It's weird...here's James in a party gator costume relating life experiences the same way my father did after his 2nd scotch lol.

I think what I like about James... Never a boring answer to a boring question. The host asks about baking, everyone says "I am bad at baking" but James tells a story about flapjacks.

“Did you like being on bake-off?” I was one of the worst experiences of his life mister!

“Nope. Day one I was funny.” I acknowledge your attempt to cue up the pre-arranged anecdote and I reject it! Oh, ok then... But here’s a better one that your researcher doesn’t know about. Acaster always subverting the false tv format. I love it.

The way he looks at the crowd when they laugh at him wearin the Gator. Legend.

Johnathan: Did you like Bake Off? *Enter stage right:* *PTSD.*

2013 James Acaster: never bothers with Halloween costumes, would rather walk out of a Halloween party than wear the wolf onesie and crown that the host supplies for him 2021 James Acaster: wears a full mascot costume of an alligator wearing a hat on national television I love this man's character arc.

A person he had never met before badgered him at the door and chose out the wolf king costume saying "That's what losers wear", after which James turned away and fed an animal with a lady in the nearby area.

OMG!!!! I can't believe they threw it away! I've listened to your book a handful of times so even I feel an attachment to your party Gator now. 😂🤣 My sincerest condolences!!! 😭

Are you being sarcastic ? I mean of course he did his research.... This is what Chat show hosts do. They ask a very particular lazy question that functions as a segue to the comedians routine and it's all been discussed beforehand to make sure the show is okay with the bit. James actual gives us a inside to that process at 3:40

the true party gator was the man he became along the way

his transitions are so smooth

Got an ad for Gatorade while watching this. GATORade.

One of my favourite bits

Despite the outfit? Wtf? Best line ever

More James. We need more James, James.

"did you like being on bake off?" Bruh 😬

oh noooo the original party gator met the same fate as the giant W's 😂

Maybe he could use that as his outfit for The Masked Singer or The Masked Dancer.

Great video! Thank you.

Did you enjoy bake off? "Started a meme"

Hilarious as always

James looks so, either sweaty and exhauseted from being in that gator for [?] hours, or exhausted in general from life stuff or bad night sleep. Hope he feels better soon :)

I lost it on 2:10 💀💀

This is his final form 🐊

how have i not seen this sooner

5:06 What a climax!!!

Now the Party Gator is making music

Any time I see a bush by a train station I think of James. I'm not sure if that reflects worse on me or him but there we go.
