2023-12-10 18:12:01 +0000 UTCRandom question of the day. If you weren't watching random British shite what would you be doing in your spare time away from work?
Joshyboiiiiii
2023-12-10 18:10:42 +0000 UTCI do regret picking Joe! And you are acting like I was defending the nacho sushi! I never tried it ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ
Mandy Cane Lane
2023-11-11 00:50:02 +0000 UTCIf you replace "homosexuals" with "queers" you said exactly that, and "spaz" is also considered offensive in the US, though that's not incredibly well known unfortunately. Not knowing something is offensive is perfectly fine if you learn from the experience when someone informs you, it's okay to be wrong as long as you take a step back and don't get defensive about it. As others have stated, regardless of word choice, suggesting someone guess who is a part of the LGTBQ+ community and who isn't in a lineup as a "bit of fun" is very inappropriate for a number of reasons. Saying this as an additional learning opportunity and not an attack, if you'd like suggestions for informational sources about these topics I'd be happy to supply.

2023-11-10 01:24:53 +0000 UTCHiya Mandy! Hope you had a happy halloween! Your demonic clown character is wearing a healthy amount of blush โบ๏ธ really brings the blood out to the cheeks, and nose ๐ Iโm also liking your black makeup effect, the jaggedy wavy patchy outline reminds me of lightning fractals that you can burn in wood with an electric current https://youtu.be/BxjtCAp9JWo Aha, a demonic clown zapped by lightning! Now that would bring out the color to the cheeks lol 5:02 A pair of, but one thing? โฆ a pair of, but one thing? โฆ hmm, a pair of glasses, a pair of pliers, a pair of tweezers, a pair of binoculars, a pair of tongs, a pair of handcuffs ๐ 8:04 Mandy - regretting picking Joe already? ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ 17:56 I vaguely recall having caviar, the black balled stuff, served to me as an hors d'oeuvre at some function or ball years ago, but either I wasnโt paying enough attention, it was unremarkable, or I had the cheap stuff ๐ It had a salty tangy taste, and is gone in one mouthful ๐ google tells me the good stuff is meant to taste โcompletely surprising on the palateโ. I was gonna say youโve probably had salmon roe at a sushi restaurant, but I do my due diligence ๐ง and CTRL+F the comments to see if anyone else has mentioned caviar. So WTF Mandy? Chicken and cheddar topped sushi rolls with nacho bits?! And hereโs me thinking Yo Sushi! our national chain of sushi restaurants were taking the piss, serving katsu curry on their conveyor belts. I thought it was a similar mish-mash clash of cuisines to appeal to the UKโs appetite for popular Indian food ๐คฃ A quick google search tells me katsu refers to the chopped meat, and itโs just Japanese curry, which was actually introduced to Japan by the British via their colonisation of India at the time. So maybe Iโm half right ๐ But WTF Mandy? Chicken and cheddar topped sushi rolls with nacho bits?! Get out with ya! 27:12 Blu-Tack - that light blue putty-like blob, very popular here to adhere posters to walls. Itโs a ubiquitous brand name here in the UK, synonymous with any generic adhesive putty, a bit like hoover is to vacuum cleaner. 49:05 Iain walking across the field just discovered he was neglectfully out of shape due to his decadent lifestyle! โฆ I believe. An underlying health issue, nah heโs a lazy bastard. 54:24 *cutโs long paragraph of duplicate research* - Itโs a Japanese anime / manga season. Thanks for another TM Tuesday reaction Mandy G ๐ค

2023-11-07 02:01:10 +0000 UTCI have found that a lot of the spoilers are from the last episode mostly. ๐ฅฒ Maybe if I can remember, when I finish the series! ๐ค
Mandy Cane Lane
2023-11-04 01:21:15 +0000 UTCI would second that idea, that's how good titles are!
Ed Still
2023-11-03 21:29:28 +0000 UTCHaha, I bet your lil Nephew crushed it!! ๐๐ป๐ค All very informative, thank you Lee!
Mandy Cane Lane
2023-11-02 23:27:27 +0000 UTCHello Sara-Jayne I am not 90, thank you for asking, but I am old enough to remember when "gay" was considered the wrong word to use. Times and attitudes change. Homosexual is a scientific term. I'm not aware of any issue with using the word homosexual in the UK, where I am from, and wouldn't have an issue if someone used that word to describe me. I didn't want to use the word lesbian because that only applies to females. I didn't say "Hey Mandy can you spot the queers!?", nobody did or anything similar to that so I'm not sure what you are getting at there. I've seen estimates that anywhere from 10% to 50% of people are homosexual (or gay if you prefer), even at the lower end, that's a pretty big community, if that is what you want to call it, so I don't think anyone can claim to speak for all of them/us. If homosexual is considered an offensive term where you live, I'm actually very interested in that. The difference between American and British English that Mandy Cane Lane's videos bring up fascinates me. In the UK, the word "spaz" would be considered offensive but I don't have an issue when Mandy Cane Lane or another American uses it (I think I've only heard her use it once) because it's part of American English and I like the way we all use different words.

