When james laughs I remember that this is an actual person
Thank you, that is exactly what I have been thinking all this time but could not put my finger on it! He always looks like he's... up to something.
I rarely hear him laugh out loud, he has that smiling laugh that just exhales
I was just thinking this about Romesh
OMG, I actually get what you're saying.
I'm still not convinced
The thing I love about this show is that instead of doing ambient/coffee pouring cut away scenes like Seinfeld’s comedians in cars getting coffee- this show has random nonsense like checking for shit in a diaper.
Ah, I know, that's exactly what I've been thinking! This is like a real people version of Seinfeld's show, and therefore, much more funny and relatable.
I don't know what this show is of Seinfeld's, but I imagine it to be very American.
I liked the old man biting into his egg sandwich and the yolk squirting out the other side seemed to freak him out 🤣
@@Bob3D2000 “comedians in cars getting coffee”
So Seinfeld's director has a different idea of aesthetic shots. Doesn't make this "better"
James looks like he hasn't slept since he left school
Chad Martial Artist woah come down
Lookd like Romesh sleeps with one eye open.....
Hannah Usher *weed* his high are read asf and his laughing
red
Sarcastic Brit hahahah
“Second least favourite” JESUS THAT’S SO COLD.
Savage 5 year olds in that town.
That 5 year old is Psychopath for sure, that's pretty damn calculating for a kid who's barely started calculus 😂
@@psyanide1603 What 5 year old is even barely starting calculus?? They still haven’t grasped addition
Simon is either a CEO or a serial killer now. Or both. He’s definitely both.
lmao when romish quickly stops laughing when he realises that James wasn't joking when he said he was 17 when he first went into town
James Acaster is legit the best person on this planet. Just finished listening to his audio book, loved every minute of it.
where can i get it?
What's it called?
It's called 'James Acaster's classic scrapes'
You can get it from any bookstore or on audible
Thank you!
I can't get enough of James. He has the most interesting stories.
don't think i've ever loved a comedian as much as i love james acaster, he totally saved mock the week imo!
These two are my two favorite new gen comedians. I laughed more at them chatting in a greasy spoon than I have most comedies.
Everyone in the comments is telling people to chill and stop getting wound up over this video , and yet I can’t find any triggered comments , all I can find is people commenting telling the triggered commenters to stop leaving triggered comments
I'm just sieng James simps
Isn't that always the case?
It's called "the strawman fallacy", countering an argument that hasn't actually been made to make yourself look good.
@@LordBaktor I agree that it might be the case, but it could also be that after a while, due to dislikes and all, the comments have been buried in a pile of more active comments
@@LordBaktor nope, the shitty comments just got buried, that happens on TH-cam because of how the comments section works
Love James in this! Seems like his genuine self, no front like I’m most of his appearances, find him more funny this way
I get the impression that people commented on this clip before they watched it loool
Narsty Nas thought this was me for a second
The cutaways deserve their own show
Everyone’s a little bit racist sometimes
Doesn’t mean we go around commuting hate crimes
Look around and you may find
No ones really color blind
*forgets rest*
Where is My Happiness made my day
but some beneift from it more than others
Henry Fung ...dude, I was quoting song lyrics
THANK YOU SO MUCH I WAS SCROLLING UNTIL SOMEONE SAID THIS
@Abacus lmao ok bro...
Okay. I used to like James Acaster. I have even paid to go to his shows. However, the last show I paid to go to was essentially roping his audience into therapy...and now, with this call to active racism on his part, I am now, unfortunately, not interested in him until he grows up a bit and becomes more responsible. To suggest that someone *is* a thing because of their skin colour is repulsive. In a very English way, he assumes that every 'white' person is English - and therefore has 'privilege'. His ignorance of generation-based poverty in the United Kingdom is disgusting. The only 'privilege' I can see apparent in this....is his. That being said, the fault is not entirely his. It is actually on the shoulders of the BBC that is actually advocating this new brand of 'fair' prejudice. We are not by any part moving to the position of societies that make judgements of people based on broad-sweeping assumptions; we are just shifting the spotlight insomuch as who it is okay to direct this vile behaviour towards. P.S. James; please look the Welsh, the Scots and the Cornish in the eye and tell them that the colour of their skin denoted privilege. [Edited due to a typing mistake, 'is' instead of 'as'. Sorry :< ]
I agree with this sentiment so completely. Everyone does dumb stuff sometimes. Doesn't mean you ARE dumb. Einstein probably did dumb stuff. And everyone is racist sometimes. To BE a racist, there needs to be a pattern.
