Ok, have heard people go on about him but never really watched him. Watching him on telly and can't believe how crass he is and all those folk laughing - maybe have had a sense of humour bypass but fuck, how offensive and unfunny. Would be ashamed to be caught in the audience laughing. There's edgy but he isn't even funny.

Are you serious - he's great

TigOldBitties · 23/03/2013 00:41

I went to see his tooth fairy tour, he's really funny. I don't watch chatty man as I never like the guests.

What was he saying that was so awful?

WorraLiberty · 23/03/2013 00:43

Sorry but it might be better if you actually tell us what it was that he said, that you took offence to?

Other than that I can only add that imo he's warm, funny and makes me laugh.

Alan carr is brill are you sure it wasn't jimmy carr? He was on c4 after alan tonight - he is vile and unfunny.

RobbinyoureastereggsSparkles · 23/03/2013 00:46

I like him. We went to see him in his Tooth Fairy tour, he was so funny that DH nearly fell off his chair.

I like that he often pokes fun at himself. How did he offend you?

twitchycurtains · 23/03/2013 00:47

I love Alan Carr, he is v funny,, Jimmy Carr on the other hand is most definitely not.

Sorry folks, meant Jimmy Carr - that's what 3 glasses of red wine will do for you! It was jokes about Diana, cocks and cocaine as she died and abortion jokes. Apologies.

Jimmy is a vile disgusting tax evading fanny rot!!

He is worse than frankie boyle imo.

ThePathanKhansAmnesiac · 23/03/2013 00:55

Begonia Grin, i get all the names wrong, thats without the wine

Never seen the appeal in Jimmy Carr, shifty eyes as well if I may say.

WorraLiberty · 23/03/2013 00:56

Oh in that case YANBU

I can't stand his paedophile jokes and his stupid fake laugh.

sjupes · 23/03/2013 00:57

I just noticed you have bampot in your name - n.e scotland by any chance Grin

Only ask as that's where i am and it's a conversation staple to loads of people still Shock

TigOldBitties · 23/03/2013 01:01

I quite like some of Jimmy Carrs stuff, although his laugh is awful.

I like that he makes you, well me at least, laugh and then wince after. You know it's close to the mark but you laugh anyway.

Yes my fabulous name goes unnoticed! What the fuck was that with the fake laugh? Not joking when I say I haven't really watched him in flow before.

HazeltheMcWitch · 23/03/2013 01:13

That is his real laugh!

HazeltheMcWitch · 23/03/2013 01:14

I also love - and use the word bampot.
I'm from NE Scotland, but now live dahn sarf. Can't say it's caught on quite yet. But It Will!

WandaDoff · 23/03/2013 01:19

I think I remember reading an article once that said Jimmy Carr was bringing up his younger brother after their parents died.

I'm a bit tipsy so I'm not sure but I'll go & look.

Begonia we're in the west/central scotland too

sjupes · 23/03/2013 01:22

It will eventually! I tried my damnedest when i lived in lancashire to spread it but theres more scots than english in blackpool these days anyway!

WandaDoff · 23/03/2013 01:24

No I know nothing about Jimmy Carr at all I must be drunker than I thought Blush

Nirvana1999 · 23/03/2013 01:31

I don't like Alan Carr either. Although he's funnier on Chatty Man than he is on stand up, IMO if course. I had slight road rage and called someone a bampot the other day, my friend hasn't heard it before, it's my new name for her.

Jimmy Carr is a fud of the highest order.

WandaDoff · 23/03/2013 01:37

Bampot is right up there with Bawbag in my top 10 scottish sweary words.
