Anyway I have been watching Norway but to be honest this year's was two identical bald men, two identical blonde women and that weird sentient teddy bear guy which made rooting for any given individual difficult. Good series though! More people need to be setting light to things imo.

I've been working on my own version of Taskmaster with some friends (posted about it a while ago in here and got some good suggestions). One of our tasks is a weird one involving a "Jury" and it's supposed to have a significant number of people that don't know anyone involved. If there's anyone in this thread that wants to be a part of it, you'd need about 15 minutes or so and a gmail account (to fill out a google form). Just let me know and I can DM you details.

You'll be watching a video and guessing what the contestants are trying to convey. It's basically the first bit of a running task, where parts 1 and 2 are judged with good ol' fashioned percentages and numbers, and part 3 is judged by the Taskmaster exclusively.

Sign me up chief. Also Tarbuck is fine. She gave us Alex sitting in cake. Richard Herring is the only person I recall being bored with, if only because he really competitive without many comedic moments to back that up, save the skit one where he's in a bush.

That worked well when it was during the tasks but for the final party everyone might be on handhelds and I worry that people will be mumbly or not speak into the mic or change volume and blow them out. It's gonna be... tough.

I feel like it might be one of those English things where she's rude in a way that is surprising and different over there but pretty mundane over here. I figured out one thing that bugs me about her winning her season, and it's one of the things that some other people love about her, where there's a lot of tasks where she just kinda doesn't stress or rush and even kinda just blows off, and there's been a number of people like that on Taskmaster, but she won the season with that.

SlothfulCobra posted:I feel like it might be one of those English things where she's rude in a way that is surprising and different over there but pretty mundane over here. Honestly it does seem like "don't worry about it too much" is kind of a winning strategy on Taskmaster. It doesn't always work out for the people who go in with a 100% "don't give a poo poo" attitude, but they tend to land pretty frequently in the middle of the pack, while the people who really panic and go nuts do the worst.

There was Jo Brand that had the same methodology as Tarbuck, but I actually enjoyed her 'gives absolutely no shits' attitude.

Somehow it worked for Jo. It's a subtle difference between "not giving a poo poo about doing the task correctly" and "not giving a poo poo about the task."

I don't recall much of Tarbuk "not giving a poo poo" considering she tended to knock it out of the park more often or not. With that said though she definitely came into the task, did the job without getting flustered, came out with 5 points, which doesn't make as much for good comedy TV. Still, she made Alex sit in a cake. S-tier contestant for that alone.

Really have to disagree here. It was endearing for the first 3 or 4 episodes but then it started to get aggravating. Maybe don't commit to a series if you can't be arsed to even attempt most of the time, for even one episode?

Bridget Christie forlornly wandering the gardens banging a saucepan with a spoon, then giving up on life and collapsing into a pile of black bin bags is a real 2022 post-pandemic mood, I must say.

Mr Beens posted:Didn't know that Bridget Christy was married to Stewart Lee. Apparently they have to agree which one of them gets to use each anecdote from their life together. Stew gets a incident at their wedding, Bridget takes the story about their awful honeymoon destination. Personally I'd love to see a He Said/She Said TV series commissioned, where each week they both perform separate stand-up routines about the same topic or incident, which then get intercut into a half-hour episode. Maybe the audience for that is just me though... The high-five task tonight had the same kind of lightning-in-a-bottle that TM NZ struck with squirting the suncream - a task designed to be fairly straightforward, until the contestants then strike out in their own crazy directions. I could kind-of see what was coming with the keys, but what I didn't expect was for Bridget to completely blow the massive advantage she gave herself. Thank goodness she won the live task and continues to lead, through a lot of dumb luck. Greg really did look great in that kimono at the end, didn't he?

My immediate reaction to the "put this key somewhere difficult but not impossible to get to" was that you'd need to get it later and thought Bridget would have a good advantage when that came up. Turns out not so much, but at least I was right about the task!

...this might be the best series. It's certainly the one that's made me laugh out loud the most True, Alex simply can't deal with the unsullied chaos that flows from Bridget's mind. And Bridget can't deal with Alex trying to order it with his stupid rules and tasks. It's hilarious. Lord, her on the binbag, pots and noise, a true visage! Most stand ups in the UK have at least met eachother before because of the Fringe (comedy festival). If you get to be on tv, you have already played in Edinburgh. Old comedians have crossed paths more than the youngs but yeah, some of them are actual friends, the badtards E. Spelling.

LesterGroans posted:Was legit excited about who would be third during that final edit lol I really liked the high five task. Ironically, my first thought strategy was somewhat employed by Ardal. The task said third high five wins, first and last get nothing. As soon as someone high fived Alex, I would've gave him a high five double tap. I thought Chris had the right idea on the fish tank task. It looked like the big fish tank had a copper bowl or something in the bottom of it, I figured that was to stop the smaller aquarium from going any further into the big aquarium to end it at the perfect height. I love that Bridget harped on the "not removing the aquarium" line on the task, then immediately forgot and took the aquarium out of the room. In retrospect Bridget had a good idea on the key. Keep it handy for yourself, but if it turns out Alex is going to retrieve it, you start running. It's too bad that I am pretty sure Alex murders her at some point during a task and we are seeing a decoy Bridget at the live show. Greg does have crime scene cleaning experience.
