There's a video on UA-cam documenting the entire "cabadge" saga. It's nearly an hour long, and it's brilliantly told. There's also a playlist of his other classic scrapes, which are probably a good taster of what the book is like.
Kind of odd that we call it A&E come to think about it. Why is the accident part necessary? Every visit there should be an emergency - but why is the accident part needed? The only real difference between an accident that does require A&E and an accident that doesn't require A&E is the emergency part. I'm completely overthinking this.
@@peterbabicki8252 Because if I cut my leg because I was a dumb ass, but I am not bleeding to death, I had an accident. If I was bleeding to death, it's an emergency. I am to go to the same place for both of these situations.
It's called a rubber because you use it to rub things out. By synecdoche, the word was expanded to mean the substance itself. And then other products made from the substance (first, car tyres: "a set of rubbers") and then, in North America, condoms. Something for the weekend, sir?
I've heard the podcasts with James telling everyone about it on Xfm. Every week there was an update... At one point someone set up a cabbage twitter account and sent him tweets with photos of cabbages 😂😂😂
The bizarre thing about the James Acaster bush story is that literally the exact same thing (minus the dress) happened to a friend of mine, except he ended up under a bush in Bradford when trying to get from Birmingham to Lincoln after some ill-chosen train connections. And we've ribbed him about it ever since. It was surreal watching that episode for the first time.
Absolutely classic episode. James is man who cultivates surreal weirdness in his life, and makes hay out of it in his comedy. There really were no weak competitors this episode.
A “rubber” in the U.K. is an eraser. Although we’re aware of what it means in North America, we wouldn’t use it to mean that and that wouldn’t immediately come to mind.
meanwhile pretty much the only thing that could come to mind here is that. Until they gave more context you can just see the utter bafflement on his face lol. When I moved I definitely asked my teacher for a rubber, and have heard stories from my family about the hilarity ever since.
Listen to the Off Menu podcast with James and Ed Gamble or watch his Mock the Week episodes, he does some good 'Scenes We'd Like to See'. Also has a good Netflix special.
Would definitely recommend the Charles Dance episode, some very entertaining play off him being a very prestigious actor and he interacts so well with the other panellists 😂👌 Also, don't forget the banter from Robb! Edit: bloody hell, just realised my new shirt is incredibly similar to the one James is wearing, if not the same - no, it's exactly the same!! Man of good taste.
Random Basingstoke connection! Cool! James has only been on the show three times, but they’re all great! His book Classic Scrapes, which you mentioned, has a bunch of his crazy stories (including more detailed versions of both the stories he told in this episode) and I highly recommend the audiobook version as he reads it himself. He also has another book Perfect Sound Whatever which details the worst year of his life and how he got through it by obsessively listening to music from 2016. If you haven’t checked out his podcast Off Menu, which he does with Ed Gamble, you should.
Now you have reached the new genius of British comedy. His book, Classic Scrapes is the funniest thing I've ever read, struggled to breathe at times. You still haven't watched Bob Mortimer's Owl story, tut tut...
A bench would be warmer than a bush. If you're laying on the ground it will just pull heat from you. While on a bench your body heat will warm up the bench and you will lose less heat
James has worked as a classroom assistant in a school for children with special educational needs ,and his stories about the time working there are also very interesting love James to bits
You do not need to react to it but there are a much more detailed explanation of the cabbage story on youtube you should watch. Video named "James Acaster Complete Cabadge Chronicles"
NEIL Talks oh I’ve binged it all already WILTY is a great show! 🤣🤣🤣 But if you actually google the whole story it’s insane how it went on forever and how fans responded 🤣🤣🤣
Unfortunately a large number of my WILTY reactions have been manually blocked by the copyright holder. It's why I stopped doing WILTY reactions altogether. Although I'm very tempted to try again with Bob Mortimer's series 15 appearance...

@@noomiolsson462 that's how Mick spells it in his note, and also how it's spelt in the title of the video.
Hey Neil, a rubber is both a term for an eraser as well as a slang term for a condom. Edit: A&E stands for Accident and Emergency.
rubber-> eraser.
A&E stands for "accident and emergency", so yeah, the British version of ER.
we also call Trauma expert a Rhesus macaque
Kind of odd that we call it A&E come to think about it. Why is the accident part necessary? Every visit there should be an emergency - but why is the accident part needed?

@@garethlawton5278I suppose that makes sense actually.
I feel every single syllable of “we used to make steel!” 😂😂
You can tell James adores that young fella...and the kid looks up to James like an old brother/fun uncle type.

A and E stands for Accident and Emergency … loving the videos 👍 👍
I don't know if the WILTY Christmas episodes are considered apart of a series or are a special, but James is on one of those. Keep an eye out for it.
That's a great episode. Lily Allen is on the opposite team.

Who would be your dream team for David and Lee?

Did he get the Asian pizza?
Did he like the look of the university at the open day?
Why was he going to Bradford?
James Acaster the living embodiment of Scooby Doo's Shaggy.
14:27 A&E stands for accident and emergency over here
Have you seen the BIG fat quiz of the year. A quiz show with six comedians often all from britain or have been involved in britain television.
If you haven't seen it, James' Netflix special - "Repertoire" - is a masterpiece
Absolutely classic episode. James is man who cultivates surreal weirdness in his life, and makes hay out of it in his comedy. There really were no weak competitors this episode.
I never watched this episode of WILTY but James Acaster is hilarious usually. That cabbage story was waaaay funnier than I expected.

