I met Jimmy Carr after a show on the day I passed my PhD viva. My wife mentioned it to him and he was really interested. Held up the autograph signing queue for a good chat about environmental toxicology (my topic)! A really nice guy.
I met Jimmy Carr after a show once in an autograph signing queue. Unfortunately there was some bloke with his Mrs holding everybody up, seriously they were there for ages and you could sense that the people behind them were getting annoyed, but Jimmy was smiling and being pleasant. Anyway, being nosey like I am, when I got to the front of the queue I couldn't resist asking him what the hold up was about. He said that the bloke was looking really smug and his Mrs mentioned that he'd just passed his PhD viva, and went on to bore him to death talking about Toxicology. Jimmy said he put up with it because his wife was so gorgeous to look at. The best bit though was when he handed his autographed book back to the bloke, as while he was admiring it Jimmy managed to write his phone number on the wife's copy to which she gave Jimmy a cheeky wink! A really nice guy.
If you watch his face closely, every time he pushes the boundaries his eyes are everywhere over the audience. He reads their reactions and adjusts his jokes accordingly. Bob Monkhouse was the same, his eyes used to dart around checking the audience every joke. Absolute masters of comedy.
I know someone who really disliked his humour and who made a point of approaching him after a gig in Ireland in the mid '00s and saying something like "You're just like Bob Monkhouse!" thinking it was an insult. Jimmy replied "Thanks very much!" You can tell he's heavily inspired by Bob's discipline of the craft
I can totally believe that. The more I think of it the more I can see Bob Monkhouse taking over him. Maybe he's posessed? 😉You'd think so sometimes! @@garethm3242
Jimmy is not always offensive, I think his near perfect delivery and timing means only he can deliver certain jokes. He is but a master of his art. Anyone who can't see that is like Hawking in a house fire.
It’s not his being on the edge that does it, it’s all of the pushes that he gives, that truly makes people laugh, and this along with holding up the hypocrites of the world for everyone to see, is exactly why comedians and comediennes should never be censored……….
I remember after one of his jokes that lost the audience and got him a couple boos he just said "you were laughing at the holocaust a minute ago" and everyone sort of realised it was silly to act offended now.
I'm an Australian. Jimmy is my type of humour. For those who criticize, don't watch him. You know beforehand exactly what you're gonna get. The people who pay to see him know exactly that. He is very close to the bone if not over it & he knows it
He's a genius. The way he toes the line while slowly and unnoticably edging it further and further away. One of my most favourite comedians of all time
I’m Canadian and I love watching Jimmy Carr. I also wanted to say that I absolutely love your accent. Subtle and soft. Your voice would be perfect for ASMR videos. I could listen to you all day. Cheers.
These jokes tend to come at the end of his shows. He's spent 2 hours softening his audience with fairly edgy stuff then just gets darker towards the end by which time he has taken the audience with him and they are almost willing him to offend them. Pure artistry.
The opposite approach of frankie boyle, who comes out and tells half the audience there cunts and should kill themself in minutes and then wont let up for a full hour and a bit of absolute brutality 😂😂
Don't get me wrong - I did like his Princess Diana Joke but Frankie Boyle did several better ones OK What do you get if you cross the Duke of Edinborough and the Queen? ........... Dead in a Parissien tunnel
With his 5th joke about the "airplane and train tunnel" he pointed out 3 things that he liked about it when it comes to the after effects. There is an obvious 4th that he could add to those. "There are those those of you in this crowd that have young children and tomorrow at feeding time when you are trying to get them to take a bite you are going to have to rethink how you go about it."
Jimmy Carr has another one of his most offensive jokes. "If we could get mosquito nets distributed to everyone in Africa that needs them, we could save hundreds of millions of mosquitos needlessly dying of AIDS every year". :-D
If you watch his stand up you will notice he is really quick and ruthless with hecklers but that is part of his show. Also he has some killer quick one liners. I think he has the shortest joke ever written. It is just 2 words: "dwarf shortage". His countdown intros are also great roasts.
@@brianmacintire3064 Exactly. Jimmy's jokes aren't offensive. Being offended is something people own themselves. One chooses to be offended or not. It really is that simple, Jimmy 'gets away with it' thanks to the context he adds. It's like the Charlie Hebdo thing, you don't like the cartoons? So don't buy the magazine, but if you do (or go to one of Jimmy's shows) then basically STFU....coz you knew what you were in for.
OMG, not only was this a great compiling of Jimmy Carr, i really appreciate how you convey what you're feeling/thinking with your eyes and reaction rather than stopping every 10 seconds. Letting the jokes play out and letting us feel similar emotions with you is gold!

