There is SO MUCH golden television to come with Taskmaster. Honestly there isn't a bad season, there are some that are "less good" but it never stops being an entertaining show.
Haha thank you!! I think that's why I'm trying to consistently get through as quickly as I can (while still trying to fold in other shows/movies here and there). Y'all have me all excited to get to the later seasons! Can't wait :)
@@DavidvsFilm that’s fair loving the content, the seasons start becoming a bit longer but you still have many seasons to come!! If it’s at all possible maybe compiling two episodes and watching them back to back but the single format works for me!!
The fun thing about Taskmaster is that there‘s usually someone who does very badly but for some reason that person wins the people‘s hearts instead of the trophy. So really they all win
Oh cool! And haha, at first I thought you were going to say that it's possible to somehow overlook them. Yeah, I still just guess that if you're racing and thinking of time, stressed in the moment, you don't notice. But still!
Everyone who wins the trophy gets the actual trophy, a new one is created for each season. Joe's lightbulb moment when he realises "there's strength in arches" is absolutely classic!
Jocky Wilson was a famous Darts player in the 80s, and Greg Davies is a huge Darts fan. He is the Taskmaster, the best way to go about the prize tasks is to appeal to his tastes 😂
Joe was my favourite contestant this series. I actually find him funnier when he add-libs like he does on Taskmaster than when he writes his material first like he does on 8 Out Of 10 Cats.
Totally relate to the season 1 hitting some kind of way. You know this was a pandemic show for a lot of folks, it was for my house, and so the mood at the time cried out for moments like this. I'm glad you found it when you needed it.
Funny. When you said you’re reacting to the finale I paused the video, went to your channel and checked if I have missed some of your reactions because it felt like this went so quickly. Then I pressed play and you almost exactly said what was in my mind 😂
Hahaha exactly!! I almost put the word "Finale!" on the thumbnail so that people wouldn't think it was just a plain ol' Episode 5, usually aka the middle lol
In school Jon took Hispanic studies and actually speaks Spanish at a decent level. That's what made him even sadder about not figuring out the boat's message.
Hahaha poor Jon! I love his vibe so much though. He never seems to get too rattled, but he also doesn't give off an air of acting like he doesn't care. He genuinely seems like a fun guy.
Can’t wait to see more reactions to Taskmaster - it’s a bit of joy to watch you react to them! Thanks for these videos to bring some much needed laughter 😂
Aww thank you so much!!! I really appreciate that. Yeah, I love these so much, and as I'm getting more familiar with the editing on them, I'm discovering that the copyright owners allow me to leave in more footage, music, etc, so that's great :)
I absolutely love you watching these what would be really fun is if during the edit part you show us what you would bring during the opening task each episode that would be so cool
Like you David, Katherine grew on me. She is an acquired taste...like coffee...you may completely dislike it at first but after enough exposure and different versions you've tried you later find yourself really enjoying coffee ☺️
Richard so should have gotten a point for resolving the feminist dispute in that final task. Real sign of his intellect, and his experience as a producer.
So glad you saw the fun with everyone. If you love Joe then make sure to watch 8 out if 10 Cats does Countdown!! He is sometimes a contestant and sometimes a special guest. You will also understabd the Suzie Dent mentions here this season! Always enjoy your reactions for this show and I've started watching more of your movie reviews too! I am glad you found Katherine Ryan's funny side.
couldn't blame you for thinking it might dip. it really doesn't. every series has the most adorable and dramatic moments and loveable contestants. so much more to come!!!
Congrats on completing series 3🥰 can’t wait for your journey with the other series. Katherine, Joe and Jon actually all worked together on 8 out of 10 cats (both original and countdown) for quite a few years. So if you ever miss the group dynamic, you can check out some of the older stuff there☺️
Thank you!! I am really raring at the gate to watch 8 out of 10 cats in any form or fashion, but also I really want to see more WILTY. And Graham Norton. There's so much to see!!!