This would have been an interesting cutaway scene for these two as mice in Cinderella
James is honestly so endearing
I once saw someone cheat in parking lot. The other driver yelled "Tim-ay!". I was delighted. I got it. South Park.
The reactions to the race talk in this hilarious video in the comments are so funny, why are you all so sensitive and emotional, get a grip and join us in laughing
I know right?! And all the whining self-pitying idiots in the comments are the exact people who complain about “snowflakes” and people getting offended by jokes. They want to tell racist jokes with no social consequences yet moan when two comedians have an open discussion about race.
@@F.O.O chill
You cant join in in laughing if there arent any jokes.Otherwise,sure
@@xe666 laughing at how stupid racism is and always was.
Because it isn’t all fun and games is it? It’s a dominant sociological narrative, that has real world consequences. The double standards are worthy of contempt.
Acaster is objectively more handsome here than any show I've seen him in. Is it the lighting? He seems more at ease.
The cutaway at the 3 minute mark is gold.
Yooo....Romesh's IKEA parking spot anecdote is the perfect analogy for why "reverse racism" isn't a thing.
I was born in Banbury, though I didn’t go to the school there. Bringing your own towels each day to school was necessary? What the hell lol
Of cause Romesh has to explain why he went thru a phase of not liking white ppl.
If James just said he went thru a phase of not liking Black ppl there would be an outcry
But thrres a reason lmao like this comment that you posted. People dont hate white people for the sake of it its cause some of then are racist lmao
@@Chiko-gm2on some muslims are extremists does that mean its ok to hate all muslims
NOOOOO lmao adjoining the shots of the gravy and the baby is too much hahahahah
I quote this video every time I let Romesh take a parking space from me and shout racist things at him.
Oh, the layers of irony when he says, "It sounds like Beirut." Ha!
Simon snaked him hard !🙋😂😂
I love when the other comedians make Romesh laugh.
Bless James. He’s a sweet boy.
Double standard much woke comedian hypocrites ?
"second least favourite person" from a five year old!! 😁
Who have you been hanging out with, James???
I love the scenery and the cuts! :-D
Aaaaaand the conversation is brilliant of course...
I see two zombie toes with toenails right in the centre at 3:08. 😳
😱
TheMovieMyLife u woke asf
How do i see you on facts buzzfeed and everywhere do you comment on every single video?!?!?!
TheMovieMyLife I couldn't spot that lol!
I thought there was something weird, but I just let it pass like, "... naaah... couldn't be..."
I love the way James talks and his face expression
I don’t think there’s any justification for being racist no matter what race you are or what race you hate.
But most people definitely have racist or prejudicial thoughts whether or not they’ll admit it and I honestly think it’s normal. Just don’t be crummy because of those thoughts.
Exactly, once you tell someone it's acceptable for them to be racist then things can escalate quickly and becomes the norm. It's the 21st century people shouldn't have racist views anymore
I’m a brown person living in Australia.I personally think racism is overrated
but wouldn’t it be dope if we could just have like one minute of racism every Wednesday or something, and that would be it, it would just be people angrily muttering slurs into their pillow once a while and legitimately egalitarian the rest of the time- like the purge but for racism
another classic scrape
3:42 oh 🥺
I've just realised I look like James Acaster, which would be okay but well unfortunately I am a female. Anyone into that?
Lmaoo I love how they've got a guy, who looks as if he came to England during the 'Windrush' Era, just chilling in the foreground.
Monolithic it is the BBC
Nobody is surprised that James was bullied.
