Jimmy Carr; "if only Africa had more mosquito nets, then every year we could save millions of mosquitos from dying needlessly of AIDS"

I told a joke to a customer in my cab a few years back, it was the day after the Manchester suicide bombing, I said, if I was at an Ariana Grande concert I’d have blown myself up as well, suffice to say he didn’t find it funny😳

What did the blind orphan get for Christmas? Leukemia.

Hack Panther.

Someone called an Indian guy a curry muncher, but I think that’s in every UK school 😂

What a video that is

Listen on Spotify?

@@courtesywater6hi992 oh I know that =) But I just wished he put the videos on here aswell. For people that prefer watching/listening over just listening.

Idk why they dont have the video oj spotify

Have A Word podcast mate. :)

@@smthompson89 wag wag

you can reference something and still be tasteful.

EEEEEE why are you reading that shite

You know what I was abojt to say you're chatting shit but that's actually a really fucking quality Diss I'm a let you have it

The fact that you read that in the Scum is a lie in itself. Only one of you is selling out arenas and it’s not you.

You got any more mate ?? Dying to read another one. Honest.

Yet 100% of people reading this comment will think you're talking about the people who disagree with them 🤯

How come?

@@HappyHourPodcast I think he maybe had a bad day. nothing major. just not very pleasant . He put on an excellent show though

That’s Frankie Boyle on mock the week isn’t it?🤣

I’m a west ham fan from canning town and i can say with certainty and easiness that england winning the world cup is a million times better than west ham winning the league

@@christopherstaffordd 😧 no way 😂

He blatantly said the problem was the lawyers had issues with the potential backlash of the Moors joke vs Hillsborough joke. Nothing to do with his joke being not funny

No jokes are unacceptable, that’s the problem in todays world . People have forgotten that a joke is merely that and nothing else . You don’t need context you need a single briancell to work out that it’s a bloody joke , your feelings or anyones of that matter are not important whatsoever

Described what a dead kid would look like? Well yeah that’s the point, it’s a roast battle.

They didnt reject the joke they changed it to not offend. But kept the other as is

Hang about, what “Jimmy carr situation”? Please don’t tell me he’s being cancelled for the recent Netflix special

Left wing people are the problem in society

@@Real_Dystopian they're trying to cancel him because he made a joke about gypsies during the holocaust

You know whats weird about the Jimmy Carr situation. The man tells people before hand that he tells offensive jokes. These people ignored that and hen complained he told an offensive joke. Its like throwing yourself into the ocean and then complaining that you got wet.

@@SharkSprayYTP I'm sure many people watch him and similar acts in hopes of finding something to be offended about and get them canceled. Also odd how it's always offense on behalf of another group; would bet my life it wasn't a gypsy who caused all the fuss about his gypsy joke

Yeah people are wankers to the scouse, especially southerners

Cuz he’s moist openly admitting to censoring himself

@@CLairsoftFTW don't know what other choice he had

@@mattdaley4452 to not be a bitch and say what he wanted to say lol

@@CLairsoftFTW it was a TV show if he disagreed he just would have been cut or not allowed on.

They’d told him he couldn’t do it but OK’d hers

he's complaining about the double standard

He isn’t “complaining about double standard” - he’s portraying his own. He declares that it’s okay for him to suggest crass ‘jokes’ about dead kids, but Hillsborough is apparently sacrosanct. If you’re making jokes about dead kids, you’re not remotely funny.

I don’t think he’d have had as much of an issue with it if his had been approved. He wrote his joke himself and it was turned down by producers, the same producers who had allowed a Hillsborough joke to be written and approved it. The double standard is the producers picking and choosing what’s appropriate by what’s convenient for them (i.e. the backlash won’t be as big for Hillsborough).

He didn't say Hillsborough wasn't fair game, he said that it was ridiculous that a joke about the moors murders was considered too bad but a joke about Hillsborough was fine because the lawyers didn't think Hillsborough would have a big backlash, as if 96 dead, including 38 victims aged 10-19 is less serious than 5 murdered kids

Do you not see the irony here? He was clearly fuming at the Hillsborough joke but wanted to say whatever he liked about Yorkshire? Hypocrite.

@@i360hd4 He was fuming at one being allowed and the other not He was mad at the double standards of what’s Correct in society

@@i360hd4 he actually never said that the Hillsborough joke shouldn't have been told, he just said that if it was told, then it would've received more backlash than his joke.

@@i360hd4 did you even listen to what he said. He was pissed about how one joke was allowed and the other weren’t, double standards. I suggest listening to the clip before commenting.

Notice how he had two gripes with that joke: The fact that he knew the audience would disagree with it, and the fact that the lawyer's double-standards in offering it when saying his own was too offensive clearly proved they didn't have a clue about what they were even doing. At no point did he say he was offended by the joke itself.

Tell that to the millions of tourists that visit every month…

He said she wouldn’t be able to gig in Liverpool again which has one of, if not, the best comedy club in the country. So for a comedian risking that isn’t worth it for a throw away joke on a roast battle someone has wrote for you

Lol.. If Frankie boyle had his time now instead of back then.... Boy he would probably have had a social justice assassination attempt half heartedly made on him

And now Frankie Boyle is the snowflake

What does “you can’t joke about anything these days mean” ? criticism isn’t cancellation, comedians can and do make these jokes but now there’s a bit more public criticism, get over it. If the joke is good you should Be able to defend it.

