- All of James' jokes from when he went on Quite Interesting S13E15. The subject was Mixing and Matching
Check out James' standup-show(s), Repertoire, on Netflix, they're absolutely hilarious.
The intro animation was basically just following this guy's tutorial step-by-step: • Beginner's guide to bu...

If anyone feels offended or claim ownership to any of the sound or videoclips that I have used, leave a comment, and I'll take the video down. I do not mean to steal anything, and I firmly believe that all of my compilations would sooner convince someone to watch the real program than discourage them from it.
“What’s the worlds oldest complaint?”
James: “I’m dying.”
i would like your comment but it’s at 666 likes
I am not able to believe that a person could wait all his life before making a complaint. But then again, we didn't get that old back then.
Yeah...we watched the clip.
Lanceload don’t think that’s what was meant by that complaint- it doesn’t preclude having and saying other complaints, it’s just that that one’s the ‘oldest’...
@@khwarizmatic437 Wouldn't it be more like; 'Oh damnit stupid snake, why did you tell me to eat that apple?'
Also, kindof random perhaps, I don't know if that's your actual name.
But there's a book about a horse called Lucky Star and a girl, Eve or Eva and she wants that horse.
And then she gets one that she doesn't like, it's called Ali Khan.
Just a little warning, it's not a nice horse or a pretty horse. But it was a cool name.
Edit: I googled it, it's called "mijn droompaard" in Dutch. (My dreamhorse.) Written by Harriet Buchheit.
Could be that she is Dutch or German, not sure if the book exists in English.
I think I have watched everything on RUclips that James Acaster has appeared in...repeatedly. I can't stop. Not ashamed.
Have you seen the Sweet home Ketteringa' series? It's Great
@@annother3350 Yes! He is great!
Well you should be ashamed.
What kind of life are you leading
same...and imagine look at this from argentina...insane.
I have also landed here on the same endeavor
i didn't realize how many game shows british TV had until I started watching James Acaster
Edit- after 1 year of getting the same reply- I’m aware this isn’t “technically” a game show. Thanks.
Taylor yeah there’s tons of them cause they just make whatever they feel like
The comedy panel show is the British equivalent to America’s late night talk show. They’re everywhere.
Mildly educational comedy vehicles.
This isn't a game show...
Outside it is
"Thats beating an egg" "is it?. Its beating somthing" 😂😂😂😂
Something
You watched the video too?
I totally thought it was Phil Wang's most interesting noise
RUclips algorithms are getting better.
Google's algorithm has gotten better.
I just wanna watch videos about how Barack Obama shot JFK from an airplane and all I get in my recommended feed is James Acaster
SayNoobB4ULeave well you’re welcome
Worse :(
literally having a binge of everything james acaster has ever been in
Mia Grace couldn’t be more relatable
same
Have you seen Sweet Home Ketteringa? Or even better, series 2 Sweet Home Lahnsteineringa. That has the true magic of James
I know his first girlfriend if you’re interested?
Mia Grace - literally same
This Channel is doing the Lord's work of feeding me all the James Acaster content I crave
Same and it keeps me alive
My recommendations know me so well
Minh Vo same lol
Mine don't. Very nearly missed the Acaster plum in the huge pile of pointless youtube rubbish.
I don't really get why everyone finds James Acaster hilarious.
I mean, I find him hilarious myself but I don't know why.
I have this problem when I'm trying to recommend him to people and I try to tell them some of his jokes, which mostly just aren't funny, and yet I'm crying with laughter watching him.
It's his demeanor. He has a very subtle way of telling jokes and keeping the audience hooked.
Charm , like ability - ease of delivery. Who doesn’t feel comfortable watching a James Acaster bit
you had us in the first half, not gonna lie
Deadpan. It's a hard style of comedy but great when done well.
The theme tune goes perfectly to James Acaster’s general existence
There are very few stand-up comedians I can watch over and over. Acaster has made it to the top of my list. What a natural and effortless effort.
James is totally unique. There are many comedians who use deadpan delivery, but James' personality and visual presentation stands him apart from the crowd as it were. I'm totally in love with him and I'm male!
you could look into being a homosexual, thats allowed nowadays
@@borntobebroken Er, I am one, and I've been 'out' for all of my adult life. I'm now far from young, but being gay has never been a problem. (In my teens, I lacked sufficient self-confidence to be fully comfortable with what I was - but I never denied it.)
Bryan you are a legend
@@Steverett II know Steve, but I carry the mantle with discretion.
I love James Acaster, but there was very little of him actually doing his thing in this.
He was out of his depth here.