I go to a mainly Asian school. They make remarks for me being white. But I’m always told it’s not racist.
bye girl Can I prove what exactly? Them being racist? All our classrooms have audio and video recording 🤷🏼♀️
bye girl Oh Hun. I sure do know. But that’s no excuse to do it back. No way would I ever insult someone for their colour or culture. The teachers at my school are also mainly Asian, at our school no Asian or black experiences that, as they are actually the majority, the whites are all smart intelligent and would never dare insult them, even as jokes. But there is no need to do it to me unprovoked just walking past them in the corridor to their mates just because ‘I have that white privileged’ that they enjoy to tell me about on the daily, my family is nowhere near rich. They walk round flashing LV, Armarni and Gucci bags... smh I’m bored of this. Just because I’m white I understand the history and what they go through daily but it’s still no excuse.
It’s not ok to be racist to anybody. Doesn’t matter if u think they have a privilege. I Love both these comedians but they are wrong not to condemn it.
0:21 Looks like Rom is sat at the other table like a pixie chatting while the other guy eats his breakfast sandwich.
.....I lived near that cafe and saw the film crew there preparing to film this in the morning back in July/August this year...the only thing that could be guaranteed genuine was the cafe and its owners. Just in case those other people you saw...actors. It is one of few places in London that have remained unchanged..so those young hip(ster) media types looking for "something real" and "authentic" whatever the hell that means, are using that location/cafe more and more .... nice owners though.. but the customers were reflecting the gentrification in the area.... especially with the sign in the window stating "sorry but we do not serve cereals So please do not ask".
askaniuk where is it? I feel like I walked past it when they had started filming
Walter Hi .... I'll just say it's in south London ;-)
Can’t wait to watch Star Trek Discovery! I’m stoked!
@@askaniuk No use being coy. We can google it, you know: 258 Norwood Rd, West Norwood, London. And they have a Facebook page.
Everyone just accepts James slagging off white people as he is being woke but respect to Romesh as he keeps trying to get his point out and he knows it doesn't make it ok to be racist towards white people just because they have a history of being racist to black people. Racism is racism and the only way to stop it is to be aware when you're being racist and question your prejudices. I can imagine a lot of black people feel they have a right to make racist comments about white people but then they're just doing the same thing that's been done to them. It perpetuates it.
Hes not being woke. The joke is that if any race deserved racism it would of course be Caucasians. Not that they actually do. It just illustrates the general ridiculousness of racism as a whole. Also, you seem pretty defensive about this for some reason...
this is the stupidest thing i have read today lmao
James has a definite "Serial killer if this comedy shite doesn't work out" vibe going on
Ah two unfunny comedians together
I miss this series
Romesh admits to disliking and entire race of people because of the colour of their skin.
wah-wah
James Acaster in this video is basically what I want on a really good date. From the face to the conversation #wet
Everyone is essentially a good person. I mean, The GRAND majority are.
Both have great points of view and their discussion compliments each others side nicely. I like this. We need more conversations like this.
I love how uncomfortable most of these comments would make James 😂 I also did not know he used to live in Banbury, that's where I live
oh no I love james !
is the guy eating the egg sandwich, Aston from the Nevermind The Buzzcocks line-ups?
i'm kinda sad that 1 in 12 ppl disliked. If you're one of these ppl, please explain why...(just curious)
I’ve been going to that cafe since I was born wow
it's a long way there then wow. i mean, since you were born? one can hope that you'll arrive soon. :P
James Acaster is hot and funny? Damn
are you not sure about what you said or why the question mark?
I love the random b-rolls of guy spilling his eggs, mother checking her kid's diapers... lol
It's so bizarre that I don't think I've ever seen James smile before. I'm just used to his stage/TV persona looking a bit miserable lol.
I got taught what racism is when I was about 8 years old and a friend of mine said something rude to the only black kid in school. I had a mixed race friend at my first school, dark skin, non-English sounding name, but I never thought of her as any different to me; she was just my friend and that was that.
Racism will never make any sense to me. Makes me wonder if other extinct hominins still existed, how badly would they be treated by us? Because we can't even treat our species with any respect.
Second least favourite... That was a straight up Keyser Soze manoeuvre from a 5 year old.
