"gentlemen special interest literature" is just a very funny way to call it xD

'Put smarties tubes on cat legs make them walk like a robot' fuckin golden 🤣 and now he's doing cats does countdown 👌🏿

JImmy Carr is like the kid sitting in the last row, always telling jokes and clowning around, but never getting caught

"Gay Elf Romp" sounds like the title of a Lord of the Rings fanfic

I love Jimmy's laugh. It gives one a close approximation of the sound of an owl engaging in auto-erotic asphyxiation.

I've got the "Smarties tubes" thing on a t-shirt. I love it.

Anyone know what that clip is where Jimmy says to Stephen “I know you think you’re putting a voice on but that is just how you sound”?? Been looking for it for ages I love it

4:49 makes me laugh every single time. The brief pause followed by Jimmy's perfect shy response, equal parts innocence and incredulity.

Missed one: "Why would you hit your own wife? I mean, it's YOUR wife... It's like keying your own car!"

What about the Acropolis where the Parthenon is?

This show is pure gold

Anyone who's had a cystoscopy will know exactly how magnificent it was of Jimmy to tell a joke while a camera was inserted in his bladder.

Comedians are the only people for whom, if you tell them what you do for a living, people expect you to give them an example! You wouldn't expect this conversation: "What do you do for a living?" "I work at Gregg's the Bakers, on Market Street." "Make me a sandwich!"

"That.. that is unbe*fucking*lievable." Now that's the sort of gratification I desperately seek.

1:10 Alan is spot on right. This is the work of a true genius. Your IQ has to be stellar to pull of something like that. Or should I say QI.

I love Jimmy's pisstakes of the questions, the host, the topics, the graphics, the production, and the whole show itself. NOTHING is out of bounds ... and rightly so.

We need a Bill Bailey compilation!

1:23 the foreshadowing of his eventual hosting of 8 out of 10 cats do countdown is amazing

Jimmy has lost so much weight

Always loved the letter-board one...! =D

Chunky Jimmy makes me smile. :)

“What do bees do better than dogs?” “Make honey?” 🤔

True Story. I had the same procedure Jimmy described and I can attest to the size of the camera they use. I am not a comedian but do love comedy and considered by most to have a quick wit. While the doctor was getting ready to insert the camera, he was chatting with the two nurses about receiving a request in the mail to renew his driver's license and said to the nurses that he had apparently been driving without a license for the past few weeks, as his license had expired a few weeks prior. He turned and looked at me and said he was about to start inserting the camera when I say : " Wait ! Hold up ! Are you telling me your not licensed to drive this thing !!! Nurse, help !" All three burst out laughing so much so that the desk nurse had to come in and see what was so funny. She didn't find it as funny, as the old saying goes, guess you had to be there...lol

the Parthenon at the Acropolis is one of Thee Best Bits Ever.

Not to dismiss the very impressive anagram, but he did get additional letters from Bill Bailey, and the W is an upside down M

4:30 An errant Jimmy laugh.

Jimmy grew up in Slough and never encountered the word 'chav'?

1:00 that's from all that time hosting 8 out of 10 does countdown...

I love his laugh so much

Ewok scientists on Titan "We believe there is life on the third planet from the sun" "What proof do you have" *Plays recorded sound* HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HAAaaaaaaaaaaaa

The blue jacket he is wearing at the 2 minute mark is so cute!

I've been telling the nurse joke to all my friends and family its hilarious! Of course I credit Jimmy afterwards.

4:40 In typical Jimmy Carr fashion he should have said "You're holding one"

Perfect way to open any kind of video; Victoria Coren Mitchell.

Jimmy had such chubby cheeks when he was younger!

Now I need to go and watch all those entire episodes all over again 🤓

"Gentlemen special interest literature" *KLAXON* 🤣🤣🤣

The smarties tubes on cats legs was a whole bit he had in a stand up tour. So I dunno how much shenanigans are going on for him to get those letters, but good going

He never failed to make stephen laugh

I don’t know why but I want a compilation of inappropriate jokes and stories from this show...glasscock makes me laugh every time I watch it!

