00:00...find out who James Acaster's mystery opponent is.
00:03Uh-oh, it's Ed The Gambler Gamble here,
00:05and I'm far too busy to get my hands dirty
00:07giving Acaster a pasting, so I've got someone to do it for me.
00:10I met them on a certain show that rhymes with...
00:13...celebrity traitors.
00:17Oi.
00:18That's right, it's rugby legend Brick Shithouse,
00:20and my new friend, Joe Marla.
00:23You say friend, I'm getting paid, aren't I?
00:26Yeah, for sure, just get out there and...
00:29Don't speak to the press. Bye, Mum, love you.
00:31Ah, ah, ah, ah, no.
00:32So, James said he challenged somebody from the world of comedy or wrestling.
00:36This is clearly a very beautiful rugby player.
00:38Former.
00:39This is clearly a very beautiful former rugby player.
00:42Well, that's where you're wrong, Joe Lycett,
00:43because he is a comedian. I've been training him up.
00:46Yeah. Knock, knock. Who's there?
00:49Me, Joe Marla, and I'm going to knock Acaster's head off.
00:54Definitely.
00:55So, without any further ado, entering the ring,
01:02representing Gamblers Anonymous,
01:05it's Joe, the Scrum Lord, Marla.
01:10My God, he looks like Mumford & Sons and Mumford & Sons Security.
01:14And it looks like he's ate them all.
01:15And Mumford & Sons Dax.
01:17All in one, we can.
01:19Here we go.
01:2095 cats for England, none of them fell in his head.
01:23It's Joe Marla.
01:25Wowie. What's up, brother?
01:27Thank you, sir. That's good.
01:29Please be gentle with young James.
01:31Hey, Joe.
01:33Is he a baddie? He is a baddie, isn't he?
01:35Because he's in the Gamblers.
01:37I think we're morality neutral at this point.
01:38Are we?
01:39People are neither good nor bad.
01:40Hello, Joe.
01:41Wow.
01:42Wow, look at this.
01:43Great reaction for him, gotta say.
01:46Absolutely huge reaction.
01:47Joe, how are you feeling about taking an A-caster?
01:50Where is he?
01:52Stay on your feet, people of the Apollo,
01:54and welcome to the stage his opponent, James A. Castor!
02:02Here he comes, swaggering out.
02:05He's wrestled five times and been KO'd every single time.
02:20He hasn't blinked in 11 years.
02:26He leans back onto the legs of a chair when he sits.
02:29He's invincible!
02:31A like an aeroplane across the sky.
02:34C like a catapult across the sky.
02:37A like an acrobat across the sky.
02:39S like a spaceship across the sky.
02:42T pterodactyl across the sky.
02:44E like an EMU across the sky.
02:47A like a rainbow across the sky.
02:49Jimmy Castor, flying so high.
02:52He rides on the others every day.
02:55It's invincible!
02:57He builds IKEA furniture without instructions perfectly.
03:00It's invincible!
03:02He uses the same horsepower every day.
03:06It's invincible!
03:07He answers close before the burners even round.
03:11It's invincible!
03:12He's never gonna drop from the top spot.
03:15If you think you can stop him, you are not clever.
03:18He's gonna fly to the sky tonight and stay there every day tonight forever.
03:23He's conscious of his ability.
03:25He's conscious of his supremacy.
03:28He's conscious of his vulnerability.
03:30I'm conscious!
03:33A, because he's always alert.
03:36C, consistently alert.
03:38A, alert to his surroundings.
03:41S, social, social alert.
03:44D, but you're gonna break your legs.
03:46E, everybody now has to watch his aerial group.
03:50R, routine.
03:54He casts the backflip.
03:56Oh, straddling the world into a Russian club.
04:00Is he good?
04:00Is he okay?
04:02Crossback settling.
04:02Is he unconscious?
04:03Look dead.
04:04Is he dead?
04:05Double, double me hang.
04:07I've seen unconscious people.
04:08He looks dead.
04:10Deepky Hammock.
04:12And he lands in the ring.
04:14I've not.
04:16He seems to be absolutely unconscious.
04:18That was a real shock to the system, in spite of the fact that it's happened again.
