Comments by "R K." (@DarkAngel2512) on "Jimmy Carr jokes 'should not be policed by goernment', says Fraser Myers" video.

The best ones are the ones that make your jaw drop and make you think "did he just say that" and then make you bust out laughing.

Maybe that's their aim. Someone on Netflix might have purposefully done this for publicity.

Joan Rivers made jokes about her mum in an oven and her being Jewish and yet she lost her whole family to The Holocaust. The joke was very funny. It was made even funnier because of how dark it was. No jokes should be off limits. I find rape and child molestation jokes funny and I'm a rape and child abuse victim. I really dont need people being offended on my behalf and ruining great comedy because ..its bloody comedy. We need humour as a coping mechanism. If it's not for you then dont watch. Dont ruin it for the rest of us. You cant ban everything you're offended by.

@BunFight Here's a true story. My friend who had HIV was sat with me one day and I was asking her a question and to double check I asked are you positive? She replied, "yes, HIV positive that is". We both laughed. I actually.thought of the joke two seconds before she said it but thought best not to say. Turns out she found it funny.

@andyhart358 you object to jokes being broadcast? Are you saying you want comedy cancelled? Couldnt you just personally opt out of watching it seeing as the majority enjoy it?

At this rate I'm tempted to vote UKIP. I cant bring myself to vote for Tory or Labour and Green and Lib Dem are just as woke. The overtun window has shifted so much

Joan Rivers didnt seem to think so. Also Jimmy was highlighting how it was wrong Roma were killed but rarely get mentioned because people are still racist about them. He was holding up a mirror.

Thank you. Thats exactly how I took it. You're the only other person I've seen point that out. Hes making a dig at how we never mention all the others killed. If I was one of the other races killed during The Holocuast and only ever kept hearing Jews mentioned I'd feel a little pissed. He took a serious point and then executed the clear joke punchline after so take away the sting of the point he had just raised whilst also highlighting people are racist about Roma Gypsies and that that might be why they're never mentioned. Its actually quite clever when you think about it. He wasnt being racist. He was taking the piss out of racists who dont give Roma the respect they deserve in these conversations. He was being sarcastic.

@mrjekyllandhyde9941 and one particular demographic will likely cut your head off

If one person found it offensive probably.

I find him quite dull. Nothing edgy about his routine with the Holocaust joke. Very ingratiating. It wasnt like a normal comedy sketch. What comedian apologies before a joke or even before stand up? Does comedy need trigger warnings now? How did people become so wet.?

@jetnight88 he is a race. He's white.

@simonchapman7146 but they're jokes. What arent you getting. I'm a child abuse and rape victim a d I find rape jokes funny. Why? Because I didnt have the humour raped out of me. I know what is meant as a joke and what is meant seriously. The irony here is that you missed that he was drawing attention to how other races dont get mentioned when The Holocaust is mentioned. It's only ever the Jews. Because eff the rest of those exterminated, amirite? But it flew right over the heads of the ever perpetually offended. Too busy trying to find something wrong in a joke you couldnt see he made a point that loads of others were exterminated too. I cannot believe what I'm seeing all over the internet with people offended by comedy. Did you hear Joan Rivers joke about The Holocaust? She lost her whole family in The Holocaust and her joke was more cutting that Jimmy's. You guys are also ironically pushing for the same Fascistic clamp down as Hitler. Anyone who doesnt fall in goose step is getting metaphorically sent to their death. Because screw freedom of speech in comedy. How can you not decipher the diff?

@johnyare8576 can I ask your age because we all knew what comedy was until yesterday. I cannot fathom how adults who grew up without social media are offended by comedy
1
@jetnight88 claiming Jimmy wouldnt make jokes about religion if he was religious is hilarious. Joan Rivers family was Jewish and she lost all her family in The Holocaust yet made a joke about Jews burning in the oven. She joked about her husbands death a week after he died.
1
Well, some people are ignorant. I didnt know other races were killed in The Holocaust until recently. Highlighting that ignorance was a dig at how other races are rarely mentioned when referring The Holocaust which I imagine pisses them off no end. He made a good point to mention Roma Gypsies.

