I'm no fan of Jimmy Carr - another one who has got less funny the more hes better known, but Jimmy Carr at his most funny is in a whole different league to Ricky Gervais at his best. Don't think I've seen another comedian who can do multi layered humour like Jimmy Car.

I am a fan of his XFM stuff (and subsequent podcasts, audio books, and TV show) with Steven Merchant and the epic Karl Pilkington. I've heard/seen them all, many times, and they never, ever get boring. I can't say I've ever experienced that anywhere else.

This times a million.
 
None of them today or past decades are funny IMO, the good ones are mostly dead now and most of todays celebs (comedians/singers/actors) are talentless.
 
I am not a fan but appreciate that many do find him funny. Personally I cringe when watching him.
 
I dislike him in almost everything bar Derek.

Derek was awesome. I didn't watch it at first just because he was in it, as soon as after a recommendation from a friend though I watched it. One of the best things I've watched for a while tbh.
