[QUOTE="ncurd, post: 1074314, member: 72205"] I've seen a lot on the Carr thing from comedians I follow on twitter, although I don't follow any of 'out' right-wings ones but I subscribe to Nish Kumar statement its just really hard to right good right-wing comedy just like its hard to write a good left-wing action film. (Geoff Norcott probably being the only guy writing good right-wing comedy currently). The issue is the old punch-up and punch-down mentality who more specifically who is the gag targeted at and who's getting the laugh. Take the aforementioned SBC joke who's the target? Well its the racist Americans he's showing them up by them going along with the song. Carr in this instant I don't think has a target which means the only people laughing are either people that just find saying something outrageous funny (really not my thing, its equivalent of kid repeating rude words because it garners attention) or people who have conscious or unconscious racism to Romany people. He's certainly not done it to provoke a conversation. Reality is its a joke he really should of thought about saying before using it and his stock will go down for it. All comedians have pushed the boundaries of what's acceptable at times and he did go over the line. Its also not a criminal offence (no idea who those people are). He should apologise and move on. Carr's popularity is something I've never really understood. In reality he was doing Acasters great bit on trans people, which shows just how stupid a thing it was to do.
