AMERICANS: How do the Brits get away with offensive jokes?
BRITS: How are Americans allowed firearms?
You mean why.
@@fionagregory9147Nope, he meant how.
@@LastTryMedia How! theres a native american joke in there somewhere
@@LastTryMediaBecause here in the UK 🇬🇧 we know the difference between a joke and true hate. Its difficult to hate while laughing. These jokers are national treasures.
@@LairdJ56 I wasn't asking the question, I'm English, with a typically dark sense of humour. I don't think anyone is exempt from comedy.
How do they get away with these? It's because they're jokes, not serious statements... we don't tend to overreact so much in the UK or Australia.
then why did dankula get arrested for making his pug nazi salute
@@bigfrankfraser1391 because his name is Dankula...
@@bigfrankfraser1391 wasn't familiar with this man or story, so I had to look it up but I would agree that teaching a dog to perform a Nazi salute when you say "Do you wanna gas the Jews?" is grossly offensive and too far to be considered just a joke, I can't imagine many people defending such a radical thing or finding it funny.
@@VillianousKitty I bet he's not even a real Count.
@@sleepyfox8983 I agree it wasn't particularly funny, personally I find it offensive, but not grossly offensive. He wasn't allowed legal aid to defend himself as his girlfriend (future wife) had been left an inheritance, which had been specifically left in order for her to buy her first home. It was deemed he could use those funds to defend himself. Also because she was only his girlfriend and not his wife, the police could force her to give evidence against him in court. The law in question Section 127 of the Communication Act 2003 is ridiculous, as it's far too open to interpretation.
I love watching Americans react to British "Offensive" comedians 'cause usually their minds are blown because U.S. "offensive" comedians are extremely tame. The reason people like Jimmy aren't "cancelled" is that in the UK we recognise that a) there is a huge difference between something terrible and a JOKE about something terrible and b) we all know that Jimmy etc aren't actually like that in real life, they're just jokes. Intention and context are everything.
Oh yeah? Tell that to Count Dankula.
@summercoat yeah you really got him there. Slow clap
Yes, this is UK television after 9:00 pm., when children aren't supposed to be watching.
@@LairdJ56 he has a point. Jimmy is famous Count Dankula isnt
@@flawlesswill1987Every Chance Count Dankula is Funnier than Jimmy Carr!
I'm British and I have no problem with this level of comedic gold. 😅
I love the dark humor our country has. These were all hilarious and I'm not ashamed in the slightest that I laughed all along.
It's great isn't it, THERE IS NO LINE
Humour with a U in it.
It’s because we don’t get offended over silly nonsense.
Make the most of it, It will be all cancelled by the WOKE and the moving "Offended" crowd.
@@norwoodboy6048 Political correctness is fascism pretending to be good manners - George Carlin.
I laughed more at your reaction to 'Uncle that touched me' when he said 'oh, yes that's right, you used to work for the church' as if you really thought that was so bad. We're not as manically Praise the Lord religious as lots of Americans seem to be, and there has been lots of historical abuse by Catholic priests and cruelty by nuns in children's homes.
C of E as well don’t forget.
Most religious institutions have been implicated tbh. A global pandemic of institutional abuse. Respect comics who call it out for what it is
That's because we exported our religious zealots on The Mayflower and sent them over there.
My kind of humour. Is church jokes really that bad?!
@@thehamster2301 And they´ve got just about the biggest murder/ homicide rate in the world & think they´re good Christians!! Which commandment is ´Thou shalt not kill´? Hypocrites!!
What can I say, us brits have an acquired taste when it comes to comedy 😅
I love the pure brutality of Frankie Boyle and how Jimmy Carr tells a dark joke in layers, gradually getting worse.
You say the 9/11 jokes aren’t funny, it’s the same level as when they made jokes about the Queen dying. Difference is, we left it a decent amount of time before dropping the jokes, where as jokes about the Queen were going around while she was still on her death bed 🙄
A decent amount of time, as in.... how quick someone is to think of the joke. Usually no longer than the day after. 😂😂😂😂
If you say so ShinobiVIPER. In all fairness 9/11 didn’t take almost 100 years. She was a person, not a building full of people. Sure there should've been time for public mourning, and private grieving. I did notice some tasteless jokes about her sleeping with Snoop Dogg after her husband Duke Philip passed. Honestly though… you shouldn’t care about what Americans say about your leaders… because you guys have only had 3-4 rulers in the past 100 years… how many have we had?? The Queen was loved by people all over the world, and not just in the United Kingdom. She accomplished more in her reign than Charles will… or is that too soon?