@@Scripture-Man 🤣 I asked him if he had any tricks to help me get better tips. He waved his hand like he was doing a Jedi mind trick and said, "You don't need any tips" 🤣
Saw Jimmy in Sheffield a few years ago. After the gig he meets every fan that would like to meet them and signs a couple of items for them. A quick chat with a joke. Seemed a good bloke
@@kurt5079 "Tried telling him a joke. Of course he already knew the punchline" That once happened to me with a vicar - he stopped me with, "I first heard that one in Spanish - un ojo de cristal sobre la mesa."
Amanda, I was lucky enough to see Jimmy Carr live and even got to meet him afterwards. I love his comedy because although he is saying some of the most offensive things, I find that he does it in a non-offensive way because he is simply exploring the act of offending people rather than saying anything that he actually believes. He was such a nice guy when I chatted with him. Offstage he is a really genuine nice guy.
I doubt I'm the only one that would love to see Jimmy Carr do The Aristocrats. I also doubt he could do it without cracking but that's part of the fun.
Everyone is entitled NOT to like a comedian’s jokes. What they’re NOT entitled to, however, is to stop ME from hearing them! And that’s what cancel culture is all about…enforcing THEIR standards on ME! That’s called “fascism”.
Watch 8 out of 10 cats, and I think its superior version the mash-up of that show and Countdown, which started as a one-off but quickly became one of the funniest things you will ever see. Sean Lock went into overdrive on the show, which sometimes just melted because of one of his jokes. R.I.P Sean Lock, a comedy genius.
Hi Amanda, no that's him at his most offensive. He does have an amazing rapport with his audience members in most of his stand-up and his come backs to hecklers are legendary.
@@LADYRAEUK i was wondering, do you sing? Your voice has a LOT of richness, color and warmth to it and you have a fairly low range. Your voice is an instrument just like a violin or guitar and to use it properly it helps to get lessons. i would love to hear what you can do with yours.
Love Jimmy Carr. Love the fact he isn't afraid to upset the politically correct and woke. He did a show for injured soldiers. He said "Hey!! We'll have a great paralympic team". He was castigated by the left wing and liberals. The soldiers loved it and invited him back. He now does a free show for them every year. Respect to Jimmy.
Love Jimmy Carr too but, mate, saying the castigation was by the "left wing and liberals" is just your own personal bias. There were plenty of right wing Karens that took offence too (Daily Mail, The Mirror etc) but, yeah, no squaddies that I know of. Plus he turned out to be right in the end.
I think Jimmy is hysterical. Never heard a joke where I thought, “he’s gone too far”…ever. That’s mostly because I understand that he is a comedian; he’s telling jokes. They’re jokes. I’m a liberal, and I get it. I’m tired of cancel culture threatening people for practicing their craft. You don’t like it, don’t watch. I feel that’s pretty simple, easy to execute.
Amanda, I was absolutely wetting myself watching your expressions , giggles, shock, horror, laughs, even a snort. Jimmy Carr is very very no limits for a laugh......but you definitely were the star watching this reaction. Best reaction video I’ve seen ever as you basically reacted as we all did watching him.. Thank you for this comedy gold, your expressions mimicked us all as we watched 😂👍🏻
I just LOVED the way that Amanda`s expressions changed during this video, when she heard some of these "Jokes" from Jimmy, she had a look of horror on her face, but five seconds later she was laughing as much as any of us who were watching these clips. Which simply proves that she a wicked sense of fun as well being shocked at some of the content. She is a REAL STAR
You do have a very sexy voice, if my wife just said 'goodnight' with that voice, she would probably end up claiming that she had a headache or I would have one the next morning... and crawl to work.
He's genuinely one of the best comics this country has produced, he tends to provide more context before the "Did he just say that" line that a bunch of clips don't show. But he also just goes for the jugular on many occasions!
@@terrenceverheul7421 Sorry, I was referring to stand up comedy (I did not make that clear) and you make a great point with Billy Connelly who was awesome at his best. Python, Atkinson and Laurie were excellent on TV and stage performing sketches, but are not in the same league at stand up.
After about 200 hours of watching Jimmy Carr footage, I finally realized that the reason why he can get away with it is he says things that take the edge off a little if the reaction to the punchline suggests that the audience was not taking it well
Just a little background for you - Jimmy trained to be a priest and was celibate until the age of 26... As you can see, he's given up on that now. Personally I think he's at his best presenting 8 out of ten cats / does countdown and Big fat quiz. Just look up the Suzie Dent Glory Hole joke for a prime example of what he can do to room by accident.....
