I'm delighted that that's his level of humour

Dona Deric so

That's because your mum jokes are, and forever will be hilarious

Or Bad Dong

@andrew chase She's dead.

H M I mean they're both sort of weirdo outsider characters.

They were also on it crowd together

Always Mad Dont forget The Mighty Boosh!

@@alwaysmad3016 I swear Richard was a wizard of weird on it crowd. One day I'll have to track him down and become his apprentice lol.

@@alwaysmad3016 I was gonna comment that too :-), He was so Awesome in the IT Crowd

phoenixsplash135 was it your mum?

No seriously was it your mum?

your mum buys bargain garden furniture tho innit ?

She buys the cheap garden furniture as well.

she's gettin the real cheap shit as well

Jonah Drake I'm Welsh and I have no idea what she meant by that. Welsh plumbers are just as shit as every other plumber in every corner of Britain

@@A-small-amount-of-peas But they have a nice accent so they feel trustworthy

@@mrcaboosevg6089 ah yes the old regional accent seems more trustworthy theory

@@A-small-amount-of-peas Welsh is better than cockney, cockney just sounds like you're about to be ripped off

@@mrcaboosevg6089 Depends what type of Welsh. The accent changes by the county in Wales just like in England

Why would he laugh, it was a serious discussion.

I love how the mum joke broke him 😂

@@JamesForster1123 It's the only joke I've seen him crack for 😂

The trick is to not think you're funny. Then it's a game of who will laugh first :)

Half of it is the material, half of it is execution/the character

mc finn that joke was based on the fact that jimmy hadn’t paid tax, it wasn’t a coincidence

Ada Le r/wooosh

Ada Le we know mate

@@adaml5796 But no one knew then.

@@comediansactorsandall2502 yeah they do, 9:20

Right?? I've never been so delighted to watch someone take a panel show on such a mundane tangent. The man's got skills.

and noel's face made it even better

How he says “That might be the problem” is fucking hilarious

luedog4life 'a Welsh one! I live in London lol

I genuinely have this problem in my flat right now

International*

Depends who you ask. So it can be debated.

@@projekt1_FK gotta admit I can't stand him

@Ivan Clements Depends. For Richard Ayoade I might have to rethink that question.

Not a national icon. He's very funny but he's also part Norwegian or something for a start.

Anon Nymous they are perfect together! Such a weird duo whose comedic stylings pair so well!

I love when he and David Mitchell are paired

classic stuff, the jokester and the straight man(not sexuality, comedic terminology)

I'd love to see him with brand, did that ever happen?

+Fari they paired up at least twice, the Goth Detectives was their team name once

jimmy carrs mum had died of cancer

Didn't his mother die in 2001? Big Fat Q of the Noughties was recorded in 2012?

every cloud...

@@missmabel that's why he's crying. Though he knows it is a joke and is taking it likewise

JackDManheim he cracks up when he jokes about some comedians DVD.. cant remember which year it was of bfq.

Watch it crowd bloopers. He fully cracks up and it’s glorious

Agreed! The IT Crowd bloopers will have you giggling with glee because he actually laughs!!

He was cracking up every time he is with Bob Mortimer.

He cracked up for Bad Dong

Stone face killer

Even so, he still has an adorable smile 6:42 😍

Except "your mum" part :D

Corvid she was buying the real cheap shit!

Loved it when he broke character in the “I heard she killed him doing sex bit”

It's them or Sean and Corden!

i prefer noel and russell, but i do understand this being a good team

Nah man. Russel just isn't funny.... at all... to me. I'd vote either noel and Richard or Sean and corden.

Only one team could beat this one - Noel and Ju

A fairy cake

i was 1k like whoo

I mean, if you are what you eat, then could you theoretically eat enough cake to become one under the law?

We are all legally cake

Rise of The noodles a joke ahead of its time

I love when Richard went on a whole monologue “praising” Jimmy for the knowingly bad jokes he makes.

apangatang harris That That might be the problem.

I NEVER understood that. Aren’t tanks usually attached to the wall?

Michaels laugh kills me at that bit too he was in stitches😂

Timestamp

Real mates only do that

Watch IT crowd bloopers. He breaks so much.

The depressing bit is that his Mum died of Cancer.

JustA Midget I bet you're real fun at parties

@@justamidget4958 and it all started when she went to the B&Q and let out a cry

Flying Piano that’s my favourite part

Mr Duke Silver yeah. I do find there is a sense of politics entering it now, but for a long time, the humour has felt more raw than American quiz, political comedy shows. Like, there was a time when they use to make jokes about Islam and racist jokes, and now its kind of filtering away. There use to be no barriers to any of it. Political Correctness is ruining everything

Yeah, you tell 'em! Damn PC brigade with their... manners and welcoming attitude towards different ways of life!

a lot of them are shit though, like have I got news for you and a question of sport.

rufio'smousse question of sport isn't really a comedy show, more of a quiz show with comedy elements

we just don't get offended like the Americans

Takes some high brow comedy to break his deadpan demeanour.

I do believe this is the only time I've seen him break character. Did you notice his voice got a bit deeper as well? It's a little sexy.

He had to put his "bully" voice on.

Watch IT crowd bloopers. He properly cracks up.

He broke his public persona.

Lil Booki his comedy is sick Af

Electric moccasins * like the shoe

I like blending Hot Shame: The Indoor Kites

Richard’s Nightmare: The Gunge Tank

Yeah, when Noel's not in the show Richard just wins...and that's boring!

Giovanni Magnus I thought I was the only one!!

Such a lovely asshat

Me too

depression and humor are deeply connected

I think that they all knew about it by then judging by the amount of jokes.

Hamish Woodland I

I love that Alan is there too.

worst part is that Jimmy Carr mother is dead

that's one of the best parts of the vid. Richard and Noel are so funny together

That's what I was going to say! I was pretty sure she was dead by that time.

What's not to love?!

Little Luna Well, in France we do have a saying that basically goes like "a laughing woman is half-way in your bed" so you're probably on the receiving hand of that feeling haha

Me too , he’s handsome , smart , funny and modest .

Nawal gosh, you're so right

Can't remember which season it's in, but there's an episode of The IT Crowd where he tries to pass for a manly man (learns football hooligan speak and stuff) and he uses that voice then too.

D frst time i saw d clip i thot it was someone else talkng cs hs voice went suddenly deep

He was being a ‘chav’ kid (naughty school kid) they kinda talk like that.

It was VERY sexy 😄

It's funny that someone with his style and reputation finally can't keep himself from giggleing and it is all because of a your mum joke.

1SapereAude1 It's always the really stupid jokes that make comedians laugh.

I was waiting for the "funny nazi"-bit.

I got a malteser advert before the video

“It’s very hard for me to climb down from this energy!”

Heather Thomas a

See if you can dig up an old Never Mind The Buzzcocks that he hosted, he starts it off by telling everyone he refuses to stoop to the level of 'jokes', and proceeds to be the funniest person there for the duration nonetheless. s26e07 I think.

Sean Meehan He's also really good in "was it something I said" The first episode especially is brilliant, Jimmy Carr and David Ayoade on one team with David Mitchell as host, really can't go wrong

Jesus is that the one where he said Jimmy looked like Roger Federer?

Sean Meehan Try 'Man to Man with Dean Lerner' or 'Garth Marenghi's Darkplace'. Both made before The IT crowd and he's hilarious in both

i love it when Jack Whitehall gives him digs about the quality of his show

KingEdwards totally agree

They worked together before that on the Mighty Boosh. They were part of the same comedy troupe.