I'm not so into Frankie but absolutley love Jimmy but I'm an Aussie and love the UK sense of humor especially the sarcasm.
I'm American and I love y'all's humor ,I've been watching Graham Norton Johnathan Ross shows for years ,I love Jimmy Carr and Ricky Gervais,😊
I love the fact that you thought Franky Boyle was the entry level of British comedy 😂🤣😂 how wrong can you be. Bless 😂❤️
Cancel culture is such a weird concept. It's born out of the USA, a country that prides itself on its "freedom of speech." Meanwhile in the UK, where there is no law on freedom of speech, jokes like this are part of mainstream culture 🤷
'No law on freedom of speech'.......like someone else pointed out, tell that to Count Dankula
@@Kazza_8240 Well there's freedom of expression which is similar but not exactly the same.
@@Kazza_8240 I think it's probably more accurate that we don't have a legal right to free speech. Which is why we are able to deal with hate speech through the law.
I always find it interesting that speech seems to be freer in the UK, without a formalised right to freedom of speech, than the US which has built it into their codified constitution.
We're also more secular even though the Church and State are literally entwined with the Head of State also being the Head of the Church and the Upper House of the legislature being called "The Right Honourable the Lords Spiritual and Temporal of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland in Parliament assembled." and having Bishops and other spiritual leaders as a specific group of those people who are in it.
It's almost like writing something down doesn't make it true, but that the actions you take are the important thing. 😉 😁
Cancel culture has been a tool of the Communists and Fascists for over a century. Cancelling, Denouncement, False Accusations, Show Trials etc etc.
Freedom under the law doesn't mean you're immune to social consequences. Americans have just become babies in the past 20 years
OMG I love our British comedians. Jimmy will never get cancelled, he's a national treasure. I've seen him live and he's a great guy.
Cheated on his taxes? That's just more jokes. Jimmy's the best.
@@Pchlster he did get done fot tax dodging but who cares ah?!
@@louisegreenaway6365 tax dodging is a must if you want to make it into the big leagues. All that separates him from the high class in the UK is that he only makes jokes about racism, chauvinism and sexual deviance in stead of actually doing it.
He's great had him take the piss out of me and my mum at one of his gigs as he walked off stage at the end he nodded and smiled at us if to say thanks for being great sports
@@andrewcoates1998 I love that :)
My favourite offensive joke:
A man and a little girl walk into some gloomy woods on one dark night, and the little girl starts crying because she was scared, so the man says to her, “I don’t know why you’re so scared.... you haven’t got to find your way out on your own.”
Oh jfc that's dark 😅
Ats an old one but a good one. 😁
One of the best things about the uk is our dark humour, it’s a coping mechanism for dealing with trauma and how scary life can be.
I've met Jimmy Carr a few times through work and he is actually one of the nicest, most respectful guys you could want to meet. He's great live and knows how to work an audience x
Oh I bet he does 😏
He is great live
Knows how to work a tax loophole too 😉😂
I can attest to this
@Princess Pie of Piedonia who wouldn't do what Jimmy did? No one likes paying tax.
The fact that you have to stand up for some of the jokes just shows how much less is allowed in the USA. I love UK comedians specifically bc they can be creative and beyond the binds of "it will hurt my fragile feelings".
Yeah I don't know how American comedians do it. They either have the choice of being totally pc and not funny at all or going full on Chapelle and risk the death threats. Uk and Irish comedians have total freedom to say whatever the hell they like with no backlash (almost none, there is always one grumpy granny out there) and are generally much funnier because of it. The thing is because they have such freedom and ppl here are far less sensitive they don't have to overdo it either, but it also means when the Franky Boyles come along they are just totally accepted.
@@ASavageEye Totally untrue. The American comedians push the boundaries far more than UK comedians now. These clips are 15 years old. These same shows are so bland now.
@@NTL578 I didnt say American comedians dont push the boundaries so how about you read my comment again before telling me I am wrong. I said they have a choice of being pc or going full Chapelle and that is the truth of the matter. I love a lot of American comedians.
