@@CraftBasti Piers Morgan is a famous journalist in the UK, and he’s (generally speaking) centre-right socio-politically. He’s seemingly reasonable enough to collect a large listening audience, but pretty fucking problematic in a lot of socio-political conversations. Acaster is socio-politically left of centre, so his outrage is expected and pretty funny. To what extent this is a true statement, I’m not sure, but Piers is kinda like a gateway drug for centrists to think more suspiciously of liberal socio-politics, and presents as an archetype of a white middle-aged man who’s becoming despondent with cultural change, and is most comfortable living with their ‘lot’. He also just comes across as a bit of a nob. Ps to anyone reading - I pure don’t care to debate on the validity of Piers’ journalism, I’m just blobbing together my peripheral experience of the zeitgeist that involves him, speaking as a largely uninterested British citizen on the sensationalism of modern media styles. If you like him, you can live forever or die tomorrow, it’s really non of my business or interest. Peace ✌🏼
@@benjamonpookoo2741 that is by far the best and comprehensive answer I could have hoped for. Thank you very much, I really appreciate you taking your time to explain it to me
@@j0rd4ns please refer to the part where I say I really don't care. If you disagree, maybe express your own thoughts rather than critiquing mine. I'm trying to express myself without exaggeration or extreme so to avoid outrage responses.
Was this the same year we were all congratulating and cheering for nurses and doctors and people in the care sector during the pandemic ? To come out and say Morgan is wild
The moment with Lorraine reminded me how a lot of vacuousness leads to fame. She’s a delightful person to watch on ‘lite’ amusement TV, but that riff on Piers was revealing.
I love that he doesnt play the game honestly. Theres a clip of him in a show with jimmy carr where they joke about jimmy carr evading taxes, and everyone laughs, and james is like "so hes completely off the hook, were just joking around about it now?" And it completely fucking kills the polite complacent vibe. Everyone looks super uncomfortable. And i live for it. So many people act like stereotypically edgy comedians are these brave truth tellers but killing the cosy, "yes, and" when he smells bullshit? That is brave. Even if its to lorraine kelly. And that definitely scares people.
UK Pray Acaster stays in comedy, if he goes into politics, you're looking at a Leader for Life. and you thought your Bag for Life was going to be around for ever.
I'm honestly trying, I really am, but I swear I've never found a clip of James Acaster being funny - ever. I'm sure there are people who find him funny and that's fine but I just do not see why he is funny.
If it's of any help, I'll be the first to say that it doesn't matter if you don't find him funny. Ignore anyone making fun of that fact or who are trying to tell you to force yur sense of humou to change and go do more fun things instead :)
Watch taskmaster! He was hilarious in that. Also the panel shows he’s a guest on. If that doesn’t do it for you, then I think your sense of humor is just different from his and the people that like him. To be fair, I love James but his stand up can be a bit too whimsical at times. I prefer shows where he just says what comes to his mind on the spot.
Josh and James are hilarious, the disabled guys aren't funny at all and only got a break due to positive discrimination. Not to mention they never shut up about their disability.
The *immediate* _"Go fuck yourself"_ from James to *Lorraine Kelly* will forever be one of the best moments in TV. Ever.
Could you please explain to me what the deal was there? Who was the person whose name made James so upset and why exactly?

