One thing I've learned about depression is,, if u suffer from depression don't listen to depressing music.. If you want a better life than be better, u gotta put into the world that of which you wish to recieve. Want love, respect, dignity,, start with yourself. If you don't love, respect yourself than don't expect anyone else to. If you want a happier life,,become helpful.. to do good feels good.. think for yourself, speak for yourself,, be yourself.. theres only one of you in this world so stay true to yourself. Pay no mind to judgmental opinions of others, most opinions are like assholes, they stink.. if everything consists of matter, if you're here, you matter. Be the hero of your own story, like you're ment to,, a code , creedo, motto,,, multiple if u want. Something simple that allows you to look yourself in the eye tha mirror each morning & able to get to sleepea night.. one of mine "cause no harm but take no shit.. cuz tho we're all the hero of our own stories ...in someone elses,, we're the villain... keep yourself accountable,, learn to say no, set boundaries..take chances, don't be afraid to fail. The only way u fail is not to try.. if it's good pay it forward, if it's not grill it and kill. Get yourself/house in order, start living right & the right ppl will come into your life.. and the wrong ones will leaven.. assessing constantly, progress continually, rate of speed of your progression, N/A for you are not...I am not in competition with, & don't compare myself to anyone, except who I was yesterday.... likewise don't compete for or chase anyone. Women or for any one else's time & or affections.... whatever you do in this life, do it for you. Can't make everyone happy so best start with oneself. Become content and go from there.. Rambles over, over and out, bonne chance, bon nuit,, adieux from a deud.
Jimmy needs to spend more time on these serious topics instead of comedy. The comedy is fine, but this is just so much more important, and he's got quite a lot of helpful insights.
Not everybody in the world will hear this from their fathers. This is why there are individuals like him to give advice to all those men who did not have someone to give advice or show the right path.
So many great nuggets in this. I will say that people tend to protect their children these days more is because of all of the bad people and influences. People are progressively more dangerous and crazy than back in the day. Maybe it's a vicious circle, idk. Just some thoughts.
And they get the kids and some financial gain as they know being born a man you will always be working and they can stand down and look good spending your dough or benefits telling everyone what an amazing mother she is and what a horrible father you are!!
It is quite sad and indeed telling a lot about us. I come from India, and for me growing up as a millennial, traveling outside India was like a dream, next to impossible. Today, I am married to a beautiful woman, I have been to Dubai (lived there rather), lived in London, lived in Taiwan and basically lived across the entirety of India. But, I have bipolar disorder. Once I (or my family) reached a state of comfortable life, our priorities turned upside down. Today, my wife and I are deeply scared of bringing another life in this world. We have more than we could ever ask for and yet we feel we dont have enough to support our baby. We have become paralyzed by our comfort.
Some good stuff and some bad stuff. For one, being a gentleman has nothing to do with toxic masculinity because the term is based on the perception of the accuser. In college I was called a male chauvinistic pig because I held the door open for the girl behind me on my way into the library (true story).

We also have the problem of not having the natural mentor to teach us about thses kinds of consequences - the Father of the family. Lets deal with the real problem. All of these things, video games, pornogrophy, social media, drugs & drinking. We need the masculinity of the family unit to come back.
