Jimmy Carr and Comedy

Jokes crack me up. I love them. I grew up on Monty Python. On TV, of course. Sadly, I’ve never been to a comedy show. Thankfully there’s a truckload of comedy shows on the internet. I could spend hours watching a lot of mindless stuff– and I do.

Today I spent a few hours listening to a few of my favorites. Ricky Gervais and Jimmy Carr top that list. Jimmy Carr is not an idiot. Therefore he doesn’t do jokes on Islam.

But he does do jokes on Christians, and on Catholics. He probably doesn’t know anything about Hinduism and Buddhism. Which is probably why he doesn’t do jokes on them. Here’s a brief compilation of his religious jokes.

Carr evidently has a very high IQ. He thinks on his feet.

He’s not above being genuinely kind.

Clearly, he has considered the idea of progress carefully.

His interactions with the audience — particularly hecklers — is invariably brilliant.

JC is an atheist. I think there’s a pattern there. All great comedians are atheists. John Cleese, Ricky Gervaise and others.

Enough of Jimmy C. How about this?

That’s it for now. Cheers.
