Taskmaster - S8 E1 - Hello.

Hahah, take your time! 🤗✨️

Mandy Cane Lane

Think I prefer this lineup to the Rhod Gilbert/James Acaster one. I’ll catch up on these in maybe another year or so.

Julian T

I grew up with iain on the tv so I knew iain was spelt iain 😂 I guess Lou kept her socks on due to creepy fuckers on the Internet 🤷

Josh sloan

Straight away great line up, love iain Stirling and you'll probably know this already but you'll have seen Joe as he played Simon on that episode of the inbetweeners you watched 🙂

Josh sloan

I think it started off great! Can't wait to watch more!! 🤗

Mandy Cane Lane

Ahh, makes sense. Sad that our world works that way, no?

Mandy Cane Lane

Me too! It started off great!

Mandy Cane Lane

HAHAHAHHAHA! No. I like sleeping. 🤪

Mandy Cane Lane

Hey Rusty! I think you mught be right about Paul, I too think he will be the underdog this season! And I have already gotten to you about the names list. I know you didn't leave 🫶🏻

Mandy Cane Lane

I have always wanted to read The Hitchhiker's Guides to the Galaxy! And poor Paul. Life is so cruel 😔

Mandy Cane Lane

My eyes did not get caught! Lol, can't even remember now 😅

Mandy Cane Lane

I was just about to type all of this but thankfully I read the comments first haha he spoke about it on the taskmaster podcast a few months ago

Jonathan Davies

Ahh, right. Now I feel like a proper ass hat. Thought his hand was shaking because of the mere desperation of his hello screams.

Mandy Cane Lane

I think that's almost certainly why you saw his hands shaking using the baby monitor in the first episode. Because you see it again in later tasks where he wasn't shouting

I-Love-My-Brick

Really great reaction, really hope everyone really enjoys this series which is underrated by the random, but is a real slow burner. Sian in particular is adorable ❤️

Ed Still

I imagine that Lou kept her socks on to avoid ending up on Wikifeet or something because the banana thing could be pretty sexualised.

GrandLineReview

Looking forward to this one ☝️

I think we need a Patreon Annabelle reaction now. You sold it so well.

Jason Webb

Cool to see Sian Gibson in this. I'll be rooting for her. Good episode and I liked the tasks. I think Mr Robe (the guy who laid down to get the doughnuts) is going to be this seasons Phil Wang. :) Looking forward to this one! Oh and it seems you missed my name out of the Star list. I've not left :)

Each season has its own special location, but the ones from 6 & 7 weren't very eye-catching, especially compared to the train station here. The gazebos are near the TM house, so they don't really count as a "special" location.

Robert Allen

Lmao! Will pay more attention to him 🤗 Sucks about the Parkinsons though 😔

Mandy Cane Lane

Yeah, that makes more sense actually.

Jeffrey44

It's actually a train museum. Maybe they filmed there out of season. On one of the days (Joe Thomas' day), there was snow on the ground. No one wants to visit a railway museum (or railroad museum as an American would say) in the snow!

Jeffrey44

I think Paul is great in this series. He's super funny and at the time of filming the tasks he had been recently diagnosed with Parkinson's so it was great to see him really giving the tasks his all considering. Also its quite amusing to see him swearing as the quiz/gameshow he's usually on its family friendly and he's a serious and intelligent man who goes up against contestants to try to reduce how much money they win lol

BazMan01

I'm sure you will be fine, but maybe a sleep is in order to rest up 🤣 another great series to enjoy with the living legend herself 🙂

Josh Read

Actually, that makes sense, you are forgiven lol🤗

𝑭𝒆𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒚 𝑺𝒕𝒆𝒗𝒆

Stephen Merchant as a contestant would be just freakin' awesome!

Mandy Cane Lane

It was due! Now let's hope the fire doesn't burn too many cells this time 😅

Mandy Cane Lane

Also amazing news for Rhod! That is wonderful, thank you for sharing! 🙌🏻🤗

Mandy Cane Lane

OMG Stevie!!! HAHHAHAHA!

Mandy Cane Lane

HAHAHHAHAHHAA. I will let you watch 🤪

Mandy Cane Lane

Hahahahha! 🤣🤣Alabado! 🙌🏻

Mandy Cane Lane

It was a great one! It was so cute how almost all of them were super into it! (Side eyes Paul* 👀)

Mandy Cane Lane

Hahahhaa, that is just fine, I scheduled at my Youtube time for lack of having a video there today. 🤗 Won't do it again, Lol

Mandy Cane Lane

Taskmaster Tuesday silly!

Mandy Cane Lane

Yes! That was it!

Mandy Cane Lane

I was impressed there was nobody in the train yard! 🤪

Mandy Cane Lane

Little Alex Horne posted an Askmaster video recently (within the past week) and he said this series has his favourite (or favorite as an American would say) location. He also said he would like to get Stephen Merchant as a contestant.

Jeffrey44

Hahahahhahahaha! It is 2 hours early because I didn't have a Youtube video for today, so figured I should just schedule this on that time because I know it is a lunch break for many of you 🤗

Mandy Cane Lane

Her brain is on fire 🔥

Josh Read

I asked an American why they dropped the 'U' and he said " It dates back to the Declaration of Independence, we kept the land and got rid of U" I thought it was a good comeback.

𝑭𝒆𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒚 𝑺𝒕𝒆𝒗𝒆

Ha ha. "Great reaction". This is a good joke based on double meaning. It could mean "Great reaction to Taskmaster. Nice video." or "Great reaction to certain metals. Nice big tongue". I like your sense of humour (or humor as an American would say).

Jeffrey44

I should have known you would investigate the contestants lol. I also know all about tongue swelling. I had mine pierced once and soon realized I was allergic to certain metals. Great reaction Mandy this should be a good season. Oh, and Iain is a Scottish name meaning God is gracious. Just read Rhod Gilbert has been given his first all clear cancer scan, so that's cool. Thanks 🤗

𝑭𝒆𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒚 𝑺𝒕𝒆𝒗𝒆

What do you mean 'TT'? Tommy Tit? Bloody disgusting!

Jeffrey44

Joe Thomas is from The Inbetweeners. You may have figured it out I don't know it's not 2pm yet🤣

𝑭𝒆𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒚 𝑺𝒕𝒆𝒗𝒆

Oooh it works!!! The embeddador! Alabado sea el senor del pollo!!

SynphamyMusic

It's a very competitive field, but if you were to rank all the Taskmaster tasks in terms of how much fun they look to compete in, the "get as close to Alex as possible without noticing him" task from this episode has to be the best they've ever done. Probably my favourite task from any season of the show.

hasty rewrite

Maybe she gone done a typo in the time or maybe the clocks have changed in Mandy's part of the world, although that would only account for an hour probably. Maybe this is actually 22 hours late and should have come out yesterday. I can't wait to find out the exciting reason behind the unusual posting time.

Jeffrey44

Mandy! you are early. I'm waiting until 2pm I have a routine 😅🤗

𝑭𝒆𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒚 𝑺𝒕𝒆𝒗𝒆

Whoop whoop! TT baby!

Jonathan Davies

Oh and Sian I'm sure you saw in that Car Share Dogging video lol.

Lee Dellbridge

I really love this series. Some great task locations you will love I'm sure!

Lee Dellbridge

This is 2 hours early, yay!
