  • for christ sake they should know by now jimmy carrs homour . they should ectspect his is goin to be offensive . he does not mean the jokes he ever tells. grow up and get a sense of homour .

  • they pointlessly kill brown people I the hope a rich man can become richer by stealing there oil.

  • these people risk their lives for their country the least he can do is have the decency to show his respect for the job they do.

  • I still dont see how small things can set off such ongoing anger, the wars being one, but this videos comments starting silly tiffs that escalate into threats. all i think is we should keep ourselves to ourselves and agree to disagree.

  • any soldier who heard this wouldnt give a fuck about the joke

  • So.... we can send young men to Afghanistan to have their legs blown the fuck off, but we can't take the piss out of them?

  • WOW I JUST HAD AN AMAZING BRAIN WAVE TO STOP ALL OF THE VIOLENCE:

    get the fuck out of Afghanistan.

  • mong.

  • Wow a comedian offends someone, shock horror.

  • Well He is a comedian

  • they aint fighting for freedom of anything there fighting for money

  • @fuckalluhoes91 Hardly, you complete cunt, I have a friend fighting in Helmand province.

  • @Elitepoosniff course there fighting for money u dont honestly believe theres any real threat from afghanistan or any of them countrys

  • @fuckalluhoes91 We are not fighting for money, there is not money in Afghanistan, 90% of Afghan money is from NATO country`s, When the Taliban where in power and if they do come back into power where letting Mujahideen from all over the world come to be trained in camps, that training was there to bomb our nations, all this came after Osama ordered a Jihad on America, now where fighting Mujahideen all over the world, we cant come out of war as we are so far into it.

  • @Elitepoosniff so far in it? u shouldnt of been no where near it to begin with and u wouldnt of been if there wasnt oil and such that the government could strip the country of. all this war is doing is lining the pockets of the federal reserve its not a war its just essentially murder

  • @fuckalluhoes91 That`s your opinion, but opinions next to facts mean shit, facts always win, we are out there so there not over here, do you want more bombings? where more than 10 years into the war in terror, we cant ever back out, in 2014 we leave Afghanistan to the Afghan ANA and the ANP. Then thats one less lawless nation that can be one big terrorist back garden.

  • @Elitepoosniff its not my opinion its the truth war is big money there no threat of terrorism 9/11 was set up by ur much loved government so they could start an unjustified war, same as pearl harbour was provoked and australia warned u about the attack which u ignored so u could go to war same as the lusitania in ww1 and the attacking of navy ship for vietnam. its all to line the pockets of ur mr rocafellas. y do u think americas been at war constantly. wake up

  • @fuckalluhoes91 Im British, not American...

  • @Elitepoosniff well sort it out then cos u come across like an american idiot

  • @Elitepoosniff and no one says there british u cant be from england scotland wales and ireland all together. foreign folk call it britain

  • @fuckalluhoes91 Are you fucking stupid? Im British, live in England, im an Englishman, as a United kingdom what even part of Britain you come from you can call yourself British or English or Welsh or a Scott or Irishman, so yes im British, or a Briton if you like, you need to go back to fucking school or go to college, because you obviously know nothing about the topics you are now bringing up. Good bye.

  • @Elitepoosniff on the contrary my dear cunt flap

  • @fuckalluhoes91 Boom! you don`t like being proven wrong by the looks of things.

  • @Elitepoosniff not at all, bellends say ''im british'' i never said u cant say it, u just dont, ur english. and ''boom'' grow up cunt flap

  • @fuckalluhoes91 Your dumb as fuck, and you have to learn some new offensive words, because us have used the same words twice, do you not know any more other than cunt flap? seems like you dont, Im British, go back to school.

  • @Elitepoosniff because us have used the same words twice? who needs to go to school?. ur once, twice, three times a cunt flap

  • @fuckalluhoes91 Grow up, get a fucking life and get laid for once in your little sad life that you mostly obviously have, sad fuck.

  • @Elitepoosniff grow up? ur names elite poo sniff, get laid? my names fuck all u hoes if ur gonna make ridiculous assumptions try to use the LITTLE knowledge u have. cunt flap

  • @fuckalluhoes91 You can not spell you save your life, and yes you need to act your age, look back at your comments, all you say is "cunt flaps" do you honestly not know any other offensive words? is your fucking vocabulary really that limited, and judging by your name, you`v never have gotten laid, as you are using discriminating words against Woman, which shows your frustration over that fact that no one want you. hate to be you...

