Let me guess.. Degengermight - you're young.. male.. immature - you think his behaviour is 'hilarious' right? It is not. he comes off as a rude, arrogant... young...male immature little shit - maybe one day you'll grow up and understand what dignity really looks like and it goes not look anything like this - (yeah maybe I shouldn't have dignified your comment with a response - maybe - but then how will you (and yes all these others) that think this behaviour is ok - learn this is actially just plain *RUDE* unacceptable and immature behaviour)

Wish they added the part where Alex says "why do you never say hi to me?"

Replace every “Hi James” with “Are you going to resign, Prime Minister?” Same energy.

Missed opportunity: James said he doesn’t say hi because it’s not in the task. They could have snuck in a task that says “Say Hi to Alex. Your Time Starts Now.” The other 4 would have negative time (at least with the precedent set by previous episodes) and tie for first while James would have been immediately stuck in last.

I honestly think that after finding out that James never answers the "Hi", I would have been the petty one making a task saying "Greet Alex Horne. Fastest wins. The time started when you entered the room" and then having James horribly fail that task, because at the time of opening the task, everyone else will already have completed it.

So why doesn't he?

"The task isn't be nice to Alex." At some point they should give just one contestant a task that says "Be as nice to Alex as possible. You have 8 weeks." And not tell anyone else.

1:32 I love how James deliberately is waiting to say `` a bunch of eggs`` as soon as Alex opens his mouth.

"It's not in the task, is it?"

James had 2 gags for intros that I loved. One was this and the other was bursting through the lab curtain/hurling the cottage door open.

I thought it was one of the tasks that they only gave to one contestant, and it was going to be revealed in the last episode. Alas, not.

James Acaster is one in a million.

Please bring back James to the show. He is GREAT!!!!

I love that every time you can see him fighting the urge to reply

They could have included when Alex asks why he never says hi mid-task and James shrugs and Alex says "It would be nice" missed opportunity 😂

he's not ignoring alex. that's just his way of saying hi - with his eyes. and contempt.

This is something I didn't know I needed to see

I have been waiting for this compilation since this series first aired

and next, all the times James has ignored Alex on camera since, including all the voicemails Alex has left him going "WHY DON'T YOU LIKE ME?"

They should've included the clip of Greg asking James why he doesn't greet Alex

The looking in acknowledgement, the Kramer entrances, the rants. This man is a gift

One of my favorite running gags on the show x)

I just LOVE James' cute, moody-ass behaviour! He's soo freaking adorable somehow...

I just noticed he gives Alex the slightest gesture of thumbs up at 0:45

Holy ish by the end of it he's spread it like a disease XDDD Rhod started off confused, as if offended on Alex's behalf. "Do you not say hello, James...?" Two team tasks later and none of them responded to Alex XDDDDDDDDD

ah yes the compilation i've been waiting for

Like an annoyed teenager when the parents ask "How was your day?"

The way he goes through doors or entrances 😂

An official compilation!

This is just wonderful

I need a video of just James Acaster not saying Hi and Nish always getting "what do you mean?" every time he greets Alex.

We asked and they delivered!

The dedication

I bet the show probably has a bunch of re-takes and b-roll footage of things like entrances and exits. Every time James glares at Alex, I imagine him thinking, “Why are you saying hello to me? We’ve been filming together for 45 minutes already. I will not lie to our audience!”

this is called FANSERVICE. thank you Taskmaster!

wish they'd included a screenshot of when James' tweeted "Bye Alex" after the last episode of the show

You have no idea how long I’ve asked for this

I love that this is a video haha

Best threshold entrance since Kramer. That side eye is the stuff of legend.

I also love how he always smashes the door open ^^

now we need a supercut of the nicknames from last series!

0:54 how he wacks that door open and strides out in a terrible manner, and that glances like "piss off Alex" when he talks to him is so gold

The supercut we deserve
