Key getting a very gracious challenge withdrawal from Horne and then immediately calling the challenge stupid and trying to argue that he only has one challenge left, is outrageous and incredibly funny.
It has a similar energy to Rhod Gilbert defending Phil Wang in season 7 episode 1 of Taskmaster and Phil turning right around and throwing him under the bus.
From chapter five of "Tarzan of the Apes" by Edgar Rice Burroughs: "Tarzan felt the chill waters close above his head. He could not swim, and the water was very deep..."
@Iolo Roberts - I’d argue Noah works _for_ the other species: he builds them a boat, and ferries them about… so they’re more like employers or clients.
A small-town priest in rural USA, catering to their evangelical “born again” crowd and not affiliated with any umbrella church organization, might _say_ they “work for God to deliver their flock to salvation…” but report to the IRS that they’re financed by their flock. So a flock being delivered clearly hold more of an employer/client status.
One would contest that challenge by saying his profession was farming. He grew grapes for wine and the bacterial organisms that facilitated the fermentation weren't animals.
Even stephens again. This tournament is a knucklebiter. I was afraid the new rules might bring some structure, but it's derailing proceedings even more. Perfect.
Love this game - very few RU-vid clips have me shouting advice at the screen but I just can't help myself. "Tarzan worked with his partner Jane and he worked with animals!!" and then ended up googling "did Roger Hargreaves give his mr men christian names"
That's not his job, working with animals, he lived with animals. I don't think they paid him. And he wasn't working with Jane either, even though they turned out to work very well together. The actor Johnny Weissmuller and Maureen O'Sullivan worked together AND with animals on the movie Tarzan the Apeman which was about Tarzan, but that's a whole different argument. "Apeman" isn't a job title, and Jane wasn't his PA.
@Moo-sheep - Do you have to be paid by someone to work with them, though? There are coworkers, for instance. And prisoners digging a tunnel with a spoon work together, and no one pays them for that at all… I mean, there’s a reward to digging your way out of prison with a spoon, but so is there in helping a tiger maul and kill a poacher.
@@gladtobeangry That's what I love about this game... so much opportunity for friendly debate. I agree the "Apeman" is not descriptive of his job but I always saw him as 'custodian of the jungle' or 'jungle saviour' so, in effect, a wildlife park keeper. I would suggest such, like zoo keepers, can be regarded as working with animals. I'm sure Jane, when they got together, also took on that mantle as his assistant unless you want to posit that she was just a (tree)housewife? :)
@@user-ur2rw3sc8h I would argue that both Jane and Tarzan are free agents. They're living life surviving on whatever nature will provide them with. The only time they became "jungle saviours" was when people tried to destroy the jungle Tarzan was living in. That's still not a job. If someone sets fire to my house and I put it out, I'm not a fireman, I'm just doing what's necessary to protect my house. Tarzan an Jane are no more workmates than Romeo and Juliet or Bert and Ernie. They belong together, yes, but they're not working together.
“Working together” doesn’t require a job title and a paycheck, though. Geese work together to migrate, they form great formations and head out together, but they don’t receive paychecks or have desks with placards on them. Identically, Tarzan and other species worked together to coexist with, and within, the jungle.
Nothing beats rewatching this in September 2022 and enjoying the irony of Key refusing to walk on Johnson, despite the valid criticism of his colleagues and those below the line...
Tim Key reminds me of W G Grace. Won't walk when he's definitely out, and people don't want him out because he is entertaining. Also the physical similarities are remarkable.
I think it was because of the Symonds challenge he bowed out. He was already on thin ice. If he hadnt been so adament about the Symonds one where he was clearly wrong, no way he would have walked on Mister.
For My Own Benefit But hopefully helpful for other folks Game 6 Official challenge = 🚩 Clarifications No Google before a challenge Third wrong challenge = elimination (Doesn't Key have a disadvantage, always going first? Shouldn't it rotate to the previous winner?)

I like to think that Alex is doing the subtitles himself and is just the kind of guy who casually but accurately uses the interrobang. It's an underappreciated punctuation mark.
I imagine he does - I doubt YT's auto captioning uses the interrobang, and most people (including me most of the time) would think of it as ? followed by !, rather than one thing.
Pretty much the best thing on RU-vid at the moment. The comments make me laugh just as much as the show. Also, thank you post production Alex for the ending!
This really works so well because of the genuine chemistry between you three. Almost anything can become a game. Love it. Cracking game this round. I was on the edge of my seat with the final challenge.
"Tarzan now swam to shore and clambered quickly upon dry land. The feeling of freshness and exhilaration which the cool waters had imparted to him, filled his little being with grateful surprise, and ever after he lost no opportunity to take a daily plunge in lake or stream or ocean when it was possible to do so." - _Tarzan of the Apes_ by Edgar Rice Burroughs
Oh come on, just a few lines above it's said he almost drowned because he could not swim. He worked out by chance how to paddle like a dog but that's not really what we call swimming.
I hope they are screen sharing otherwise there is no way I would trust the "no googling before the challenge" rule with Tim Key. We saw how much he can be trusted on Taskmaster.
@@paulquaife7974 It definitely isn't. Gay people have been saying partner for long before they could get married. The whole point of the word is that it overrides whether a couple is married or not. This is the wrong quibble.
…AND Mahātmā was Gandhi’s _title,_ while his first name, Mohandas, _doesn’t_ end in a vowel! So Tim would’ve been disqualified at that point, had anybody pulled it together and challenged. I will say, COVID-19 is really benefiting the day-drinking industry!
@@YellowSnap mary definitely ends in a vowel. 'y' can be both a vowel and a consononant, in this case it is a vowel. www.merriam-webster.com/words-at-play/why-y-is-sometimes-a-vowel-usage. (you might argue whether magdelene ends in a vowel though, since the e is silent)
I'll bet Hancock had regretted the rules switch from "I'll do the work" to "Key does the work" on more than one occasion. It's been Problems for Horne ever since
Even if Mr. isn't his surname and even if Sneeze wasn't a verb, likely "Sneeze" is a mononym/Christian name that shares a letter with Alex's mum. And, worse, if the implication *is* that Mister is his forename and Sneeze is his surname, then "sneeze" still ends in a vowel and would be out anyways. It's a veritable bukkake of challengeable offenses.
@@rob-c. Noone challenged it on that basis though. Part of the game is spotting the challenges and being able to get away with some names that should have been challenged!
What's the challenge for though? Are you saying they have to say their actual name rather the name their most known as, as a general rule? If so would that mean we couldn't say King Henry VIII or Pope Francis? We'd have to say Henry Tudor and Francis (whatever his surname is that hardly anyone knows)?
@Tom Smith - The challenge is that the name with which you establish a rule has to be an accurate example of a name which would break that rule. Otherwise you could just say any old thing, “Clara Bow, ahhhh… no more ex-presidents of the USA!” in order to establish a rule. So if you say [name x] and the rule “No more names where both names end in a vowel,” then [name x] should be a name where both names end in a vowel. Mahātmā being a title, and Mohandas being Gandhi’s first name, Mohandas Gandhi is not a name where both names end in a vowel.
@misinformedmarti - Ohhhh… this’ll make people angry, but don’t judge: I think nothing occurring in Doctor Who after 1989 really counts, and to be blunt, I’m inclined to write off Sylvester McCoy too, and to consider the whole series ended with Colin Baker in 1986. The rest just ruins it for me.