Yeah and watching films is a substitute for not being able to watch Alan Rickman fall out of the window at the top of Nakatomi Plaza in real life. Or maybe I just enjoy watching Alan Rickman play a character who falls out of the window at the top of Nakatomi Plaza. And likewise, maybe I just enjoy playing games. People who enjoy media as a form of escapism have ruined media, because now you can't just enjoy anything without people thinking that you're running away from your problems. That's only true for a very small subset of people. There's more to art and media than just being training wheels for life. Its not purely functional, there's something else there. I'm an independent professional musician, but I do a lot more things to make money than just perform I have to wear a lot of hats in fact, so in reality I run a business and I'm the product. But that doesn't mean I don't want to play business simulator games. I'm not thinking "this is a replacement for running a real business and living a real life", I'm enjoying playing with the mechanics and the challenge of being the best at the game. Its like saying people only play Call of Duty because they really want to go to war. No I love playing Call of Duty, but I really really don't want to go to war and even if I did there's absolutely no comparison anyway. Men are running away from life because there's very little incentive to engage with a society that doesn't respect, value, or reward them for doing so and in fact actually punishes them. People should do it for themselves, but its not so easy to see or even want that when the result of building a life worth living doesn't appear until you've put in 10-20 years of effort and created that life for yourself. Most people in my generation won't own their own home until they're 40 or 50, if at all. 30% of my generation are single, and that percentage is growing. We are looking at a future where so many people are childless, lonely, and won't even get the pleasure of owning our own home, and certainly won't have enough money to retire, and to top it all off you have women saying they won't date anyone unless they're 7', a millionaire and have the looks of Brad Pitt, whilst labelling any man attempting to achieve that as toxic. Our society has systematically DESTROYED the very notion of what masculinity even is whilst also removing all forms of opportunity for success, and we wonder why men don't want to do anything anymore? Stop redirecting the blame away from what's really happening.
i like this guy but his explanations are flawed. its not like everything went well and men decided to turn to games and porn. it's everything went to shit and THEN men isolated and gave up / decided its not worth it. I know that gen x or boomers don't understand.
Same, don't judge me for this, I genuinely don't find him funny, I get the humour, but one-liners don't do it for me, I prefer my Billy Connolly's and Lee Evans's, but, I feel like his work for Mental Health, I'm suddenly a lot more interested, I'm not really suffering but it *IS* very important, he seems a very wise man
1:10 Video games are fun though. It's escapism and a leisure pursuit. The career/corporate world is definitely NOT fun. Bullying overbearing managers, high workloads, unreasonable deadlines, loads of stress, corporates with no morals, pole climbing back stabbing colleagues, boring work etc.
Yea, real comedians challenge our concepts and ideologies. The first time, i realized that I was watching moscow on the hudson, and the old man at the beginning, who is identified as a comedian, is very free spirited and challenging but also hilarious.
That line about Orwell being wrong is spot on. The modern world more closely represents Aldous Huxley's Brave New World - where people have been incapacitated with distractions and cheap pleasures.
3:14 the Maslow illustration is interesting. By not having the base of the pyramid figured out, it created a greater sense of individual purpose and identity, but it also fostered greater cooperation for survival. Now, most societies have guaranteed basic human needs, causing a detachment from the group and promoting individualism and a lack of cohesion within society. Interestingly enough, more people than ever feel lost and hopeless. 🤯
To me spending most of my day doing something I hate is the problem, whereas playing games and doing things I do enjoy is much more fulfilling. Games are not just fun but escapism for people who don't have genuinely good friends, people who have troubled family lives, people who feel trapped, people who don't find pleasure in the mundanity of normal life and people who have mental health struggles they struggle to cope with like myself.
Ok, I understand, but you have to agree with me that scape your reality with videogames it's not something you can do your entire life. You have to put your energy and motivation on doing things that going to change your reality, to live a better life! Stay strong brother! Be brave!
Is great for me to read your comment! Thank you buddy! If you like this vídeo, you will enjoy this other one. Watch this: ua-cam.com/video/Mg5s9eAidDQ/v-deo.html
Don't put too much emphasis on being a "real man". Emphasize being the best version of yourself instead and stay true to yourself regardless of what anybody else thinks. There's no such thing as a "real man", only the real you. Being a stereotype won't make you happy, it will just make you even more confused. You, and only you know what's best for yourself and that's that.
I like this. Too much content pushing people to conform to a strict sense of " being a man" when it comes down to be the better version of yourself every day than you were yesterday
Absolutely true. But I still think a man has to be strong and know how to defend himself regardless, its imperative in my opinion. Its the only stereotype valuable as a man, the rest is up to you.
