The inappropriate comments are really unfunny and never get a laugh in the house just an embarrassed silence.

Too little, too late and too little thought to be frank.

Look let's leave the late Mr Carson out of it shall we?

Hardly true, Casey was laughing at Jim's comment that this thread is based on.

[Kizzy]

I saw her smile and turn away....not laugh.

Was not the time or place for that. Casey looked uncomfortable after a forced laugh

...this 'old school' thing is so annoying because Jim's is a specific humour that does and has always appealed to some people but never appealed to others, even 'back in the day'...yes, I know that there were other comedians with a similar humour but there was also many comedians who didn't make 'ist' jokes..sexist/racist etc...humour is and has always been subjective to what we each personally find amusing and his humour has never been my thing, nor do I personally know any 'real life' older people who thought it was funny or said anything similar themselves...to me the 'old school' is never any excuse either because he's lived many years in between to know better about some of the things he says...


..anyway, that aside, I didn't see all of CBB last night so didn't see a question to Ollie..?...but I did see the thing with Casey...I think it was a dumb thing to say, if he had thought about what he was actually saying..he's said a few similar things since being in the house and the main reason I think that it's dumb is because of the Yewtree thing and I believe/think that the investigations into him were from allegations from 20 something females..?...so if he thought about it, then it's something that maybe he would think it was maybe something he shouldn't say...but he obviously hasn't thought like that and has just made what is 'typical of his humour', which to me at least shows a more relaxed Jim/un guarded Jim and his humour has always been controversial and very much not to everyone's taste...I don't think his comment to Casey was anything more than a jokey one, maybe a silly on to make in view of the fact that he's trying to change public opinion of himself, but it doesn't either make me think... ughhh, so he hasn't changed at all as a person because I personally have seen some surprising positive qualities in him through his time in the house and think he's probably a bit of a 'work in progress' but still maybe learning and reflecting on his past mistakes..I hope this whole thing and the positive support he has had will help and encourage him...as for his humour, well I'll probably never like that and will leave it to people who do because it is just a personal taste...

[Ammi]

..actually, that was a bit of a long drawn out post....what I mean is that Jim has always had a very dubious sense of humour, that's largely what makes him so controversial, so I'm not sure what the comment to Casey 'revealed'...nothing really, for me anyway...he's not the first comedian, either past, present or probably in the future to push boundaries with his humour and maybe sometimes be a bit 'inappropriate' with it...

..as a person and a housemate...he's been a key person in the series/definitely flawed with good and bad like all of them/showed some admirable self control and as worthy a winner as anyone...

..I'd still rather Luisa won though.....

exactly, one of jims funniest yet in my opinion.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

It was a little bit strange strange.

[ChristmasNeeve]

Was a bit creepy tbh

Yeah, exactly, she looked a little uncomfortable about it

[Ellen]

It was a jokey comment, thats all. Casey didnt look uncomfortable imo, i think she knows Jim's sense of humour by now & doesnt take him seriously.

[HBB1508]

Blimey it was a joke between friends in the house - nothing sinister or cringy about it imo. Seems our new PC culture has stripped us of having any sense of humour at all - very sad.

[Pincho Paxton]

The alternative to it being a joke is that he was serious. When the alternative is impossible to believe you are left with the truth.. it was a joke.

Obviously it was a joke, i don't think anyone is disputing that, it's whether they found it funny or a bit off putting/creepy

I think it depends on your own mind really,when he said that, I laughed and moved on ,forgot about it until it was posted on here,the joke has been used in films and has been around years and has also been used by women about fit men,,cant believe no one has heard it before,I think because people have a pre-conception of Jim,they will be offended because it seems PC to be offended by those sort of jokes,and things he says,its like the shirt lifter comment,were people REALLY offended by that?

[Suze]

Whether said in jest or not, it was a very silly thing to say, and obviously will be picked up on, can't see BOTs letting that comment slide at all.

Funnily enough I expected it to be mentioned, it was all about Lee!

A film is a different thing.. Casey is a real person, and Jim is speaking to her from a fatherly point of view, asking for hugs, then cracking sexual jokes afterwards.

We've seen Dappy and Luisa tackle Lee and give him quite assertive counsel about the messages he has been giving out, but when Ollie and Dappy were speaking to Lee after Casey's mother left, Jim said something along the lines of "surely it's none of our business" then asked to go into the bathroom where Casey was crying, saying "I can get nowhere with the boys." or words to that effect.

Good old Jim, glad to see he hasn't lost his brilliant sense of humour...

The PC brigade in here are even funnier though

I'm not referring to any users in particular, just that I find the outrage amusing...

I don't care if you're referring to someone in particular or not, it's still not allowed to insult FMs or fans of HMs
