@@switchitwithdc3612 your one of them hmmmm interesting
T20G ‘knows what the English language’
Says the low life troll.
with his purple velvet pants, I'd say more like a fanfiction child of shaggy, velma, and daphne's polyamorous thruple. Fred died in a horrible accident, they've framed his ascot above the fireplace
This man redefines comedy for me, he’s a genius
Yep, I heartily agree. His ability to tell stories is second to none imo. Wish him years of success.
Comedians have been doing the grumpyish, apathetic thing for years.
@@andrewsparkes8829 yes I agree. I'm talking more about how he weaves different themes through a show. This clip doesn't really do it justice, but see a full show and it makes more sense.
@@andrewsparkes8829 he isn't grumpyish or apathetic though. His stage persona has a very good way of seeming slightly miffed about most things and also really passionately positive about things without leaping about the stage and he has a subtlety and wittiness to him. James Acaster is James Acaster. He isn't another Jack Dee/Gregg Davies or a Michael Mcintyre or any of that. He's 100% James Acaster.
@@dannybuchanan3661 I was talking about his stage personae, though. Miffed is a synonym for grumpy, pretty much. My point was "comedians have put on an annoyed/grumpy/miffed/angry/etc personality for years". I was not saying he was a horrible person in reality. Merely pointing out he isn't that different to Stewart Lee or Jack Dee.
"good title" - god I didn't know he was so quick on his feet.
Yep, search for more of him, you'll see. :o)
If you haven't already, watch season 7 of taskmaster. He's amazing on it
@@willsunnyf1 Yes! I miss him being on Taskmaster, loved him on that.
@@willsunnyf1 that was a great series, not just for James, they all brought their A game. Every episode was a delight!
He’d be a blast to hang outbwith
I saw his Cold Lasagna tour earlier this year for the Wellington Comedy Festival in NZ, and it was the greatest comedy show ive ever seen. He stuck to his material for about 20 minutes and then ended up going on an hour long improv rant about how stupid of country New Zealand is. Was in absolute stiches.
would've loved to have seen that version. I saw the show in Australia. Brilliant
Saw it in Bradford, England, the funniest thing I ever watched, had to go outside for a breather bc I nearly passed out from laughing 😂
@@danielfeary a
“What’s it called?
Can’t tell you that yet.
That’s a good title.”
Timeless.
It genuinely is
man just chilling like a T.Rex
Akar263 Oh my god, you‘re right!
lil arms hahaha 😂😂
It’s like shaggy got dressed in velmas clothes the morning after
😂🤣
No disrespect but the turtleneck does weirdly suit him.
Elizabeth Rogers how dare you
The turtleneck may suit him but the new hair does NOT. Dudes with bangs...not a good look. And the weird tuft of hair that's sticking up is ludicrous.
@@stephaniezimbalist3757 I think he looks good and also, like, however he wants to wear his hair is his business.
@@elizabethrogers6764 Of course how he wants to wear his hair is his business just as whether the turtleneck suits him or not is his business. doesn't mean that you or I can't have an opinion on it. For me the dozen other ways that he wore his curly hair suited his face. He was such a cutie. For me, this short on the sides, with the There's Something About Mary tuft stick up looks terrible on him.
@@stephaniezimbalist3757 You're entitled to your opinion, but I think his hair is cute.
And they say supermodels have no sense of humour...
especially her of all people! shes known as an ice queen generally right?
Where’s the supermodel lmao?
@@lilymadalin Sure, but who?
If we don't know which one's the supermodel, we're not gonna know the supermodel's name, are we?
Dumb people say that
@@leafshade3643 then telling you their name as Lily did isn't going to help you know them any more than you already do clearly
Honestly never thought I’d see naomi campbell sitting by James acaster whilst he is wearing an orange turtleneck
Why would anybody have thought that? I bet if you'd asked 1000 people if they ever thought they'd one day see Naomi Campbell sitting next to James Acaster whilst he was wearing an orange turtleneck. not a single one would say yes. They would probably look at like you'd gone mad - not because of the arrangement of circumstances you describe, but for the fact that you would be asking them if they spent time thinking such things.. I mean, why would it even cross anyone's mind? No one has ever thought that.
There's no need to say 'honestly' as if you feel your bold claim may be met with scepticism and doubt. We believe you. It's hardly unexpected.
Personally I don't think I'll ever see Claudia Schiffer sat next to Russell Howard whilst he's wearing green corduroy dungarees, but if it ever happens, I won't suddenly be surprised that it had never entered my head to predict it.
