"I bet you’ve got a barbecue" is the best, because it's chaos however you read it in any voice under any situation. It works for someone who doesn't know the quote. And for someone who does it's heightened a lot. Talk up to your audience, not down

That whole task was great Julian. Even his last words "Well I was roused, by then" as a reply to Alex revealing he'd said Alex had the charisma of Matt Hancock afterwards.

I started watching The Completely Made up Adventures of Dick Turpin on AppleTV starring Noel Fielding, and who should show up as the leader of the Hellhounds, the most feared gang in the country, in the second episode? Our Taskmaster!!!

The trailer has arrived https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u3WVJ5HljVc Quasi-spoiler: There's a shot of a fence panel with a bunch of gloves stuck through it. I seem to recall Rebecca Lucy Taylor (Self Esteem) described a task like this when she was the guest on the Taskmaster Podcast - one that didn't make it into the New Years Treat. She ventured that the resulting footage must have been too lewd and degrading to broadcast, but apparently it could be reworked...

Voting for "How we laughed" but equally pleased with the charisma quote. Qrs Tuvwxyz is a good option just because it would make people scrolling past the thread do a double take, though.

Junkenstein posted:Any news on a new Aus or NZ season? I'm now hearing that it's going to be 24th April, to coincide with Masterchef. I'm sure there's a clever portmanteau they can use in the promos. Guess we can add Aus S2 to the title and keep it current for a few more weeks. Speaking of, Barbecue vs Charisma is at 6 all by my tally, "how we laughed" still running the outside with 4 votes. Lets see what postal votes come in over the weekend.

US didn't work with just Alex, so maybe with Alex and Greg. Then when that doesn't work they'll ship over a bunch of English contestants too. They'll crack this! Eventually!

I saw James Acaster on Seth Rogan Late Nite show and it was painful watching him have to explain one of his jokes to Seth. Especially since I think they rehearse or at least plan these things.

Mr Beens posted:Seth Myers? Yeah sorry Seth Meyers. To be clear he was still funny, it's just he is funnier than the environment he was in which has a low ceiling of comedy. And the explanation I'm thinking of wasn't the bit, Seth misunderstood the joke (it kind of worked how Seth meant it) and James pointed out the intended joke. Either way it effectively communicated to me he is on tour and that I would like to see it, but can't because I'm not going to LA or NY.

Boxturret posted:US didn't work with just Alex, so maybe with Alex and Greg. Buckle up Brits, we're doing the Taskmaster US conversation again.  Paul Williams is just as good as Alex imo; I don't think he's intrinsic to the show as a performer, but definitely as a producer. His dynamic with Watts was so weird and forced, probably because Viacom didn't understand what made Taskmaster work. It seems like he was there to add credibility to the format (like Weakest Link or American Idol), where I don't think most Americans really care about the origin, just that the comedy is good (like Whose Line). I think they can come into a much stronger bargaining position wrt creative control over cast selection and format now that millions (or at least hundreds of thousands) of Americans watch TM Prime.

The Auckland comedy festival has a whole category for taskmaster comedians. Guy Williams show name might be the best thing he's ever done, while Fern Brady's poster is maybe not the best thing she's ever done.

It’s a long shot but gently caress it, doesn’t seem like something that’ll come up again. It would be cool to meet up but I can’t say for sure that I’m going until Monday. I’ll PM you then.  I would love to actually crash it if possible. Maybe if I print out that task and wear a silly jumpsuit they’d have to let me in.

Yeah this has been my hope. I think another run at a US series is inevitable, and I'm just really hoping they have the leverage now to give Alex a lot of creative control.

It's a version of an actual religious painting which depicts a miracle (an abbot was praying in front of a painting of a breastfeeding Virgin Mary who then squeezed her breast to shoot milk in the abbot's mouth) which Brady has said she's obsessed with.
