that child support isn't going to pay itself
Iconic. What’s not to love
i dont know how to tell you this... but james probably doesnt run this account

James and Stacy have the energy of the two youngest kids at a family night who are only half paying attention, but still want to feel included. lmao
Only james acaster would refer to himself in the 3rd person as iconic
Would be hilarious if james wrote this comment
Yes, but what if it WASN'T James Acaster?
How many people would it be then?
You do realise that these channels are run by social media managers that are hired by the celebrity?
They removed iconic from the title lol
What about every white girl ever?
"Let her speak"
"I take that back"

He wasn't wrong 😂
You can always hear disappointment in Richards voice..but I felt it this time.

Acaster, Ayoade, and Mitchell the holy trinity of awkwardness.

David with Dunkirk: "Is it the answer that's wrong...or the question?"
