The look of pure glee on Sean's face at the beginning of the episode. He knew he was about to have some fun. RIP to the funny man, and well done to the laughing seal for managing to come out of that situation with an intact career.
After Sean's death, Jimmy spoke at length about their friendship, and how Sean's advice after the tax scandal broke was to go out there, step up, and take it square on the chin, and the banter in this episode in particular was cathartic for Jimmy. After this episode, Jimmy knew he would be ok.
These comments are weird. Jimmy Carr was engineering his finances to avoid his money going towards schools, hospitals, emergency services, infrastructure etc., but because he had a good old laugh about it, "Oh silly old me", everyone remembers the event fondly? Sean Lock is a legend, Jimmy Carr is a colossal bellend.
@@AtlasCanTakeItif your accountant said it was fine then you’d do it as well. I doubt there is a single politician in the UK that doesn’t slip through the loopholes as well. Not saying it’s ok, but it’d take the morals of a saint for anyone in his position to do otherwise.
@@AtlasCanTakeIt Yeah, many famous celebs would have denied it and kept doing it but Jimmy apologised publicly and accepted the consequences of his actions. How many people do you know that would do something so honest?

Yes, and that's the difference between Sean's handling and Jon's handling. Jon couldn't temper his anger, and I would bet money Jimmy remembers it to this day but will never say anything about it.
@@jenniferlawrence1372 everyone in that room has just cause to be angry with Jimmy for what he did. If Jimmy holds a grudge over it, then that makes him petty. It's not anyone else's responsibility to coddle him and protect him from the consequences of his own actions. What comments and remarks he got were his due punishment, and thankfully he had enough integrity to take it like a man so bygones can be bygones. Now, if Jon to this day refuses to let it go and keeps on nagging him, that would be an entirely different matter. But I somehow doubt that's the case.
This is a damage control master class. Fully admitted it and bent over and took the heat at full vlast and laughed about it. People barely remember anymore 😂
Oh... lol. He has certainly gotten past it, but by no means have people forgotten it. Watch him on various panel shows. It does crop up at times. But I think he shows here how to survive such a situation. I do like Jon pointing out why this is bad though.
@@toringepedersen9614 youre right its not forgotten about but I actually think Jimmy is part of the reason its not been forgotten because everytime tax comes up, he is quick to make a joke about it
People still remember, and still make jokes about it. What people don't remember is that he's paid the taxes back, no matter how many times it comes up.
@@jonathancullis9155 I think you’ll find that’s just not true. A lot of people do, but saying ‘everyone’ with lots of money tries to avoid tax is just wrong.

