People need to grow up.  There should be no topic off limits in comedy.  If you dont like it and it upsets your fragile existence, then dont watch it. 

Jimmy Carr slammed by David Baddiel over Holocaust joke | news.com.au — Australia’s leading news site

To each, their own Bob.  I’ve got a pretty brazen (for the want of a better word) sense of humour, but that to me, should be off limits.  I did a tour of Auschwitz-Birkenau and would suggest Jimmy did so as well.  It’s a very sobering experience and maybe it could make him rethink his choice of jokes.

Then who decides whats is off limits? Given the day and age we are in, someone will always find something offensive.
If you dont like it, dont watch it. Laughing at something isnt hurting anyone. Its called a joke for a reason, to make people laugh.

Gee mate you are opening up a proverbial pandora's box there...... 

I watched that show and have watched a few other of his shows, at the start of each show he emphasises that some may find his material offensive that he pushes the envelope to the extreme but they are just jokes, so if anyone is on the sensitive side they should walk out now or switch channels, he then waits a while and proceeds. yes he's pushing the boundaries more than most comics, always has done, so as McBob said, dont watch. I hate any form of censorship for adults, and the Wokes have taken censorship to extreme new lows imho.

Another very funny very clever comic is Australian Jim Jeffreys, he will also challenge you with some of his humour.

For a start, I hadn’t even heard of Jimmy Carr till I saw bobs post.  Deciding what is off limits is a personal thing.  I love a bit comedy that could be called insensitive.  However for me, making a joke about a 6 year old kid walking his 4 year old sister into the chamber is nothing to joke about…ever!!  You probably don’t know the story of The Killing Wall?  You’d get a real kick out of that one!!

This would explain your misinterpretation of Jimmy Carr. Seems others have too.  Carr's joke was a commentary on how Traveller's are treated and thought of in Britain.
