USA "Wow, that was hardcore" UK... everyday banter... 😉

Lighten up everyone , i hear worse jokes than this at work . Us British have a really dark sense of humour 😂

Best dark joke I ever heard was from a serving Metropolitan Police Officer. He said "I just came from the river where we found a dismembered corpse in an Ikea bag... didn't even have the courtesy to leave us a free Allen Key."

The best bit is that they dont really get half the jokes so they dont really get how bad they are 😂😂😂

The banter at work in Britain would blow your mind.

I heard a great story about Jimmy Carr doing a warm up gig in LA before a Celebrity Roast show. He was talking about Pete Davidson's father passing in the 9/11 attacks. He said "Don't laugh, this isnt the roast of Pete Davidson's father - that was in 2001." The crowd fell into horrified silence except for one guy at the back who howled with laughter - it was Pete Davidson...

Jim Jeffries and Tim Minchin sneaking in as Aussie interlopers!

Imagine how shocked you'd be if you understood all of them 😂

I love watching Americans cringe at these jokes while us Brits think these are quite mild in comparison to which we are accustomed to on this side of the pond .

My favourite from Jimmy Carr: "If only Africa had more mosquito nets, we could prevent millions of mosquitos dying needlessly of AIDS"

Remember, in the UK prime time American sitcoms are aired on TV at breakfast time, because of how tame they are.

"You know, we thought this wasn't going to be that bad....." with frankie Boyle on? You didn't? 😂😂😂😂

No subject is beyond comedy. That's the way we Brits roll..and some Australians apparently.

British comedy, as with British beer, is a lot stronger than what you serve up in the US.

"These guys are really going in" - No, they really aren't. This is just standard. 😂

Speaking as a Brit, some of these clips are really shocking, yeah. But a lot of it is just typically dark British humour. A lot of the time we laugh at even the really nasty stuff because it taps into something we need to release.

Madelline refers to Madelline McCann a young girl who went missing while her parents were having dinner after leaving her in her hotel room while on holiday

Al "the Pub Landlord"' Murray's funniest joke; "You yanks reckon you know everything about terrorism. You should, after bankrolling the IRA for 35 years!"

Jimmy Carr once said that his style of comedy was where you laugh and as you're laughing you realise that you really shouldn't be.

The ticket barrier gag. Our police shot a guy they mistook as a terrorist when the UK were on high alert post London bombings

"The excess to Richard Hammond's car insurance" joke was done right after Richard Hammond (from top gear) crashed the rocket propelled car going 288mph (463kph), he had to have a large chunk of his brain removed and was in hospital for a long time with memory problems.

You absolutely need to do a deep dive on Jimmy Carr. He'll cross the line a lot, but he's REALLY good at what he does

Love your reactions to this. Something you all need to know out there in America. THIS is freedom of speech!

'I thought this wasn't gonna be that bad' killed me. Our humour here is savage, and Jimmy Carr is the most savage of them all.

This is why US Legendary Comedians like Bill Hicks had to go to the UK to get their break through. Only years later was his comedy recognised in the US for it's Genius.

2:30 The irony here is that Jim Jefferies made a ton of jokes about Islam, but when he got his own show with Comedy Central, he suddenly went squeaky clean and went after people who made jokes about Islam. I got into British comedy around 2015. The only barrier to entry for us Americans are some of the pop culture references they make, many of which are unknown in the U.S. However, the more you watch, the more you start to pick up on some of these references, and some of it can be understood just from the context of which it's said.

As a Brit, I laughed my arse off 😂

This was light! Our comedy can be much darker than that...😂😂😂 Great reaction, guys. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Two Aussies in this. This needs to be said. They're not all from the UK.

That is tame in UK tbf

In England we literally say the most unspeakable of things to each other and go about our day😭

Tbh, this just sounds like every day banter amongst work colleagues or mates down the pub

Although there is a vocal minority in the UK that is getting a bit thin-skinned about what is and is not suitable for humour most of us tend to have an attitude that goes something like yes X event was horrible, but our usual way of dealing with it is to make a filthy joke about it.

This reaction is a pretty good example of why British and American humour is just fundamentally different, there were a few UK specific jokes you wouldn't have got (like Frankie Boyles "if we're all here, who's looking after Madeleine?" which is a reference to one of the most famous disappearances in history where a toddler vanished from her hotel room in Portugal while her parents were at dinner, they were all over the news for years and still made reappearances until the last sort of year or two where they've now got a prime suspect in the case other than the parents) but there was a lot that you took too seriously. Not an insult and not your fault, I think it's just the way American culture is for some reason whereas in the UK/AU one of the most popular comedy types is the sheer vulgarity/seriousness you get from Frankie Boyle/Jimmy Carr. US comedy is often (not always) predictable and more generic in order to satisfy everyone at the cost of actually being funny. That's just my take though I'm sure others probably think US humour is the best thing since sliced bread but to each their own.

Jokes about children with cancer are like Peter Pan. They never get old. 😂

Working in a British factory during down times, the humour would leave you like this :O he he he

Jimmy carr is amazing. I love jokes that make people hate themselves for laughing. :D

I'm british and hearing alot of them I was even shocked. I have a sense of humour and was brought up on this sort of humour but honestly...some of them were below the belt!!