What I love about this kind of humor, it's humor. We might have all different tastes in humor, but he's simply up there telling jokes. And that's all they are. It has something pure to it
Jimmy Carr is, "what you you see is what you get." He's a rude man and really funny. American comedy is really tame. He is leading another British invasion.
I happened to meet him after a show, always has a signing session afterwards and had a little chat and he is genuinely a really nice guy, very humble and loves his fans :)
ive seen jimmy carr 4 times live and always came out in pain with laughter. he is so close to the edge its so funny. one of the best comedians out there. love the guy
"I cannot believe he just said that!" And then you spoiled the anguish by snorting again! Amanda, you are just priceless, you make my day - pure loveliness in a video! And Billy Connolly is the numero uno - if you can find his stand-up on the Whoopi Goldberg show you will laugh and laugh and laugh. Sincerely.
I'm Scottish (and British, referring to another one of Amanda's videos) and, funnily enough, my (Texan) wife's favourite two comedians are Jimmy Carr and Billy Connolly.
Having seen Jimmy Carr more than 10.times live on stage, it is his comic style and the way he tells jokes that make him stand out. Yes, his jokes are near the mark and edgy, but comedy is meant to be edgy. Jokes test your conscience while you laugh. And I have to commend you for your comments during the video as they were spot on. You found the jokes funny, but it was also the shock factor. A great video. Also, having met Jimmy Carr after a gig a few years ago, he is a nice person who makes a lot of time for his fans
I saw him live a bit ago in Denmark and one of the things he talked about it that he's not really afraid of being cancelled, he knows it will happen and that the joke that will do it is already out there on The Internet. It's number 5 on this list.
Channel 4 in the UK have given him more shows since all of this. 🤣 They love it because it's jokes. It's those that act whiter than white and are actually found out to be nasty that will get cancelled imo.
Loved it even more by being an American with an obviously good vein for dark humour. Thanks for the reaction. (And thank god for comedians like Jimmy Carr who are just soo good at making people laugh).
his humour is ‘left turn humour’. You’re going down the road to the destinations Jimmy Carr sets up and suddenly you take a left turn and you laugh because you didn’t see it coming (although you probably should have). It’s the unexpected. And half of it is funny because you KNOW it’s going to be crass, but you don’t know how he’s going to sell it. He’s absolutely brilliant.
Jimmy Carr knows exactly what he's saying and what it provokes. It's right on the edge - too much for some, maybe - but then you shouldn't be watching if it is. It's just comedy to me and I take it for what it is. Frankie Boyle is another great shocker that I think is brilliant.
In his shows, he does normal story telling comedy, then drops one of these bombs in. Or he will just start mild and work his way up until he loses the crowd. Also, his dealing with hecklers is legendary.
My favourite comedian is Dave Allen from his TV show from the 90's, he's a must watch, my other is Ronnie Barker, being totally honest never found Jimmy Carr that funny.
Hahaha Amanda, your facial expression at the beginning of number 3, omg, that took you by surprise 🤣, Jimmy is great at taking it right up to the line 😁
You should do a Sean Locke reaction as a tribute. Or if you liked the Jimmy Carr offensive jokes, Jimmy Carr heckle put downs or Jimmy Carr introducing people on cats does countdown are always great
sean lock always made me laugh and he still does when i watch his videos on youtube as well as when he made everybody lose it on the big fat quiz of the year 2008
Jimmy Carr isn't "British humour". There are thousands of other British comedians. It isn't "graveyard humour". Graveyard humour is when YOU are dying and while you are dying you make jokes about it.
Part of what Jimmy Carr does is what is called "Paraprosdokians" - where the final part of the sentence/joke changes how you interpret what came before. It's an interesting way to do shock humour as it's not making light of the subject matter, it's all about the gap with the audience expectations. I don't know if you could find a good Emo Phillips video, but that was very much his style and some of his material was similarly dark "My schoolmates would make love to anything that moved, but I never saw any reason to limit myself." I'll be honest, I prefer the likes of Ed Byrne and Dara O'Brien to Jimmy Carr, but I don't think their material does so well when edited down, a lot of Carr's stuff works as isolated clips
As some others have almost certainly said, he makes a point of saying that they are just jokes and that is all. It is escapism and when you are at a comedy gig, it is like you have carte blanche to laugh at anyone and everyone being ripped to shreds. I have seen him live loads of times and he always tests the audience to see where the limit is. No show is the same though, not even on the same tour, which is why he is one of my favourite stand-ups. He and Dara O'Briarn who is imo, the best at ad-lib at his gigs, especially when he interacts with the audience. Genius!
I dont trust the hecklers being real in his live gigs. Went to see him once and the heckler was clearly paid to do it as part of the routine. Same voice from several different locations throughout the gig. Only part about his live shows i dont like.