04:26Like a Stuart Lee joke, no matter how many times you repeat it, it's still funny.
04:33There's the dancers.
04:34Scurry out.
04:34There's the pin.
04:35There's the three counts.
04:36And Marla takes the win.
04:40Acaster knocks out yet again.
04:42Give it up for your winner, I suppose.
04:44It's Joe the Scrum Lord Marla.
04:48And Acaster's taken one to the top.
04:50Interesting to know that the foot was on the road.
04:53The foot was on the road.
04:54He was on the road.
04:55What does that mean?
04:57He was in the air originally.
04:59Oh my goodness, Marla's down.
05:00The referee is running away like a coward from Joe Marla, and I don't blame him.
05:07This is the angriest man I've ever seen win overalls.
05:09It's Monday.
05:10Matt Crosby has come out.
05:11Dragging him off.
05:12He's going to try and drag James off.
05:13What a sad day.
05:14This is a dark day.
05:16Acaster has not been marked like this since the fifth comedy award nomination.
05:21And Marla left on his own.
05:27So it's all going so well for James Acaster in the intro section.
05:31The tray comes out of nowhere, straight to the face, and Acaster is down and then hoisted.
05:36It's the oldest saying in the book, never trust a man wearing overalls,
05:39because he could be hiding a concealed pan.
05:41Why does he have a baby?
05:43I don't want any joke.
05:44Could you take us through what's just happened?
05:45A lot of people in this room have quite a sort of dangerous parasocial investment in James Acaster.
05:53You've just made a lot of very vulnerable enemies.
05:55I understand.
05:59I mean, he is a pleasant fellow, but he got what was coming to him, all right?
06:03CHEERING AND CHEERING
06:05OK.
06:06And, you know, pleasant as he is, he actually is quite mean to a lot of fellow comics on his podcast.
06:11So, I don't know if we're enjoying that a lot in the wings, to be fair.
06:15Yeah.
06:16Love him or loathe him, make some noise for Joe the Scramble on Marley, everyone!
06:21CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
06:28Craig, Nish, Sarah, how did you feel about what we've just seen?
06:32Well, after his Bake Off appearance, that's the second worst thing that's happened to Acaster with a baking tray.
06:38Started it, got hit in the face, bon appétit.
06:41CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
06:43The next four specials are going to be sad.
06:51Mark, do you want to take me through what you've just seen?
06:53He took my tray without permission.
06:57He's a bully, he's a bully, he's not a fighter.
07:00I think with the best win in the world, Mark, Joe the Scrum Lord Marley doesn't give a shit about your tray.
07:07Craig, Sarah...
07:09Where did the baking tray come from? Was it yours, Mark?
07:11Yeah, he took my tray without...
07:13Why did you bring it in? Why did you bring it in?
07:14Why did you bring it in? Why did you bring it in? We've given you a bell.
07:18I'm like, Mark, boo!
07:20Mark... I will say, if you have any further objections, we'd love to hear them,
07:23but we'd love you to speak them into a microphone for me.
07:25LAUGHTER
07:28Oh, God.
07:30I thought, when I took this position, I thought it's a serious position.
07:34I will do the timekeeping.
07:36But it's just a ceremonial position.
07:38LAUGHTER
07:39I don't think he's got a watch on.
07:43To be fair, when I took this position, I was having a late lunch with my parents,
07:49and I was told that Adam Hills was shitting out of his arse.
07:51LAUGHTER
07:54It's all done, Jimmy. You're going to be OK.
07:55My foot was on the road, Matthew.
07:57Yeah, I know it was.
07:57My foot was on the road!
07:59I'm going to save your energy!
08:00Save your energy!
08:01Save your energy!
08:02I thought, to be honest, it'd have put up a bit more of a fight.
08:06And it should have lasted a bit longer. I was enjoying myself too much.
08:09I'll take the win. All day. Till the rematch, I'm sure he'll want a rematch.
08:23And I'll take him on then.
08:25And now, without any further ado, it's time for our third match of the evening.
08:32I, Joe Lyseth, a.k.a. The C.E. Joe, cannot be here in person,
08:39as I am currently being majored up for a suit of armour.
