Jack Caroll through because of his disability?!
Might be a bold statement to alot of you on here but in my opinion him being disabled helped him alot..
He wasn't particularly funny in any sense if this was a abled person he wouldn't have got through. Before anyone says im not being prejudice I have family members in wheelchairs! |

The old "I'm not racist I've got black friends excuse".

I think so, yes. He was good for his age, but did not deserve place in the final.

Wowzers!!!!! You're the first person I've read who thinks that. You'd have thought someone else on DS might have touched on this subject but, nope.

Or maybe, just maybe, other people did find him funny and voted accordingly, irrespective of his disability.....

To be honest, if he was able bodied, his joke about "Do you know what I can't stand" and cutting out the middle man when giving money to Scope would've been pretty sh1te and not made any sense at all.

So im not aloud an opinion as they are disabled? That automatically makes me prejudice?
You were the one who mentioned disability, I'm just pointing out the humour in what people always come out with. "Them foreigners nicking our jobs, but I'm not prejudiced my dad's polish!". ![]() Or, moving away from all that. You simply didn't find him funny, and others did. |

But why does that have to mean the people who DO find him funny are only doing so because he's disabled? |

I found him really naturally funny! I understand why his audition focussed on his disability, but his semi performance was more rounded.
I think him being disabled gave him a little more in terms of material he could relate to, but it would only give him a little edge. I definitely don't think it is the only reason he got through - if you're not funny, you're not and I don't think it's something you can fake. He definitely didn't fake it. He's not perfect, by any means, but I think that's just his age - I think we might just be seeing more of him when he's older!

Sounds like he has to choose. Either hes disabled or hes funny.
Doesnt work like that. I think its great to see someone disabled not only seeing things positive but who also develops a talent out of it. |

It helped alot there have been many comedians on the show better than him and haven't succeeded
But, again, which comedian is "better" entirely depends on people's sense of humour so for you to say he's only through or liked because of his disability is ridiculous. Purely because you didn't find him funny. |

He doesn't have to chose hes just got to have talent which sadly he was lacking
