Playing devil's advocate here. Does anyone think there should be any repercussions over this at all? Show edited to remove the joke? Show pulled? Jimmy Carr pulled from Netflix etc? Just wondering. I am guessing that if enough people kick up and cancel their subscriptions, Netflix will pull...

Just read that article. Is that really his level of joke. 😳😱

May well be right. It always hits harder when it is closer to home.

It's all about context though isn't it, as has already been said. Jimmy Carr must have cracked (or made aside quips) around 150-200 jokes in this show. This is just 1 of 200. Point is, he made jokes about everything. You would have more of a point if he felt he had to resort to this type of...

Damn. Tried to delete in time, as I just saw your quip. Grrr. 😂

It's a very tricky one. I remember Ricky Gervais saying something about when he does a gig, if there are 1,000 people there watching him, some people in the audience will have recently lost a loved one. Should he then not make any jokes about death? It's hard to get the balance right.

What I just said

But then the joke wouldn't have worked would it. That was the whole point of the joke. We always talk about the millions of Jews that died, but so many other minority groups hardly get a mention (I didn't find the joke funny, as I already said) And the hypocrisy of some of these MP's is...

All aboard

Why was it a celebration of genocide? Good grief.

No. He's got better hair.

🤦

Just what I read. People saying he's a nice guy in real life. 🤷 Maybe he's nice to some people and horrible to others. 😂

Why is everyone offended now though? All this time after. There is word of mouth, there is social media, there is the press. 🤷

Understatement of the year.

Yes, I remember it now. I didn't find it funny, but then wasn't really offended either. It's Jimmy Carr, it does what it says on the tin. Not as if it would have been totally unexpected is it.

Reminds me of Life of Brian a bit, because lots of people were deeply offended about that and they hadn't even seen it

Oh well, it's only a fiver, Daz, don't worry too much about about flushing it down the toilet right now.

Weird isn't it. The show has been available to stream for some time and yet now all of a sudden it all blows up and everyone is offended. Why weren't they offended when it was first released? 🤷

No and I remember Jimmy Carr making a joke about the holocaust, but for the life of me, I can't remember what it was.