'2nd least favorite' damn that kid was wild
James is so fine
James you are so oozing white guilt. Stop it
Acaster can look quite handsome 👀
Haha i get the feeling james was one of those kids on a leash because of how he is and was only let off when he was 17 because his mum.was busy and needed something from down town
Anyone pick up on James’s Michael Rosen joke
The two best comedians around now
"you're in credit" 🤣
“Choclate boy”🤣
Can't quite tell if James is just taking the piss, but as a mixed person myself, please stop with this white guilt bullshit. We're all profiting from the horrible stuff our ancestors did. Keep it in mind, try not to do it again, and move on
What’s going on in Banbury mate, it sounds like Beirut 😂😂😂
3:08 what food is it on the plate? anyone know
I'd like 10 more hours of this conversation please. How delightful 😊
Love James more from this
Why is it more understandable to hate a group of people based on the colour of their skin? A little bit a pathetic statement. Many people from every colour and credence has been enslaved or treated poorly in history. People should be treated based on their individual personality and no one should be hated on based on their ethnicity, sexuality or otherwise.
Rant over. Saw Romesh live, and he did a hole skit based on some sort of cereal from America it was brilliant!
I mean I kinda get it. My area is very white and I had a black friend growing up who was the only one at our school. Because of this, she often felt very isolated and different from everyone else. Also she was the victim of racist attacks pretty often, presumably because there were so few poc in the community. With the amount of hate and harassment she got, I think it's really understandable why she had a mistrust and dislike of white people growing up. It was out of fear that one could attack her out of the blue. It's like how some women who have been abused by a man feel about men. After the abuse, it's easy to become scared around every man. It's obviously not logical since the vast majority of men (and white people) are decent people but it's an emotional response your brain uses to protect you from further trauma so it can't be helped. I just hope one day we'll start treating people in a way that won't give them a reason to be scared of whole groups of people.
Why is James so attractive 😍
Because he's James Acaster
I am the product of both white and black people. Not all white people are racist, I am sick to death of all these unfair judgements of people who've done nothing wrong. My best friend in high school is black and I always looked up to her as the smartest and most wonderful person I had ever met, but I am mostly white so I must be racist (newsflash many white people have mixed heritage). Racism towards white people does exist, stop saying it doesn't. Almost every race has either been the slave or been the slaver owner, yet white people are still facing the backlash of what their great-grandparents did.
they are comedians some of the best at the moment enjoy their comedy and stop trying to find controversy
white people benefit from privileged that others do not...stop sucking up to them, becuase your half white....
Tall people benefit from privileged, good looking people benefit from privileged, rich people benefit from privileged, good singers, talented athletes and fast metabolisms - i mean these all actually have more benefits in society than being white - but white is most important because it allows you to justify racism
this girl is half white so she thinks its ok to suck up to them at the expense of other races
I don't think it's about sucking up to anyone. It's about not discriminating. Hating white people because they are privileged causes nothing good but more race hate. Especially when it's a ridiculous concept.
What an incredible plot twist there.
the white saviour complex is real in this one.
Everyone in the comments simping; the way it should be!
Mate james acaster living in banbury is the best thing ever
So absolutely believable though, it just makes sense
What a soy boy
Who
@@georgepearce4779 "you can hate white people romesh no need to explain"
@@DRIFT_CORE I agree , just wanted to know who u were talking about
Who else is only here for James Acaster?
This is so typically a cringe BBC scenario. So it needs to be a multicultural cafe, we need to have a black man sitting down. So they found and old guy walking on the streets and offer him a free sandwich. But only bother to cook his egg for 10 seconds. Then have a white man and a brown man talking together. But they must direct the conversation so it's about racism & colour of skin. Then edit so it almost comes across as casting the white people as bad, that does all the bad things and is most likely the racist. They could've got these two to talk about so many other things and it would've been hilarious, but typical BBC forcing this multicultural racist nonsense.
What the crap is with this shows filler shots? Dude spurting egg yolk everywhere? Use it. Weird gross sausage? Pour some gravy on it slowly and then immediately cut to a woman checking the backside of her babies diaper.
Do middle class white people get to speak on behalf of all white people then? I wonder if an Eastern European migrant enjoys the same privilege as someone white who went to Eton. It's almost as if generalising is bad eh?
Take a sociology class please
@@StrawberryCrush2000 If you had you'd be able to explain to my why I'm wrong? If someone doesn't understand a biology concept I wouldn't, as a biologist, tell them to take a biology class.