All true…. But real men have scars and callouses… They can make or destroy…just about anything with their bare hands.. Those men created a world in which weaker ones can thrive..not the other way around KNOW THAT
I partially agree with this, definitely run your own race and and be the best version of you. However I would argue that we DO NOT always know what’s best for ourselves. We make wrong decisions and poor judgements often. Just because we think or feel something doesn’t make it accurate. Close your mouth and open your ears, other people have valuable information and opinions we might have not considered.
0:32 "Be a Mensch". "Mensch" is the german word for "human". My grandfather, who died last year, used to say: "I want to stay a Mensch." Not that easy nowadays.
There is zero evidence that depression comes from a chemical imbalance in the brain. He’s talking shit about mental health like most rich celebrities. If you are looking for support, find a local group or centre and avoid listening to the trash on youtube
Holy 💩 when did Jimmy become so Socrates. What he just said was absolutely 100% true If you think Andrew Tate is a god you are 200% wrong and lost !! Jimmy just blew my God Dam Mind !!! Video games are a Proxy holy shit he ain’t wrong !!! I’m glad I lived and grew up before the net it made us well rounded Men !
Yet another out of touch rich person who shifts the blame to us instead of the greed being unlimited and without control. Society is a rigged game and it will never be fixed with attitudes like yours.
Sorry, Jimmy, but my career has been quite fullfilled at 32 years of my age and I still like to play videogames and its for totaly different reasons than you say here.
I completely agree with the religion thing I've said for years the religious bit is crap but the community spirit looks great. I disagree with the fame and fortune thing .. that looks like it removes you're freedom.
It's easy to say, "you can change that". But when wages are a fifth of what they were 50 years ago and housing is five times more expensive than 50 years ago due to inflation, it is almost impossible to change. The average worker's wage for the week is often less than the poverty line. Notice I said worker, not someone unemployed. If you are working you should at least be able to buy basic essentials like housing, food, utilities, education, transport, medical and entertainment (recognized as a basic need by the UN human rights (no, I am not talking about a personal yacht. Just a TV, local library or sports equipment)). You are a funny man, but you clearly know nothing about economics or social structures
I think he means videogames in excess. Been there, and yep not fun. But with your house in order, videogames at their best are imo the highest form of art, and only if you've experienced some of them start to finish can you understand what I mean.
It’s at 5:35 - where he lets it slip ‘……..and it is good….’ Living in the land of milk and honey Because we have centralized money as the only variable that means anything - like corn is the only crop we should ever grow - we just have to figure out how to make everything out of corn! Money is the god, goddess, the key, the solution…….and the cause of a ton of problems. The only thing that separates you, and me, from Jimmy is that he is a multi millionaire>……………and you’re not! Statistically speaking you will also never be a millionaire, the odds are against you - but as critics will say - you have to be in it to win it - but if the lottery has taught us anything - most people are losers ??? And I have to disagree with that! We have to stop our addiction to money, take away its power somehow and start valuing our humanity, skill, abilities adaptability and perfection. If money is our only metric then we will be berated by economic addicts that have no place in power, or critiquing the system that they have benefitted from.
Yeh gotta be clever, bold, and observant to make a real living as a stand-up comedian. So it's not surprising that once established, many of the best become excellent commentators on modern society. I won't say that I want any one comic writing policy papers, and I'm doubtful any one of them would like to do so, but they have an inside track on revealing ourselves to us.
I am 63 I live in Australia… I have been diving in the ocean all my adult life and even now still go spearfishing in open ocean every week and come home with a stunning catches of seafood. I love my life. Jimmy Carr’s words couldn’t be more true. Life is to be lived. It is short and precious. Bad choices results in bad outcomes… actions have consequences. Some fear dying Some fear living.