As for these shows being bland now well thats just not true at all. All these shows end up with 2 cuts. One for the early showings and the full cut for the later showings. The full cuts are every bit as bad as the old episodes with the likes of Franky Boyle in them. The one problem these shows DO have today is they have a lot of the newer female comedians in them who are just NOT funny. The shows are being forced to have their "ratio" in order and its ruining things. An all female episode of QI last year had the lowest rating of any episode EVER and even Sandy Toksvig said it was a bad episode. Older female comedians like Gina Yashere used to hold their own with the men no problem but the new ones are just woke cowards afraid to offend anyone. So I suppose your not totally wrong but they are still in no way "bland"
@@ASavageEye Good comment. I agree with some of it. Certainly your assessment of the American comedians. But from what I see here, there are no Chapelle’s willing to get cancelled and they certainly wouldn’t get shown on TV here. Maybe the American Netflix would give them a chance, but I can’t think of any? Maybe Jimmy Carr still? I agree on the female comedian statement I don’t think much more needs to be said on that. When you say there are 2 cuts, I presume you mean that the more offensive one doesn’t get shown and the other one does ? If so I think proves the point really.
Just going off the top of my head without forensically examining the video. There is NO WAY, the Mecca joke would be broadcast now, and even the Tim Minchin Kylie joke (which was the only one that wasn’t funny, no set up, no cleverness, just ‘haha she can’t have kids’) would be met with widespread indignation about, ‘What about Caroline Flack’ etc. To be honest, the really just unfunny personal attacks that were a bit more common 20 years ago are the only thing I don’t mind being toned down. Because they were usually just from a place of ‘haha, they’re thick’. Haha they’re a scumbag, that’s working class, compare to us middle class comedians on the panel etc’
My overall point is these typical comments on all these types of British humour videos of ‘Oh yeah, we just don’t care here, you can say what you want. Especially compared to America.’ When I think the reality is, 15 - 20 years ago we could say more than them, but now I think at least they have the Chapelle ‘s etc. Who do we have? American comedians used to come here because they felt more free to perform here, but that is certainly not the case anymore. Social media has changed our culture more than any other country on earth, including the US.
I also agree that female comedians arent funny. I have never laughed at a 'joke' that theyve ever said.
I also agree that social media is ruining the freedom of expression that the UK has. One joke made that these weak ppl cant hack and it goes viral by other triggered weak people who feel the need to shout out just cos they cant take a joke.
However it is, the Beeb is now just a woke channel, if you want anything done, go to Channel 4 as they put it out there with shows like naked attraction (find a date based by what they look like nude) etc.
I used to work at a theatre where Jimmy Carr did a gig. Met him when he was there. Lovely bloke. No stupid requests, didn't even use the stage door/hidden entrance. Walked in through the main door asked the box office staff where to go. Really nice guy.
Hang in there buddy! British humour can be down right brutal, u have to remember with comedians it's either all ok to take the piss out off or nothing is. I love how u are exploring the British culture like this, I found ur channels recently and am now binge watching everything u have to offer. Loving the content keep it coming.
Jimmy Carr's classic "filthy" joke is "How do you get a gay man to fuck a woman? Put some shit in her cunt!" Possibly the filthiest joke ever shown on TH-cam.
11:55 The program is Mock the Week. The last round was always 'Scenes We'd like to See'. Frankie was in the first 8 series, and left after his gags were deemed too offensive for the program. Well worth looking at some of the 'Scenes we'd like to see' vids out there, especially from the early series with Frankie.
There's a full 1 hour compilation of Frankie's SWLTS on here, it's ferocious. I think my favourite and possibly one of the most underrated jokes was from when they were asked for 'Lines you wouldn't see in the new Harry Potter book', and Frankie steps in with: "After finishing in the cafeteria, Harry and Ron went to library and turned their wands on themselves."
Frankie Boyle was not fired, he just left because he wanted to do other things.
Mock the weeks final series starts this week.
@@Neil_Hyman He left because he didn't like how much the show changed it's focus from what he deemed to be important news, to more trivial stuff, like the Olympics.
a once great show that was ruined by the woke and box tickers
If you haven’t heard of Tim Minchin, you definitely need to check him out. “Prejudice” is a good one to start off with for a reaction video.
"Storm", "Happy feet" and "I love Jesus" are also brilliant!
Was going to say the same. They are all great
Yes definitely has ro react to Tim Minchin the guy is super talented whether that's playing the piano to perfection, the way he writes his jokes or his ability to tell them in his unique way!
My favourite Tim Minchin is "Thank You God"... but you might not like that one if you're a religious person.
But yeah, "Prejudice" is great, and "Inflatable You" is hilarious too.
Ahhhh can't believe Tim Minchen made on this TWICE! He's a lovely snuggle bunny, even when he calls God a cunt in Thank You God. He does it in a lovely snuggle bunny sort of way.
