Society/Culture Jimmy Carr: Cancelled

[sherb]

And some people like to laugh at others, belittle them, act superior and don’t want to be interrupted by people calling out their bullshit.

James Acaster is a legend.

He's great.

And that's coming from an "old person".

Boomer comedy?

 

[Ghost Patrol]

That works for me.

How do you placate the left?

Have you tried not pretending to be an edgelord?

I'm a campaigner of a bloke, there's no pretense.

You also claim you are scared of your wife. Do you pretend to be nice and somewhat normal at home, and at work?

I've already told you there's no pretense. Do you understand English?

While this article only mentions Jimmy Carr as part of a larger peanut gallery the last paragraph speaks loudly as to why Conservative standup is in a bit of a pickle;



Jimmy Carr himself couldn't function within the new-ish conservative comedy movement coming out of the U.S that's known as 'dry bar comedy'

Dry Bar Comedy: Stand-Up Comedian Keith Stubbs’s Family-Friendly Platform is Working to Keep America’s Humor Clean - American Essence

Today’s stand-up comedy is filled with F-bombs and N-words. The monologues in late-night shows have turned into profanity-laced political rants that

I went to some of the recent Melbourne comedy festival shows; they were mostly from the left and pretty dull and did not at any stage create conversation or controversy which is basically what humour is all about.

So no one talked to you?

 

[kranky al]

I don't recall authorising this at the last meeting

Are we sure it's not a false flag?

Wasn’t a mod meeting silly, it was the international antifa meeting that soros paid for everyone to go to

Cats does countdown is not the same without Lock.

And Jimmy Carr right now is better as a panel show host than stand up, allows the wit to work well with fellow comedians

So much this.

Watched Carr su and meh - but he shined paired with Sean lock. Absolute tragic loss to comedy

Nazi island lols

??? Why would someone talk to me during a comedy show,I’m there to listen. I suppose you are one of those people who talk during movies and plays, look at your phone constantly, eat popcorn noisily, get up and down…

I thought the idea of humour was to make you laugh.

If the only thing that makes you laugh is controversy and jokes targeted towards people/groups, then that says a fair bit about you, none of it particularly great.

Cancelled? Only really started seeing his videos in the last 2-3 months on Facebook. I find him hilarious.

It's kind of amusing to see a thread on one of the world's wittiest comedians on one of the most witless forums.

Pretend cancelling is it's own unique genre now.

Jimmy Carr is the Piers Morgan of comedy.