  • @Elitepoosniff u can not spell u save your life? dont make sense cunt flap

  • @fuckalluhoes91 It does make sense you nob goblin! are you really that fucking dumb? its you not "u" and seriously please for once in your shitty little live learn some offensive words other than cunt flap, you have said it 5 times now, not once has it offended me, as I am not easy to offence, your profile says your aged 24? so you must have a job, or do you sit on your fat arse all day living of the tax payer? hmmm тупоумный маленький человек!

  • @Elitepoosniff as i am not easy to offence? dont make sense either. and yep living off the old tax payer mugs going to work like slaves. u cunt flap 

  • @fuckalluhoes91 *Offend, flip of the keys, easy to do, everyone does it, and I love the way you call me out for one mistake even though you dont know how to spell "you", and looking back on all the comments, iv out smarted you time after time, and the only thing your small mind has been able to come up with as a defensive word is "u cunt flap" and the only people you could be offending if woman, but you would`nt care because you love cock.

  • @Elitepoosniff ooooo yeah love a bit of cock right up my poo pipe, ur ever so smart do u haves writers cos i cant possibly compete with ur wit. loads of peeps write u get with the times its the 90s u square. u cunt flap

  • @Elitepoosniff calm down temper temper, if u did c me how would u know? and u wouldnt knock me out as i am a 7 ft tall big ard cunt. also i just think u need a big bloody cuddle dont u cunt flap

  • @Elitepoosniff last word

  • I don't see how its a bad thing at all. Infact i see it as a compliment. He's saying that our service men are soo great that even with legs blown off they are still good enough to represent their country

  • the best way to get over an injury like that would be through humor...

  • why do people have such a big problem with wars and the military. its a great way to clean out the gene pool, especially when the soldiers are young and havent started breeding yet! Let these fucking idiots kill eachother!

  • @JwayT I love your sarcasm

  • Christ, I love how untouchable the military forces are. At least they chose their profession - if you're born gay, or disabled, or ginger, you don't have that kind of choice. Everyone should just fucking relax. By which I mean both stop holding unnecessary prejudices and be able to take a joke as a joke.

  • I love the terrifying picture of Jimmy Carr they used :P

  • Heres a tip to any soldiers that were offended by this joke

    If you dont want to get your legs blown off

    THEN DONT GO TO WAR MORONS !

  • Offense cannot be given, it can only be taken.

  • I love the way the poster at biggening says 'for his sake, wear a poppy'. When it should read 'For The love of all mankind, Stop needless wars'!

  • For fuck sake. This is about freedom of expression. Comedy is about making light of the seriousness of life. Lest we forget that Jimmy has done lots of work for servicemen and women and this is EXACTLY the humour most of those people have. That's EXACTLY how they can do what they do. It was said, not on the street where anyone can listen, not even on telly where people have the choice to switch over, but in front of a live PAYING audience. People who find it offensive, DON'T WATCH IT! Easy.

  • Comment removed

  • Brilliant joke :-D

  • @1990Adamd cunt

  • @fuckalluhoes91 You do know that almost all soldiers actually really like this joke, right? So what's your beef?

  • @1990Adamd its a good joke ur the cunt

  • @fuckalluhoes91 And you're a very bad troll...

  • @1990Adamd whats with this troll shit? ur mouthy little cunt

  • @fuckalluhoes91 Ouch. My feelings. They hurt.

  • grow up it was a joke

  • i now feel sad for laughing

  • 0:12 for the punch line

  • So the spokesman said about protecting the right for Jimmy to say these types of things. But as soon as he does he's bombarded with criticism, and told its horrible to say these types of things. That, children, is what we call hypocrisy.

  • I'm a leg and I find this offensive.

  • I dont understand why the timing even matters. if people dont want to hear it, dont buy tickets to see Jimmy Carr! His stand up is surprising, and thats what you get when you go to any of his gigs.

  • oddly enough I heard that Jimmy Carr isn't resposible for sending teenagers to be killed and injured in war

  • @Omni315 You've made my day.

  • @Omni315 There young men not teenagers.

  • No joke is offensive. If we all thought like that, comdeians wouldn't be able to joke about anything. Take the comedy like a man bro's

  • Funny how they dont have a problem with the other offensive jokes his done

  • All's fair in comedy and war.

  • The more important question what's with the war in Afghanistan in the first place? Surely I can't be the only one that doesn't know.

  • Good on the first guy, he's got it straight.

  • Surely this is more of a compliment than anything else? It's saying that these guys are strong enough to carry on after such a devastating loss.

