It's just that he is a funny guy and picks funny stories that he can go off on. He isn't really making an effort to tell a lie and as you can see, he is always telling a true story. Both of the guests were his people. Goes to show that he probably actually isn't that great at ad libbing completely (although that carpet-Aladdin joke at the end was absolutely perfect). That's not a bad thing, though, he just has a different style, picking a good story and turning it into gold.
Michael Rasmussen why thank you very much, I can confirm however that you still possess 1 like in both of your comments and they’re both mine so no news for you for now :)
I feel like James is the only person to stump David's wisecracks. He'll be like "yeah but explain this" and then James explains it perfectly so David just sits there stewing. If it were anybody else and you've seen the show, you know that every single person gets roasted by David's logic.
I love that when pointing at Mick the child nemesis "I hate this child with all my heart." Mick is smiling and you know he loves it and they are having a grand time.
David is in awe of James. He loves him. He can’t believe how clever, quick, funny and mental James is. It’s a marvellous thing to see - simply because David loves roasting everyone and is usually pretty good at it. James outwits him every time and David adores him for it. Aww 😂.

And that was the third time we saw the Loch Ness monster. Then one time, I believe it was July or August. There's a knock on the door. I open it, and there's this cute little girl scout and she says to me, "How would you like to buy some cookies?" And I said "Well, what kind do you have?" She had thin mints, graham crunchy things... Raisin oatmeal, and I said "We'll take a graham crunch. How much will that be?" And she looks at me and she says, "...Uh I need about tree-fitty... Well, it was about that time that I notice that girl scout was about eight stories tall and was a crustacean from the protozoic era. The Loch Ness monster. I said, "Dammit monster! Get off my lawn! I ain't giving you no tree-fitty!" It said, "how about just two-fitty?" I said, "Oh, now it's only two-fitty!! What?! Is there a sale on Loch Ness munchies or something?!"
He's just really good at focusing on the absurd parts of his stories and holding details till it is right. Everytime some logic starts to form he brings in another detail. Like about how he slept in a bush. Why would he sleep in a bush it made no sense and the moment you are willing to accept that he goes well I was wearing a dress and it just immediately messes you up. Then you can finally accept he his sleeping in a bush with a dress on and he goes and I have the bag over my head and you just don't have the mental capacity to figure out the logic anymore.

20:30, the way James delivers the line "I was unaware you knew my father, Knotty", is like the masterclass of deadpan delivery. He doesnt sound quite dire enough to be depressed but serious and stern enough to take all the lightness out of a comment like that. Love that clip.
The lies were all so believable, but every single one of james seemingly bullshit story is actually true. Does this man live in the harry potter world or something?
You should hear him tell it on the radio with Josh Widdicombe as it all unfolded. There's a compilation here on CZcams. "how are you?" "furious. I've been cabbaged again"
Oh my god, the squirt story destroyed me, especially the bit about volunteer firemen not actually permitted to put out fires, hahaha. The cabbage story is brilliant too but I've seen it many times already
I know I'm replying to an old comment but it actually makes sense as the water while extinguishing the fire causes a lot of structural damage and volunteer firemen aren't covered by the fire stations insurance. At least that's how I've explained it to myself
@@simontay4851 Ive been a volunteer and its just that you need actual firemen before you can help putting out fires. Youre basically a fireman's orderly but you also do a lot of other stuff like first aid, helping clear out the perimeter of the fire, radio stuff, being in events and such, not just litter lol

Are you a gardener? If not would you be willing to become one? And if so would you be willing to consider changing your first name to Rose, Lily, Daisy or any other flower related name? The world needs more gardeners with flower names and I bet there's coin to be had!
James tells stories like a little kid... he throws completely random details in and doesn't understand why you think they're weird. It would be annoying with any other adult but w/ James, it's bloody perfect.
"he crosses every boundary available to him" haha that's such a good line. Not just any boundary, but any boundary available to him. As if this young man crosses boundaries not just because he doesn't care, but that the crossing of boundaries is the point itself.
So I lived in Basingstoke for nearly 15 years and he’s described the train station and the road and taxi point and where the bushes pretty accurately. And the Basingstoke ‘hoodlings’ are also accurate too 😂
Gabriel Just because he described the area doesn't necessarily mean he slept there, I could describe any random area that I've been to and say I slept there but it wouldn't mean it's true.
As a person from Kettering myself, I can confirm squirt is a real game (and a menace to public safety), the Kettering volunteer fire brigade is a real thing, and their emblem is really a fire being put out by a beer.
