Americans React | A Whimsical RollAcaster | JAMES ACASTER | Would I Lie To You? | REACTION 

Peter Gabriel was the lead singer with Genesis before he went on to have a solo career and had a hit called Sledgehammer. Basingstoke Station is 2 stops down the line from where I live and he remembers it far better than I do.

The Spice Girls were indeed huge here in the UK. One of the biggest ever girl bands in history, in fact! They were also a worldwide phenomenon with over 100 million record sales.

“Peter Gabriel - who’s that?” Thanks for making me feel ancient with one sentence. 🤦‍♂️

If you search James Acaster The cabbage chronicles you will find a video of the full cabbage story - from the radio show he talks about in this clip. The story evolves over time when James makes multiple appearances on the radio show to provide updates on the ongoing cabbage feud. It’s an hour long but it’s hilarious and worth a listen. James was also a contestant on Taskmaster a few years ago and there is a compilation of his “best moments” that you might enjoy reacting to. He’s just so wonderfully weird 😊

I suffer from depression and anxiety, I love watching the videos, love to laugh along with you 😁

This past Sunday I was just my to see a show filming in London and James was a guest. He honestly carried the whole thing, even between shooting he was hilarious. A genuinely top class comic that we need to protect at all costs.

"I was unaware you knew my father Noddy"....👀👏👏😂😂😂💜

James on Sunday Brunch talking about his book, especially the parachute experience, has the whole team in hysterics.

"if there was a fire, they would have to turn the hoses off...." classic british bureaucracy 😂

We have reindeer in Britain (specifically in the Cairngorm mountains, Scotland). It's a free-roaming herd of about 150; plus 'tame' animals who (during November / December), go on UK wide tours to promote the herd and do Christmas appearances etc. The owners also have a shop and you can go on guided walks to learn all about reindeer.

You mentioned cheese rolling ... I would like to see you & queen Boomer think about the burning barrel festival - in a village called Ottery St Mary every bonfire night (5th November) - look it up, there are a bunch of videos on youtube about it It was good to hear you talk about depression - it's something that lots of us will suffer with at some point in our lives, and it's good to remind people that it's nothing to be ashamed of, and it is also something you can recover from, given time & the right help and support from friends and family I went through years of depression after my marriage failed, but eventually managed to find a new life & started being able to smile & look forward to life once again - thanks to great bunch of friends that I met I'm glad you beat it, and can talk about it now - not enough men talk about these things - nice one for sharing that 👏

I was looking forward to you doing more James A! He's so hilarious and utterly unique

There's a show called Taskmaster if that is possible for you. James Acaster was hilarious on that program. One other notable contestant was the great Bob Mortimer.

Really enjoy your take on British comedy, nice to see Americans getting a kick out of it. Good one.🙃

I'm glad to hear you've got over your mental health problems and hopefully it stays that way. My wife has suffered from bipolar for many years but has been coping with it since they managed to sort out her medication a few years ago, and, although she is not as outgoing as she used to be, she is doing OK now. All the best mate.

"It was a major as far as I was concerned" 😆 Love this man. Thanks for doing more James Acaster, King Boomer! Also; I think you're right - you're getting the whole UK tuning in by this point. Awesome work

Reindeer are pretty common as a show for school kids or christmas markets. Hence most of us have seen one but they are not wild or native

If you can find it you should look at James' Acaster's garage rant from Taskmaster series 7. He was the unsung hero of that series, so many amazing moments. There may be a compilation video of all his taskmaster moments, the garage rant is just my favourite.

I would love to spend an hour in James world, I just fear I would not be able to find my way out again.

One of my favourite compilations, this and the countdown 8 out of 9 cats "Everyone loses it after Jimmy Carr's unnecessary joke" compilation are hilarious.

I can back Acaster on the pool thing. When i was 4 a horse shattered my skull. I *clearly* remember laying against the fence, seeing all the older kids screaming, and thinking "I know what I'll do 🤭🤭I'll pretend to be DEAD!😂". I slowwwwly closed my eyes... then woke up with half my head shaved 3 days later in hospital. I was impressed by my dedication to the role. Kids are *freaks*.

Our local garden centre in the Midlands has a Santa and at entrance are his reindeers. I use to attend previously without my daughter and we would arrange a greet for my daughter knowing her name and give her a gift I'd left with him. She was ecstatic, happy days.

The older looking guy to the right of David Mitchell is Noddy Holder, the lead singer of Slade. They had a huge Christmas hit back in the 70s called "Merry Xmas Everybody" which gets played constantly every Christmas. Look it up, i'm sure you will have heard it before.