  • As an ex Parachute Regiment soldier I think that this is all crazy and blown way out of proportion! One of my mates in the reg who lost a leg in afgan would have found that joke funny I am sure!!

  • i was there and im also in the british army and i found the joke funny it is makeing light of a real problem i think people just get offended by anything now and at this rate when i go to see him nex time it will be an hour and half silence so no one gets offended !!

    keep it up jimmy youre a ledgend mate !!

  • Cont-roversy. It's pronounced Contro-versy.

  • Thanks alot, Buzz Killington. It was a funny joke, and not in bad taste, in my opinion.

  • With all the charity work Mr Carr has done for disabled and injured servicemen, some 'squaddie humour' has rubbed off on him.

  • If they sign the fucking CONTRACT they KNOW the RISKS they will TAKE and political members have come under offense, for what exactly?

    Brainwashing young angry men and women into fighting a staged war simply so the fat greedy corps and banks can make money from Opium and Oil?

    I guess its not that then is it.

  • @JohnMProductions well said mate

  • I also reckon the fact that people are offended at this(and others) joke is what would offend the people the joke is 'about'

    people treading on eggshells about peoples disability's is patronising

  • FFS people piss me off!! why see jimmy if you know he is offensive!?

    i mean ffs my friend(in a wheelchair) sat through his show while he was making jokes about wheelchairs etc, and she was laughing her arse off!!

    and i sat and laughed at a number of jokes that could have been personally offensive to me!!

    Every one has laughed at a joke that is personnally offensive to someone, so hypocritical!!!

    gahhh

  • I love how "offensive jokes" offend everyone other than the people they are about.

  • @pharimmer VERY true!

  • oh for christ sake its a fucking joke, like jimmy really means it its his job to tell jokes and if anything it makes light of the situation like us brits can, get over it

  • Should really expect this sort of humour from Jimmy Carr.

  • People are so used to taking offence at fucking everything that they didn't realise this joke wasn't offensive to wounded servicemen.

    The only thing offensive about this is the stupid people who are unable to analyse a joke.

  • Oh for God's sake get a backbone and a sense of humour.

  • Wouldn't be a good thing to say at an event held to respect war heroes but at a comedy show when you are the act? Then it IS appropriate.

  • you can see at the end the old guy is trying not to laugh...

  • haha, fuck soldiers they die blindly for reasons they dont fully understand. in my honest opinion not real bravery and huge stupidity. people need to see the bigger picture. how many innocent people have our soldiers killed? far more then what they lost themselves..... thats the truth!

  • @laceythepoon fuck soldiers? Are you fucking kidding me? It aint the soldiers who asked to go to war, we just do our job. We understand the reasons and we understand that they aren't very good reasons. When we go to war, we fight for the guy next to us and not the government that sent us there. So get a fucking grip before you post any more shit like that. Bet you wouldn't have the bollocks say "fuck soldiers" to some of my mates mourning families.

    As for the joke....fucking hilarious.

  • @freeexpression1 you've completely missed my point. you CHOSE to join the army. you should have expected you would have to do a governments dirty work. you can blab and blab about "how your just doing your job" but you signed up for it! but your right, i wouldn't say that to families mourning as it would be inappropriate. but i will say to the ones that are alive "are you a puppet for a cause you dont believe in?" you cannot deny that soilders kill innocent people! x

  • @laceythepoon my main problem with going off and defending my country is that it's inhabited by people like you. What are you standing up for exactly? At least some of us made a choice. You can sit on youtube and have a pop at soldiers all you like, but what are you standing up for by doing that?

    As for me apparently missing your point....you said "fuck soldiers". Where's your point there? You've got squaddies on here saying the joke is funny. All you've done is take a cheap shot at us.

  • @laceythepoon british soldiers dont kill innocent people you fuckin fool show some respect

  • @GEORDIELAD20 Utter bullshit. Of course civilians have been killed by British soldiers. The war in Iraq is not played out in a field where only soldiers go. Maybe you should have some respect for those murdered who signed no contract, weren't getting paid and aren't nationally commemorated.

  • @freeexpression1 just ignore him. He is from a group of left wing brainwashed wierdos. Full of self loathing and hatred of any acts of bravery because they reflect there own cowardice.

  • @0:35 "...who fought in Afghanistan to protect our freedoms..." Ah and there was I thinking it was an illegal invasion to further a shadowy, unilateral campaign of oppression and screwing the Middle East through corporate hegemony.

  • If you weren't fighting an illegal war, then there wouldn't have even been a joke to make!

  • Using Jimmy Carr's words here "Offense is taken, not given".