Or do you usually spend time thinking about which combination of celebrities dressed in particular items of clothing of a specific colour and style you are one day going to see, and just when you're sure you've thought of them all, you see this one. So surprised are you that you'd never thought you'd see it that you decide the world should know? Well thanks for the heads up. If there are any other highly plausible things you see that you had failed to predict, please keep us informed.
(Don't do speed kids.)
em diar you must be really boring at parties
@@julianaarzy8573 Well. we can't all be the life and soul. The trouble is, I'm afraid I don't have enough anecdotes to keep my fellow guests entertained.
If only you were there to amuse us with tales of who you did and didn't think you'd one day see dressed in a particular fashion.
The "you must be boring at parties" cliché is still being employed I see. Well. I suppose it's easier than thinking one up of your own.
I'm surprised you didn't think to write "I'm a simple girl. I see James and I click" or any of the other worn out youtube-isms that litter the internet.
Sorry.... I can't keep it up. Just having fun. The wording of your original comment is so funny I had to reply.
Oh, and most people are really boring at parties. Haven't you noticed?
em diar okay so let me articulate in a way that it’s not an internet cliche. The thing is not how he is dressed or who he is sitting besides. It’s the combination, it’s amusing to me. If it’s not amusing to you I’m sorry my comment didn’t resonate with you.
em diar you truly missed the point of her comment or you understood the point yet made a conscious choice to write that response anyway...
5:44 I was laughing so hard when James replied instantly with "Oh.. well I didn't have you down as such an ...ignorant host!"
I love the idea of James just sat getting pissed while watching Queer Eye 😆
He was tipsy as hell
*James sitting in the corner, one hand holding a serving spoon dipped into a cold lasagne and the other holding a ladle of spiked punch from his massive punch bowl in the corner of the room*
The definition of Fun Time Thursdays.
@@moodini99 Blind Tipsy!
there is just so much to unpack in this clip that highlights why he's such a brilliant comedian. from the memorising most of the 500 albums in 2016, to being quick on his feet with the solo title name joke, even down to his ability to draw you into the story eg the lasagne description. he does it all and every ounce done to perfection.
Just like that lasagne...
@@isaacm5927 Indeed, he is especially quick witted and has a rare gift of pulling you into his quirky little stories! :)
His face alone is hilarious. He usually has a look like he's having a bad day. And then his eyes look to the side like he suspects someone is going to jump out and scare him.
"I was watching queer eye and getting drunk" is easily my favourite line from the whole show
Mine too
That must be the "Hate Myself" part of Cold Lasagna Hate Myself 1999
This interview is now a pilgrimage for me. Every time it gets recommended, or every time it crosses my mind, I must come here and watch it again.
Same.
I have this exact thing with the cabbage story.
Same. This has to be the 5th time I've watched it.
One of the funniest comedians going about at this moment
Kevin bridges is quite funny too
@@palmeristo a mean am a glasgow boy myself and nothing is funnier than scottish humour
Chris Fisher Scottish humour is decent but overrated
@@tomwhite7022 are you from scotland?
Tom White Frankie Boyle & Limmy are not overrated. 🤣
The 4 other guests could be replaced with plates of cold lasagna and the interview would be just as good, if not more enjoyable
Might have to be sort of drunk
Well thye had had their interviews, it was Jame's turn, so in respect the previous guests let jonathan and james run the show. im sure earlier on in the show they was more talkative
To be fair, they could all be replaced by lasagna, including james... lasagna beats all
cold lasagne hate myself 1999
how dare u disrespect harry like that
Great segment. All of Acaster's responses are 100% perfection. Guy is quick.
"What's the sauce called in a lasagne?" *Looks at Gemma Collins* - Classic.
That was useless, it wasn't swill.
Why is James, the dryest comedian ever, producing more energy than the rest of the occupants of that couch combined??
kayizcray if you know about Harry Redknapp it all starts to make sense
New jumper, new James
They are showing his interview...
I'm a big fan, but there are comedians far dryer
He's not dry at all lol wtf
I'm exclusively watching this because James Acaster is the best, don't know who anyone else is
Don't really need to do ya, not like they spoke😂😂
Same
You are very uneducated as 2 of them have more fame in there for-skin that this annoying orange
I mean, it does have James Acaster in the title, I assume that's why most people clicked.
@@user.0704 yes I am uneducated in my d-list British celebrities, I'd feel embarrassed if I was educated in such a useless topic
James is so much smarter than the rest of the guests that none of them noticed all the sarcasm
i think they got it haha
Gemma Collins did. Oh wait. No. She's a thick bastard
John Barnes got it, Harry looked bemused and the horrible women didn't get a thing.
John Barnes was laughing his ass off
@@MarkFarm Naomi laughed several times so it seems safe to say she got it
Love it at 7:51 when he’s trying not to crack up at the babble that’s coming out of his own mouth 😂
James Acaster is a very funny guy. It's good to see him working the unofficial comedy hierarchies and still putting on a great show.
