.
Jimmy has it wrong about the gun issue. As a Canadian we have been required to get licensing, club memberships, mandatory registration and onerous paperwork with a ton of rules about storage and transportation. What have we gotten for it? More rules and regulations all at our cost with an unhealthy dose of arbitration confiscation and loss of rights. At the same time the government has reduced penalties for criminals without gun licenses and a revolving door bail and jail policies. Owning guns has become a political wedge issue that is costly and has actually seen crime increase in recent years. Punishing a group that does it right while being permissive for criminals at every turn is the order of the day. It’s unreasonable, unfair, ineffective and prone to abuse by those who flouted the law to begin with. My American cousins should never move on 2A support. Whatever you give will never be enough and they will never stop until private gun ownership is abolished. Once that happens criminals will be even more emboldened than they already are.
Just look at Australia and the UK how many deaths by guns are in these countries not that many whilst yes here in the UK and Australia you can technically get a gun through a very strict procedure most people don't so it's a fair comparison and really it should be banned as quite frankly you don't need a gun unless your job dictates it which over here is less because we don't really have wild animals that are a threat to livestock so only really security positions we don't even need all our police to have a gun for starters that's how little they're needed. The US and Canada should really follow suit but they're in the backwards area of the world the US brought wokeness to the rest of the west and has a dementia patient in charge whilst Canada well has Trudeau need I say more. We've got bad politicians too don't get me wrong but not even Starmer is as bad as Trudeau and that's saying something.
@@dennisgoatimer1079 I don't know how it is where you're at, but in the US the police are not obligated to render assistance when a citizen's life is in danger. There are multiple instances of citizens doing due to police indifference, and still they are not liable for anyone's safety. For example, a father with a mandatory arrest clause, in the event he violated his visitation agreement, kidnapped his three children and informed the mother that he intended on killing them. When she reported this to the police, they repeatedly dismissed her claim and ignored the court order. About ten hours later the father brandished a gun at a police station. Once the police eliminated the threat they discovered the bodies of the children in the father's vehicle. When the mother died the police department for dereliction of duty the courts declared police are not responsible for the safety of the public. We only have one life, and there are no 'saves' or 'do-overs'.
Excuse me? When did he say he was a socialist? I must've missed it. If you think anything he said in this podcast advocated socialism, you're a partisan hack.
@@popethescope A champagne-socialist is a person that advocates for helping the downtrodden as long as it has absolutely no effect on his elitist life. I think it makes sense
@@MrJesperSvendsen How much money are you allowed to earn before you become a "champagne-socialist", and how much below this are you just enacting "the politics of envy" when you advocate to help the disadvantage at the expense of the wealthy?
Constantine's face during the entire interview is all I needed to know about how he felt. Jimmy says something absolutely boneheaded but controls the conversation into a next topic.
The best part of this interview was his frequent returns to gratitude and how it helps you achieve more and be happier and drives away envy and resentment.
We fought a war to not give a damn about what the british elite think. I just thought the idea's similarity to the militia and the brits move to disarm them sparking the revolution to be ironic af.
It’s his pan faced shit stirring that is his gig. I doubt he believes half the crap he talks about so long as it offends or gets a laugh. Why is everyone so serious.
Every time I listen to Jimmy talk I am more amazed at what an incredibly intelligent person he is. His advice regarding prohibition for young kids, and the reasoning behind it is so on the money. Wow!
"They've got the reasons, they've got the resource". No. Fork that. The USA's citizens are getting poorer with every generation (not our CEOs!) and our national debt is ENORMOUS. Expecting us to foot the entire bill in dollars and lives for this is entitled insanity. There is one single thing that Trump said that I actually agree with, and it's that we need to start enforcing minimum funding levels in NATO: If you aren't contributing to our Northern Hemisphere Peacenik Club, then you don't get to be a member.
Only 9 minutes in and I'm already flinching at everything jimmy is saying almost makes me want to go back to a time before i started going down so called 'conspiracy' rabbit holes and asking questions..... almost
@@TheTeeProd I didn't make an argument. I made a statement. Perhaps if you imagine it spoken with an R.P. british accent it will sound more intelligent and you can add more credulity to the bullshit coming out my mouth.
Correct. his ideas are laughable. The idea that we should be having more kids and that fossil fuels will need to remain as a staple of society are childishly simplistic and naive. What about when we run out of fossil fuels and there's no land to grow the crops on because we've been using fossil fuels to grow food instead of nurturing good top soil and using good crop rotation? Fossil fuel based fertilisers are the reason soil quality is at an all time low and pretending that's not a major issue in the world is absolutely out of touch with reality. Then there's migration. If you just open the borders to anyone who wants to come, you'll have massively inflated house prices and rental prices. Immigration is limited for a reason and it's not because of xenophobia. It's because of economics.
So many great lines in this one. Below are just my personal favorites that made me think. 2:38 "Equality of outcome is never gonna happen because equality of effort doesn't exist." 24:31 That's the difference between hard working, industrious, conscientious people and people that don't work hard. I'd say the latter are the most common because doing what Jimmy Carr describes here is incredibly hard to do. It is what got him to the top. Not everyone wants to be at the top and not everyone can do as much as he does. This goes right back to 2:38 and his "equality of effort doesn't exist" statement. But props to him. That's a great mindset to strive for. 25:30 "Because you don't rise to your goals, you fall to your systems." Not sure what he means by "systems" here. Maybe talents? Skills? Profession? Vocation? Not sure but it makes sense. Only how many people in the world find out about their true systems? Maybe they belong in a profession that they haven't heard of yet or need an environment to thrive that's not close to them. 27:00 "They are jealous of what you got. They are not jealous of how you got it" 31:33 That's just a hypothesis but maybe the reason why there are so many comedians now and there weren't 25 years ago is because economically, culturally, socially, globally we were in a much better place back than and there was less bad stuff to point out by making fun of it. Comedians are like a reverse canary in the coalmine, they turn up when things get really bad. Would be interesting to look into this if this happened before in human history. 34:47 Really interesting to hear Jimmy's perspective on this. For me this is an indication of isolationist media bubbles and how social media shapes our view of the world that is not necessarily or at all in line with the real-life experience. I still wonder though, I've seen some gnarly sh!t on the internet where people are trying to destroy people's lives or at least censor someone over a joke and in some instances being very successful (see Graham Linehan and Jerry Sadowitz). Tyler Fisher is another example of where the industry is at where people get rejected because of their skin color as number one reason and not because they are not talented. 1:00:35 "The trick of life is to know what you are, to accept what you are early on, and to lean into that." To bad they didn't talk about what the best strategy is to figure out what you are. 1:02:49 "Kids are not gonna listen to what I say. They're gonna watch and imitate [what I do]." 1:03:31 "Resentment is the opposite of gratitude" Friedrich Nietzsche on resentment: "If you think someone's ruined your life, you're right. It's you." 1:07:25 "It's not the pursuit of happiness, it's the happiness of the pursuit." a.k.a. the path is the goal. 1:09:28 "What would you tomorrow be grateful that you today did? That's a great way to live your life."
He has been in poverty. He used to live in his car for years, doing the comedy circle. He had very little. He has worked hard for where he is, and can see both sides. I disagree with his tax avoidance, though.
@@jagolago-bobWhat do you mean by disagree on his tax avoidance? Do you mean that tax avoidance aka something legal but not in the spirit of the law shouldn't be a thing or that he shouldn't have done what he did for moral reasons or something along those lines.
@@jagolago-bob Without taking a stance on his understanding of poverty, I think "live in his car" is not quite accurate, much as with Ed Sheeran. It wasn't "living in his car because he's poor" so much as "living out of his car because he was on the road all the time, and it was more convenient than going home every night and cheaper than a hotel".
Triggernometry. The incarnation of controlled opposition. Never a challenge on anything important. I love Jimmy Carr as a comedian but his life and political takes are mental!!
@@royboy4571 Pretty lame and pitiful. They won't even finish the interview because their emotions won't let them. "Fuck your feelings" indeed. The whiniest, bitchiest little cunts are on the right.
Wonderful interview... I have grown to truly appreciate and love Jimmy Carr these past few years and this has not enhanced it but confirmed why i do ..

