Paul had me cackling during the final task of Episode 4. I don't want to spoil it, but he was extra sassy.

Watching through everything from series 10 onwards on Taskmaster Bleeped with my kids.

Half way through series 15 and it’s just head and shoulders above the stuff around it, and above more recent series which my kids haven’t yet seen (but which obviously I watched at the time).

But I can’t put my finger on exactly what it is I love about this series so much. The cast is just brilliantly cohesive, but also varied. I think how brilliant (and defying expectations) Frankie was helped. And Jenny was just such an amazing left field edition.

But we have other series with great casts, so, again, I can’t work out why I’m responding to series 15 so positively again.

Is anyone else a big fan of this series? Anyone able to identify why it’s so special?

So the latest episode doesn't have proper subtitles yet. I had the auto-generated subtitles on. This is who YouTube thought Greg was introducing at the start of the latest episode.

All the mistakes are referencing past contestants. That can't be a coincidence, right?

I have Keep notes from tele/films/books/YouTube etc. I recently had to start a new one because I ran out of space writing down quotes just from Taskmaster UK = 175 alone. We watch the seasons over again, and I find lines I missed the first, sometimes second time thru:

"Fiddly...fiddly...fiddly." Mark S5

"It's tougher than Picnic girl" Greg

"Who's Picnic Girl? I'm Picnic girl!" Sarah S11

Oh the songs by Nish/Mark and Bob/Aisling/Sally S5

My current life motto from the back of Morgana's outfit:

"I'm just doing this now" S12

Love that show!

I thought Richard was delightful in this latest episode. Generally it was one of the stronger this series, but I feel like we finally got to glimpse a little bit into Richard actually engaging with the show comedically.

Does anyone feel similarly?

Dying to know anything about this specific top — I am obsessed and need this in my own personal closet!! (It’s a bit lighter like lavender; my phone camera kind of makes it a bit harsher than it actually is.)

Honestly, Isy was flying in the Live drawing task, I was so impressed by how quickly she was drawing and how amazing it was to see how good she was doing

I think it’s probably one of the most impressive task performances ever

Series, Jason.

I really hope they book Miranda Hart soon. I’ve been watching her on Celebrity Traitors (never watched it before, but I couldn’t resist once I heard Acaster and Hart were on it). Frankly, I was worried she’d developed a weird relationship with the British public or been cancelled somehow since she hadn‘t been on TM yet, so I was quite excited to see she’d been booked on Traitors. (In case the title didn’t give it away, I’m an American.) I think she’d have INCREDIBLE chemistry with Alex and Greg. I hope she’s interested and on the next series.

Rules
You are allowed to dress in any contestants outfit from any version of Taskmaster

To keep things interesting, once a contestant’s outfit has been claimed, no one else can dress as that contestant so be sure to read the comments

Contestants only, no taskmasters or assistants

Think there'd be something funny about all 4 of them, plus one of the other schoolkids or something, they all call Greg Mr Gilbert and Alex is his stand in deputy head of 6th

And its all at Mr Gilberts house

for a new years treat, theres something rather funny about it to me

For anyone who doesn't know, The Cleaner is a sitcom on BBC iPlayer written and starring Greg Davies as a crime scene cleaner.

It is really funny and if you enjoy Taskmaster I recommend it.

I think people who've been on the cleaner might do Taskmaster because of connections.

Members of the cast include: ( Guest stars )

Helena Bonham Carter ( A bit far-fetched but she was in the show's pilot.)

David Mitchell ( I read somewhere he's on the fence about doing it.)

Ben Willbond ( I think he'd love to do it and would be really funny.)

Sharon Rooney ( Is currently on the celebrity traitors so she might do this sort of thing.)

Phillipa Dunne ( Plays Anne in Motherland.)

I'm just rewatching s21, and god, she was so funny. Just a completely new kind of contestant, which after 20 series, was really impressive.

Dave should have called Tupac.

Saw this yesterday for the umpteenth time. I laugh harder on each occasion.. to the point my laugh level is about a 10.1 Nish (imagine that, if you can!)

Ah Series 5. Where would be without you?

Today on More or Less, they used Josh Widdecombe as the definitive source for the number of beans in a can.

Hello everybody, thank you all so much for appreciating my Emma edit. I have made another edit of a TMAU contestant bullying Lesser Tom, and this time, it's Celia Pacquola. Enjoy! :)

Been catching up on SNL UK and him and Ania
Magliano are absolutely great together on weekend update, seen a few interviews with them too and I love their chemistry. But also made me really want him for Taskmaster, I feel like he’d excel at it. Anyone feel the same or do I just have recency bias?

one of the greatest tm contestants ever. I really love her signature straight resting bitch face after saying smth ridiculously funny or being taken the piss out of, and I especially love how giggly she is laughing at other people's jokes. my favourite bit of hers is her mild polite manners while literally physically intimidating and hijacking Alex's bike ("You alright?")