My advice to anyone is to pick up the Bible and read Matthew, listen to the teachings of Jesus and understand that good things come for good deeds, you don't need to know why or how, you only need to know what to do. Jimmy nailed it perfectly. Too many Christians try to tell the gentiles to believe in Jesus, instead they should be showing them what he stood for. Our comfortable society is falling apart because we all go 'not my job' 'the council will sort that' etc and the reality is, no one's coming to save you. We can't all sit about and expect the world to run itself, or become better by itself.
This is only one small part of the equation, but it is one of the easy to articulate components of it, and one that most people do not think about often enough. On the theme of philosophy, I'd like for people to ask themselves three questions: Who are you? What do you want? Where are you going?
I think he suffers in the public eye because his comedy persona is such an arse, but underneath I’d say he is a really wounded, hurt person struggling to build himself.
I agree with him, but I think he tells half of the story from a position of privilege. If you do great in your career, love life or in any field you do not understand what it takes to move from the problem to something better, to find what really works for people that actually have the problems you need to listen from people that walked that path, there are some out there and youtube has given them a voice, that is good. It’s Milei in Argentina, the selfmade people, the rags to riches or the fat to fit stories, that’s the other half.
Not sure that religion argument really works: the idea that coming together is "a good thing about religion", and that other things are therefore proxies for religion. If the coming together is the good bit, as he said (and I'd be inclined to agree), that means that religion is a proxy for pure, for-its-own-sake togetherness, not that other promoters of togetherness are proxies for religion.
I never played anything on PC, PSPS, etc, don't have social media, every no and then a little porn, nothing exagerated, but I'm still far-far from perfect, or having the perfect life. But i don't blame others, because i know that is up to me to change that.
Not sure if it's that black or white. You can live online for like 2 hours a day and still take risks and connect in real life. It's only when you get addicted to the online life and neglect the rest that there is obviously a big problem (as with any addiction really).
For me games was a way to escape reality. If i was born in a good income family with sorted out life i probably wouldnt spend a minute in games in my life. For most people life is absolute shit. And if you are born in right country, consider yourself lucky.
Holy 💩 when did Jimmy become so Socrates. What he just said was absolutely 100% true If you think Andrew Tate is a god you are 200% wrong and lost !! Jimmy just blew my God Dam Mind !!!

Read "Amusing Ourselves To Death." The author posits that George Orwell was wrong. Authoritarians won't prevent us from living full lives. Aldus Huxley, in his novel "Brave New World" WAS correct in that our obsession with pleasure will cause us to "amuse ourselves to death" and live meaningless hedonistic lives. Good book.
Cheap dopamine? This guy clearly never played Dark Souls! The pain some games have put me through was immense XD. I get his point though. Many live in the virtual world and neglect the real one.
I like JImmy Carr, but his logic is flawed. People come together for various reasons, both good and bad. Having the power to "bring people together" does not make an institution or idea good. The cost of coming together religiously is higher than its benefits. I would propose that a person of low intelligence (an idiot) is one that accepts propositions with no evidence or warrant. This is precisely what religion expects of its adherents. If one dismisses a proposition out of ignorance then perhaps they too are an idiot?
There's nothing you can do except accept it knowing it's always going to be there or numb yourself with alcohol and/or drugs which includes pharmaceuticals that are more dangerous than most illegal drugs.
What is your obsessions with video games? Have you ever got into one? It's pure entertainment. That does not necessarily mean that people are not living in their reality. Not everyone's reality is as priviledged as yours to make those insinuations. I know many older folk who still play games because all there is to do is go out and drink in order to socialize. For me, it's the crime in my country.
"14 year olds used to babysit..." Holy crap, I forgot that was even a thing...
I was self babysitting since 4 years old in a small town, it wasn't something abnormal in the 80s...

I searched this online after you stated it, then realised its on my shelf as a shelf help book. Need to start rerading again😅
A combo of the 2.
1984 + Brave New World
In 1984, Big brother watches you, in a Brave New World, your watching Big Brother.