@jackjude hun, those things you call disparaging are called jokes. They arent serious. You do know what a joke is? I feel like I'm in The Twilight Zone. This is like gaslighting on a whole new level. How has half of society stopped understanding what a joke is? And it's funny because he is making a lighthearted joke out how people are racist. Seriously if you break down every joke you take the humour out of it. Comedy isnt supposed to be overanalysed. Drop the academic bs. It's a joke. If you dont like comedy just say. But his joke was actually a rather tame joke. You act as if you've never seen comedy before. You're taking fake outrage to a whole new level. This is ridiculous and dangerous. You're trying to stop free speech. CIA doesnt need to brainwash us. You seem to be doing that well all by yourselves.
1
@jackjude I cant believe I'm attempting to explain his but comedy is taking diff things and making light of them including the bad stuff. It's not saying those things arent bad. It's just a way of coping with them. I despair at how we have got here that I have to academically break down what a joke is.
1
@jackjude you literally said he "made disparaging jokes" and "made it seem ok". If you're not offended then dont say you are. You're whole tone is on the defence. How do you get put of bed in the morning? The logic wasnt to disparage them. It was to point out how they dont get mentioned and how people are still racist about them. He was pointing out peoples' racism about Gypsies. Not being racist himself. It's a sad state if affairs it needs explaining to someone who is clearly supposed to be an adult. Really, how did we get here? How badly has social media screwed people up? You are reading way too much into a standard joke format. Its honestly just really sad this has become a common thing to see people offended over absolutely nothing. I feel sorry for the kids growing up under this. Smh.
1
@jackjude it's not an objectively disparaging joke. Do you know what objective means? If it was objective people wouldnt be debating it. Why do you think you have some higher wisdom to understanding Jimmy more than anyone else particularly when you claim to know what others think by saying its objectively disparaging? You clearly dont know what others think much less what objective is. Keep telling yourself that if it makes you feel better but the facts are its subjective as its comedy. Much comedy is edgy. Thats kind of what comedy is. And I dont know what comedy you've watched but this joke was pretty standard and barely offensive. Im going out on a limb and guessing you grew up on social media telling you what to be offended by
1
@jackjude he's highlighting racism by the joke being about people being racist about gypsies. I'm sorry but I dont believe you are this stupid. You cant be. And yes I fear for kids if adults really are this stupid and easily offended.
1
@jackjude not strawmnanning..I just dont agree with you. 🤷‍♀️ and I've addressed all comments made to me..perhaps you didnt like the answer. By Carr mentioning Gypises he was highlighting how Gypsies arent mentioned during the Holocaust and the second part he was making fun of the fact people are racist and think badly of Gypsies. Its draining having to explain the obvious to someone who is either a troll or very stupid. Energy vampire either way. I wasnt ignoring your points. I just dont agree. What part of that are you not getting? Your explanations do come off as someone easily offended. This shouldn't even be a conversation that's how mundane the damn joke was. The internet has caused a deep psychosis in society and it's sad to see people unravel over literally basic asf jokes. Tell you what, I'll leave you to your outrage. It seems to be serving you well. Bet you find offense in all sorts. Anyway, your killing my brain cells trying to explain the obvious. Hope you get your head sorted. muting

Pre 2010 would suit me

Its prob already seen as a "micro-agression" whatever the fuck those are.

You can make jokes about anything. I'm a child abuse/rape victim and Brass Eye's "Paedophile" episode was hilarious. People pretend to be offended these days. Its so fake.
1
His joke wasnt controversial. The audience laughed. Did they say the same about Joan Rivers Holocaust joke. Jimmy Carr is extremely vanilla and ingratiating in his stand up. He didnt condone anything. It was a joke. Anyone who even spins it that way has some real misunderstanding about what comedy is.
1
He was highlighting the racism towards Roma Gypsies during The Holocaust and since by pointing out they were also killed yet we never mention them and making a joke about how some people would have wanted them killed because people are still racist about them which is likely why they dont get mentioned during The Holocaust conversation. How have people missed that? He did the opposite of what people think. He was holding a mirror up to racism.
