Just James Acaster Being Hilarious | The Last Leg

[@EatinPaste]

The *immediate* _"Go fuck yourself"_ from James to *Lorraine Kelly* will forever be one of the best moments in TV. Ever.

[@CraftBasti]

Could you please explain to me what the deal was there? Who was the person whose name made James so upset and why exactly?

[@benjamonpookoo2741]

@@CraftBasti Piers Morgan is a famous journalist in the UK, and he’s (generally speaking) centre-right socio-politically. He’s seemingly reasonable enough to collect a large listening audience, but pretty fucking problematic in a lot of socio-political conversations. Acaster is socio-politically left of centre, so his outrage is expected and pretty funny. To what extent this is a true statement, I’m not sure, but Piers is kinda like a gateway drug for centrists to think more suspiciously of liberal socio-politics, and presents as an archetype of a white middle-aged man who’s becoming despondent with cultural change, and is most comfortable living with their ‘lot’. He also just comes across as a bit of a nob. Ps to anyone reading - I pure don’t care to debate on the validity of Piers’ journalism, I’m just blobbing together my peripheral experience of the zeitgeist that involves him, speaking as a largely uninterested British citizen on the sensationalism of modern media styles. If you like him, you can live forever or die tomorrow, it’s really non of my business or interest. Peace ✌🏼

2:51 Iconic moment right there

[@phunkymind23]

I don't know why you're only showing clips. James Acaster existing is the best moments. But, you know, fair play.

[@JackHeathWriter]

It's so rare to see Acaster nearly lose it, but he does at 05:54

[@obscurereference6298]

"tea bagged to kingdom come."

100% my favorite comedian

[@__-cd9ug]

6:51 is probably the most underrated moment here haha

he steals the show on WILTY. best guest on that show second only to bob mortimer

When you wait patiently for the best moment to say something powerful. Respect. 😂😂😂.

[@bamboozla9977]

Was this the same year we were all congratulating and cheering for nurses and doctors and people in the care sector during the pandemic ? To come out and say Morgan is wild

[@ACF1972JHB]

The moment with Lorraine reminded me how a lot of vacuousness leads to fame. She’s a delightful person to watch on ‘lite’ amusement TV, but that riff on Piers was revealing.

[@Ohm521]

Thats a lot of judgement to make off a bit. She was trying to be funny in an ironic way not sincerely defending him.

Surely if a flute player is called a flutist, a didgeridoo player must have a special name too... Didgeridooer? Didgeridooist?

A flute player is actually called a flautist.

Drop the skin joutine James

Shit... I hope I don't ruin my band by telling the drummer to slow down. It's a real possiblity.

[@RIXRADvidz]

UK Pray Acaster stays in comedy, if he goes into politics, you're looking at a Leader for Life. and you thought your Bag for Life was going to be around for ever.

[@omarsabih]

He will age well.

I'm honestly trying, I really am, but I swear I've never found a clip of James Acaster being funny - ever. I'm sure there are people who find him funny and that's fine but I just do not see why he is funny.

Have you watched him on Would I lie to you? It's a good introduction to his sense of humour I think

[@JDLupus]

If it's of any help, I'll be the first to say that it doesn't matter if you don't find him funny. Ignore anyone making fun of that fact or who are trying to tell you to force yur sense of humou to change and go do more fun things instead :)

[@sofiaguerrero0969]

Watch taskmaster! He was hilarious in that. Also the panel shows he’s a guest on. If that doesn’t do it for you, then I think your sense of humor is just different from his and the people that like him. To be fair, I love James but his stand up can be a bit too whimsical at times. I prefer shows where he just says what comes to his mind on the spot.

[@littlecatfeet9064]
