i love James' comedic persona he usually does on panel and stand-up but this more genuine feeling self is somehow even funnier!

[@DevilboyScooby]

Whenever he breaks character on Off Menu and starts ranting about cheese boards it's usually hilarious, too.

[@jjlonsdale5971]

I think you'd enjoy the Radio 4 (?) stuff he did with Josh Widdicombe. It's a similar casual atmosphere of comedians riffing amongst themselves, and is home to the original Cabadge Chronicles!

[@HOTD108_]

@@jjlonsdale5971 Does every radio and TV show in the UK share the same couple dozen entertainers? Whenever I see someone reccommding a UK show it's always featuring the same familiar names. Very insular.

[@gudmundur-heimisson]

@@HOTD108_there’s one company called Avalon entertainment that produces pretty much every panel show in the UK. The comedians that are signed with their talent agency are usually the ones making the panel show circuit.

[@thesciencesrule]

Also, always a pleasure to see James Acaster out of character

[@Yomil]

@Papa B He puts forward a persona. An exaggeration of who he is.

[@corbeau-_-]

@@Yomil I was going to say, this is more true to himself. The other part - his job, is quite literally an act...

[@SteveDorrans]

@Papa B All stand ups are playing a character when they are performing, albeit often loosely based on an aspect of themselves.

[@vivicharlie]

“Well done, love. You know your length” 😂🤣

[@cjastuff1248]

Rhod should write the Task on Taskmaster Get the most Panda facts correct Barry will keep the scores Bonus points for best buzzer noise You have 10 minutes Your time starts now

[@AwkwardWhispers]

I just have to say: I've got asperger's and you filmed my favorite comedian taking a quiz about my special interest (Giant Pandas). I cannot express how excited I am by this.

[@HOTD108_]

Do you just have one special interest, or many?

[@Operative6]

You be that guy Barry!

[@rebeccaschmidt8046]

I really want to give James a big hug and also his couch looks really comfy. Panda quiz was gold 👍🏼

[@protocol6]

Not distinguishing between the Giant Panda and the Red Panda seems a rather critical flaw in that ascending order of size question. They aren't closely related despite sharing part of their common name. It's the Red Panda that nobody could figure out whether it was a racoon or a bear (it's neither, but much closer to racoon) and it has a rather long striped tail. The Giant Panda is, of course, a bear with a stubby little tail. One would be at the top of the list and the other at the bottom.

[@Galiea456]

A few years ago it dawned on me that raccoons were named trash panda's because of how closely they resemble red pandas and for most of my life I was just like "They don't even look like giant pandas."

[@janeeyre1990]

I am 30 years old Mac'n'cheese is my favorite food My favorite animals are the black bear, sea otter, fox, and cuttlefish COME AT ME, RHOD

[@aaronachnid]

I've never learnt so much about pandas in under 15 minutes. R+

[@samroberts7404]

Barry 👏 That's my favourite joke ever!

[@jabbazabba23]

Add Lloyd in here, and I would bankroll for this lineup weekly. Really great dynamic between all of them.

[@utsukmusic]

Lloyd is better in stories. Imagine if rhod was self aware of his sociopathiness. The world would be boring.

[@jabbazabba23]

@Paul Marshall That story about Pindrop cemented my eternal love for Acaster. Perfection.

[@PinkyPurpleGalaxy]

with Barry on a bracketed 1 😂😂😂😂😂

[@Gowerrr]

Yay James!!

[@test12559]

Best podcast out there love the chemistry

[@thecartooner11]

Amazing!!

[@KnotsEdge]

This was really good, and really made me love Rhod. That scoring system, where James got 6 points and Sian 0 was suspect, though

[@tamoorfromthe5ive]

I heard that duck joke on an episode of News Quiz from 2008

[@CityofLight11]

I wish I was cool enough to be James Acaster's friend, but also my favourite animal is the Fairy Penguin and I refuse to feel any shame over it

[@mellownessuperstar2618]

That was hilarious.

[@FirstLast-bi8xi]

Sian's voice is lovely ;)

[@chrisworthman3191]

She seems so happy being married to Rhod. There is someone for everyone.

[@janeeyre1990]

A worthwoman for every worthman

[@kesktify]

7:47 you can see why 😂

[@smncameron]

Excuse me. Wale's sexiest man is the perfect man for almost anyone.

[@chrisworthman3191]

@@smncameron I don't know if that is good for him or just bad for Wales.

[@thesciencesrule]

I got one point (they're giant compared to red pandas). And aw I love that Barry has a favourite animal!

[@mellownessuperstar2618]

Keep the questions and answers covered up! Lol

[@azimuthchaos8942]

Rrriiiggghhhttt... its childish to have a favourite animal... 😜

[@janeeyre1990]

Ridickulous

[@elizaheathen]

why tf is everyone having a go at barry for the favorite animal you lot don't have a favorite animal?!

[@PinkyPurpleGalaxy]

Exactly

[@DreamsAreMakeBelieve]

And an ocelot is an excellent choice

[@joshuaphillips4842]

So funny

[@DanielleA2023]

Rhod Romesh James Sacha Baron Cohen: UKs most intelligent-and best-comdians atm

[@MakeSomeNoiseAgencyPlaylists]

plus Gervais and Lycett, please

[@SugarSnapDragon]

The only thing I know about pandas.(Ok that and where they're from, that they eat bamboo and that their bodies are clearly made for eating meat, but they stopped) Red Pandas look like raccoons, and are related to raccoons, so the taxinomic nominclature of the word panda is related to thinking they're related to raccoons.

[@budle89]

Ooh... Barry looks like Daniel Craig somewhat.

[@Dr_MattS]

How much lighting (and glassware) does Barry need to produce this much froth? I’ve been a fan of the podcast for ages, but only just found the moving pictures version. It’s excellent. I do hope Rhod is on the mend. Best wishes and look forward to you being back when you’re good and ready. Boner point, and Sian never seeing anything flaccid 😂

[@irisblue2332]

Barry's comment begs for the joke "How do you titillate an ocelot?" Oscillate its tit a lot!

[@damselfly8]

Here in America we call Racoons "Trash Panda's" because they look like little Panda Bears that dig through your rubbish bins.

[@adrianjas284]

I Australia we have Ibis birds. They are wetland birds normally found on the Nile Delta. With their long curved beaks they survive well in our urban areas foraging out of public rubbish bins and stealing people's lunches. We call them "bin chickens"

[@utsukmusic]

Here on YT, we call Racoons the idiot in the Ginyu force coz we can't differentiate consonants.

[@MakeSomeNoiseAgencyPlaylists]

not cool

[@SugarSnapDragon]

As a woman, I'm gonna say experience assures me, there's no such thing as an average human penis. Even if you're only looking a one, it's changing size as you're looking at it, it doesn't even have an average size itself, much less across the broad spectrum.

[@MoistFluid]

Beautiful quiz!

[@marywood8794]

Glad to find this podcast on KZbin. I always like Rhod and James and it's nice to meet Rhod's wife. My only issue is...I wish Rhod would either color or shave that white/gray beard! It makes him look at least 10 years older. It's weird that he dyes his hair but not the beard! Lol

[@RainbowFishSaysHello]

It upsets me that they didn’t say how long the ruler was. A ruler meter or a 30cm one!? They have the length written on them!

[@sorekcazimi]

he says it’s 30 cm at 10:41

[@HOTD108_]

They definitely did say the length of the ruler. Try watching the video again and listen a little closer.

[@georgielancaster1356]

In any case, to refer to A ruler is understood by everyone, to refer to a 12 inch/30 cm ruler. You have to make it very clear if you refer to a metre ruler.
