Jimmy Carr is such an interesting and insightful person.
- Don’t mind the title, that’s only part of the interview.mort_
- I actually prefer his interviews to his comedy. He's still really funny mind.PhanLo
- @PhanLo same. His shows (while generally funny) are 90 minutes of standalone jokes.jagara
- He actually talks about doing more long form bits in his latest shows. Not that there's anything wrong with one liners... Steven Wright, Mitch Hedbergmort_
- I'm conflicted as used to find him annoying as fuck, but these interviews are really insightful.Ianbolton
- Yeah, that was a great watch, thanks. I'd seen a couple of snippets of it prior and had a mental note to watch it, but didn't, so very much thanks for the nudgeNairn
- I've said it before: I feel that I'm perceiving a massive increase in podcasts. I don't know if it's a Thing or perhaps I'm just paying more attention, butNairn
- ..it feels like internet/digital culture took a turn recently to really expand this old form. It's like late night radio, on steroids. Or something.Nairn
- I think the pandemic must have given podcasts a boost.mort_
- I get that, but I also wonder whether culture might be congregating around new visions of existing forms, almost reactionary to contemporary immediacy? Dude?Nairn
- lol. You’ve lost me there.mort_
- Likewise. I just get the impression that the long-form is coming back into fashion.Nairn
- This man is dropping so much wisdom! Impressive.Krassy
- It's because one-liners are much harder to write. Also, never cared for Carr. Never brings a laugh and he has the most smug-punchable face.garbage
- Oh and the whole thing of when he was making jokes about tax cheats while he was sheltering millions. Fraud, through and through.garbage
- But this interview shows how much of a fraud he actually isn't GarbageIanbolton
- If you say so. Aside from his crimes, he absolutely annoys me so I'll take your word for it.garbage
- hehe, an ex-friend loved Carr, so I grew to tolerate him and now enjoy his humour. Wasn't he contrite about his tax 'affairs' and THEN joked about it?Nairn
- The tax thing was a standard off-the-shelf service offered by a certain type of accountant back in the day and lots of people got caught up by itNairn
- I'm sure he knew he was gaming the system, but whether or not he thought he was doing anything badly-illegal, I don't know.Nairn
- I'd much prefer we set our gaze to cunts in parliament playing much bigger tax dodges with seeming impunity. Looking over at Rees-Mogg there.Nairn
- I think it was more that he was making jokes about tax cheats while being a tax cheat. And he's never made me laugh, but to each their own.garbage