@@Chilledoutredhead 'Same voice from several different locations'... And you think nobody noticed this guy scurrying about, and would have been talkin about in on the internet somewhere? Sounds like bullshit and/or confirmation bias to me tbh
He is literally one of the funiest people alive. To top it off he is highly intelligent. He does his jokes as pure shock value, He doesn't trueley believe in what hes saying, if he did it wouldn't be funny. he is also extremely quick witted. If you see any of his live shows where he deals with hecklers, he deals with them on the fly and its a different joke every time.
To be honest, Billy Connolly is very funny but he is not a joke teller, he tells funny stories and acts them out but Jimmy car is a proper stand up comedian. I think that the best three we have or did have is Sean Locke, Jimmy Carr and Lee mack. Unfortunately Sean died a few days ago and he most certainly will be missed, he had a way of being absurd and really funny.
@@genwoolfe Yes, I really like Ricky Gervais but I am sorry, I never found Jimmy Hones to be very funny, he is a bit like Roy Chubby Brown, just filth without the funny, although I do prefer him to Brown. We could go through lists of comedians that we thought were great but not in favour at the moment, like Jethro, I thought that he was so funny, have a look for him on here.
Jimmy is such an amazing comedian. He is unequivocally hilarious. If you are offended by his humour, then after you have finished laughing at it, ask yourself, should we continue to allow today's woke brigade restrict our speech? I say NO!
I remember sitting down with my (now late) fiancée, whom had disclosed to me she had been raped months prior to our getting together, to watch a TV show of one of his tour dates. There was a screen up scrolling through some one liners in his style, and the last one before he was introduced onto stage was, “What’s worse than finding a worm in your apple?”, followed by, “Being raped.” I was ready to miss some great comedy, and for a few seconds I was reaching for the remote, and bless her, after the initial shock, she burst out laughing. Very “close to the mark” comedy sometimes, and that’s Me saying with absolutely no taboos in humour….
My Favorite Comedian is the best of all time and I don’t think there is one person out there that once they think about it could disagree with me !!! And his name is Robin Williams 💕💕💕💕 RIP my friend YOUR LIGHT BURNED OUT WAY TOO SOON !!!! May God bring you into his arms !!!
#3 caught me off guard so bad I laughed for 5 minutes. I haven't laughed that hard in a long while. I love his longer setups, but it's the quick hits that get me the most. Your reaction was perfect as well.
When you realise that EVERYTHING HE MAKES FUN OF IS REAL !!! Then, you reach to the conclusion that he's not offensive at all. He just tells REAL stuff that happends every day to people, with people ! ... :-)
Amanda, Jimmy is a true comedy genius. He does what he does to make you go "eurggh". That is his angle, his onscreen persona. I noticed that some of his lines totally went over your head, maybe because you were not a native of the UK and did not understand the references or maybe becasue the American level of humour is a lot more literal. As a Brit who lives in America I notice that your greatest comedians on a cerebral level, where you have to actually think, are not as celebrated as your more in your face comedians.
He's a comedy genius. He takes you to the edge, then a little bit further, then pulls you back for more. He;s the edging specialist of the comedy world.
His motivation is to mess with your head. He’ll make you laugh, initially, only to then make you think, 'I shouldn’t really have laughed at that' He mines grey areas, but I’m not saying he’s into fucking seniors ...😮
Do you know what I love…. It’s not the jokes… or your reaction… it’s the effort you put into your videos… there’s great lighting, a two camera set up that you use when you turn to talk at the end, there’s decent sound…. And you even jump in and out for alternate takes. I’m a video editor by trade, so it’s just nice to see the effort.
@@LADYRAEUK Like I said I’ve edited for 15+ years… it’s my day job. So I always appreciate when someone makes decent content and cares to use good equipment and learns the techniques. 👍🏼 I doff my cap.
Jimmy Carr is almost always that offensive, but I appreciate how he’s willing to be on the edge, constantly. “8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown” is hilarious, and has introduced me to some great British comedians. Personal favs are James Acaster, Sarah Millikan, Joe Lycett, Jon Richardson, Joe Wilkinson and Sean Lock. Greg Davies’ impression of boxer Chris Eubank is comedy gold, (but be sure to pair it with the follow-up episode)!
Have to agree mate freaking brilliant show, have to watch via TH-cam in the US. I was absolutely gutted when Sean passed what an amazing talent and gent of a guy.
My favourite Jimmy Carr joke: "If we bought more mosquito nets for Africa then we could save literally millions... *pause for effect*... of mosquitos from needlessly died of AIDS"
I had the good fortune to see The big yin ,live in 1978 , he was just starting out as a stand up comic, he had the place in an uproar , I laughed so much that I almost lost consciousness , the rest is history .