“These Jokes couldn’t pass in 2022” Well they do if you’re in the right friend group and you’re not living in America😂
It's satire, we Brits are famous for it. 😂
It's sarcasm and cynicism, but you're right, it seems to flow naturally. I think Aussies are the only ones that enjoy British humour with the same understanding.
When you're asking about Frankie vs. Jimmy, Frankie used to be one of Jimmy's writers for stuff like panel shows. Frankies set is basically the stuff Jimmy thought was going too far
And now he goes after Ricky gervais
And now Frankie's a hypocrite
The party joke with Madeleine is about a very mediatic story on the disappearance of a young girl called Madeleine McCann. Her parents left her alone in the vacation house and went out to dinner with friends that were also on vacation. When they got back home, their daughter wasn't there. There's all kinds of speculation regarding this case, including a theory that she died of some accident caused by her parents (both doctors i think) and then covered it up. Still to this day nobody knows what happened to the girl.
The joke about "looking after Madeline McCanne" is a story that was well publicised in Europe, because the McCanne parents left their 2 year old daughter (Madeline) in a crib on her own during the night, so that they could go out with mates for a few drinks/food etc. When the parents returned later that night, they discovered that Madeline had been kidnapped but a lot of people reckon that she was killed by the parents and the kidnapping story was the best way to cover up the murder.
Incidentally the last joke in that compilation nearly did get Frankie "cancelled". There was something of a media firestorm after the tabloids jumped on it and (iirc) Frankie was fired from being a panelist on Mock the Week (the show you asked about) by the BBC because of it. He was almost banned from all UK TV for a while, despite being one of the most grounded and level headed blokes out there when he's not in comedy mode
Also Jordan (aka Katie Price) and Peter Andre sued him, and Channel 4 (the channel that broadcast the show) Tramadol Nights, he also got sued by British Olympic Swimmer Rebecca Adlington for the joke he made about her on the same show. Subsequently the show Tramadol Nights was axed but not because of the controversy but because it was one of the fewest watched series in Channel 4 history. Frankie did eventually offer a somewhat muted apology to all involved, but yes he was axed from Mock the Week, and tv in general, but then came back, firstly in a documentary type program about himself and how he got to where he was, then more recently more stand up shows where he was back to his original best.
The Madeline joke was a reference to a little girl who went missing in Portugal while on holiday while her parents and the other adults in their group were at dinner. It was absolutely HUGE when it happened and every now and then there's a resurgence of "Maddie" headlines and case "breakthroughs" that circulate for a couple of weeks before it dies down. It would be very difficult to find anyone in the UK over the age of 20 who doesn't know the story.
Popular opinion is a 50/50 split on whether her parents did it or not.
Wanna drug madeline and go eat some tapas, for sure dude😂
She was sold to the Podesta brothers Steve and John
They left her asleep alone in the hotel room while they went for drinks
Christian Brueckner did it
50/50 that’s better odds than I would have given them.
When it comes to all levels of humour, the Brits come second to no-one.
And for most of the planet these jokes still won't get anyone cancelled. Mostly just the country that's always screaming about free speech. Fucking hilarious
The guy took like 100 years before showing the jokes 😂😂😂
The thing with cancel culture is that we had it back in the 60's/70's led by Mary Whitehouse. She, at one time lived not that far from the town I am from. The local council used to get so many complains from her they got fed up with it, and started to review everything she objected to. And most of the time it was "well it's not that bad, I've seen worse in real live", then let the film or show go on in the town. It end up with people coming from all over the place to watch or rent films, because they could not see them else where. In the end she moved.
But in the end, the majority of people got fed up with her and what she stood for and just ignored it, so you could say that cancel culture, got canceled in the UK 40 years ago. We learnt that if we do not like something, we turn it off or just don't watch it.
I saw Jimmy Carr last year. He had to warn the audience a good 5 times before the show started that it would be offensive. He was terrible and hilarious at the same time.
U thought Frankie was going to be entry level? 😂😂😂 The guy is the pinnacle of dark humour
Jimmy will never be cancelled, he's amazing and don't give a fuck, love you Jimmy
Mate your reactions are priceless 🤣 its so obvious you're not from the UK, you can almost hear your brain trying to work out how to process the information you just gave it and if you heard right 🤣 loving your channel and spreading the word 👍
Frankie Boyle actually used to write lots of Jimmy’s material before Frankie became a comedian in his own right so there’s a good chance that some of jimmy’s jokes in this video were actually written by Frankie
I did not know that Frankie had been a writer for Jimmy Carr. That explains so much!
Jimmy Carr is just something else 🤣🤣🤣.