3:14 the Maslow illustration is interesting. By not having the base of the pyramid figured out, it created a greater sense of individual purpose and identity, but it also fostered greater cooperation for survival. Now, most societies have guaranteed basic human needs, causing a detachment from the group and promoting individualism and a lack of cohesion within society. Interestingly enough, more people than ever feel lost and hopeless. 🤯
Never rude by accident there is a novel in the statement
Good to know! Thank you Jim! Stay Motivated!! 💪🏻💪🏻
To me spending most of my day doing something I hate is the problem, whereas playing games and doing things I do enjoy is much more fulfilling. Games are not just fun but escapism for people who don't have genuinely good friends, people who have troubled family lives, people who feel trapped, people who don't find pleasure in the mundanity of normal life and people who have mental health struggles they struggle to cope with like myself.
Ok, I understand, but you have to agree with me that scape your reality with videogames it's not something you can do your entire life. You have to put your energy and motivation on doing things that going to change your reality, to live a better life! Stay strong brother! Be brave!
That is one of the best videos I have seen for a some time.
Is great for me to read your comment! Thank you buddy! If you like this vídeo, you will enjoy this other one. Watch this: ua-cam.com/video/Mg5s9eAidDQ/v-deo.html
The most intelligent interview answers Jimmy Carr has ever given
For sure!! Stay motivated!! 💪🏻💪🏻
Don't put too much emphasis on being a "real man". Emphasize being the best version of yourself instead and stay true to yourself regardless of what anybody else thinks. There's no such thing as a "real man", only the real you. Being a stereotype won't make you happy, it will just make you even more confused. You, and only you know what's best for yourself and that's that.
I like this. Too much content pushing people to conform to a strict sense of " being a man" when it comes down to be the better version of yourself every day than you were yesterday
@@kazama246 Exactly. You're spot on.
Absolutely true. But I still think a man has to be strong and know how to defend himself regardless, its imperative in my opinion. Its the only stereotype valuable as a man, the rest is up to you.
All true….
But real men have scars and callouses…
They can make or destroy…just about anything with their bare hands..
Those men created a world in which weaker ones can thrive..not the other way around
KNOW THAT
I partially agree with this, definitely run your own race and and be the best version of you. However I would argue that we DO NOT always know what’s best for ourselves. We make wrong decisions and poor judgements often. Just because we think or feel something doesn’t make it accurate. Close your mouth and open your ears, other people have valuable information and opinions we might have not considered.
0:32 "Be a Mensch". "Mensch" is the german word for "human". My grandfather, who died last year, used to say: "I want to stay a Mensch." Not that easy nowadays.
Thank you for the enlightenment! Beautiful words!! Stay motivated! 💪🏻💪🏻
Thanks,as I german I was frantically googling what menchmeans in english!😆
There is zero evidence that depression comes from a chemical imbalance in the brain. He’s talking shit about mental health like most rich celebrities.
If you are looking for support, find a local group or centre and avoid listening to the trash on youtube
🤔
Holy 💩 when did Jimmy become so Socrates.
What he just said was absolutely 100% true
If you think Andrew Tate is a god you are 200% wrong and lost !!
Jimmy just blew my God Dam Mind !!!
Video games are a Proxy holy shit he ain’t wrong !!! I’m glad I lived and grew up before the net it made us well rounded Men !
Yet another out of touch rich person who shifts the blame to us instead of the greed being unlimited and without control. Society is a rigged game and it will never be fixed with attitudes like yours.
🤔😭
Sorry, Jimmy, but my career has been quite fullfilled at 32 years of my age and I still like to play videogames and its for totaly different reasons than you say here.
I completely agree with the religion thing I've said for years the religious bit is crap but the community spirit looks great.
I disagree with the fame and fortune thing .. that looks like it removes you're freedom.
No. Power is given away by allowing more opportunity for women to be successful in their careers rather than men. Duh!
