Bon appétit! James Acaster serves up pure genius and explains what happened in the Great British Bake Off tent...
"I'm not sure many people have said this before... I fell off the wagon during Bake Off!"
WINNER OF THE MOST OUTSTANDING SHOW AT MELBOURNE INTERNATIONAL COMEDY FESTIVAL 2019
“There’s a rush you get when you watch a routine that has been burnished to gem-like perfection, every phrase and pause chiseled and grooved to maximize the surprise; I felt drunk on it after two hours of this set. Joke after joke operates on a plane to which standup seldom ascends.” - The Guardian
“James Acaster already has a reputation as a comedy craftsman, but here he has surpassed even his own superlative standards…the way Acaster constructs his story, the way he develops themes and teases out humorous strands, is true genius.” - Evening Standard
“A revelation…career-defining two-hour show.” - The I Paper
Filmed 17.01.2019 EartH in Hackney, London.

Being A Caster you’d have thought six identical cream horns would be a doddle:
A Caster
2. To attempt to have your cake and eat it too...
In addition...
A Caster is a person that can shift an occupied room’s atmosphere or mood by their presence alone. This can be attributed to the caster’s strong aura or spiritual energy emanating from their heart chakra or a very strong emotional state. Caster’s have the ability to shift the atmosphere of a room in both spectrum of polarity. Good or Bad. Warning ⛔️ Some casters are oblivious to this ability.
James, Vimeo is trash. The app is garbage and makes it as hard as possible to watch your special. Is there any way you can get away from this pos company??
I watched this clip before I watched the show (Cold Lasagne Hate Myself 1999). I thought this clip was hilarious until I learned the entire context of what happened to him before and after this moment in his life. I'm glad he said that he is actually already done processing everything he shared in the show, but it still made me really really sad to hear how he felt throughout the stories in this show. This special was both more energetic but also more depressing than he previous special Repertoire.
The only joke is you.
And yet through that whole experience, he still came up with "Started baking, had a breakdown...bon appetit!"
Which seems to be his introduction to the casual observer.
I've always thought, and this clip makes it far more likely that I'm right, that him saying that was more just... him explaining the situation. He started making it, had a literal breakdown, and here it is. Obviously, he's a brilliant comedian and put his spin on it, but it's never come across to me as an actual joke.
@@totalweirdo8538 You're right, it wasn't. He goes on talking about the meme and it wasn't supposed to be funny.
@@totalweirdo8538 Yep! He was genuinely being serious when he said it
Having watched it, this is only about the first day of bake off - it actually got worse by the second day, poor James!
"And he couldn't intervene because of David Attenborough's code. Despite his moral objections"
Most underrated line in this clip 😂😂
Can you explain it? I don't get the reference over here in Canada.
David Attenborough does a lot of nature documentaries and the camera team often see some harrowing moments. Sometimes they might feel like they can step in and stop it happening but morally they can’t because if they weren’t there it would’ve happened. Seriously heartbreaking stuff, I’ll always remember a little baby bird being blown out of its nest on a rock… you’d think it’d jump back in but it couldn’t and unless the parents see the chick in the nest they won’t feed it… as I said heartbreaking and easy to fix but morally complex. There have been a few occasions they’ve stepped in - search up them saving penguins.
@@Emma-yq7pk thank you, I have seen most of his Documentaries! They look really good in 4k and have so much heart!
I CACKLE EVERY TIME
@@Emma-yq7pk Morally straightforward. They just prioritized accurate footage over the well-being of those in frame. Simple as. Nature is not sacred, it's stupid for us to get hung up over our involvement when we're already rocking the boat of the global ecosystem to such ludicrous degrees and have no desire or intent to ever stop doing so.
The mental image of Paul Hollywood staring down at the worlds worst bowl of porridge knowing it contains his grim and inescapable doom was truly a blessing.