What do you call an Orphan taking a selfie?
A family photo
Tim Minchin is also Australian. His video called Prejudice is hilarious!
That is a one hell of a song.
Jimmy has too big a following who appreciate JOKES to be cancelled. Most people understand their is a difference between joking about something and actually doing it. The great George Carlin said "I believe you can joke about anything.
It all depends on how you construct the joke. What the exaggeration is. What the exaggeration is.
Because every joke needs one exaggeration. Every joke needs one thing to be way out of proportion."
Even as you kinda reference Chappelle, He wasn't cancelled, his special is still on Netflix, and sure some snowflakes got bent out of shape, my opinion on that is if you are struggling for equality then learn how to take a joke, nothing makes you more equal than being treated the same as any other person, you shouldn't have to censor yourself on stage because you might offend someone's sexual identity, or race, or gender. F those people, don't buy a ticket or watch the show. The irony is the ones offended were happy to watch thinking Dave is going to make jokes about people of colour, but as soon as it turns to them, cancel the dude!
Jimmy care won’t get cancelled. He’s like Ricky Gervais and Frankie Boyle. You have to care what the vocal minority think to be cancelled. And his audience knows exactly what they are getting when they go to his shows. British humour understands that tongues are firmly in cheeks with these jokes
I just love that Jimmy Carr's most recent special on Netflix went even harder. And he just sold out every show in Oz in a recent tour. It's because we UNDERSTAND humour. And you can laugh at dark things. It feels GOOD to do so. When it's a comment on societal issues-not what that person actually believes.
And I absolutely love your channel, thank you so much! I watch it when I'm feeling down and you always give me some faith in humanity that people like you and Anna exist 😊
They didn't even have Frankie's best offensive joke. The other comments have educated you on the case of Madeleine McCann. There was another little girl called Shannon Matthews and (spoiler alert) her mother faked her disappearance inorder to scam money from the public and also tried to get some of the Madeleine McCann fund. Eventually she was found by police in a drawer under her mother's boyfriends bed and both were arrested. Frankie's take on this was: "I see they found that wee lassie Shannon Matthews. It just goes to show what I always say, the ugly ones always turn up alive. He'll have definitely reached a point where he tried to stick a Madeleine McCann mask on her!"
I heard another one of Frankie Boyle’s (I think) that said Josef Fritzl (who locked his daughter in his cellar for 20 years and routinely raped her, having kids with her, and the wife had no idea) got community service for his crimes, teaching the McCanns how to lock a fucking door.
10:30 Jimmy Carr actually just has released a Netflix special this year. Its got loads of savage jokes in it.
Including the almost career ending one!
Was the back end of last year (Christmas Day i think), & yes they tried to cancel him a few months later lol
He literally mentioned that earlier in the video
I'm loving your reaction to these. This humour is mild British humour for tv.. you really want to go for a pint with the lads! 😂
In UK/AUS taking the piss out of someone is a symbol of friendship. If it's a close friend then you call them a c**t.
7:56 The joke frankie made about madeleine, is referring to a 3yo girl who disappeared in Portugal in 2007 under very questionable circumstances and was never found, it was a major case across the UK and parts of Europe.
As a briton when he went silent i started laughing
Britain is a little crucible trying to find the dirtiest joke
The dinner party joke was a reference to a British child going missing while her parents ate dinner on holiday, she was called Madeline Mcann.
No no no no no - being cancelled on Netflix is NOT the same as being cancelled from history. There is an entire OTHER world out there beyond America - and we know when something is a joke.
7:55 the Madeline joke that you didn't get is referring to Madeleine McCann a 3 year old child who went missing from a holiday apartment in Portugal while her parents were having dinner at a nearby restaurant.
I mean, they probably worked up an appetite burying her body.
@@bmyattuk You know an anagram of Maddie is Im Dead
Frankie jokes about that, something which could cause genuine grief to her family members, but was offended by Ricky Gervais for a trans joke. Frankie is a POS and waste of oxygen. I will smile when he clocks it. 💀
@@bmyattuk wrong! Funny, but wrong!
Replying to your comment hoping it makes The Algorithm push it a bit higher so JT will see it.
Hahahahahaha Hahahahahaha 🤣🤣🤣🤣
The American thought Frankie Boyle was "entry level".
That's almost funnier than his jokes.
