when Greg made a pun:

We all know Greg hates puns (and with S17, there will be lots of them), so it's rare when he makes them.

Heroic work.

I'd argue that Greg's face he makes afterwards is in response to Alex saying "Finally." If Alex hadn't, I don't think Greg would have reacted like that - but because it's The Assistant being happy about it, The Taskmaster must act with revulsion to counter it. If Alex had said something like "I feel weird now..." then I think Greg would have doubled down on looking smug.

I also think the nod from Alex is a bit more enthusiastic than just to the camera. I love his nod here. So much energy in it!

Thank you for your analysis!

Blah blah blah, I see you’ve been thinking about the kiss. Have you considered thinking about it harder?

Series 6 Episode 6 - The Kiss

First, the full clip, for context:

And now, we scrutinise.

(Some parts have been slowed down for a more detailed analysis.)

He said, with no emotion, fidgeting with his hand nervously. Also not enough people are speaking about the moan. He moans! Greg is already excited, though playfully, because he knows what's about to happen.

Greg says his line straight to camera, taunting Alex. Alex is visibly nervous, still fidgeting.

They begin to turn to each other, Greg is already grinning, Alex is far more sincere.

They lean in. Alex has to lean a bit further out of his chair to reach Greg. Alex’s hand is still on his chair. Alex’s other hand and Greg’s hands both go down with their knees. (So in sync). They’re already tilting their head, Alex to the left and Greg to the right.

Some hesitation, or rather, Alex leans forward, lips parted, but Greg backs up a bit.

Alex leans in again, giggling anxiously. Greg doesn’t move, also grinning, but more so at Alex. They’re so close, but they manage to not touch yet. It’s as though they have been struck by the reality of what they’re about to do.

Greg goes in for the kiss and now Alex can follow. Greg closes his eyes first and puckers up a bit more than Alex.

Alex completes the kiss with a final peck and backs off with a slight grimace. Greg smiles and doesn’t move quite yet.

Alex nods satisfactorily to camera and Greg pulls away. They adjust their legs and settle back into their seats.

Questions: Is Alex a) in shock, or b) full of regret? And what is Greg writing on his cards? (I have a conspiracy theory that at least half of the time he is scribbling nonsense, and I demand that he show us the cards.)

Greg cringes a bit. Just for camera? I’m not convinced he’s that upset about it.

Later, Greg touches his lips. In fairness he always has his pen in his mouth, so this could very well be insignificant.

And that’s The Kiss!

In conclusion: Greg takes the lead in the kiss and is an absolute tease. We also know that Greg writes these post-ad break bits. Which makes sense considering how excited he is, but it also leaves me dumbfounded. I don't even know what to say about that.

Bonus:

Alice Levine and Asim Chaudhry absolutely unsurprised and supportive. They get it.

I feel like I’m holding my breath until they kiss again, but it seems unlikely. But for now they won’t shut up about their fanfic, so that’s pretty satiating in the meantime.

the best clips for introducing people to Taskmaster

these are not necessarily my favorite tasks overall; these are ones that a) stand alone well, b) can be summed up in a succinct hook, and c) feature an entertaining variety of approaches from the different contestants.

Destroy a cake as beautifully as possible (S4) Make the best music video for a nursery rhyme (S2) Make this Swedish person blush (S1) Bring Alex his dinner (S4) Make the most dramatic entrance (S9) Surprise Alex when he comes out of the shed (S3) Do the most surprising thing with a rubber duck (S4) Make something spin for the longest time (S6) Make something to engage this toddler (S8) Make a toy for the cute dog (S12) Make this coconut look like a businessman (S5) Have the longest phone call (S12) Build the best volcano (S8)

for full seasons I do not recommend starting at the beginning—I think S4, S7, and S9 are good options to start with, but the best way to decide is probably looking at the full list of contestants and picking a series that features a performer you already know and like.

I’m in a Taskmaster vortex so

When the Moon Boys share scary stories

Steven: I don't think there's anything scarier than biting into a sandwich that's been left out to more than room temperature and the ham has changed state.

Marc: Well, I'm sorry, there is something scarier than that.

Steven: Is there?

Jake: Werewolves.

Marc: Being attacked by a bear was what I was gonna say.
