Taskmaster - S13 E1 - The Noise That Blue Makes.

no the briefcase wasnt empty 😜

Joshyboiiiiii

And different spelling of the surname 😂

Joshyboiiiiii

Yeah theres no way chris wins this season. Havent seen it btw and no chris is from south shields and gordons Scottish 😂

Joshyboiiiiii

Random question of the day. What would your characteristic feature be?

Joshyboiiiiii

There's no way you actually thought Chris was 56 🤣🤣 I think he would have been 35. Btw I'd say you look 23-26

Joshyboiiiiii

Yes i think you've seen him elsewhere and you probably won't understand him 😂😂

Joshyboiiiiii

YAAAAAS CHRIS LAD HAWAY UP THE NORTH!!!! Ps i suggested you watched him and maybe it was russell Howards stand up like a year ago

Joshyboiiiiii

Omg i hope my boiiiii chris is on this juan

Joshyboiiiiii

I have to much coffee at home. Its great 🙂

Carl-Fredrik L

Sounds like quite a luxury-problem to have thou? 🙂

Carl-Fredrik L

I have not yet! I have so much to watch, I need more time! 😅 I have been doing this for two years now and I barely made a dent in my list. 🤭

Mandy Cane Lane

Ahhh, ok! That makes sense 🤗

Mandy Cane Lane

Oh no, it's not the podcast, it's a short 10 minute video. It's an unofficial task they shot during the filming of the series and released exclusively on the YouTube channel. They usually do a video like every this for each contestant every series. A good way to get to know them a little if you have no idea who they are.

Abel Bracegirdle

Well consider my Father Ted vote locked in haha

Jonathan Davies

So on the extra duck Judy found. On the podcast Apparently Ed Gamble said they did a version of the duck task in champions of champions but didn't work out (they often do a lot more tasks than get shown and if they don't work out they tweak and reuse them). Hence the random duck they forgot to clean up between Series.

That is the correct answer 👏 you win our duel of wits. Don't you like my poem Mandy??? 😓

Josh Read

I feel like you have mentioned it in the past. It's the voice modulation. It just irritates me!

Stevus

You silly boys and your banter 🤭

Mandy Cane Lane

I am hyped up! 🙌🏻✨️

Mandy Cane Lane

OHHH "mayhem" is such a good word for her! 🤣 I am convinced I am going to love her!

Mandy Cane Lane

She is by far the one that stood out to me the most! I have a feeling I am going to love her!

Mandy Cane Lane

I do not understand that meme. Lol. Anyway, it is high up on my list indeed! Perhaps when Blackadder is over I will conduct another poll with Father Ted included. 🤔 We'll see in a few weeks!

Mandy Cane Lane

Have you listened to the Taskmaster podcast? There is also some interviews with Alex and Greg on a channel called In Creative Company

Carl-Fredrik L

Haha! HI! 🩵 I actually like that song 🤣

Mandy Cane Lane

Hahhaa, seems normal to me! Not sure who Lee Van Cleef is, but the outfit was chef's kiss!

Mandy Cane Lane

Oh yay! We are both going to have a lot of fun with this then! And Judi stood out to me! Seems she will be hilariously chaotic 🤣🤣🤣

Mandy Cane Lane

Also Kitana will never be put up to win/lose. EVER 🤭

Mandy Cane Lane

How did this go from such a nice lil' comment to THAT? 😅

Mandy Cane Lane

Haha, well my brain made an attempt! Lol. Also Judi seems like she is going to be amazingly fun! Great cast 🤗🌸

Mandy Cane Lane

This one looks like it is going to be great! Ohh, maybe if I remember, the podcast can be after I finish the series

Mandy Cane Lane

Oh this series is gonna be great! I expect some beautiful chaos! Also Steve is hella feisty 🤣

Mandy Cane Lane

Haha Katherine tried to fill a net with water using a garden hose, among many others but that was the worst !! Unforgivable 🫣 And I just found Victoria to be too lazy and not willing to put in the hard graft sometimes while banging on about social mobility and blah blah silver spoon brit stuff that rubs me the wrong way being a classless oik myself

.

