* ActuallyPrettyFunny:
** While the MoralGuardians were a little upset when he joked that the troops wounded in UsefulNotes/TheWarOnTerror would be good for the Great Britain team at the Paralympics, the soldiers who were actually asked found it hilarious.
** Sometimes has this reaction to heckles from the crowd. It's funnier for the audience when he doesn't ask for the AudienceParticipation and he'll often laugh with them.
--->'''Carr''': And he came back with the epically-harsh: "No, but [my mum dying of cancer] was funnier than this!"
** He's said that the best heckle he's ever gotten was when he wasn't even on stage, but in the ''audience'' of a fellow comedian's show. When he was no longer able to contain his AnnoyingLaugh and burst out in hysterics, the comedian immediately stopped his set and said to him in a very offended tone, "Alright, Jimmy, knock it off. ''I'' don't laugh when I go see one of ''your'' shows!"

* WhamLine: One joke in ''Laughing & Joking'' consists of him telling a story about being asked to perform at a hospice for teenagers in palliative care and not realizing until later that it meant he'd be telling jokes for dying kids. While he thought it would go over horribly, he ended up being inspired by how receptive the teenagers were out of their commitment to living in the moment. He then notes that one girl in particular was such a big fan of his that she began getting flirty and hands-on with him. Figuring she just wanted a kiss, he rationalized it with the belief that she would already be dead before she could testify. What follows is a line that's revealed to be the setup for a much, ''much'' bigger punchline.