2023-11-02 20:29:47 +0000 UTCI think it would be a jolly good idea to watch the opening titles when you get to final episode in each series. What do you feel about that idea?
Jeffrey44
2023-11-02 16:58:25 +0000 UTCDid you know, The Taskmaster (Greg Davies, 55) appeared on Dick and Dom in da Bungalow before he was famous? He was uncredited but played the part of a tall man. Yes he did, it's true.
Jeffrey44
2023-11-02 15:02:55 +0000 UTCJeffrey is a bit of an odd sausage sometimes in the things he says. But I agree it's very outdated and personally I don't think it's important to know who anyone is sexually.
Lee Dellbridge
2023-11-02 14:10:05 +0000 UTCFinally getting round to seeing this. Hope you had a nice Halloween. Interesting you mentioned Wednesday because my little Nephew dressed as her. He also had a plastic hand on the shoulder lol. Shirley Bassey is a famous Welsh singer from the 60s and 70s. She's best known worldwide as the singer of 3 James Bond themes namely Goldfinger, Moonraker and Diamonds Are Forever. Also gauge is pronounced gage like cage :)

2023-11-02 14:04:35 +0000 UTCFor people between the ages off 25-35 they were our childhood! Haha you should check out the vids on them playing โBogiesโ it was all anybody played in British playgrounds during the 2000โs ๐คฃ

2023-11-02 06:46:50 +0000 UTCThat's a pretty good description actually haha๐
Rusty Dog
2023-11-02 06:38:10 +0000 UTCI always skip it in shows that have small compilations of scenes as an opening, because I find it spoils a lot of scenes. I like being surprised by stuff xD
Mandy Cane Lane
2023-11-02 06:37:54 +0000 UTCHAHAHAHA! Well, on my 35th birthday I would like to have a place of my own and be traveling. Still want to be spreading the joy though!
Mandy Cane Lane
2023-11-02 06:36:21 +0000 UTCHahahaha,I was just being goofy, no idea how I did that! xD And The makeup look was supposed to be a kind of demonic clown, but someone said Joker meets Kiss and I love that!! Haha!
Mandy Cane Lane
2023-11-02 06:35:26 +0000 UTCThank you! And I did, did you?
Mandy Cane Lane
2023-11-02 06:32:18 +0000 UTCHaha, love it! No idea who they are still, but sounds like you are happy about it, so I am happy. =D
Mandy Cane Lane
2023-11-02 06:32:04 +0000 UTCOMG I LOVE IT!!!! xD
Mandy Cane Lane
2023-11-02 06:31:18 +0000 UTCHahaha! Been there, done that!
Mandy Cane Lane
2023-11-02 06:31:09 +0000 UTCDo you ever watch the titles Mandy or di you always skip it? It's one of thise shows where I really feel the title sequence enhances what you are about to watch, always gets me right in the mood for a bit of glorious nonsense.
Ed Still
2023-11-01 21:36:34 +0000 UTCRandom question of the day. So in 5 years on your 30th birthday what do you want to be doing in life?
Joshyboiiiiii
2023-11-01 17:51:15 +0000 UTCIn terms of the tasks, not the best episode they've had. But it was fun nonetheless. Your makeup was artistic. :) Not sure what you were going for, but it was cool. It enhanced some of your expressions, hehe. The way you said 'So fancy' at 18:00 was, to me, just a spot on perfect posh English kinda accent. I mean, you nailed it. I dunno where you heard that accent from but, more of that please. You should try an entire YT reaction vid in an English accent :) haha. Thanks for the enjoyment as always.
Rusty Dog
2023-11-01 13:23:11 +0000 UTCYou look amazing Mandy. Did you enjoy your Halloween?
Josh Read
2023-11-01 11:16:41 +0000 UTCOMG!!!! Massive coincidence but I actually had Dom from Dick and Dom check into my hotel about a month ago! ๐คฃ he was really nice and funny and I gave him a free upgrade for his room hahaha 100% a true story
Jonathan Davies
2023-11-01 10:15:53 +0000 UTCAmazing look Mandy! I'd describe it as "The Joker joins KISS" ๐

