"As a Redditor of several years, let's just say that I didn't use to be particularly vocal about my daily consumption of subreddits (individual communities on the site) such as Malicious Compliance (mistakes people make at work, passive-aggressively), or the fairly self-explanatory Am I The Asshole? (AITA). These days, though, Reddit isn't just for people who live in basements everyone seems to be on there, rubbernecking in threads like Open Marriage Regret or just indulging in TV fandom."
"The concept is simple: members of the public, who may or may not be online content creators, tell a story of possible assholery to host Carr and panellists GK Barry and Jamali Maddix in front of a studio audience. The trio then decide who is the biggest asshole (arsehole?) of the day, gently ribbing them in the process (sometimes not-so-gently, too this is Mr Bad Taste, Jimmy Carr, after all)."
Jimmy Carr's Am I the A**hole? adapts the Reddit AITA format into a studio panel show where members of the public recount morally ambiguous incidents to host Jimmy Carr and panellists GK Barry and Jamali Maddix. Contestants may or may not be online content creators. The panel judges who is the biggest 'asshole' and mocks contestants before a live audience, blending casual verdicts with ribbing that can become harsh. The format resembles a stripped-down, less wholesome Would I Lie to You?. The show frequently leans on shock value and crude jokes, including routine references to paedophilia, producing moments that feel incoherent and gratuitously provocative.