The line where he says "while nothing happened to some custard for 45 minutes" is like the most underrated joke of the whole special. That killed me. lmfao
lmao, I thought the same about the line about the camera guy not intervening because of the David Attenborough code. brilliant
These two moments are in fact the real gems of this clip😂
I feel bad that James had a difficult time on bake off. BUT that clip is where I discovered him as a comedian, so I’m happy it led to that. That being said, I have had jet lag and been awake for 36 hours before and it was not a good time. So I’m mostly impressed he could do anything in that state.
💯
Have you seen him on would I lie to you? The cabbage story is my absolute favorite
First trip to Australia I was jet lagged so bad thinking I was on the verge of passing out, that I let the family grab anything from the supermarket just to get out and to our lodging.
I’d need to have jet lag to enjoy this guy, and heroin.
@@JNO1972 Its his channel and his name is in the title. What did you think you were clicking on?
"They made me look like a freewheeling madman fucking up for no reason" And can you blame your fans for falling for it, James?
I thought that was his 'brand'
Not sure there is anything to fall for. He wasn't in a good place back then.
He says that's not what he's usually like, but I've seen a fair bit of his content and I didn't even notice he looked tired at all on the show. He just seemed himself but more confused.
I like how every time he pauses for the audience to laugh he looks like he's incredibly pissed off
Because every time someone laughs at him he suspects they're his enemy
One of the best things about this special was his outright contempt for the audience. As comedic devices go, telling the audience repeatedly how sincerely you hate them, and having them not only burst into hysterics but genuinely take your side in the argument, is about as good as it gets.
It's called "staying in the bit" it's what you do with longer bits that need a certain tone to be delivered. If he breaks or soften his emotion the bit loses its power and his delivery can get messy.
@@brianmathews2926 goddamn crizzos
@@brianmathews2926 There is the one part at the end where he cracks when everyone is really nice about mental health and he gets derailed
Even more impressed by the Bake Off editor who managed to make one of the most popular episodes while on the day they probably wrote off James' "performance" completely.
Give us the Acaster cut!!
40 minutes of him blacking in and out of consciousness while nothing happens to some custard?
@@StrawberryCrush2000 Everything, including that.
@@JeniJustJeni ESPECIALLY that
I would pay to see the whole unedited time. Just a 10 part series of him and the whole experience.
Still to this day, I do not know what a cream horn actually is. I could google it, yes, but I'm opting to stay ignorant of the knowledge in a show of solidarity for James. ✊
Cream horns are DELICIOUS!!!!!
Strength in numbers 😤
I think googling cream horn would bring up some naff results anyway
Monke stronk together ✊🏻
Imagine a sweet croissant that's a tad dry filled with sweet cream. They're alright, but nothing to write home about.
“I fell off the wagon during Bake Off.”😂
“Blairwitching it all over the place” gets me every time 😂
Right......
😂😂😂
And ironically bake off was the first time I ever saw James, and there was no way back 😅
this is delightful context for the whole bake off episode lmao i mean, what a desaster he was, but so fucking funny. and now its even more funny.
also pretty sad though :,(
Absolutely adore James Acaster. Since discovering his great humour on WILTY and then onto Taskmaster, I cannot get enough. I like clever, I like sarcastic and a little warped, mostly I really like all three with great humour. He has all.
Lol his meltdown over the garage was truly amazing.
And the hula hooping...I felt for him
Check out his podcast “off menu”
Someone made an hour long edit of all his cabbadge stories.
@@thesandwich5321 Love the cabbadge montage! 😁👍
I love how he says that part was too real for bake off but they included "started making it. Had a breakdown. Bon appetit"
This guy is pure gold.
And "Right, I wish I were dead"
Pure gold ?.....clown
James Acaster on Bake Off was iconic and everyone was talking about it for ages. Not pleasent at the time but definitely made him blow up online.
It’s my most rewatched episode of the bake off because of James! ‘Started baking, had a breakdown, bon appetit’ is a classic already.
