Taskmaster - S8 E10 - Clumpy Swayey Clumsy Man.

First Taskmaster Tuesday of the year!! YAAAAYYYY!!! 

Also, I am not too sure about the background. I also tried a different one on another video... we'll see. Haha

Anyway, stay curly folks! Hope you are all as giddy as I am, and if not, hope you will soon get there!

Hahahhaha, I love this comment 💜🤣

Mandy Cane Lane

What's a zee?

Z is for Zed

Hiya Mandy! 4:00 Greg: “Majestic trophy, forged from the bones from Adonis” Re: your new background - lol I can see a 1 pixel row of your *old* background sticking out on the bottom row of the recording, I hope you fixed that up for future videos! 6:00 Re: Greg’s man bun, Mandy: “I take it back sir, I am sorry, you pull it off” yeah please pull it off now Greg! Ghastly! 🤣 11:50 Agreed, we’ve heard of the states’ meaning of a “rubber”. My father/grandfather also used to call me out on this word. They’d also pedantically feign ignorance if I ever asked for a ruler, Instead of a rule. They were both in the engineering trade and in their jargon, a rule measures straight lines whereas a ruler is someone that rules 🤦‍♂️ But in school we called them rulers! 😖 what’s a child supposed to do? hahaha Re: Tasks to make stuff disappear. Mandy: “I’m genuinely surprised nobody ever tried to bury it, like make a little hole in the grass, ya put it in, ya cover it and oh! Where’d it go? It’s gone!” Also Mandy: “I get that Alex would just dig it up and say ‘there it is’” Actually in the studio, I’d have a VERY solid defence against digging it up, and saying “there it is”! Compare that to burying a dead relative. We make a little hole in the grass, put them in, cover them up and say “they’re gone!”. Nobody would ever try to correct you by digging them up and saying “there they are!” 🤣 Therefore - ya can’t simply dig something up and say they’re not gone! 😢 Yep, two clearly distinct pronunciations of eraser: British: uh·ray·zuh, American: uh·ray·sr Now, if we spelled it eracer, maybe we’d pronounce it like an American. Wait a minute?! So how do you pronounce erase? Surely not with a hard s sound too?! (Erace) 21:42(ish) Greg: “This is unprecedented” Obviously, coming from a Spanish speaking country, I’m not sure this word has infiltrated your national zeitgeist, but in the UK, and I believe US this word has taken over describing “anything” that’s not happened for a just little while, especially in the news. F8cking “unprecedented” my arse! It really grinds my gears ⚙️ It began when describing the pandemic, and its never-seen-before “unprecedented” problems etc. Now, it’s casually tossed into any a sentence to make it sound more sensational! More like “Unprecedented!” (Since the last time it happened) 😡 I’m sure David Mitchell could explain my fury more eloquently 🤣 22:30 Mandy: “3? Nu uh, right?” Ok, so luckily the taskmaster wiki has a page dedicated to “Bonus Points” so I can sound all nerdy while just reading off from a list 🤓🤣 Series 4: Lolly had *two* bonus points for having to herd chickens (when everyone else herded dogs, remember?) Series 5: There was a “bonus point” round, where contestants voted who they think should receive 5 bonus points. Sally won the 5 bonus points (tho they weren’t the kind randomly awarded by Greg) Yeah 3 was the highest generously awarded by Greg up to that point (and I didn’t read further 😜) 26:50 Paul: “I’m dyspraxic” yeah had to look that up, fyi: difficulty in performing coordinated movements 29:54 Mandy: “that system is the best for overall human health” or Like Alex put it earlier, “It allows your body to come out of continence mode and go into elimination mode” 👍😆 Can’t remember if it was Jackie Chan or Bruce Lee? Maybe he was specifically recollecting this scene in The Way of the Dragon: https://youtu.be/w_u_a9SIdbM?t=15 and explaining it like that’s just how he normally uses the western toilet. 32:10 Did you get any Wizard of Oz references in Sian’s production there? In the film, the Wicked Witch of the East got squashed by a house, and similarly had legs poking out. And Dorothy’s “No place like home” clicking her ruby red heels 3 times, although Alex clicked them four times 🤦‍♂️ They might be obvious references, but you never know! 40:50 No amount of editing can save some tasks from Alex Horne corpsing 🤣 I’m ignoring your Do! or Do Not! knock the bells off?! Cos I’m assuming you’ll work it out soon! 59:39 Mandy: “There’s a word for it but, it’s not even having feelings for them” You’ve grown attached to them, this series, yeah? We shall mourn series 8 contestants while welcoming in the new batch from series 9! 😁 I hope this year’s a big year for you Mandy G 🫶

