NAME

Everything I've ever heard (including his website) points to Jefferies as the proper spelling, NOT Jeffries. Change it? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.109.127.149 (talk) 15:54, 15 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Notability

His only claim to fame seems to be that a drunk member of the audience once hit him in Manchester. The entry seems to be a vanity/publicity piece, as witnessed by the fact a link to the video of him being punched has been posted on this "discussion" page. Why? 06:13, 05 July 2007 (UTC)

And a comedian who has featured on several television programmes, including Have I Got News For You, which is watched by millions on BBC One. The JPS^{talk to me} 16:05, 5 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

He is clearly not "is the funniest man ever to live". The link supporting this ludicrous claim doesn't work either. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Simonc1 (talk • contribs) 17:38, 20 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Rewrite

Previous versions of this article had limitations, and their speedy deletions were probably justified. I have rewritten this article and it now easily meets WP:BIO. The JPS^{talk to me} 14:00, 18 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Jim Jeffries Punched

http://youtube.com/watch?v=2WCGKb8ikRc Jim is live on stage and he get punched.

Why did the guy punch Jim Jeffries?

What is the story behind that?

He obviously had a particularly ugly vagina. --Uksam88 (talk) 15:20, 18 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

O&A

Is this page about Jim Jeffries or about his appearences on Opie and Anthony?

His official site spells his name Jefferies, not Jeffries. What's up?

Am I missing something here?

This part of the opening line

"Jim Jefferies[1] (born Sydney, Australia) (spelled as "Jim Jefferies" in the United States)"

Are they not exactly the same spellings? 90.218.188.163 (talk) 21:14, 19 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It seems to be more than an "internet smear campaign"

The page is currently locked after a mini edit war with a fair amount of vandalism, some of which has been labelled in the reverts as "an internet smear campaign"; I think that characterization might be accurate, but is one-sided as the debate seems to run in both directions. Since there are aspects of BLP here, I'm simply reporting here what I saw in a video (below) and the edit history of this page, and of course corrections/clarifications are welcome. I thought I'd add some evidence to the talk page to inform the discussion of what's going on. Here is the source of the "he's islamophobic" charge, this hidden camera video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=odCQhAezB_Q released by Avi Yemini video segments of whom were recorded some week ago but were included in a a recent Jeffries piece that aired in the wake of the Christchurch shootings. Yemini I'm not that familiar with but from my reading is apparently a pro-Israeli OZie who in the current political climate would likely be labelled as "alt-right", and whether he uses that label himself or not, he denies that he is far right. He is claiming that when "off camera" Jefferies presents a different persona to an interviewee and then edits the interview to color the interviewee and cover up Jefferies's own comments (which I would characterize as seemingly to stir up trouble, perhaps to evoke "candid" or "off guard" remarks). Watch from the beginning or here are some useful timestamps: 4:30 Jefferies indicates he has sketched a cartoon of Mohammed who he makes some mild criticism of, and 5:45 Jefferies criticizes the burka and, while no doubt joking, suggests "the dingo" would have vomited a Moslem baby. Avi Yemini at the beginning of this youtube suggests that there are more excerpts of this video soon to be released. 98.13.244.125 (talk) 01:08, 22 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I'm pretty sure whoever made these edits simply meant to point out a certain hypocrisy, namely that when right-leaning individuals make similar jokes or statements, they are regularly labelled as "islamophobic" by the mainstream media. Perhaps we should make a Controversy section, seeing as this story is fairly prominent (Avi Yemini's hidden cam video has been up for less than 2 days but has almost a million views). M .

There is video evidence of these things. They are not "claiming" when the videos are available to prove it. "I'm not a fan of Islam. I think that wearing a burka is stupid". Jim Jeffries is a liar and a toad. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.161.207.38 (talk) 13:36, 22 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I've only heard of him because of the controversy and then I go on wikipedia to learn more and there's no mention of it and in fact it is being actively blocked. This could be the most notable information about him. 2600:1700:E3A0:EF80:34DB:CF63:C233:F0C0 (talk) 18:32, 22 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

There has been another youtube video [1] which showed that Avi Yemeni himself edited his own recording to incorrectly portray the responses of Jim Jeffrey. The unedited footage was gained by purchase from Avi Yemeni's Patreon and clearly shows that the claims made are false in light of the material cut before and after certain segments of the video referring to the supposed 'Anti-Islamic and dingo baby quote' which was preceded by a disclaimer that Jim Jefferies feels the same about all religions, not singling out Islam in particular. Whilst I do not have a source for the next claim, the Muhammad drawing segment was always purported to be false as Jefferies later indicated, after mentioning he was drawing Muhammad, that he drew 'Mike'- referring to a person off screen. Apparently the footage showcasing this is on Avi Yemeni's Patreon and I strong suggest that the newly added controversy section be deleted or not refer to sources of dubious validity until a link to the unedited footage is given and is compared to the Jim Jefferies segment and the Avi Yemeni videos so that a conclusion under a reasonable standard of evidence can be surmised.24.44.9.27 (talk) 16:10, 25 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