What do you mean by that?

"I'm a bigot and I wish this person fit into my pre-judgemental way of thinking so that I can say something bigoted about them being a bigot."

@@jimboc669 looks like we found ourselves another scouser, here to have a good moan. I also enjoy knocking Arsenal fans. And Tories. And TV License people. Only a scouser would act like a victim of bigotry in response to this 😂

@@shaun2463 I'm not wasting my time arguing with someone with as little self awareness as you. Your comment speaks for itself.

@@jimboc669 "lack of self-awareness", says the man who says he isn't wasting his time arguing, while wasting his time arguing. Nice one Jimbo mate 👍

​@@shaun2463 just a bit of a weird thing to say mate

He isn't saying you can't make the joke, he is saying that she won't be able to perform in Liverpool anymore. Which is not his fault right.

@mI Ka at no point did he state that he was okay with the joke 🤷‍♂️ he classes himself 100% scouser so if he's saying Liverpool wouldn't have her after that he's also saying he wouldn't like it 🤷‍♂️

@@asyouwere553 At no point did he say he was Not OK with it either. He was pointing out both were jokes about dead people, but the lawyers argument wasn't that THAT joke is more offensive in general but will generate less backlash.

@Efftup Smith he's dying if someone did a Hillsborough joke that would NEVER work in liverpool 🤷‍♂️ he's liverpol. 🤪

@@asyouwere553 so because he never said he was against something, he has to be for it? I guess he hates minorities as well, because he didn't once say he was cool with them... Also, even if he wouldn't have liked a joke, that isn't the same as saying someone shouldn't tell the joke. You're clueless mate.

what part was hypocritical?

Glad someone else has seen this too. “I can say whatever I like, to whoever I like, but no one can joke about Liverpool or Hillsborough, because the city of Liverpool will come for your necks”. Dickhead.

@@SullyJNP Gets upset that his Moors murders joke was canned then acts like the Hillsborough joke was a crime against humanity. Either jokes about disasters are funny or they're not. You can't act like it should be anything goes but then get all glassy eyed when the joke's about you/your community.

@@W0mbRaider he didn't get pissed about the Hillsborough joke he was upset that his joke didn't get through to tv but that did lmao. because whoever didn't want it to.

You’re all missing the point entirely. It’s not hypocritical to say “either anything goes, or it doesn’t and that’s wrong” Adam knows that all jokes are fair game, but some jokes aren’t worth ruining an entire career over, and he felt like being told he couldn’t go x far, but maisey would have been dragged through the papers in Liverpool for ages by an army of still angry, passionate scousers, was not okay. He didn’t just want to make a joke about dead kids, he’s saying that both jokes would cause some level of public outrage, and it’s fitting that the scousers being mad wouldn’t have mattered to the execs protecting the ears of those parents and family of the kids.

Super inaccurate

Yeah, I've seen a few clips of him now and he's really not funny. Seems right up his own arse, too.

Couldn’t agree more

Coming from a person so original they’ve named themselves after an athlete from the 80’s. Yeah, cause your opinion is absolutely something people should care about.

Settle down your give yourself an ulcer

It's all about time and place. It's OK to make a joke about a tragedy as long as your not making it to people involved.

exactly double standards its a joke both ways.

Your missing the point. Adam wasn’t just thinking about how the joke would come across but how that joke could potentially ruin her career. Liverpool has one of the best comedy followings in the UK. She would never of been able to gig in Liverpool again if she has made that joke.

@@jabbatheslut4678 well that’s a fair point mate.

How 😂

They were tho

I dunno tbh, I reckon the right comedian could crush it.

Nah jokes are jokes, i.e not to be taken seriously; how "offensive" it is depends on how seriously individuals take it, which normally comes down to how personally or emotionally invested they are in the subject. Generally when it comes to dark humour, much like food in Africa not everyone gets it. Sure Hillsborough was a tragedy, but so was the Holocaust on a *much* larger scale and enough jokes are still made about that and no one really bats an eye. Don't get me wrong, Hillsborough was definitely tragic in its own right, but there's no reason it should get special treatment as 'no joke territory' - either everything is fair game to joke about, or nothing is. And if we subscribe to the latter, we start down a slippery slope where eventually nothing is okay to say, ever, about anything because some snowflake will get offended by it.

@@cocolefleur jesus

Get a grip lad you can joke about anything 🤣🤣

@James Cook not true

him stating that the other comedian wouldn't be able to do a gig in Liverpool again wasn't his opinion on the joke its his assumption on the outcome if the joke was used. he wasn't annoyed that he couldn't do the dead kid joke he was annoyed that his joke was rejected because of potential backlash by the same people who wrote the joke about Hillsborough, his problem was the double standard not that she could make a joke about Hillsborough

Well being told "no dead kid jokes" by the team is one thing to be told the other comedian has been given jokes by the team and one references a tragedy where there was dead children.....that's where he was pointing. He was in a way helping maisie maintain a gig in Liverpool without severe backlash.

The people responsible got locked up ?

He ain't pretty to look at but it's actually his face

Hes brilliant... u just dont have a sense of humour 🥴

that's what he said though, he even says that the other lass on the roast would probably never be able to do a gig in Liverpool if she ended up using that joke

Yeh that’s what I’m getting from him.

@@si_quest hes complaining about the double standard that the joke about Yorkshire wasn't okay but Hillsborough was
