I think what I like about James... Never a boring answer to a boring question. The host asks about baking, everyone says "I am bad at baking" but James tells a story about flapjacks.
@@cyprel I guess maybe the point they meant to make was that even compared with other comedians, his answer are of a notably high quality? Or not. Idk, just seems like a bit dull of a point to have made, otherwise, so I felt there's possibly more to it. 🤔
“Nope. Day one I was funny.” I acknowledge your attempt to cue up the pre-arranged anecdote and I reject it! Oh, ok then... But here’s a better one that your researcher doesn’t know about. Acaster always subverting the false tv format. I love it.
2013 James Acaster: never bothers with Halloween costumes, would rather walk out of a Halloween party than wear the wolf onesie and crown that the host supplies for him 2021 James Acaster: wears a full mascot costume of an alligator wearing a hat on national television I love this man's character arc.
@@gigi3843 No, that is not what happened either. He arrived at a halloween party after being told he was to be provided a costume. A person he had never met before badgered him at the door and chose out the wolf king costume saying "That's what losers wear", after which James turned away and fed an animal with a lady in the nearby area.
@@bigduginc yeah but if you watched the special,, he talked about how it was such a dark time for him and i don’t want to delve too much into it but it’s kinda a satire question to ask if you get me?
Are you being sarcastic ? I mean of course he did his research.... This is what Chat show hosts do. They ask a very particular lazy question that functions as a segue to the comedians routine and it's all been discussed beforehand to make sure the show is okay with the bit. James actual gives us a inside to that process at 3:40
OMG!!!! I can't believe they threw it away! I've listened to your book a handful of times so even I feel an attachment to your party Gator now. 😂🤣 My sincerest condolences!!! 😭
James looks so, either sweaty and exhauseted from being in that gator for [?] hours, or exhausted in general from life stuff or bad night sleep. Hope he feels better soon :)
My parents are trying to get rid of my Party Gator right now!!!!! I AM UPSET! I snuck him back into their basement a year ago after having saved him from their garage sale, but I've been discovered. I have no room for him in my apartment, but I won him at a fair as a kid, and he deserves better than the dump. If I donate him, he'll get thrown away for sure. How do I save him??? T_T
But do consider that Furbys have forward facing eyes, which is an evolutionary adaptation exclusive to predatory animals. You were never safe with that Furby in the house.
@@Loctorak I don't think that's true. His observations and insights are what make him great. He has a lot of really funny stories that are not laced with any pain or sadness
Great research by Jonathan there to talk about the stand up show he clearly hadn’t seen to asking about bake off which is the majority of the stand up show...
Which of the costume fingers has two fingers there’s 4 prongs and five on a hand which one has more than one which is a more comfortable hand position what is the which one how
“Funny as hell” doesn’t make a lot of sense.. only really makes sense in like a ironic way “wasn’t that fun?” “Sure yeah, funny as hell”. (Maybe it’s like a Las Vegas kinda fun, where it’s all rowdy and crazy)
The fact that a stand-up comedian doesn't pander to your sensibilities doesn't make him unfunny. I hardly believe you're an authority on comedy, so maybe don't state your opinion as a fact?
He looks more mature here. I don't know if it's the stubble or the party gator costume.
Anyone would find the death of an old friend by a mob of teachers sobering
It's weird...here's James in a party gator costume relating life experiences the same way my father did after his 2nd scotch lol.
I think what I like about James... Never a boring answer to a boring question. The host asks about baking, everyone says "I am bad at baking" but James tells a story about flapjacks.
Everyone else isn't a comedian. It's not Tom Jones' job to give an entertaining response to a basic question like that

Or not. Idk, just seems like a bit dull of a point to have made, otherwise, so I felt there's possibly more to it. 🤔
The host usually asks questions so that the comedian can use some prepared material
My favorite part of this is how he's sitting. Like being in that mascot uniform is a 3 times a week kind of thing.
How do we know it isn't?
i was drinking my water when he said "despite the outfit wtf?" and just about coated my monitors with it.
Every time I read an acaster title I just think “god, what’s he done now?”
And then click 🥰💯

Acaster always subverting the false tv format. I love it.
🤔 I feel like James' evolution into the Party Gator is the ONLY answer in life.
It makes sense to me, I’m here for his transformation ❤️
It was inevitable
Johnathan:
Did you like Bake Off?

excuse me that is NOT what happened. he wore the wolf king costume and then someone was mean to him and he left as a power move. get ur facts str8

The way he looks at the crowd when they laugh at him wearin the Gator. Legend.
“Did you like being on bake-off?”
I was one of the worst experiences of his life mister!
it’s so obvious that Jonathan didn’t do his research by asking james “oh did you like being on bake-off?”
uhhhhh who’s gonna tell em??
It's almost like Jonathan was acting the straight man so James could tell his Bake-Off story.
James should have just said buy the vimeo to find out.
to all the people who don't know interviews purposefully do leading questions so the interviewees can be prepared and more relaxed

