Oh and 40 years ago it was "what's the difference between a truck load of dead babies and a truck load of pin-pong balls ?"
You can't unload a truck load of ping-pong balls with a pitchfork.

Oh. Really sorry to hear this mate.

Yeah. He fell out of a watch tower
Beautifully done
I think what's in Jimmy's favour there is that the audience will know he's saying it to be shocking and that he doesn't in any way mean to be offensive. I know Jimmy knows the holocaust is one of the worst human tragedies ever.Jimmy Carr's most offense,
They say there's safety in numbers. Tell that to six million Jews.

It is all about context.
Stewart Lee can set up a joke for an hour before delivering the punchline. Daily Mail can print it and it looks offensive, the entire audience realises what he's done though. It was a bit like when he wished Richard Hammond had died in his Top Gear accident by decapitation. Of course the Daily Mail ran with that headline, but the actual joke was about Top Gear being able to say anything they wanted, about Mexicans, or whatever else, but excuse themselves by saying 'its just a joke'. So Lee went into one about Richard Hammond then said 'its just a joke' thereby confirming the satire of the act. He then went onto say, but even though its just a joke, its coincidently also what I think...
Well, I laughed!

It was Stewart Lee at his best. Along with the gig in Scotland talking about being part Scotch.
An extra comma would have helped for clarity.

The "Scotch" gig is brilliantly funny.
It is all about context.
He has joked about Anne Frank, those that died in WW1, Hiroshima, drug deaths etc. He didn't put his joke on twitter or say it on The One Show. He said it at a live gig. He's not shouting these jokes through people's letterboxes.
Basically people love offensive jokes until it comes round to something they find sacred. Ridiculous.
Yeah, but when you've just an operation for cancer and go along to his show ( which happened to me some years ago when he was at the Dome) and he starts taking the piss out of people with cancer, then you are entitled to be more than a bit miffed.
I think he can be incredibly funny, esp when compared with the current crop of Russell Howard's and John Bishop's.
