Hey there! You know when you film a whole video and only when you go to edit it you realise your finger was bleeding? A bit annoying, but also a bit hilarious 😂 Hope it's not too distracting! Clearly Jimmy Carr was way too entertaining for me to notice!
Art should inspire thought. There are many ways of doing this, but disturbing comfort definitely is one. I wouldn't say it isn't art if it isn't disturbing, but if you try to cancel everything that is disturbing, you definitely cancel art.
What so many fail to understand is the difference between punching up and down in comedy. The detail is in understanding the difference between the subject of a joke and the object.
As an American, I can say most of the people I know and myself love this type of humor. It's just the loud obnoxious humorless ones who ruin it for everyone.
@michaelhawkins7389 I was never that keen on Frankie Boyle. I always thought he was just being controversial for the sake of it. What he said about poor Rebecca Adlington was just unforgivable. She can't help the way she looks bless her. He also made a few jibes at Gabby Logan too in one of Mock The Week episodes comparing her to a "transvestite" which was just unnecessary.
😊😊😊😊😊 Liking Jimmy is guilty pleasure ,you know you shouldn't laugh but you still have to, Jimmy's jokes are well thought out and constructed, he never seem to the cross the line to unacceptable , thanks for posting Megan ,❤❤.
WE have so many comic legend's across decades, from "Peter Sellars of the Goons" to "John Cleese from Monty Python and so many others. and now we have Jimmy Carr and of course Ricky Gervais. Legends that will still be making people laugh, long after them and I, are long dead.
The thing about Carr's jokes... he doesn't believe one bit about them, they are JUST jokes! He's very good at making jokes about subjects that would normaly trigger you... that's why he's so popular!
Megan Ruth laughing at rape and child abuse jokes. I think we’ve found her level! I would say “Stay Classy, Miss Megan!”, but I think that train has left the station ages ago…! 😂
You should not feel guilty for laughing at a joke. It's only non-offensive if it's a joke. By laughing, you confirm, it's a joke, therefore not offensive.
Yeah I think one of his Montreal gigs was the first video of his I watched. I'm an Australian carpenter and the guys down at my favourite tool shop recommended him to me to watch 😊
1st time I saw him he started a joke "do you know what I say to my gf when we're in bed together?" I shouted up to him "I always ask her what time is Jimmy coming home?". He laughed so hard he forgot to tell us his punchline.
Jimmy Carr has toured across Canada multiple times with many venues selling out. He's actually doing a Canadian tour this year and is playing Victoria BC October 26! He's awesome live, if you get a chance go and see him... He's worth it! Also, not sure why you'd say Canadians are more sensitive... Have you seen Canadian comedy?
I saw Jimmy in Cardiff and he said, if anyone want an autograph come see me after the show, ive also seen Rob Bryon, Joe Lycett and Dara o'brien and none of them did.
Thanks for laughing. The thing with jokes is that they're either good and make you laugh or they are not good and don't make you laugh. Jokes are only offensive as much as a person wants to feel offended.
It's a little more nuanced than that. What does Jimmy do that is different than some other offensive comedians that people have to work harder to defend?
If you like Jimmy's risky jokes, try reacting to some Frankie Boyle. Just as close to the edge as Jimmy (IIRC he actually used to write jokes for Jimmy). Both Frankie and Jimmy are also brilliant at dealing with hecklers and interacting with their audience in general.
Jimmy's a real one-off envelope pusher. Brilliant with hecklers too. I think he actually appeared on the US 'Tonight' show early in his career- can't recall Jay Leno or that other guy Dave something. Not with material this risqué though, and ergo, not as funny. He was great value on the panel show 'Quire Interesting' (QI), bouncing off Stephen Fry. You've gotta love how he fearlessly just 'goes there', but very self-aware.. Thanks for sharing, Megan.
Carr is a comedian that I admire for his ability to formulate a "set-up / punch" perfectly. It's just that I'm not a fan of the comedy sub-genre. I came up on Carlin, Pryor, Tomlin, and Whoopi. Robin was brilliant at the minimal prep with maximum improv, but he ended his sets with carefully built pieces designed to wring maximum emotional resonance from you when he'd brought you to his most vulnerable with his humour. Carr is a craftsman, just in an area that doesn't speak to me.
Things have changed in the UK too. Look at what happened to Reg D Hunter, just because the audience laughed at a couple of troublemakers after Reg told a fairly lukewarm joke.
Incredibly smart is Jimmy..even his wee jibe at ye laugh at what you laugh at...then go ooooooooh...very smart... I would encourage anyone to go watch him on Joe rogan...one of the all time best podcasts ever... He came across as a very smart man with really cool monologues of life tbh it was amazing.
@MeganRuth have you watched his shows? Hopefully if you are living in the UK London his accent can be understood, he tells a good story about living in the USA New York in the 1980s
Remember, people don't find things they agree with funny. Who makes jokes about a politician who they support wholeheartedly? So if you find rasist or sexists jokes hilarious it doesn't mean you agree with the attitude of people in the joke, quite the opposite. So don't feel bad for laughing
@@MeganRuth magan, I do apologise, I actually watched said post, must have watched it after I'd had a "few" drinks, stay happy, safe and healthy sweetheart ❤️
Did you really say Canucks are sensitive? 😂😂😂😂 Must be speaking about those from the french bit. As one American commentator on YT said, if you hear O Canada and smell maple Syrup in the air, the possibility of a War crime isn't far away. Last thing you need is an angry Canadian . sensitive..😂
I had a fart about in the comments and noticed someone doesn't seem to understand humour let alone dark humour. An American apparently no surprises there. Just a heads up, someone being offended by a joke doesn't mean it's not a joke and they make it worse for themselves because the person teling the joke doesn't have to give a fuck. Not a joke about sa but if i did joke about it they wouldn't just be hurt by it they'd be fucking crying about it. Apparently cry about it is an Americans way of saying fuck off if you don't agree or share the same opinion which seems contradictory to me. I was tempted to joke about both things they weren't happy about but i thought i better not, given the 911 situation they mentioned they wouldn't want to be blown up which is ironically yank slang for popularity. i'm saying people feeling sorry for them over some fucking jokes and either commenting or liking there comment they seem miserable enough as it is. I did hold back on what i was goin to say. Welcome to london
I actually want to know the answer to the Palestine joke as Palestine doesn't actually exist. I'm guessing it would just be Gaza and The West Bank? I'm guessing in the socialist downfall of the west and especially the UK, we probably recognise it these days too.
I was just telling my partner that the people who actually experienced 9/11 wouldn’t find it funny. I’m so sorry you had to experience that. I can’t imagine what you’ve been through. I’m glad you enjoy my content :)