Jimmy lost me with his vaccine bs. A shame too, the dude has some bangers.
Does Jimmy know Obama and Biden are still against gay marriage? That doesnt change in ur 50s (or 70s in bidens case) 😂. They just caved to the left in order to obtain/keep power. Their public view changed but i can almost guarantee their private view did not.
@@paldri You're literally one of the NPC's he references. Use your own mind on each issue.
Where the hell did you get this bozo?
Love Jimmy
I disagree with him on the immigration but was great to hear from him
They've had Burr, now they're speaking to Jimmy Carr; I think Trig need to target interviews with Gervais, CK and Chris Rock next.
CK was clueless on Rogan. I imagine he’d look worse here lol
@@VenomShotYou clueless about what?
@@CaptainHowdy-mw9vc I love CK and agree and relate to a lot of what he says, but he was completely out of touch when it came to issues of Covid and politics in general. He seemed to suffer from a minor case of TDS.
@@VenomShotYou aaah ok, I see what you mean. I have seen clips of some of CK's appearances on US podcasts and he does seem to tread more carefully nowadays. Like when he went on with Tim Dillon and he didn't want to be drawn on the debate regarding that transvestite teacher with the massive fake tits. But tbh, I am sick of discussion on vaccines and lockdowns now tbh. I'd be more interested in what he thinks of the UK comedy scene vs USA and what his awareness is about the differences, especially regarding censorship.
Yeah, Louis CK doesn't believe every bit of unsubstantiated bollocks about Covid and vaccines that Rogan does. He's also not a Trump cultist. Very disappointing. /s
"people are jealous of what you've got, they're not jealous of how you got it" I'm stealing that quote.
I was a sponsored skateboarder for many years when I was younger and kids would always tell me I'm so lucky because I had brand new everything all the time but then they'd see me walking with a cane after ankle surgeries, and I asked them how lucky they think I am now. I didn't get that stuff for no reason. I destroyed my body for it the kids don't see that part of it. They only see you with the photo in the magazine, but they don't realize what you went through to get it, and that you could barely walk for the next few days, because of the sacrifices you made.
Envious, not jealous. If you're going to steal it, say it correctly.
"what you've got" is the outcome of the journey. Going through the journey isn't easy so I understand why some would just look at the outcome. But that's shallow thinking. These people being envious of what others have.
And we all can fall into it, some stay in it, others snap out of it, quick.
Also, some just got the "thing" easier than others so people not just envy the thing but hate or despise the people who have the thing.
Selling your soul and effing over people. Yeah I don’t want that. You basically have to do these things
Yeah like winning the lottery
As a gypsy myself , Jim is the only one that ever addressed us and brought light to the fact we were right alongside jews in concentration camps.I never heard any celebrity ever talk about us, I felt included and while It might sound offensive majority of us understood that jimmy is amazing guy for actually addressing us in this world. Thank you jim much respect for that.
Based take. Thanks
Jimmy is a very funny guy. You know what’s not funny?
Ruining a lovely table by not using coasters!
You're funny.
Think of it not as a table but as a massive coaster on legs.
@@CreativeCache101now THAT is positive thinking
I have a similar table with no coasters
That table would cost upwards of £50k to make and if anyone in that room owned it you can be damn sure they would be using coasters.
Disrespectful peasants.
Jimmy is afraid to joke about Islam in the same way he jokes about Christianity. All comedians are and that’s just a fact. Don’t get me wrong, I get why. But to deny it is just silly.
Yes they don't want to be murdered just yet
"We don't mind bom-bing the hell out of Muslims and justifying genocide against them, but we'll pretend to be afraid to joke against them, because that pretension helps us stay racists" - ladies and gentlemen, western right wing for you.
@@Ryan-me9ge They have to go home alone.
It’s good that he joked about it. “I’m not a fucking idiot.” He’s taking a jab at the Muslims and giving the honest reason why
Lets not focus on religion. Its totally unfair to point to one specific thing. Lets be totally clear, its NOT just Islam - its all ideologies that have radicalist members, and protection from woke society.
I love the idea of changing the narrative. My son was in a rut in high school last year (year 10) and on his own (with many conversations) he made the decision that he wanted to have a fresh start at a new school. Now, this year at a new school he is really enjoying his time there with his teachers, and classmates. He is so much happier with himself. Amazing to see, and we are so very proud of him.
"What's great about London? Migration."
Lol. Lmao.
Yeah… can’t say I agree with his idea of what America should do or the gun club idea. They’re nice ideas. I don’t think good ones 🤷♂️.
Yet another example of someone from the media class advocating for the ethnic replacement of white people.
rofl, even
Yes, that must be why crime, terrorism and housing costs have come down there.
It’s great for a multimillionaire comedian
it's quite bizarre that one man can be so right about some things, yet unbelievably uninformed and stupid on others. I still like Jimmy, though.
He just can't seem to understand that people who don't make a living by making edgy jokes need some level of anonymity in order to voice their opinion.
He is a rich nob that got famous stealing less famous peoples jokes. The idea that he wouldn't be criminally naive is pretty naive lol
He isn’t uninformed; rather, he's conscious of which opinions are culturally acceptable and which are not. He's a Centrist Dad playing the Court Edgelord.
@@skymanifest8339100%
An intelligent guy navigating the political discourse ti protect himself.
It’s respectable, at least..
it's not bizarre at all. It actually makes perfect sense. And if you think you are right all the time, rather than right on something and uninformed on others - you are sorely mistaken. Everybody is wrong on at least some things at any given time.
Thanks
Watching kk and francis try to keep a straight face whilst a multi millionaire living in a gated community gushes about wanting more migration was hilarious 😂.
Perhaps he needs a cheaper cleaner
KK really struggles to hide what hes really thinking, its true.
@@carbonnieferrous2689 why would he bother hide it
He should have been challenged.
Not many immigrants undercutting *his* wages.
It's fine to talk about encouraging immigrants with STEM training.....unless your job depends on that and your relative wages have been declining for decades because of cheaper immigrant competition (especially temporary visa competition)
One day the people of the Islamic Republic of England will laugh and say “they were more worried about being called racist than losing their country”
Muslims are 6% of the population, in Russia they're 10% and last I checked Russia is doing alright.
Wales and Scotland have better scenery anyway.
Exceptionally good comment. I'd put that on twitter asap before some rotter nicks it.

