@Abstract Parasite Alright, so at the first comedy show they do they just see who's in the audience and tailor all their content towards that specific demographic?

[@axelory7676]

@Abstract Parasite A comedian is still responsible for the audience they cultivate, though. James could have also made an entire special making fun of transpeople, but he instead chose to actively condemn the practice, choosing instead to cater to a less transphobic group. Gervais decided to do the opposite and cultivate an audience of almost pure transphobes. It's not mind bending social commentary, sure, but it reveals something about the comedians own views and opinions.

James Acaster is brilliant. An unparalleled wit on Brit panel shows. His Netflix special-trilogy REPERTOIRE was genius. COLD LASAGNE...genius as well. Meanwhile, Dave Chappelle whines, over and over and over, about being expected to write funny jokes that aren't punching down. I say this as a born U.S. American, the U.S. comics may rule the box office, but the Brits are infinitely funnier comedians and storytellers.

[@kys125]

Its okay if you like this guy more than Chappelle or any other American comedian but what is he doing other than ranting and saying what his targeted audience wants to hear? To me there is little to no artistry to it and even if you like him better I can understand how he is genius and funnier than the American greats. Nvm, who am I kidding? You just like him cause he validates your world view.

[@mikemack9701]

@@kys125 Sorry, bub, but the only one nearsighted by world-view here is you. Have you seen his work in full? You wouldn't even suggest "little to no artistry" if you had any clue. As far as that goes, I'd argue Dave Chappelle owes a good portion of his whole rep to Neal Brennan, who is the only contemporary comedian who I would compare Acaster's craft to. "What his targeted audience wants to hear" That's an argument that reeks of insecurity and defensiveness.

[@Machine3499]

@@kys125 huh, where did I say anything about who the better comedian was. It looks like you're replying to the original commenter or a person who exists in your head instead of me. To be honest, I'm not entirely sure why you feel the need to invalidate the original posters opinion, you're talking almost like the sheer possibility of someone liking James more than Chapelle is so alien to you the only reason someone can believe this is because they are being manipulated. As if the commenter decided, he only likes James because of a 5 minute clip on youtube and has no knowledge of his body of work. As per the bit, it came out in 2019, I don't think James can see the future. The bit has been available online, for months, the reason it was re-posted recently on his youtube channel is to advertise the stand up available on vimeo. I have comments on the original video asking where I could buy it as I couldn't find it, and was directed to his website. The bit is about how it's okay to make fun of transgenders, but not comedians. The moment you hold a comedian accountable, it's like this forbidden thing. About how the whole idea of some people viewing comedians as being some sort of truth sayer is ridiculous. Do you understand who he's taking about? Last thing I find it fascinating how you can be so cynical about people you don't agree with i.e. He must be lying about what he's saying to trick me cause it's impossible someone can have a different view. Yet at the same time be so naive about people you agree with. There's no way Dave could be saying this to get attention, I like him and he's my friend.

Despite both his transphobic performance at the Golden Globes in 2016, and his slew of transphobic tweets in 2019, his Wikipedia page has no "Controversy" section, nor even a mention of either the Golden Globes response in his career section, nor a mention of his transphobia under his "Social Media" section, nor either in his "Political Views" section :), it literally just mentions that he's a "fervent supporter of gay rights" - despite the fact that this is absolutely the sort of thing that would show up on someone's Wikipedia page (notably, Dave Chappelle has his controversies mentioned under his career section), even under a "Controversies" section, of which that's at least two and I'm pretty sure he'd have more since he prides himself on them James Acaster wasn't kidding when he said people aren't comfortable laughing at Ricky Gervais yet

when you watch him on different occasions you'll quickly find that his extremly awkward persona is a bit, but the rest is absolutely him

[@VGbeck22]

I laugh so hard whenever I think of him flipping out on taskmasters. If you haven’t seen it I highly recommend it, or at the very least, the final episode of his series.

[@starryxblue]

If you haven’t already listen to the off menu podcast, he’s great!

[@vaselini]

@@starryxblue never heard of the podcast featuring him, only the magic genie waiter ;)

[@stratobungle]

@@VGbeck22 What about his tales from Would I Lie To You? Side-splitting!

[@Flamezy86]

I love james his style of humour is fantastic and I have always felt that self-deprecating humour have aged well

[@theog6494]

yessss. ive been waiting for this clip to drop. I had so many conversations I wish I could have posted this into to. cannot wait to use it religiously in the future 🔮♥

[@lucaswoodbridge]

without a shadow of a doubt the best comedian of all time, where others fall short James always delivers

[@ScsigsGaming]

I respect you, James.

[@slyasleep]

Some people really do carry justice in their hearts.

[@madilynlunsford9407]

I love this so much! Thank you, James! This means the world to me and clearly by all these comments the rest of the trans community, and also all the decent, kind, reasonable people around the world who support equality and inclusivity. Thank you for being hilarious and supportive for all to see. 🥰❤️🥰❤️🥰

[@DavyManners]

I wish the full thing was available other than a niche streaming service I never heard of

[@redpandamaniacal]

I feel like I've liked this clip already, but sure, I'll like it again. (Maybe it wasn't from the official channel.)

[@arnom49ify]

I think he uploaded it because of the recent stuff by Dave Chapelle, it was defo uploaded here before

[@johanjarvinen]

Dave Chapelle could do with a shout-out of this kind in the next special. Saying this after he won a Grammy for his TERF comments.

[@sophie7780]

this feels aptly timed

[@PeachGardenOath]

3:13 me to my friends during argument

[@CrowrockHD]

Another brilliant comedian takes their foot off the brake, Amazing work James!

[@CASEMSTR]

GOLD! Love it! This joke can now feature two big time names, an older bigot white man, and an older bigot black man. See, equality! 🤣🤣🤣🤣So funny

[@nocontextwhatever]

Ditch those crizzos ASAP!! 🤣🤣 The funniest thing Ricky gervais has ever said was, "meet Karl Pilkington."

[@soijustlistenedto...]

always comes back to this. ❣️

[@tabarakkhazraj544]

Oh my fucking god ( yes i swear now 😂 ) but seriously i love this and i can’t wait to watch it full

[@mongoose621]

I honsetly took a minute to remember what a patronus is. I'm losing my dorkiness :(

[@theplasmawolf]

He's right. I'm in the clear but I know my patronus is a wolf :)

[@rachelfox8108]

...He's taking a knock at people who claim to be supportive of trans people but still consume Harry Potter content as if JK Rowling hasn't been an outspoken transphobe/TERF for years who considers support of her works to be support of her transphobic ideology.

[@caitlin329]

@@rachelfox8108 This is an interesting take, but I'm like 80% sure he wasn't thinking about this, and more about how they're 'in the clear' but they're also massive nerds. It doesn't mean I don't think he'd think that, or that it isn't a good take, just that I don't think that's the original joke's context.

[@rachelfox8108]

@@caitlin329 I mean, he's definitely aware of JK Rowling being a massive transphobe, since this has been old news for a long time. Even if my take is wrong and that link wasn't done intentionally, it will have played a role in his thought process here.

[@danishartaholic9439]

As a trans guy who’s been a fan for YEARS he never seems to amaze me with his continuous support. Not just towards me but other minorities as well. Thank you James. The only CISHET white man I’ll trust.
