- All of James’ jokes from his appearance on the Blockbusters Christmas Special on December 5th 2019
Check out his standup-show(s), Repertoire, on Netflix, they're absolutely hilarious.
Blockbusters is a Comedy Central show, so all content belongs to them.

I thought this was going to be a 24 minute stand up routine of James Acaster talking about Blockbuster Video.
I thought it was going to be a routine about the show, the original Bob Holness version.
Maybe someday ... ❤️
Same
As did I... but yet I was not disappointed in the slightest, I want more of this
Don’t think they have blockbusters in Kettering
James not understanding the rules will always make me laugh
You6 yup
I can buzz in?
Oh this is a nightmare
Love how funny Jordan finds James
James seems funnier the more openly people find him funny and laugh at him. Its like half his jokes rely on a bit of awkward laughter for punctuation 😆
it's so cute!!!
AND vice versa! 😂😂
When he imitates james at 9:25
To be honest i'd be fan boying aswell!
James is the definition of 'good value'. Any show he's on, he makes better.
@Ethan Ansell haha I was gonna say: what about a show called "The No James' Hour"? Seems like improving that show would be hard work for him.
So we've got the James' hour, which is an hour of a panel where every panelist is James Acaster, as is everyone in the audience. Then we have the "No James' Hour" right after, which just has the one (cause its the "no JamesES" hour - you're allowed to have one).
Question is: which Jame is the unlucky one that has to do two shows back-to-back?
@@swine13 I definitely wants to see Audience James throw a heckle on Panelist James
@@swine13 adventure time reference a man of culture I see
he needs to get cast as the next doctor who
rordrawings then I would start watching it again.
You can tell Jordan is so happy to be next to James through all of this!
He should be. Scarlett is mental.
@@rikzz0r ikr, she probably believes that 5G caused Covid-19
@@theenigma2861 I mean she's still far smarter than she looks. She got a lot of questions right i'd never have thought she would.
@@Noobie2k7 To be fair, the questions were incredibly patronising.
@@Noobie2k7 Yeah, trust chubs to get burrito right
James was genuinely having fun to a point where he actually broke his “character” of James Acaster a couple of times. Really fun to watch lol
I saw it coming as soon as it became apparent what a nutcase Scarlett was. He's lucky he lasted as long as he did.
He almost let his true identity of Pat Springleaf be revealed
@Yonase Geleta YES HES SO CUTE
do you have a time stamp where he breaks character? 🥺
@@mirandachen8189 14:41
I have NEVER seen Acaster so weak as when she said "Adultery" LOL!!!!
Wait til you see the clip on 'ultimate worrier' when the ocean expert starts talking..
@@mikefry4567 I have to look for it now
@@hop-skip-ouch8798 enjoy!
😂😂😂😂😂
@@mikefry4567 Not available on CZcams. Only the chat leading up to the ocean expert is there.
I would like to concede my interview time to Scarlett
We were all hoping, James is amazing

@Zachary Peterson dude it's literally what acaster said in response to that Scarlett woman saying something unbelievably stupid
@@andreaszafiropoulos4667 call it a hunch, think some of what she was saying was a joke. Edit: mmm maybe a joke.
Jordan has the biggest mancrush on James
I'm right there with him!
*crush
It's more than just a mancrush
glad I'm not the only one who thought that! And as Trey Atkins said, could be more~
Don't we all
Are there men who don't?
people putting James compilations online during this bullshit are gods
Really went to the top shelf for that bit of praise, didn't you?
I almost don't want to give you that $100mil, now, cause you already used the good compliment on James Acaster compilations...
Thank god there are so many as it’s still going on!!!
Understatement
@@Kniv97 still happening mr kniv...
truly
you can tell James really thought it was 1 round because he shakes their hands after the first round lmao
Ya but Jordan initiated it
james and jordan work surprisingly well together, actually
Andreas Østergård Jordan was on off menu too !
@@freebeerishere I had no idea that was him, good shout.
14:41 The way Jordan screams 'NO', James breaks character and Dara breaks the fourth wall
Jame’s face is gold 😂
his laugh is so cuteee 🥺🥺
I had to replay it like 5 times. It cracked me up so much!
I prefer his "NO" at 11:20
I wil forever be a fan of james as he was a teaching assistant for children with special/complex educational needs befor becoming a comedian so i have loads of respect for the guy
Good on him, I bet he found it very inspiring~
@@JimmyLundberg Hi-five for a reference that seems entirely genuine and heartwarming if you don't know the context.
Your teacher i assume?
@@themadplotter It just means he's a dope guy.