he has a way of telling a story which makes it seem that he is making it along as he goes. Scary thing is, it's all TRUE!
I was wearing a dress at this point
@@Lucas-pw8tp I mean the dress is all well and good but why were you in a bush when there was a bench *right there*
@@finmiles965 well there's an old saying that goes "you're warmer in a bush than on a bench"
@@michaeltagor4238 oh I’ve heard that saying before….Confucius I think? Socrates?
There's no actual proof that any of his stories are true.
James hands down has the greatest stand up specials I have ever seen. Repertoire was absolutely next level
hands down stand up.......sounds tricky!
@@amazingusername8925 It's called a hand-stand mate, even my 54 year old dad can do it.
@@PyroPsycho95question - are you standing up during a hand stand?
This is deep philosophy
i love the idea of a mouse farting itself into a different species
Dude, he was just palying a mouse, but was a boy ! Dang !!!!
One of the best comedians out there
And a genuinely likeable person
not even close. he simps too hard
He’s not mate, he’s crap
@@marlinderwall8873 mate what
Oh did Ricky Gervais appear? I might watch.
2:51 Iconic moment right there
I don't know why you're only showing clips. James Acaster existing is the best moments. But, you know, fair play.
It's so rare to see Acaster nearly lose it, but he does at 05:54
"tea bagged to kingdom come."
100% my favorite comedian
6:51 is probably the most underrated moment here haha
He was at his best on countdown and task master
he steals the show on WILTY. best guest on that show second only to bob mortimer
Blockbusters, never forget
"what a satisfying 'doink!' noise"
When you wait patiently for the best moment to say something powerful. Respect.
😂😂😂.
Was this the same year we were all congratulating and cheering for nurses and doctors and people in the care sector during the pandemic ? To come out and say Morgan is wild
James is a great storyteller
He's fantastic.
The moment with Lorraine reminded me how a lot of vacuousness leads to fame. She’s a delightful person to watch on ‘lite’ amusement TV, but that riff on Piers was revealing.
Thats a lot of judgement to make off a bit. She was trying to be funny in an ironic way not sincerely defending him.
"Getting off with an elf" oh James with an elf😂😂😂 1:05 James' Evil Stare is so EPIC!! 1:32 😂😂
He’s too good for a free🍌
I fear James Acaster
i love him so much
I love that he doesnt play the game honestly. Theres a clip of him in a show with jimmy carr where they joke about jimmy carr evading taxes, and everyone laughs, and james is like "so hes completely off the hook, were just joking around about it now?"

And that definitely scares people.
Does this mean he's coming in the next episode?
Yes, he’s on it tonight.
James always looks handsome!
Surely if a flute player is called a flutist, a didgeridoo player must have a special name too... Didgeridooer? Didgeridooist?
A flute player is actually called a flautist.
Drop the skin joutine James
UK Pray Acaster stays in comedy, if he goes into politics, you're looking at a Leader for Life. and you thought your Bag for Life was going to be around for ever.
He will age well.
Shit... I hope I don't ruin my band by telling the drummer to slow down. It's a real possiblity.
I’m here cos some online friend thinks I sound like him
Why does he look stoned pretty much all the time?
How Sour Is He ?
Censorship Made Him Sour, Dinnit ?
Who's Not First ?
I never get his appeal, Except for Ghostbusters Frozen empire he was good in that.
You'd have to be British, I think...
you don't... he is just not funny
not british and you're both mongos
He's a good story teller.
I think you have to be a fan of panel shows
I'm honestly trying, I really am, but I swear I've never found a clip of James Acaster being funny - ever.
I'm sure there are people who find him funny and that's fine but I just do not see why he is funny.
What most people do when they find a comedian that they don’t find funny is not click on clips dedicated to said comedian
@@johnwhittaker311 well they clarified right at the start that they're trying to find a clip that they find funny
Have you watched him on Would I lie to you? It's a good introduction to his sense of humour I think
If it's of any help, I'll be the first to say that it doesn't matter if you don't find him funny. Ignore anyone making fun of that fact or who are trying to tell you to force yur sense of humou to change and go do more fun things instead :)

I’d thought he’d be funnier than in his rant about Ricky Gervais. Well, I tried.
What's the matter? Too challenging for ya?
@@dyodoleu No, he’s repeating mainstream media views and that’s fine. “I support the people in charge” shouldn’t be judged. But he ain’t funny.
@@littlecatfeet9064 Bad luck! He's a comedian, he's supposed to challenge people.
@@dyodoleu no, he’s supposed to make people laugh. That’s why they pay big $.
@@littlecatfeet9064 Well he's making me laugh! :D

Then stop watching then.
This is a horrible comment. I literally don't have any other way of describing it
