Jimmy Carr: His Dark Material

This was my first Jimmy Carr special and it is full of various types of (very cleverly written) one-liners that you'll either absolutely enjoy or totally hate.

If dark and 'offensive' comedy is your thing, you should check this out. If you like standup but this style isn't your thing, stay away from this unless you want to get your BP high.

This is a top 10 special no doubt. Should go alongside some of the great specials of all time.

I've seen em all, he's a pros pro. Halfway through the special, he's such a G, he asks the audience to start heckling him. Carr puts the C in confidence, definitely rewatchable. A+

Another piece of Netflix garbage. Just stop paying this dude, he's just recycling old material. Bad jokes, making fun of the audience and feeling superior. Man is he annoying and tasteless. I liked his old stuff, but this is just a lazy money grab. AVOID!

To be honest, it was quite funny. Great one liners and good timing on the punchlines. The funnier thing to observe is how much this has offended the snowflakes who are usually so concerned about each and everything triggering them (right to the point of people not using pronouns in their display name). Loved it.

This is like the antidote to the lecture/sermon of Hannah Gatsby which the audience feels 'obliged' to clap/cheer for her because if they don't they are misogynists/sexists or whatever. Not because she is funny, in fact quite far from it. You can hear people 'actually' enjoy Carr's jokes and the groans when he pushes the boundary. Really good.

Nice to have more comedy on Netflix as we all need a laugh. Some contemporary jokes on the previous two years subjects like covid, vaccine, black lives matter, veganism. Brings up some good points on todays society with his dark humour. Carr has some jokes from previous shows but still hilarious nevertheless.

The new camera angle is a little annoying panning around him unnecessarily. Would have preferred to see the audience more when talking to them.
