4:59 "... and Jake was a wild boy... they really expected it from him." Jake's face had been stone till then. The slight smirk really made the segment if you notice it.
At this point I just believe every word out of James' mouth. Like if he said "I once skydived off a plane on the back of an alpaca wearing nothing but a little black dress" I'd be like, yep absolutely plausible, classic James haha. He could take over the world honestly and I would just nod and smile.
I’ve definitely seen this clip before but not for a long time and I quite often watch a random bit of the ‘This is my…’ playlist and I don’t remember ever seeing it in there.
@@erinmaree1987 Those specials are okay but it's not enough and leaves us wanting more from them imo. I hope if they get her it'll be for the full season.
@@shmiqqy I can't speak for the audience but I found it contentious because the idea that Hitler was elected is a complete myth. He was appointed by the German elite, and then legitimised his rule with a fake vote held at gunpoint
I understand what Fred Sirieix meant when he said that James and the mystery guest look alike. They appear to be around the same age which is what makes James' story even more plausible.
You'd also enjoy the episode when Mark Bonnar was on (I think there was Stephen Mangan too). He's also one of those people who couldn't stopped laughing.
@@chrisfearn4837 Not when replying to the comment talking specifically about one woman. It's obvious who they're talking about. "That woman is gorgeous too" would have been acceptable.
I knew it was James when I noticed that the guy Jake smiled at one point even before James was about to say something funny about him, implying that he knew what James was going to say.
Were David's team not helped by the fact that every time James is on, the 'This is My' guest is connected to him? James' next appearance: This is Torquil, he's a volunteer firefighter who squirted a cabbage that this bratty kid I know sent to me in the post, because I told his girlfriend he wanted to break up with her.
Jake and James do look like your classic pupil of Bashing the Bishop Stortford school. (It's a Kettering thing) K and a E and a double T E and a R and a ING T and a O and a WN. KETTERING TOWN FC!!
I just realized after watching this for the umpteenth time that Jake reminds me of Robert Webb. Imagine him with blonde hair during the reveal, the way he talks and smiles and his body language.
It wasn't published at the same time the clip was uploaded. Probably restriction from the copyright owner of the show. It'll catch up with other view numbers of WILTY? Nope! Videos.
@@matthewrandell5055 I think it got revealed in one of the tasks on Taskmaster. But he said that to Neil, in their podcast, about his old habit in collecting numbers of people he just met (even those who only asked for autograph/selfie).
When was the last time a team captain was the truth teller for the "This is my..." section. They must have long since run out of true stories so these days it's a 50-50 toss up betwen the two guests.
Interesting fact that I don't know if you've noticed.... James Acaster has never told a lie on on the show despite several appearances. Not one that's been broadcast anyway. Even in the round with the mystery person and 3 different stories, it has always been James's that is true.
I'm French but I don't know who is the French guest in Mitchell's team. Can someone tell me please? If only we had this kind of show on French television...
You have to give credit to the guests who can keep a straight during the stories. For me, the way Jake was breaking at 5:02 and beyond convinced me James was telling the truth. Those seemed like laughs of embarrassment/recognition, not of incredulity. I don't really blame the guy though, James was really making it difficult for him. Maybe not the best strategy on his part, but it made for good content!
I don’t know if I want to finish this video. I want to live forever in the world with james’ ex band mate who jumped in ball pits and smashed up a keyboard in the wood
I suspected it was James' mate. Those details about the keyboard and jumping into the long jump pit naked are too reminiscent of my teen years to not have been true. Not that I ever did either of those things.
You've got to wonder what goes on in the mind behind the stonewall face of the guests listening to the two fake stories. I bet at least one guest has wished one of the fake ones was the true one at some point!
Yeah it's my only minor gripe about this show and a lot of British shows. There's a lot of cheap laughs that everyone just goes with. But tbh, it's not easy with coming up with gags on the spot so everyone kinda let's it slide. Lee makes a joke about French people being waiters in the same episode too. It's meh. But I guess it plays well with people who watch from abroad and haven't heard these a million times. Like seeing Oti's reaction to it
James was in his mid 30s I think during the recording. Most people with the gene started balding even before they hit 20. By the time they hit that age, they'd usually rocking a shaved head look.
He should just go full bald James just looks so youth like when he is almost 40, so makes sense that his friend looks 40 as well specially rocking that hairstyle
“I’m just contemplating the rise of fascism.” Underrated.
Indeed, the rise of fascism is VERY underrated!

4:59 "... and Jake was a wild boy... they really expected it from him." Jake's face had been stone till then. The slight smirk really made the segment if you notice it.
I thought the exact same thing!
James’ look at 5:05 was perfect too 😂😂❤️❤️
He smirked prior to that

Oh, did you miss that episode? :D
I was secretly hoping it wouldn't be James, just so that all those wildboy stories would be incredible improvisations.
I once jumped onto Bob Mortimer.
I’m pretty sure in all the WILTY content involving James Acaster that I’ve seen he’s not once had to lie and the mystery guest has always known him.
Yeah that’s what I was thinking
James seems like he probably has an unlimited supply of interesting and quirky acquaintances.
The Cabbage kid, The Fireman and The Friend.
i've heard james mention jake countless times in his scrapes. nice to put a face to the name!
Would be nice if it had been a different face tho

How have i just unlocked rhese secret james acaster clips?? I have watched every other clip on this channel at least 10 times
The channel probably had them on private and then released them publicly.
@@tombstonerforever9374 good point thats probably it