There will be several of these that will blow totally over your head as you won't have a clue as to who they are referring to and you really need to realise we are savage

Our sense of humour alone is what makes being British so great 😂

This is FAR from the most "offensive" we can be...😂❤🇬🇧

Jimmy Carr and Frankie Boyle, genuinely funny but know how to execute the offensive jokes so well

Bit of light hearted banter 😂

Also a lot of these shows were on National TV prime time.

No no no my friends this is relatively tame for some of the comedians involved.

British comedy is basically just seeing how far you can push the envelope without getting cancelled.😂

Nothing touches the old school british comedian's. These modern ones just try to shock you.

The myth of the square, mothballed British public slowly crumbling lol

Jimmy Carr “20 Most offensive jokes”

British banter seems to be misunderstood by many other countries, but when you’re raised on dark humour & banter it’s everyday life. I also worked in a hospital for a number of years and liaised with emergency services and you have to have an outlet for what you see and it really can be corpse humour and laughing at things most people would cringe at, however I would say it allows you to get through things with your sanity intake.

Serving in the British Army you used to get a generous Serving of inappropriate, but extremely funny humour that civilians would never understand!

Finally some Jimmy Carr😎

This made me realise that a lot of Frankie Boyle’s jokes require context.

I’m dying at your reactions 😂😂😂😂😂 So much of this is Brit specific but your faces are just brilliant

Ah yes, Jim and Tim - those classic British comedians 😂

Tim Minchin and Jim Jeffries are Australian.

“These guys are really going in” this is normal British humour

Honestly these kind of jokes are an everyday occurrence over here and we love it

These are the jokes we tell while having a few people around for a takeaway, not dark at all

Thing is...THESE ARE JUST JOKES...dont treat them as serious.

The joke about Richard Hammond's car insurance refers to a british TV presenter who crashed his car while performing a stunt for the Top Gear show he co-presented and was put in critical condition by the accident

USA 'that's hardcore!' Brits. 'Thats another Monday morning at work for us.'

Loved rewatching these, thanks from London ❤

Jade goody was on big brother and televised her battle with cancer even up to the day she died. Madeline mcann went missing in Spain 2007 when left in hotel room whilst parents went for dinner they have spent millions looking for her and still not been found. People think that the parents killed her

Not offended by any of it. All good comedy. :)

That's every day talk amongst british ppl 😂

The blank expressions on their face when the joke is about something topical that they’ve clearly never heard of is great

Your faces are a picture during some of these!!! Do more , more I say! Loving your work 😂

Jimmy Carr is a good entry to British comedy. Probably best watched as a whole show. He is really good at easing you into his style.

Yes the British personality consists of sarcasm, offensiveness and friendly racism 😆 it's just who we are

Truly offensive, hilarious jokes. Keep it up!

That was tame. No joke.

“Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.” I refer to the first amendment to express my opinion that I find the second amendment more offensive than these jokes...

Frankie Boyle was something else 😂😂😂😂

A normal British comedy show! 😂 We are pretty brutal!!

You guys should do Frankie Boyle Michael Jackson Children’s Hospital 😂

The guy talking about the microphone and his uncle was an Aussie not a Brit

Frankie and Jimmy are the best at pushing that envelope!

That's only really offensive to an audience from a highly restrictive country , to us in free societies we don't really have political correctness in comedy

Most of those weren't even close to offensive.

Oh this was tame, the rabbit hole has a very sharp drop from there 😂

The British sense of humour is in a league of its own 😂

Ive noticed a lot of folks are commenting on this video making out 'Ha, this is nothing, this is tame by British standards, British workplace banter is unreal, etc' sorry guys but that is not true. Frankie Boyle and Jimmy Carr are notorious for being brutal. Both have made headlines for their material in the national media numerous times while most Brit comics are way less offensive.

The ticket barrier joke is about an innocent man who was shot dead, after being wrongly followed by police as a terror suspect, they got the address wrong! He jumped the ticket barrier trying to run from them, he had over stayed his visa.

The ginger haired guy who did the Kylie bit near the end, is Tim Minchin. He does a song called Prejudice. Well worth a listen.

The best bit about this is that a lot of this is so esoteric they didn't understand it and the other half were Australian.

Two of the comedians are Australian!😂😅

Come on guys Ricky G said it best. Stop saying that’s offensive an start saying you found it offensive. What offends you doesn’t offend me, it’s called comedy. 🤣🇬🇧🙏🏻

In britain this is like standard conversation for a day in work 😂

Loved it. Just watched it, just subscribed too. In respect of suggestions: You guys need to watch some Kevin Bloody Wilson, Australian comedian who writes very offensive songs, he is brilliant, and you need to do a reaction video to him.

America played the most offensive joke on themselves It's called Donald Trump!

You find it offensive I don't Aussies and Brits have a similar dark sense of humour. Sorry America you're too worried about words, and not worried about gun violence enough. 😮

Loved watching your reactions.... Manchester UK

The sting rays one is incredible🤣🤣

Jokes are only offensive if u were born without a sense of humour!

Unfortunately Jim Jeffries and Tim Minchin are Australian, but both funny blokes...

This is how we roll in my house

Spend a day on your average UK construction site and humour like this is mandatory 😂

Seeing as you guys obviously have no idea of the context or characters being joked about in over 50% of these skits, I'd stick to the less advanced "comedy" on your side of the pond.......

Hard core lol :) That was hilarious :)
