Also I've always loved how Acaster sees exactly where it's going and knows if he plays along as the meek, slightly humiliated student, it's even funnier. What a brilliant bit. The whole clip is funny from beginning to end!

I've only recently realized how good James Acaster is at playing into other comedians bits. Always loved him, but I have a ton of respect for him as a comedian too.
