[@that.guy11]

Love it when James is "on" during interviews and it throws the interviewers off; guess they expected him not to use his comedy persona on BBC Breakfast...guess again!

[@myelectioneering]

How to make a point about our culture without making it direct and boring. Top job.

[@charlotteeo746]

I got recommended an article about how painfully awkward this interview was and people hating on James but Jesus christ those interviewers were useless, giving James nothing to work with even though the whole book is clearly a joke

[@kathrynmckie4471]

How people don't realise this is all in jest and just James' humor I don't know! He's hilarious and he makes some very good points. I reckon anyone who got offended by this might have had their egos bruised as they are the people that do the things he is joking about! 🤣🤣

[@jackthursby5794]

He's too good for BBC Breakfast.

[@sophieaustin2630]

Anyone who was outraged by this clearly doesn’t like James’ humour/haven’t seen his material before

[@Elwaves2925]

Like the two people interviewing him. They weren't outraged but they really didn't seem to get James or the what he said.

[@Elwaves2925]

@MR W Whine, whine, whine. Yet here you are engaging with something related to him, which as far as YT is concerned shows you are interested in him.

[@mccullochuk]

My son was telling me today about James coming to his school for a workshop sort of thing for the older students ( we live in his home town) I like Jim he gives back to this community. My son thought he was pretty ace too

[@kavitamohan19]

James is the epitome of dry, awkward comedy. He does it so well. People, on the other hand are as dumb as a bag of soup.

[@gilligan80]

Dry awkward comedy... Steven wright....James IS a joke

[@nickg1743]

You are a jackanape

[@grahamflorida5942]

Comedian makes joke about how weird it would be if we did things in real life that we do online, the world loses it's mind. I feel like it must just be people still upset about his Ricky Gervais joke looking for excuses to be mad.

[@john.premose]

Remember what Voltaire said-- if you want to know who really runs the world ask yourself who you're not allowed to criticize. People flipping out about leaving social media proves just how much they are scared of not being able to control people through it anymore

[@alistairsproul8263]

Love James Acaster. Clearly not everyone appreciates his absurd observations.

[@nektekket852]

I'm sure he wouldn't be comfortable with the kind of audience Michael McIntyre enjoys......

[@willsilverside9369]

Anyone calling this awkward is painfully unfunny.

[@TheMrJoeconnolly]

loved the post turkey silence

[@ekulsnave1616]

Because it wasn’t funny

[@sofiaguerrero0969]

The interviewers took everything too seriously lol

[@adambond5726]

My god people have actually gone crazy over this?! Celebrity is a generic word it's not like he was joking about a particular person. The world's gone fucking mad!!

[@cactuscooler4003]

This is amazing. James is funny as fuck.

[@mikemccolm8311]

I knew when I read a headline "viewers disgusted by comedian".... I'd fucking love it! Some people are just pathetic gimps who get offended by anything and everyone, also lacking enough intelligence to pick up on the tone and style of comedian they are witnessing!

[@jujutrini8412]

What are they disgusted by? I don’t understand how anything here is in any way worth being offended by.

[@richardshields1488]

Quiet right doing that. In your life you don't need validation from strangers on Facebook and Twitter etc. You can have a better life

[@kate-mm4dx]

This is so funny idk what people are on about

[@niallmaca5670]

James is brilliant. Smart and funny lad.

[@LrdBogdanoff]

The only painful thing about this is the presenters. Why are people so bothered by this 🤣

[@emilybitzel7242]

He's wonderful.

[@Kazza_8240]

That newsreader saying he doesn't think he can live without social media, ffs, what age is he? 5? And these are the types of people bringing us the news 🤣 Edit - probably seems ridiculous to me as I don't have any social media 🤭 'Did you go cold turkey?' This newsreader has got SERIOUS addiction problems with social media if he thinks it's that hard to chuck he's comparing it to hard drugs, ffs, he's old enough to have grown up without this shit, why is everyone SO dependent on having their views heard? Or just validating others ideas? Go live your own life, get out of the house dammit, and meet and interact with REAL people! 😂

[@emilydavies497]

I’m just buzzing Rhyl got a mention

[@lilme7052]

I've quit SM, I argue with people on here now.

