Jimmy Carr blasted over dark 9/11 joke in new Netflix show just months after Holocaust gag

Jimmy Carr has landed himself in hot water once again after making a joke about the 9/11 terror attacks and Osama Bin Laden on Netflix.

It comes just months after the comedian was lambasted over a gag he made about Roma gypsies and the Holocaust.

The latest controversial joke is included in the streaming giant's new show, The Best Of Netflix Is A Joke: The Festival.

In the clip, jimmy compares a singer leaving One Direction to the September 11 terror attacks that saw almost 3,000 lose their lives.

“Now you might think this is silly, but it’s absolutely true," he says. "When Zayn left One Direction, for me, it was like 9/11 — I didn’t care about that either.

“I was actually supposed to be on one of the planes on 9/11, but the more interesting story is how I met Osama.”

In February this year, Jimmy was slammed for making a joke about the Holocaust in his Netflix show, His Dark Materials.

In a clip from the show, which aired on Christmas Day, the 8 Out of 10 Cats host warned the audience to "strap in".

Addressing the crowd Jimmy said: "When people talk about the Holocaust they talk about the tragedy of six million lives being lost to the Nazi war machine, but they never mention the thousands of Gypsies killed by the Nazis, because no one wants to talk about the positives."

Prior to launching the show, the father-of-one called some of the jokes "career enders" and he may have had a point.

One viewer wrote: "It’s estimated that around 75% of Europe’s gypsy and Roma population were murdered in the Holocaust. Take @jimmycarr off the air and cancel all his projects immediately.

Another said: "Absolutely abhorrent. I know we joke about it but we have a serious issue regarding offensiveness in comedy.

"The number of people I’ve known, and talked with on dating apps for example, that talk about comedy purely through offensiveness is worrying. Evil from Carr."
