Does that not qualify as a joke about rape?

I feel as though I`m being raped when my GP checks my prostate.The fuckers got fingers like Cumberland sausages.
The taste? It's probably what you had for dinner last night. Next time ask him to put on fresh gloves before he gives you an oral exam.

Yes, he has literally said you can’t make jokes about rape and then made a rape joke in back to back comments.

Viewing figures through the roof. I remember the Viz had to withdraw a comic strip called Thieving Gypsy Bastards. It was really funny, but not, I would imagine, to the Travelling Community. That was years ago. I havent heard Carrs material, but I doubt I will be chaining myself to Buckhouse to demand Liz gets all medieval on his ass and lops his plastic head off

I like to think it was...That's comedy....suspending disbelief, just like magic, or watching the BBC for any length of time...Yes but wasn't that actually true as well?

I meant as in that they deliberately went looking for people with learning difficulties, morons and people with substance abuse and/or mental health issues.
The worst part of that show was Graham and his insincere bollocks about aftercare and helping people move forward. Of course it was all for PR purposes. Even knew it was just a freakshow, that's why it was popular.
Some genuine fucking idiots on that show using lie detectors for family friends they had accused of stealing fivers or tenners.
Either get over it or tell em to fuck off if you don't trust their denials.

I surprised my missus by applying for tickets for TJKS after she finished uni...She went with her sister and said it was a top laugh and Kyle was indeed a ****...They noticed how scrawny he was and a how his suit seemed to be fluffed up a bit to compensate. When it was aired the camera cut to my missus and her sister pissing themselves laughing at what ever was going on...I meant as in that they deliberately went looking for people with learning difficulties, morons and people with substance abuse and/or mental health issues.

For a Netflix show that many claim didn't pick up as many views as they would have liked, it seems the talk of the town right now. The old 'no such thing as bad publicity' phrase rings true here.
Bottom line, Jimmy Carr says something dodgy and on the edge. Who would have expected that Uh? Those 'offended' knock yerselves out feel as offended as you like, it's your 'right'. Also mine not to care one single jot too :D

It's not about being "easily offended" or being a snowflake. Of course we've all laughed at jokes we probably shouldn't have in the past but there are some things that aren't suitable to joke about and that's one of them.Rape obviously, but as a disabled person I don`t take offence even when fuckers on here tell me I`m a crippled old fart.
As I said why go to shows or watch anything where you are easily offended.
Let's recast that "joke" to a different context. "Yeah the famine in Afghanistan/war in Syria (or Yemen) is terrible but at least there's fewer Muslims". Or "Yeah, slavery was awful but at least there were fewer black people to migrate from Africa". Or even the joke he told, but substituting Jews for Roma. He'd probably be prosecuted under Hate Speech laws and, if he'd said the first one, he'd probably be under armed guard for the rest of his life.
Between 200,000 and 300,000 Roma and Sinti people were murdered during the Holocaust. The night that the so-called Gypsy Camp in Birkenau was liquidated, in early August 1944, was apparently one of the most horrific, even in a place where unimaginable horror was a daily occurrence.
To think that Carr is effectively saying that a whole group of people who, due to the parents they were born to, aren't worthy of life, or that it's quite acceptable to murder them is completely off the scale. It's ot "edgy" and is far, far worse than suggesting young, healthy people don't need the vaccine.
No count we'll get the usual mealy-mouthed "I'm sorry if I offended anyone" apology. The problem is that the people it most offended were gassed and reduced to ashes over 75 years ago.
