"I don't think he's picked up anything in weeks"
kills me every time

[@GodotOfficial]

That Peter Gabriel quip from James Acaster was Lee Mack-esque

[@beatleshomie6954]

No

[@necymamaril3735]

There are other quick witted British comedians and James Acaster is one of them. Another is Michael McIntyre and he is the highest paid comedian in the UK ( google). Sean Lock was more brilliant (IMO)!

[@ReadyMindsetGo]

It wasn't Lee Mack quick, but it was great

[@user-by1rm9ue2i]

​@necymamaril3735 to compare Michael McIntyre to Lee Mack in terms off of the cuff quips is absolutely bizarre. He's a routine man, and a routine man only.

[@leaffinite2001]

​@user-by1rm9ue2i they appear to be using "quick witted" purely as a superlative, like "great" or "amazing."

[@josemaria8177]

David has never picked up anything in his life. Not even the smash hit 1986 album So by Peter Gabriel, which contains the hit single Sledgehammer

[@bennylloyd-willner9667]

Not picked up a sledgehammer for smashing nuts, but he has picked up a pretty astonishing wife 😊

[@teriannebeauchamp254]

Thank you for the explanation. I had no reference

[@leaffinite2001]

Thats honestly a very reasonable amount of timefor his thumb to completely heal. I once mashed my thumb in some crates so bad i swore up and down it was broken, but it wasnt. There were splotches of red (presumably blood) under the nail for a week and it hurt like hell for several days but nothkng was broken and a month later you couldnt tell it had happened

[@weekenderTone]

I'm willing to bet my house that David has never seen the inside of an A&E department... I'd have to own a house, but you know what I mean.

[@Pebble_Collector]

Alright, fuck it, a grand?

[@junbh2]

Why would you think that?

[@TheTruthKiwi]

I like James. He's quiet and unassuming but when he does say something it's absolutely hilarious. Too many kids these days do far more talking than thinking

[@WEC8198]

True - but I wouldn’t limit that point to just “kids” … it’s everyone!

[@wheedler]

@@WEC8198 I wouldn't limit it to these days, either.

[@StarmanStarman]

David appears to have combined both British and American pronunciation of Garage.

[@fenhen]

There’s more than one British way to pronounce it.

[@BenjaminGoose]

Well oh ladida Mr Frenchman

[@Descriptor413]

You mean a car hole?