@@firpark4864 The great thing is, his material has stood up to the test of time. You look at a lot of comics from that time and you'll cringe at a lot of it, it hasn't aged well. Billy Connelly is certainly the exception.
said if one joke isn't funny then they aren't all funny. we cannot pick and choose what is and what's not. comedy is open to interpretation. you cannot feel offended by one joke by a comedian and then laugh at another
Great review. I never heard any of these jokes before, so they had there effect. My head was in my hands with shock at some of them. As far as other comedians, I still think the late Dave Allen was amongst the best. His Tv programmes were a staple on BBC for year. He was a lapsed Catholic so is jokes at the religions expense were so memorable, I look forward to your next vid. Best Wishes
If you think Jimmy is “edgy”, just try some Frankie Boyle! Hint, he used to write for Jimmy Carr and was blacklisted by the beeb for a while thanks to some of his more controversial jokes!
The guy is a genius, and your reaction is exactly what he was looking for!! "Did you just say that?" is what Jimmy is about. Great bloke... he just likes to sit on that ledge!!!!!

I was Jimmy Carrs waiter years ago when he was doing Birmingham NIA. He would come in for lunch. We were a very nice restaurant so we'd get a lot of celebrities in. Jimmy was one of the top 3 nicest. A genuinely nice, warm, modest guy.
My other top 2 were Derren Brown and Stephen Fry. We were used to having celebrities in, but when Stephen Fry walked in a hush fell over the place, including the staff. There was just a presence about him. I think he found it a bit embarrassing. But I got the honor of serving his table and he's was great.
What's funny is that I never remembered how much the nice celebs tipped. It was always the bad ones that I remember the tips.
"So what was Derren Brown life in real life?"
"Derren Brown was one of the nicest men I've ever met, a true gentleman."
"Oh really? Did he do any of that hypnosis stuff on you?"
"Derren Brown was one of the nicest men I've ever met, a true gentleman."

Saw Jimmy in Sheffield a few years ago. After the gig he meets every fan that would like to meet them and signs a couple of items for them. A quick chat with a joke. Seemed a good bloke
Yeah he did the same in Manchester years ago. Tried telling him a joke. Of course he already knew the punchline :)
They say he works the hardest.. he took over the mantle from Ken Dodd. Interestingly both got caught tax dogging lol
@@kurt5079 "Tried telling him a joke. Of course he already knew the punchline"
That once happened to me with a vicar - he stopped me with, "I first heard that one in Spanish - un ojo de cristal sobre la mesa."
Met him twice after heckling him on stage and he's honestly a nice guy!
I wish I wasn't so shy I would love to get his autograph after a gig. I've seen him live three times
Nothing is off limits in English humour. Make the most of these times while they last.
It's over. Comedians now being cancelled everywhere by woke organizers. Jerry Sadowicz etc.
Amanda, I was lucky enough to see Jimmy Carr live and even got to meet him afterwards. I love his comedy because although he is saying some of the most offensive things, I find that he does it in a non-offensive way because he is simply exploring the act of offending people rather than saying anything that he actually believes. He was such a nice guy when I chatted with him. Offstage he is a really genuine nice guy.
genuine guy?not with his taxes
I doubt I'm the only one that would love to see Jimmy Carr do The Aristocrats. I also doubt he could do it without cracking but that's part of the fun.
@@cutesy1631Would you pay taxes to those clowns in Westminster,if you could avoid it.😂😂😂
Whiny modern comics: "You can't tell offensive jokes anymore!!!"
Jimmy: Hold my beer.
If you think Jimmy is a bit extreme, you should see some of Frankie Boyles earlier stuff on Mock the Week.
That's when Boyle was funny before he went woke
Woke hypocrite
"Often I'll volunteer to help abused girls...find their way out of my apartment."
Frankie Boyle used to write for Jimmy Carr
Everyone is entitled NOT to like a comedian’s jokes. What they’re NOT entitled to, however, is to stop ME from hearing them! And that’s what cancel culture is all about…enforcing THEIR standards on ME! That’s called “fascism”.
Watch 8 out of 10 cats, and I think its superior version the mash-up of that show and Countdown, which started as a one-off but quickly became one of the funniest things you will ever see. Sean Lock went into overdrive on the show, which sometimes just melted because of one of his jokes. R.I.P Sean Lock, a comedy genius.

Hi Amanda, no that's him at his most offensive. He does have an amazing rapport with his audience members in most of his stand-up and his come backs to hecklers are legendary.