Jimmy Carr is my favourite. I'm going to see him live in July. He's not afraid to push boundaries but you should see him react to heckles... he's so quick with his responses.
early 00's British comedy is wild, so much savagery
Jim Jeffries is well worth a watch, particularly the story about his mate with MS. You'd also enjoy his commentary on gun control. For Tim Minchin try "Preduice" " the Pope song" and /or "lullaby "
Agreed. The mate with MS story is not only hilarious but also sweet and touching.
I also think you should watch Jim Jefferies gun control
The Madeline joke is a reference to 4 year old British missing child Madeline mcccann - she and her 2 year old twin siblings were left in a holiday flat in Praia Del Luz in Portugal whilst the parents went for dinner at a restaurant round the corner
After getting home, they found her gone but the other 2 asleep
They then proceeded to whip up a Europe wide media storm searching for her whilst simultaneously refusing to accept any responsibility for leavinf her alone
This happened in 2007, IF she is still alive then she'd be 20 but was declared officially dead in 2020
Its a particularly bad taste joke for its era but as time goes on it tends to age well as less people really remember
British comedy tends to work on Gallows Humour
A good rule of thumb dont attack someone who cant defend themselves and leave at least 2 years between a tragedy and the first joke and you can probably get away with most things that and always read the room
What finished Frankie Boyle for a while was a set of jokes mocking Jordan's disabled son Harvey
Mocking Jordan... fine... shes an adult, mocking her son who has the mental age of a toddler... people tend to draw their own lines there..
Of course this subjective; as in the case of the mccans the joke's aimed more at their poor decisions than at the child herself...
I remember watching that Jade Goodey joke by Frankie Boyle with my parents. I was in fits of laughter and my parents were so angry, at not only the joke, but also mad at me for laughing. Don't get me wrong I totally get why they were mad but I refuse to apologise for laughing.
Jade goody was as annoying as Jordan still is and any time i see the jokes about either i pmsl. They both asked to be celebs and they hated it when ever they had bad press but thats what comes with being a celeb. And the more notable you become the more likely someone is going to make jokes about you. Hell CRIII has been king for 4 days and i most of heard 400 jokes about him being king already. Its part and parcel of a free society
It's not a joke it's very bad Frankie Boyle is a nasty comic
@@mukbangznmore2684 He's moved on, and I'd suggest the audiences are the problem, as many are all mad that he's gone woke, because now he aims his vitriol at deserving targets, like Tory MPs and billionaires, instead of disabled kids. And right wingers who loved seeing disabled people mocked don't like him any more.
That's the beautiful thing about British comedy, yes some of it is appalling but, it's all in good faith, the ability to laugh at ourselves, comedy is a freedom that should be cherished and if you get genuinely offended (cancel culture and all that) by tongue in cheek remarks, then you need to take a deep look inwardly at yourself. With Jimmy Carr especially yes, he does a bit called 'career ending jokes', but people ridiculed him when his Taxes were made public, and he absolutely owned it, because it was peoples right to make fun of him for it.
As offensive as these jokes are, most of these guys have careers of over a decade long, built on these jokes. A testament to their comedic skills, and the people's desire to find some light, some humor, in even the darkest of places.
I don't think the "used to work for the church" joke is all that wrong, given the amount of child abuse carried out by priests.
Frankie and jimmy are as subtle as a well aimed housebrick😂 love em
Let me tell you all something in the UK we have the dark and great sence of humour and these jokes would never be cancelled because we all know they are just jokes and we aren't America either who do try to cancel everything,
Let them cancel themselves, just don't bring me that bullshit to the UK bruv. Bunch of twats and no more
the harvey joke got taken off the dvd, it did hit the hewdlines and many were outraged including special needs groups
Well your talking bullshit because they've already cancelled Roy chubby brown form doing his shows and they've tried cancelling Jimmy Carr for a joke on his Netflix show and.there trying to cancel a load more comedians for jokes made 20/30 years ago
Unfortunately cancel culture has made its way to the UK. The main difference though is that British people generally don't take it seriously.
@@petergilmartin2906 isn't Netflix an American company?
You look so uncomfortable watching this..😂😂 priceless 😂
Jimmy did have a Netflix special come out recently called His Dark Materials, where he went hard. Some tried to cancel him over a gypsy joke, but that didn't make any major changes to anything.
First Jimmy show I got bored during. Never even got to the gypsy joke. Some of the camera angles were bloody irritating too
The ‘Madeline’ joke was about a 4yr old child that was taken from the holiday villa while the parents of several children were having dinner together away from the villa, she’s still missing at least a decade later.
the parents did it, i mean the more you look at it, the more obvious it is
@@bigfrankfraser1391 No, it’s not. But each to their own assumptions and all that.