Have not seen Father Ted yet, but it is high on my list! Lots of shows are high on my list, but this one seems quite popular!

Mandy Cane Lane

Lmao! I may be a scatter brain, but I never took a McDonald's tray 😅🤣

Mandy Cane Lane

I agree Stevus, something feels off 😅😅

Mandy Cane Lane

Pleasure is all mine Mr Feisty 🩵

Mandy Cane Lane

Yup, very possible! Also saw her on several "The Big Fat Quiz" thumbnails

Mandy Cane Lane

Also that throwing away/ donating cash thing would never happen in Argy. 🤭

Mandy Cane Lane

Lmao to the smells!! And wait, what did Katherine and Victoria Cohen Mitchell do wrong? 🤔

Mandy Cane Lane

Haha, maybe an inside joke between them, something that didn't air 😅

Mandy Cane Lane

THANK YOU Stevus! The proper way to take pills. 💅🏻 Also, yes, I heard about Taskmaster Junior!

Mandy Cane Lane

That was not intended to be dirty FYI... just my engineering knowledge

Mandy Cane Lane

Always grease your ball bearings Feisty Steve!

Mandy Cane Lane

Hahaha! VERY WEIRD! But hey, first thing that comes to mind is often inexplicable, lol. Also, it was bothering me, so I looked it up and Judi was on several "The Big Fat Quiz" thumbnails I have seen and apparently she has also been made into several popular memes. She seems hilarious so can't wait to discover her comedy!

Mandy Cane Lane

Oh, fun! He seems to play hard! My guess as season winner perhaps? 🤔

Mandy Cane Lane

HAHAHHA! Maybe that was her inspiration? 😅🤣

Mandy Cane Lane

Maybe if I asked Alex he would reach it for me? 🥺

Mandy Cane Lane

The cast seem so fun individually and together! Also Alex really cut loose the last few seasons 🤣

Mandy Cane Lane

I have not gotten to that season yet 😅🤣

Mandy Cane Lane

😂

Stevus

🧐... 🤷‍♂️

Stevus

TrickUpMySteve

I only know the two guys on this one. Ardal is from Father Ted and My Hero (both sitcoms). But it does look like it's going to be a fun series judging by this episode.

Rusty Dog

Why would I lie?

Jeffrey44

Thank you kind sir

Joshyboiiiiii

I don't know if kitana can be a weapon 🤔 I'd be a vomit monster too if I had to.share a room with Mandy and her feet. She never washes between her toes, so potatoes grow there in neat little rows 🤣🤣

Josh Read

You've done it again, Joshyboiiiiii. Many congratulations to you.

Jeffrey44

- It’s a good job Mandy didn’t have to do the “find ducks” challenge as she’d still be trying to reach the task envelope! 😉 - Watching the TV show, “Father Ted”, is an absolute MUST! I think you’d love Ardal’s character in it.

(Just) Steve

At first I thought Bridget was dressed as the Undertaker from WWE hahah

Aren

Chris's basket-ball/turtle-ball thing isn't the only time you'll see him solve a task by creating a task

Robert Allen

That's still up for debate. I could also give more examples of the benefits of lubrication, but I don't think Mandy knows much about engineering. 😅

𝑭𝒆𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒚 𝑺𝒕𝒆𝒗𝒆

A riveting anecdote sir, and an excellent example of the benefits of lubrication! One question I simply MUST have an answer for... did you survive?

Stevus

I used to be able to swallow tablets without water as long as I prepared myself. A few years ago, I was picking up a girl who often kept taxis waiting, so I thought I’d pop a couple of paracetamols while I waited. Just as I was about to swallow, she unexpectedly opened the door and got into the front seat. The tablets got stuck in my throat and started dissolving. She looked at me and said, ‘Good morning,’ and I panicked, dry-heaving in her face and continuing to choke as my life flashed before my eyes. So yes, I agree, some water first stops them from sticking and makes them easier to swallow. Thank you for reading. 🙂

𝑭𝒆𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒚 𝑺𝒕𝒆𝒗𝒆

Judi is on WILTY S15E01 but I don't think you've seen that one yet.. that's where I recognise her from I think Loving Sophie's approach to the challenges so far! PS: the smell of blue made me think of honey for some reason.. maybe as bees see in ultraviolet? weird innit

Wagoo

Oo oo just remembered, TM Junior has just started!!! Looks like it could be goooood!

