In last nights Celebrity Hunted episode, James Acaster and Ed Gamble were up to their typical antics.
The two took sanctuary at a tattoo shop in Bristol on their sixth day of eluding the squad of celebrity hunters.
To commemorate the event, 38-year-old James got his 37-year-old comic friend Ed a tattoo, which, yes, is dreadful.
We’re not sure whether this is a huge prank from the jokers, but if it is, it’s a fantastic one because there is even video showing Ed slipping beneath James’ unstable hand while James is holding a huge tattoo gun.
The outcome? On his lower thigh was a tally sheet with seven strikes for each day that he had survived the challenge.
If Ed’s decision is actually permanently carved into him, we have little doubt that he will later grow to regret it.
But if there’s any comedic team whose chart-topping podcast, Off Menu, has them interviewing famous people about their ideal supper, it’s these two.
Just before the couple made the decision to camp out in the home of Channel 4’s cherished comedy show Taskmaster, tattoo-gate occurred.
One viewer thought the moves pretty legendary, as they wrote: ‘James giving Ed a tattoo then deciding to go to the Taskmaster house, iconic’.
Another said: ‘feeling insane about james acaster and his little moustache doing a tattoo’.
The two claimed to know Taskmaster’s building, where comedians do ridiculous chores, like the “back of [their] hand” as they explained their new goal to find the captives.
‘We have to hunt the hunted now,’ said James, as they armed themselves with waterguns, which they planned to use as defence weapons.
When it came time to execute the plan, however, it was discovered to be a touch overly ambitious, and viewers were left with the suspenseful image of James squirting what he claimed to be “piss” (but wasn’t) at the hunters.
‘This is piss. Eat piss. This is piss,’ James yelled behind him, while trying to run away.
Celebrity Hunted fans were in bits at the dramatic ending, as one wrote: ‘Eat piss will be trending soon’.
‘James Acaster + Ed Gamble are deffo carrying this series!’ commented another.