Agh, you beat me to it, i was going to say to everybody watching in north America the DJ was'nt talking about a condom he was refering to an Eraser.
meanwhile pretty much the only thing that could come to mind here is that. Until they gave more context you can just see the utter bafflement on his face lol. When I moved I definitely asked my teacher for a rubber, and have heard stories from my family about the hilarity ever since.
In Australia we call an eraser a rubber as well.
Well, that's its original meaning. "Eraser" comes across as some sort of euphemism.
A&E stands for Accident and Emergency. I’ve been there many a time. ♥️ the NHS
Listen to the Off Menu podcast with James and Ed Gamble or watch his Mock the Week episodes, he does some good 'Scenes We'd Like to See'. Also has a good Netflix special.
Rubber= eraser…the common name for a condom in the UK varies, johnny, noddy, bag etc lol
You cut it out but James Acasters 'Sledgehammer' joke was so quick witted
Lee Mack, middle class? I did chuckle at that.
He may have plenty of money now, but he'll never be middle class, in the British sense.
It's true. Middle class has a very different connotation here in North America. Here it's much more in line with the "common" or "working" man.
Great reaction and greetings from Basingstoke. Must find out which bush and put a plaque up!
'round here we call it Amazingstoke, not without irony
Erasers in the U.K. are called rubbers .A and E is accident and emergency . 🇬🇧
Would definitely recommend the Charles Dance episode, some very entertaining play off him being a very prestigious actor and he interacts so well with the other panellists 😂👌
Also, don't forget the banter from Robb!

Accident and emergency.

>Middle-Class

Off Menu is great! Can definitely recommend it!
He describes Basingstoke pretty accurately.
Going to the post office to pick up the cabbage was the best thing!
"My pre-natal back yard" sounds like it should be a rude statement!
The other James WILTY appearances are also great. There is a Christmas one where he does two stories, both are great.
Now you have reached the new genius of British comedy. His book, Classic Scrapes is the funniest thing I've ever read, struggled to breathe at times.
You still haven't watched Bob Mortimer's Owl story, tut tut...
I think that the owl story was in an "unseen bits" compilation show. So was "Lee Mack clears things up", which I really want Neil to see.
James Acaster is a special kind of genius. Check out his four-part standup special on Netflix to see just how brilliant he is.
James Acasters book is a brilliant read.
A bench would be warmer than a bush. If you're laying on the ground it will just pull heat from you. While on a bench your body heat will warm up the bench and you will lose less heat
I was Cabbaged once. It's no laughing matter. My Mum and I went to the police to get a straining order, but they wouldn't lettuce.
James has worked as a classroom assistant in a school for children with special educational needs ,and his stories about the time working there are also very interesting love James to bits
your lagging, the video is ok, its just you
School kids spend money like idiots, i once paid £7 for a bag of maltesers
I did 5 quid on a gobstopper and 2.50 on a caprisun in the late 90s
I like your new endeavor in the stop-motion industry.
"We used to make steel" gets me every time :)
A&E = accident and emergency
A&E, accident and emergency.
Rubber is the same as Ereaser....
Accident and emergency.
Its Accident an emergency
They should try doing WILTY again with non-celebs.
Strong debut indeed!
Been there several times
You do not need to react to it but there are a much more detailed explanation of the cabbage story on youtube you should watch. Video named "James Acaster Complete Cabadge Chronicles"
Good job Kermit
Acastor is my favorite celebrity baker on The Great British Bake Off. He was hilarious.
another great video thanks! i especially enjoy university challenge and lost
On UA-cam you can also find James's complete cabbage story. It is worth a listen.
Lots of people have got in and explained about rubbers and a&e so I'll just rec season 12 xmas special; it has a very good acaster bit.
A&E stands for 'Accident and Emergency', so yes the same as ER (Emergency Room)
Google the James Acaster cabbages story 🤣🤣🤣 it’s insane
Check out my WILTY playlist - there's one called 'My Sworn Enemy'. :D
NEIL Talks oh I’ve binged it all already WILTY is a great show! 🤣🤣🤣 But if you actually google the whole story it’s insane how it went on forever and how fans responded 🤣🤣🤣
New to the channel,but I can't find your old taskmaster video where you saw James before....🤔

@@NeilTalks ah gutted to hear that mate, I shall have a dig through anyway.
Yeh anything with Bob is definitely worth looking at 🤷♂️💜
Awwww I'm loving these reactions. As a Brit it's really interesting to see people of different nationalities react to our culture.
James Acaster is so funny. He did a series of standups on Netflix too. Worth a viewing.
I would say lee is working class not middle class
Lost in translation, I think, Skye. Here in Canada, those two terms are basically synonymous.
Wait till you get the Christmas special episode. Another classic story
A and E
Rubber = Eraser in the UK by the way!
A&E stands for Accident and Emergency
In the UK rubbers are pencil erasers.
You cut way too much....
He doesnt
A&E = Accident and Emergency
He sent me a cabbage in the post!
Acaster is a cartoon moon man.
I might send him a cabbage
Fun shows.
Yes a rubber is either something you rub pencil of with, or a condom lol. Yes Accident & Emergency.
You can't work out what A&E might mean, when you have one of the likely words all ready.... 😜
Neil, try not to keep switching the video off everytime you talk / laugh, it's highly off putting mate
Unfortunately Simon, it's the only way to clear copyright. If I kept the video up continuously, I'd never be able to show a reaction.
@@NeilTalks Fair enough !!
The frame rate of your camera had me laughing more than WILTY XD
