Jimmy Carr: His Dark Material

This was my first Jimmy Carr special and it is full of various types of (very cleverly written) one-liners that you'll either absolutely enjoy or totally hate. If dark and 'offensive' comedy is your thing, you should check this out. If you like standup but this style isn't your thing, stay away from this unless you want to get your BP high.

Dark humor is funny,but this was just not..not because I don't like this style,just because of the composition. Jokes after jokes without a storytelling..Also works too hard to create a shock effect. It was just tiring.

I was really unimpressed with Jimmy in this. It was boring and seemed a little desperate. And why are some comedians trying so hard lately to be politically correct? Doesn't that defeat the purpose of comedy? He made fun of everyone it's currently safe to make fun of, how brave and cutting edge. Someone should tell him he's in the wrong line of work. Maybe politics would suit him better.

Felt like I'd heard most of this material before and reeling out standard phrases ("Playing pool with a piece of rope") is lazy. One or two funny moments but when you have to signpost the joke is "career ending" - it probably isn't.