The look on Frances' face when Jimmy said that the UK comedy scene was a very supportive and friendly community! 🤣
Ask Alistair Williams, Andrew Lawrence and many others that got taken through the mill for having an opinion and a stance backed up by their own principles.
Have 3 kids and go back to work so you get 75% off tax. How does that work then? It's babies or work.
was the same face he made when he said london is that amazing because of immigration
Never seen someone be so right and so wrong at exactly the same time.
Maybe there's not just one way to think about things and its perfectly fine if someone agrees with you on some stuf but doesn't toe your 'party line'
@@Liberaven I think you missed my point. I like him, but if he wasn't rich he wouldn't be saying half of what he has. Also, party line? So your one of those sad people that think everything is politics. Both sides are shit
When you're as wealthy as him you live in the proverbial bubble.
Money protects you from the realities of rampant street crime.
You like immigration because its a _great idea_ a melting pot of all the colourful cultures of the world. Then you have the actuality of Pakistanis rioting against Indians over a cricket match in another country etc etc.
isn’t that the point of triggermotrey, spiked etc
I was thinking exactly the same thing.
10:33 "If you've got slaves you have 6 weeks to free them or we're coming in to clean house" Fantastic idea. People love US World Police. What could possibly go wrong?
People didn't hate the US helping people, they hated us going over there under false pretenses, picking and choosing "democratically" elected leaders, and setting up base to ensure the flow of oil.
If we actually did the things we said we were going to do, no one would have a problem. It's all the other things we do when we get there that people hate.
given a lot of those slaves are in Arab states, it's not like the US has no experience in those areas
80% of Iranians are de facto enslaved, more culturally than economically.
I'm subscribed to a bunch of ex-Muslims. Susanna and Armin are former Antifa and former Muslim.
usa have to realize the world doesnt turn around them and they arent a world force just because of weapons... the totaly distabalized southeastern europe in the last 20 years. they always think they can "save" the world..
Being loved is overrated. The slave pit countries already hate America. Might as well give them a reason to.
Four minutes in and an Irish heritage bloke (who has the same culture as the English) is telling us we need more migrants. We might need more Irish immigrants or people with our culture but blanket immigrants is a no no edit: 6 1/2 minutes Obama was a good guy. It sure I’m gonna like this
I'd ironically love to see him go to Ireland and tell the locals how great immigration is.
Mount Street Upper Dublin 2 is the new Skid Row pal @catscan2022
Have to call you out on that one. English culture and Irish culture are not the same. Its the reason for the common phrase in Ireland "Christ, but the English are weird".
@catscan2022 It wasn't an obsession. Dave Allen's jokes about the Catholic Church in the 70s was the equivalent of a 'mainstream' comedian today taking the piss out of the left, wokism and Islam. It was actually quite radical.
@catscan2022 well I just thought Dave Allen was hilarious so it didn't get tiresome or boring to me tbh. Just like I always found Peter Kay really funny, because much of the 'brand' or 'origin of matetial' in his comedy strikes a chord with my childhood.
Jimmy did the best take down of a heckler I've ever heard. It was 20+ years ago at the Hen & Chickens and Jimmy was killing it, but there was a really drunk guy just being a dick and shouting out crap. Jimmy said "I took up comedy as I thought it would make me a bit of a fanny magnet, but I never dreamed it'd attract a c%&t like you" 🤣🤣
Hahahahah that's bloody hilarious!
Anyone else think of David Brent when he continually reels of quotes from great philosophers?
I kind of wish I hadn't watched this. I luv Jimmy - funny and sharp - I have tickets to an upcoming show - but some of his political takes stink. Basically, the comfortable middle class liberal perspective of someone that has clearly never, for example, had to deal with the downsides (which are many) of unbridled mass immigration, especially from parts of the world where social mores do not comport with our own (i.e. Genuine integration is not possible - a huge, festering problem). That he cannot see what a hell-hole America is becoming under the corrupt post-modernists in power (one of whom likes showering with his d@ughter) is actually worrying. Bright but misguided, unfortunately - I bailed after half an hour because I've just bought his book and I want to be able to enjoy it, and not resent the author! Put the Guardian down, Jim.
Agree 💯 trigonometry did nothing to challenge him
If you can't enjoy someone's art, comedy, or company solely because of their political views, you are no better than a raving leftist who can't do the same. Someone like Michael Malice is a great role model in that regard. He loves politics, but never lets it get in the way of his friendships or enjoyment of art, nor should he. Nor should anyone.
If you can't enjoy someone's art or comedy because of their political views, you're no better than the side you oppose.
I agree! I’ve got some of Hitlers artwork above my fireplace.
I think you may have missed the point of what an interview is, it’s not about you it’s about JC s point of view per his experiences not yours
Twelve minutes in and I'm still waiting for anyone to challenge Jimmy on any of his takes. This isn't an interview, it's a monologue. Reparations for slavery? Come on fellas. Immigration is good for London? The US is objectively the best it's ever been? Tell that to the inhabitants of LA (the normal residents that is). Obama a great President? Having said that, his idea of having the have a purpose of ending slavery isn't a bad one, other than the potential to start more wars.
if you're in the top 1% it is the best time ever.... those are the people he's meeting.
He's just your typical bubble-dwelling Centrist Dad, acting like some radical edgelord.
Agreed
Give it time, I think he'll change his mind about immigration being all good
He looks like he could store nuts in his cheeks.
I've never nodded my head agreeing and also shaken my head side to side to vehemently disagreeing with certain points as much as much in any episode as ive done in this one. 😂
Reparations are a great idea? Hoo boy. Ok, I'll keep watching, but that take is way off base.
I took that to mean some kind of recompense would be good - hence his thoughts about paying it forward to tackle current slavery. But I might be wrong!
@@acacia_w Either way, it's just a terrible, unworkable idea.
@@acacia_w paying it forward? They already have. Slavery used to be a commonly accepted thing all over the world, and they ended that. They are literally the heroes in the slavery story. Now it's an underground thing.
I think he meant that reparations are a good idea in principle, but too complex to implement in practice. How is that “way off base”?
London has only very recently gone from 90%+ white British to about 30%. Some people might say that makes it a better place, but I'm not sure a native londoner would agree.
Its about 45% white
@@DarkAngel2512 That's deeply depressing.
@@Gen-c7i I dunno. I dont find it depressing. My town is 25 miles south of London and about 96% white.
As a family of native Londoners, some still living there - myself moving for work, it is depressing, especially in such a short turnaround - our roots are permanently altered.
So where would you get your workers? Who will serve you at the restaurant you love? Who is working at the factories? Bottom line is every country NEEDS immigrants. No one in America or England is having enough children. Why? Cuz no one can afford to have a family anymore. So birth rates are dropping everywhere. What to do? End poverty. Or realize the end game of capitalism kills the planet. Period. Constant growth is flatly unsustainable. What’s the answer? I dunno
Im disabled and I've had people complain to HR that me making jokes about me makes them feel uncomfortable! 😂
Id be embarrassed telling anyone I felt "uncomfortable" about someone who hasnt disappeared into the shadows and turned to stimulants to silence their mental health issues.
Oh thank god, I need something to wash away the mental fog of struggling through the Bassam interview.
I got 10min in and had to stop
The difference is like night and day. That Bassem guy obfuscated every single point, and constantly tried to take the conversation into rhetorical cul de sacs. You can agree or disagree with Jimmy but he speaks with absolute clarity.