08:45There shall be a spectacular tag team tornado.
08:49Nine different teams doing better for my amusement and possibly arousal.
08:55Joe Lyseth wants hot bods, so hot bods is what he is going to get.
09:00Guess what, Clash of the Comics? I'm Anya, Slammya, Magliano, and I swing both ways.
09:06It's me, Rosematafeo, a.k.a. Rosemata slayer.
09:09I punch up, left, right, but never down.
09:12Gamblers Anonymous!
09:15Our opponents are going to get publicly schooled.
09:18And you better believe that's something we know a lot about.
09:21I don't know what this is.
09:23Hi, Ringfluencer here.
09:26We are the OGs.
09:29We're the originators of Clash of the Comics.
09:31We are Oleska and Gonzales.
09:33And at this point, we are old guys.
09:36I've been hitting the gym.
09:38Rosie, Daddy, Jones.
09:42And at the gym, I met this guy.
09:46Simon Miller, the biggest, strongest boy I've ever seen in my whole life.
09:52Sorry, my glasses.
09:53Do you want me to use mine?
09:55No, no, it's...
09:56No, it's...
10:04This is it.
10:05The Tag Team Tornado.
10:07Nine teams will enter at timed intervals
10:09and they will compete until all but one team has been eliminated.
10:13So, entering the ring first, sponsored by the Sch-Energy Diet,
10:18the feminist energy drink for feminist children who want to lose weight.
10:22Please welcome the team of the Ringfluencer,
10:24Abi Clarke and Adam Maxtedt, a.k.a.
10:27Hashtag, please visit Dubai.
10:30CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
10:33It was said that their relationship was on the wrongs,
10:54and it appears that a picture of Dubai has fixed it all.
10:58What's this now?
11:01Surely not.
11:05What we are watching here is a satire on greed.
11:09My whole life has been a satire on greed.
11:12Yeah.
11:13Surely not.
11:13It's a baby reveal live at the Apollo.
11:17Here comes the baby.
11:18Oh, I see.
11:20I like babies.
11:21That'll win the crowd round.
11:22Everyone loves babies.
11:23I suppose it's a case of does he want the baby, perhaps?
11:27This could be the gender reveal.
11:30Photos have been taken.
11:31Photos are more important than lived experience.
11:33Oh, the baby's been punted into the crowd!
11:36The baby has actually travelled disappointingly close to the stage.
11:40He's a wrestler, he's not a rugby player,
11:41and there was not a lot of depth on that punt.
11:48And without any further ado, please welcome their opponents.
11:52The team of Sarah Little Keys, Keyworth, and Simon Miller,
11:55aka The Big Strong Ball!
11:58CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

12:32T
12:39żenie
12:40Yeah, I think we now understand where the crowd's allegiance is.
12:55I just want to double check because he's going to take his top off.
12:58I don't think this is fair.
13:01Some people are just more attractive than other people.
13:03We should be celebrating it.
13:06Other people have good personalities.
13:07Yeah, let's look at how he's going.
13:11All right, let's go, guys.
13:14He's got no control.
13:15We're on here at Fashion Comics.
13:17It's a double butt punch from the bad guys.
13:22Oh, that was a spectacular bit of movement.
13:26Double take down from Lil' Keys' key work with Simon Miller.
13:31It's a super-wrap.
13:38It's a super-wrap.
13:39A double super-wrap.
13:42It's a triple.
13:44It's a quadruple.
13:45You have to say the influencers are doing nothing for the idea
13:48that that demographic of people is not very smart.
13:50Oh, huge double team effort there.
13:59The pin.
13:59One, two.
14:01A lovely press slam there.
14:02Yeah, but there's a weapon there.
14:04You're allowed to throw people like weapons.
14:06You can do whatever you want, whenever you want.
14:08Come on.
14:09Get back in.
14:10Useful tactic there, pointed out by Sarah.
14:12Oh, the influencers are falling out.
14:14This has been a bit.
14:16Ah, this means the next team are coming in.
14:19Coming up, two teams have braved the Tornado.
14:25This is horrible to watch.
14:27But seven more are still waiting to be unleashed.