His delivery is seamless! He never stumbles and his timing and facial expressions are perfect!
Your laughter (peppered with the most endearing of mild snorts) is truly infectious. Don’t ever change Amanda! 👍
Thank you so much😊

@@LADYRAEUK i was wondering, do you sing? Your voice has a LOT of richness, color and warmth to it and you have a fairly low range. Your voice is an instrument just like a violin or guitar and to use it properly it helps to get lessons. i would love to hear what you can do with yours.
I do sing but mainly in the car lol
I appreciate your kind words 😊
Love Jimmy Carr.
Love the fact he isn't afraid to upset the politically correct and woke.
He did a show for injured soldiers.
He said "Hey!! We'll have a great paralympic team".
He was castigated by the left wing and liberals.
The soldiers loved it and invited him back.
He now does a free show for them every year. Respect to Jimmy.
Love Jimmy Carr too but, mate, saying the castigation was by the "left wing and liberals" is just your own personal bias. There were plenty of right wing Karens that took offence too (Daily Mail, The Mirror etc) but, yeah, no squaddies that I know of. Plus he turned out to be right in the end.
@Soul of a robot Professionally offended alert.
I think Jimmy is hysterical. Never heard a joke where I thought, “he’s gone too far”…ever. That’s mostly because I understand that he is a comedian; he’s telling jokes. They’re jokes. I’m a liberal, and I get it. I’m tired of cancel culture threatening people for practicing their craft. You don’t like it, don’t watch. I feel that’s pretty simple, easy to execute.
Like every great comedian, Jimmy is just holding up a mirror to our society.
Jimmy being less offensive but very funny as Host of "8 out of 10 Cats Do Countdown" with his hilarious put-downs of his guests...
I mean his glory hole joke to Susie Dent sure is as insane as anything he does in his stand up.
Amanda, I was absolutely wetting myself watching your expressions , giggles, shock, horror, laughs, even a snort. Jimmy Carr is very very no limits for a laugh......but you definitely were the star watching this reaction. Best reaction video I’ve seen ever as you basically reacted as we all did watching him.. Thank you for this comedy gold, your expressions mimicked us all as we watched 😂👍🏻
Hahah thank you so much, I definitely wasn’t prepared for some of those jokes 🤣
@@LADYRAEUK Please could you react to Frankie Boyle - best of audience annihilation part 1 ? :)
@@LADYRAEUK the jimmy carr joke on the jonathan ross show about cameron diaz's breasts making him feel much calmer was funny!
I just LOVED the way that Amanda`s expressions changed during this video, when she heard some of these "Jokes" from Jimmy, she had a look of horror on her face, but five seconds later she was laughing as much as any of us who were watching these clips. Which simply proves that she a wicked sense of fun as well being shocked at some of the content. She is a REAL STAR
God I honestly can’t get over how smooth, clear and angelic your voice actually is! It’s unreal.

He's genuinely one of the best comics this country has produced, he tends to provide more context before the "Did he just say that" line that a bunch of clips don't show. But he also just goes for the jugular on many occasions!

Python, Atkinson and Laurie were excellent on TV and stage performing sketches, but are not in the same league at stand up.
After about 200 hours of watching Jimmy Carr footage, I finally realized that the reason why he can get away with it is he says things that take the edge off a little if the reaction to the punchline suggests that the audience was not taking it well
200 hours? You sure about that? That's watching his videos 8 hours a day for a whole month solid. If true, that's insane dedication.
Just a little background for you - Jimmy trained to be a priest and was celibate until the age of 26... As you can see, he's given up on that now. Personally I think he's at his best presenting 8 out of ten cats / does countdown and Big fat quiz. Just look up the Suzie Dent Glory Hole joke for a prime example of what he can do to room by accident.....
That Suzie Dent gloryhole comment was so unnecessary but so so funny. I laugh every time I see it.

Jimmy Carr and Frankie Boyle are the best at offensive/brutal material.
When it comes to brutal material, neither could lace Jerry Sadowitz's boots. Frankie Boyle has been accused of copying his style and toning it down.
Don't forget Ricky Gervais
Frankie has gone WOKE now unfortunately
@@Mister_Rosco_to_you jerry who?
Frankie is a woke hypocrite these days. I have zero respect for him. I used to love him.
Jimmy Carr is, "what you you see is what you get." He's a rude man and really funny. American comedy is really tame. He is leading another British invasion.