I feel so sad that James was struggling while I was laughing at him. I really did think it was a bit.
In fairness it's exactly the sort of bit he'd do
When I saw it, I was just like, "My god, he's done it again. This man is the future of comedy"
I also feel that James’s work on Bake Off was stellar- CERTAINLY the best of his weekend.
I didn't realize how he was struggling in life during that time until I watched the entirety of this show. This clip is out of context in a way, I won't spoil it for you, but I highly recommend anyone to watch the entire show.
Yawn.....
"The cameraman is Blair Witch'ing all over the shot".. Genius!
6:57 Actually, as his fan, I was glad(and also sad) to hear his story of rough days, and I think such stories should be told more than now. Not only him, but many other celebs have to. It's shouldn't be taboo.
I would love a sit-com where James finds himself in a scrape every episode, preferably involving cabbage, where he has a massive breakdown, screams for Rylan who turns up and fixes everything without any issues.
Ever Decreasing Rylans
That would be great, but meanwhile you should definitely read/listen to James Acaster's Classic Scrapes (if you haven't already)! It's delightful.
Whenever I'm stressed I say to myself "at least I'm not James Acaster on bake-off"
James absolutely looks like he is currently experiencing the worst jetlag of his life ALL THE TIME.
I love it when he screams "Rylan!"
" he's just Blaire witchin" it behind the camera "
😂😂😂
I started laughing so hard I cried during the “THIS DOESN’T FEEL NICE!” bit.
Young man unloading his issues in a living room sounds exactly like every holiday at my house
i want the director's cut of james acaster on bake off
#ReleaseTheAcasterCut
I DID think James was a little extra chaotic on bake off 😂😂
I just watched the bake off clips and really when you consider the condition he’s in, he actually does incredibly well! Both in cooking and comedy, don’t think I’d be standing!
The best part about this bit is that it's the greatest stoner routine ever, without even being about weed.
Watching again after Paul Hollywood’s appearance on the Off Menu Podcast. “You ruined my fucking life.” - James Acaster to Paul Hollywood. 🤣🤣🤣
I like to think even when James states something matter-of-factly, people laugh at it and he doesn’t know why.
its his delivery, he definitely knows
I discovered James Acaster from his series Taskmaster. When I recognized his voice in Cinderella I knew I was a proper fan. Thanks for uploading these and stay safe out there.
Recommend his off menu food podcast if you haven't listened to it yet ✌
@@MrClayJohn I haven't, thanks for the tip!
He also talked about this on the Michelle Keegan episode of the Off Menu podcast. She was brilliant, and a lot funnier than I expected.
She's a cheese board loving cheater.
And the terry hatcher episode as well, since she was on the show as well.
@@maxbarnt3835 James' reactions to guests choosing cheese is honestly my favourite part of the podcast (as a cheese lover myself 😏)
@@eddotron1224 Into Trafalgar Square you go!
@@kimaboe I regret nothing! 🧀🧀🧀
4:12 My man did almost a minute of jokes, making people laugh, without any dialogue whatsoever.
SO good!
I have never laughed at a comedian so hard in my life. I was trying to sip my coffee when watching this, started laughing with coffee in my mouth, then CHOKED because I'm special. The coffee came out like a spraying hose and went directly for my friend's handmade blanket (which I also previously accidentally set on fire), and her DND books. Still choking, I picked up the sentimental blanket, rushed to the bathroom to wash the coffee out, but managed to pull the shower curtain and rod down onto me on the way. 10/10, would recommend this video!
Thanks James, definitely made my morning more memorable! 😂😂
How did you set fire to it?
@@firestar2557 accidentally knocked it off the couch and onto a heater
And to top it all off, there's an ad for the great british bakeoff right on this page. It's like getting cabbaged all over again.
What a guy, you're a hell of a trooper and I want to thank you for everything you do for us ♡
3:52 he was well within his right to break character for a split second, that Attenborough code line was straight up murder 😂
I would watch a whole episode of him having a breakdown on bake off
Well you're in luck...
