Yeah, I know, I read it, and the crowd laughed.
What does that say.


I'd have to imagine there was a wink in there somewhere. He must have a massive head on him to attempt a joke like that, thinking he could pull it off. I doubt it's because he loves slaughtering gypsies.

“When people talk about the Holocaust, they talk about the tragedy and horror of 6 million Jewish lives being lost to the Nazi war machine. But they never mention the thousands of Gypsies that were killed by the Nazis
No one ever wants to talk about that, because no one ever wants to talk about the positives.”

I saw Peter Kay a few years ago at the O2 and he did a huge 15 minute bit in the middle taking the piss out of Travellers and the audience lapped it up. It was horrendous.

My parents unknowingly went to a Jimmy Carr show years ago. To this day my dad loses his temper when he spots him on TV.

"That dirty fucking prick."

That's the only explanation

 

[seanc]

That's the only explanation

Must be his Irish parentage. You know what them lot are like when it comes to traveling folk.....WAHEY (knowing wink, you know what I mean)!

It's the kind of joke that some people would have told on these pages not so long ago. And I believe Carrs explanation was something like what we would have called "post ironic". Remember that?

Edit: I'm not saying that's a valid excuse in these current times. because it isn't.

Don't see why the outrage. Shit and offensive? Yes.
Cancellable? I don't reckon so
This is just on par with most of his darker jokes equally offensive and probably just as shit

statement A and statement B don't seem to match there.
maybe i'm missing context but all he seems to be going for is 'ho ho, gypsies died, ha ha' and the audience titter up their sleeves cos he's so *out there* with his humour?
if it had been bernard manning telling the exact same joke, people would have taken it as further evidence that he's a cunt.

Did people not think he was a prick already/

I have to admit I watched this show over christmas. I was more offended by the overall lack of laughs than any of the material.

Am I going to have to read David Baddiel's stupid fucking book?

That's my point.
People knew what they were getting when they bought a ticket.
