Jimmy Carr

[Man_City_Loyal]

Worth bearing in mind this joke didn't even cause a ripple for nearly two months on Netflix. It was then posted as a clip on social media and here we are. I wonder if cancelling Jimmy car would improve the world as much as cancelling Twitter etc. I think being offended online has replaced religion in an increasingly secular society.

even longer since he filmed it aswell.

Main news worthy now, every channel now running it as a headline item.

Bluemoon forum, the front line to getting comedians cancelled

Even if their appearance results from personal choices?

He has often made jokes when appearance isn't a personal choice such as when he's poked fun at the disabled and Becky Adlington.

It is cheap humour and for the immature.

Not sure what life choices you are referring to but if it's regarding weight then I also think fat shaming is a cheap form of humour. I'm not overweight but I find fat shaming horrid and cheap.

I'm not a miserable fart either but mocking one's appearance is just easy comedy. Yes comedy is subjective and we all have different tastes. What is funny to some people isn't to others.

I'm just highlighting the hypocrisy of Boyle where he is portrayed by the BBC as a guardian angel of the left when in reality he is a nasty c*nt.

Like their behaviour you mean?

Sort of where I was heading.

Of the 10 last stories you can remember regarding travellers, how many were about them taking over a field and committing crime around there?

It‘s probably 9, with the other one being Jimmy Carr’s joke.

Hence why people feel the way they do about travellers.

Sadly this.

Someone mentioned Viz' headline, I know not if it is true or anecdotal but I heard that the traveller who had taken offence at the suggestion that his community was light fingered was subsequently found guilty of theft.

Maybe the travellers deserve better and on the whole are law abiding but there seem to be a lot of tales that say not.

I just don’t think we ever hear about the good side of them, unfortunately.

Lol.

Given the bad press they clearly don't deserve maybe a charm offensive would go some way to improve society's perception.

They could try tidying up after themselves.

Perhaps Tyson Fury could do an “At home with the” series once he’s knocked out Joshua.

Was watching Ricky Gervais stand-up last night from 2008 at Madison Square Garden.

He mentioned something along similar lines, mentioned six million Jews dying, asked how the fuck the Nazis didn't find Anne Frank sooner?

He's been to that tiny house (so have I) and he asked how the Germans didn't hear her working? All the time, mimicking using an old typewriter and moving the page bar back cross.

I thought it hilarious, as did the New Yorkers, but maybe it was a different time for a different generation?

He also took the piss out of teenage cancer victims, but Ricky's construct and set up are unmatched in my opinion?

I think people have lost the ability to laugh at themselves. Everything is serious business these days.