to be fair, it got better an hour in. but yeah, the beginning was unbearable.
@@banangnang Pretty much. I disagree with some of his points but that's fine, I don't need to agree with everything someone thinks provided it's a good faith discussion, which this one was.
Islam is 100% a sacred cow in Jimmys show.
He thinks the audience aren't as clever as him but we see the game.
He has done had some good pops at islam in the past. One of the very few comedians who have, you can look em up on here.
In his last special he said he wouldn’t mock islam because he’s “not a fucking idiot”. Then he asked if the christians wanted the same privilege they ought to consider blowing something up 🤣 “what are the christians gonna do? Forgive me?”
Makes sense, he doesn’t want to get fatwad. I get it
It's pretty difficult to criticise Islam as a famous person. You potentially put yourself, your family and friends at risk. so it may be a sacred cow for him, but I suspect for a good reason.
Well, he said he's not a fucking idiot.
"What makes London great? Migration"
I'm still waiting for the punchline
Rushi Sunak is the punchline
Do you differentiate between western migration vs low income dysfunctional refugees who often hate British people and hate everything about British culture and aim for revenge?
That is a question, not an argument.
Would you rather people stayed in their country of birth and never left?
Yes, a fucking stupid comment by Jimmy
I work in London every week, the north, south, east & west. It is crap wherever you, either really posh & entitled people or really poor, aggressive with high crime rates. One thing is constant tho, the traffic is also terrible as well as overly expensive. Only very, very rich people will say London is the best city in the world. Or the naive.
I sometimes go to London because I have friends there, and it's always nice to see 'em. But after that I always get out of there as fast as I darn well can.
@@ジョニークレートンバックル yup. To visit once in a while is fine. To live or work there is absolute dread.

I wanted an interview, not a monologue.
So they were like Tucker and Putin?
Jimmy is in that Bill Maher mentality of voicing opinions that are unsupported by facts, because he _wants_ them to be true.

