I thought the lap dancing task was fun tbh. I’d like them to release the heart rate data though.

What do people know Rose Matafeo from? I recognise the name but can't place her. Just general standup? I see she's in a NZ show called 'Funny Girls' so I'm hoping that's to my taste. All women sketch troupes are often pretty good.

So long as Baddiel doesn’t do anything awful like blackface again, I’m sure he’ll be fine.

Episode 9 is easily the best of this season of Taskmaster, and one of the best of the show as a whole. Although Lou and Sian should've gotten scores of 0 for the bounces task, while they were bouncing many times they were resetting the count by propelling the ball each time.

Okay so this series of Taskmaster has been pretty hit and miss but the final episode, my god. Laughed so hard at the blindfold disability scooter task that it hurt. Series 9 lineup is decent, Jo Brand will be hilarious, Ed Gamble is really funny and Katy Wix should be great as she's dizzy as gently caress (her character in Not Going Out was essentially an extension of her real life personality.)

Watched the new Louis Theroux documentary, the third in a sequence about the Westboro Baptist Church, and I was not expecting it to flip the tables on me so I'd start feeling real sympathy for Shirley Phelps.

Gorn Myson posted:Watched the new Louis Theroux documentary, the third in a sequence about the Westboro Baptist Church, and I was not expecting it to flip the tables on me so I'd start feeling real sympathy for Shirley Phelps. The saddest part was that one of the Phelps' granddaughters escaped the cult only to convert to Marvel Cinematic Universe. Just kidding, but it's actually interesting that she picked superhero movies as a way to cope with the sudden collapse of her old identity. Maybe those movies are good for something, after all. The same goes for Twitter, because against all odds people there managed to convince her sister to leave the church. Another interesting thing is that at least two new WBC members said they watched Louis' previous documentaries about them, and that's how they decided to join. Maybe at this point giving them any attention is the only thing that keeps them afloat. Their numbers are very stable, but the stream of people leaving the church is as constant, so without new recruits WBS wouldn't survive another generation. And you just know there's going to be at least one more Yorkshire incel who'll join WBS after watching this documentary. Leaves me with mixed feelings that.

Your post is basically every thought I had on that episode but expressed far more eloquently than I ever could. But I remember when the Westboro Baptist Church was an actual thing over a decade ago because their protests were garnering mainstream attention, and those protests were in turn being protested, and I remember how Shirley Phelps was one of their main media figureheads and I remember just how much I despised her for the things she was saying. So it feels really strange to me now to look back at them and knowing full well the hate they peddled and realise that if Louis were to go back and talk to them again, the one thing I would like to see most is to see Shirley re-united with her children, but outside of the cult. I'm quite an emotional person anyway, but that interview with her just killed me. Also, thehustler, cheers for the link, I'll watch that when I have time.

Okay, this is a "what was the name of this show?/was o having a fever dream?" Post. I've got vague recollections of a children's gameshow from about 25-30 years ago on ITV. Kind of bizarre challenges. One was getting a large boulder through a maze without rocking our changing its height at any point. The main this I remember is that they displayed the teams scores by projecting a laser beam through smoke. The set decoration felt kind of post apocalyptic, very dark and weird costumes on the host characters. Any ideas?

When you think about it we had quite a few crazy game shows like that. What was the one they double downed on CG projection and one of their tasks was flailing around in a bowl of cereal? this was a BBC one.

We had some good tv back in the day. I got the preschoolers I work with watching Spider! and half of them were bored and the other half were just losing their poo poo. Absolutely loving it. We had a deep discussion afterwards about how unkind the little boy was. I didn't get as far as the episodes when the spider and the child are pals. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LD_WvcLi95I

Did the heat kill most of the pop of this old thread off? Just finished Year Of The Rabbit. It certainly is worth seeing once now. But gently caress me the adverts for 4 On Demand are still the most annoying and on the nose thing I have seen this year.

I enjoy it. I think I would enjoy it even more without the snippets of the show. Even those fragments are too much, to suffer and I think it works better as an absurdist piece if the audience have absolutely no exposure to the programme being discussed at all.

The Russian prison was laughably un-Russian, but at least they had some people who can actually speak the language, which is more than what can be said of many other shows. The strength of the show is obviously in writing, and Phoebe Waller-Bridge is consistently fantastic at that. Will have to watch series two before the third one starts.

I finished watching Killing Eve yesterday, also went through Crashing, another PWB comedy, pretty good but was probably for the best that it got cancelled so soon (as the characters were designed to be obnoxious, like Community at its worst).

What we do in the shadows is absolutely perfect. It's a much better Berry vehicle than year of the rabbit. Also Poldark is back and still weirdly compelling even though I'm not a post-menopausal lady.

Dell_Zincht posted:Just a warning, PWB had no involvement in the writing of series 2, and it shows. Well, that's unfortunate. But I'll give it a fair shake. Comrade Fakename posted:I wouldn’t really call it a “subtext”. It's only one step further in that direction than Batman and Joker, to be honest. Captain Mediocre posted:What we do in the shadows is absolutely perfect. It's a much better Berry vehicle than year of the rabbit. I enjoyed it much more than Year of the Rabbit. WWDitS has focus in its style and execution, and even when it goes over the same ground relying on main characters not being accustomed to modernity, it remains entertaining and finds new ways to juxtapose those conflict worldviews. With YotR, they tried to do a send-off to 70s crime TV shows, but for some reason decided to set it over 50 years earlier, so you end up with this weird mashup of tropes of varying degrees of cartoonishness that don't quite fit together. There are still individual funny jokes and good performances, but the show as a whole doesn't work.
