  • He actually made the crowd on Conan laugh. That proves he's amazing.

  • Notice he never ONCE mentions politics? Jimmy Carr > American comedians

  • Great video, shame the quality is a bit low :(

  • who's that at 3:49?

  • that sound at 0:46 is beautiful!

  • 'Not everyone wants their special day ruined by a gimmick...but some people do!' XD

  • What's with all the hate??

  • "OHHHHHHH!"

  • christian slater? wtf?

  • I'm from the states and I think Jimmy is hilarious. His uncensored routines are brilliant :)

  • That bit with the letters about cats and smarties tubes was unbelievable.

  • I have to say, Jimmy is always quite a snappy dresser. Not many comedians have that sense of style and consistency.

  • Loll i love the delayed laughter from the americans.. takes them ages to work out a joke in the audiences. I also notice Jimmy Carr slowing his jokes down an awful lot when in america.

  • @shadowsenzor being an American, I'm a bit saddened by how true your words ring...but I love Jimmy Carr

  • Loolll those americans get his joke when he finished his next joke.

  • Why did he say '.. from London, England'. If he hadn't added in the England part, would these people be thinking 'London...that's China isn't it?'

  • @mc4566 Could have been London, Ontario. Just saying...

  • americans are slower to get his jokes

  • @BlueJellyzhn Umericunz, per se, are slower to get anything.

  • Jimmy Carr, Frankie Boyle, Jason Rouse and Jim Jeffries...

    The best Stand-Ups in the world!

  • jimmy is wasted on americans! they dont have a clue

  • @oasis4ever92 An ironically ignorant statement about ignorance.

  • @blacksabbathgnr098 not really. half the people over there dont get his humour. YOU may be part of the minority who appriciates him. i appriciate you for that

  • @oasis4ever92 The vast majority of Americans aren't nearly as dumb as the media portrays us to be. I'm sure they could understand the humor, but they may not appreciate it. Or more likely, they don't know who Jimmy Carr is.

  • @blacksabbathgnr098 And that's because Americans, the majority, are dumb'.

  • @carriemaizey So anyone who doesn't know who Jimmy Carr is is dumb?

  • @blacksabbathgnr098 CORRECT. Now that was easy wasn't it ....

  • @blacksabbathgnr098 Just the remark by Leno 'London, England says it all, along with Paris Fraaaaaance) LOL! Fuckwit Septic tanks - what we call you, rhyming slang for Yanks. Geddit?).

    OOOOh and EYErack and EYEraaaaan. Scary, when you consider you Umericunts 'puppet president' has no, wait, haha, lol, 'finger on the trigger'.

    Fuckwits.

  • @carriemaizey Are you slow?

  • @oasis4ever92 Again. CORRECT.

  • @oasis4ever92

    As an American, I sadly must agree.  It's quite embarrassing to see how shtick, P.C. and laugh tracks have dulled our collective sense of humor.

  • @oasis4ever92 They probably don't understand what he's saying ^^

  • @oasis4ever92 FUCK YOU

  • @2124Exodus go "jerk off" you yank slag

  • first of all, who cares who invented stand-up?

    but, the first clubs were in america-- clubs like the bitter end and others in NYC were proving grounds for comics after the vaudeville era had ended. additionally, orators like Mark Twain are arguably the first MODERN stand ups, obviously there were tons of comedians in ancient greece (arguably the culture that came up with the idea of comedy itself)'

    stop bitching, though, and enjoy the comedy! why must everything be a goddamn debate?

  • possibly Ireland's greatest ever comic

  • What's with the miss-placed US hatred? It says more about Brits than it does Wanks... I mean Yanks. Sorry, I thought I was Jonathan Ross for a second.

  • Dumb americans lol

  • I love how so many people go like "... I am American and I am soooooooo offended..."

  • I Love How The Brits Commenting On This Video Are Just Taking The Oiss Out Of The Americans, and Not One American Has fought Back.. Im not saying thats a good or bad thing, just doesn't happen very often..or vice versa

  • Hmmm while there is still a fairly large difference in how most Americans and British use sarcasm, humour...self deprecation, that sort of thing. The internet and the globalization of info in general is staring to chip away at many of these differences imo.

  • @SinergyWave in my opinion as well, our great great grand kids may not even know what an accent is

  • Americans r too DUMB

  • Why are people talking about americans not "getting british humor"? 80% of our television is just recycled british ideas. Apparently has been for a while now.

  • Of course most Americans aren't going to get a lot of British jokes, most Americans knowledge of the royal family is that Diana's dead and the queen is old. Unless we watch a large amount of British media we won't understand jokes about northerns, political parties, NHS, AA, or dogging.

    It's British jokes that a lot of Americans don't understand, not British comedy. It doesn't matter how funny a joke about Obama meeting prince Philip is, if you have no idea he's a massive racist.

  • @thunderchops Well...we might not get your jokes...But we always do get that biggest joke of your country...'The Royal Family'. When are you going to get over that archaic hangover?

  • just that one guy at 0:46..."OHHHHH!!!"