Finally remembered to watch the slightly older stuff but another question for Mandy, how often a day do you feed your cats and at what time? Plus what do you give them?

Joshyboiiiiii

LOL! Nope, I haven't used it before 2024. Maybe I can tone down the colors a bit, make it less distracting. I gotta play a bit till I find the right fit. Thank you for your input! Also, I haven't deleted any streams🤔

Mandy Cane Lane

Hiya Mandy! - I haven't seen the reaction yet lol - I'm still a few Taskmaster episodes behind 🤭 Since you mentioned the background in the description, I came here to say - this "new" background looks vaguely familiar 🤔 did I see this in a very early reaction video? I cannot find any early youtube video of yours with this magenta / green background yet I cannot find any old 1, 2, 3+ hour video streams of yours either 😆 so "somebody" may have already curated their back catalogue and removed the evidence hehe Anyway, the background's trying to compete for my attention, argh!! 🤣

𝙶𝚊𝚛𝚢 𝙼𝚘𝚛𝚐𝚊𝚗

Mine are 🌈🤗🙌🏻🤣😅💜

Mandy Cane Lane

Lol :P 🖤🕊️👍❤️✌️ are my go too emojis!

TheHigh

Feel like I should have knew that other than Eddie izzard tbf, way to easy 😂

Joshyboiiiiii

Eddie Izzard, Rhod Gilbert, Karl Pilkington, Stephen Merchant and Bob Mortimer!

Mandy Cane Lane

Having looked again, it appears, Mr High, you already had 5 thumbs up (including your pic), so my gesture meant NOTHING! 😔 I guess I'll let you win that one.

Stevus

I was going to suggest Futurama, but then I'd be tempted to do it and ruin it for Miss Mandy.

Stevus

I think that's what you meant. It was your story, or your dads anyway.

Stevus

I've seen about 10 episodes of Futurama and never seen the us office, I'll sort one out for tomorrow tho x

Joshyboiiiiii

🤣🤣🤣

Mandy Cane Lane

HAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAH! You guys got me all wrong! 🤣🤣🤣 I like Futurama. I have seen the US Office a bunch of times too

Mandy Cane Lane

I said that, didn't I? 😅

Mandy Cane Lane

🥹🌈🥰💜

Mandy Cane Lane

THEY WERE ON A BREAK!!!!

Joshyboiiiiii

Watching Joe and Paul do the blindfolded buggy task was one of my favorite tasks so far! 🤣🤣 I've "heard" (more like read) that Season 9 is great fun too! 🌈🙌🏻

Mandy Cane Lane

Maybe! Haha, I no longer remember, but sentimental sounds right 😅🤣 Also, thank you 🥰

Mandy Cane Lane

I honestly have no idea Josh. I am scanning my brain for "big argument" and it just gives me scenes of Ross and Rachel breaking up (The first time) lol

Mandy Cane Lane

I gave it a heart Steven, but I was afraid to read 😅😅

Mandy Cane Lane

I hope you weren't painting your nails as you made the potato salad 😱 I issue you a potato salad contest I say mine is better than yours 😎

Josh Read

Hahahah, you made me feel like a small dog shaking as I watch stuff Paul 🤣🤣

Mandy Cane Lane

🥺🥹 Thank you all so much. 💜 I really liked this line up! And Paul might have been my favorite underdog yet!