"Having a ready flow of words but lacking thought or understanding; superficial; "
Define "facts" as you see it?
LOL - 'America has never been better!'
40-50 years ago american middle class families could own their home and a car on daddy's salary while mommy stayed home. Nowadays they just about break even when both parents are making $ 60-70k a year and minimum wages haven't risen until recently (in some sectors) for approximately the same time period. American educational system is pi$$ poor (compared to other western societies) unless you have the money to pay for premium. National healthcare is just as bad as educations, spearheaded by companies with primary focus on their annual net result.
I find it remarkable that everso many americans, who have lived abroad in comparable societies, return to America - only to find their beloved US to be in shambles in comparison.
Now, it can't all be that bad - and definitely isn't, but the vibe I get from Mr. Carr is off by more than a mile as far as I know, and to hear that he's been studying social sciences makes me wonder, what specific classes he has ben attending.
... BUT he makes some good points on other topics ;-D
BTW part 2: How can you tell if a comedian has made it or not? By the amount of advertising on his YT-channel ;-P
BTW part 3: he should get together with Bjørn Lomborg and scetch up the future 😀
I would take what a multimillionaire comedian says with a giant pinch of salt. It’s like the old saying about the Queen thinking everywhere smelled of paint, because everywhere she visited was refurbished before a royal visit.
BTW part 4: great show, chaps 🙂
"There'll never be reparations"
Welfare is their reparations. Look at the net figures for group contributing to/taking out of the system.
Great point
Reparations is hundreds of millions of African lives saved by Western technology, medicine, science and charity.
The population has tripled since the 1950s.
I've always thought that. Aren't they currently getting reparations.
Can you show me the figures?
@dandare1001 Google is your friend my friend. As the Left loves to say "educate yourself".
Don't forget to correct figures to "per capita".
Incredible interview… if anyone had said I would have watched Jimmy Carr for nearly an hour and a half I would have raised a sceptical eyebrow. Remarkable and insightful
American here, who is this guy? Interesting interview so far. He's 50% spot on, 50% uniformed.
Agreed.
Everyone I know, working class people, just watched their rent raise hundreds within two years.
A single bedroom apartment where Im located In Wisconsin is damn near Chicago prices.
Very famous comedian in Britain. Routine is 100% offensive one-liners.
He's hilarious, even if I don't like some of his politics. He did a roast battle over a decade ago that was brutally funny.
You mean 50%, you agree with, 50% you don't agree with.
10%spot on.
One of Jimmy's migrant cleaners is demanding minimum wage , he needs more immigration .
More migration = cheaper goods ya twat
Carr is totally detached from reality. He lives in a bubble. On his show - when asked if he had ever been in a Lidl? He said he doesn’t go to super markets. He doesn’t seem to talk to his colleagues on his show. He didn’t know that Dent and Riley regularly holiday abroad together. His views throughout this are warped, he seems very misinformed or worse, is informed and comes out with this shit. He comes across as a total arsehole.
Cracking comedian. Lost me on London being great due to immigration and slavery reparations being a good thing, but always good to hear from him.
Slavery reparations are a GREAT idea. How long did the Italians have us on that? Three and a half centuries, so, longer than North America.
I think his reparations comment is being misinterpreted a lot in this comments section. I don't think he was saying that asking every white person to pay reparations is a good idea, he was saying that if it was at all possible to correctly identify who owes money to who, then it would be a worthy act of solidarity. But he acknowledges that it is impossible and therefore it wouldn't/shouldn't happen.
@@Belzediel I disagree. Unless you're talking the people who enslaved reimbursing the people they enslaved, then anything else is people who didn't enslave anyone paying people who weren't enslaved.
@@CaptainHowdy-mw9vc I'd argue that once the link between slave and the person who did the enslaving is broken, nobody owes anyone frankly. Reparations always gets into this sticky 'sins of the father and beyond" type rhetoric.

" whats he bloody mean, immigrants are the problem "
Whilst an immigrant KK, and two first generation immigrants show the benefits of immigration.
@@royboy4571 Of course, some immigrants come to this country and have a positive impact. That's not what the above comment is picking on. Have you seen the immigration increase since 2019, let alone in the last 20 years. Of course, immigration, to some extent, is good, but to proclaim the best thing about London is immigration is ridiculous and shows Carrs' lack of knowledge of history and what has changed as we have increased immigration in this country. The two successful migrants on screen are successful; from your point of view, we should see a proportional increase in very successful/positive impact migration, which would add to this country, but we don't. Instead, it's the opposite, putting pressure on the housing, social welfare and NHS systems, as the sheer influx of people is too much to handle.

Jimmy came to New Zealand last year. At the show I attended he called out those of us who weren't jabbed and belittled us and made us the butt of his jokes. He wasn't "joking" though. He meant every word he said as part of an agenda.

99.9% of people are not against migration/immigration. What most people object to is uncontrolled migration. Open borders not only allows people with honorable intentions to more easily enter a country, but allows easy access for those with much less honorable intentions to operate. A huge influx of people will also likely shock the economy and overburden programs designed to help people in need. The people most affected by these are the
lowest on the economic scale and whose voices tend to be least heard.
Did well up to the point when Jimmy referred to Nish Kumar as a comedian.
Same. I did the whole John Cena _"Are you sure about that???"_ face when i heard that.
Maybe it's just the rest of us getting older but there's certainly a number of 'comedians' from the generation after Jimmy who barely deserve the moniker. James Acaster, Aisling Bea, Richard Ayoade, Big Narsty and such are perfectly fine but for every one of them, there's a Tom Allen, Sarah Pascoe or Nish Kumar where you're baffled as to how they manage to make a living.
Nish Kumar is well funny I love it when he says "look I'm brown" haha great material
His condemnation of the audience who did not take the potion, the respect ended. Ironically he likes science.
It was a joke, being anti-vax is not the same as anti-Covid vaccine.
He mentioned polio, he didn't mock the guy for being against the covid vaccine.
@@Dr3Mc3Ninja oh no, he tried to use the polio thing as a parallel, which it absolutely is not.
@@jasondashney Why not?
@@tomcapping2136 they aren’t parallels for a few reasons. Polio was absolutely devastating to everybody who got it. You’ve never heard of a mild case of polio. And the polio vaccine was an actual vaccine, and there was already a track record. The mRNA vaccines are technically gene therapy. They’re not actually vaccines, and they were a novel technology that had never been used before so to mandate a literally experimental medical intervention for young people who were more likely to die from peanuts than Covid makes them very different cases indeed. there were also plenty of red flags like the absolute lie, that they were “safe and effective“ because those terms have specific definitions. They could not possibly have known it was safe because they were brand new, and not enough time had passed to be able to understand possible long-term ramifications. That’s how linear time works. A traditional vaccine can still pose problems, but the background of them is extremely well understood and they had been used many times before polio, so this wasn’t venturing forth into uncharted territory. I can go on and on, but my final point would be the lack of uptake for booster shots. Most people realized that unless you were compromised by being fat sick or old, the vaccines weren’t really helpful so they didn’t bother. Polio? Indisputable track record. Very different things.
Y'know Jimmy's comment on America ending slavery is funny to me, because the same people who are about reparations for descendants of slaves are broadly the same people who supported allowing (more) illegal immigration which is one of the leading avenues for modern slavery.
Yes that's why so many people get so worked up about illegal immigration- the slavery aspect
Gun clubs with collective punishment if one member goes nuts? How about we apply that idea to Mosques Jimmy?
Bigot alert.
his analogue was incredibly naive. If you took the existing gun club the NRA and saw the states for illegal use of those members it would be tiny sub 1% of all gun crime in comparison to illegally held firearms.
I take your point, Guns ARE a religion aren't they?
@@nilfux that’s not my point.
@@Steve-rk6lg Yet, the NRA enables access to those illegal firearms by proxy via lobbying.

