I can't believe he called himself "Bim"! LOL At least the audience got a laugh out of drinking too much and having a massive headache.

[@ArtyIF]

if you listen they actually say "jim"

[@NickG123]

Wow, I love James way, he could even make toast interesting, as a matter of fact, HE HAS! (Food tribe)...

[@campkira]

everyone working with him rather doubt it.. take alot of edited just to made it... some where in between at best..

[@R6Edward3946]

He can make anything funny

[@tobiokageyama5203]

You has been recognize by prime video

[@digitalvideosolutionsdvsto9959]

[@johncone2216]

Joe

[@johnleach7879]

He was thrown a handicap: The entire audience was over 70 years old.

[@gibbb9339]

he literally becomes the top gear james may on any show

[@businessphone6709]

this is bloody hilarious. James May sophisticated and funny

[@CCCSaxsonWarmonger]

i looked right from 3:19 to the title and died laughing cuz of how accurate the video name was.

[@NeinBreaker]

He’d probably fare better with that performance back at the Osaka comedy club.

[@rafputin4659]

He got the BIM nickname from a robot🤣

[@ramblincapuchin9075]

I like to think a man like Ruroni Kensin sometimes entered this kind of theater on the off occasion that he isn't slicing people in half > then find himself truly moved that he doubles down on "social obligation" Could make for a decent bit

[@creativecatproductions]

This was such a great show

[@GaryTurbo]

Japan has some creepy looking puppets

[@campkira]

it is their style...

[@magnumjade45]

Any puppet is creepy, even western ones

[@reginadea2821]

"Bewilders"? It's called art, mate.

[@alcupone6462]

Stunning moment, only question left... What would Clarkson do?

[@suryatenda4696]

Farming

[@whydoesitmatter6129]

Lol it reminds me of the ewok scene with c 3p0

[@hyperspace32]

Can anyone tell me the background music after 1:57?

[@millball]

Darude sandstorm

[@noxeternia6681]

why am i fuqing laughing XD

[@FarazmKhan328]

It wasn't terrible. It just lacked that certain panache.

[@wody416]

😅😅

[@user-xt1cd3tt9s]

雪女か。 英訳したらsnow woman?

[@lpsp442]

This seems like an awkward stunt and not something useful for getting the audience to know Japan, or Japan to know James May / us

[@Chrisamic]

Perhaps not, but it's what happened. Long live Bim.

[@tobydammit6599]

Its funny and serves as entertainment which is literally the whole point of the show.

[@xXx_Regulus_xXx]

the audience got some laughs out of it, he apologized for the middling quality, and he taught a lot of people what Bunraku is. it's not that bad

[@yahwehsonren]

Bim

[@monoris2008]

彼は私と観客達に共感性羞恥を植え付けた、それはかなり辛い経験ですw

[@sianwarwick633]

Aren't you supposed to hide your face while doing the puppetry. I know, this is foreigned appropriates culture etc. Su mi ma t'sen

[@coryv5679]

Will never understand the love of puppets. Looks so boring and lame. But people like what they like.

[@mcfcguvnors]

I am Bim :D
