I think I’ve finally worked out why I like this guy so much. You know that kid everyone knew in school who would hit out with the most random and stupid jokes that you couldn’t help but laugh at because his timing was always so impeccable? James is just a 34 year-old, sweater-loving version of that very kid
I have to admit, that one haunts me to this day. What were the other lines to that joke? I mean, like everyone I goddamn love these peaches, but what else would Churchill have said?
The first time I ever saw James Acaster I really wasn't sure about him. But I've tuned in now and find him hilarious. When I saw the "I'm so scared of tunnels" one on the TV, I was crying.
My favourite was on another show called Would I Lie to You... this kid SENT HIM CABBAGES and said "OI OI SAVOY", so he covered the kid's room in cabbage leaves XD
I had a similar experience and then I watched his stand-up and now he's my favourite comedian. Edit: Repertoire is the stand-up im referring to. have not seen his new stand-up unfortunately.
agreed. Yesterday I watched someones's other compilation: just the punchlines (often with now idea what it was in reference to...) So annoying. Really appreciate the effort Stranger Crack put into this. Even included the detail that Sara Pascoe and the guy were a couple, making the joke more relevant. Thank you.
I agreegives the jokes a bit of context where need which makes them better and make more sense edit: and I also like the little contextual caption as well
i was never really driven towards his comedy but the more i've watched and listened to him i've grown to realise that James Acaster is a national treasure!
I have it on good authority that the only reason Winston Churchill stepped in to whup the Nazis was because he was told they were taking all the peaches.
He always does! It’s easy to miss bc of his persona, but he’s always rescuing people from punching down situations, or defending people who’ve been unfairly or unfunnily attacked. There is an ethics behind his whole approach which I really appreciate. All done without condescension.

How did East Germany fair compared to west Germany? Was being united with the much bigger and resource rich Soviet States better for East Germany, part of a huge block, or was tiny West Germany suffering? Do you know the east Germans had it so bad they would eat soil to fill their stomach and kill the hunger pains? What about Hong Kong breaking off from China? They had the worlds highest GDP per person where as people were dying by the millions of starvation in China. United doesnt mean stronger its a shit analogy. The EU has ruined club Med, and theyre still suffering to this day. Greece and Italy wanted to hold referendums and their democratically elected leaders were removed by the EU and replaced by banking technocrats from Goldman Sachs. There are zero good arguments in favour of the EU and a host of reasons to drop. Even Merkel was fearing a "Singapore of Europe" and many in the EU vow to stop it happening. Ie theyre scared we'll continue the economic growth we were having before Covid
@@nicosmind3 I mean...look at your economy...look at the European economy. You won't have any economic growth, if anything your economy has gone to shit, and the British government even wants to break international treaties they made which (surprisingly) isn't the best move to make when trying to improve your economy. Something to do with trade...complicated stuff. Maybe Hong Kong can teach you something about it. There are zero good arguments in favor of the Brexit. It's just culturally, the British have a massive problem with believing themselves more important than they actually are on the world stage and they think, pretentiously (and ignorantly) that their failings are down to others, not themselves.
Bitchute is better than UA-cam the best argument for brexit is that super rich can further manipulate the English financial markets in their favour while the people are distracted by a false sense of ‘English exceptionalism’. Rather than ‘kowtowing’ to Belgium, they can use it like Singapore so they can be the American empires bridesmaid. Nice simplistic take on history though, no wonder you’ve favoured the vote based on slogans. Goodman Sachs & co now have a free rein to influence the markets and create another US style oligarchy to replace the Monarchy! Yay for progress!!
@@michaelmayo2489 I second this. Would just make them soggy and awful. Although I'm also a strange specimen who only buys ketchup with no added sugar. So it's pretty much tomato, spices and vinegar.

Poor john and Sarah. A comedy coupling doomed due to john not being funny in the slightest, and him not grasping this and taking the piss out of her on national tele.

I hope it doesn't haunt me
A refreshing, original and brilliant comedian. Love his facial gestures as well. Too much of James is never enough. He cracks me up.
I love how James called out Jon for doing literally every joke about his relationship with Sara.. First name terms lol
Haha I love that Sarah’s boyfriend looks jealous when they joke with each other. I think that makes James do it more
He hates it, haha
Didn't last though... they split up in late 2016. Probably Acaster's fault.
thought i was the only who saw this, he is mad jealous
probably because he doesn’t like jam
Sarah's ex is a tool and he's not funny. He doesn't mind being a tool but the fact that James is much funnier than him annoys the shit out of him.
james is the KING of callback jokes hahaha i love it so much

I bet he'll randomly propose to you on the streets some day!
You can if you use spider hands!
