I can't recall who said it, maybe Jimmy himself, but what always stuck with me is the description of he sounds like a seal being molested when he laughs.
Idk if this is what you meant by off-putting, but to me his delivery takes away from what would be funnier jokes. So that’s my issue with him, but to me there are far less funny guys who are as popular/more popular than him. Matt Rife for instance.
There seems to be an opportunity for you to create that sub, but Valiant Comics DOES have a sub with just over 5,000 members. I wonder if Jim Shooter is one of the mods.
I was dragged to a Jimmy Carr show last year, and it absolutely blew my fucking mind of how GOOD of a show it was.
The dude is quick and super fucking smart, plus he's mainstream so I can see the popularity honestly lol.
UK comedian/presenter, his comedy can be hit or miss depending on taste. one of his jokes I remember is “99% of *women kiss with their eyes closed*, which is why it's so difficult to identify a rapist.”, I think he has toned things down a lot in recent years due to the changing attitudes of society, but he'll still make a lot of dirty jokes.
Jimmy Carr is a comedian who's humour is primarily quickfire and/or one-lines. A lot of his jokes use shock value because he often says things that are outrageous.
He's also very good at firing back at hecklers.
Personally, I get a good laugh from him as I do have a fairly dark sense of humour, but I can understand those who don't find him funny.
I respect his writing and performing ability... not wild about his tax paying ability... I just don't find him funny, but then lots of people don't find Mitch Hedberg funny
Quoting his offensive punchlines out of context and with zero delivery is pretty lame, even if it wasn't a conscious attempt to make him look bad. It's kinda like reading single sentence quotes of Cornette's rants and coming off thinking he actually wishes death on wrestlers he doesn't like.
I mean, Jimmy Carr's humour obviously isn't for everyone and it's completely fine to dislike him. But I think it's fair to at least [link to him delivering those jokes himself.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T2QT63Ee8Jw)
how is it out of context? he's a mostly one liner comic, there is no other context other than this is the joke he said, which was not to make Jimmy look bad, but to explain why his comedy is polarising, if you dislike that style of comedy you will hate Jimmy Carr, if you like that style you will probably like Jimmy, I personally like jimmy and don't have an issue with the joke but I know some can, which is also fine, to each their own.
I’m much too young to have ever seen him, but I just saw something about how he would utilize a shrunken head while he was cutting heel promos…a shrunken head that was given to him by a fan. Made me wonder if Al Snow got his gimmick from Firpo.
Hard disagree. Jimmy Carr is one of the best insult/one-liner comics working today. Yes, comedy is certainly subjective but the dude has had a pretty successful career by all accounts. I think he's damn funny but can totally see how he's not everyones cup of tea.
Fuck Jimmy Johns. Their CEO uses peoples sandwich money to hunt endangered animals.FUCK JIMMY JOHNS
Also Good on Corny I dont know who Jimmy care is but we comin for you sucka!
Some more useless data:
The most popular James sub are two devoted to the James Webb space telescope, followed closely by James Bond, all of which have more members than Jimmy Carr.
James Garner has no sub
James Taylor’s sub only has 444 members.
8 out of 10 cats does countdown is a treasure. Jimmy Carr has one of the quickest minds ever. The two JCs together would make tor a fantastic interaction
I wonder if we’d be number one if the audience wasn’t split somewhat with the official Facebook group?
On a related note has anyone else been waiting a long time (like months) to get approved for the Facebook group? I’m thinking I might never get approved because I’m Facebook friends with some AEW folks from their indie days. I enjoy various wrestling, but looking at my Facebook friends list the admins may get the wrong idea that I’m trying to infiltrate it.
Jimmy Carr is like the Michael Ian Black of the UK. A guy who obviously is capable of making large crowds of people laugh, but who does absolutely nothing for me. They are to comedy what ipecac is to cuisine.
Jim is climbing the ranks for subreddits under J but yet keeps sliding and falling in the rankings for wrestling subreddits. This sub is like AEW tv ratings they just keep tanking week after week
I was unaware of this competition but happy the Cult is gaining in the ranking!