I'm Swedish. Literally all my relatives on my father's side as far back as I have seen (1600s ish) is from 20-30 km away from where he and I were raised. My mum's side farther afield, but still afaik 100 % Swedish. We used to be one of the most ethnically homogenous places on earth, even more so than Britain because we didn't even have vikings and Normans invading and intermingling. Modern Swedes have been formed over 12 000 years on this land, since the end of the last Ice Age, and we threw cohesiveness, belonging and community in the trash in 30 years to be replaced by cultures that are quite literally as far from the Swedish one as it's possible to be, looking at the World Values Survey. And Britain is doing the same albeit slightly less radically, because you are not quite as cursed with 80 years of social engineering experimentation by nigh-continuous socialist rule
Vikings, Danes, Romans, Anglo-Saxons, Normans, Hugonots, Irish etc. all immigrants. It's just a matter of how far back you go. Ultimately we're all from the Rift Valley. One species.

Sorry for not wasting my time for your benefit, stranger.
So the housing crisis we are having is no one can afford houses because they are too expensive for them to buy. Now why are they so expensive? Well the price of any non unique item is always supply and demand so our supply of houses doesn't meet the supply of people wanting a house so it's too many people and or not enough houses. Now what can we do to lower the number of people? We could lower immigration. What could we do to increase the number of houses? Well the problem is not for the whole of the UK certain places have very low house prices because there are no jobs there so we could encourage the job market in those areas somehow maybe setup some sort of scheme where a business is rewarded for having their workers work from home and the workers can then work from these low cost areas and reduce the demand on places like London which lets face it isn't a likely place we can squeeze many more houses out of. The problem with all of this though is the people who vote on these things are supposed to be our representatives but they have their own selfish interests and maybe they want the value of houses to go up because they own several.
I think migration is good for London as long as the people coming buy in to our values and beliefs. Multiculturalism has gone too far, and ethnically British people are becoming second class citizens.
There should be nothing wrong with saying it like it is: Multiculturalism isn't the big problem, Islam is.

There is nothing in the Bible about that... the Quran on the other... do your own research. The biggest lie thrown around today is "Islam is a religion of peace". That religion is inherantly problematic because it claims to be the book with all the answers to human, never to be questionned, and never to be revised, and its word should be forced upon everyone. That is why there isn't a reformist islamic movement. It is strict to a point that debate is not tolerated.

Did he just say obama was a good guy? Thats hilarious.😂
Then followed it up with how terrible communism is. How can Obama be a good guy when he is a communist?
The jury's a bit out still for me on Obama. I don't think he was a very good president, for all his smoothness. That's not the job. However, although I'm on the side of centrism, with conservatism far more sensible and moral than current leftism with all its awful wokeism, and if I was American I'd vote Republican, and I don't hate Trump - rather, there's a lot about him that I like, nevertheless I'm a little sceptical about the idea of Obama being Biden's primary handler and being still in charge of the US, and representative of all the worst of wokeism etc, I suspect it might be Republican or somewhat right wing propaganda or conspiracy theorism. I'm not sure. I don't know enough about all the details, and I think it's incredibly important to know as much as possible before judging, and definitely not judging when I know that I don't know much. With all the crazy leftist radicalism in America and Trump derangement syndrome and all the rest of it, I felt ready to believe all that about Obama when I first heard it, but I've had to question myself on that. I'm not sure. Maybe he's a more 'alright guy' than many of us are inclined to think. Maybe you know better than me. By all means let me know why you think he isn't if you want. Now Hilary Clinton is a different case because I've seen and heard enough of her vindictiveness to have a better opinion about her real character, and I do not like her!
@@kennethcrowther2277 Biden is unquestionably controlled, he can barely even wipe his own arse. Obama no doubt was too. One of the probable reasons Trump is so hated is because he's independently wealthy enough to act (relatively) independently.

Israel said at the time, "this is a big mistake, we will be fighting that money in 10 years" and here we are, a decade later, Iran attacks Israel and has been running proxy operations all over the mid-east. He didn't oppose Putin's attack on Crimea, fanned the almost dead ember of racism and hate back into a white hot inferno, lied endlessly about the heavily debunked wage gap, pissed away $450+ million dollars on solar panels when what we REALLY needed was battery research. Benghazi, in a horrible insult, he sent an openly queer ambassador to a Muslim country and tried to ram his queer agenda down their throats. The Muslims, to their credit, refused to not answer that blatant insult and violently slaughtered the queer ambassador and wrecked the embassy. That was the only respectable response they could have made. Too bad he also made sure a bunch of marines got killed in the process.

I do love when the British try to explain America’s gun culture. Literally, the Founding Fathers wrote the 2nd Amendment into the Constitution because of the way the British [Government] treated the colonists.
The idea that a gun club would provide individual regulation and accountability is interesting but, unfortunately, is completely impractical and unconstitutional. I do think more 'bowling clubs' etc would be good for civic and personal life, but that's not a realistic solution for our gun culture. It would simply lead to bureaucratic abuse and mis- management. See the Canadian comment above.
@@brianshea4177 Of course, his idea doesn't compare to the current system.

I have a better solution, ramp up you gun control regulations and laws, maybe that could help.
that's exactly why it has zero relevance today. No other country in the entire world uses a constitution from the 1700's!