[@nektekket852]

No you don't....

[@user-xh1kz7rm4j]

I don't understand why people went nuts over this. It wasn't his best, these ZOOM calls are never great. Nothing to loose your mind over.

[@dawngosling7300]

Love him!!

[@dolceanstar]

"Could I live without social media? I'm not sure I could." I remember similar bozos talking about how their life was contained in a filofax. No wonder the planet's squaring up for a catastrophe!!!

[@Bcsmith333]

All I see is people saying it's nuts the people are going nuts over this... but what are they going nuts over?

[@gabsonmars]

Some people didnt like that he joked about celebrity deaths, others didnt think he was funny. In my opinion its silly for the show to have tried to make this a serious interview about quitting social media when its not a serious book. It made the whole dynamic weird.

[@Bcsmith333]

@@gabsonmars Thanks for filling me in. I agree it's silly how seriously the show is taking it, and I love seeing James laughing at them.

[@roadrunner-ys5wd]

The presenters made this cold and dead james seems fine read a whole lotta rubbish about it all earlier today much ado about nowt

[@TI_Ted]

Bakecaster - now, that’s one of the early Fender guitars right ?

[@Jenniferlwarm]

This is just his persona if you don't know this then fair enough you might think it was a weird interview but... I don't get what all the commotion is about ? Lol

[@HamishHT]

I became Jame

[@williamhamshaw9979]

god he's a genius

[@HarryFlashman.]

Oh noooo! What am I going to do!

[@StratsRUs]

Death Becomes Breakfast

[@joeasher2876]

He's just a very dry comedian who uses awkward comedy... If people don't know who he is then they might not get it.

[@adambond5726]

Even if this was not a comedian and not even meant as a joke he still shouldn't be getting all this comeback. It's pathetic really

[@jagger5392]

lol the problem with this was that the interviewers kept trying to seriously ask him about what he does and how he went about quitting, and never got that it’s all not serious - even when he broke character to tell them so lmao. how can you interview a comedian and take everything seriously?

[@fatbelly27]

There's only one intelligent person in the room and it's not even close

[@stevedennison4095]

I'm pretty sure it is double "t" in "quitting", mate. Can't be arsed to Google it though.

[@Buttfudgie]

they clearly didn’t understand his cold turkey joke lol. i laughed so hard 🦃🥶❄️

[@Lizzo13]

I just read the article after seeing these comments. People are really stupid. It's obviously a fictional book, and James is partly playing the character in these interviews. Shocking that people can't figure that out when it's so obvious.

[@adityar6192]

Acaster positioning himself to take over as UK PM like Zelensky

[@emanonkianols]

Did they say james bakecaster?

[@bazzoparticipates3776]

He's about as funny as James Acaster

[@johnlowe3050]

I stopped using social media years ago, anybody still on it is a.....

[@snottylottie]

The presenters are so square lol why so rigid and boring

[@gillianshimwell4984]

It's their job. Like an accompanist...May be able to do Rach 3 standing on their head,but it's the singer that matters...

[@Rudyandthedogs2020]

who is he ?

[@palliard]

He's a comedic genius, but it's subtle and builds. Watch his 3 Netflix specials. mind blowing!

[@grahamflorida5942]

@@palliard As incredible as cold lasagna is, Repertoire is still my favourite.

Ask the dogs Rudy, they watch his specials when you're out cos they know their shit

[@DylanMush]

Why are people in the comments acting as if he is gods gift to mankind?

[@meganm1074]

If you really want to know, check out his Netflix special. He is brilliant, takes comedy to a whole new level. (And important to realise he is in persona)

[@hextree]

Because he is.

[@snottylottie]

he is

[@him050]

I love James Acaster’s stand up, but in interviews he’s insufferable. Grow up man!

[@paulbromley6687]

Was an Acaster fan but not so much now.

[@ianlaker6980]

Dry paint watching Wish he'd write a book about giving up comedy as if he ever started 😂😂😂😂😂