Well they were referring to race here and probably weren't giving their talking points a massive amount of thought given the context. For example, the polish person wouldn't suffer any racism including racial slurs thrown at them in the street and racially motivated attacks (usually with anti-muslim sentiment). In this way, the Polish person would benefit from being white. That's not to say they wouldn't suffer from xenophobia. There's a large polish community where I live and they're treated horribly by xenophobes, it's really disgusting, and overall they're a very marginalised group. Had this been a longer, unedited discussion the subtleties of marginalisation might have been spoken about more but honestly this is just one comedian's very short opinion that he gave in a chat with his mate. Something like that can never do a topic like this justice and there's no way he could be expected to do so in this situation. If James was a political activist here to speak about marginalised groups then it would be reasonable to have much more of an issue with it. As it stands, it's not that deep and not at one point did he ever say he speaks for all groups of white people.
@@duck6100 Polish people def do get racist abuse in some countries, such as the UK. I'd know as I grew up with Polish mates and have seen it first hand. I just find the black versus white dynamic very very American and it ignores the fundamental issues in UK society which are class-based first and foremost. Not saying racism isn't a problem.
James Acaster is a liberal approved comedian, will never really push the boat.
Simon is a mastermind, he got revenge on his two least favourite people in the class
5 year old Simon is cooler than I will ever and have ever been.
If he doesn't live in a hollowed out volcano somewhere now, then I'm going to be very disappointed.
Imagine if that was miniminter
If he did that at 5, what is he like now?
Can't help seeing a 5 year old bearded Frankie Boyle...
James Acaster is 32 but looks 21.
Michael David wtf he’s 32???!!
Another person to add to the list of people who just don’t age
Lol he does look quite young but also early 30s ain't even old
@@angrymullet-yf4zo he's 34 now
He looks 14
i don’t think i’ve ever seen James laugh before- it’s the cutest thing on earth
alessia cara so True.
had to save you from the triple six likes mate
I thought the comments would be angry racists but it's just people thirsty for James Acaster.
that is funny lol
He seems like an idiot, though.
@@AmandaFromWisconsin I've never thought that about him tbh, he gives me more the vibe of appreciating whimsy and silliness rather than of not being smart
Romesh is a Bounty called Jonathan. Is that enough racism for you.
@@stevebradbury7757 i don't own emoj's, but here is where i'd use one with a confused look on it face, cause i didn't understand that at all lol
Romesh Rangathan is interesting to me in one way specifically. like he is this, big, brown dude, with the lazy eye, the big full-bearded jaw, and often has this kinda pissed facial expression, but then he laughs and his whole face and voice transforms to a sun rise of human emotion and the world feels like it is in a better place.
boom.
You must have many gf.
Janinho897
Love it.
😂😂😂
Yeah playing up his angry side is part of his comedy, partly because of his look and partly because he's so funny with it, but as soon as you see him with other comedians it becomes clear that he's not an angry guy at all, is very humble, generous to his friends and probably pretty optimistic about people and life.
The dichotomy of it makes him particularly endearing.
I'd like to say your a simp but I simp James so go of sis
why is James so awkwardly attractive?
Sam Tank I don’t know. Tell me. 😂
the jawline and charisma does it for me
I have so many weird crushes on comedians, James acaster, lee Mack, Bill harder, John mulaney, Ed gamble- it’s all about the charisma
@@katedavis3233 I discovered that my type is comedians recently, from richard Ayoade and James Acaster to Richard Pryor and Aubrey Plaza.
@@maceymckenzie2654 Exactly.
let’s talk about:
That EGG
That mother and child nappy situation?
my thoughts exactly!
Its all set up for this so no need!
Better than the episode where she is changing the baby on the table.
@@jasonpatterson8091 I can understand checking if a nappy is full, (lord knows I do that too) but changing it where people eat is just unsanitary. Too far, just too far.
That egg looks goooooood
I'm more concerned that in a restaurant a lady is opening a nappy like it's her wallet
Maybe it is
It’s fake...
It's staged.
@Mia Smith It's pretty obvious. If you watch the other episodes you will see other short scenes.
