Jimmy Carr

[Republik]

Is he being lined up to be the next Jonathan Ross?

ETA: by which I mean, his own chat show, various presenting jobs, multi million pound contract.

Best Jimmy Carr line ever:

"....throwing acid is wrong in some peoples eyes....."

What, being targeted by The Daily Fail, probably.

He's about as funny as a coronary...

God i hope not

this guy is soooo unfunny!!!! Absolutley no personality in his act at all! and as an interviewer.....just NO!

Any fool can deliver a one-liner written on a card. An idiot man's comic if you ask me. But thats just the style of comedy that i prefer. The classics like Pryor and Carling or Black.

I personally dont see what people think is funny about him.

Mind you, i am in the same bracket of people who dont find Russell Brand funny. I just find him irritating and non-sensical the majority of the time.

I like this one:

'I live near a special needs school. There's a sign outside saying 'Slow. Children'. That's not going to do much for their self-esteem, is it?'

Well, if this is turning into a Carr quote-fest:

"I'm not being condescending, I'm too busy thinking about far more important things you wouldn't understand."

"I had a survey done on my house. 8 out of 10 people said they really rather liked it."

"My girlfriend said she wanted me to tease her, so I said "Alright, fatty.""

"I have no problems with buying tampons. I am a fairly modern man. But apparently they're not a "proper" present. "Happy birthday, mum!"

Acording to the posts on here, pretty much every tv celeb is going to be the next Brand/Ross

I think Angus Deayton should do it. Everyone must have forgotten about his faux pas by now.

Jimmy Carr is very quick, and is at his best unscripted and doing improvised stuff, such as that program he did 'your face or mine'.

His stand-up stuff is reasonably funny, but I think it's his relatively posh voice coupled with the 'shock' comments that is the basis of his appeal.

Sign outside a kids special needs school says 'slow children'....that can't be good for there moral.

I liked:

"I will not be using vodaphone. I have no problem with their products or service; I just don't like their advertising slogan... "join Europes biggest Mobile Community." We all know that's the Gypsies!"

I'm a big Johnny Vegas fan, and I'd like to see him do it for maybe just one night as a stand in.

However... have you seen him recently? - he looks fairly smart and bit slimmer... also he hasnt been drunk the last few times I've seen him.

Doesnt bother me - I'm dyslexic... I find most stories I read have a marble at the end.