@@themadplotter mate did you seriously compare a man who murdered a shit ton of people and many other nasty as shit to a dude who was teaching special needs kids and became a stand up comedian....what is the correlation here ? You really are mad
Hard to believe Scarlett knew the city that hosts the Nobel peace prizes, yet thought leprechauns were little rodents.
You shouldnt judge a fish by it's ability to climb a tree
And that the moon landing didn’t happen
And that the pyramids were built by aliens in the future, because of the speed of light, and we're going to need them at some point (the pyramids, not the aliens), so they were sent back...
Now, not to spend too much time deconstructing that, but if aliens in the future built them, wouldn't they know when we're going to need them (you know, with all that 'future knowledge'), and then send them back to the time of need, rather than thousands of years before that need? I think I may have found a small crack in her theory...
And that evolution isn't real
This is my only exposure to her, but I spent the whole vid unsure of whether she is actually that thick, or very good at playing thick for comic relief... "next you'll be telling me evolution is real" seems like the kind of thing you'd say if you knew full well that it was real, but want to make people laugh at your apparent ignorance...
James's reaction to "Fables" being the wrong answer is EXACTLY what happens in my head when someone answers a question wrong in class
So satisfying to have someone just yell it out--
"I WOULD HAVE GOTTEN IT WRONG!"
It wasn't Fairy Tales either.
That Jordan was either a huge fanboy of James or too good of a sport. He was genuinely pleased with James every time James got an answer right.
I’d watch an entire sitcom about these 3 and it’d work so well
you’re so right
I legitimately thought this was going to be a video of James Acaster talking about a defunct video store
Same
Same and I feel a bit betrayed
100%
So happy I’m not the only one... I wondered why he’d take nearly half an hour about it but 🤷♀️
Gotta ship the chemistry between James and Jordan
Adashelby nah he’s just finding James funny
@@dylxnhvh4266 I think they were talking about their comedic chemistry. LuL.
@@disneyrockz12 Explain 'ship' please
@@as3609 ship is short for relationship, as in the relationship between two or more people. It can be any kind of relationship; platonic, friendly or unfriendly, or romantic
James is literally one of the funniest people on the planet. And it is a natural funny. Nothing is forced with him. He is pure funny.
I will watch anything with him in it, since I know it'll be solid gold... :)
it's one of the most natural funnies I've ever seen in my life
I saw his story about appearing in the quiz show called " House of Games " and how everyone was such a prick to him there and how much it affected him. Watching him enjoy this show and genuinely have fun melts my heart. He is so damn precious we need to protect him at all costs.
Where did he say this?
@@francesca8880 i heard him talk about it on a podcast but he'd said he's mentioned it before. the other guests were apparently real dicks to him
@@francesca8880 on Richard Herring's podcast, sometime in 2020. it's on youtube
That's Richard Osman's show isn't it? I think I watched that and didn't get that... 😢
hard to believe but its totally possible
James should appear on every episode of this programme - especially if he can unlearn the rules between each filming.

It's not it's a theory....
Barrie Hellon-Warwick you must be a scientist..
@@dodibenabba1378 I love how the argument is always the semantics of the word theory. Yet people fail to understand the actual meaning of the word theory. Its not even an argument.
It doesnt just mean an idea or proposition
A scientific theory can be repeatedly tested and proven through various scientific methods , obvservational protocols, measurements etc.
It has to withhold an immense amount of scrutiny. Every established scientific theory has gone through years of academic dispute and counterarguments from sceptics from diverse fields of research.
Established theories such as evolution, heliocentism etc. wont fundamentally change anymore because they are proven to be right in so many cases.
Futhermore , science doesnt claim to be 100% factual thruth.
BUT It's the closest approximation to truth that mankind given its present knowledge and perception can achieve .
Does that mean somethings might be wrong and subject to change , yes! And it constantly does. scientific progress means to modify and improve theories through new experimental technologies and testing.
Does it mean the factual truth is something completely different. NO!
So it's not just a theory.
Its a well established scientific theory.
By trying to dismiss it like that youre ridiculing yourself and just proving your lack of understanding for scientific reasearch
@@dodibenabba1378 you're stupid.
MajorKing90 this was amazing to read 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
James usually maintains his character and composure, but the adultery answer had him in brittles
Hell yeah love me some Acaster in the evening.
You dont have a morning one? I started on morning doses... seems weird to have too much before bedtime.
I am not Sean Lock Your whole comment seems weird.
adulery is the best wrong answer ever, even James can't handle it.
