James Acaster Stand-up | James Acaster's Banana Revenge Fantasy | Netflix 

It has not officially begun as long as he's not standing up

That was the joke, he said the stand-up comedy didn’t officially start until he stood up, that was why he started his watch when he stood up

doesnt count yet bud

I thought he didn't have legs past his knees at first! (This is my fitst time seeing him)

It’s even funnier cause he’s stands up ha,f way through

So John Oliver on Community?

College has really slipped...

@@michaelbrucato7180 that's Professor Ian Duncan to you

The last little bit of that sentence sounds like you tried to make an acronym

You already said College Professor.

He looks like Rodney from only fools and horses

Why dying? 🤣

@@wiionmii1111 hehe because he's so pale and gaunt

He looks like every background character in Harry Potter

Sounds like one too

I also like "Oh Pret a Manger, your generosity continues to astound us."

"Hook line and sinker!"

Burnished perfection.

Oh you must see it in its entirety - the loophole is part of a running joke. Even his kneeling down and the double barrel comment all have precedents! He is a genius

What...is genius about that sentence?

If you think this is chaotic watch his "would I lie to you" clips, he is the living embodiment of chaotic good

690 like yeay

He's James Veitch after being very slightly overcooked. It's briliiant.

He and Joe Lycett are both wonderfully chaotic. James, I think, is chaotic neutral, sometimes good, but Joe is chaotic good for sure. He has a whole TV show where people email him about some shitty thing a corporation did or some way they got scammed, he MASTERFULLY trolls them and usually gets some kind of compensation for the victim, and THEN he broadcasts the shitty thing they did and what he did back to them on national TV lol. There was one he did on UberEats because they allow restaurants that have a failing hygiene rating to be on their platform and deliver their food and don't display the hygiene rating on their website. So he creates a restaurant in a dumpster, the local govt. said it was too disgusting to even give a rating too, but UberEats let him set up on their site, and then orders food from it and they pick the food up from a literal dumpster and deliver it. So then he "starts his own food delivery company" that only delivers food from UberEats restaurants with failing hygiene ratings and only delivers to one place: the UberEats headquarters in London. So one day, the executives at UberEats HQ start getting delivery after delivery of gross ass food. He's done hotels, banks, etc...

These are both great stories with the same type of energy lol m.ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-R-jRaQK_bnw.html m.ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-RgmyVljSihk.html

Thanks for sharing your findings.

But what's with the mic and stand color?

@@drorbedrack8820 i think thats part of it. His mic is brown and cable is tweed, rather than black/black.

I think only in theese specific shows since its technically a Netflix series and he wanted to have it look connected

Why am I not surprised

That's why he goes to prêt-à-manger

Romain Savioz mama Mia is Italian don’t know if you know. I freakin studied French and I almost missed that.

@@dontburstmybubble686 yes I know but prêt à manger is english

Romain Savioz really?

@@dontburstmybubble686 yes en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pret_a_Manger

I also recommend these peaches.

He’s crap

Manolo Bustamante your crap if you think he’s crap

You’re*

His appearances in WILTY are just great!

Bruh, when i saw the meme for the first tine, swear i thought it was rupert grint😂

@@ethanhananel569 hahahaha!

@@ethanhananel569 you mean Ed Sheeran? XD

I can hear this

@@louisc8873 lmaoooo

Such tiknees

@@repzo5551 heheh

That's a deep cut hahaha

RIP Sean Lock.

Or lawful evil...

i think he’s more chaotic neutral

Nah, using someone else's rules against them? That's lawful evil.

endymion enby You can do that and be chaotic, and not evil

@@endymionredacted1304 it would be lawful evil but u cannot deny the absolute chaotic energy of running around the shop eating all of your own bananas

I didn't know I needed this until now. I second that motion.

@@lavane26 I've been commenting on several of his videos. Hopefully someone notices, or others keep doing it until someone does. I mean James has the mannerisms of a Doctor, dresses in corduroy trousers and long sleeved shirts and The Doctor always wanted to be a ginger.

may be the only way anyone could persuade me to watch it

I always think this when I watch him. He has the same type of doctor attitude and mannerism. But weird but funny. XD

You mean he isn't already?!

James as the doctor: "This is the TARDIS, it can travel anywhere in time and space" Companion: "Oh then I'd like to see the future" James: "I didn't say it can travel anywhere in time and space... FOR EVERYBODY" (Starts traveling everywhere in time and space while making disturbing noises)

he WOULD be a good doctor

Doctor James: I once burnt down a banana plantation. I regret it, really; could've cultivated a sonic banana Companion (David Mitchell): Well, why do you need a plantation when you can just grow one in the TARDIS? Doctor: The same reason I wouldn't use a banana cultivation for space-time travel. Sure, it _can do_ that, but it's against its own principle.