Never thought a carrot could look so dashing.
I will always watch anything James Acaster, that man is hilarious
The other guests may as well not be there! 🤣
and what do you want them to do?? Interrupt him the whole time instead of politely listening?
When top class host meets top class comedian you get this. The back and forth is so clinical, I honestly can't believe it's not scripted.
I love this man so much, I just want to give him a big hug
Imagine being sat on that couch next to him and looking as awkward at they do, id be absolutely pissing myself
He has bowed out at the top of his game. A true comedy legend.
Has he definitely stopped? I know he said in some podcast it could go either way after the "Cold lasagne..." tour. But some people say that after a lot of pressure at work - Daniel Craig for example.
I do think James might be one of the top 10 funniest comedians of all time
Please.....
I prefer the style of interviewing where they include all the people on the couch in the conversations, instead of having them sit there silently for 10 minutes. More like Graham Norton.
I love him, hes so quick witted
I love when he nearly breaks character!
still one of my favorite comedians, he's soooo quick on his feet xD
Is this the most eclectic group of guests ever assembled on a TV talk show? From John Barnes, to Redknapp, then Gemma of all people and Naomi, and to top it off a hilarious ginger comedian in an orange turtleneck. Quite a range.
the book he’s promoting here was fantastic. 10/10 as a music and comedy fan would recommend
OMG he is SO FUNNY! So quick-witted. “Good title” omg 😂😂😂
This persona he wears on-air is amazing :)
"Can't tell you yet", "good title"
i love this, his comedy is not deadpan but his personality is lol its great
This was the most funniest late night talk I ever witnessed in my life! Brilliant!
I cant get enough of this man
Such a funny guy. Almost everything he says is hilarious
Literally the best comedian out there right now
I thought this guy isn’t gonna be funny , however he’s a genius and I was cracking up all the way through.
i forgot about this guy cause he's not on as much in the states but i love this guys comedy ! he's a funny smart dude .
I LOVE JAMES !!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️ soooooo muchhhhhh 😭
I love how socially awkward he seems, he’s just a great act all round. Shame it wasn’t Harry’s cuppa rosey
I think he is socially awkward, he's just made it a key part of his act
redknapps probs a bit too old skwl to get james barnesy was lauphing tho and GC was doing her all about me shit as usual
@@aliasofanalias7448 he’s actually very personable. The awkward thing is part of his act. He acts as if he was always a kid that was bullied and alone during his teenage years when he was actually in many bands, played the drums and had long hair. His persona is an act, a character, for his stand up.
James balances the 'celebrity' chorus to his left.
The jumper is straight out of the '60s and suites him SO well!
i should've known there was another reason I loved james aside from his quick wit and dry humour! a fellow Bey fan. A man of taste💞
I like how man just took over the entire show. Other guests are just sitting there watching LMAO
Honestly, I think James totally threw Jonathan Ross off
James is truly funny. Jo Ro never was
Gemma Collins nailing the "flirt with the air around me" look. How, as a country, have we made her a relevant entity?!
Well, at least I know who James A is but I haven’t a clue who she is...
@@rosalindarcher6060 You're lucky.
As thick as a proverbial brick, not relevant at all.
I'm getting very strong Ade Edmonson vibes with a touch of Jarvis Cocker and it's brilliant!
This was a shamful interview, comedians should be brought on first so they have more time to make jokes (like they've done in the past), here it just looks awkward because the rest don't have the skills to join in when it's not their turn
What a stupid thought. You want him interrupting others interviews to make jokes and you'll find that funny. Screams of a head trauma
@@charlielumley8889 It's a talk show. He's a comedian. It's alright. Calm down.
Gatekeeping much? Grow up.
@@charlielumley8889 Christ ur moronic. They did the same thing with Kevin Bridges and Jason Manford and they turned out great.
@@DimensionDevices Who? Wdym?
I LOVE JAMES ACASTER!!!
I put him up there with some of the quickest comedians, like Lee Mack and Russell Brand. Just funny on the spot.
Sean Lock is the best
Russell Brand??? ahahaha you're a good comedian too by the looks of it. Curly haired druggy communist
@@TheJPHarvey Curly hair? 1. How would you know what my hair looks like, creep, and 2. I don't have curly hair :P
Reminds me of Will Ferrell, in that every single thing he says is funny, whether it’s an actual joke or not.
I didn’t have you pegged as such a Beyoncé fan...
O well. Oh I didn’t have you pegged as su-such and ignorant host
**jonathan Ross with a look of why did you kill my family dog**
Not gonna lie. I liked it way better when I thought he called him an "ignorant toast".