I was going to wait until I caught up to your most recent video. But do you know what I have always wondered!? I have always wondered if they show the tasks in the order that they are actually filmed, or if they choose three tasks to play in succession to have them all make sense together in an episode. This episode really made me think of it because you said the final test probably has to do with a tomato potatoes. And I can see why you would say that because the other tasks all had to speak about potatoes. Which I know balloons, rubber ducks and potatoes or main stage gimmicks for the show, but only sometimes does it seem like all the tasks could be considered similar
S'up David Great review as always, lots of fun to come in future seasons, plus 8 out 10 cats does countdown is a must see for future shows, even if you do the compilations like your Graham Norton reviews. As for phobias I can't stand cotton wool balls, even the thought of them sends a cold shiver down my spine..
I strongly recommend Richard Osman's House of Games. I don't see it working as a reaction, its a 30 minute quiz show with random celebs. That said, it's an absolute blast and Richard is a fantastic host in it. There are full episodes constantly hitting and leaving RU-vid, but i strongly recommend picking a week at random episode with 1 or 6 in the episode number (each week is 5 episodes with 4 people across them)
To be fair to the creator the final task, being able to properly tie a tie in the UK isn’t dependent on gender, it’s purely dependent on age and what your school uniform requirements were. As an almost fifty year old woman, I wore a tie to school from the age of five until I left school at eighteen (other than non uniform days and the really warm summer days in primary school (elementary school) where the girls had the option of a school summer dress which was a short sleeved gingham dress…the boys could wear a short sleeved shirt and short trousers). So I have been able to tie a tie since I could get myself ready for school in the morning.
The first series was _not_ the first time Taskmaster was done, it was just the first time it was _televised._ Alex did it as a stage show at the Edinburgh Fringe. There's a recording of at least a bit of it floating around out there somewhere. I do think, though, that it wasn't fully matured until series 3. The Fringe shows was its childhood, the first two series were its adolescence, and it came of age for the third series.
Apropos of nothing but I used to work in a NZ hotel with a girl who acquired singer Robbie Williams' spoon from breakfast. It contained the impressions of his his tooth marks amidst the remains of some porridge. She treasured it, and still had it years later.😄
S'up David! 💜 I'm glad you're feeling better. A great cast, all of who appear on '8 out of 10 Cats does Countdown' at some point. In fact, John is a team captain. I adore Jo Wilkinson's humour -x-
S'up Aisha!!! Haha yeah I can't wait to see more of them, especially now that I've been introduced to them here. I try to avoid spoilers as much as possible, which is hard when seasons start to age, but one person I've seen pop up in a future photo was the guy from Ted Lasso (I don't know him by name). But that was a recognizable moment when I saw his face, so I'm looking forward to his season whenever it is.
@@DavidvsFilm The guy from the future photo was perhaps Nick Mohammed, who spent series 18 dressed as Dracula. His natural nice guy character shone through, contrasting with his previous annoying persona on "Cats does Countdown". On Ted Lasso we immediately felt sorry for his character, then liked him, then HATED him with the intensity of a thousand supernovas and were finally able to forgive him when he took ownership of his faults. Damn, that was a great show!
So many great seasons to come. My favourites are 5, 7 and 13. Absolutely brilliant casts in those. Though most other seasons aren’t too far behind. Season 3 is great, Al Murray ( has a unique way of dealing with some tasks… ), Dave Gorman is great, Rob Beckett and Sarah Pascoe always funny, THEN there is Paul Chowdhry!! Genuinely one of the oddest ( but amazingly funny ) people to have been on the show.
@@DavidvsFilm 🤣🤣 Now that you say it, it does sound like something I would make up. But nope, shw really does. It's in a photo album - of all places, packed in a trunk with her unopened bottle of Crystal Pepsi. My aunt used to work security for him. He even called my mom once. She even has leaves she picked up from Graceland after he died.
