"Do you want to see Scoopy again?" "Yes, I want to see Scoopy again. He's lovely." "Yeah, let's see Scoopy. I think about him every day." "Okay, here's Scoopy..." (Opens Ark of the Covenant)
@@kewlwarez Paul's "act" and his comedy is to make people uncomfortable. There's a prize task later that season (buy a gift for the Taskmaster) that makes Greg really uncomfortable in how it's presented - and it's SO funny. He's always had that edgy persona; I'd say it's because he's one of the first non-white comedians in the UK circuit. To put it more bluntly, Paul's style is to F*** with you. And he loves to do this to his fellow comedians. I've heard a few podcasts & interviews when he's himself, he's very charming and smart (still very funny). And in his own podcast, it's pretty clear that there are a ton of people who respect him immensely.
@@NeungView Someone always lets the anal retentive in sooner or later. For comedic effect. It shouldn't really need explaining. However, if it should need explaining to you, it's the incongruity between a cute little rabbit and the word bastard, and all that it implies, that evokes a laugh. When you see a comedian on TV, remember they each have their own unique shtick, or felicity of style. Paul plays on being from East London and having a deadpan irascible delivery.
I feel like they uploaded this exact video last year, but it's worth coming back to because Jessica is one of the most adorable contestants ever. Also, bastard's cryin', innit
@@jackwang9536 I don't watch TV or use catch up things so all I ever see is what's posted online here or on their facebook page, but in sure it'll come around eventually
Liza and Sara both got robbed in their respective tasks. Liza's snow globe actually functioned like a snow globe while Russel's never could have gotten a snowy effect. The reaction Scooty got from the crowd also said it all. The mash-man looked pretty filthy.
I always think she was robbed because she sat next to James. He sabotaged her in 3 separate live tasks The tower of cans He kicked her rubber ring off the stage in the one where the held hands He eliminated her in sausage or finger.
Kerry only won by a single point. There was that one tie breaker between the two where Jess insisted on guessing 1666 that she lost. If she hadn't committed to the joke, she would have gotten it.
@@Nilpferdschaf tiebreakers don't give points, they just determine who wins the episode. There's numerous arguments made for what cost Jess the series win, with the biggest ones being Jess' DQ in the 'best 90's thing' prize task and the sausage or finger game being a winner-takes-all; if anyone else had won that task besides Kerry, Jess would have won the series
@@iliketrains3495to be fair, cant you simply argue that for prolly half the tasks? A lot of the judging is pretty subjective to the whims of the taskmaster 😂
The bike scene with Mel is the same episode as when they mention 'into the vortex' you can see the doctor has a white t shirt under his leather jacket and i think a necklace....or whistle perhaps?
Christmas isn't Christmas. The 25th of December has nothing to do with Christ or Christianity and current Christmas is formed of a pagan feast. So nevermind a snowman... ☃️
@@jonhohensee3258ALL those things are made up. Stockings? Reindeer? Santa Claus? Christmas tree? All completely made up. The entirety of Christmas is a Frankenstein celebration.
It's food that feeds us with humor, and having worked at various restaurants...this is nothing. But I will say I wouldn't want it to be more than the minor stuff shown here
They have mentioned a couple times during food related tasks that leftovers are preapred as meals for the crew, like in the matryoshka meal task in series 11.
In the early series, they used to mention that they would donate money to food banks to make up for the wasted food. In later series, they now mention how the food is reused and eaten (usually by the crew).
In the wake of Paul’s crying snowbastard, Al Murray’s Chernobyl snowman doesn’t get the attention it deserves. I was on the floor laughing when I first saw that.
When the episode aired that had the "Christmas Cracker", I kept wondering how many Americans, if presented with that challenge, would have ordered meats, cheeses, and/or spreads. We have Christmas presents, and what we call crackers are what I think you would call water biscuits or savoury biscuits, and thus a cracker for Christmas would probably just have the best possible meats and cheeses, unless someone had some good spreads to put on it. And for all I know, spread might be a term that is not clear...I don't know.
I sometimes also wonder how the game would go if one used terms from other nations that speak English, such that there could be such similar confusion. I know you've used terms like melina, which in Slavic languages tends to mean raspberry, which I happened to know at the time that aired, but wouldn't have even a year earlier. But imagine words you think you understand, but then aren't what you think...kind of like a "pair of glasses".
I like your optimism for what fine cuisine they might have requested......... ...but the US is also the country where 'cheese you can spray out of a can' is a thing.
As an American I don't get the "cracker", I mean I get that it's tradition in England I just don't understand what that tradition actually encompasses.
Each guest has one, & with the person next to you each take hold of the end & pull. The strip pops (like a cap gun), & one person will be left with the long part, the other with the short part. The long one ‘wins’, & they get to choose what they want from the contents. Always a hat & a joke or a riddle, & a pointless piece of something! Everyone has to wear the hats & all the jokes are told. It’s just for the fun & drama-of a competition, a cracking noise, the jokes & everyone looking silly in silly hats. Apparently it dates from 1800’s. Hats apparently refer back to pre-Christian rituals.