It's easy to say, "you can change that". But when wages are a fifth of what they were 50 years ago and housing is five times more expensive than 50 years ago due to inflation, it is almost impossible to change. The average worker's wage for the week is often less than the poverty line. Notice I said worker, not someone unemployed. If you are working you should at least be able to buy basic essentials like housing, food, utilities, education, transport, medical and entertainment (recognized as a basic need by the UN human rights (no, I am not talking about a personal yacht. Just a TV, local library or sports equipment)).
You are a funny man, but you clearly know nothing about economics or social structures
Damn us game developers out here catching strays
🤔
Nothing wrong with game developers… problem is, no parents are teaching responsible usage of games….
I think he means videogames in excess. Been there, and yep not fun. But with your house in order, videogames at their best are imo the highest form of art, and only if you've experienced some of them start to finish can you understand what I mean.
My dad, probably like every other father figure, said the samething, "Be a Man."
It great advice, i just he elaborated on it some more.
It’s at 5:35 - where he lets it slip ‘……..and it is good….’ Living in the land of milk and honey
Because we have centralized money as the only variable that means anything - like corn is the only crop we should ever grow - we just have to figure out how to make everything out of corn! Money is the god, goddess, the key, the solution…….and the cause of a ton of problems. The only thing that separates you, and me, from Jimmy is that he is a multi millionaire>……………and you’re not!
Statistically speaking you will also never be a millionaire, the odds are against you - but as critics will say - you have to be in it to win it - but if the lottery has taught us anything - most people are losers ??? And I have to disagree with that!
We have to stop our addiction to money, take away its power somehow and start valuing our humanity, skill, abilities adaptability and perfection. If money is our only metric then we will be berated by economic addicts that have no place in power, or critiquing the system that they have benefitted from.
Yeh gotta be clever, bold, and observant to make a real living as a stand-up comedian. So it's not surprising that once established, many of the best become excellent commentators on modern society. I won't say that I want any one comic writing policy papers, and I'm doubtful any one of them would like to do so, but they have an inside track on revealing ourselves to us.
I am 63 I live in Australia… I have been diving in the ocean all my adult life and even now still go spearfishing in open ocean every week and come home with a stunning catches of seafood. I love my life. Jimmy Carr’s words couldn’t be more true. Life is to be lived. It is short and precious. Bad choices results in bad outcomes… actions have consequences. Some fear dying Some fear living.
Great words!!!
I’m just glad you Didn’t get eaten by a great white. Please be carful, there are many in the water off the coasts of Australia.
My advice to anyone is to pick up the Bible and read Matthew, listen to the teachings of Jesus and understand that good things come for good deeds, you don't need to know why or how, you only need to know what to do. Jimmy nailed it perfectly. Too many Christians try to tell the gentiles to believe in Jesus, instead they should be showing them what he stood for.
Our comfortable society is falling apart because we all go 'not my job' 'the council will sort that' etc and the reality is, no one's coming to save you. We can't all sit about and expect the world to run itself, or become better by itself.
Nice idears.
But The music is kind of pompous and makes the whole experience a bit taggy.
This is only one small part of the equation, but it is one of the easy to articulate components of it, and one that most people do not think about often enough.
On the theme of philosophy, I'd like for people to ask themselves three questions:
Who are you?
What do you want?
Where are you going?
I think he suffers in the public eye because his comedy persona is such an arse, but underneath I’d say he is a really wounded, hurt person struggling to build himself.
I agree with him, but I think he tells half of the story from a position of privilege.
If you do great in your career, love life or in any field you do not understand what it takes to move from the problem to something better, to find what really works for people that actually have the problems you need to listen from people that walked that path, there are some out there and youtube has given them a voice, that is good. It’s Milei in Argentina, the selfmade people, the rags to riches or the fat to fit stories, that’s the other half.
Not sure that religion argument really works: the idea that coming together is "a good thing about religion", and that other things are therefore proxies for religion.