  • americans........*raises eyebrows*

  • OMG AMericans don't geT Himmm..

    Please stfu, we get him, and love him. Sorry we aren't laughing as hard as the British.

  • they're not too bright the yanks, the gov likes to keep em dumb so they're easier to control

  • I think they are too easily offended over there....

  • his "smarties on cats legs" anagram is amazing... smart man

  • I'm American and I get British Humour, I also prefer it over American Humour.

  • @lifescomicrelief same here! I mean, it's not like we're all that different... some americans just give us a bad name (lol no offence)

    Have you heard of the brittish comedian Eddie Izzard? He's one of my favs.

    :)

  • @lifescomicrelief Me too. :D

  • @lifescomicrelief If you were American you'd have spelled it 'humor'.

  • @Slipknot808 Unless you knew you were talking to British people and didn't want to have that spelling argument with strangers on the internet ever ever again.

  • im american, and jimmy carr and Ricky Gervais. are the best. i cant stand it when people dont get the humor

  • fuck americans if they dont get it.

  • I'm American and Jimmy Carr is one of my favorite comedians of all time! I think I need to move to the UK!!! British humor is the BEST!!! :)

  • @richie30071984 facepalm.jpg

  • I prefer Lee Evans but Jimmy Carr is funny as shit.

  • I love Jimmy, he's so lovely.

  • British Comedians are awesome

    but American Audiences are something else! <3

    They are quite entertaining.... think everyone just wants a bit of stardom in the US ;)

  • Thumbs Up If British Humor Is The Best!

  • that last joke about applying yourself - would've gone over most American viewers head. brilliant British comedy.

  • In every country there a good and crap comedians. Yes, UK has Monty Python, Carr, Bill Bailey, among other, but don't forget the likes of Richard Pryor, Dave Chappelle, Eddie Murphy, Flight Of The Conchords, Adam Hill... The list goes on. A funny guy is a funny guy, who cares about background. Humour is like sexuality: You can't decidewhat turns you on, you're just born with it.

  • @Knoh dont forget don rickles

  • British Comedy is easily the best humour in the world, Jimmy Carr, Frankie Boyke, Russell Howard, Michael McIntyre etc... how amazing is British Comedy???

  • @BowMowChicka Britain birthed Monty Python.

    I don't need to say anything else. It's pretty damned amazing.

  • @BowMowChicka dont forget eddie izzard! :D

  • (off topic) Jacque Fresco- Search for Venus Project & Zeitgeist Movement! Beyond Poverty, Politics, Crime & War. A world w/out Money, is it even possible? Stop the Greed w/in the Government ! (Links are in my page!!) Act Now before it's to late !!!

  • the americans really don't seem to get his humor

  • sounds like a couple of people were fucked in the ass when he said "i won't accept it if you fuck me in the ass"

  • i adore america, but english comedy is amazing x

  • i love this man

  • classic jimmy carr

  • @BogusBoy2121 If you hate him so much, why would you be in the audience anyway?

  • As for the American below that stated Americans are stupid, maybe you should hang out with some smarter friends. Americans embarrassed by Americans. UK & US forever, a former colony unites but never forgets. May the worst days be behind us and the best days cant come soon enough! Cheers!

  • I am really fascinated by the commentary on Americans from the UK. They really repeat the same sentiment over, Americans are fat, loud and stupid. It gets old and the UK has a problem with being fat too namely those pictures of mummies sneaking junk food to their children on school grounds, so sad. Friends dont let friends eat their way into having to buy two airplane seats instead of one. As for the Americans they probably were not used to Jimmy's distinct style/comedic timing.

  • lmao listing his sexual partners

  • Lol he is damn funny guy.

  • put smarties tubes on cats legs make them walk like a robot... im actually crying from laughter

  • he's irish

  • Who gives a flying fuck where he is from you are such a retard!!!

  • As long as it is funny, who cares.

  • I love the fact it takes a while for the audience to get the joke. Stupid Americans.

    xD

  • JIMMY CARR FOR PRESIDENT OF U.S.A !!!

  • He is British he should become the british prime minister!!!

    he is our comedian not yours lol

  • actually he is from limerick so he could be the irish PM too so ha lol

  • lol but would he? lmao!!!

  • born in ireland= irish. you retard

  • i never said he wasnt u fucking stupid little cock, if you read my sentances correctly i said would he? as in would he want to be the irish PM who is the fucking retard erm? o yea YOU!!!

  • no what m8?

  • I cannot be arsed with this anymore, at the end of the day Jimmy Carr is a great comedian, I couldnt give a shit where he was from, I like his jokes get over it, he's from ireland ohno!! lmao like i said who gives one

  • @suetube1000

    what r u on about?

  • Jimmy Carr Lee evans Jo brand Jack Dee Lee evans Russell Howard Jason Manford Are all BRITISH legends, So you Americans that think British are thick, not funny etc Well you obviously have not watched these great comedians. I'm proud to be British Fuck the Americans!!!!!
  • british comedians are hilarious! unfortunately, most of us americans are simple, and prefer the low-brow humor of larry the cable guy (how many times can a fart be funny?). but some of us americans can appreciate intellectual humor! just check out carlin, or bill hicks.

