Mock the Week S17 E1. 7 June 2018. HD. James Acaster, Angela Barnes, Ed Gamble, Darren Harriott...

Dara O Briain, Hugh Dennis, guests James Acaster, Angela Barnes, Ed Gamble, Darren Harriott and Zoe Lyons. 7 June 2018

[@mdntctyvlcn]

Ed Gamble and James Acaster should really get their own show together. Their styles of comedy feed off each other so well.

[@robmason1]

@caleb they do already have shows together

[@elliescott3326]

they have a youtube show called just puddings on the channel turtle canyon comedy

[@becauseimafan]

Ellie Scott I hadn't known that, gonna check it out! Thanks!!

[@BipoIarbear]

Ed works with Greg Davies already

[@drdassler]

Caleb Flood gotta defend James here. He doesn't need to carry any dead weight. He's so much better than Ed.

[@isabelweaver6909]

Love when Ed and James are on together they work so well together (makes sense since they're friends)

[@Tamashi88]

I have a theory that Ed used to do Improv in uni or something (not the sort of thing that would be recorded for posterity) he has a very "Yes and..?" attitude that allows absurd comics like James to build to a crescendo. That said, them being friends doesn't hurt. On another episode they were talking about puddings (the minister for health said puddings were bad) and James said how upset that made him, he once went over to Eds and ate an entire pint of B&J while looking up American B&J flavours. (cue laughter and ribbing from the others). Ed then revealed that James hadn't been invited that day (implication being James interrupted Ed and his girlfriend). Just another added layer of absurdity that added so much!

[@francesca8880]

Tamashi88 do you know what episode they talk about pudding on?

[@tyranosaurusbex2950]

The Ed Gamble-James Acaster duo is just a guaranteed good show

[@emisthem6562]

One's a diabetic and the other is so sweet his sugar levels won't drop XD

[@tacobell4743]

You’d like their podcasts together then. It’s called Off Menu

[@TomQuick14]

@@tacobell4743 was just about to mention this! They are class

[@centurionquincy3899]

They’ve also both been on Taskmaster. Not at the same time, but they are hilarious

[@kurtsudheim825]

They're mates who have down they're own stuff together, a desert show because ed can't have much sugar & a podcast now

[@christeebs]

I'd really watch anything with James Acaster

[@MJAY-N7129]

So true. He's such a cutie and really funny

[@peterstringfellow3430]

Have you watched taskmaster with James

[@theidiotzonexo]

love how the panel on the right are the snazzy shirt brigade

[@fairytoffee3159]

seeing James in a line up always makes me happy because I know I am gonna laugh :D

[@flannelgay420]

I started watching this mainly to see James and Ed, but I gotta say I was really impressed by Darren’s and Angela’s standup. (Also I really wanna know where Ed buys clothes because he always has cool shirts on this show)

[@ae4164]

I was impressed by the irony of Darren making fun of Trump's ignorance of other cultures and then referring to the leader of North Korea as "King Jong Un."

[@dragonaffliction23]

@@ae4164 most people hold the president of a country to a higher standard than panel show hosts. To each their own though.

"Oh, so he's not a racist now?"

[@krileayn]

He isn't

[@maniswolftoman]

krileayn Ha! You should be on this show. That’s hilarious.

[@krileayn]

@@maniswolftoman Did the Wacists scare you?

[@maniswolftoman]

krileayn Do racists scare me? No. I laughed in your face. That would suggest the opposite of fright. As a Trump supporter written language may come as a difficult code to decipher, I know. Eventually you’ll get past those board books and maybe tackle a Hardy Boys mystery or two.

[@krileayn]

@@maniswolftoman Please keep being condescending and elitist, that's why Trump keeps winning. Hope you figure it out soon

[@Fullvinyl]

That horse joke was quality.

[@mikemcfry7310]

Yeh, but, don't set me up for that!

[@MJAY-N7129]

I laughed so hard at that 🤣🤣🤣

[@Withjoyfulsenescence]

People saying that these comedians being political nowadays.... Please note: most comedians get their material from real life, ergo do consider real life politics are CURRENTLY comedic.