I'm another one who appreciates certain reactors on RU-vid because it gets me through tough times I'm facing and have faced. I'm British, and we use humour to combat these times. I'd rather people make light of the situation than tread lightly because pussy footing around can make it worse.. An old friend of mine after hearing what I did greeted me with "How's it hanging?" and a wink to let me know he was teasing.. Makes things so much easier to deal with.. Keep up the great work you muppet

If the Bush temperature is lower than body temperature... you definitely shouldn't enter

James Acaster on the great British bake off is funny 😄

We also have the 'world championship Wellington boot throwing' tournament 😂😂

Your Highness, I feel the time is right for you to listen to some Peter Gabriel for he is your loyal subject. "Sledgehammer", "Solsbury Hill" and "Games Without Frontiers" are some of his offerings to your Royal Highness.

Peter Gabriel, is a British singer and songwriter. He’s better known for his 1980’s hit song and music video for the song Sledgehammer. Check it out on RU-vid. Great song, great video.

I´ve witnessed "Squirt" in Redmond, Washington, back in 1980, when I was visiting friends. It was Excactly like James Acaster described. A battle between 2 teams of firemen. As i remember it was an annual thing. Part of a summer festival

Seen this so many times and still laughing ! Hey KB, more reaction to James Acaster please. Check out his appearances on tv show "Mock the Week" and his netflix 4 part special "Repertoire"

For the whole 'cabbaging' saga and the context of the 'I made the mistake of talking about it on the radio' thing, do a YT search for 'James Acaster's Complete Cabadge Chronicles'. Every word of the 'Cabbage Saga'. James talking to Josh Widdicombe on his radio show. I think the female voice belongs to Zoe Lyons. Enjoy!

We have reindeer accompanying Santa at the garden centres at Christmas in the UK

Search for James Acaster the cabbage chronicals on RU-vid for the full cabbage story as it unfolded live on radio

On RU-vid, listen to *Complete James Acaster's Classic Scrapes | Josh Widdicombe XFM Podcast* and *James Acaster's Complete Cabadge Chronicles* over the week 😁 It would take too long to make a reaction video for, but just listen to enjoy in your free time (and can leave and come back to later)

I am from Basinstoke, i know the bush he means - spot on.

It was an accurate description of outside the front of Basingstoke Train Station 🤣 (which is a very nondescript place to be)

Around our area, we have a Boxing Day dip it’s a pretty common one and all you do is run into the sea on Boxing Day, usually for a charity. There used to be a big hotel (the Deganwy castle) and it had a massive open fire roaring, anyone who did the dip got to sit in front of the fire.

he's the kind of guy that probably makes people laugh as he talks normally.

The cheese run is a sacred thing. Also, I almost lost an arm doing it. It's pretty dangerous but completely worth it. Other than the arm thing, it was incredibly fun.

Listen to "James Acaster classic scrapes"!! So many great stories

The volunteer firemen do go to fires with the regulars and wear protective gear too but they only help with the set up and the kit , they're not allowed to put out the fires for insurance reasons. They don't run into burning buildings or anything dangerous, they can get training and qualifications, but small towns usually only have a few full time firemen because of financial reasons.

You really should do one for David's angry logic rants - also incredibly hilarious!

That was funny, loving the boselecta shout "Crazy Paving"

"Gentrified" always does me 👏🤷‍♂️😂😂💜

I was born in the Northamptonshire village where ‘squirt’ takes place each year. Yep it’s fun.😂

There's bog snorkeling as well as an event that is done In one part of wales too

We have rain-dear here in the uk in Yorkshire haha. Don’t know where they come from but each Christmas there’s some at the events. Unless the anklets have been glued on

Seen Reindeers in the UK at Pet Corner, Harlow and Paradise wildlife park Broxbourne.

19:25 there is annual hen racing near when I live

It's good that you react to a variety of things as people want YOUR reaction / opinion not theirs! 😄

I never thought anyone could outshine Bob Mortimer on this show but James Acaster managed it... he's absolutely insane and very funny 🤣🤣

In Bedford we used to take part in the Viking Kayak Club "Boxing Day Roll" where loads of people from the local kayak club (us included for a few years) would do a simultaneous eskimo roll. We like our random traditions over here. OK, apparently it's over 50 years old now!!! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-6YmBf3WPDkI.html

“Peter Gabriel, who’s that?” Nearly got you unfollowed man 😂 He sang for Genesis, and then had a solo career, his biggest hit being ‘Sledgehammer’. Absolute banger!