I happened to meet him after a show, always has a signing session afterwards and had a little chat and he is genuinely a really nice guy, very humble and loves his fans :)
ive seen jimmy carr 4 times live and always came out in pain with laughter. he is so close to the edge its so funny. one of the best comedians out there. love the guy
"I cannot believe he just said that!" And then you spoiled the anguish by snorting again! Amanda, you are just priceless, you make my day - pure loveliness in a video! And Billy Connolly is the numero uno - if you can find his stand-up on the Whoopi Goldberg show you will laugh and laugh and laugh. Sincerely.
I'm Scottish (and British, referring to another one of Amanda's videos) and, funnily enough, my (Texan) wife's favourite two comedians are Jimmy Carr and Billy Connolly.
Having seen Jimmy Carr more than 10.times live on stage, it is his comic style and the way he tells jokes that make him stand out. Yes, his jokes are near the mark and edgy, but comedy is meant to be edgy. Jokes test your conscience while you laugh. And I have to commend you for your comments during the video as they were spot on. You found the jokes funny, but it was also the shock factor. A great video. Also, having met Jimmy Carr after a gig a few years ago, he is a nice person who makes a lot of time for his fans
Watching Amanda’s face goes from pure joy (joke 4) to utter disgust (joke 3) is a thing of beauty!
3 Didn't really make sense.
@@BWater-yq3jx It does make sense, but I’m not going to explain it here!
@@BWater-yq3jx oh it definitely makes sense
Jimmy always does his job as a comedian, walking right up to the edge of that cliff.
He really does! Lol
8:31 Jimmys face is classic! He knows everyone is offended but pissing themselves laughing anyway!
I saw him live a bit ago in Denmark and one of the things he talked about it that he's not really afraid of being cancelled, he knows it will happen and that the joke that will do it is already out there on The Internet.
It's number 5 on this list.
Channel 4 in the UK have given him more shows since all of this. 🤣 They love it because it's jokes. It's those that act whiter than white and are actually found out to be nasty that will get cancelled imo.
He is brilliant live
He tells every audience at the start thst these are jokes, if you are offended by words this isnt the place for you 😁
Try watching Frankie Boyles' most offensive jokes..they put Jimmy to shame
They used to be writing partners. So they would bounce things off of one another.
+1 for Frankie. The levels of utter brutality go waaaay beyond Jimmy’s worst
Yet he’s very sensitive, blocked me on Twitter for something…can’t even remember what!?
Loved it even more by being an American with an obviously good vein for dark humour. Thanks for the reaction. (And thank god for comedians like Jimmy Carr who are just soo good at making people laugh).
his humour is ‘left turn humour’. You’re going down the road to the destinations Jimmy Carr sets up and suddenly you take a left turn and you laugh because you didn’t see it coming (although you probably should have). It’s the unexpected. And half of it is funny because you KNOW it’s going to be crass, but you don’t know how he’s going to sell it.
He’s absolutely brilliant.
A great analysis
You crack me up 😆 you have lived in the uk for 10 years and are still shocked at their sense of humour 🤣 your innocence makes you adorable 🥰
Jimmy Carr knows exactly what he's saying and what it provokes. It's right on the edge - too much for some, maybe - but then you shouldn't be watching if it is. It's just comedy to me and I take it for what it is. Frankie Boyle is another great shocker that I think is brilliant.
i agree, i love them both! :)
In his shows, he does normal story telling comedy, then drops one of these bombs in. Or he will just start mild and work his way up until he loses the crowd. Also, his dealing with hecklers is legendary.
Love his heckler responses, but to be fair, it's more often than not a "your mom" joke.
@@Persholm1 that's because most hecklers are young boys. It's harder to hit another vulnerable target for someone like that
@@Persholm1 No it aint . He has used that about once or twice tops . Watched his Heckler vids , he 's brilliant

Hahaha Amanda, your facial expression at the beginning of number 3, omg, that took you by surprise 🤣, Jimmy is great at taking it right up to the line 😁
You should do a Sean Locke reaction as a tribute.
Or if you liked the Jimmy Carr offensive jokes, Jimmy Carr heckle put downs or Jimmy Carr introducing people on cats does countdown are always great
sean lock always made me laugh and he still does when i watch his videos on youtube as well as when he made everybody lose it on the big fat quiz of the year 2008
He likes to end his sets with some edgy material. It's not all like that. Though he is certainly not a comedian to watch for the easily offended.
His roast of Pete Davidson was the most offensive joke ever.
Really?? Lol
@@LADYRAEUK
Did you watch it ?
Billy Connolly is brilliant he starts off telling a joke then digressed to other jokes and by the end he seamlessly gets you to the punch line
Billy Connolly's on another level.......
Billy is the ultimate winner here. I can watch and listen to him all day long
“An audience with Billy Connolly” is old, but might be one of the finest examples of standup ever.