This game feels like jeopardy. No room for anything more then light hearted comedy one liners.
Punkrock david you clearly haven’t seen Phil Jupitus or David Mitchell on this show. Trust me they have their share of monologues
He wasn’t out of his depth. I just think this was a lil earlier on and he might not have quite gotten his stage chops
QI is better watched as full episodes. As much as I love James Acaster, this was just a bunch of short clips with no context, so not that funny
yes. more Acaster.
Oh Yeah yeah
Noah Marsh I see you comment everywhere
@@dylanbowen418 they reproduce with eachother
For those wondering: Van Gogh sold hundreds of paintings except none of them were his own. He worked in an art gallery.
This is such a wholesome line-up. Comforting, non-threatening comedy :')
Beating something.
Beating willy
Gilberto Almeida the white substance behind him too after he said it LMAO
If the you tube algorithm broke and only recommended James Acaster videos I would not be mad
i am in love with this guy
Stephen knowing who Lemmy was just absolutely made my day.
I'm ashamed. I knew he was from motorhead really but my first thought was that he's the Scottish comedian that sometimes appears on Charlie Brooker's shows.
That's our different views of Stephen Fry. He said it afterwards like he was desperate for people to know he knew it.
Unfortunately, there are actually people out there who don't know Lemmy, and has Patrik above has already said, it's likely a good chunk of the audience/viewers of comedy panel shows will be confusing him with Limmy, so I'd say Stephen Fry was just being a host at this point and adding clarity.
If he was really desperate, he'd have chucked a couple of facts in, but he just clarified and moved on.
@@RenegadeGaruda Yeah, I know a couple Motorhead songs but I'm not the biggest fan, and generally I only know the names of band members of my absolute favourite bands, or if the person themselves is super famous. So I'm not too disappointed with myself.
I liked how he knew the liquid metal terminator specifically came from Terminator 2
I swear nobody ever calls QI “quite interesting” I’d pretty much forgotten that’s the full title
Looking at James next to Bill is like seeing a man before and after fifty years of existence.
OMZ James' cute little hairstyle is back! Thank you! Love you James! ♥
4:49 After this question James should've said "this" and then press his button
James: if this were golf, I’d still be losing...
"what's numetal?" Oh Fry, you're adorable!
Gotta give him credit though. The man is old school, he had Lemmy down instantly. "Ah yes, Lemmy from Motörhead".
1:07 Bill Bailey's ability to make a funny and on-point musical joke with nothing around him but his buzzer tho
*Buys salmon*
*Realises late to work*
*Runs w/ salmon*
*Gets arrested*
If I watch these videos I start thinking in James voice
I don’t know anything about this show, but James getting -7 points sounds right
the point system usually goes like that; an episode i watched recently had someone getting -47 points. i think the highest number of points i’ve ever heard was 15
Wait
Does Qi stand for quite interesting?
Woah
yessir
Omg
Got to love the deadpan comedians. Not many have been as good as Jack Dee or Richard Adoyade, but Acaster is up there.
Acaster and ayoade had an awkward off on hypothetical
Okay but I love James and Alan Davies so this is like heaven
Because there are so many tribute videos to Sean Locke, a lot of his and James' work is coming to me back-to-back and I'm realising how similar James' style is to Sean's. Two very underrated comics, imo.
OMG ! I pissed myself laughing at the dog !😂
Yep. Totally in love with him.
Forgot he was on during Steve's final days, mustve been a long time ago now.
"Morris Dancing was invented in the 15th century..."
*Arnold Rimmer has entered the chat*
God dam I love those pechs
I hate that i laughed at that
He's genuinely one of my favourite comedians and I don't think he realises he's a comedian lmao.
5:51 amazingly, all of them wrong, with the first one coming closest xD
Bill: ‘You can’t eat them?’
Stephen: ‘Oh the Chinese do’
Me: 😐😐
james was pretty good, i wonder why he hasn't done more of this show
Finally an older-fashioned panel show that can still appreciate james. Watching him on Have I Got News For You was painful, not becuase he was bad but because nobody gave him a fucking word in.
I didn’t think this was clipped at first and thought I missed something, turns out I did.
God Stephen Fry and James Acaster are the perfect combination.
Hey mr. Crack, you are a golden god surpassed only by James Acaster himself. I an in love with you and your compilations.
1:50 it's the rich tea of tea spoons
This deserves more likes
No.
