Love it when James is "on" during interviews and it throws the interviewers off; guess they expected him not to use his comedy persona on BBC Breakfast...guess again!

He's too good for BBC Breakfast.

How to make a point about our culture without making it direct and boring. Top job.

I got recommended an article about how painfully awkward this interview was and people hating on James but Jesus christ those interviewers were useless, giving James nothing to work with even though the whole book is clearly a joke

How people don't realise this is all in jest and just James' humor I don't know! He's hilarious and he makes some very good points. I reckon anyone who got offended by this might have had their egos bruised as they are the people that do the things he is joking about! 🤣🤣

James is the epitome of dry, awkward comedy. He does it so well. People, on the other hand are as dumb as a bag of soup.

Comedian makes joke about how weird it would be if we did things in real life that we do online, the world loses it's mind. I feel like it must just be people still upset about his Ricky Gervais joke looking for excuses to be mad.

My son was telling me today about James coming to his school for a workshop sort of thing for the older students ( we live in his home town) I like Jim he gives back to this community. My son thought he was pretty ace too

Anyone who was outraged by this clearly doesn’t like James’ humour/haven’t seen his material before

Love James Acaster. Clearly not everyone appreciates his absurd observations.

The interviewers took everything too seriously lol

they clearly didn’t understand his cold turkey joke lol. i laughed so hard 🦃🥶❄️

Anyone calling this awkward is painfully unfunny.

loved the post turkey silence

My god people have actually gone crazy over this?! Celebrity is a generic word it's not like he was joking about a particular person. The world's gone fucking mad!!

This is amazing. James is funny as fuck.

I knew when I read a headline "viewers disgusted by comedian".... I'd fucking love it! Some people are just pathetic gimps who get offended by anything and everyone, also lacking enough intelligence to pick up on the tone and style of comedian they are witnessing!

He's wonderful.

Love him!!

Quiet right doing that. In your life you don't need validation from strangers on Facebook and Twitter etc. You can have a better life

James is brilliant. Smart and funny lad.

The only painful thing about this is the presenters. Why are people so bothered by this 🤣

This is so funny idk what people are on about

That newsreader saying he doesn't think he can live without social media, ffs, what age is he? 5? And these are the types of people bringing us the news 🤣 Edit - probably seems ridiculous to me as I don't have any social media 🤭 'Did you go cold turkey?' This newsreader has got SERIOUS addiction problems with social media if he thinks it's that hard to chuck he's comparing it to hard drugs, ffs, he's old enough to have grown up without this shit, why is everyone SO dependent on having their views heard? Or just validating others ideas? Go live your own life, get out of the house dammit, and meet and interact with REAL people! 😂

I’m just buzzing Rhyl got a mention

Bakecaster - now, that’s one of the early Fender guitars right ?

The presenters made this cold and dead james seems fine read a whole lotta rubbish about it all earlier today much ado about nowt

I don't understand why people went nuts over this. It wasn't his best, these ZOOM calls are never great. Nothing to loose your mind over.

"Could I live without social media? I'm not sure I could." I remember similar bozos talking about how their life was contained in a filofax. No wonder the planet's squaring up for a catastrophe!!!

Oh noooo! What am I going to do!

god he's a genius

I've quit SM, I argue with people on here now.

I became Jame

I'm pretty sure it is double "t" in "quitting", mate. Can't be arsed to Google it though.

Death Becomes Breakfast

This is just his persona if you don't know this then fair enough you might think it was a weird interview but... I don't get what all the commotion is about ? Lol

Did they say james bakecaster?

All I see is people saying it's nuts the people are going nuts over this... but what are they going nuts over?

He's just a very dry comedian who uses awkward comedy... If people don't know who he is then they might not get it.

lol the problem with this was that the interviewers kept trying to seriously ask him about what he does and how he went about quitting, and never got that it’s all not serious - even when he broke character to tell them so lmao. how can you interview a comedian and take everything seriously?

Acaster positioning himself to take over as UK PM like Zelensky

There's only one intelligent person in the room and it's not even close

I just read the article after seeing these comments. People are really stupid. It's obviously a fictional book, and James is partly playing the character in these interviews. Shocking that people can't figure that out when it's so obvious.

He's about as funny as James Acaster

I stopped using social media years ago, anybody still on it is a.....

The presenters are so square lol why so rigid and boring

who is he ?

He's a scream!

promosm

Why are people in the comments acting as if he is gods gift to mankind?

Woker won’t be missed

Blah blah blah.😴😴😴

Was an Acaster fan but not so much now.

I love James Acaster’s stand up, but in interviews he’s insufferable. Grow up man!

Dry paint watching Wish he'd write a book about giving up comedy as if he ever started 😂😂😂😂😂