Jimmy Carr isn't "British humour". There are thousands of other British comedians. It isn't "graveyard humour". Graveyard humour is when YOU are dying and while you are dying you make jokes about it.

Well, he was good years ago, very much a story teller and he can act out a story just like Billy Connolly does. It is not reall telling jokes though.
@@Regulus985 Youngster! 49 (and a half).
Part of what Jimmy Carr does is what is called "Paraprosdokians" - where the final part of the sentence/joke changes how you interpret what came before. It's an interesting way to do shock humour as it's not making light of the subject matter, it's all about the gap with the audience expectations. I don't know if you could find a good Emo Phillips video, but that was very much his style and some of his material was similarly dark
"My schoolmates would make love to anything that moved, but I never saw any reason to limit myself."
I'll be honest, I prefer the likes of Ed Byrne and Dara O'Brien to Jimmy Carr, but I don't think their material does so well when edited down, a lot of Carr's stuff works as isolated clips
is right, we are spoon fed carr, a real product of media, scripts, emo should not be mentioned in the same sentence as this stepford puppet.
"Treat them mean,keep them keen".....Great joke !!!😂😂 "Ruined the school trip to Auswitch "😂😂
loL!
As some others have almost certainly said, he makes a point of saying that they are just jokes and that is all. It is escapism and when you are at a comedy gig, it is like you have carte blanche to laugh at anyone and everyone being ripped to shreds. I have seen him live loads of times and he always tests the audience to see where the limit is. No show is the same though, not even on the same tour, which is why he is one of my favourite stand-ups. He and Dara O'Briarn who is imo, the best at ad-lib at his gigs, especially when he interacts with the audience. Genius!
He keeps a straight face thru LOTS and LOTS of practice!
Those were really good jokes and your reaction was [priceless. TY for the reaction vid!
When he’s caught off guard by a heckler or doing anything live, he’s SOOO quick. Brilliant comic
I dont trust the hecklers being real in his live gigs. Went to see him once and the heckler was clearly paid to do it as part of the routine. Same voice from several different locations throughout the gig. Only part about his live shows i dont like.
@@Chilledoutredhead 'Same voice from several different locations'...
And you think nobody noticed this guy scurrying about, and would have been talkin about in on the internet somewhere? Sounds like bullshit and/or confirmation bias to me tbh
He is literally one of the funiest people alive. To top it off he is highly intelligent. He does his jokes as pure shock value, He doesn't trueley believe in what hes saying, if he did it wouldn't be funny. he is also extremely quick witted. If you see any of his live shows where he deals with hecklers, he deals with them on the fly and its a different joke every time.
The best standup comedian has to be Billy Connolly, the master of storytelling.
Stonefish!
To be honest, Billy Connolly is very funny but he is not a joke teller, he tells funny stories and acts them out but Jimmy car is a proper stand up comedian. I think that the best three we have or did have is Sean Locke, Jimmy Carr and Lee mack. Unfortunately Sean died a few days ago and he most certainly will be missed, he had a way of being absurd and really funny.

Jimmy is such an amazing comedian. He is unequivocally hilarious. If you are offended by his humour, then after you have finished laughing at it, ask yourself, should we continue to allow today's woke brigade restrict our speech? I say NO!
I remember sitting down with my (now late) fiancée, whom had disclosed to me she had been raped months prior to our getting together, to watch a TV show of one of his tour dates.
There was a screen up scrolling through some one liners in his style, and the last one before he was introduced onto stage was, “What’s worse than finding a worm in your apple?”, followed by, “Being raped.”
I was ready to miss some great comedy, and for a few seconds I was reaching for the remote, and bless her, after the initial shock, she burst out laughing.
Very “close to the mark” comedy sometimes, and that’s Me saying with absolutely no taboos in humour….

#3 caught me off guard so bad I laughed for 5 minutes. I haven't laughed that hard in a long while. I love his longer setups, but it's the quick hits that get me the most. Your reaction was perfect as well.
When you realise that EVERYTHING HE MAKES FUN OF IS REAL !!! Then, you reach to the conclusion that he's not offensive at all. He just tells REAL stuff that happends every day to people, with people ! ... :-)
Amanda, Jimmy is a true comedy genius. He does what he does to make you go "eurggh". That is his angle, his onscreen persona. I noticed that some of his lines totally went over your head, maybe because you were not a native of the UK and did not understand the references or maybe becasue the American level of humour is a lot more literal. As a Brit who lives in America I notice that your greatest comedians on a cerebral level, where you have to actually think, are not as celebrated as your more in your face comedians.
He's a comedy genius. He takes you to the edge, then a little bit further, then pulls you back for more. He;s the edging specialist of the comedy world.
