The norwegian version of Taskmaster isn't afraid to go to dark places. The contestants was asked to bring something that blue, heavy and could fit in a shoe box. One contestant brought a pack of condoms that she bought in december last year and was still unopened.

In the recent episode of the norwegian Taskmaster the contestants was tasked with creating life in 100 days. One of the contestants managed to hatch a chicken from a store bought egg and another contestant got his wife pregnant.

The norwegian Taskmaster does not gently caress around. The contestants was asked to bring something that would make the taskmaster uncomfortable and one of the contestants brought a screenshot of an instagram post with the picture of the taskmaster and the hashtag metoo.

I'm binging the first seasons of the UK Taskmaster (which, because of how UK telly works, have taken me an hour) and Rob Beckett just seems...wrong. Like an off brand muppet voiced by someone with plugs in their ears who only have a vague understanding about what language is.

Little Alex Horne is genuinely really uncomfortable every time he has to pin something to a woman's chest. I also liked how Greg Davies was legit angry when the prize task was to bring an invention.

I loved Rhod so much because he showed up to play an entirely different game called How Can I Make Them Regret Inviting Me and he was playing that game to win.

Rhod apparently showed up to play one game and one game only: "How can I kill Alex Horne?"

Acaster refuses to greet Alex Horne and even Gilbert is weirded out by it.


The no blinking conteset: In the Norwegian version one of the contestant didn't blink for several hours and was really angry when he learned that the the second best didn't blink in half an hour.

Looks like the increasingly popular Kongen Befaler will be the first series in the franchise to be aired in 2022, starting 24th Feb.

I'm not that intrigued by the new cast. Harald Eia is past his sell by date as a comedian. Martin "piefucker" Lepperød could be fun though.

I have that the small amounts of fucks that Jo Brand has to give is almost impressive. During one timed task she just goes to the toilet.

Series 10: Johnny Vegas is far too emotionally invested in these tasks. He's having way too many nervous breakdowns. I like how Mawaan is constantly trying to find loopholes and bend the rules without breaking them.

Johnny Vegas is so unhinged on Taskmaster that when he's tasked with making noises in a team task the others just assumes he's just being Johnny Vegas and ignores him.

Oh, wait, I haven't seen that one yet. I meant the one with throwing a burning bowling ball into a tub of petrol, cramming four small children onto a bicycle and having one fall off and winning a game by smashing your own hand into a mousetrap.

Good to hear it continues.

Keep in mind that Atle Antonsen started his career on a radio show that among other things blew up a dead badger in a freezer:

I don't think she's not going to win, but I find myself rooting for Bridget because I always appreciate contestants being extra with their costumes.

The costumes was not something I was prepared for when I started to watch the british taskmaster. In the norwegian version pretty much everyone wears normal clothes, even Amir.

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."

Alice Levine either didn't give a gently caress or was pretty dedicated. Like, she varied between showing up with a subway pass on one prize task and committing identity theft in another episode,

David Mitchell is the host of Outsiders, which is a lot like Taskmaster, but all tasks are for teams of 2, and they are themed around wilderness survival. He doesn't have an assistant, but he does get to taste things, and the discomfort is very much there.
Britisk television is just an endless stream of shows where comedians compete against e each other. And there's sometimes an episode of Dr. Who.

Kongen Befaler started again last night. Espen and Henriette are both comedy legends in their own right, but the three others suffer from Westerdals-syndrome. They have no practical or life skills, but have had a media/entertainment education, got a TV/radio gig straight out of school, and must entertain you at any cost, usually by being the most disruptive and loudest in the room.

I liked that one of the contestants is so non famous that the production crew mistook him for the new chef.

Well, AA is officially done with Taskmaster. Which is just as well, a large part of what the taskmaster does is berate the contestants and it is no longer funny watching AA doing it.

Yikes. The linked article makes it pretty clear he flat out assaulted her.

A guy with cp also came forward with a story about how a drunk AA took control over his wheelchair and "jokingly" drove it towards the top of some stairs. As it turns out he's a humongous rear end in a top hat.

They actually filmed it a year ago as a backup plan because Atle Antonsen doing something really stupid while really drunk was very real scenario.
