Jimmy Carr actually describes himself as looking like "a Downs Syndrome Roger Federer."

looks more like a painfully unfunny, obnoxious douche to me

Cool story, bro. I happen to think he's very entertaining in an "I'm an asshole, I say what I mean and make no apologies" kind of way. There are other comedians who do that same thing, and some of them are people you've mentioned in defence of your comedic taste - i.e. Louis C. K., Frankie Boyle (to a ridiculous extent, though I find him hilarious), and George Carlin.

you know i just realised that in saying this about jimmy carr ive done the very thing that makes me hate jimmy carr. Im sorry FJ, ive let you down and dishonored my famiry. i'l become an hero now.

Aaaaaand, holy shit, you took responsibility and owned up to it. Mad respect, man. You don't see that too often on the internet.

gracias amigo. I do like the style of comedy i just don't particularly care for jimmy carr but i realised that its not my place to impose my opinions on other people who may find him funny especially when their was no pretense.

i am serious, although this isnt me being butthurt about religion, i just dont like the guy. hes worth roughly 12 million pounds and yet still evaded tax just because he could. Hes also one of those guys who just will not see things from other peoples perspectives. this post exemplifies his entire comedic standpoint. Instead of thinking 'hey, while i don't believe in the concept of religion i understand it gives a lot of people hope so why no let bygones be bygones? he goes for the cheap 'HURR DURR RELIGIONS FOR IDIOTS'

regardless of whether or not you find him funny, he is a major douche

okay pal go watch some bill hicks, george carlin or richard pryor and then try and tell me jimmy carrs a good comedian

it's called a personal opinion friend.
we all have em.
I don't like anime, but a lot of people on this site do.
you don't see me bitching about anime post.
in this instance it's best to ignore the post, and move on.

lets apply the same logic to anti-religion. If i cared any bit about thumbs ill just report an anti-religion post.

so you flag anti-religious post?
why?

hum.... meant repost. I have failed you all.

I know where youre coming from. I dont like ponies, harry potter, anime, avatar or doctor who (i can already feel the wave of red thumbs inbound) so ive learnt to deal with not bitching and just moving on. like you said we all have personal opinions and just this once i felt like voicing mine. I probably should have just skipped in hindsight.

yea opinions, and fj don't mix.
unless it's the opinion of the general community.

That's a cop-out. I've had tons of great discussions on here. The trick is not arguing from a single perspective, but instead trying to weigh multiple stances against each other, arriving at a thesis and addressing warrants and potential rebuttals, while still conceding limitations in logic or empirical data when applicable. That's more to do with debates than preference disparities, the latter being the case here, but I hear people use that same comment, "opinions and FJ don't mix," when talking about discourse sparked by actual issues, so I wanted to address it.

why do you think I didn't agree when he said I said I was wise...
I assumed he was new here so I gave him a quick tip.

That's not really the same thing as the exhaustive process of dialectic.

your vocabulary is too extensive for me...
I brained down for a second.
could you dumb it down for an american?

I'm American too. Use Google.

fuck that.
I honestly don't care what you said.
I was just trying to keep a conversation.

Very true. You are a wise beyond your years txsslg.

you are too modest sir

Almost all comedians are crude. That's what passes as funny in our society. Jimmy Carr is successful because he appeals to modern day audiences.

Justin Bieber appeals to modern day audiences and is successful for it. It doesnt stop people hating on him all over this site. Also i have no problem with crudeness, I Find comedians like Frankie Boyle hysterical, I just dont think Carr does it very well.

Looks like one of those, "there were funny comedians in the past, no one in the current time period is at all funny" kids.
