"James, what will be your specialist subject?" James, eating a slightly out of date ice cream: "Idk, the history of ice cream?"

shut up creamy boy

And yet still got 4 right. The man’s a genius

It is the key to his heart

He knew about Mr Icecream

That was hilarious

The answer being "hokie pokie" is equally outlandish, I could picture him flippantly saying that instead in the same way.

Exactly what I thought!

My God you're right.

That would have been so good!

The excuse they gave Richard Herring for why he couldn't have the penis as his specialist subject was because he'd written a book on it iirc, so maybe they wouldn't have let James do 2016 music??

I'm fully expecting someone to bring this up in an interview and James to freak out because he can't believe he didn't choose it

Lmao I know right what a rebellious guy!

Also possibly thinks it best to deliberately handicap himself after the whole House of Games debacle.

Didn't someone get ZERO in their specialist subject recently, or was that even on regular MM?

He TRULY loves desserts though, soooo much.. So doesn't suprise me, but still, who on earth would know or need that kind of trivial knowledge haha 😂.. He's brilliant mun

@@pixelfrenzy a guy from the traitors got zero, but he pickled cephalopods for some reason. In the same episode, a girl picked Disney princesses (an easier category in my opinion) and still only got one

That doesn't fit the definition of a genius, but I will accept your answer.

@@NikBlackwell Your apprehension of genius is abysmal.

@@itsaninsidething Your clumsy use of polysyllabic words which you don't quite understand is abysmal and doesn't make you look as smart as was intended. Also, your sense of humour could probably do with a service, as it's looking a bit ropey. I suggest you crack open one of those scary wordy books of words about words, commonly known as dictionaries, to avoid all this embarrassment in future.

And his appreciation of Hokey Pokey as the real answer.

Cracked me up also!! I'm surprised it's not one of his old band names, like the caprisun quartets haha 😂

He told them if he didn’t get a Spice Girls question that he’d drowned himself.

He was one of them

He Really Really Wanted that question.

@@LPKelly380 Stop right now

@@muga9506 Thank you very much

a man of the people

@@pauladamsfinewines8379 No but he still came in third place beating Charlotte Worthington that's who I was refering to.

I don't know, he seemed pretty confident about Scary Spice

Isn't that what the great Ron Swanson suggests ??

@@redopz4462 well we all know he was prepared to drown himself for the Spice Girls

Including his name

Created a new heckle got him.

Asked to name a government department, he says the Conservatives

But hey, he correctly guessed a US President based on the decade of his death 200 years ago

@@FredreegzYear, and only three presidents had died at that point (then again, even Americans seem to struggle with placing presidents)

I'm from the us and we don't have Philadelphia ice cream. Never heard that and I'm from the north east

It's so satisfying when American trivia isn't prioritized.

😂😂😂

He'd have had to drown himself if he got it wrong

Either I’m going to get this spice girls question right, or I’m going to die

@@lexigold8448 that's the best inside joke I've ever seen

@@meiji_tom Which happened?

I'm surprised he knew because he doesn't have the Spice Girls debut album "Spice".

The dejected clarification at the end, "I don't think...Conservatives are a department, by the way" got me

Those are all pre approved questions for any Joe Biden interviews!

What is your IQ?

that's numberwang!

@@mrfocigaz4942 I haven't had an iq test in about 20 years but back then it was 130

@@antygod Oh, it wasn't a serious question, it was my crappy joke. I wanted you to say five!! 😼

@@mrfocigaz4942 it hadn't occurred to me that it was a possible question where the answer was five as IQ scores don't really go lower than 70 and that is considered considerably impaired. an IQ of five would basically be dribbling and barely able to move. i just thought it was a weird question ;p

No lol he loves ice cream

Surely not

If WILTY have their facts straight, he used to be an ice cream vendor.

I wonder how long it took the producers to find an expert on the history of ice cream to set the questions!

Nice Benigni reference

At least we can assume Vermont was at least a slightly educated guess, since that's where Ben & Jerry's is from? Some people in the US forget VT's a state, too :/ Doesn't excuse the state of Chicago, though.

You can see how he got there though, it's a musical and he couldn't think of another with the time pressure. Funny though

@@tomtom21194 And in this game, you benefit from hazarding a guess rather than passing.

You could really see he was annoyed with himself on that one.

all I know about them is one of them has FINISH HIM

Wait… is that, like… all mushed together? Or is it like, you eat a tub of yogurt, and then you eat some sausage on nachos? Coz if it’s all together that sounds insane

Easier than what the dish ran away with?

I’d say 15 minutes max tbh

@@Sam-yy6yw by minutes you of course mean "seconds"

@@matthewday5213 and by seconds you of course mean "Milliseconds"

@@MikeMJPMUNCH and by milliseconds you of course mean "nanoseconds"

Because then he would have done well. I don't think that was the point.

How bizarre. I'm rarely on screen these days. ;)

Always four contestants, with two rounds. As you can see from the scores it is possible to have up to 10 questions per round ( if you are quick to answer!). First round is your specialised subject, 2nd round General Knowledge.

To be fair you should of heard of Michelle Gayle then!

I think they aren’t allowed to pick a subject they’ve written a book about