If the coming together is the good bit, as he said (and I'd be inclined to agree), that means that religion is a proxy for pure, for-its-own-sake togetherness, not that other promoters of togetherness are proxies for religion.
I never played anything on PC, PSPS, etc, don't have social media, every no and then a little porn, nothing exagerated, but I'm still far-far from perfect, or having the perfect life. But i don't blame others, because i know that is up to me to change that.
In your Life, it's all up to you brother! Stay strong and motivated! 💪🏻+🧠
Not sure if it's that black or white. You can live online for like 2 hours a day and still take risks and connect in real life. It's only when you get addicted to the online life and neglect the rest that there is obviously a big problem (as with any addiction really).
My respect for Jimmy Carr has hit maximum. May not be a massive fan of his comedy but he does speak a lot of sense.
For sure!! 💪🏻+🧠
For me games was a way to escape reality. If i was born in a good income family with sorted out life i probably wouldnt spend a minute in games in my life. For most people life is absolute shit. And if you are born in right country, consider yourself lucky.
Serotonin deficiency, someone is not uptodate with literature 😂

George was partly right, why do you think video games and porn is pushed so much? It keeps them in control
Hell yeah!
Read "Amusing Ourselves To Death." The author posits that George Orwell was wrong. Authoritarians won't prevent us from living full lives. Aldus Huxley, in his novel "Brave New World" WAS correct in that our obsession with pleasure will cause us to "amuse ourselves to death" and live meaningless hedonistic lives. Good book.
You're right!
Buďte tak hodný…. Tohle me neucte!!!!
Je to NEHORÁZNOST!!!!!!
Hey Jimmy, do real men pay their taxes? 🤨
Cheap dopamine? This guy clearly never played Dark Souls! The pain some games have put me through was immense XD.
I get his point though. Many live in the virtual world and neglect the real one.
That's True!! 👏🏼👏🏼
I like JImmy Carr, but his logic is flawed. People come together for various reasons, both good and bad. Having the power to "bring people together" does not make an institution or idea good. The cost of coming together religiously is higher than its benefits. I would propose that a person of low intelligence (an idiot) is one that accepts propositions with no evidence or warrant. This is precisely what religion expects of its adherents. If one dismisses a proposition out of ignorance then perhaps they too are an idiot?
Good point! Makes me think about it! 👍🏻
There's nothing you can do except accept it knowing it's always going to be there or numb yourself with alcohol and/or drugs which includes pharmaceuticals that are more dangerous than most illegal drugs.
Jimmy carr is great. But this music is terrible
What is your obsessions with video games? Have you ever got into one? It's pure entertainment. That does not necessarily mean that people are not living in their reality. Not everyone's reality is as priviledged as yours to make those insinuations. I know many older folk who still play games because all there is to do is go out and drink in order to socialize. For me, it's the crime in my country.
🤔🤔
This is a clip from an interview? Whats the source? I feel you should note that in the discription
It a podcast on the youtube channel called "diary of a CEO"
Be sure to repost this on April 1, boi. That's when it would be appropriate for this schlock. Pure hilarious ignorance in action.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thank you! I could scarcely have been less impressed with his milquetoast, Materialist verbiage.
well i kinda disagree with video games also with career, its just balance. dont over do one or another or else it becomes unhealthy.
Ecxactly!🤝🏻
Was expecting him to continue that list of websites but remembered he’s not doing a show here
In short: GINGER AND COMMUNITAY
seriously though, glad I watched this.
Would he consider books also a similar proxy?
No I guess
@@Motiv-Plus-Action fair enough to guess so. Why would you assume that?
Someone who actually has some common sense.... Live in the Real World...
He truly is one of the best... not just hilarious but intelligent as well. Thank you Mr. Jimmy Carr.
I agree 100% with you!
@@Motiv-Plus-Action huge fan of his
ok how to cure the afflicted?
As Morpheus said : ``What is real? How do you define real?
Morpheus said that about life, not about masculinity .
@@Motiv-Plus-Action Life is everything