  • America invented stand-up so in that regard they have a lot to be proud of. Something I noticed about American comedy is that the funny ones don't get on TV... I've seen some good American acts in clubs. But yes I do tend to prefer British. And I say this as a neutral New Zealander.

  • Americans did not invent stand up!

  • @murasakiryu actually Ameicans invented everything.

  • @waitingformypopcorn Yes indeed, everything younger than three hundred years ; )

  • @waitingformypopcorn you spelled china wrong

  • @waitingformypopcorn including obesity

  • you may want to check with the early greek playwrights.

    and the long tradition of stand up in england, that they exported to america.

    Just because they do it a lot, does nt mean invention.

    Imean, people were rooting sheep long before NZ was discoverd.

  • @deadwombat02 fuck you us kiwi folk dont fuck sheep

  • @deadwombat02

    Could've been a Jimmy Carr joke right there.

  • @deadwombat02 thats a hilarious joke mate. its funny how aussies think new zealanders are sheep shaggers yet australia has more sheep? (40mil - new zealand. 80mil - australia.)

  • @legweakdotcom Look at it per capita.

  • @legweakdotcom most of us actually don't. most of the world recognises kiwi's as the most humble and sweet people in the world but as usual; a bad stereotype is what will get publicised, as opposed to a good one

  • lol

  • @suetube1000

    Who said anything about the British?

  • All im saying is that i prefur britsh humor to american and i had an email saying that british comedians are shit who watched this video. I dont understand why people have to be 'shit' because they dont like them, everybody has there own opinion and i prefur propper jokes not just pathetic toilet humour jokes or fart jokes like the americans. Thats not comedy thats just childish and i dont find the humour in fart jokes, everybody farts how is that funny????

  • Fuck you, asshole. There is a list of great American comedians as well. George Carlin, Lewis Black, Richard Pryor.

  • I DON'T CARE!!!!

  • You're dumb.

  • Why Thankyou

  • Is it me or do americans laugh in a different was to the english? they just sound really different

  • yeah, that might have something to do with the different accents....

  • They do don't they, now thats comedy right there with the laughter

  • the QI one is the best

  • Yeah you probably not which doesn't mean you are civilized enough you potato eating bunch of wankers!

  • Heres an idea why don't you say "A LOT OF AMERICANS" Cause I'm American and I get British humor and I have quite a few friends who do as well.... WE ARE NOT ALL DUMB SARAH PALIN WORSHIPERS!

  • I'm an American and I'd rather toss myself into a pit of lava over voting for that dumb cunt.

  • tossing off into a pit of lava would be super cool

  • @Vektruscen

    Trying to be funny, are we? I'd vote for him over you any day.

  • Sarah Palin is a woman you fucking moron.

  • American's are slags, sorry mate. Cheers.

  • @buttersworth13 Surely that's why you say "a lot" and not "All" ....Just a thought

  • americans don't get much of the British humour... I don't know why?! British humour is the best :)

  • Americans Are Fuckin Idiots. Comedy Is Comedy Its Fuckin funny either way

  • @latindancer4ever i agree and im from the U.S

  • @latindancer4ever i agree and im from the U.S

  • @theboywithwings How can you agree with anything comming from a person by the name of "Latindancer4ever"?

  • @latindancer4ever

    this american's favorite kind of humor is British, by far

  • @latindancer4ever yeah the world cup

  • @latindancer4ever american humor seems to be always a stage behind british

  • @latindancer4ever because there are certain implications that only the british know about. like if i were to start using american slangs, british people would understand

  • @latindancer4ever wouldn't

  • his humour is verry simalar to the late great bob monkhouse.....ie verry inteligent

  • Americans don't get him at all

  • @Nogert Some of the stuff I don't get, but most of it I do. The only times I don't get it is when he's joking about some British cultural thing that most Americans wouldn't know about. That's really the case with any culturally different type of humor.

  • 7:59 Oh Parky love, time to give it up.

  • haha yeah. it's only a matter of time till he actually has parkinsons

  • gotta love jimmy carr

  • 1:22 is that robert webb?

  • yh on the tandem its rob and the other woman from peep show and that mitchell and webb look

  • yea he did and i don't know why u got minus 6

  • he is a funny guy.

    but the quality of the video really sucks ass.

  • JImmy, whenever I am feeling too pissed off and stressed through spending too much time making money you always make me laugh!

  • happy birthday mum LOL

  • Is that Roger Federer?

  • LOL, it does kind of look like him :o

  • Yeah he does lol

  • Brits are infinitely more funny than Americans.

    Love George Carlin though!

  • CARLIN was my hero.

    ~~

    From YORKSHIRE, England.

  • He's irish! Nub

  • Irish are the funniest of all.

  • not irish

  • I think they suck equally except for a group of about four or five iconic comedeans.

  • I don't like when people say this, basically both countries have great comedians, its just there is more of a filter in Britain that means only the better comedians are successful but in America it seems any jackass with a joke can get famous.
