James Acaster and Rhod Gilbert on Never Mind the Buzzcocks

Season 7 of Taskmaster aired in fall 2018. But Rhod Gilbert and James Acaster not getting along dates back to at least four years earlier, in this episode of Never Mind the Buzzcocks that aired in fall 2014. An episode that also featured Kerry Godliman, who beat James on Buzzcocks the same way she beat both James and Rhod on Taskmaster: by spending more time getting things right than arguing with people.

James and Rod need more shows together. Just put them in a room with a random topic and no script, they'll be at each other's brain-throats in no time.

Well it’s ASD vs ADHD so yeah... Fucking hilarious

@@seherling207 Ah ok, i don't remember that. James doesn't seem like he has ASD but who knows i suppose

[@Magitek85]

It's nice to see that James still holds onto the same contempt for Rhod that he did during their season of Taskmaster.

[@IndieRockerHippy]

Rhod is just annoying. Used to think he was funny but now he just annoys me. And he drove my crazy on TM. How is it funny to bring in a naked picture of Greg every week?! It's just not!

[@flashbevan9201]

They are really good friends in real life, thats why is funny. Berating the man in charge

The Hawaiian girl is so gorgeous

[@CaptainAMAZINGGG]

She's American,. She may have been born in hawaii but she doesn't seem at all like she spent much time there. She's super American. She's from the pussycat dolls, she's hosted many things in the states, she used to be with Lewis Hamilton, she's drab, dull, boring af and one of the most annoying humans ever. So I am distracted by all those traits, which are more pronounced than her physical beauty tbh. (She's not so bad in this clip, but because I've been aware of her for so many years, worst of all /lately - on the masked singer U.S.) and she's worn me down properly 😭😭

@@cloaking111 I’d be happy to. This show was all about music. It was originally hosted by (edit: Mark Lamarr and then) Simon Amstel whose character was very like Frankie Boyle on MTW. He was unapologetically cruel and extremely funny. He pissed off a guest almost every show and it was brilliant
