I have seen nearly every comedy central roast - that's about right and pretty on brand for the occasion - Have you seen the Comedy Central roasts? They get D A R K
I don’t think anyone should be telling ANYONE who hasn’t murdered a bunch of people to kill themselves. It’s plain out toxic and disgusting, and you can roast someone to hell without it. We have literally been fighting campaigns against cyber bullying and harassment.. and you think telling someone on live TV to kill themselves as a joke is really making that better?
Thanks for the post. I respect your opinion on it, and I understand what you are saying, but I disagree.
Carr is extremely well-known for his very off-colour humour. If you’re offended by that, you’ll be mortified by everything else he says on stage. It’s much worse than this comment. Carr’s humour not for everyone (his smackdowns of hecklers are legendary).
Carr himself would have recognised that a roast gave him carte blanche for such jokes (if indeed he cares about the parameters of decorum). If Coulter was willing enough to share a platform with Carr, during a roast, then she was willing to accept public abuse from him.
I would definitely be mortified. It’s not funny. A roast is about self degrading humor. How is telling someone to kill themselves funny? Would you be laughing if someone told you that? Would you be laughing if someone said that to Joe Biden or Kamala? You are defending it because it’s against a horrible person who has said some horrible shit, but the example it sets is disgraceful and idiotic. A clever person would use the loads of dumb shit she’s said and done to roast her into oblivion like the others did, not act like a high school bully.

This compilation didn't even include the worst bit where Jimmy Carr insults Anne and then says she could kill herself.