Thinking of a sentence that makes sense and uses exactly all of the letters is fucking genius

Gold

4:45 I just want to know what joke he told

Wasn't aware there was a "best of Jimmy Carr" aaayyyy

i still think his best bit was the durable Mike Malloy.

I gotta look for a place to put that thermometer joke, i cannot keep it to myself

okay but what DOES make up 70% of the internet...?

Jesus christ... Jimmy is on another level of genius xD Why is he a comedian?

If Jimmy making a sentence from all of his letters isn't proof why he deserves to host 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown, I don't know what is.

His Countdown comment on the second is is practically prophetic

I just want to know what the joke he told the nurse was.

he lost so much weight!

0:51 the moment they decided Jimmy Carr to also host Countdown

Just noticed that Jimmy used an M upside down for the W in walk, still impressive

I think that anagram might be how he got the job on countdown. xD

0:50 That’s how he got the job on 8/10 cats does countdown

"gay elf romp" LMAO

1:03 If this is anything to go by then I'd guess Jimmy would seriously wreck it at scrabble.

1:28 Bill had the letters s, e and x left over but I'm sure I can hear Alan saying 'gay elf sex romp'. Bit odd.

I honestly laughed my fucking ass off.

Forming that cat sentence ... it must have been one hell of a coincidence or something to get the exact letters to form that sentence. That can't have been real.

It just hit me - He looks a _lot_ like a young Steve Martin!

I wonder how many guys crossed their legs when he told the story of the "pee-hole" camera the size of a pen. I certainly did!

My favourite moment is him talking about dying from eating rabbits and pissing Fry off.

00:51 Oh, hello!

get that man on count down!

It's amazing that he's the only contestant ever to know the questions beforehand!

Before the inevitable million.

Ah, the Great Shalve Hordes of Manchuria are a fascinating people.

Still no Bill Bailey compilation?

What word do they mean at 1:59? I'm a non native speaker and I'm having issues understanding. Chowder??

Oh, and Jimmy Carr is still hilarious. (Don't let my aggressive position give you any misconceptions...I'm not the average bear)

Who else noticed the fly at 02:17?

Bees smell better than dogs

What episode is the first one from?

stop, I broke ribs today.

Why is "There's always someone in there!" not in this?

That Honey didn't got a Buzzer is weird, seeing it was an obvious answer

The smarties tubes on cats legs thing had to have been a setup, right? I mean, he even made that joke in one of his standup shows.

Ha! The thermometer story ("Tell us a joke") seems to have been borrowed by Jim Jefferies for a personal hospital anecdote of his own. Either that, or a spectacular coincidence. Or the other way around?

An updated version will have the reverse cowgirl thing, i am sure.

Can you repeat the question please?!

Jimmy funny. Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah😂😂😂😂😂

Their accents are so thick they have to clarify to each other. Lettuce. Lettuce.

Seeing Jimmy not wearing a suit is... odd

I wonder if anyone has put smartie tubes on cats legs now

0:30 that was later revealed to be fake.

What about the more recent one where Sandy asked, "What's the most dangerous sexual position?" And Jimmy got the klaxon for saying "Reverse Cowgirl"?

Jimmy without a suit, what is this deception ?

"that laugh"****!

We see, in this compilation, jimmy carr chubby cheeked and slim. David Mitchell, Jo Brand and Sandi Toksvig have each also gained and lost weight over time.

Alan Davies

I'm stealing Jimmy's pronunciation of chav (I am, technically, one, by virtue of where I'm from). I wanna be classy

Is there anything on brit tv other than comedy disguised as gameshows?

I started watching QI at a point where they had fat Jimmy Carr and skinny David Mitchell. Their current forms just don't feel right after that first impression.

Why would you put the punchline of the first bit in the title of the first bit...? It appears on top of the video when viewed on mobile. Punchlines generally work best when they're unexpected.

Mr. Absolutely Mental Laugh. *seriously??*

This was all just a big missed chance of hearing his laugh for ten minutes straight. That sound must cure Cancer. Love him.

To be fair, I still don't know what chavs are.

Why does he always sit in the same place?
