Jimmy Carr

OFDM

One thing going for Jimmy Carr is that so far he's the fastest celebrity in a reasonably priced car on Top Gear (although that record almost went this week apparently).

anyone see his new stand up dvd yet? watched half an hour of it last night and i was in tears, magic stuff

Maybe his funniness is just a defence mechanism for his, ahem, ugliness. Har, har, har. Although I do remember once liking him, I now hate Jimmy Carr, he is too predictable. And what's with the pseudo-suave, english ponce act. Now Colin Murphy, there's a witty f*cker.

Just wondering. Does anyone find Jimmy Carr in anyway funny?

Eeeeeeeehhhhh, no.

He really brings The Panel down as nearly every Irish cultural reference has to be explained to him and it ruins the tempo of the show.

butters scotch

he is an annoying little man and in no way funny imho

He's not really funny at all. His "act" is dreadful. I can't believe people pay money to see a toff in a suit recite the same old one liner jokes!

The only part of his last DVD I laughed at was the 'No love, YOU'RE fattest' joke.

AARRRGH

Did any of you watch his show "Your face or mine?"? His comments were not prepared and he was often extremely extremely funny. He could be so cruel (yet true.)

I remember one classic line of his on "Distraction".
The girl had won the car, but had to smash the windscreen with a sledgehammer.

Jimmy: Okay, put on the protective gloves and goggles.
Here, take the car keys, they're yours now
Girl: I don't have any pockets in these trousers...
Jimmy: You should've worn more sensible clothes then, shouldn't you ?
Girl: I want my arse to look good
Jimmy: Have you tried the Aitkens ?

i guess like people said it's preference, he can be hit and miss, much like the "superior" rossie, (try watching him on they think it's all over and not wanting to brain the twat) it just depends on what you're in the mood for.

one guy i can't get is tommy tiernan, he trots out 10 year old jokes and uses billy connollys routine to do it, i suppose he's funny if you haven't seen much, but having followed him for nearly 5 years i find he's going off the boil, just resorts to screaming obscenities at the crowd.

Is it just me or does anyone else think jimmy carr is gay!

There was always gay jokes directed at him on "your face or mine" and he would just laugh them off.

There i was thinking he was gay this whole time and then i see him in a magazine with his girlfriend. Madness!!!

I do think he's funny though:)

Fuhrio

personally i always find him funny, beats the hell out of most comedians out there.

He was actually over the moon with it.

Couldn't make me crack a smile
I can imagine that this guy had to be quick with his mouth when in school as he was probably getting his head kicked in every week.

A 7 year old thread to insult him.

I thought he was very funny 3/4 years ago but getting stale now and more controversial to make up for it. Getting a bit Tiernan and Frankie Boyle for me.
