History Creator / JimmyCarr

* ImagineTheAudienceNaked: His usual answer to when people ask him how he stands up in front of people and tells jokes. He notes that you shouldn't tell the audience that's what you're doing (before eyeing out an attractive female in the audience and staring at her seductively, complete with [[ADateWithRosiePalms self-caressing]]), and it's not wise to do at a kindergarten.
* ImGoingToHellForThis: After a shot at Christianity, he remarked "That seems to have split the room into two groups - one group thought that was hilarious, and the other is going to heaven."

* OneLiner: He's said in interviews that he writes about 250 one-liners for each new show.
* NeverHeardThatOneBefore: He said on his 2013 DVD ''Laughing and Joking'' that he's heard audience members ask "Where's Alan?" more times than he cares to count.
* ParentalIncest: One time, he showed the audience a greeting card that had a cover with a teenage girl having fun with the caption "You're sixteen!" On the inside, he wrote "But it's still our little secret. Lots of love, Dad".

-->"The church always had us standing, sitting, kneeling. I wish the priest would just pick a position and fuck me.”

-->"You're an accountant? Where were you when I fucking needed you, mate?" [{{Beat}}] "If you're watching this on Netflix in America, don't Google that, I'm a good guy." ''[sketchy glance]''
** He once admitted to having a celebrity crush on Creator/AngelinaJolie, but stated that his chances with her were slim considering Jolie is with Creator/BradPitt and "I've got a face that looks like a potato."

* BrokenRecord: In ''The Best of Ultimate Gold Greatest Hits'', he makes a statement that he once did a show for Alzheimer's sufferers that consisted of the same joke for two hours. He then repeats the statement twice.

-->"The church always had us standing, sitting, kneeling. I wish the priest would just pick a position and fuck me."

* BlackComedy

* ADateWithRosiePalms: When describing the results of a sexual dream he had about Creator/AngelinaJolie:
-->"I'm not saying it was romantic; I had to get the sheets off with a toffee hammer."

* MetaphoricallyTrue: After cracking a joke about people in wheelchairs, he often spots someone who didn't take too kindly to the joke and reassures them that "no one in a wheelchair has ever walked out."

* NightmareFace: [[http://www.jimmycarr.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/jimmy-carr.jpg This painting of him.]] Try to say that his smile doesn't creep you out at least a little bit. [[http://static1.stereoboard.com/images/stories/2013/images/A-Z%20Main%20Artist%20Images/J/jimmy_carr_js_031013.jpg Perhaps you'd like a closer look.]]

* ThreeWaySex

* YourMom
--> "If you want my comeback, you'll have to scrape it off your mum's teeth."

!!His stand-up shows on DVD are:

* BrotherSisterIncest: When describing a threesome he had with twins (brother and sister).
* ButLiquorIsQuicker

--> "The other night my girlfriend sat me down for one of those serious 'relationship' talks, where she talked ''at'' me for about three hours. She said, 'Jimmy, we've reached a crossroads in our relationship. Down one road is hard work and sacrifice, but, ultimately, happiness. And down the other road....well, the other road is a dead end.' To which I replied, 'That's not a crossroad, it's a T-junction.'" (Beat, as audience howls.) "Well, I'm glad ''you'' laughed. ''She'' went fucking mental."

** During one of the years of The Big Fat Quiz of the Year, one of the special guests was Lola the cat, who infamously got thrown into a bin. Just before playing the clip, Jimmy asked Lola's owners to "shield her eyes" because he didn't want her to relive it.

* BeliefMakesYouStupid: Has mocked Christianity on a number of occasions. One time, he singled out a Christian in the audience and pretended to offer to sell him magic beans because of the naivete he perceived in the audience member.

* IBangedYourMom: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ca4E2x-3hu4 A prime example]] in FunTShirt form (near the end of the clip).

* InsistentTerminology: It isn't "porn", it's "gentlemens' special interest literature".

-->"I've got a friend that got into an argument with a barmaid from Sunderland. Long story short, he ended up calling her a 'fat, ugly Geordie cunt.' And she said, 'I'm no a Geordie.'"
* ItsPronouncedTroPay:

-->-- Openng lines of ''Jimmy Carr: Live''

->"I suppose I'd better warn you that in my act there is a certain amount of bad language. I'm not talking about split infinitives. There will be some swearing and there is some material of a sexual nature. So, if you are offended by rude or crude material, for heaven's sake, don't be a [[CountryMatters cunt]] about it."
-->-- ''Jimmy Carr: Live'' - opening lines

-->''Jimmy'': "You got a breadmaker instead of an ''engagement ring''? You broke up with him, right?"

* TheHyena: His appearances on {{Series/QI}} often feature his loud, staccato laughter.

* UnusualEuphemism:
** Has referred to women being lesbian as "preferring the flatter shoe", and subsequently referred to lesbians turning straight as "getting back on solids".
** When describing one of his sexual experiences with his wife, he referred to his premature ejaculation as "arriving early".

** He's said that the best heckle he's ever gotten was when he wasn't even on stage, but in the ''audience'' of a fellow comedian's show. When he was no longer able to contain his AnnoyingLaugh and burst out in hysterics, the comedian immediately stopped his set and said to him in a very offended tone, "Now that's enough, Jimmy. ''I'' don't laugh when I go see one of ''your'' shows!"