Stevus

No, he's feisty, you can see it in his ears!

Stevus

I'm pretty sure most of that isn't true. But I must confess, I'm really no expert, so...

Stevus

This is gonna be GREAAAAAAAT!!! Really solid season, this one. Btw, re: A comment you made a few weeks back somewhere. I too put the pills in after the water! A friends mum, who was a nurse, recommended it and i've done it ever since. It seems like a foolproof method, yet I don't know anyone else who does it (besides my friend and his mum, but I haven't seen them in decades). Super fun reaction. Could be in for a wild ride! Thankyou, as always Miss Mandy 🤗🙌🫶

Stevus

Can you choose Kitana for the weapon? On a side note, I wonder how much custard she produces 🤔. Based on Miss Mandys stories, it could be quite a bit. At least enough to fill a boot! Nice squirrel 😁🐿️

Stevus

I never get Ardel O’Hanlon’s name right and I’ve seen loads of stuff he’s in. Here’s the 3rd vote for Father Ted. ✔️🙂

Gary Tamblyn

Could it have been a joke?

Jeffrey44

Chris Ramsey isn't 56. No clue what that bit was.

Connor Ellis

Ohh okay! 😂 who am I to argue with Mandy? 😅

AWR93

One of my favourite things about Taskmaster, Mandy, is that each series introduces me to someone that even as a Brit I'd somehow previously missed and had not been on my radar before - in this series Sophie and Bridget really grew on me a lot but Judi Love is absolutely one of those, maybe the best. A lot of "celebrity" shows here really scrape the barrel when it comes to who they class as a celeb. So when you see a name listed that you don't know then it's squeaky-bum time. Taskmaster usually doesn't let us down thankfully. It can have the opposite effect too though, sadly, where I lose a bit of respect for someone I'd previously liked. Baddiel, Al Murray, Sinnah, Father Dougal, Katherine, Charlotte, Mrs Mitchel and Webb all come to mind. Great series incoming. Thanks. Hope you enjoy too.

Things to find in a skip/dumpster - a big bag of diamonds would be nice, like gta IV? Ok then.. things you're more likely to find in a skip.. a big wad of cash? Ok, hear me out on this one... My mom used to work in a charity shop and often when somebody would pass away a lot of their belongings would be donated to the shop. I couldn't count the number of times she'd tell me something like "we found a few grand stashed in a book today" and crazy things like that - which one can only assume the families had not discovered before donating unless just wanting to donate discreetly. I mean you'd think people would check stuff, right? Even if just to ensure it was of good enough quality to donate? So the amount of things that must NOT get donated - just thrown away without anybody checking... there's a lot of lost money out there.

.

His socks should have suckies.. like those Garfield car window suckers from the 90s? Sounds like another 10/10 Karl invention to me. For when it's really windy outside.

.

TLDR; Ty Mandy. TM gud. The smell of blue .. two things instantly sprang to mind as I read that intro.. blu tack (sticky tack).. and then the smell of swimming pool chlorine. Red.. I get melting candle wax for whatever reason. The smell of pink has always been Primary School blancmange, and orange obviously smells of... bananas.

.

I used to watch my VHS of all 3 series every single day pretty much from the age of 8 till wayyyy in to my teens 😂

Jonathan Davies

Judi has been a meme more than once, so you may know her from just the internet.

YearRoundHibernater

Thank you, Mandy. 🤗🤗

𝑭𝒆𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒚 𝑺𝒕𝒆𝒗𝒆

Neither did I until Mandy told me 😂

𝑭𝒆𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒚 𝑺𝒕𝒆𝒗𝒆

Thank you for this comment; it takes the heat off me for the meme I made. 😂

𝑭𝒆𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒚 𝑺𝒕𝒆𝒗𝒆

My two favorite things about that meme are: 1) Mandy won’t understand it, and 2) I didn’t alter Mandy’s eyes; the idea came to me when I paused a video. 😂

𝑭𝒆𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒚 𝑺𝒕𝒆𝒗𝒆

Jeffrey44

But Judi Love's name is spelt (or spelled as an American would say) "Judi Love".