@@cham888 lol I thought the same way too. He mentioned having an grill and not a toaster at the start
Can we cut this so it's just James and Naomi on the couch? clearly they're the only ones who are having a good time
John Barnes seems to enjoy himself as well tbf
Idk how James is staying so nonchalant sitting next to one of the most beautiful and intimidating of all time
Haha from 7:44 He didn't get hammered.....he got baked mate
Stumbled onto this... dude is really funny 😂😂
That whole speech from Gemma made me cringe. Fair play to her, a plugs a plug but let James have his moment.
"Do you agree that 2016 was the best year for music?"
"IM DOING A TRACK WITH NAUGHTY BOY"
@@genericname8727 thatd be all well and good, but she was asked a specific question and blew it off to boast and plug herself. She wasnt contributing to the conversation, only opportunistically being selfish and boastful
@@genericname8727 it would have been the answer to the question. She would have either agreed and expanded on why or disagreed and given an opinion why another year was better, or why assessing one year as the best is absurd. Instead she disregarded the question entirely and said something barely relevant about herself. The question fading into nothingness, the expectation set by the asker made defunct. Would have much rather had the question answered. Your opinion of a year of music's quality vs what you're doing with an artist that got brought up by secondhand afterthought to put the light on yourself. I'll chalk it up to them not knowing how to play ball conversationally with acaster and trying to be a part of things.
I'm glad she did because we got the "good title," joke from James.
Sliding into this comment a full year late just to say... Naughty Boy has pulled the plug on the Gemma Collins collaboration 😂 Thought I’d do a quick search to see if it had come out yet and found a story on the metro from July this year
My favourite man on earth right now.
He is 100% on form here, it’s like a movie
he looks like he's under heavy medication....but f#ck this guy is quick!!!!!! amazing
James is the quickest comedian I’ve seen
I love the guests just sitting there not getting it at all. Like not even a little bit.
OMG! I'm as weird as James Aacster's friends.
I used to climb an old windmill with binoculars so I could write down the numberplates of passing cars.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Honestly, the best thing about this is the reaction of the other guests. Gemma and Harry Redknapp look so painfully confused. 🤣
Gemma Collins looks like James just shat on the floor
Yer Gran You never know with him.
I have such a huge crush on James!
"Yeah....rubbish years" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
James is so funny, he could actually pull Naomi Campbell. Never seen her having so much fun.
Very true.
dunno why u would want 2
@@stuart9154 you should go to Specsavers, mate
@@NotDingse simp
@@stuart9154 i didn’t even know who she was before reading the comments, but i’m not afraid to admit she’s my type
He's so British, I love it!
He's kind of a blend of Lee Mack, Sean Lock and Ross Noble + his own unique style, quips and qwerks. Then his stand up has the Billy Connolly-esque seamless storytelling where there is not always a defined set-up -> punchline. AND THEN the total willingness to break character/4th wall on a routine is amazing. This is all IMO, but what a phenomenal comedian.
Also sidenote, there's not many comedians I've seen where the comments are filled with ladies going "huehuehue yeahhh , keep talking pretty boy "👁👄👁
I love the way he always looks like where the hell am I?
I love how the other guests are just sitting there and not even reacting
But why am I laughing just as hard during this interview as I was during his Netflix special
I love the James Acaster persona the bravado. The way he sits, the sacarasm.
Naughty boy ft Gemma Collins... this is worse than Brexit.
Rhys Crownshaw 😂🤦🏽♀️
the only thing jemma is good at is being laughed at and warming a big seat up
'I Can't Tell You Yet' would make a good song title though 😂
the way he recovered from almost getting his punch line off
I love him 🤣🤣🤣💚
6:16 lol is she for real I don't believe she can actually love herself that much
oh she can. and the thing is, itv are paying her to be like that.
i don't think she's necessarily in love with herself, she's just been media trained to mention her projects if any opportunity arises
yeah but she’s claustrophobic Darren
@@sazgibbo652 You know her personally like?
Amazing how instantly as soon as someone spoke to Gemma Collins, she started talking about herself.
to be fair about what he said about 2016 having the best music... bts did come out with blood, sweat and tears and that was like wayyy ahead of it's time
He’s a legend
Still waiting for "I can't tell you yet" to drop
He’s freaking brilliant
I agree with both his sentiments, 2016 was definitely the best year for music and kids do not practice!
the fact that this man, mr james acaster said all of this next to fashion icon and supermodel naomi campbell is so wild to me
Rocking the marvel vans 🙌
I like how John Barnes got more into it the longer he went on.
Awesome
acaster has 10 times the charisma as the other guests combined
