Taskmaster

[PK]

It's amazing how having the audience back makes this infinitely better. I feel like we were robbed of two truly classic series by having the Wozniak and Herring ones filmed during COVID. Even the really shit tasks from those series would have been hilarious with the audience involved in the segments where they dissect the footage.

I fear "it's an absolute casserole down there" would have led to actual sides splitting.

Wozniak. ❤️

Considering how good season 2 of Taskmaster NZ was season 3 has been rubbish so far. 

[chris on the moon]

New season starting on channel 4 right now.

[MarkN]

Off to a pretty good start, I think. Some of these could be fun.

[peeveen]

Three jars was supposed to be "Jaws"?

I'm guessing Alex didn't expect any Scottish or Irish contestants in this series.

Rubbish tasks this week

[Jammy]

Couldn’t get to grips with Fern’s accent at all !

 

Apparently there were complaints about the first task, as people said they didn’t show the answer to the final puzzle, but they obviously weren’t listening as John got it immediately.

 She hardly has an accent at all really,

 

Ironically I don’t get the jars / jaws which I assume is accent related.

 

The tasks were rubbish though.

 

 

It’s likely down to me being deaf to be honest. ‘Jars’ works if you say it in an American accent.

[cassidy]

Nah it's not that.  I hear Jaars as Jaws.

That’s what I meant @cassidy - if you say ‘Jaws’ with the US accent it sounds like ‘jars’ in an English accent. My struggle with Fern’s accent is down to the deafness. I’ve lost the ability to follow anything even slightly exotic.

We're catching up on the last few series and whilst season 12 hasn't been the best, Victoria buying Alan that Man U season ticket voucher was amazing.

Loved the 1st season. Where did you watch season 2? I've struggled to find it.

It was all on youtube at the time but I don't think they are there any more.

[hmm]

Did season 3 get any better? I've got a copy of it but we haven't started yet.

Not really. There was high expectations after how good two was, but it is easily my least favourite. I still watched it all but apart from a few highlights it was a bit unremarkable. We had the last few episodes sat waiting to watch for quite a while.

[spork]

We didn’t even bother watching any more after episode 2 or 3. 

[chris on the moon]

This week I really enjoyed Dara's utter despair as his teammates utterly fucked up the studio task.

[Fry Crayola]

I'm surprised that there's an episode where

one contestant wins every single task.

 

Loved that final task though, seemed like a fun game to play as well. Fern's "crashes most" was hilarious.

[Halo]

This series of Taskmaster is a riot, really enjoying it.

[chris on the moon]

Dara's really great in this, I loved it when he found the ice cream delicious.

[wev]

Not sure whether to feel sorry for John or not!

 

 

[Stopharage]

That this series can just about get me to stomach Sarah Millican is testament to its excellence so far.

I didn't think you were going to eat it cos you're from Shropshire or something and you just eat roasts

 

Just amazing.

At least it's not Jason Manford.  I don't mind her tbh. 

[disperse and recoagulate]

Caught up with this earlier. Very good series. I was expecting more from Munya but I guess it’s not really an ideal platform for his type of comedy. He’s still been good though, as have all of them. Greg has also been exceptional.

 

Disappointed to hear about NZS03 not being good, cos season 2 is my favourite ever season including all the UK ones. Will probably still give it a go.

"wait .. what , what wait... what"

 

[cassidy]

Btw The Alex Horne TV show is on All4 now as well. 

 

Ep 2 and Grandaddy's peas song had me in tears.