[@thehellyousay]

Thank you for your erudite explanation of the obvious. Your cookie is in the mail.

[@ConstantChaos1]

@@thehellyousay you underestimate how stupid people can be, some people genuinely don't get that

[@annother3350]

Nobody is saying that on a political comedy show

[@ko9]

The Pummeler: "Here he comes to save the day!"

[@DeathWard187]

Hugh dennis always looks baked or half cut. Hes my favorite though. Such a funny guy.

[@nefwaenre]

It's like James and Eddie are soul mates ♥

[@nijnij3988]

Live their chemistry on off menu as well. Often complimenting eachother on jokes or questions, saying how proud they are of eachother. And I love how when James goes super weird and whimsical, Ed just goes: right, what are you on about, mate. And James just leaning into it even more. Definitely one of my favourite pods of all time

[@marthabruton5128]

"aerodynamic trump" did not get enough love

[@CorvusCorone68]

"trump" could be used to mean loud fart, and farts are very much in the air, and tend to have an effect on the dynamic of a room, especially a loud one

[@TheHasa13]

I like the number of snazzy shirts in this show

[@MrCRMoir]

Love James acaster

[@hudds90]

james is one of the funniest original comedians today

[@amateuruncle]

is nobody talking about james' jawline tho?

[@marcierose9857]

groovyheck thinking it

[@lucybarnes8969]

'Bush wasn't that bad' 👌👌

[@nicolasvanderhaar9237]

Angela Barnes is easily one of my favourites, so funny

[@EightThreeEight]

Agreed. Never understood why she gets so much flak.

[@querenlumiere8459]

“ no James you did cocaine” 😂

[@JasonSmith-my7ug]

I wanna clone James Acaster and have him with me at ALL times!

[@luiseduardogomezdearandaju723]

Hugh Dennis is always in top form :)

[@cruz1ale]

First question and James already has three zingers up his sleeve

[@joycemoss6205]

I watch any thing with Ed Gamble!!

[@oskarcarnwath9665]

I love James sm 😍💖

[@ediecolley9642]

Angela and the hard soft flashing joke is seriously underrated

[@TheUltimateKpopfan]

ed gamble's x-ray baby joke was perfect

[@afrog2666]

"I love that moment, when you decide whether it `s OK or not.." MeToo!

[@starlightiris]

One of my all-time favourite episodes of this show!

[@traceynewstead420]

I'll hold you and love you for ever James Acaster 👍

[@LittleMAC78]

I'm not convinced Ed Gamble was joking about about James Acaster with the quip he made about taking cocaine...

[@OnsLena]

Exactly! Laughed so hard about that as well

[@mrbrown2186]

The nearest James Acaster comes to cocaine is when he accidentally snorts a bit of his sherbet dip.

[@berenedain8427]

Yeah 14:55 your nose sore there bud?

[@flannelgay420]

James did kinda look guilty after Ed said that lol

[@Lexi-eg6yj]

Ed Gamble is HOT

[@sillysongs19]

Also funny, but then so much of this panel is good.

[@RIXRADvidz]

I still think Ed looks like ''Randy the Mischief Marionette'' from Pee Wee's Playhouse

[@MultiMolly21]

A friend of mine is his spitting image; if your're interested he's unmarried, I could give you his number!

[@scarpoochie]

Agreed! Swoon.

[@jonevans6446]

At first I questioned my capacity to watch these sessions more than once sometimes; and then it hit me, if that was an unaccompanied piano sonata it wouldn't seem weird at all.

Ed’s impeachment comment aged incredibly well.

[@annother3350]

Nobody was impeached

[@mcstriker]

@@annother3350 well Trump was, but faced no punishment for it

[@annother3350]

@@mcstriker he was only impeached by Democrats!! -- he faced no punishment because no Judge could find a valid reason to complete the impeachment!! It was as if Labour voted to 'impeach' Boris Johnson but then no Judge could find an actual legal reason they should be removed. Completely pointless
