Laugh & You Go TO HELL - No Filter Edition | Jimmy Carr

Quick Overview

Jimmy Carr recounts several anecdotes illustrating the perceived absurdity or hypocrisy surrounding societal norms, particularly concerning religion and sexual behavior, often referencing controversial topics like the Catholic Church's handling of abuse, the nature of faith, and sexual statistics, all delivered with his characteristic provocative style to elicit laughs from the audience.

Key Points: Carr jokes about 'snowballing' being the sexual practice where a partner does not spit or swallow ejaculate, but returns it to the sender via a kiss. He contrasts the beliefs of Scientologists (believing in aliens) with Christians, questioning what Christians believe in, specifically referencing the Catholic Church's stance on sex. Carr states that the Catholic Church is raising money for a giant thermometer, not for victims of clerical abuse, and criticizes their stance on contraception. He recounts a story about a friend who was sexually abused as a child and later had an 'extraordinary' spiritual awakening, leading him to question his previous cynicism about religion. Carr notes that while people say books are better than films, the book of Genesis smells funny because the pages are stuck together. He suggests that the ultimate sexual fantasy is having sex with two women at the same time, but points out that this is 'a bit lame' compared to the implied fantasy of the person who admitted to having an affair while their partner was washing the car. When discussing how easy it is to get forgiveness versus permission, Carr points out that the Catholic Church's education system is 'odd' because they teach children not to talk about sex but then advertise to children telling them not to smack children.
