Taskmaster S10

I honestly love this series so much, and I'm glad this was the first series I watched as it went to air. I know it gets some hate which I can actually understand, but I feel its exactly what I needed when it was broadcast. The contestants seemed so giddy to be out of the house, and to be around other people after the lockdown. I loved how incapable all 5 of them were, especially Daisy and her prize tasks. How she didn't go into labour half way through the series just from laughing so hard is beyond me. I'm so glad Richard won too, and I loved how you could hear him giggling away in the studio after every task. They were the biggest group of dorks that have ever appeared, and will probably ever appear on Taskmaster UK. Mawaan and Kathrine both gave off such pure vibes, and Johnny was the exact degree of chaos I was expecting him to be. Let's face it though, Richard and Daisy were probably the best matched team for tasks ever, with the accidental/unofficial team of Kathrine I Alex coming in second. Daisy's attempts at saying 'phenomenon' in the last series was endearing.

Top 3 tasks

I had about nine or ten tasks I could have included on this list, it was so hard to narrow them down.

Eat the most watermelon

Jesus. Fucking. Christ. This one was horrific but will always make me laugh. I do love the contrast between the teams on a socially distanced perspective as using those grabbers must have been so tricky. The amount of coordination you would have to have to both eat and feed someone. Highlight quote for this team is Johnny saying “I want daddy’s watermelon”.

Daisy sounding like some kind of angry, rabid animal when eating it topped any of the food related tasks for me, as I didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. As Richard described it “its like the walking dead". He eats so little if it compared to Daisy, it’s hilarious. I'm so glad that they paired those two up.

Quietly make a cocktail

Yet another one which consists of Alex consuming weird stuff. I’m so glad that this task was included in this series, as Daisy has to be one of the loudest, angriest contestants in TM history, and this wound her up so much. The name she came up with for hers had to be the best ‘the fucks sake'. I honestly think that Kathrine would have done so well if she hadn’t insisted on using ice for it. That’s where most of the noise came from, but she stuck with it. Johnny drinking straight from the champagne bottle was such a mood, as was him testing how loud a sparkler was just out of curiosity. This task did confirm one thing for me though, Richard is seemingly incapable of shouting properly, and I love it. I don’t know whether Mawaan was deliberately sabotaging himself with the idea of the bin juice in mind, or he genuinely didn’t realise how loud he was being. The question “do you think wine and milk go together?” will forever haunt my dreams.

Knock over the coconut/move the drinks

I was not surprised ir disappointed by Johnny being the one who knocked the coconut over the slowest. He gave so much in this task, but “me and Teddy are going on a bender" will live on in my mind forever. It gave me so much joy watching Richard carrying a Teddy that was roughly the same size as him or bigger. How he failed to notice the tray, I have no idea. I momentarily felt bad for Daisy when her tray went over taking a full pint with her, but she’s far too angry during tasks for anything she does not to be funny. I like to think that I would have done the same as Mawaan and somehow attached the bear to me.

Obvious shoutout to the best live task ever; the drawing task in E6 that gave us Hippo!Gate. Poor Richard having to feel the pure rage of Daisy but Jesus christ my body hurt from laughing even rewatching it. It was made even better by Daisy not guessing the very obvious kangaroo Rich drew. And to the last live task of the series where Daisy had a bit of a breakdown, and narrowly missed out winning the series.

Urban Myths: Bob Dylan - Knockin’ on Daves Door

(In the early 1990 Bob Dylan wants to visit Dave Stewart from the Eurythmics in London. But because of a mix up with the addresses he ends up in the living room of the plummer Dave. )

I can only recommend this episode. It’s really strange, funny and awkward (a bit like Bob). Sometimes the quotes can get a bit to much, because I don’t think Bob talks in his own song quotes all the time. But it is nevertheless very funny and charming.

just imagine

the it crowd with basically the same plot jen gets hired and doesn't know a thing about IT and becomes relationships manager.

but the twist is moss, Roy and (later) Richmond are newly deviated android’s who are still learning to act more alive and human like.

I thought about when I was watching the IT crowd coupled with the fact that Kathrine Parkinson who plays jen was actually in a tv series called HUM∀NS that focused on the social, cultural, and psychological impact of the invention of anthropomorphic robots called "synths". and playing to much Detroit become human

and before I knew it my brain was rewriting the entire script of the IT crowd to fit in with the boys being android’s and Jen basically teaching them to be human surprisingly the plot didn't change all that much and it fits really well

Series 10 and 11 have both have had a different vibe from the other 9 series (with the pandemic and channel change), but honestly? I think they've been two of my favourite series. They're the first two I've watched as they went to air, and they've made me cry with laughter on multiple occasions, and seeing Gregs banter with these contestants was amazing.

The series 10 contestants were so obviously giddy just to be out of the house and around other people. Sure, they weren't the best contestants, but they were still amazing. It brought us Hippogate, Katherine Parkinsons confused aura, and the most angrily competitive pregnant woman I will ever see. Plus the genius idea of having Daisy and Richard working together for team tasks, which will forever be my favourite pairing in TM history. And let's not forget Mawaan trying to put helium into an egg. Its nice to see more people discovering Richard Herrings podcast - RHLSTP - because of it (something I've been a fan of for years). It was such a satisfying feeling to see Richard win, knowing how much he has wanted to be on the show for so long.

Series 11 was a lot calmer, but just as fun. It's made me apreciate Mike, Sarah, Jamali and Charlotte a lot, despite not seeing any of their work. I've been a fan of Lee for a while, and honestly thought he would be my favourite, until Mike started singing about prawns and immediately stole my heart. And let's face it, I would be hard to beat Mike making a casserole of himself as the most disgusting thing thats happened on the show (it even beat Liza making Alex sit on a cake). Jamalis chaotic 'sod it' nature and Sarah's more logical nature was a contrast, it was so nice to see. Charlotte was probably the sweetest contestant I remember being on the show. I'm not really surprised about the result of this series in all honesty.

Seeing Mike Wozniak become the people's champion has been so beautiful to see, and he will go down in Taskmaster history as the best contestant ever (in my eyes at least).

Don't get me wrong, I love the other series, but the past two have a special place in my heart. They've been just what I've needed after the past year/year and a half. I'll always be grateful to Little Alex Horne for creating this show.

Sorry about all the Pirate Radio spam

It's the best movie I've seen in a while! Its about illegal radio stations in Britain, and all of the hilarious people that live on this boat called Radio Rock. If you haven't seen it, it is amazing.

But as I was looking through the tags, I found some scenes that weren't in the US version. Is there an extended version? Or some extra scenes that people have?
