Jimmy Carr: His Dark Material (2021) ***
This Netflix stand-up comedy show by Jimmy Carr includes probably the most infamous joke of all times. Carr himself has referred to this joke as a "career-ender" and it has been cited by the British government as an example of speech that should be forbidden by law. But while this joke might seem racist and insensitive at a first glance, what it really does is to condemn the hypocrisy and the double standards of people who denounce some genocides but deny others.