Especially love the image of James feuding with a kid, years his junior,and Mick just has the look of a cheeky little bloke-love the imagery of the games they have, at each others expense.!😂😏😕🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
I love how stumped David looks at 23:16 and the subsequent seconds, it’s a journey that ends with David giving up and sitting back in his chair silently accepting the madness. It takes him just about 1 minute for his brain to reboot and join in again.
my favorite thing about this is watching the other professional entertainers with decades under their belt just mesmerized by James's performance. The man has real talent
"That man, not only has not hit himself in the thumb with a sledgehammer but... I don't think he's picked up anything in *weeks*." The delivery is so goddamn good.
You are telling a ... truth. There are so many funny, funny people including the three regulars on WILTY. But at the end of the day, James and Bob are priceless. I'm tired of hearing about the British Empire, but these two are kings of comedy or comedic royalty, whichever way you prefer to crown them. Hail Britannia!
"It must've been a quick decision. You miss your train, and then you go 'Right! That's it! And immediately, fourteen seconds later you're in a bush sleeping."
I could not for the life of me decide if that kid had actually sent James cabbages or not. That seemed like exactly the kind of thing that would happen to him, but I also 100% believed he could instantly summon anger and hatred for a kid he’d never met before.
When I was a kid, I told my mum that I wanted a pet meerkat after seeing them at the zoo. She didn't think they were real and thought I had made them up.
18:30 -"Oh, you're not treading water during a family meeting"-Even seeing that coming,it still makes me laugh,he's so good at delivering comebacks.😂🇬🇧🏊🏊🏊👍💦💦
It's called Would I Lie To You, it's a famous show... There is only two constant players, Lee Mack and David Mitchell, the two in the middles. It's really funny.
James and Lee both processing the same joke at the same exact time at 26:39 is absolute gold! Even the smaller moments in this video crack me up every time 😂
Haley Cutler hahaha oddly no, my friends did when I showed them this but I’ve been steeping in British comedy for a long while. Eddie Izzard was one of my first live comedy events
@@MrMusicfiend3 They're called rubbers because you can rub things out with them. The name then got transferred to the material itself, and from there to things made from the material: firstly car tyres (you'll find "a set of rubbers" in Christie) and later to condoms. Isn't language wonderful?
The "gentrified" joke seems to be the most missed, best joke of the compilation.. big fan of james A, hope he comes to my neck of the world and can see him live "His granddad cabbaged me to my face"- anyone with a story like that is worth listening to
The Spice Girls debut album actually is pretty good. I remember me and a few other dudes getting drunk in a cabin in the middle of nowhere blasting that album the whole damn night (supposedly ironically after one of em decided to take it along. Said it was his kid sisters) ... before we passed out, Viva Forever was playing on loop and we sang along having the time of our lives. When I woke up the next morning, Viva Forever was still playing on loop. To this day, I still remember the lyrics. It was 20 years ago. (Also, holy crap it was 20 years ago... how did I get this old?!)

"I know his dad. He's his son." I think that James would stand up to interrogation very well.
" Oh im unaware you knew my father noddy " XD
LMFAO WHY WAS THE CABBAGE STORY REAL?!?!?!
When God created James he just thought: 'what if chaotic good was a person?'
"It must've been a quick decision. You miss your train, and then you go 'Right! That's it! And immediately, fourteen seconds later you're in a bush sleeping."
How was the kid able to stay that calm??! I literally fell off my bed from laughing too hard at James' comments
I knew James' story about Mick was true because that kid could NOT stop smiling at the thought of what he'd done 😅😂
Does james acaster ever actually tell lies? He just always sounds like he's telling outrageous lies.
I could not for the life of me decide if that kid had actually sent James cabbages or not. That seemed like exactly the kind of thing that would happen to him, but I also 100% believed he could instantly summon anger and hatred for a kid he’d never met before.
When I was a kid, I told my mum that I wanted a pet meerkat after seeing them at the zoo.
She didn't think they were real and thought I had made them up.
If you buy insurance from comparethemarket, you get a free meerkat toy.
LOL 😂 😂😂🤣🤣🤣
18:30 -"Oh, you're not treading water during a family meeting"-Even seeing that coming,it still makes me laugh,he's so good at delivering comebacks.😂🇬🇧🏊🏊🏊👍💦💦
I forgot rubbers are a different thing there...