In UK they are more sensitive/offended than in USA (about Canada, i do not know, too sensored media to get any real info to the world).
Shit happens lol. Funny reaction, Thank you.
@@KrK-ESTsays the Estonian. you don't know what you're talking about.
Hi
Not the first time a guy or woman stuck there finger up there and it came out covereed in blood! Your point?
I've always felt that any art should comfort the disturbed and disturb the comfortable. Step forward, Mr. Jimmy Carr.
A very interesting comment, I like it 🤣 I must be the 'And' 😜
Art should inspire thought. There are many ways of doing this, but disturbing comfort definitely is one.
I wouldn't say it isn't art if it isn't disturbing, but if you try to cancel everything that is disturbing, you definitely cancel art.

I like that.
Nice perspective…
Jimmy wasn't lying, he really does sit down after every gig and sign autographs.
And finger people.
Jimmy is hilarious. He can do dark jokes, but that's all they are, and most people get that and just laugh :)
As an American, I can say most of the people I know and myself love this type of humor. It's just the loud obnoxious humorless ones who ruin it for everyone.
Ah, Jimmy Carr, the master of dark humour and audience heckling comebacks!
along with Frankie Boyle who is even darker then James Carr but both are great.
@michaelhawkins7389 I was never that keen on Frankie Boyle. I always thought he was just being controversial for the sake of it. What he said about poor Rebecca Adlington was just unforgivable. She can't help the way she looks bless her. He also made a few jibes at Gabby Logan too in one of Mock The Week episodes comparing her to a "transvestite" which was just unnecessary.
American, I've followed Jimmy for years and one of my favorite jokes of all time is one of his

