Jimmy Carr: Natural Born Killer

I mean if even Jimmy Carr cannot produce better material than this who else could?

He talks about his feeling that he may lost his edge and he is totally right. Having a kid changes you. Sadly he doesn't realize this but the audience does.

He is not the same guy who told the brilliant mosquito joke. Other than the emotional and mental change he looks different, too. Really skinny and tired.

Honestly I could not remember a single joke from this last special it was so ordinary and boring. What a disappointment.

I don't know what's going on with these stand up comedians lately but they all lack something which they had in the past.

I cannot profess to being the biggest fan of Jimmy Carr, nonetheless as his new Netflix special, Natural Born Killer was available I decided to give it a watch.

As likely as not I have not watched anything by Jimmy since his previous special His Dark Material in 2021.

Well, aside from laughing out loud around three or maybe four times, this was thin gruel, it really felt like he was trying very, very hard to be offensive and funny, and ended up being neither to any great extent.

It just did not work for me.

The show almost settles into two halves as around or just beyond the half-way point and with the aid of the audience Jimmy seems to loosen up, it becomes more fluid and is a bit funnier all be it in a comparative sense.

I felt for the audience who I presume had paid good money to see this, it felt that they just weren't that into it, maybe it was just one of those nights but this Aylesbury audience did not seem to be having the best of times.

I guess it is mildly amusing to see Jimmy's face, teeth and hair evolve over time all with the aid of modern surgery and dentistry but beyond that there is little to recommend here.

Jimmy needs to have a long hard think about his future career or there may not be much career in his future.

I love Jimmy Carr and comedians who ain't afraid to offend.

Jimmy Carr- natural born killers is what I was really looking forward to seeing bit it was just awful. He just tried to be as creepy as possible and you can tell the audience most of the time just wasn't feeling it either.

I watched it all hoping he would get funnier but you can see he is just signalling for the audience to laugh.

All us atheists find Religious jokes funny but he seemed a bit scared to tell any Muslim jokes and that's not the Jimmy Carr we love to see.

I do prefer his last stand up and you'll just have to see it for yourself.

Jimmy Carr brings another show with the kind of jokes we're used from him, the short one liners that make you think for a second, and that makes you giggle once you got the pun. Of course you will get people that get offended as his jokes are raw and risqué, but then again he's doing this for ages so why would you even watch his shows if you're that easily offended? Anyway, Natural Born Killer might not be his best performance but it's certainly good enough if you like Jimmy Carr. He joked about every delicate subject possible so I'm not surprised he gets negative reviews. But if you think you can laugh at anything and everything just give this show a go, you might enjoy it.

Definitely goes over a ton of controversial subjects so will likely offend a lot of people for differing reasons. I'd say over 90% of his material can be considered offensive. He talks fast so there's a lot of jokes. I'd say 1/3 funny 1/3 decent 1/3 corny. One second I'd think he's being over the top or offensive for the shock. Then he'd do the same thing but I'd find it funny. Really tough to judge when every joke is so unique to the person hearing it. But if u don't get offended you'll find more than enough to stick through. I watched alone and lold at least a dozen times. Going into this I'd seen his other specials no more than once and always thought he was decent. This special was better than expected to me. But ya a lot of the jokes weren't huge crowd pleasers so it's hard to recommend to everyone. I also forget his old material specifically but know he's always leaned intro controversial topics so this seemed on brand for him.