Mandy Cane Lane
2023-11-01 04:07:58 +0000 UTCCool to know! I am embarrassed to admit that I thought he was Irish. I have heard so much of Scottish accents, I didn't think he sounded like any I have heard before ๐คญ๐
Mandy Cane Lane
2023-11-01 04:07:47 +0000 UTCI have heard Matthew! That is such wonderful news!!! ๐๐ป๐ค And thank you, that is exactly what I was going for with the makeup ๐คช
Mandy Cane Lane
2023-11-01 04:06:29 +0000 UTCNot a date, a friend of mine. Been a friend for about 8 years now ๐ค
Mandy Cane Lane
2023-11-01 04:04:57 +0000 UTCJeffrey are you 90? Id rather you didnโt call us homosexuals. Itโs an incredibly outdated medical term that was used to describe us when we were considered a medical issues in the 70โs. Weโre gay or lesbian. Also wtf!? Hey Mandy can you spot the queers!? Wtf kind of a question is that. How is who the contestants are attracted to in any way relevant. How is singling us out a fun game? Itโs not very nice to be singled out for something weโre born with that most of face abuse for at least on a weekly basis. Not the first comment of yours Iโve seen thats weird about our community.
Sara-Jayne
2023-11-01 03:58:16 +0000 UTClooking awesome!! ๐ฆ๐ป๐

2023-11-01 02:04:57 +0000 UTCNo problem Matthew, glad you enjoyed it.
๐ญ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐บ๐๐๐๐
2023-10-31 23:38:04 +0000 UTCJust for your info, Iain is the original spelling, often shortened to Ian in most countries. But Iain is a Scottish name and Iain Sterling is indeed Scottish. Iain and Ian are both Gaelic versions of the Biblical name John.

Mandy Cane Lane
2023-10-31 17:52:43 +0000 UTCI have an idea, but never understood why it mattered what people's sexual preferences are, unless they are into things that are non consented or hurt people. ๐คท๐ปโโ๏ธ
Mandy Cane Lane
2023-10-31 17:52:15 +0000 UTCLol, yeah, I saw your comment and that is what confused me! No worries though Mr 44 ๐ค

Mandy Cane Lane
2023-10-31 17:45:17 +0000 UTCYour Halloween make-up looks cool like an alternative Harley Quinn but at the same time it looks like you've gone crazy when eating one to many Oreos. lol
JokerDanny
2023-10-31 17:29:41 +0000 UTCI think they changed the seal because 8 is considered a lucky number in China and Japan, so they changed the font to look like Chinese characters. I think that also explains the background music.
Robert Allen
2023-10-31 17:21:12 +0000 UTCThe TM logo and music are just because this season is Japanese inspired, hence the room decor and anime style TM portrait.
Krista
2023-10-31 17:11:15 +0000 UTCRhod's TM series aired in 2018, and he announced his cancer dx in 2022, so I'd say no correlation between those
Robert Allen
2023-10-31 17:06:51 +0000 UTCAbsolutely no idea how youโd film it for content but if you ever want to do more Taskmaster content once youโve caught up with the TV show thereโs a Taskmaster podcast thatโs fantastic ๐ช

Marvelous Martin
2023-10-31 16:23:05 +0000 UTCPaul has talked quite openly about his time on Taskmaster. It was a few weeks after the first episode aired that a doctor gave him the diagnosis. He said that even during the filming of the studio segments (that obviously are filmed last), he didn't know he had parkinsons. But he could feel that something was wrong as he was struggiling to keep up with the discussion/banter and his brain just wasn't processing like it used to. Something positive did come out of his Taskmaster appearances as medical schools in New Zealand are using clips of him on Taskmaster to teach future doctors about spotting early stage Parkinsons symptoms. Paul seems really proud about that.
MH
2023-10-31 15:18:08 +0000 UTCSturgeon caviar isn't very expensive and it's very tasty. Never tried the expensive ones.
Snefru
2023-10-31 14:58:09 +0000 UTCAs well as guessing who said the title, who wins and who wins the series, could you also try to guess which contestant or contestants are known homosexuals? I haven't watched this episode yet, so it may be obvious to you by now. There was one small clue in the first episode.
Jeffrey44
2023-10-31 14:39:58 +0000 UTCI said that your uploads will be an hour later for your UK chums (or limeys as an American would say). I was wrong and, for that, I am very sorry. Uploads actually appear an hour earlier for your UK pals (or tea drinking wankers as an American would say).
Jeffrey44
2023-10-31 14:22:48 +0000 UTCI think most sushi restaurants put caviar as a decoration for their sushi rolls. You've probably ordered that at some point but maybe didn't know what it was at the time.

2023-10-31 14:20:19 +0000 UTCShortly after this season was filmed, Paul Sinha was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. In a recent interview, he said he feels he only has about 5 years left in his career as his condition worsens.

Joshyboiiiiii
2023-10-31 13:10:51 +0000 UTCYes it is now an hour earlier than usual. I grew up in South Africa where they also don't use daylight savings time, and it still confuses me every time here in Scotland.