WE have so many comic legend's across decades, from "Peter Sellars of the Goons" to "John Cleese from Monty Python and so many others.
and now we have Jimmy Carr and of course Ricky Gervais. Legends that will still be making people laugh, long after them and I, are long dead.
Rickyes oscars gig is legendary. Only yhing peiple seen of the oscars in decades.
This is a light series ...of jokes . He can be a lot darker.
I think one of the darkest is his joke towards Pete Davidson at his dad during a roast. Holy hell, lol.
The thing about Carr's jokes...
he doesn't believe one bit about them, they are JUST jokes!
He's very good at making jokes about subjects that would normaly trigger you... that's why he's so popular!
I saw him perform in Saint John, New Brunswick. The whole place was laughing like crazy!
Megan Ruth laughing at rape and child abuse jokes. I think we’ve found her level! I would say “Stay Classy, Miss Megan!”, but I think that train has left the station ages ago…! 😂
Jimmy Carr slays in both Canada and the US. Especially when he's digging on the USA. We cannot get enough of it, tbh.
You should not feel guilty for laughing at a joke. It's only non-offensive if it's a joke. By laughing, you confirm, it's a joke, therefore not offensive.
Jimmy has performed in Canada , i think it was Montreal . It's on YT .
Yeah I think one of his Montreal gigs was the first video of his I watched. I'm an Australian carpenter and the guys down at my favourite tool shop recommended him to me to watch 😊
He's been playing Just for Laughs (Montreal) since his early career, since before he was famous in the UK! Now he does full North American tours!
1st time I saw him he started a joke "do you know what I say to my gf when we're in bed together?" I shouted up to him "I always ask her what time is Jimmy coming home?". He laughed so hard he forgot to tell us his punchline.

Megan, loved the reaction. Your laugh is contagious
I saw Jimmy in Cardiff and he said, if anyone want an autograph come see me after the show, ive also seen Rob Bryon, Joe Lycett and Dara o'brien and none of them did.
Some of that was at Just for Laughs in Montreal. Therefore we had a Canadian girl in England watching a British comedian in Canada. Life is weird.
Wow really?! I had no idea! That's hilarious 😂
You should freely laugh if you find any joke funny, because if you don't you are letting life defeat you.
Thanks for laughing. The thing with jokes is that they're either good and make you laugh or they are not good and don't make you laugh. Jokes are only offensive as much as a person wants to feel offended.
It's a little more nuanced than that. What does Jimmy do that is different than some other offensive comedians that people have to work harder to defend?
Passing note... Carr has played all across Canada and the US, the crowds have loved his quirky blunt sense of humour!
Checkout Carr at Montreal!
He does tone it down a little in the Canadian gigs I've seen. Still funny though.
If you like Jimmy's risky jokes, try reacting to some Frankie Boyle. Just as close to the edge as Jimmy (IIRC he actually used to write jokes for Jimmy). Both Frankie and Jimmy are also brilliant at dealing with hecklers and interacting with their audience in general.
Especially Frankie Boyles Audience Annihilation....those are great
You really should try Gary Delaney, or even his wife Sarah Millican x

Haha good old British shock humour, nothing is off limits. Jimmy get considerably worse than this. part 2 and 3 are pretty funny
What makes me uncomfortable is that I'm comfortable with all his jokes. If they touch a personal nerve with me it just makes them funnier! 🙃
Great chapter name 😂
Don’t feel guilty Jimmy said it in one of his jokes a laugh is a reflex you don’t consciously control what you laugh at.
For the American audience imagine Gary Glitter as a worse Bill Cosby!
Pretty much, except none of his victims were even close to being adults.
@giggitygiggity8391 hence the worse part!
At least Glitter didn't drug his victims
@@dcmastermindfirst9418 What an odd comment... One a rapist and a peodo. Why would anyone defend anything either did????
I've heard of Jimmy Carr he's such a funny 😁 bloke here in the UK 🇬🇧 🤣
jiggle jiggle
Jimmy’s not offensive just funny af.
You should try Gary Delaney most offensive jokes

The American equivalent to Jimmy Carr is Anthony Jeselnik, very similar jokes but Anthony is a little more deadpan delivery.
Things have changed in the UK too. Look at what happened to Reg D Hunter, just because the audience laughed at a couple of troublemakers after Reg told a fairly lukewarm joke.