- Free to die with out health insurance
- Free to work multiple jobs to make ends meet
- Free yo join the armed defenses, and die in a foreign country
- Free to not vote for two major parties, bought and sold by the same corporations

Victor Orban is a colossal dick, I've yet to meet a travelled Hungrain that has a nice word to say about him.
He's an awesome guy, and that was an awesome conversation, but I do think he's a little unaware of his privileged position. I don't know what the comedy industry is like, but if it's anything like the music business... There are thousands of people out there whose dream is just to be in a position to earn a living from making music. That really is the definition of success to a lot of people who are struggling for success. Awesome conversation, nonetheless.
He addressed those things quite explicitly and at some length. Gratitude was one of his keynotes. The music business is incredibly tough. The golden age of sales of media (records, CD's) being able to sustain careers has ended and many of the smaller venues have closed. With free (or near free) music and competition from video games etc those days have gone and will not come back. That's just a fact of life. Prior to transistor radios and records live music was the way musicians could make a living. It's now returned to that. Having a dream doesn't mean you are ensured that it will come true. All areas of endevour, from banking to the arts, are pyramids with a few at the very top doing well and a wide base of people in the middle surviving or a the bottom struggling. That's why there are jokes about actors waiting tables and directors of banks earn thousands of times what the employees do. Music is my passion, but it's not what pays the bills. I've known many musicians. Most have to spin multiple plates to pay the bills. Herbie Flowers who played the bass parts on Rock On and Walk On The Wild Side got paid £12 for each part. Because he suggested they have two bass parts he got £24. The people who played the string parts on the Beatles songs would have got an hourly rate. Not the millions that went to The Beatles or now goes to the Michael Jackson estate. As Jimmy said about comedy, if you're in it for the money you're probably doing the wrong thing. If you are able to make a living out of doing what you love you are already successful. If you can make serious money from it, as those at the top do, you have won the lottery. Few win the lottery and most that do get the £20 prize. That's not comedy, it's not music, it's life.
It's amazing hearing Jimmy Carr's voice say "you're great as you are, no need for sunbeds and curlers" through the new teeth in whoever's face he is wearing under that transplanted weave.
He reshaped the potato. I'd like a bit more chin, but wouldn't do it if I could: at 78, no point, you work with what you have. 🐸🦖🫏
Jimmy has it wrong about the gun issue. As a Canadian we have been required to get licensing, club memberships, mandatory registration and onerous paperwork with a ton of rules about storage and transportation. What have we gotten for it? More rules and regulations all at our cost with an unhealthy dose of arbitration confiscation and loss of rights. At the same time the government has reduced penalties for criminals without gun licenses and a revolving door bail and jail policies. Owning guns has become a political wedge issue that is costly and has actually seen crime increase in recent years. Punishing a group that does it right while being permissive for criminals at every turn is the order of the day. It’s unreasonable, unfair, ineffective and prone to abuse by those who flouted the law to begin with. My American cousins should never move on 2A support. Whatever you give will never be enough and they will never stop until private gun ownership is abolished. Once that happens criminals will be even more emboldened than they already are.
Just look at Australia and the UK how many deaths by guns are in these countries not that many whilst yes here in the UK and Australia you can technically get a gun through a very strict procedure most people don't so it's a fair comparison and really it should be banned as quite frankly you don't need a gun unless your job dictates it which over here is less because we don't really have wild animals that are a threat to livestock so only really security positions we don't even need all our police to have a gun for starters that's how little they're needed. The US and Canada should really follow suit but they're in the backwards area of the world the US brought wokeness to the rest of the west and has a dementia patient in charge whilst Canada well has Trudeau need I say more. We've got bad politicians too don't get me wrong but not even Starmer is as bad as Trudeau and that's saying something.

What's the ratio of guns owned to guns used in crimes?
@@dennisgoatimer1079 I don't know how it is where you're at, but in the US the police are not obligated to render assistance when a citizen's life is in danger. There are multiple instances of citizens doing due to police indifference, and still they are not liable for anyone's safety.
For example, a father with a mandatory arrest clause, in the event he violated his visitation agreement, kidnapped his three children and informed the mother that he intended on killing them. When she reported this to the police, they repeatedly dismissed her claim and ignored the court order. About ten hours later the father brandished a gun at a police station. Once the police eliminated the threat they discovered the bodies of the children in the father's vehicle. When the mother died the police department for dereliction of duty the courts declared police are not responsible for the safety of the public.
We only have one life, and there are no 'saves' or 'do-overs'.
This Champagnesocialist has tax consultants...
Excuse me? When did he say he was a socialist? I must've missed it. If you think anything he said in this podcast advocated socialism, you're a partisan hack.
Holy shit this comment section is filled with butthurt bitter failures.
@@popethescope A champagne-socialist is a person that advocates for helping the downtrodden as long as it has absolutely no effect on his elitist life. I think it makes sense
@@MrJesperSvendsenwell no it also means they advocate for socialism. the clue’s in the name.
@@MrJesperSvendsen How much money are you allowed to earn before you become a "champagne-socialist", and how much below this are you just enacting "the politics of envy" when you advocate to help the disadvantage at the expense of the wealthy?
So many youtube ads killed this for me.... i had probably 14 ad breaks, not including the trig ones.... jesus.