A sad sorry
@@bigfrankfraser1391 I don’t think they killed her but they were to blame, they were lucky that all three weren’t taken. At the least, they should have been arrested for child endangerment and the twins should have been removed from their care.
@@iio58 even if they didn't, their neglect led to her disappearance...
The joke you didn't understand was about a little British girl that went missing in Portugal while the parents were out at a "dinner party"
Madeleine McCann (RIP)
@@juliuscaesar8163 she's not dead, she's alive and well.
I bought her in Praia de Luiz in 2008.
Funny that. "these jokes can not pass 2022". Eight months later, they're just as funny and still performing.
British comedy rules.
I love the fact that Jimmy is actually worse than Frankie but because he says his jokes in such a polite Middle England accent he gets away with it
Loved them all!! We have the funniest sense of humour in the worst way! 🤣
Love how your phone knows how to tell the date but 365 million Americans can't say it right.
Jimmy told some of his darkest material on that newest special. He’s like Frankie, he doesn’t give a fuck about cancel culture.
Roy Chubby Brown is so offensive that he is not allowed on TV. his older stuff is the best, npthing is safe from him
Isn't his humour old fashioned af, like all 'my mother in law...' jokes?
It's not to the same degree but I'd love to see you react to the late, great Sean Lock on 8 out of 10 cats does Countdown; his humour just lands so well and even though he's gone I found comfort in his comedy, I'd be curious to see your thoughts regarding him 🙂
Not enough of his shows, he was one of my very favourites ever
Sean lock was awesome
Saw Sean on his Purple Van Man tour a few years ago 😍 He was absolutely fantastic! 😂😂 Such a loss to comedy.
Just wanted to say thank you guys for these beautiful responses 🥰 I swear even on videos of Lock's comedy, the universal response is so warm, respectful, kind. He really did have such an amazing impact and every reply reminds me how much this man was loved 🙂
@@namethestars I was so sorry to hear of his passing. He had such a talent. I think his brand of comedy is sadly missed by many ♥️
I laughed hardest when you showed the date, IDK why that got me so good but it did
As a English man from london, I just love seeing what the rest of the world things of us.
Please do a reaction to “mock the week”. It’s basically all tense comedians telling offensive jokes and making things up on the spot
it's now past its sell by date, full of unfunny quota hires
Except the scripted jokes 😎
Ha, it was highly entertaining watching your reaction. You obviously didn't realise how robust a sense of humour us Brits have got. And this is from television, imagine how much more hardcore their live shows are.
I saw Russell Brand's live stand-up set not long ago. He was so hilarious I missed some of it through laughing so much. And blue? I should say so, absolutely filthy at times but always funny af.
All countries have a robust sense of humor, it's the politicians and religious zealots that have the stick up their ass. Damn do gooder activists ruin it for the regular people.
Man, I'm glad I grew up with Carlin, Pryor, Williams, etc. And enjoyed them all with other people that could take a joke
Bro said Boyle was entry level 😂😂 no no no no my friend
You should watch Jim Jefferies on American gun culture, it's brilliant, unless you're American and love guns lol
go to any pub in the UK and you will hear groups of friends saying way worse things than these to each other.
the most offensive joke I've ever heard/seen is frankie boyles Michael Jackson children's hospital.. you feel guilty for laughing but will
You are such a sweetheart god bless you…. You look genuinely shocked 😂this is our normal comedy content and I am proud to be 🇬🇧
Loving the reactions, JT. You asked where Frankie’s level is. He ain’t got no level, bro. 😂
🤣 the entry level for offensive jokes in the UK, are the people of the UK! Offensive jokes and taking the piss out of each other is how we grow up 👍 remember, offensive jokes are not big or clever.... neither is a dwarf with learning difficulties 🤣
Ye spel proplee ya ikle shit!!
I'm from Glasgow, which is Frankie's testing ground for the jokes in these shows. You should hear the ones that don't make the cut.
He's just done a new show at the fringe, so you have that to look forward to. Also Jimmy Carr did do a Netflix special this year.
I'm still so bitter that my spontaneous London holiday ended two weeks before his run in the Leicester Square theatre started.
I desperately tried saving up for a mini trip but with the economy...
And getting anywhere NEAR Edinburgh in August without booking months in advance? Big fucking lol😭
Ah well, I hope ch4 will have the balls to release the documentary about the royals he did AND the latest series of new World order before it gets all privat...before we all get arrested
His work in progress at The Stand leaves me in physical pain from laughing
the world trade centre joke really got you :D haha
Ricky Gervais and Jimmy Carr are titans of offensive *jokes* and have made a name for themselves by being outlandish 😂
Love our British comedians.