1:37 the pause after she says that evolution could be real is what kills me like it took a second for everyone to process what she said
6:41 I love his reaction after he hit the buzzer the second time
His face straight up says "I didn't plan this"
21:24 "stop playing with the hexagons" quality group of players here
14:40 that honestly might be the hardest I've ever seen Acaster laugh and break character
thank you so much for these compilations. many of us live outside the uk and have no idea what shows he is on.
Trust me, no one in the UK has heard of blockbusters hahaha
@@patrickbenson3522 You need to be a certain age - when I was a youngster "Can I have a P please Bob" was such a catchphrase!
James is so quick. That Buzz Aldrin line haha
I love Jordan's arc here. Starting by getting annoyed at Scarlett's wrong answer when she said "Leprechaun" and when she chose E, then excitedly agreeing with her when she said "Fables" instead of "Fake", and finally getting annoyed at her when she said "Jelly" when the answer was in fact "Jelly".
Perfect parallel, perfect payoff, perfect pair.
It's like Jordan first had the working brain cell, then they both had half the working brain cell, and finally Scarlett had the working brain cell.
I love that his go-to is his hometown for his charity. Kettering surely has bestowed him with keys to the town and he’s surely got a seat on their board of tourism and city council in abstentia.
scarlett's theories are genuinely terrifying and i'm so befuddled about how she can genuinely believe them
the difficult thing to understand is why some cretin decided she would contribute to this or any other show.
It's the disinformation age. Anyone can read pure bullshit online and stupid people think it's real because they not only cannot tell the difference, but they also are so stupid that they doubt doctors, scientists, educated persons, because they don't like to believe that they're stupid. They want to believe they have extra special secret knowledge about the universe that the "so called experts" don't want you to know about, and that gives them an ego boost, and since they operate purely on whichever answer makes them feel the most emotions (thus, they believe stuff that boosts their ego or makes them very angry and scared) they just go with the strange provocative bullshit answer instead of the boring true answer.
frightening that people like this get any airtime rather than booed off the stage
My guess is that people like this believe whatever sounds most contrary because it makes them feel smart without putting in the effort to make well-researched, well-reasoned decisions―what actually being smart is about.
It might be funny if it weren't the exact mechanism that results in policy that kills thousands of people for preventable reasons.
You have to understand something: she's a moron.
He really came into his own when he realized he actually had to PRESS THE BUZZER
Albert Einstein (allegedly) wrote, “Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.”
No substantive evidence exists suggesting Einstein made this statement, though it (as O’Toole wrote on his website) has been attributed to him in at least one self-help book. In fact, the quote can be traced to a well-established allegory involving animals doing impossible things, used to illustrate the fallacy of judging someone by a skill or ability that person (or animal) does not possess.
@@lolamcgreed Where are you getting that information from? That's interesting, because literally pages in google all say Einstein said it.
@@MrDLCZcams www.history.com/news/here-are-6-things-albert-einstein-never-said
@L6915 that website is not Google.com, it is a different website called history.com
Please actually read the source you are provided before dismissing it out of hand
Peter Mills I’m really just hoping they misclicked and meant to reply to the other one.
I love that Jordan Banjo looks like he's a fan enjoying a standup show
I think James is perfect for that weird wholesome Christmassy charm, perfect guest for this show.
When he picked the “H” and they all ‘ooh’d you can tell he was about to say it was inevitable but he decided to keep with the fumbling, clueless character because it was funnier. That’s a professional, I couldn’t have resisted defending myself.
I absolutely love the fact that at 7:39, after James has jokingly answered “a little mouse”, you can hear Jordan explain to Scarlett what James said and then tell her “No, that’s not it, don’t worry” 😂😂😂
I have a heart condition and I feel like watching James Acaster videos is legitimately dangerous for me. How is this dude so consistently quick witted and hilarious
It took me until the final line of "This has been blockbusters" to realise that was the name of this show and not randomly talking about the video rental place. Don't know why.But, at least I knew who Ghandi was.
that was age confusion. I though Gandhi but he meant David Gandy
I didn’t know the other Ghandi and I’m ashamed to admit I also thought the implication was that Mahatma Ghandi’s name was David 😂
Who's "Ghandi"?
These three together were a gift that just kept on giving
I don’t know what it is about James Acaster, but he makes me laugh more than anyone else. He’s so chaotic, but in the best way. 🤣
love how much fun he's having!
I didn't know the greeks were a bunch of bees! hahahaha
Nice profile pic. Spotted it whilst drinking Baileys from a shoe.
james losing it when scarlett says 'adultery' is potentially the funniest thing on the planet
You don't get out much do you?