I don’t think the BBC want white males to play the doctor anymore, no matter how good he could be he doesn’t tick the diversity boxes 🤷🏾‍♂️

thanks, been looking for it :)

@@zommy5re77 No worries I just thought someone would use it.

Hero. I clicked on this video just for that line

no hate but it's mama not mamma.

@@changedchannelspleasedonot7059 no hate, but "mamma mia" is correct. "Mama mia" isnt really italian

You are a good man thank you

You , yes you , are the love of my life.

Huzza! A man of quality!

thx bro

Logan Hund thx

AllaMortify 🤣🤣🤣

Nah. That would be a rubbish joke.

@@13strong it is.

Goddamn he loves those peaches

I still laugh at this

Winston?

Top Acaster knowledge displayed here

I prefer apricots

Hello there

@@emmettmacklem1986 well good evening to you

hello there 😉

Timestamp?

4:17

The whole time I was wondering why is he kneeling

legomypancakes you should watch the whole special, he explains it right before this clip

_ Is it anywhere to watch? (for people not in the UK)

DeathnoteBB Netflix. I’m pretty sure it’s on Netflix everywhere

_ Ah okay. I’m used to things with British actors that I wanna watch not being on US netflix

As it should

excellent mic technique too, these things help.

whimsical cutie is so appropriate

He would have been a great Newt Scamander

he did says he holds a lot of grudges

The cabbage wars

@@CLLee1621 I'm going to start a petition to have him as the next James Bond. They definitely won't do it, but maybe they'll make him the next Q.

He’s Basil Brush. Boom Boom!!

It's the reason I'm here. I love this guy but when I saw the meme I was like my god I need to see

@@AnonymousCaveman lol that's exactly what I did

I just came here from the meme

Emilyissocool he’s amazing isn’t he ! Why is he knelt down in this ?

@@georgiacooper95 Coz its James Acaster lol

Georgia Cooper part of a bit from the full special

First saw him on would I lie to you he's hilarious

I loved that episode of WILTY

CABBADGED

Andy Pandy the original version on josh widdicombe’s radio show is a million times better, you get all the details as it slowly unfolds over the course of a few weeks

@levitating monkeys "how are you?" "furious. I've been cabbaged again!" But I second listening to him tell the cabbage story, and all his other scrapes, on the radio. Someone made a compilation of them all. I think my favourite is him spending the night in a bush. On WILTY, he's purposely making it sound like a lie so the details he gives and the order he gives them makes it seem completely ridiculous. But when you listen him tell it on the radio, he explains his thought process and you can see how he ended up in that scenario.

You did not just compare him to Rowan Atkinson...ah james would love this

You just make up shit

No.

They make the best out of ordinary experiences

@@t33cael to be relatable, and accepted ... Legit ... Experiences form a good preformance ... It forms the personality makes one unique.

For James Acaster, you just make up shit, but then at the end of the show reveal it was all a metaphor for you questioning your religious beliefs, or a divorce you just went through, or some other tough thing you are going through in real life.

Riyoohkey fuuuck i wanna hear the end of that joke

IKR

Uhm. Thanks?

@@applepye87 Where I'm from, no one knows what that is and since he's focusing on referential humor about Pret a Manger, an audience possessing prior knowledge is important. I'm just trying to help.

@@Alassandros I appreciate it, as I went in the comments to understand

@@lawnjart16 I'm glad I could be of help.😁

@daAnder71 Thanks. It's been changed.

Anush Gopalakrishnan Could you let me know?

Anush Gopalakrishnan oh, no I don’t know why he’s kneeling 😂

@@gaz7067 At the start of the show he said "the show doesn't start til i stand up since it's stand up comedy so im going to kneel" or something like that. thats also why he buzzed his watch when he stood up

the8bitrobin Hahahahahaha 😄 Not surprised he would pull off something silly like that.

the8bitrobin And thank you for the explanation!

Bear* I bear a lot of grudges

He's a stand up comedian, so the show doesn't start until he stands up

I listened to it 4 times today. haha

Can you tell me why he is on his knees?

@@mahfuzurchowdhury2765 It would be better if you watched it yourself. It's hilarious but since you asked... It's a loophole. He only has so much time to do stand up. He's technically not doing stand up if he's on his knees, therefore he can get more time on stage.

It’s worth it

He said “the show doesn’t officially start until i stand up” He basically forced the venue to allow him more showtime by putting a loophole in his contract that says his show doesn’t start until he stands up, so he MENTIONS that he’s setting his watch earlier on in the show

Wth is going on with ur profile pic