with the paraplegic boy joke my mind when he said sex was bad I said no thats a lie it was wheely good
You should look up his mosquito joke! There is a top 20 of his jokes compilation and they are funny af!
Stop worrying about what others think you laugh at what you find funny. Carr just tells jokes. Some people choose to be offended.
Frankie Boyle used to write for Jimmy. Maybe he still does!
Frankie Boyle Audience Annihilation is the nature progression from here
@T.elegra.m.TheMeganRuth SCAMMER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jimmy Carr is popular in the States, too! I saw him live in San Francisco last December. His shows sold out.
Ohh lovely megan, not sure if you were ready for jimmy carr. But you laughed so much it was fine ❤
Yes I did! 😂
Gary Delaney wrote most of Jimmy's jokes.
Who’s Gary Deaney??
@@2rare2die100 Should have read Delaney. I've changed it now.
Jokes can’t be offensive coz they’re jokes!!
Right that's Jimmy Carr ticked off the list, now for some Jerry Sadowitz... 🤞
Ahem... Okay here we go. *Dark comedy is like a child with cancer it never gets old.*
😊💛
Surprised it took you this long to watch him. How did he do in the US? Should watch the roast or Rob Lowe
Look for Jerry Sadowitz.
❤
You ever watch Katherine Ryan? She's a Canadian living and working in England too. She's great.
No she's not. Women aren't funny.
She's pretty much the Amy schumer of the UK.
Frankie Boyle is also a must for the wannabe offended. His audience put downs are legendary. Jimmy Carr is actually quite nice by comparison.
He's now a diluted humour on the woke BBC!
@@GooGooMuck72yes. Frankie used to be good but he is now a full certified BBC bum boy.
What part of Canada are you from?
Try Mickey Flanagan
Already have! I have many Micky reactions up on my channel :)
@MeganRuth have you watched his shows? Hopefully if you are living in the UK London his accent can be understood, he tells a good story about living in the USA New York in the 1980s
Was it the finger that was bleeding?
Don't! It's comedy.
Remember, people don't find things they agree with funny. Who makes jokes about a politician who they support wholeheartedly? So if you find rasist or sexists jokes hilarious it doesn't mean you agree with the attitude of people in the joke, quite the opposite. So don't feel bad for laughing

Hey megan, what happened to the league of gentlemen?
I posted a new episode last week :)
@@MeganRuth magan, I do apologise, I actually watched said post, must have watched it after I'd had a "few" drinks, stay happy, safe and healthy sweetheart ❤️
I think you'd get a kick out of reacting to andrew dice clay at rodney dangerfield's and andrew dice clay poems
Try Tim vine comedian

"Feel guilty" for words ❓
Specially words that have been said to make people laugh, why?

Jimmy is funny, they're just jokes. He will be cancelled one day in this silly World.
you feel guilty because modern world want you to be. there is nothing wrong there :)
Don’t bother watching any of Jimmy’s US gigs. He had to dumb it down and the audiences are terrible. The Canada gigs are pretty good!
You remind me of Cobie Smulders. Any relation?
I've gotten that before! Not as far as I know :)
"Mass immigration is fantastic". - Jimmy Carr
His shows sell out in Canada and the US. Not everyone in those countries are such hypersensitive people.
I actually want to know the answer to the Palestine joke as Palestine doesn't actually exist. I'm guessing it would just be Gaza and The West Bank? I'm guessing in the socialist downfall of the west and especially the UK, we probably recognise it these days too.
How was any of that offensive? Try listening to George Carlin if you want offensive...
As one of the people who ran in to the flames on 911. No, it's not funny. it will never be funny. Neither will SA jokes. Love your content.
I was just telling my partner that the people who actually experienced 9/11 wouldn’t find it funny. I’m so sorry you had to experience that. I can’t imagine what you’ve been through.
I’m glad you enjoy my content :)
Everything can be funny, especially your lie about running into flames.
You survived didn’t you?
You are an odd person.
Literally firefighter comedy is dark one.
Same with police officers and Soldiers.
Don’t care if it’s offensive or not if it’s funny. This just isn’t funny. Don’t think I even cracked a smile. Mostly just dumb.
The least funny man on TV!
The funniest man on tv!
