Le Stu Posted June 22, 2009 Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 I always confuse him with Alan Carr which means I'm always pleasantly surprised to find he isn't Alan Carr. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alkaline Posted June 22, 2009 Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 Jimmy Carr's book "The Naked Jape" was quite funny. The guy's laugh certainly isn't though. Sometimes i feel like killing Sean Locke just so there would be one less reason for Jimmy Carr to laugh in the world. The guy's laugh is like nails down a chalkboard or sand in my japper.

ben_1903 Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 that rape joke is really really old. jimmy carr is not funny, and to be honest isn't a proper comedian. He just tells jokes (which generally aren't even his).oh, he's also a pompous twat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geo1903 Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 My youngest loon (17) said "it was shite" and his bird said "it was good".Hope that helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemonade Posted June 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 that rape joke is really really old. jimmy carr is not funny, and to be honest isn't a proper comedian. He just tells jokes (which generally aren't even his).oh, he's also a pompous twat.That's not true at all, half his set is telling jokes, the other half is taking questions and comments from the audience and responding. The one-liners bit do start to get a little tiring but the questions and comments bit is funnier as it's spontaneous and he has to come up with a quick response. Have you seen any of his stand up or just 8 Out Of 10 Cats? And how is he a pompous twat? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soda Jerk Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 Jimmy Carr is funnier than anyone who posts on here. FACT.Comparing a professional to a bunch of folk killing time on the internet at work doesn't really hold much relevance, does it?I personally don't like him. I much prefer stand-up to be more obseravtion orientated, or the comedy to be part of a story rather than a reel of one-liners. I've never managed to watch one of his stand-up shows long enough to see him answer questions from the audience, but I've always found his responses on panel quiz shows to be quite predictable. He's embarassed himself a couple fo times on QI with his stone-age gay jokes, involving limp wrists and a camp voice. Not my thing and quite obviously not Stephen Fry's.At least he's not as bad as that Macintyre fella from Mock The Week (occasionally). I can't remember his first name, but I think I actually hate him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soda Jerk Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 Michael mcintyre? YouTube - Michael McIntyre on Mock The Week, North South divideI'll admit i think he's really funny but that's not one of his best.I can't watch that right now, but I can only assume it his impression of a Yorkshire accent?

It was just a daft thing to say.I like Richard Pryor, Jerry Seinfeld and Eddie Izzard. I quite like Henry Rollins too, but that's more spoken word than comedy. His anger is pretty funny however.

Paulscoconutass Posted June 24, 2009 Report Share Posted June 24, 2009 I've just started watching 8 out of 10 cats and it's much more watchable than the stand up he does. Sean Locke and Jason Manford carry the show though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davewarden Posted June 24, 2009 Report Share Posted June 24, 2009 Quite often the presenter on these shows seems to sit and watch, then throws in their contribution in between rounds, Dara o'Brein (no way! have i spelt that correct) does it on mock the week, which is a bit of a shame as he's actually the really funny on his stand up.Thats their job.

No, it is to be funny - not to exclusively tell jokes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
