James Acaster MOCK THE WEEK COMPILATION (series 17)

[@curuvari2247]

Let's take a minute to appreciate how Ed Gamble keeps breaking into heavy laughter and smiling the widest smiles. Hell, that must be reassuring.

[@swimawaylittlefish1542]

omggg yesss i thought i was the only one

[@emilyjfreer2895]

curuvari well they’re good friends, they’ve got a podcast together.

[@tyranosaurusbex2950]

Their friendship is honestly amazing, they're so supportive of each other

[@alishav2037]

They're the best of friends, I believe James is one of Ed's groomsmen, but Ed is definitely James' biggest fan too.

[@totalweirdo8538]

He will forever be no older than 28 in my eyes.

James is absolutely brilliant and hilarious. One of the best comedians I've seen. Can't get enough of him.

James quick wit is so advanced he makes the other comedians look amateur

James Acaster needs to team up with Richard Ayoade and Noel Fielding.

[@faboolean7039]

I'm pretty sure James made a pilot episode for a show that never got aired based on his jury duty routine. I've been recently watching Garth marengis dark place and the mighty boosh and they made me realise how much I love richard and Noel.

James’ “Robo Bongo Cuckoo Clock” is one of the best moments ever!

Robo Bongo Cuckoo Cop, not clock.

To be honest, the participants laughed more than I did

[@eq4005]

James “ the pummeler” Acaster

[@carveylover]

My favorite thing is when James breaks his James persona and he laughs at his own stupid/silly jokes. It is so fun. Vicky, she's a Victoria Sponge is so stupid and he loves it so much. Those are my favorite moments. Greg Davies is also great when he laugh at the impending stupidity/silliness of a joke or a story.

[@Oscarhewittfilm]

Love seeing James and Ed on the same show after listening to their Off Menu podcast

[@jackdog06]

Wow, pretty rude of him to not let anyone else say anything in this video.

viorel beches I refuse to believe you're stupid enough to think the op is serious. Therefore am assuming you're being ironic and in pretending that you're getting whooshed are in fact whooshing us. I'm on to you.

[@anguishingquark]

George Ferrett Listen, fucko. No need to get all defensive just because you’ve been proven wrong, idiot. James is pretty funny (he should be, he’s a comedian) but he’s also a prick. 15:27 for example. How can anyone stand him? He’s insufferable.

[@marcury4137]

Duncan Darnell there’s a thing called acting, mate

[@nickmilligan3662]

God I have had a pretty crappy day and this has just made me feel so much better, James is a national treasure

[@timdavis9566]

Love hearing James cuss,he's funny without it,but when he goes rogue, it shows his range.😀😃😄😂🌈

[@ceciliahewitt1953]

James and Ed are the most chaotic yet soft duo

[@Neil0014]

Can honestly say he's good. I'm very fussy when it comes to comedians but he would definitely be in my top 10.

[@magmafang7187]

The red riding joke get me all the time

James Acaster always sounds like his nose is stuffed

[@FinneousPJ1]

Cocaine or speed my man

[@leaffinite2001]

​@FinneousPJ1 some ppl are just like that though i think the way he talks when hes "in character" accentuates the nasal part of his voice

[@toastytriglav4829]

Anyone know what model of sunglasses James has towards the end of the video... Instantly made him cool lol

[@connormartin1618]

Not the exact brand and model but they're aviators which all generally look similar

[@notdriedapricots2958]

Thanks for doing this! Is there any way you can upload James's song (older and older, is that a boulder) and more stuff from taskmaster?

[@lovejoy26]

Not Dried Apricots your account name is absolutely brilliant

[@notdriedapricots2958]

ART IS FREEDOM haha thanks, I just changed it today. I also use the full quote often to absolute confusion

[@VoltzPlayer]

what's the quote from?

[@notdriedapricots2958]

​@@VoltzPlayer It's one of James's recurring bits, where he says "You are what you eat. I bought some ready to eat apricots, and I was ready to eat apricots" and then explains that a heckler was annoyed and said "why don't you just say dried apricots" and he was like "Not everyone is as dried apricots as they think they are" I told it poorly, I think it's in episode 3 or 4 of Repertoire

[@whateverjustposting]

As an american who never watches this show, am i correct in assuming james probably is the funniest person on the show every week (or at least every week that hes on?)

[@Waddywoos360]

I would say yes, but Milton Jones is hilarious too. Hugh Dennis has a great back catalog as he's been on for so long. Most of the other current guests are filler.

[@boredphysicist]

Have to disagree I find Milton Jones unfunny and irritating however yes Hugh Dennis is great. And in the old seasons Frankie Boyle was amazing.

[@peeps000]

Milton jones is the least funny man

[@AmarHujan]

Very late but Rhys James recently has been on great form. There's a few episodes with him, James and Ed Gamble and all three are are incredibly funny and good friends so that's fun

[@jackdavids2723]

I would watch a back and forth between James Acaster and Paul Foot