Samee!!
I was so convinced he was a German weatherman. If I could picture a German weatherman, Jake is what I'd picture
i'm german and i have to say he absolutely looks like a german weatherman
I'm not familiar with German celebrities.
For me, he looks more like a bodysnatcher.
poor dude 😅
@Loudsoft A bit of a combination between a teenage Moritz Bleibtreu and someone else.
David's contemplation of the Rise of Fascism.
What a great book title
I want to see Oti on Taskmaster so badly. She's got such a bubbly attitude & positive energy. I feel she'd be great.
I reckon her schedule would be too full but fingers crossed they get her for at least one of the specials
@@erinmaree1987 Those specials are okay but it's not enough and leaves us wanting more from them imo. I hope if they get her it'll be for the full season.
Four professional comedians and Oti Mabuse having the time of her life. Sounds like a brilliant series, to be honest.
Every time James is on the “This Is My” has ALWAYS been his, hasn’t it?
Not only that i dont think hes ever had a lie on the show!
@@Octoe3 no need to lie when you have crazy stories like that
I mean it was always going to be James, but Oti's and especially Lee's stories were brilliant
Lee killed me with his "voting for the wrong person" joke. But then David finished me with that "rise of fascism" joke.
that whole "why is this contentious???" bit was funny as well he's got a point
@@ennesshay5040 I don't understand the facdisn

This comment made me uncomfortable
@@shmiqqy I can't speak for the audience but I found it contentious because the idea that Hitler was elected is a complete myth. He was appointed by the German elite, and then legitimised his rule with a fake vote held at gunpoint
There's something incredibly funny about the way Oti says 'Wetterman' while the camera cuts to this guy who looks like one of the undead
🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
also, the way she says both Weatherman and Wettermann, reminds me of Tia Dalma
You're trying too hard
Gosh I am totally in love with Oti
Clips like this make me so happy that I am alive at the same time as Lee Mack
She laughed so much she cried.....Lee Mack one of my favourite panelist.
I understand what Fred Sirieix meant when he said that James and the mystery guest look alike. They appear to be around the same age which is what makes James' story even more plausible.
Lee is unbelievably quick witted.
How are we just seeing these videos?? Also, please come back to us with new WILTY content!
im at the point now where i just believe everything james says
It's called the Mortimer Principle. Agree with you completely.
The bodysnatcher line absolutely ended Oti 😂
I kept replaying the bit where Oti couldn't stop laughing at Lee's story. Loved the whole 30 seconds of it.
Edit: at 6:50
You'd also enjoy the episode when Mark Bonnar was on (I think there was Stephen Mangan too). He's also one of those people who couldn't stopped laughing.
Me too man... That black woman is gorgeous too.

lol Oti is full on enjoying , she just WENT ...
Lee is eextremely fast lmao!!
Oti Mabuse 😍 she is a goddess!
I'm glad he picked him up on the nine/nein joke lol
I knew he was James' friend when I saw his expression while James said he couldn't really play keyboard, so they turned him all the way down.
Lee was ON FIRE during this segment
Jake did a great job trying to hold it in .
I love Oti. She's beautiful inside and out, she's a great sport, she's good fun and she's got a fantastic personality.
The whole time i thought he looked German but then he spoke with the same voice as james 😂
To be fair the guest kept a strsight face which made him guestvof the show. The body snatcher remark was pure genious.
I feel like I found a hidden video on this channel
I always feel for the non-comedians who come on this show 😂 especially when Bob or James are on. They can't stop laughing 🤣
I keep remembering lee's hitler joke but couldn't find it anywhere. Finally the mysterious clip has resurfaced.
Bbb
With James it's always true!! 😂
Oti breaking down during Lee's story made me LOL
James’ wild stories are always true!
Oti deserves an Oscar for this!
Oscars are given for acting. Oti wasn't acting. Do you actually know what an Oscar is?

There is something amazing about James calling Jake wild and then the cut to Jake's slightly awkward stance

as a german I loved all the jokes about us 😂
Crazy idea, but I wonder if Jake is Mick's dad...and James knows Mick dad because he's his son.
I heard Mick was Mike Wozniak's son but that could be complete bullshit
He's actually David Trent's son

3-4ft is about 1m “in French”.
I love how Oti's whole tone & volume changes when she says "VETTERMAN!!" 😝
I can't be the only one that reckons James and Jake were getting high in that field.
No I think what Lee was insinuating was that J and J decided they were gay etc etc, hence the breakup and being together in a field
They were smoking something alright
Drinking more like it; it is Britain.

Just watching Oti Mabuse lose it was delightful and hilarious on its own.
5:16 Feels weird watching that part again knowing it's all true 😂
I think that's the most stone-faced I've ever seen the mystery guest. Usually they at least get embarrassed and giggly when they're made fun of.
Well if he’s James’ good friend hes probably used to it 😂
He couldn’t quite hold it together either
might be my favorite one eveer!!!
Oti looks like a beautiful dark squirtle , man I’d take good care of that Pokémon ..

Oti has only made herself more attractive to me from this episode, and she started very in very high estimations anyway
I always wonder if Jake is Mick the cabbage pranksters dad
no thats david trent, another comedian
The detail about the keyboard being turned down because he couldn’t play it was exactly how Johnny Greenwood got started in Radiohead
Clearly no one else on these panels has listened to Josh Widdicombe XM.

@@backelie I love how common this seems to be?
I hope all of the "wild" stuff about Jake is also true then!

Why was Fred whatshisname asking for the height of the wall “in french”??
He was asking for the measurement in the metric system, (metres, centimetres, etc).

Can Lee and Rob just shut up for once when a guest is talking. 1 or 2 jokes ok. But come on, Oti couldn't even answer.
He looks like he was from Kettering.
