I think Paul probably had a lot of fun experiencing someone this bad at baking come on bake off and be completely unintimidated by him, tbh. James did not come to impress with his baking, he was dragged in and decided to be the funniest person on the whole show while grumbling the whole time, which is so DIFFERENT from a regular contestant that I bet they all enjoyed it a bit extra.
Imagine not having slept in 36 hours, being on the verge of a break up with your girlfriend, totally depressed, and still being this funny. I can’t believe it. Comedy just runs through his veins.
I don't find it respectful for people who knew what's happening behind the curtain to call it "still being this funny" and "it runs through his veins". The guy was battling dark thoughts. Imagine how'd he feels. "Hey man, sorry to hear about what you went through during this event. But wow. You're still funny despite all of that! Awesome!" Commedians are prone to depressions. Well, some types of commedians. Those are basically philosophists who are trying to change people's opinions and statement about things they find intolerable through humor. The laughs and the jokes are being used to mask pain.
@@budle89 ok but his choice to funny right? if you know a comedian is going through something do you support them by not laughing? seems a bit backwards. Imagine that comedy show.
Paul’s “I think it’s brilliant, James” was humanity at its finest. I think all of us need a Paul to look at us and tell us that “it” is brilliant, at some point in our lives.
@@KassaiLev I remember reading that he had a very bad week when he filmed bake off, something about a break up. So I imagine it was a nice thing on a bad day :).
@@AleksBen36 I know this is quite a bit later, and you may have heard this already, but he was running on 36 hours without having slept, and had really bad jetlag from traveling.

@@plestrange511 Spread the word! But side note: "He has a netflix special" is like saying "Herman Melville wrote a book." He has a 4-part, 4-hour Netflix special that's maybe the most brilliantly sustained piece of standup I've ever seen. Maybe second only to the first time I saw Steven Wright live and by the 90-minute point, I desperately wanted him to stop because my entire torso was in dreadful pain because of constant laughing.
What I love about this is how it shows that oftentimes some of the funniest, sarcastic people are people who are experiencing some mental anguish. I know during some of the worst parts of my life, the high that came from making others laugh got me through the hour.
"Started making it. Had a breakdown ... Bon appetit" was me and my classmate's motto during our English Lit A-Level when writing essays. That along with "All is not well in Waffleville" (I think that one is from a different cooking/baking show) XD
knowing how miserable and sleep deprived he was, it almost seems like he was on the verge of genuine tears when hollywood gave him the compliment at the end lol
Comedians like Acaster have a gift and a curse, they can take their utter anguish and turn it around and make it funny while feeling like they're dying inside. I came here right after watching Cold Lasagna Hate Myself 1999. Acaster walks the line between tragedy and comedy like a tightrope. He's brilliant, but there is clearly a cost.
In his standup special, James talked about this and what was going on in his life around the time this was filmed, and he talked about how it went viral. I hope he understands that a big reason it went viral is because a lot of us found this relatable -- I think it's fair to say "Started baking, had a breakdown, bon appetit" has become a meme at this point. Like, I think a lot of people have had the experience of having to muddle our way through a difficult series of tasks while going through one of the worst days of our lives.
deborah DeborahR this is amazing I absolutely will check these out! I’ve watched pretty much every series of task master now so I’m looking for something new :) I loved the show “the wrong mans” from a few years ago with James Cordon and it got me into British humor (it was seriously incredible) and now Task Master got me into British Chat shows so I will 100% keep this list and start watching :) Thanks again!!!
It reminds me of a family story. My grandmother was making some kind of biscuit, and my grandfather came in from farm work and helped himself to one. "What do you think," said Gran. "Very nice," said Pa. "A bit chewy though." "Oh good," said Gran, "imagine how nice theyll be when theyre COOKED."
I'd say this is good tv because he handled everything with a lot of wit and spontaneity for someone with no experience who's descended into such a state of Delirium due to lack of rest and preparation to the point of embarrassment. Well done!!👏👏

greenquartz same! Maybe they’ll decide to share these episodes with us! I sure hope they do!!! 🤞🏻
@@greenquartz To be honest, that's how the rest of the world watches American shows. We don't know who the people on it are or what they are talking about but we laugh if they are funny.
It all makes sense after seeing his standup. He hadn't slept in 36 hours and had horrible jet lag.
This kid is legit a full mood
He’s 36 years old lmao he’s not a kid
@@jackskellington1688 if he has parents, he's a kid.
After seeing his stand-up on this episode, I can totally see how tired and jet-lagged he was 🤣🤣
"Story of my life."
I truly envy the witts to come up with such perfect come-backs instantly.
0:45 me every time I wake up in the morning
Haha the sad thing is I wish I’m dead quite a lot
Me when I wake up and have to go to work 😂
I Adore James! he exudes chaotic energy and I am here for it!
His photo for the horn had me in tears 😂
I appreciate how much Russell appreciates James.
This man was sleep deprived when he baked and i love it.
Came here from the clip of his special. Laughter is sometimes the only medicine.
3:38 I put loads of salt in it for a laugh 😂😂🤣
Started making it. Had a breakdown. Bon appetit, is literally the best quote I have ever heard to be honest. HAHAHA
I miss this program so much!!! In Italy they don't broadcast it anymore 😭❤️
its even funnier knowing that he hadn't slept for 36 hours so he was so delirious that he gave us all these amazing quotes
James Acaster always looks like how I imagine my left hemisphere if it was it's own person
James Acaster is my favorite comedian- he is so quirky, so absurde, but never crass. I love it❤️❤️