I recently seen Chris rock live and he started off by saying ‘everyone gets offended these days’ me and the stranger next me both said at the same time ‘not in the UK we don’t’. We English have the best humour.
I also saw him last year, at the Royal Albert Hall. To be honest, I felt he great even though he was a bit tame most of the time, but the person that put me off was his warm-up act. Supposedly an experienced comedian from Saturday Night Live, he made really intrusive, repeated jokes, about a couple, including racial jokes about physiological aspects about a group of work colleagues that in my view could have damaged the relationship between the friends, and among the group of work colleagues. I'm no sensitive wallflower and I love Frankie Boyle's and Jimmy Carr's extreme humour, including when he picks on individuals - but there's a line that they don't cross, and this guy crossed it and ended up leaving with me an uncomfortable taste in my mouth afterwards. I think that even Frankie Boyle and Jimmy car want their targets of jokes to be able to enjoy the joke without feeling persecuted, and I felt this guy would have left some of his targets feeling uncomfortable about the jokes he made.
Firstly the Hammond car insurance joke is a reference to his car crash at 300mph. Secondly when Frankie Boyle says “who’s looking after Madeline?” That’s about Maddy Macain (worlds greatest hide and seek player). And lastly the show is “Mock the week”. It’s like a news quiz-comedy. 👍🏻👍🏻
Worlds greatest hide and seek player… I’m going to hell for cracking up at that 😂😂😂
The thing I love about this is UK don’t tend to get offended by jokes like these because it’s actually part of our culture. Half the jokes here are only seen offensive outside of the uk because they don’t understand British humour.
I'm a Swede and I feel the same way.
See, you Americans all think you have free speech until you watch a couple of British comedians and spend the whole time saying “they can’t say that!”
Well this shows the true jokes we have in the UK. Good side note if you anyone ever comes too the UK make sure you can take offensive jokes well as they are pretty common, also maybe brush up your skill in knowing what is a joke and what isn’t as most of the offensive jokes for example usually have someone voice change quite often as that’s usually when you will notice someone is about too say a offensive joke
that's the biggest load of bs I have ever heard
@@AlainnCorcaigh how so as I do see them very often and I noticed change of voice tone when I noticed a offensive joke is about too be said
You hear people talking like this on the train or in the pub - so it's fairly normal to be honest.
Depends on the person telling it really, here in the UK our special move is sarcasm and our super dry sense of humour which most people don't get at first because they don't know if its a joke or if we're being serious 🤣
American women don't brush up on knowledge, they're too busy brushing up on English dinner sausage cause they're bored of American breakfast sausage >: ]
Jimmy and Frankie are the end level bosses of offensive jokes 👍
Jimmy will never be cancelled in this country, he's joking and he's funny!! English comedy is dark, it's what we do.
Your reactions make me laugh I literally laugh in my head to these jokes while eating a bowl of popcorn
Jimmy Carr is an amazing human, comedy aside his philosophy of life is a thing of beauty.
Like dodging tax wish I could do that
@@fasttrack70 what he did was completely legal though. Watch the Diary of a CEO with Steven Bartlett episode with him in it. He's great.
Omg the Tim Minchin and Jim Jeffrey’s clips he ran away from were so mild for them! 😂😂😂😂😂😂 So glad I live in a country with a sense of humor. .Comedy does enemy taboos are enforced
The word joke derived from the word jest which came from the medieval ages of the Jester…
There used to be very few people in a court who could speak or criticize any act of the court especially if it was directed against the lord or the king of the court.
The jester was one such person who could freely speak without worrying about the consequences.
Jesters were not afraid of causing offense by telling what they thought.
They often used humor to jibe, mock and joke about the lords, ladies, and other members of the nobility of the court.
Usually, jesters were well educated and they used to come from a wide variety of backgrounds.
The darker/offensive the joke/jest is… highlights the truth of what has happened and is happening in our world today…
I think the difference is we have the ability to laugh at ourselves and not take life too seriously.
Took me half hour to watch this due to having to rewind the video because I were laughing too hard at the previous jokes 😆
I've seen Jimmy and Fanky live twice years ago here in Scotland. Absolutely hilarious. The stage shows are even more offensive - we have a different sense of humour like Australia. The show that reminds you of who's line is it anyway is called Mock the Week. It is a satirical comedy show on all the latest headlines over the last couple of weeks.