@@Trollololololful hyperbole flies over your head like all the birds you must see outside
damn I just witnessed a murder
"I know Buzz Aldrin is not an actor....." You are the MAN James
If your looking for more stuff to compile I would recommend the just pudding series (featuring Acaster) but it's up to you I just appreciate the work your doing
second this!! a just puddings complimation would b great
Love just puddings! Especially as a t1 diabetic I’m with Ed on the not injecting for puds
I love how James genuinely breaks at 14:43
I love how he shouts “No!” Almost every time she answers. Because she’s almost always wrong!!
Wewe Mcrhyne 11:22 is a personal favourite, he gets so annoyed his voice goes higher 😂
She was mostly right wasn't she?
Polite eay of saying she is dumb
She actually been more right than wrong
bit rough, she got heaps of questions right. she got shit on so much by everyone. she had a few silly moments, but they all did!!
Jordan is loving the show as much as everyone else, fantastic.
I didn’t know Greek’s were a bunch of bees 🐝 🤣 amazing!!!! I love him so much!!!! 12:50
This was more entertaining than I ever expected, what a great show
9:48 the disbelief on the guy's face is priceless, as she actually knows the correct answer :D
It's very rare I see James laughing...coz his an expert of dead pan humour, am so happy seeing him here laughing...ahahaha
I immediately need to know what The Wow Scenario sounded like
you can hear a bit in this czcams.com/video/JSk89UvycpM/video.html
and this czcams.com/video/Xldly1_jVUs/video.html
@Brandon Jones Is it a boulder...or is it a big rock?
Jordan, as a James fan, thoroughly enjoyed all of James' antics. 😆
Jordan and Scarlett were a lot more fun than I was expecting. It was so nice to watch them all have a good time
James William Acaster you bloody legend
24:10 James just keeps waving goodbye to the camera lol
puts his finger on the buzzer -- laughter -- immediately follows it up with the spirit level -- subtly amazing.
James and Jordan laughing at the D like little kids is ace 🤣
I discovered James Acaster as I was making my way through every season of Taskmaster and now I want to see everything he's in, he is so funny and just enhances anything he's on.
You - whoever you are - are a blessing. Thank you.
Plot twist: its actually James trying to drum up publicity.
18:36 can I have the "D" please Dara...lol...also love the fact that James signed off as being on the show called "bullseye" which was a very old tv show.
I love how James supports his hometown.
RIP to the one lady who didn't get a high-five.
Lady? There wasn't a lady on that show.
There were no ladies in that whole audience?! You're a weirdo my friend
Jordan's reactions to James are everything 😆
I watch this when I’m sad and it never fails to cheer me up :)
Anyone else get this in their in their recommendations and not knowing anything about this show and thought that it was going to be James ranting about the old video rental store?
James was especially handsome here, the hairstyle suited him so well and his cute laugh when he broke at the adultery answer had me positively melt 😭
Jordan's impression of James at 9:58 is spot on.
Big wheezing laughter at James hidden behind Dara and Scarlett starts to pose, but then Jordan, being the big guy not hidden behind anyone starts imitating him. Too pure
I love how after every correct answer james looks at the crowd like he just blew their minds just to see how shocked they all were even though the answer was "cramming"
When he pointed at the guy on the audience I lost it🤣thought he'd explain instead he pointed at a person lmao
HE DID A HEART! ♡
jordan and james are so funny together omg i love the off menu episode with jordan as well
Acaster is always awesome, but those three were even more fun to watch together.
"AAAHHHH I WAS GUNNA SAY FABLES" gets me every single time 🤣
This episode is amazingly hilarious and just so genuinely fun! Such a huge fan of James and the vibes he brings to any space or audience!
I havent seen a comedian add so much value to a show like this for a while, really fulfills his role :)
"I'm from Kettering and they call us legends." Acaster
I can’t thank you enough for more James acaster content!
I didn't know this show existed - found your compilation and I will now be looking for more of the show.
Actually amazing casting. James is just utter chaos, Scarlett's crazy, and Jordan's just stuck in the middle
Best episode of Bullseye ever.
This is my favourite James Acaster TV appearance. Seen this close to ten times I think, still a delight
Thank you so much for posting this!
I would watch 24 minutes just of Jordan reacting to James
"Good luck you guys suck it!" is what I want on my tombstone.
21:32
Me trying to catch my reflection lagging
I aspire to have the confidence that James possesses
all four of these people had great chemistry and together they made me laugh.
"Good luck you guys"
"Suck it"!! 🤣🤣
I'm in love with this show. I need more.
He is effortlessly funny it would appear.