  • hows this offensive? soldiers in the army are ultra fit, soldiers that lose limbs will still retain that strength and/or fitness, this isnt insulting them at all

  • Most soldiers I know think the joke (including a large majority of injuried) find it funny.

    As we used to say in the Army ...if you caint take a joke ..you shouldnt have joined.

  • People using the fact that they're related to an amputee or soldier in order to go on about how offended they are is voided by the fact that there are plenty of amputees who loved the joke.

  • I think it was Richard Dawkins who once said, "oh, you're offended? who fucking cares!"

  • @mitchellele ...did he? ..

  • @Bristlehoth no, it was Stephen Fry. True story.

  • some people will take offense, some won't... was not to bad, he is known for this

  • @FMGbrien

    holy shit that was racist, you ignorant fuck. Just because someone is Muslim doesn't mean they bomb because they're just that backwards. That's like saying the holocaust was the Jewish peoples fault, because they're Jewish

  • I don't have my left hand and I think it's funny

  • put aside people may laugh at the joke, I believe its quite witted realizing that the war conflicts bring harm and amputees. He was pointing out that magnitude, which is an issue to think about

  • Mr. Martin Watkins of the Royal British Legion may look like your typical old, boring, stiff British army relic, but he hits the nail right on the head, and anyone who believes differently, should put his statement on repeat for a couple of hours.

    Aside from that: the joke only works because it shocks, and it shocks because these soldiers are in a dire situation. Only if you recognize that, you can truly appreciate the humour of it, so people who tell or like this joke are perfectly healthy.

  • I'm sorry, but part of "coming to terms" with something is being able to laugh, as it brightens the spirits of people and is an excellent medicine for anyone feeling down, whether you are depressed, or have lost a leg.

  • Hes a comedian its what he does makeing people laugh aboutsad things and why is he getting the full blame what about the houndreds of people tha laughed at the joke

  • a amputee soilder rang up a radio station and said the joke was funny and that no other amputees he new from the clinic he was atending where offended at that they all found it funny so people can stop trying to speak for people who can easily speak for them selves

  • I find this discriminating. Disabled people and amputees have as much right to be laughed at as anyone else

  • come on, it was a good joke, might have been in bad taste but was a good joke. why do we send so many young men to afghan? its full of dirty muslms who dont give a care in the world about anyone, they go around bombing us because there so backward in society.

  • this is the sort of joke a soldier would make- a limbless one at that. However, Jimmy Carr is a civvy cunt and isn't qualified to say such things.

  • @fragman08

    jarhead fanny much?

    hes a dark and satiricle comedian...this is the kind of stuff that he is fully entitled to say and anyone complainin about it (while the have every right to) need to get a life and/or a sense of humour...

  • @cfcdougiecfc1 Try reading comprehension. It helps you avoid coming off as the bastard offspring of Joey Deacon. Did I say it wasn't funny? No mate, I didn't. I said it was probably nabbed off a limbless soldier in the first place and this civvy wanker hasn't earned the right to repeat it.

  • @fragman08 im offended by your joke at mentally ill people....idiot end of the day with the still of jokes jimmy carr used and YOU used someones always going to get offended...

    and PS jimmy carrs joke wasnt a direct attack on the servicemen just the prevelance of the injuries however your comment is a direct insult to people with those conditions

  • @fragman08 This just in: In order to tell a joke about a chicken crossing the road you must escort a chicken across one.

    People are free and qualified to say whatever they want. Limiting that in any way is a slippery slope none of us want to approach.

  • @jboking of course he's *free* to, it just sounds like he nicked it from selly oak and it makes him look a bit of a fucking numpty.

  • @fragman08 I see where you're coming from. Just one request, could you describe a numpty?

  • @jboking "a) Someone who (sometimes unwittingly) by speech or action demonstrates a lack of knowledge or misconception of a particular subject or situation to the amusement of others. "

  • @fragman08 Thanks, that helps.

  • what jimmy carr said was funny as fcuk,  what was not funny was tony blair sending the boys of to a war based on lies.

  • @irishgeal1 totally agreed +1 from me

  • Why aren't these same people appalled by the actual war itself, for crying out loud?

    What a gormless bunch of brain-washed canon fodder!

  • its funny how people love MJ now that he is dead. when he was alive , these people definitly mocked him , it just shows celebs are worth more dead than alive. Ignorance is bliss

  • lol nice joke. It does my tits in when the press criticise jokes, there called JOKES for a fucking reason !

  • Only ignorant people mock him, and Jimmy gets mocked everytime someone looks at his face.