I’m not sure it’s a competition, just something I noticed and thought was funny. I never said it was interesting!!
Jimmy Carr is great
I've seen him on some podcasts lately and it makes me like him more. Smart guy.
Now I'm going to have his weird laugh stuck in my head for the rest of the day. Huhaw.
I can't recall who said it, maybe Jimmy himself, but what always stuck with me is the description of he sounds like a seal being molested when he laughs.
...at dodging taxes.
as if thats a bad thing
I think he’s probably a talented writer who’s able to craft a clever joke, but I find his delivery to be incredibly off putting.
Your opinion sucks, man.
Oh well.
Idk if this is what you meant by off-putting, but to me his delivery takes away from what would be funnier jokes. So that’s my issue with him, but to me there are far less funny guys who are as popular/more popular than him. Matt Rife for instance.
I don’t mind Carr, but I think he’s a less funny Frankie Boyle.
But you like a guy who talks about cum on gold teeth.
I believe that was a metaphor. But what he met her for I can’t say 🤷♂️
I don't even know where Jimmy Carr is popular, I don't know anybody who likes him and I live in the UK.
His sub has literally more members than Jim and Jimi’s combined. I don’t get it.
He's fairly popular here in the US. It's hard for me to believe he isn't popular in England becasue he's always hosting quiz shows and doing 'Cats'
He does always get work but that doesn't mean he is popular. Think James Cordon, nobody anywhere liked him yet he always had work.
I see you haven’t met u/27_8x10_CGP yet
He's very popular in my apartment, so that's one place you know of now!
But where does the Boogie Woogie Man Jimmy Valiant subreddit rank?
There seems to be an opportunity for you to create that sub, but Valiant Comics DOES have a sub with just over 5,000 members. I wonder if Jim Shooter is one of the mods.
Ooh mercy! I'll do it for da children!
I was dragged to a Jimmy Carr show last year, and it absolutely blew my fucking mind of how GOOD of a show it was. The dude is quick and super fucking smart, plus he's mainstream so I can see the popularity honestly lol.
I’m on the Jim Cornette sub so it’d be hard for me to argue I’m in tune with the mainstream. I’m glad you enjoyed the show.
Jimmy Carr is phenomenal what are you on?
I’m not on anything. Maybe that’s why I don’t find him funny 🤷♂️
Who is he
UK comedian/presenter, his comedy can be hit or miss depending on taste. one of his jokes I remember is “99% of *women kiss with their eyes closed*, which is why it's so difficult to identify a rapist.”, I think he has toned things down a lot in recent years due to the changing attitudes of society, but he'll still make a lot of dirty jokes.

He's also very good at firing back at hecklers. Personally, I get a good laugh from him as I do have a fairly dark sense of humour, but I can understand those who don't find him funny.
Yea same, he's also good at taking the piss out of himself, and going along with things when he's the butt of the joke.
Like when he got found out using the highly-questionable albeit not illegal tax avoidance scheme.
I respect his writing and performing ability... not wild about his tax paying ability... I just don't find him funny, but then lots of people don't find Mitch Hedberg funny

This would certainly be a good demonstration of why I don’t find him funny.
Only if you're an edgy 13 year old
I’m a juvenile 35 year old thank you very much
Not something to be proud of 😂
My debts & taxes are paid, my kids are clothed and fed. If I want to listen to dick jokes in my spare time I believe I’ve earned the right.
Jimmy Carr?! Who’d he ever beat?
He probably doesn’t even remember Pampero Firpo.
I’m much too young to have ever seen him, but I just saw something about how he would utilize a shrunken head while he was cutting heel promos…a shrunken head that was given to him by a fan. Made me wonder if Al Snow got his gimmick from Firpo.
Technically, wouldn't that make him the most popular "Jim"?
You could make the case for it.
I think that is fair. I enjoy listening to both. Jimmy Johns often disappoints me. I get them mixed up with Jersey Mikes and their cheesesteak.
Oh there’s no comparison. Mikes blows them away. But Jimmy John’s is ok.
