TASKMASTER SERIES 18 -> A Cameraman bumping into Alex + Andy D Cameo

[sowhatsthesituation]

OK OK OK

In the bubble task, Andy calls Alex "Greg's petit ami" which directly translates to Greg's small friend. Which ha ha, its a joke about Alex being Little Alex Horne.

BUT it's also the French term for boyfriend and I don't know if he did that intentionally or not.

I adore this new series of taskmaster so much

You’ve got

Greg and Alex just fully leaning into The Taskmaster and his assistant being a couple

Rosie Jones being so relentlessly positive she actually forced Jack Dee to smile

Andy Zaltzman somehow showing a more twisted imagination than Steve Pemberton

Babatunde Aléshé being baffled and enraged by the sheer concept of the show

Emma Sidi’s obsession with smoothies

The concept of a “romantic cheat” in a pub quiz

Possibly the most anticlimactic live task ever

A cricketer grating a shoe

The entire “push the envelope the furthest” task

Rockets and lockets and pockets

And of course, a task which gave us an obnoxious American horse, a demonic pigeon, “little banana boy”, a drug dealing otter and a literal shit as childrens television puppet sidekicks

Taskmaster contestants (and Alex) speaking French with varying degrees of success

[radioscientist]

Could genuinely watch Jack and Rosie do tasks together for 100 seasons of Taskmaster they’re SO GREAT!

On Jack’s end it’s like watching a loving but long-suffering father go along with his chaotic daughter’s antics and trying not to show how delighted and/or annoyed the whole thing makes him.

Meanwhile, on Rosie’s end it’s like trying to solve logic puzzles and being on a team with your grandad who you love so much and you want to spend time with, but who happens to be absolutely shit at puzzles and is constantly thwarting your genius.

I would make sweet love to Alex's body...

Taskmaster s18e08 SPOILERS

[thenaturalfriends]

Rosie Jones made Sam Campbell soup for the "Recreate a famous piece of 2D art in 3D" task.

Combined with Steve Pemberton bringing in some SamCam art for a prize task in series 17 and James Acaster bringing in Sam's drawing of James with two dicks in series 7, Sam is by far the comedian most mentioned by other contestants.

This is because Sam is perfect.

[defiledcinephile]

My favourite reaction from series 18 episode 3 has got to be Alex poorly attempting to hide his laugh whilst witnessing the romantic cheat

[taskmastercaps]

[ID: Four screencaps from Taskmaster. Emma Sidi stands in a room empty except for an optometrist's chair, tapping urgently on her phone. She says, "I've consented to the cookies." From off-screen, Alex Horne asks, "But you haven't allowed all the cookies, have you?" Emma replies, "I'm under a lot of stress. I've allowed them all." Alex says, "Oh, my God." End ID.]
