Welp! 2 episodes in and all of Taskmaster Aus has been taken down from YouTube. I thought it was an official channel, I hope Taskmaster UK which has season 15 isn’t going to disappear

Edit: just realized you’re talking about the channel named “Taskmaster UK” rather than the UK channel called “Taskmaster.” The one you were talking about is definitely not official and it’s probably only a matter of time before it gets taken down, but there are other options.

Kinda weird the official taskmaster streaming platform doesn’t have the New Zealand version but has foreign language ones.

The whole Taskmaster streaming platform thing seems totally half-baked, it doesn't even get episodes of the new season apparently. It's always a bad idea to put out an inferior product for a show where the vast majority of the audience, by definition, started out pirating it.

Especially when they are still adding new seasons consistently to YouTube. They are most of the way through season 13 so only season 14 is not free.

HAmbONE posted:So I’m guessing not even British audiences got to see Frankie’s art? It was completely blurred, yes, probably due to Disney/Marvels' attack lawyers taking a dim view of their characters being depicted in that way. According to someone at the filming it was a drawing of Captain America with Wolverine on his knees before him, completely naked, and was discussed for a good 15 minutes, none of which made it to the final cut, which I suspect will happen to quite a lot more of Frankies' material in the next few episodes. Jenny was fantastic this episode: her effervescent glee over the potato-hat task was just superbly silly, charming TV, Taskmaster at its' best.

Surprised they didn't discuss "same word" being a genius workaround that no one else did, or the fact that it was such a long word.

Some of them chose length in letters and others syllables so in theory you could also have written down 40 entirely random words as long as you made sure to write them narrower and narrower on the sheet.

I wonder if that task had a "right" answer for the time keeping portion, even if it was one of Alex's silly gags like, use the first hourglass once, second twice, third three times, or something.

She and Jo Brand were/are standups of a very similar ilk back in the 80s and 90s. Hardcore feminist comediennes who will tell you about their period. Jo still seems to be inhabiting that role, while Jenny has definitely softened and is just having a ball.

I imagine it was meant to be using the mirror to see the clock on the roof of the caravan (with all the hourglasses and such inside just a distraction), it's just that Mae was unlucky enough to film on a rainy day that broke the clock.

The pure unbridled joy from Jenny in the potato hat task was really adorable, and I don't mind the rules were broken this one time. Also, Greg should have given Mae a pity point for the broken clock. That's really messed everything up for them, and was nobody's but the production team's fault.

Didn't seem to hurt them that much on time though, they would have won if not for messing up the word lengths. I loved the moment when they said "oh that's how we pronounce it in Canada" and then the solid 10 or so seconds of frozen panic as they tried to work out in their head how they were going to make up a three syllable pronunciation of "humiliate" on the spot. I feel like there probably wasn't really a trick to that task other than finding the clock, it seemed from Ivo's attempt that the hourglasses were all exactly one minute so you really just needed to grab one of them and keep flipping it when it ran out. I think it's kind of a classic "information overload" task where they give you way more stuff than you need and the entire point is that people will make things harder for themselves by trying to use all of it.

Dongicus posted:lol why are people in this thread mad about frankie out of curiosity I can't speak for everyone since I love Frankie, but I imagine some people have a fraught history with him. He's always been a shock comic, often while simultaneously riffing, and while that's produced some really great and incisive comedy it's also resulted in a fair amount of gross and hacky 'lol rape' or 'she has a penis' gags (especially if you go back like fifteen years, when the panel shows were like wall-to-wall misogyny). Someone up thread pointed out how tired it was that he did his wedding dance in drag. I was similarly underwhelmed by that, but I also see it more as 'old comedian realizes he's about to just shuffle around arhythmically, wheezing, and has a precious few minutes to try and add some comedy value to this bit'. Personally I think the show is using him just right, and he seems pretty game. He doesn't seem nearly as tired and/or disinterested as Jo Brand, David Baddiel or some of the other older competitors.

Sure, but the word 'outrageous' was on the list only because of the faulty clock. With some pleading, Greg would have caved, I'm sure.

He seems sort of fed up and disinterested most of the time - but then has the occasional moment of brilliance. I think that's just what he's like though. I get the sense he's one of those comedians that isn't used to sharing the spotlight with others. Even on Mock the Week he had to make himself the main character.