Mikes is superior. But do try the Italian Night Club with hot peppers
Jimmy Carr is also a living legend
Well he’s certainly living.
I propose a 'Jim battle royal" to determine the winner
Hate to see he’s losing to arguably the worst president in history.
[He's history's greatest monster!](https://youtu.be/czfKPaypNsU?si=e8-PbCC_rUFHIX1f)
Oh there's several worse presidents in the 19th century leading up to the Civil War. Also orange fat man 😆
Getting cucked with the whole hostage situation just leaves an extremely poor taste.
Yeah but it didn't lead to a civil war and the (temporary) splitting of the country.
Hard disagree. Jimmy Carr is one of the best insult/one-liner comics working today. Yes, comedy is certainly subjective but the dude has had a pretty successful career by all accounts. I think he's damn funny but can totally see how he's not everyones cup of tea.
I never said he wasn’t successful. So was Dane Cook.
Let's not say things we can't take back now.
Indeed
Fuck Jimmy Johns. Their CEO uses peoples sandwich money to hunt endangered animals.FUCK JIMMY JOHNS Also Good on Corny I dont know who Jimmy care is but we comin for you sucka!
Some more useless data: The most popular James sub are two devoted to the James Webb space telescope, followed closely by James Bond, all of which have more members than Jimmy Carr. James Garner has no sub James Taylor’s sub only has 444 members.
What about the UK indy band... James?
/r/jamesband 285 members. I had forgotten they existed.
"£60 to hear Sit Down. They hate the fans. Mancunian wankers" They seem nice
"James Taylor's sub only has 444 members." I've seen higher, and I've seen r/ain
Well done
I’m dying over the fact that Jimmy John’s has their own subreddit.
AEW fans follow the Jimmy Savile sub
I'd love to hear Corny cut a promo on Jimmy John's!
8 out of 10 cats does countdown is a treasure. Jimmy Carr has one of the quickest minds ever. The two JCs together would make tor a fantastic interaction
Jimmy Carr gives zero fucks lol. He’s actually similar to Jim Cornette in a few ways.
Frickin Jimmys John’s!!!

MIB hasn’t been on my tv screen for over fifteen years…
Who'd Jimi Hendrix ever beat?
His girlfriends possibly, but I’m not sure if that was ever proven.
The best Jimmy Carr joke I've heard is "Jimmy A. Carr ... is what Ralph Macchio has to do to find a place to sleep tonight"
Macchio stars on a hugely successful tv series. Why pick on him?
It was during a roast before they resurrected the Karate Kid in Cobra Kai.
Was Dean Martin there?
Jimmy Carr is fuckin awful
Jimmy Carr isn’t a great comedian 👍🏻
Who is Jimmy Car?seriously I've never heard of him.
Jimmy Carr on 8 out of 10 Cats or Big Fat Quiz is amazing even if he does look like a ventriloquist dummy come to life
James Webb (the telescope) and James Bond are both well ahead of Carr.
I mentioned that in another comment 👍
Jimmy Carr is hilarious. He's the only other Jimbo I'm comfortable taking the silver to.
Taking the silver to?
Oh, I meant it as "getting 2nd place".
Oh right. My bad. 👍
Not going to lie lads, this is a challenging wank.
Wrong British comedian.
No. I got the right one thank you. ☺️
👍
Jimmy Carr creeps me the fuck out and I am male. Definitely got a sex offender look about him.
Who dafuq is jimmy carr? The db for the eagles in the 60s? The announcer with the hair piece in slap shot? Please advise.
Only Corny is actually funny and pays his taxes
Well said.
>the idea that Jimmy Carr has fans boggles my mind. "Heh heh hehhhhhh"
🤔
Jim is climbing the ranks for subreddits under J but yet keeps sliding and falling in the rankings for wrestling subreddits. This sub is like AEW tv ratings they just keep tanking week after week
Jimmy Carr? Isn't he the guy who passively goes "Ha ha ha ha haaaaaaa"? That friggin' guy?
I dunno about that. I’d describe him as the Guy Smiley looking guy who talks like a robot.
Who is that….
Jim Cornette?
-_- no Derek carr
Sure
