Imagine watching Jimmy Carr and having the audacity to convince yourself you suffer from karenitis, faux outrage brigade It's Jimmy Carr he's always been close to the edge.

Carr faced similar backlash following the initial release of the 2021 special, with many finding his jokes surrounding Travellers, Romany Gypsies and the Holocaust inappropriate or downright "offensive". People even went so far as to start a petition asking for it to be removed from the platform. https://twitter.com/JOE_co_uk/status/1491004874124840962?s=20&t=C3l7pRArMZ6E5GL5_mpagA ln fact, even Carr's own father has branded him a "shock jock" and "one sick comedian", describing a number of his jokes about his Irish heritage as "derogatory" and insisting he "crossed the line". But many people have also defended the comedian, insisting that jokes are jokes and "comedy is subjective" and that those who don't like his brand of comedy should simply not watch. https://twitter.com/bigmikescomin/status/1550204754940264453?s=20&t=Bl_55mXrI7CA3kdF8jpgjQLove Jimmy Carr. Like he says, it’s not that the subjects he’s making jokes about are funny, ie gang rape, disability, race, etc. It’s just words, funny words. ie...a joke He seems like a really nice guy Does meet &greets after all his shows &chats to anyone who wants to meet him
