I think everyone should let go of the civilian thing. Not everyone's job has thousands of people tweeting to them how bad they are it and it makes sense that he would defend himself. Just let it go that he called you a civilian.
Who is the funniest English stand up comedian? I honestly have tried to watch English comedians and I really don't find them that funny. The guy Reginald D Hunter appears to be a popular comedian in England. He is a black American who doesn't seem to be funny in the slightest bit. I think because England doesn't have that many black people, they are far too easily amused by them.
Frankie Boyle has the exact same problems as Carr. He tries too hard to be controversial but feels being ant Islam is racist.
He makes fun of mental illness so boring housewives think he's edgy.
"My friend told me that if he ever gets Alzheimer's i should kill him. I told him you just said that".
Unfunny shit like that which will cause a stir in England because it's even more PC over there. In America that wouldve been hack in the 80s. He even has some "le Christianity is dumb" humor. He even had the cheek to show someone calling him the new Lenny Bruce before a special. America is so much better for stand up than the UK. It is an American art after all.
Wow that video made me angry. That little kid was more of a man than the guy hosting it. Then he brings in the black guy. I thought he was going to have him fuck those two white women while he watched and jerked off in the corner. That was some crazy cuck shit.
political correctness is a lot more rampant over there in general
lol, no? Brits recognize that jokes arent literal or representative and so dont get all butthurt when someone says something racist, sexist, etcetera. To actually get the public upset you have to realllly push it. Frankie Boyle got in a little bit of trouble for suggesting a hot celebrity was marrying an MMA fighter so her down's syndrome son wouldnt rape her when he became a teenager. Jimmy Carr got a little shit for saying that we should send mosquito nets to africa, to save mosquitos from catching aids.
That Rotherham shit happened because the police dont particularly care what pakistanis do to each other, but that doesnt sound as good as blaming it on 'institutionalised political correctness'.
Some goofy bitch said some goofy shit. This happens everywhere and isnt indicative of the country as a whole. Consider 'safe spaces' as an example of this.
Yeah, England probably is the most pc country after the northern european countries, but yet they dont mind a good spirited pedo/ holocaust/ rape joke on regular tv.
Oh, and yes, america is much better than england at stand up. Thats not really arguable.
Are you sure? I could be wrong but I thought the vast majority of victims were internal to the community. You might be right, but my point was that british audiences are far more forgiving for politically incorrect humor than american audiences.
He's funny. But I can't stand his fake laugh and I love when he has to awkwardly draw it out when other people in the room are actually really laughing for an extended period of time.
He's about as funny as a british comic can be. I find him to be hit or miss as far as being funny but I appreciate his attitude on not caving to offended people.

Jimmy Carr is funny.

Get fucked. Last special wasn't good but he's got some great jokes (not the your mum ones though)
3 thrillated 2016-04-09
Dude's hilarious, I don't think one bad special erases the other great ones from memory.
9 JesusLesnar 2016-04-09
Nah I liked the last special. He's a bit 'rigid' if that makes any sense, but he still makes me laugh. Besides, you took a minor filler bit.

His stiffness came from crippling stage fright when he first started. He literally wouldnt move anything except his jaw and mouth.

Yeah that's the video that made me stop liking him. I thought he was tolerable before that.

Here's a response video from an equally stupid man who destroys him.

Literally thousands of girls were raped because police were afraid of being labelled racist.
England is the home of clapping being deemed offensive so use jazz hands instead.
In the UK being anti immigration and EU gets you labelled a racist.
England is the most PC country outside Scandinavia and Germany.

Actually the pakis weren't doing to each other. It was white English girls.

1 Wellshiteinabucket 2016-04-09
No if you read the article I linked it laid it out clearly. English girls didn't show "modesty" so they viewed it as acceptable.
1 Nulltor 2016-04-09
Yeah, I just did some reading on rotherham, its super fucked up, the vast majority of victims were white, and the police were useless.
What does this have to do with how audiences deal with offensive stand up?
0 ImperviousSeahorse 2016-04-09
Frankie Boyle is without a doubt the most offensive comedian working today. I highly recommend him.
3 throwawayorsummat 2016-04-09
His last special was shit but the rest are fucking hilarious

Most of Jimmy Carrs jokes are meh. But sometimes he hit you with a good one.

Hes one if those "I make fun of the Bible! I'm edgy!" Douches. He isn't a very good writer.