Mandy Cane Lane

Lol Jeffrey! And awesome to hear Sara! When you guys are excited for episodes to come, it get me hyped up too! 🙌🏻🤗

Mandy Cane Lane

That is very cool for her! Unlike Iain constantly exclaiming he will be a champion! Lol 🤣🤣 And Joe and Paul doing the blindfolded taak has to be one of my favorite Taskmaster moments ever! It was edited so wonderfully too!! 🤣🤣

Mandy Cane Lane

Well you pulled it off extremely well lady

Joshyboiiiiii

I would say confused shock 😅🤪

Mandy Cane Lane

Hahah, yes I did, lots! Thank you! 🥰 And my potato salad is always a hit 💅🏻🤪

Mandy Cane Lane

It's a bitter sweet thing! 😅

Mandy Cane Lane

Maybe "contrived" is the word you're looking for Rusty?

paul

Loved yesterday's xfm. Good job on the slide show Rusty! Can you imagine how confused Mandy would be without those visual aids to help explain early 2000s British culture to her. I couldn't believe it when she hadn't heard of Atomic Kitten. Keep that in mind for Rockbusters, Mandy. "AK, exploding pet..." 😉

paul

I wasn't that keen on it either. I don't think stand up is really his strong suit. The weird thing is, he's incredible at roasting celebrities at the golden gloves. If only he could transfer some of that energy over to his stand up shows. I guess it's hard without the celebs there... but then Jimmy Carr seems to manage it. 🤔

paul

Yeah I'm not a massive IT Crowd fan either, although I'm a big fan of a lot of the people in it: Noel Fielding, Matt Berry, Chris Morris, Richard Ayoade, Adam Buxton (just one episode but still, shoutout to Buckles!) I think I've watched it once when it first aired and maybe two more times on dvd. If it wasn't for Mandy, I wouldn't be watching it again for a fourth time.

paul

I saw this too. I didn't think it was his best one. Some of the comedy felt forced almost. There's another word I'm trying to think of but I dunno what it is now :) hehe.

Rusty Dog

It is true, Mandy brings so much more to the stuff she watches. I've never been an IT Crowd fan (well let's say I never watched it as it's not my typical style of comedy). But watching it with Mandy is different as I'm more waiting for her reactions to the episodes so I end up looking forward to them. That's when you know you have a host who's good at what they do.

Rusty Dog

Don't worry, it was just a joke. But Australians have been eating kangaroo since before it was called Australia and even the Abrahamic God even existed. This next bit may be a bit disconcerting, so if you've a queasy stomach, discontinue reading. So the favoured food of the Australian Aboriginals (at least in the Nth eastern regions) is no longer Kangaroo but something they call 'puddy tat'. It is however a necessary evil to cull the feral cat population as they predate on the harmless cute adorable fluffy etc native animals. There I go, bringing down the mood again. Puppy's are fun! Think about puppy's... puppy's and ice cream.

Stevus

I'll see your 👍👍👍👍, and raise you 👍👍👍👍👍

Stevus Minimus

And guns! Don't forget the guns.

Stevus

She is American so she will like Jeopardy, The Super Bowl and local news (especially live car chases). Could you do some questions based on those?

Jeffrey44

👍👍👍👍

TheHigh

Random question of the day. Whose the 5 comedians you'd have on your mount Rushmore (ano it's 4 but I'm being generous today)

Joshyboiiiiii

Mandy. What questions would you like in your quiz? What other tv shows other than friends and the Simpsons do you like? I wanna do 10 questions but not easy ones, maybe 2 questions spanning over 5 shows 🤷

Joshyboiiiiii

🥺🥺

Joshyboiiiiii

A kangaroo thought it should have my sandwich, I disagreed. Result - Roo kebabs. STEVE DOESN'T SHARE FOOD!!! 🤪jk

Stevus

'Thorough evacuation'?

