MikeJF posted:Taskmaster tangential but I just listened to Victoria Corren Mitchell absolutely break James Acaster on Off Menu and that was a joy. Victoria's explanation about how she'd always bring sandwiches in her purse to any dinner party (so she can sneak off to the bathroom and eat them if she hates the food) basically explains her entire taskmaster appearance

Heavy_D posted:Even though it's a tiny little thing in the grand scheme of things, I really think the title sequence to the first series of KB is one of the greatest opening montages. Almost every half second cut is funny or intriguing - I never fail to laugh at the Wendy house trying to board a bus. i legit think Maria Stavang is one of the funniest chaotic fuckup competitors of any season, up there with David Correos

Heavy_D posted:I just rewatched the episode where she spends the entire 200 Kroner budget for a task on waffles, and still arguably comes third. Although it's pretty heretical to bring back contestants for a second series, Maria is the most easily forgivable. the funniest thing to me, which is apparently not a gimmick at all, was her just earnestly eating everything she could in each task like she was starving, even when it actively hurt her chances

NowonSA posted:I'm a big Conan fan so I may have some bias here, but yeah thinking about it him as the Taskmaster and Richter in the on-screen assistant role seems like it'd work really well. yeah Conan is a weirdly good choice because in addition to meeting the minimum height requirements, he's also pretty prickly and willing to pretend to be hostile if someone in America really tries to do a really proper go of it, i would not be surprised to see Alex being the assistant again

Humbug Scoolbus posted:Grant O'Brien would be a great Assistant. He has no shame so the contestants could rope him into doing the weirdest poo poo, he's an excellent improviser and can write very strange improv prompts. random twitch personalities are objectively more famous than anyone in the CH crew, i pay them to watch their content but unless some American taskmaster was insanely low budget no one would ever consider them but if Sam made a show legally distinct from Taskmaster but with a similar concept, it would be good eke out fucked around with this message at 20:10 on Apr 19, 2022 |

it's a shame taskmaster appears to not have any actual budget to temporarily fly people in, considering it can be done in like a week of shooting tasks then a later week of live shows

i don't think it's worth worrying about the most famous american comedians because they are orders of magnitude more famous than most anyone else that's been on taskmaster (with maybe noel/mel excepted, given how insanely huge GBBO is) and you'd probably never get them anyways. it doesn't matter though because america has an unbelievable number of working comedians that do silly embarrassing things, such as improv comedy, all the time. and there're plenty of slightly less obscure career comedians that would be great and are already doing dumb poo poo twitch streaming or podcasting in their free time (e.g.: huebel, scheer, tompkins, etc etc) eke out fucked around with this message at 20:11 on May 2, 2022 |

I can not not-laugh or be dramatically enthralled when they do something the combination of Ardal's "gently caress it, whatever" attitude in tasks with his rabid competitiveness in the studio is one of the funniest things in Taskmaster

The Cheshire Cat posted:I feel like when they wrote that task they assumed people would give up faster than they did, hence the "oh god seriously do not watch this task it's the worst we've ever done" warnings when it turned out everyone was a lot more committed than they anticipated. i feel like the main reason it didn't get cut is that they felt too bad for Sophie. i bet if someone had not endured that long and everyone just had a bad time without much distinction, it wouldn't have made the edit

I do not think this series has been living up to the standard S2 set, but tbh that's an insanely high expectation because S2 was better than anything the OG show has done. I've been having fun regardless.

I really thought with the handwritten stuff/lack of seal, there was some fundamental twist -- like that the taskmaster's assistant had overstepped his bounds within the fiction and you weren't supposed to give him money, or there'd be other followup nonsense along those lines though "taskmaster chiding contestants for giving the assistant money" thing would be more greg/alex's character dynamic than jeremy/paul eke out fucked around with this message at 18:14 on Aug 18, 2022 |
