James Acaster MOCK THE WEEK COMPILATION (series 15)

[@TRASHoftheTITANS]

I think I’ve finally worked out why I like this guy so much. You know that kid everyone knew in school who would hit out with the most random and stupid jokes that you couldn’t help but laugh at because his timing was always so impeccable? James is just a 34 year-old, sweater-loving version of that very kid

[@theamariefg]

Bro he is 34!!? He looks so young wtf!?!?

[@katyar20]

Yes!!!!

The first time I ever saw James Acaster I really wasn't sure about him. But I've tuned in now and find him hilarious. When I saw the "I'm so scared of tunnels" one on the TV, I was crying.

[@Atsory]

I think when he first came on he tries the whole emotionless comedian thing but that didn't really work for him

[@emisthem6562]

My favourite was on another show called Would I Lie to You... this kid SENT HIM CABBAGES and said "OI OI SAVOY", so he covered the kid's room in cabbage leaves XD

[@simonhughes7034]

His band story on 8 out of 10 cats is the best

[@nicosmind3]

How did East Germany fair compared to west Germany? Was being united with the much bigger and resource rich Soviet States better for East Germany, part of a huge block, or was tiny West Germany suffering? Do you know the east Germans had it so bad they would eat soil to fill their stomach and kill the hunger pains? What about Hong Kong breaking off from China? They had the worlds highest GDP per person where as people were dying by the millions of starvation in China. United doesnt mean stronger its a shit analogy. The EU has ruined club Med, and theyre still suffering to this day. Greece and Italy wanted to hold referendums and their democratically elected leaders were removed by the EU and replaced by banking technocrats from Goldman Sachs. There are zero good arguments in favour of the EU and a host of reasons to drop. Even Merkel was fearing a "Singapore of Europe" and many in the EU vow to stop it happening. Ie theyre scared we'll continue the economic growth we were having before Covid

[@pagatryx5451]

@@nicosmind3 I mean...look at your economy...look at the European economy. You won't have any economic growth, if anything your economy has gone to shit, and the British government even wants to break international treaties they made which (surprisingly) isn't the best move to make when trying to improve your economy. Something to do with trade...complicated stuff. Maybe Hong Kong can teach you something about it. There are zero good arguments in favor of the Brexit. It's just culturally, the British have a massive problem with believing themselves more important than they actually are on the world stage and they think, pretentiously (and ignorantly) that their failings are down to others, not themselves.

[@mr.dalerobinson]

Bitchute is better than KZbin the best argument for brexit is that super rich can further manipulate the English financial markets in their favour while the people are distracted by a false sense of ‘English exceptionalism’. Rather than ‘kowtowing’ to Belgium, they can use it like Singapore so they can be the American empires bridesmaid. Nice simplistic take on history though, no wonder you’ve favoured the vote based on slogans. Goodman Sachs & co now have a free rein to influence the markets and create another US style oligarchy to replace the Monarchy! Yay for progress!!
