There's several gags he has in this special that are this peak design of doing something that doesn't seem all that funny or is kind of cringe, only for him to retroactively make it hilarious with how he caps the bit off. It's brilliant.
Yes it's a really interesting take on audience expectations, the tacit 'rules' about what he can and can't say before his jokes start to seem off. If anyone could pull it off it had to be James I can't imagine what it's like to become famous for a few appearances on panel shows and one bakeoff meme; he really had to work on his standup persona to stay true to himself I bet
@@fairy5668 you're right but he does address those things in Cold Lasagne, there's a difference between being a rising star/winning awards and becoming known internationally for a meme/panel show clips - some people who don't really know you come to your show expecting a specific type of comedy that definitely isn't what you usually do, and then they get angry when you don't give them what they feel entitled to
i cant stop watching all these different videos from this night.....I've seen this like 10 times along with rando British Bake off Scenes, soooo good. Best baking guest by far...James, Keep telling the tale of the tea and get rid of those wholesome Chrizzos
Tea in a clear mug does feel wrong and I'm not even british. I have 1 or 2 clear mugs and I only ever drink water or herbs out of them, no tea, that feels wrong.
Wait... we can drink herbs? Which ones, and why, and the clear mug makes that work better? Is this like drinking essential oils? I won't make that mistake again.
@@robandtina Nah, I mean herbs like peppermint, sage, chamomile etc. I don't call that tea, cuz there's no actual tea in them. They're good for stuff like stomach ache, indigestion, sleep and stuff. And it just doesn't feel wrong drinking them out of a clear mug like it does with tea.

Gawky English attention to detail, filtered through green pastures of absurdity and generational disappointment. He is such a typical Brit. And yet stands alone. Maverick.
The scummy top of the tea is a thoroughly Southern problem. I miss having Buxton mineral straight from the tap, and all because there's no jobs North of Kettering 😪
This is the first time I realized he says he was 16 in this story. You need to leave your kids alone by he age of 12 to learn from these mistakes. 16 is way too old. I've been rationing my Halloween Reese's peanut butter cups to myself since I was 11, cuz I learned the hard way what happens when I don't ration them when I was 10. ... You run out too soon and then you're sad.

I hated this bit so much when i watched it (as im sure many people did) but man's tryna get rid of the Bappos and i cant hate him for it. Also I always say "top of the tea" to myself now
I gotta give it to James his comedy is..unique..but I find him to be funnier off the stage like when he’s on game/panel show’s 🤷🏻♂️ I remember a while back him being on James(🤮)Cordon’s late night show n the audience(American) just not gettin it..it was a bit cringe but he powered through it.
Definitely cringe at the end…but everything else I’ve ever seen from him is brilliant, and hey it had a punchline and recovery. Idk what he has against baptists tho 🤔
That's part of his opening where he says he swears now because he wants to drive way "Chrissos" aka Christians from his gigs. It's part brick joke, part political jab.
I'm really scratching my head over this... I'm glad you liked the clip but if you're not a fan of the "woke dung heap" I'm not sure what you're going to think about the rest of the set
@@pauldecoster I've seen the whole set 😊👍 He's a hugely intelligent and talented comedian. Not somebody from a minority group who has been shoved onto the stage to tick a diversity quota box despite a relative lack of comedic skill.
Thing about us Chrizos is that some of us basically pride ourselves on being unoffendable 😂. You can make fun of us all you like and we'll probably just agree saying "yep we're all sinful hypocrites who need Jesus". Make fun of God and I'll simply stop watching, but make fun of Christians and I'm laughing with you
Genuine question: if God is all powerful why is it bad to make fun of him? Surely he can take it. If God is all knowing and all seeing then surely he knows that the world is ridiculous and that by extension he is ridiculous for making it. And if God is all good then shouldn't he be able to laugh at himself and allow others to laugh at him too? (I'm not trying to undermine your faith, I just want to understand it)

16 years old, hes home alone and he drinks hot chocolate? What a good kid!
Loves his family too.
I guess that's the most exciting thing that's ever happened to him. He has to scream the story so they don't fall asleep.
Then again, he also spent a night in a bush, wearing a dress, scared of some hoodlums.
Yes, 10 heaped teaspoons though? Maniacal.
Lmfao...
I love the physicality that he adds into his bits. Like, it would be funny without it, but with it it’s HILARIOUS.
So glad they made this top of the tea joke a clip. Was a highlight of the show for me in the audience!
I hate it so much but god do I quote it constantly

Leave it to James to make drinking tea weird.
The only way to use Milo too XD Oh my goodness, I nearly died at the tea's true desires XD
Hello fellow Aussie :)
It’s because of this I call baptists “bappos” now
You are by far the most genius comic ive ever heard.
I feel somehow validated by an extended riff on the word "heaped"
maybe it's because I was raised Baptist
Never will get old. Thanks James ❤

pretty sure that's Ed Gamble laughing at 4:11
Had to listen a few times to come to the conclusion that it might well be Ed Gamble
Just think about how this is as boring as Acaster gets, his day to day is more entertaining than most comedians life work.
"There you are, you filthy top of the tea..." OM??G
I swear James Acaster gets me.
I’m a Christian man I’m still watching; sorry James, gotta try harder 😂😂❤️
Get out of here, Chrizzo
But are you a Baptist?
HEAPING TEASPOONS!! HA. HA. HA. HA. This is the funniest human alive.
The clear mug thing is true! 😂
I enjoyed this too much! 😋🤤🤭
Bloody bappos! hahahaa
I read this as very drunk British problems.
"So long crisoes"??? Can someone explain what he said here? I was in tears at the top-of-the-tea bit but I don't get that part. : (
In an earlier part of the show, he says he'll do whatever it takes to get Christian /Chrizzos to leave his show.
@@bwkelley thanks for that answer! I ended up watching the full show. : )