@liamscott1905 Why do you keep repeating that in the comment section? You're weird, you're wrong, he's not gonna give you money for defending him from indefensible things.
It sounded way too genuine, too rehearsed. Don't get me wrong he's funny, but no be tricked into thinking he doesn't still do it, he's just better at hiding it
Jimmy admitted he was wrong, faced the consequences, and "took it like a man." Because of that, not only did people forgive him but he earned a great deal of respect too.
I don't think he did anything that wrong. It's weird that people think taxing people every cent is some how moral rather than letting people keep the money they make.
WOW. Mad respect for anyone who can take a beating like that in public and laugh about it. Thanks for the chuckles, but thanks even more for showing how to take adversity on the chin and move forward.
To be fair the dancing fella was spot on. The loopholes should be closed, only people who can afford good accountants can use them, making the rich richer. The outrage shouldn't have been at people taking advantage of them but why the loopholes exist In the first place.
I had a big issue with Cameron calling him immoral for legal tax avoidance. It's literally an MPs job to make laws, if you don't like it change the f'ing law.
In Jimmy’s defense, to Jon’s point about Cameron having to fire nurses because there isn’t enough money, etc…there isn’t enough money because Cameron and his forerunners wrote opaque, meandering tax laws to avoid paying tax. Jimmy just tried to use those laws. He didn’t write them.
It is very interesting to hear Jimmy's description of this afterwards. He was have major anxiety before and this episode made him being able to move forward and understand that he was going to survive this.
I heard Jimmy say in an interview that before this 8oo10c aired the show runner talked to him and told him to just sit there and take it. No justifications or defenses or anything. Perfect advice.
That’s a great interview, well worth the watch. I hadn’t seen this episode before so as soon as it popped up I remembered that interview moment and was interested to see it for myself.
Accountant and Advisors said we can legally do this: x Jimmy: ok Carries on with busy life then named and shamed. Took that roasting like a champ Jimmy
The Conservatives leave lots of little loopholes in for their buddies. It's worth noting that there are others who used this loophole never paid the money back...Jimmy did it voluntarily.
Jimmy took this like a champ. He paid the debt back and took his penance from his colleagues; clearly, with those qualities, he has no place in politics. That dance to represent David Cameron, the pig lover, is spot on. Oink, oink, Dave.
@peterfireflylund what they literally had against him was issue of morality. Tax loopholes exist for powerful people and they got angry coz Jimmy the comedian used it
@@corey_french1890 That's the point though he did not evade tax, that's illegal. He avoided it through dodgy accounting. Tax avoidance is not illegal, just immoral in many cases.
Great, in the truest sense, episode. You gave a master-class in how to keep delivering high-quality work while you're in the firing line. Only you'll know how true this is, but it certainly looked to me as though not only the panellists but the audience genuinely appreciated the fact that you were taking the flak like a champ without trying to justify yourself, at a point your career must genuinely have felt at risk. I've seen you talking about the anxiety attacks you experienced at the time-I'm on meds for the condition myself and can understand how overwhelming some of those moments must have been.
I was waiting for that classic clip that I didn't see in this that someone was talking about stressing about a letter from the tax department - Jimmy replying with "don't worry, its only a letter - if they're really serious, they knock on the fucking door".... I laughed soooo hard at that bit...
Never saw this ep, so, thanks, Jim, for putting it on your own channel. Some genius comedy right here. And Louis’s dance!!! RIP, Sean, you live on online and in reruns.
Very good episode. Tax avoidance is expected and perfectly legal. Tax evasion (particularly with informed intent) is an offence, but it is way better to have folk out earning more and repaying their debt than locking them up. We all learned from Jimmy; a genuinely nice guy and justly exonerated for his tax misdemeanor.
Wonder what happened to the enquiry on his inheritance? Amazing how he inherited so much money and how even more got paid into other accounts and he paid NO TAX.
@@onecalledchuck1664 American judge, Learned Hand, stated in Helvering v. Gregory that, "Anyone may so arrange his affairs that his taxes shall be as low as possible; he is not bound to choose that pattern which will best pay the Treasury, there is not even a patriotic duty to increase one's taxes."
Jimmy has never said so little during a show, but who cares, he's still a great comic and most people who can afford an accountant, has him to help reduce taxes
@@am-lo1pzso you can honestly say that you have never taken a tax deduction ever? Because that is tax avoision. Or paid for a job in cash for a discount.
There's a huge difference between making transparent claims for tax deduction purposes versus committing deliberate, fraudulent acts for tax avoidance purposes.@@barrycross8952
Jimmy, I’ve never really been a fan of you as a comedian (soz) but this moment made me respect you as a person. You took this like a champ and owned the mistake, and I hope more people follow your example when they muck up. And the way Sean had your back made me smile. Happy New Year ❤
It was touching to see how the whole panel worked so hard to punish Jimmy so publicly and brutally, and thereby rehabilitate Jimmy. He apologized and took it and didn't avoid or push back, and he rode it out. I see love, especially from Sean Louis and Jon.
Admirable show of character and humility there Jimmy. And probably why your razor/ laser wit is so appealing. Your unrelenting, excruciating, vitriolic…charm.
I still don’t get why they made such a thing about this. These loopholes were placed or left by the government and are used frequently by the lords and ladies to further enrich themselves. He just did what was legal. Change the law if you dislike the action.
Big props to you Jimmy for admitting your faults. 90%of people wouldn't. Can you put up all of series 13? I know you've started to but could you do the uncut version? I love this show.
No different to what many of the current band of torries have been doing for years, and tax avoidance is not criminal.

Not sure you'll ever see a more stark difference in American vs. British culture than this. We don't get mad at people for exploiting legal tax loopholes. We get mad at the government for allowing those loopholes to exist.
Exactly this. I take every deduction I’m legally allowed. I place money in tax advantaged accounts. I assumed Carr committed evasion based on the jokes, but people were upset that he followed the law!
