Guest tbio2007 Posted October 27, 2009 Posted October 27, 2009 "Say what you like about servicemen amputees from Iraq and Afghanistan, but we're going to have a f-----g good Paralympic team in 2012."
Guest Gary C Posted October 27, 2009 Posted October 27, 2009 Not really... Not in any sensitive way, it's just still not funny.
Guest Dirty Protest Posted October 27, 2009 Posted October 27, 2009 I thought it was quite complementary to the soldiers. I go on a football forum and alot of the mongers in there are ready for linching him.
Guest abusivegeorge Posted October 27, 2009 Posted October 27, 2009 You had to be there to really experience it, my friend went and recorded some of it he showed me the clip, it was fucking hilarious, you ahve to see the clip, it's not funny like this at all. Equally annoying is that people have qouted the joke and moaned about it, but what they haven't said is that this joke was told to certain members of the audience, whom he spoke to directly with eye contact and they were a group servicemen amputess who served in Iraq, and they found it fucking hilarious.
Guest Franklin Posted October 27, 2009 Posted October 27, 2009 i like the blow dryer bit in that video over yonder ^ never heard of this guy
OneToThirtySix Posted October 27, 2009 Posted October 27, 2009 "Say what you like about servicemen amputees from Iraq and Afghanistan, but we're going to have a f-----g good Paralympic team in 2012." I'm on the fence with this one; I don't know what former military amputees do, but I doubt they go straight to the Paralympics. I see where the joke is, but there's a definite logic flaw in it's execution. I've heard better.

Guest Dirty Protest Posted October 27, 2009 Posted October 27, 2009 Does appreciation of Jimmy Carr always come after loss of a limb?
Blir Posted October 27, 2009 Posted October 27, 2009 Does appreciation of Jimmy Carr always come after loss of a limb? Yes. For instance, if I lost my head I'd find him funny.
Guest Gump Posted October 28, 2009 Posted October 28, 2009 (edited) my sister and brother in law were at this gig/concert/what ever the fuck you call a live comedien show pfffffttt to me it is not funny at all because he is trying to get laughs for being close to the edge, just like gervais tried to copy - just like bill hicks did well and just jerry sadowitz did. it has all been done before. thing was - jerry sadowitz got banned from t.v for it years ago and bill hicks died. if you think carr is crazy for being close to the edge then go see jerry sadowitz carr is a public school twat and doesn't do the thing well at all and places said 'jokes' very badly total and utter non story. side hair carr muist fucking burn. as for the top 100 comedy a quote i found to be very true According to The 100 Greatest Stand-Ups on Channel 4 last night, Harry Hill is a funnier man than Bill Hicks was. Well I never. I'd always assumed that, as a comedic genre, radical satire was superior to pulling stupid faces. And is Peter Kay really funnier than Bill Bailey or Dylan Moran? Only if you're a pie-eating northern bastard. Most shocking of all was the news that Billy Connolly is the greatest comedian of all time. The man laughs at his own jokes, for fuck's sake. I'm not surprised his father abused him - if he was here right now I'd like to see how much of his banjo I could fit up his arse. The best stand-up I've ever seen was Jerry Sadowitz at the Comedy Store: "If I'd known Jill Dando was going to be shot on the Saturday, I'd have raped her on the Friday. As it happened I had to make do with the Sunday." lol Edited October 28, 2009 by Gump
Guest Coalbucket PI Posted October 28, 2009 Posted October 28, 2009 dont really find the joke funny or offensive
Guest abusivegeorge Posted October 28, 2009 Posted October 28, 2009 I think Gump might be beneboi. He doesn't understand humour. It's ok to not like Jimmy Carr, but you don't like any of them lol.
Guest FortyTwo Posted October 28, 2009 Posted October 28, 2009 It doesn't matter if it's funny or not. The role of the comedian in society is to say what no one else has the balls to say--the modern court jester. And in this, he is successful.

And at this, he's a failure. Frankie Boyle isn't exactly that funny, he's mostly just morbid, but he hits the mark more than Carr.
keltoi Posted October 28, 2009 Posted October 28, 2009 i was at a sadowitz gig and there was a wheelchair-bound person/person in a wheelchair that he absolutely preyed on the whole night, calling him a lazy bastard and demanding he stand up and stop living a lie. it was kind of funny the first time but he didn't know when to stop.

Dragging things out isn't funny. Partially why Family Guy sucks so much cock.
perunamuusi Posted October 28, 2009 Posted October 28, 2009 jimmy carr can fuck off. he's only slightly funnier than Alan Carr, who is the most useless cunt ever to appear on television.

Stewart Lee would argue that, endlessly, over and over again. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U1H913UqQ6w I couldnt find 'Dont make me Ang Lee' =( Edited October 28, 2009 by Dirty Protest

It's ok to not like Jimmy Carr, but you don't like any of them lol. wrong, i am not beneboi, i am gump jimmy carr is a fud i understand humour very well thank you and i like lots of comediens jsut not jimmy carr or peter kay or even billy coonnely nowadays for more reasons than his humour. if my previous post didn't come accross properly it was because i had a steam on at the time.