Just finished reading both his books... love this insane man
OMG!!!! I can't believe they threw it away! I've listened to your book a handful of times so even I feel an attachment to your party Gator now. 😂🤣 My sincerest condolences!!! 😭
pretty much whenever James opened his mouth I ended up laughing
Only James could make wearing that costume part of the background.
Joe Wilkinson could do it easy
the true party gator was the man he became along the way
his transitions are so smooth
Got an ad for Gatorade while watching this.
GATORade.
One of my favourite bits
Despite the outfit? Wtf?
Best line ever
oh noooo the original party gator met the same fate as the giant W's 😂
More James. We need more James, James.
I lost it on 2:10 💀💀
2:09 I love James every time he calls Jonathon out for being nasty
...and Ross is a mitch!!!!!!
"did you like being on bake off?"
Bruh 😬
5:06 What a climax!!!
Maybe he could use that as his outfit for The Masked Singer or The Masked Dancer.
An artsy absolute vodka ad played at the point where Jonathan introduced bake off
*"WHAT A CROCK OF* *_NONSENSE."_* - Bake-Off James.
I'm kind of hopeful that the next time James comes and tours here in the USA that he walks out on stage wearing the Party Gator attire.
Hilarious as always
The bake off thing is his first international meme as far as I can tell
I love how James talks about Hollywood, especially during bake-iff
hollywood ?
Great video! Thank you.
This is his final form 🐊
Now the Party Gator is making music
Did you enjoy bake off?
"Started a meme"
James looks so, either sweaty and exhauseted from being in that gator for [?] hours, or exhausted in general from life stuff or bad night sleep. Hope he feels better soon :)
James Acaster is one of the funniest people on the planet!
About as funny as Jimmy Savile at a mother and toddler group.
James Acaster the Master Baker is now the Master Gator.
Combine them he is the master bator
how have i not seen this sooner
I clicked faster than I could say:
K and an E and a T and a T E and an r and an I N G. T and an O and a W N
Ketrin town FC
I'd be concerned if it took you longer than that...
You mean "ketring town FC" right?
KETRIN town? Did you just spell one word and say another?
@@luuketaylor It was his attempt at spelling it phonetically

What a cheek I know the feeling though my mum threw me ferbie in the street because it wouldn't shut up and Im still traumatised

You were never safe with that Furby in the house.
Furbies are the devil incarnate
Well, we all had a breakdown of some kind during lockdown.
Well... James' breakdown was in 2016.
@@limeyUK99 2020 taught me that a person can have more than one breakdown.
@@Myzelfa Of course, but my point was if you think this is a breakdown, you didn’t see him in 2016 ;)
James embodies Britain lol
Love the party gator.
James is a goddam genius
Oh fecking marry me already James 🙃
Hi it's James,
Ok.
James.
Any time I see a bush by a train station I think of James. I'm not sure if that reflects worse on me or him but there we go.
2:10 Despite the outfit
Everything he says is hilarious!
"Global Pandemic?..." 😂
I have this gator. Got curious about it and came across this video.
Pure Genius
Ah, bless him. He’s a sweet boy.
10x more entertaining than any other guest
God knowing that the most extreme audience reaction was rybo makes this so much better
I love Paloma's laugh!
Asking about Bake Off after talking about Cold Lasagna is fucked.
Where does his last finger go
very epic
Just casually sittin next to fucking Tom Jones like it’s nothing.
The best of his generation
Might be the most laughs Mr Tom had in his life
James please get party gator to party gate
That's such a sad story
All of his stories are. That's what makes a great comedian instead of just a good one - a life of pain.
@@Loctorak I don't think that's true. His observations and insights are what make him great. He has a lot of really funny stories that are not laced with any pain or sadness
The Party Gator should be a good entertainer.
Great research by Jonathan there to talk about the stand up show he clearly hadn’t seen to asking about bake off which is the majority of the stand up show...
Clearly ross hasnt watched the special becaus ein it he explains in detail why bakeoff was the worst day of his life
go off king
James is better than most give him credit for. Really wish he got a bigger platform

Aaaqqqqqggg jyeaahhhh hammees eacasterrrr my mannn
james!
Is it just me or can Ed Gamble be heard laughing in a lot of the audiences that James is performing to?
♥
My thoughts on this video
...it may one day be used in (as) evidence!!!
Rollers
I'm 1000% sure Ross hasn't seen the show bc eh there's a bit about transphobes and eeeh don't think Ross would agree.
Same videos recommended by youtube
Alternate Title: James Acaster is hilarious while a bunch of unfunny knobs look on.
Why did you take this video in such a negative way?
He looks.like he was really.in his feels about his gator.
Which of the costume fingers has two fingers there’s 4 prongs and five on a hand which one has more than one which is a more comfortable hand position what is the which one how
That guy still doesn’t know
Character development
Is James’s nose bleeding?
Hi
I can't tell when james is doing a bit or not
That might be the point.
That's why he's brilliant
See ya later Wally Gator
K & an E & a T & a T....
Oh...someone got there first (sad face)
“Funny as hell” doesn’t make a lot of sense.. only really makes sense in like a ironic way “wasn’t that fun?” “Sure yeah, funny as hell”. (Maybe it’s like a Las Vegas kinda fun, where it’s all rowdy and crazy)

he is robbing money as an entertainer shocking not funny
You can take solace in the fact that he’ll always have more money, friends, and fans than you