Stevus

Good day to you Mandy, our hearts brim with glee, The Taskmaster beckons, and we share it with thee, Your laughter and joy, your one fishnet glove, We come for the tasks, but it's you that we love 🥰

Stevus

Talking of COVID-19, If anyone remembers that, at least Taskmaster returned to normal (at least on screen) quicker than WILTY which only returned to normal (at least on screen) for the first time for the Christmas 2023 episode. That's a long time to be sitting at individual desks even if they were all waterproof, apart from the middle one.

Jeffrey44

The infinite sadness

Stevus

I like lou. That's awesome I was wondering when they would do that

Josh Read

This was a really good series! Lou with her winners jumpsuit was very confident 🤣 Also for anyone who doesn’t know, Champion of Champions 3 (winners of series 11-15) is airing on channel 4 on the 14th of January ✌️

AWR93

Sadness

Josh Read

Really fun episode. The blindfold buggy task was brilliant. Loved your reaction to that. Best part of the season I think in terms of your reaction. Some of them did really well too on that one! The erazer (hehe) task was cool also. Can't believe Lou chewed it up. She's a little nutty which was great to watch with her all season. Yeah what a great set of guests we had. Looking fwd to Series 9. Oh and the word you wanted for how you felt about them... was it 'sentimental' ?

Rusty Dog

Sounds like we had similar experiences then. I think I heard about Taskmaster when it first started, so I wasn't coming off a binge by series 8 but I guess the novelty was starting to wear off by this point. I also feel like the tasks have gotten worse over the years in the sense that they're so convoluted I often find myself realizing minutes into the task that I wasn't paying attention when they read it out. This is also where having Mandy in the mix helps. I liked how simple the tasks were early on and how they invited multiple solutions. I think of throwing the tea bag from series 1. Roisin dropped it from a step ladder, Frank wetted it, Romesh clustered many mugs together, Josh attempted to redefine "mug" to include wheelbarrow, and Tim Key turned the entire fence into a massive funnel. My favourite part about Taskmaster is 100% the studio banter, especially Greg and Alex.

paul

I've heard of melancholy before but only from a YouTube video, can't remember what it means tho

Joshyboiiiiii

Random question of the day (I'll try and get a tv quiz sorted for tomorrow) what's the biggest argument you've ever had and what happened afterwards?

Joshyboiiiiii

Same for me tbh. I think season 8 just ended when I discovered Taskmaster and binged through it. I think I got some fatigue near the end, because this series was a lot better than I initally thought.

DahDutcher

Tbh, I almost completely blocked out S10, it felt so weird and dead without an audience and the distance between the contestants. Only remember a few moments and absolutely loving K (first letter to not spoil their name).

DahDutcher

It will also be the last series (or season as an American would say) made for the television channel (or television station as an American would say) called Dave (or David as an American would say).

Jeffrey44

Have you heard of the emotions/feelings called ennui, melancholy or nonplussed? I don't know if any of them apply here. I do like those words though.

Jeffrey44

Oh by the way, I watched Ricky's latest Netflix special Armageddon yesterday. I think it just came out this xmas. It felt very weird to be watching something of Ricky's without an excitable little redhead in the bottom left corner of the screen! 😉

paul

This was the only series of Taskmaster that I just couldn't get into when it first aired. I tried the first episode about three times and kept switching it off halfway through because I found the line up a bit dull. Anyway, I've enjoyed watching it through for the first time over the last ten weeks. Your reactions add a lot to it Mandy.

paul

Excited for season 9! It's a very fun season. Also it will be the last season before covid hits.

SaRa

Also yeah Lou really smashed this series especially on prize and live tasks. Winning by 8 points despite the 2 points lost too is very impressive. I loved your reaction to the blindfold task! And you are right they had to knock bells off, high 5 then don't knock bells off. I also liked that Lou had faith in herself to wear a sash saying Series 8 Winner and it actually worked.

Lee Dellbridge

I can't quite tell what expression you have in this thumbnail, is it disgust? Is it concern I dunno 🤷

Joshyboiiiiii

Happy new year Mandy 🎉 did you have fun with your family? Was the potato salad a hit?

Josh Read

Always sad to say goodbye to a cast but another is just around the corner!