We used to have the "Squirt" game in my home village - almost exactly the same, and not in the same area as James - we were on the Welsh borders.

You should watch his 4 part stand up show called repertoire It’s on Netflix in the uk

There is the Haxey Hood which is a very large crowd ballgame on the Isle of Axholme in North Lincolnshire. You should see if you can find it on RU-vid.

I watched your video, Only Fool and Horses ... Beckam in Peckam. If you enjoyed the series only fool and horses, then you will love Open all Hours with David Jason ( Del boy). The show is very old now, but still so funny.

Yes that's James in drums at the end.

To be fair... David asks the perfect questions

Peter Gabriel was a singer who sang a song called sledge hammer.

I have been to Basingstoke train station a total of once, but I did stand outside, for an unhealthy amount of time, wondering which bush is being referred to. I did however pick my favourite bush, just in case.

KB & QB, we love your vids over here! Keep watching our gormless island for more stupid! 😎😎😂😂

I love James Acaster. Please, for the love of comedy, watch him in Taskmaster with Greg Davies! Great channel, Boomer!

@King Boomer Did you order on of those fancy ring/panel lights the internet folk use too?

There's a video of the Kettering Squirt. It's just as he described xD

I know it's a long shot.... But please please please, consider " Mike Bassett England manager " It's a comedy football film, which gives a great vibe of England in the 90`s

James comes from my home town.. the game of Squirt is true and happens about 2 miles from my house... it's actually not in Kettering but in the village Geddington. Also another bonkers game is the world conker championships which is also hosted in our county of Northamptonshire.

I've not watched on my laptop before (I normally watch on my xbox and it doesn't allow or show comments. So, Hi! Congrats on getting through to the final 16.

Must watch best of James Acaster on Taskmaster

Loved it😂🫶🏽

As a Yorkshire man and a brit . I love theses American reactions .

James has excellent and very varied musical tastes. His second book is about a tough year, which he got better from by immersing himself in music.

oooo! hark at you with ya two microphones

major upgrades LETS GO!!! Full RGB unicorn vomit background and a gamer chair.

Fan of acaster. Noticed your Piggly Wiggly shirt!! Gonna hafta sub i reckon

Love James Acaster, there’s a compilation of his appearances on taskmaster, definitely worth a watch, so funny! Also can’t wait for your inbetweeners movies

KB if you like the WILTY clips you should check out the Claudia Winkleman video, it is a masterclass of how to play this game.

There’s also “bog snorkelling”.

You have to check out task master it is so funny and James was on it as well lol

They everywhere at Christmas time

You find Reindeer in places like Alaska, Greenland, Scandinavia and some other northern areas.

Can you react to a complination of Bridgwater Carnival (along with the Squibbing involved)

James's book Classic Scrapes is the funniest thing I've ever read. I was struggling to breathe I was laughing so hard. Highly recommend.

I've been to Centering I'm not surprised this happens.

You also need to check out the tar barrels in ottery st Mary 😂

What's great about reacting to different people is, if someone doesn't like that person, then they don't have to watch that video. So what are they complaining about?

watch the kimberly wyatt bit on wilty, she says she can do the splits, rob makes a very funny comment.

Was that "snail on a gnome" to the tune of 'Band On The Run' by Wings?

I have seen reindeer in the UK in a privaye park. Gorgeous creatures

Damn, Queen Boomer would’ve loved this 🤣

Reindeer are called Caribou in North America

The Cheese Rolling competition in Coopers Hill in Gluocester will be on May 29th. Would be really fun to watch or even maybe join in!

I saw lots of reindeer when I went to Canada.

If you haven't already, I thoroughly recommend checking out Taskmaster. It's one of the funniest, most chaotic British shows on TV at the moment and features a revolving door of brilliant comedians. Plus it's hosted by Greg Davies

We have deers in London in many fields roaming about

Reindeer and caribou are the same animal. In Europe, they are called reindeer. In North America, the animals are called caribou if they are wild and reindeer if they are domesticated. They are in North America, Norway, Russia, amd even Scotland has some lol.

Surely got to do a reaction to only fools and horses series.the UK No1 sitcom.

Reindeer are not native to the UK. there are some domestic herds here and there but not large amounts. over there in N.America you don't call them Reindeer, you call them Caribou. now you'll know where they live i assume ;)

The Bush was cold and dry.......it was a dead bush!