7 minutes in and we've already had London is great due to immigrants and Saint Obama 🥴
It is and it isnt depending on which immigrants we're talking about
He's woke, don't let him fool you.
would you rater people stayed in their country of birth and never left?
Have we? Or is that just your take?
He is so right about making sure to keep writing jokes. I watch comedians repeating the same jokes 3-4 years later and it is bizaare.
Eight minutes in: "Gratitude is the mother of all virtues." Beautiful.
A sneaky rat is more destructive than a raging bull. And Jimmy is a sneaky rat.
I always thought so, long before the jibby jabby snarkiness I thought something doesn't add up about him...
Constantine's face during the entire interview is all I needed to know about how he felt. Jimmy says something absolutely boneheaded but controls the conversation into a next topic.
exactly
The best part of this interview was his frequent returns to gratitude and how it helps you achieve more and be happier and drives away envy and resentment.
Punching comes from the workplace describing bosses who make fun of their employees in front of everyone. That is generally considered bad manners.
Hearing a british guy making the case for militias in america ie "gun clubs where people hold each other accountable" is an irony i didn't expect
The dumbest idea ever
Carr is such a nob it shocks me
We fought a war to not give a damn about what the british elite think. I just thought the idea's similarity to the militia and the brits move to disarm them sparking the revolution to be ironic af.
It’s his pan faced shit stirring that is his gig. I doubt he believes half the crap he talks about so long as it offends or gets a laugh. Why is everyone so serious.
@@henrymahoney7072 Pay a fine if a member of your gun club goes on a murdering spree... LOL. Tell me he was joking when he said that... right ?
Every time I listen to Jimmy talk I am more amazed at what an incredibly intelligent person he is. His advice regarding prohibition for young kids, and the reasoning behind it is so on the money. Wow!
Everything is fabulous when you are a millionaire. I bet in his travels around the US he never got dirt on his shoes once.
Jelly
Someone swallowed a self help book.
"They've got the reasons, they've got the resource". No. Fork that. The USA's citizens are getting poorer with every generation (not our CEOs!) and our national debt is ENORMOUS. Expecting us to foot the entire bill in dollars and lives for this is entitled insanity. There is one single thing that Trump said that I actually agree with, and it's that we need to start enforcing minimum funding levels in NATO: If you aren't contributing to our Northern Hemisphere Peacenik Club, then you don't get to be a member.
Only 9 minutes in and I'm already flinching at everything jimmy is saying almost makes me want to go back to a time before i started going down so called 'conspiracy' rabbit holes and asking questions..... almost
I'm the same, though I don't regret the rabbit holes.
Ah, a covid cry-baby.
@@robertryan6782 not sure what you are trying to get at or what covid has to do with it.
Classic example of how the right British accent can make even the dumbest rubbish sound smart, until you think on it for more than 10 seconds.
funny that i have yet to locate your argument within your sentence
@@TheTeeProd I didn't make an argument. I made a statement. Perhaps if you imagine it spoken with an R.P. british accent it will sound more intelligent and you can add more credulity to the bullshit coming out my mouth.
@@Im_B9ite deal
@@Im_B9itewe imagine it said by a moron with a mouthful of dogshit. Which you obviously are.
Correct. his ideas are laughable. The idea that we should be having more kids and that fossil fuels will need to remain as a staple of society are childishly simplistic and naive.
What about when we run out of fossil fuels and there's no land to grow the crops on because we've been using fossil fuels to grow food instead of nurturing good top soil and using good crop rotation? Fossil fuel based fertilisers are the reason soil quality is at an all time low and pretending that's not a major issue in the world is absolutely out of touch with reality.
Then there's migration. If you just open the borders to anyone who wants to come, you'll have massively inflated house prices and rental prices. Immigration is limited for a reason and it's not because of xenophobia. It's because of economics.
So many great lines in this one. Below are just my personal favorites that made me think.
2:38 "Equality of outcome is never gonna happen because equality of effort doesn't exist."
24:31 That's the difference between hard working, industrious, conscientious people and people that don't work hard. I'd say the latter are the most common because doing what Jimmy Carr describes here is incredibly hard to do. It is what got him to the top. Not everyone wants to be at the top and not everyone can do as much as he does. This goes right back to 2:38 and his "equality of effort doesn't exist" statement. But props to him. That's a great mindset to strive for.
25:30 "Because you don't rise to your goals, you fall to your systems." Not sure what he means by "systems" here. Maybe talents? Skills? Profession? Vocation? Not sure but it makes sense. Only how many people in the world find out about their true systems? Maybe they belong in a profession that they haven't heard of yet or need an environment to thrive that's not close to them.
27:00 "They are jealous of what you got. They are not jealous of how you got it"
31:33 That's just a hypothesis but maybe the reason why there are so many comedians now and there weren't 25 years ago is because economically, culturally, socially, globally we were in a much better place back than and there was less bad stuff to point out by making fun of it. Comedians are like a reverse canary in the coalmine, they turn up when things get really bad. Would be interesting to look into this if this happened before in human history.
34:47 Really interesting to hear Jimmy's perspective on this. For me this is an indication of isolationist media bubbles and how social media shapes our view of the world that is not necessarily or at all in line with the real-life experience.
I still wonder though, I've seen some gnarly sh!t on the internet where people are trying to destroy people's lives or at least censor someone over a joke and in some instances being very successful (see Graham Linehan and Jerry Sadowitz). Tyler Fisher is another example of where the industry is at where people get rejected because of their skin color as number one reason and not because they are not talented.
1:00:35 "The trick of life is to know what you are, to accept what you are early on, and to lean into that." To bad they didn't talk about what the best strategy is to figure out what you are.
1:02:49 "Kids are not gonna listen to what I say. They're gonna watch and imitate [what I do]."
1:03:31 "Resentment is the opposite of gratitude"
Friedrich Nietzsche on resentment: "If you think someone's ruined your life, you're right. It's you."
1:07:25 "It's not the pursuit of happiness, it's the happiness of the pursuit." a.k.a. the path is the goal.
1:09:28 "What would you tomorrow be grateful that you today did? That's a great way to live your life."
Ohhh man. I love it when Jimmy, as a person who has never been in poverty, talks like he knows what poverty is and means and everything.
He's got a lot in common with Konstantin in that respect.
He has been in poverty. He used to live in his car for years, doing the comedy circle. He had very little. He has worked hard for where he is, and can see both sides.
I disagree with his tax avoidance, though.
@@jagolago-bobWhat do you mean by disagree on his tax avoidance? Do you mean that tax avoidance aka something legal but not in the spirit of the law shouldn't be a thing or that he shouldn't have done what he did for moral reasons or something along those lines.
@@jagolago-bob Without taking a stance on his understanding of poverty, I think "live in his car" is not quite accurate, much as with Ed Sheeran. It wasn't "living in his car because he's poor" so much as "living out of his car because he was on the road all the time, and it was more convenient than going home every night and cheaper than a hotel".
Poverty is a mindset, which you seem to be suffering from.
Jimmy Carr has an answer for every big question…except how to make Jimmy Carr funny again.
Triggernometry. The incarnation of controlled opposition. Never a challenge on anything important. I love Jimmy Carr as a comedian but his life and political takes are mental!!
the battle of donkey laughs
With no picture it would sound as missing a chromosome gathering.
@@Slumbert it's an extra chromosome for down's syndome though
We can stop charging for university when we stop sending 50% of school leavers.
He talks BS but I agree with hm about the introduction of university fees.... STOP giving free shite to immigrates and put in back into education.
@@royfr8136 I am amazed at how Trigg fan boys get triggerred any time immigration is mentioned in a positive way.
@@royboy4571 Pretty lame and pitiful. They won't even finish the interview because their emotions won't let them. "Fuck your feelings" indeed. The whiniest, bitchiest little cunts are on the right.
He did say uni should be harder to get in to
Regardless of whether you agree with what he said or not, I don't think you properly listened to what he actually said.
Wonderful interview... I have grown to truly appreciate and love Jimmy Carr these past few years and this has not enhanced it but confirmed why i do ..