  • Jimmy Carr needs to get some balls, if people don't like his jokes they should fuck off and stop going to the show. Funny how I saw no controversy about his child rape gag. Stand up and fight the BBC is what comics need to do, everyone one of them needs to get up and leave right this instant.

  • Fuck right. It was a private gig, they knew what to expect, and the soldiers claimed he nicked the joke off them. I'm sick of people apologising for things they really shouldn't.

  • LMAO why are people so retarded

  • I think it's lame that the news needs to make a big story about something that really shouldn't even be debated. It's comedy! There are people out there saying worse things and those people actually MEAN IT, they aren't just trying to get a laugh.

  • nobody laughed at this maliciously. Like "haha look at you, you're all fucked up". More like "Oh no he didn't hahaha".

  • i hate how people interviewed keep saying 'we're over there fighting for freedom of speech'.... im fairly sure we're not

  • ah fuck off he's one of the most rudest and unforgiving comedians there is,if they dont like his material dont go see him,jimmy carr is fucking hilarious end of.....

  • I tell you what is a joke is that these service organisations like the guy in this vid saying the soldiers in Iraq are dying for our freedom. WTF? How are they dying for our freedom? Even if you believe the reasons for going to war non of them were to do with us being invaded or losing our rights to free speach. It just goes to show that even they have no fucking idea why we are fighting.

  • biggest over reaction of last year

  • Jimmy Carr is an ugly, unfunny, nasty twat. As well as this he dared to say he doesn't give a fuck about the King MJ, well Jimmy no one will give a fuck when you do.

  • whats so bad about that people just dont have a sence of humor in the world.everybody has to be so politically correct,just look up red foxx or don rickles back in the day every one laughed at their jokes but now people critisize them. if u dont have a sence of humor you take yourself to seriously and that can be a really bad problem

  • I have got a sense of humour, I just think Jimmy Carr is an ugly, unfunny, nasty twat .........

  • he made a joke about MJ saying he didnt give a fuck when he died u take him to seriously which means u dont have a sence of humor

  • I love MJ and hate Jimmy so i'm not going to find that funny.

    I do have a sense of humour , not everyone has to find the same things funny that you do.

  • ur not getting my point, im saying you dont have a sence of humor because even though u love MJ so much u think anything said about him is a crime. my cousin got murdered when i was in the 5th grade my freinds know and even though sometimes they make jokes about her i dont get upset because i have a sence a humor. i know they are just trying to get a laugh and im not going to get mad at them because laughing is one of the best things for u anyway.

  • what do you find funny then. child sex if you're an mj fan i assume.

  • Mj was totally innocent. If you look in to those cases the scheming father put in a negligence claim so mj's insurance was forced to pay out.

    MJ was a good person who was loved by millions.

    Two things you, and Jimmy Carr, will never be.

  • yes and michael always gets mocked by millions, me n jimmy carr wont. =]

  • If they make jokes about that they are not friends.

  • see thats were the sence of humor part comes in i dont take myself so seriously which means i never get mad at anything really. i dont know why the world is becoming so politcally correct but i truly dont like it all

  • Lol MJ. I only wished that half-nigger died a lot sooner :D

  • Fuck off you evil bastard. MJ was the greatest. You and Jimmy are nobodies.

  • No one in the world is anything you fucking tool.

    I hope your children get raped by a fat sweaty negro.

  • I have no children wanker. Mj had both white and Native American ancestry. Rot in hell you evil bastard.

  • Hahaha. :D Hell isn't real, therefore I can not rot in it.

    You are amusing. xD

  • i like how politicians can criticise jimmy carr's joke when the majority of them are twats themselves and its a joke its not a true belief i know quite a few people in afghanistan who are fighting for us and i am truly thankful for the work they are doing out there which allows me to go outside without living in fear :)

  • i'm an amputee. funny man. funny joke. people need to stop being so fucking sensitive and man up.

  • im not an amputee but i agree with you completely when people take everything so seriously and have to be so politically correct it ruins life.

  • ha ha..just heard the joke very funny. anyone complaining needs to find a sense of humour.

  • MacolmX - you twat!

    Have some respect for our armed forces. What's wrong with you?

    I'd say it was clear you're not English, and if you are you're a waste of space and do not deserve to live here. Go and join your brothers in Afghanistan, Iraq or North Korea.

  • Fool.

  • They were amputated for nooooooothing, and they were killed for noooooooooooooothing as well

  • It was a funny joke.

    The joke isn't gonna change what happened.