Honestly, I can't understand why comedians like Louis C.K. or Ricky Gervais are as celebrated as they are - James is WAY better! His Netflix specials are the best bits of comedy I've ever seen in my life. They had me in stiches for the whole time. James, I LOVE YOU!
It's crazy that he isn't better known!
I like all three.
I refuse to watch C K … but I love Ricky
What? Lol. You don't have to put other comics down to say you like acaster
@@Halcy_n True, but I just wanted to illustrate that it is - in my personal opinion - completely unfathomable that those two guys are considered gods of comedy and James is not (yet) ;P I just wanted to express that he exeeds every big name out there :D
As someone who had a coffee addiction and quit and then relapsed after not sleeping for a long time there no worse feeling than feeling highly caffeinated but on the verge of falling sleep being so tired lololol
4:13 to 5:06 he's just holding the audience by saying nothing.
I really wish we had seen him saying "this doesn't feel nice"
Screw the David Attenborough code, send help!
“Even though he morally objected to it-he has to let it play out…”
You had me at ““Even though he morally objected to it-he has to let it play out…”
❤
I have to watch it again with this new information...
You should probably also know that he called a suicide hotline that evening because he was feeling so bad. As he says... too real for Bake Off.
I’m a British Baking show fan, this was hysterical. I’m sad I don’t get to see the full show cuz I’m in the US.
There's a British TV subreddit which often posts Google drive links to such shows
I love this routine. It lives rent free in my head. Acaster is such a great storyteller.
Having a pretty rough mental health day and chronic pain. I appreciate this so much right now! Really love James! Such a funny and genuine person. ❤
I will be starting a petition for Bake Off to release the full footage of everything that happened in that tent.
Ah, bless him. He’s a sweet boy.
I would like it to be known I laughed so hard I had an asma attack, however I had just eaten. So I also threw up.
Let me reiterate, I found this so fucking funny, I, an adult, had to go to the ER because I laughed so hard vomit went out my nose.
Apologies if this is disgusting but I had to suffer through it so you can too./j
Asthma
bruuuuuuh
@@notsquash3980 Seeeeeesssss, stay dumb
@@firstsurname7099 dont want to be rude but could you repeat that i dont understand
@@notsquash3980 Yup that's obvious
Can't stop watching this! Cry laughing every single time!! Love him!! Need to see him live!
Hollywood: Great flavor, poor execution
Acaster: Story of my life
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Acaster is the 'every man'
Bless you, you poor thing! I’m kinda sorry I laughed so hard. It was like laughing at your best friend after they take a spastic fall. Thank you for being able to laugh at yourself and let us laugh along. Just so you know, every time I mess up a dish I’m cooking I still serve it to the family and when they start to ask what happened I repeat your line ending with bon appetit and everyone laughs and then eats it anyway. Thanks. :)
The world needed to see Paul eat that porridge, though. Thank you for your sacrifice, James
Somewhere during the Creme Pat bit I stopped breathing for a little. Haven't laughed this hard in awhile. James is one fantastic story teller.
James, I don't know if you'll read this, but I love you so much that my mate got a mask of your face and wore it at my birthday party
One restraining order coming right up! 😉
@@susanleslie6178 wouldn't stop me 😂😂
watched the special and loved it !
Got to watch it again!
LOVE THIS!
I need the James Acaster cut of bake off
36 hours is no joke, he nailed it so much lmao
And yet it was one of the best episodes. He made it
Acaster is just brilliant!
In another universe perhaps
it makes so much sense now!
Crying with laughter while my husband tries to get to sleep. 😂🤣😂🤣😂
Had the pleasure of watching him live a few years ago, laughed so hard my face hurt! Outstanding comedian, great guy!
7:00 that's exactly what i look for in my entertainment
Hil-ar-i-ous! One of the funniest of the younger