Jeffrey44

Judi Love is not a lawyer, she is a qualified social worker. If you bring your children up in squalid conditions, she might have to take them away and have them destroyed. She also has the state sanctioned authority to spay and/or neuter you.

Jeffrey44

That's racist! And offensive. TO WOMEN!

Jeffrey44

I second this. =D

Tez

Pretty good series start. I don't think I know most of the cast. Irish names are very misleading with pronunciation for those who don't know it. e.g. Aisling = [Ash-ling] I need to look that up actually. 🧐 We don't go skip diving as such, but I have one of those dads who "liberates" 😏 certain items. There's at least 8 pint glasses in the cupboard that we've "accidently" taken home. He even once found a near-new chainsaw that had fallen off someone's truck in the middle of a country road. Free!!!! Tho we once did genuinely accidently go home with a McDonald's tray, ah well. Every time him and my mum are out, she says "ooh those are nice." And he goes "d'you want em?" 🤣

Benjamin Taylor-Yates

Please, please! Watch Father Ted. (or did you already and I missed it?) - You will know at least one of them... ...and yes, he's Irish.

Maik Kellerhals

You know what Steve, I never had you down as feisty 😂😂

AWR93

👀 Did somebody say.... Oh, never mind. 😁

𝑭𝒆𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒚 𝑺𝒕𝒆𝒗𝒆

Can already tell this is gonna be a feisty series 😂 Chris’ painting was an amazing attempt! Especially when you saw it side by side with the original artwork! Also I think you’ve seen an episode of catsdown with Chris, he was on Jon’s team and was pretty bad! 🤣

AWR93

Series 13 is one of my favourites. If you haven’t already, it’s well worth watching Alex’s interview with Bridget Christie on the TM YouTube channel. Their dynamic is unlike any other; no one can push Alex’s buttons like Bridget.

Abel Bracegirdle

Chris isn't related to Gordon, they have different nationalities and last names, haha (Chris is English, Gordon Scottish. Chris Ramsey and Gordon Ramsay) Anyway, this series is great, everyone is fantastic! They're all super fun and there's a lot of good studio banter. Judy especially is delightfully chaotic, and I think we all got a crush on Bridget while watching this season <3

You certainly had a great time with this one Mandy 😀 this will be another great series for you to enjoy 🙌 I challenge you to a duel. You pick the weapons. The winner gets Kitana

Josh Read

I don't remember much about this season, only saw it once so I'm excited to watch it again along with you. The one thing I do remember is having a massive crush on Sophie hahaha!

Ryan W.

Well she's on the last season of Blackadder now so perhaps there's a chance of Father Ted soon. Gotta be high up on the watch list as it's a classic.

Gray

I don't think it's weird to crush on Bridget Christie. But to crush extra hard on her when she's dressed as Lee Van Cleef? I don't know. Asking for a friend.

Tony Mingoia

What is the sound of blue? La-bu-de-la-bu-di, la-bu-de... uuuurrgghhh... I hate that song... oh yeah... HIIIII👋😁

Stevus

On the back of this series you HAVE to watch Father Ted! An absolute British classic and easily my favourite comedy series of all time! 🙏🙏🙏

Jonathan Davies

Judi's facial expressions are so funny, her physical and verbal delivery of her lines is priceless

hasty rewrite

Hey Mandy! Judi Love was the one from a couple of weeks ago that I told you you’d get to know her very soon 😇 she’s absolute mayhem and hilarious on this series

Jonathan Davies

This is a god-tier season, all the contestants are hilarious in different ways, the tasks are brilliant, and it has the best in-studio bantz of any season except maybe season 7.

hasty rewrite

FIRST BOSH

Joshyboiiiiii