Series 3 is another ok one, for me series 4 onwards is where it gets really good, I always have a soft spot for season 1 though, it’s a shame that series wasn’t longer but obviously they didn’t know how well it would do back then
Any task that involves eating something as fast as possibly or even having to eat something specific I’d be like “nope” I’m just not one of those people who are willing to suffer through that 😂
One last thought about Katherine....comedy is still a very male dominated business, so I try to keep that in mind. I think she'd be a blast to go shopping with or talk hot celeb gossip whereas our girl Roisin we'd have over to the house to eat, drink/puff puff pass, chill and giggle our butts off!!!😄💚
Lemme tell you something, brother- That has been the COOLEST BEST BOOK EVER! I keep all my notes in it, and it’s always right there by me. ♥️ I hope you guys are doing great!!
Katherine didn’t really have a point with her tie thing because we wear school uniforms here in the UK and most high schools have ties for everyone so I put a tie on most days for 5 years as a girl😂. I know she’s Canadian or whatever but….ties aren’t male items of clothing. And I’m with you sometimes I like her but she does have moments that are kind of annoying hahah but I don’t think she’s a bad person or anything so I don’t have a problem with her really.
Thanks didn't thought about the dressingcode you have in UK in schools, that explains why they had that in the task. In my country (Sweden), ties are a male item of clothing. It is definitly more women who have never tied a tie in my coountry (and this task would therefore have been impossible for them) then those who have learned how to do it. A guess Canada is sort of like Sweden in that sense. I understand that she could have feelt hopelessness for the task, but also, the contest is in UK. I however, thought they solved it in a fair way.
My high school had polo shirts, so it's not true for everyone. We switched over to clip-on ties in year 10, so at no point did I ever learn to tie a tie.
The problem is that it requires specific knowledge. Usually Taskmaster does not require specific knowledge to be able to complete a task. Specific knowledge might make a task easier, but rarely is it necessary. I would understand if one of the men objected. If I were a contestant, my question would be “what is the correct way?” since one could argue that as long as you tie it the way you intend to tie it, it’s correct.
Ahhh gotcha, that's a good point. And yeah! I honestly really WANT to like her, but I think I need to see her in a different setting such as non-competitive reality tv or standup. Like here's my thing, if you'll indulge me... in the final moments of this episode, for example, before the live task has even started, she's already complaining about it. And her complaint, as far as I could surmise, was that a task involving tying a tie correctly is sexist. To your point, it shouldn't be assumed that tying a tie is exclusively male to begin with, but if we are accepting that premise, I'd argue that it's no more sexist than creating a task for your male teammates that involves doing a makeup tutorial. Then she's chasing Alex around the stage, criticizing his "top-down misogyny that keeps people like me losing", even though at that point she wasn't losing at all. She'd already won one episode (unlike Joe, a presumed certified tie-tier and beneficiary of top-down misogyny), and five minutes later went on to win the whole series. So anyway, long story short (too late), I'm totally with her and COMPLETELY supportive of eliminating unfairness anywhere it exists, misogynistic or otherwise, but I just personally didn't think this was a good example of it. Cradling the trophy as the credits roll... ;)
I don't think she was being serious about it. She might have been a little frustrated but the running around the stage and the comments she made was just her being silly I think. I doubt they would actually show that if she was genuinely upset and accusing the show of sexism!
Hate to be 'that guy' because these are pretty good reactions, but be authentic! MASH IN THE ATTIC makes no sense unless you know it references another UK show called: CASH IN THE ATTIC. If you don't know that, what can you possibly like about that title? It's complete nonsense unless you know it's a play on words.
@@Tringard A funny phrase? Mash In The Attic? Happy to be proved wrong, but where's the funny in that? It's like saying Cheese in the Greenhouse. It makes no sense without knowing the wordplay.
@@TheOrlandoTrustfull Not sure the implication there, but assuming you mean many US comedy shows have weak punchlines so audiences across the pond tend to laugh at nothing, then yes... yes I have. Watching the woeful Big Bang Theory with canned laughter track removed is nothing short of sinister. But I fear this just strayed off-topic!
I'm implying that someone in America has heard of Cash In The Attic. Continue being "That guy" though. It definitely isn't making you seem like a bit of a prat.