What are they lol
@@nathanshlap In the UK, rubbers are erasers. In the US, they are condoms.
@@IVIasterIVIind Oh thanks
Joshua Sanchez I think that they are only rubbers in Australia
Rubbers are condoms in America every where else they are erasers
"It was a major as far as I'm concerned" lmfaoooo
I didn't know James before. this was recommended to me. i dont regret clicking at all.
Acaster is so weird. I love him.
"I know his dad. He's his son."
As an american i dont know who any of these people are but goddam this was one of the funniest 30 minutes of content i've ever seen
I fucking agree
English do situation comedy better than anyone.
It's called Would I Lie To You, it's a famous show...
There is only two constant players, Lee Mack and David Mitchell, the two in the middles.
It's really funny.
If there’s one thing we know from James on WILTY... it’s that if the story sounds normal, it’s false.
Can confirm, I live in Basingstoke and 7 minutes away from the Train Station I have seen said Bush XD
Grepid 5 or 10. 7 is ridiculous
@@jamestodd1104 What do you mean?
Grepid haha. Just saying round it
@@jamestodd1104 Eh I just remembered my last trip over there took about 7 minutes so I just put 7 down. I can round it to 5 if you like XD
Grepid great
The cabbage war is just hilarious! And when he had to go to the post office to pick up his own prank package--I lost it 😂😂😂😂
James and Lee both processing the same joke at the same exact time at 26:39 is absolute gold! Even the smaller moments in this video crack me up every time 😂
James would be a great lawyer 😂 "who were the hot chocolates for, Go wIThOuT ThInKing!"
I can't wait for the rest of North America to see how brilliant he is
Luc Way right? But for a second were you horrified about the "rubbers" story before remembering about erasers.
Haley Cutler hahaha oddly no, my friends did when I showed them this but I’ve been steeping in British comedy for a long while. Eddie Izzard was one of my first live comedy events
@@MrMusicfiend3 They're called rubbers because you can rub things out with them. The name then got transferred to the material itself, and from there to things made from the material: firstly car tyres (you'll find "a set of rubbers" in Christie) and later to condoms. Isn't language wonderful?
TRiG (Ireland) i know but in american it tends to mean condoms so it was hilarious for a bit
Why in the world am I slowly developing a crush on this man who looks like he haven’t eaten nor slept in weeks 😂
"6 months of not knowing where the next cabbage was gonna vome from."
Me, an ATLA fan: "MY CABBAGES!!"
The "gentrified" joke seems to be the most missed, best joke of the compilation.. big fan of james A, hope he comes to my neck of the world and can see him live
"His granddad cabbaged me to my face"- anyone with a story like that is worth listening to
James is damn good at this game. Hands down my favorite current comedian. Repertoire is an absolute masterpiece.
"Glad this didnt happen to melvin
Otherwise he would've been on the bench in a red dress and nothing else"
Epic!
Thank you for leaving in the true or false reveal.
Sometimes i feel like this guy is a genius! He basicly went to most variety shows and make crack of it
I love the fire fighters emblem with a beer putting out a fire. Classic.
There is absolutely no way that a bench is warmer than a bush, I hope we can all at least agree on that.
The Sledgehammer joke flying over David and Rob’s heads
The bags under his eyes are from the sleepless nights spent up having slashbacks from being cabbaged👌👌
I love that James says almost everything nonchalantly it’s like a normal conversation about being stuck in a bush lol
The Spice Girls debut album actually is pretty good. I remember me and a few other dudes getting drunk in a cabin in the middle of nowhere blasting that album the whole damn night (supposedly ironically after one of em decided to take it along. Said it was his kid sisters) ... before we passed out, Viva Forever was playing on loop and we sang along having the time of our lives.
When I woke up the next morning, Viva Forever was still playing on loop. To this day, I still remember the lyrics. It was 20 years ago.
(Also, holy crap it was 20 years ago... how did I get this old?!)
If there is one thing pop music of today has been good for, it is showing me retroactively how not terrible the pop music of 20 years ago was lol
Viva forever was in their second album. Nice try. You are obviously lying!
@@emmylou-ks1md Oh, it was? Huh, so it was. In all honesty, I don't know much about Spice Girls and thought it was the debut album :D
What a weird thing to be accused of lying.
Anyway, thanks for the correction!
@@TroublesomeOwl Haha that's actually a pretty fantastic point :D
james saying "no! don't applaud that, it's a good album!" re: the spice girls' debut album spice always brings me so much joy. he's right and he should say it!