Too fragmented. I wanted to know the answers.
i’ve been watching qi for years… i’ve just learnt that it stands for quite interesting.
istg James life goal is to go on multiple game shows just into trouble and therefore get a warning / told off for saying something inappropriate
please keep these compilations coming haha
Is that where the phrase April showers bring May flowers comes from
Steven Fry’s voice is so relaxing
Never knew qi stood for quite interesting
I literally don't know why James Acaster is funny but hes so hilarious
I couldn't explain it to you hes just funny
i fucking adore james acaster
I can't get over the first 25 seconds
Just loved it😂
They would pick flowers.
UUUGGGHHH
😂😂😂
29.04.19 - Is Stephen back to making this program.
Sandi Toksvig hosts it now
his hair in this episode though
I want to hear the rest of the Timbuktu story?
Bill bailey and james my favourite comedian's
2:10 thanks to Civ 6 I now know the answer to this question (or at least, who the richest man ever was).
It's a shame his leader ability doesn't involve causing crippling economic problems in other civs by giving away so much gold
@@maxsmith8064 That'd be pretty hard to implement, since gold has an intrinsic value in Civ VI - units have a set amount of gold cost (some of the costs change depending on e.g. how many settlers you've bought previously raises the price of a settler, but none depend on the total amount of gold in your treasury). It'd be cool to see inflation added in somehow, though.
Beating summit 😂😂
Luna Margo d
But how many paintings free Van Gogh sell? Now I want to know
0
One of his own, but the answer was a solid 700 because he was an art dealer :)
Today i learned qi meant quite interesting
Stephen: "I want your testicle story."
I bet that's how he met his husband
Was he only once on the show?
4:11 This guy just talked in Text to speech voice.
How many game shows do British people have christ.
I love James acaster, just y'all have him in another game show every week 😂
Gallium does not melt in water it melts at 29.7°C.
You can melt it by holding it in your hand
I imagine the oldest complaint is Grulas man brings home twice as much meat daily as you and still takes out the trash without her telling him to.
Why would that be a complaint?
You're saying a man brings home twice the meat ánd takes the trash out?
That's a complaint? Were you trying to say something there dear, were *you* trying to complain about something?
Why did she say she left you?
@@Widdekuu91 Read it again in the voice of your woman saying that TO YOU about some woman named Grula.
@@ModeratelyAmused Ahhh..maybe next time you should use punctuation-marks and such. After is, you could've written;
And then "Grulas man" like that.
Also, you assumed I had a woman, which is very polite of you, but I am very single.
Not to mention, I *am* a woman.
how does a balloon contain metal?
Isn't gallium poisunous?
"You cant eat them"
"The chinese do"
*Coronavirus appears*
"It was rap and metal mixed together, it went very badly"
Linkin Park anyone?
Took me a while to get used to him, but after appearing on Taskmaster he's really begun to Shine. 😁
This is the most frustrating video I've ever seen 😂
he soooooooooooo cute!
Love Acaster
QI is like asmr
Acaster dissing Nu Metal 😂
There was superb, horrendous, and everything in between, just like every other genre.
Bill and James are a decent pair
The UK have so much game shows, because in the UK, they can make gameshows where its the same guests/comedians every show, and they dont play for any money. In America, most people dont understand the concept of playing a gameshow without a money prize. The show that confuses most Americans is Bake Off. Its an 8 week show, and most Americans are baffled that at the end, they win nothing.
That show is very popular here and nobody is confused by it.
@@katiekawaii Well yeah. If you read my comment, and not just what you wanted to read, i explained that Americans are confused by it because in American Gameshows, winners always get a cash prize.
British people arent confused by these kind of shows because almost all of their gameshows have no prize, so they are already familiar with the no-prize concept.
How many times does Dara say … “ eeehhhh” after every potential humorous sentence. On everything he’s on ?? If u didn’t notice it before ,, u will now .

So how many paintings did Van Gogh sell in Brixton...the 'good' years? The uploader edited that bit out .. I was of the understanding he never sold one painting in his whole career?...
If I remember correctly the QI twist was that he sold a lot of paintings (the specific number unknown), but none of them were his own; he worked at a gallery
You cut out Alan's brilliant joke about Morris Dancing, the collective term being a "bell end"
I miss QI
Bloody hell Luna aint here
I'm only here to say you look like a young Conan O'Brien in the thumbnail
aww qi was so much nicer with stephen fry i hope he considers returning to it
I cant be the only one who thinks james is fit
Dude James is so effing hot
@@asheryusto8902 Glad its not just me! I think hes so sexy I love his curly hair and he doesnt realize how cute he is
Classic Acaster
Well that was 6m53 of my life I won't get back !
@Dire Miralis I'm gobsmacked.......totally upset that you don't believe in our lord and saviour, the one redeemer. Who promises us many wonderful things to come.
