James Acaster's Sweet Home Lahnsteineringa - Episode 1 - The Carnival

[@David-ud9ju]

That guy actually had a good voice and could do a pretty damn good impression of Elvis as well.

[@6jonline]

German Elvis is amazing. Glad this is top comment because I was about to post almost the same thing.

[@_ktie]

omg that guy who impersonated elvis was amazing what a legend

[@anandkale646]

James: I will not dance infront of camera, cuz things come haunting back Also James: dances infront of camera like no one's watching....

[@kunaltolani1248]

I thought of that comment too, but can't place where he said it!

[@mss11235]

Interestingly, Emma moved in with James's ex Rose (not Mrs. Bean, but the one afterward) right around the time Rose and James would have broken up. Within the last 2 years: - Rose has tweeted that the best sex of her life was when she was patted down at an airport - Emma penned a 5 part Tweet me-too-ing someone where she later redacted the first 2 parts which may have named the "abuser" that held a "position of power [relative to her] within her industry" (comedy and acting) I love James. And this is interesting.

[@JG-kk1mr]

@@mss11235 what are you implying? rose's tweet is a joke. nothing about emma's tweets implicate james in any way - if she had named him, people would have picked up on it immediately and screencapped it.

[@sofiaguerrero0969]

@@mss11235 Sorry, but if you are implying that James is a sexual abuser I will bust out laughing. And Emma could have been talking about anyone. She seemed very smitten with him in this video, so I highly doubt she was talking about him. Edit: and about rose’s tweet, it’s almost as if she’s a comedian and is supposed to make jokes.

James dancing at the end is like Conan OBrien dancing always = the greatest thing I’ve ever seen

As a German I am so glad we had this fine specimen represent our lovely nation. You really got the naked truth here. This really represent the average middle aged German perfectly. They do be like that. 😅

[@Matt7895]

Michael Palin will feel like an absolute tosser when he watches this. Great stuff.

[@Matt7895]

@Mark Shadbolt No problem!

[@tuxedobike4067]

At six minutes he's like a four-year-old at a Nativity play, mouthing the words.

[@prince-solomon]

Lahnstein is a nice little town with an awesome castle ruin and history. I live 22km to the north. Their carnival though... well, it's ... well, at least you had some fun!

[@theodorej3954]

The Elvis guy looks like Ed Gamble playing a character

[@The3Storms]

In the gateau? 🍰 Thanks for giving this American a genuine belly laugh 😂 I wonder what amusements I’ve returned auf Deutsch over the years.

[@themadplotter]

In the gateux

my favourite part was when james went and joined the carnival to represent kettering

[@MuayThaiSabaiSabai]

Ich fass es nicht. Kölsche Musik und fastelovend. Love him even more now ❤️

in Germany we call this "going where the pain is".

Thank you.

[@samtankersley98]

I ship Emma and James based solely off that awkward hug and James’ admiration for her enthusiasm

[@austinpowers8550]

What does I ship Emma and James mean? I'm German and English is my third language so I don't understand this.

[@caglaunal710]

@@austinpowers8550 He means he wants Emma and James to be in a romantic relationship

[@RugbyGuide]

I love that little chant after the whole group chant. Anyone care to enlighten me as to what was said (boom boom, I think I get :D ).

[@timeless4369]

Anyone know the name of the song that James is dancing to at the end?

[@annanas8430]

Carneval by Höhner or Hoehner, I tried to find it based on the bits of lyrics I understood, hope that's the right one, looks like a typical german carneval song to me :)

[@elizabeth1703]

5:57 lol...

[@danielcarr1297]

I feel like you could swap the music out with something unsettling and this would become immediately very creepy.

[@TDFF4]

Emma definitely wants him

He's John Nutlips.

[@Larryandbob]

what happens if i leak this early? will the CIA get me?

[@katharina9318]

False translation! He asked what his favourite thing in Kettering was. What he remembered would be: Woran erinnern Sie sich in Kettering?

[@JessKnightNC]

Dude, that German singing guy looks like a weird, chubby version of Ed Gamble!! LOL.

[@hbwestham]

why they all got West Ham stuff on?

[@ephemera...]

Why was the translator in the bad books?

[@ryantheiron4191]

James is West Ham! Whodafukdafortdat? I knew that boy had class!

[@woodhammer8341]

Ryan The Iron I don’t actually think he is. I know he was a Man Utd fan as a kid and has reported that he has no interest in football anymore, so I reckon someone just lent him the scarf/hat. His German translator was wearing a WHU hat, so maybe it was him!

[@ryantheiron4191]

your translator is extremely bad !

[@tlbagnall]

"Was ist deine lieblings dinge in Kettering"

[@Widdekuu91]

Yeah, I noticed that too. It should've been; 'Was erinnern Sie sich noch von Kettering' (someone corrected me, erinnere = erinnern) Or something. I'm not a translator, I'm Dutch. I'm guessing that was a somewhat correct translation xD
