Jimmy Carr answers Russell Brand question with a consent joke

The audience exchange passed two million views in its first morning, far beyond the usual start for Carr's Shorts.

"What do you think about Russell Brand?!" #jimmycarr #crowdwork #hecklers #standup

An audience member asks Jimmy Carr what he thinks about Russell Brand. Carr repeats the question, pauses, and builds his answer around consent.

The Short uses a deliberate reversal: Carr's setup sounds as though he is defending Brand, before the words "Get consent" turn it into a joke at Brand's expense. Laughter and applause follow. It is a live stand-up exchange, not a statement from Brand or a report on his case.

Posted on Carr's official channel, the clip drew more than two million views before its first full day. The comments also arrived much faster than usual, with more than two thousand already posted.

Audience questions are a familiar part of Carr's channel. Its most-watched Shorts include exchanges about a former schoolmate, British and American food, and hecklers getting the better of him. Here, the prompt is a question about another comedian rather than someone in the room.
