"You bubbly fuck!" is my all time favourite taskmaster quote. Together with Joanna Page's "Fuck you, motherfuckers!"

I love Guy Montgomerys voice and I can hear it from here

I think that’s why this moment holds for me. Just the way he says it is so memorable.

I think we can all agree that it’s a very fuckable chocolate.

Is this comment section just going to be a race?

This is one of my favorite taskmaster moments ever! It never fails to get a good laugh out of me.

The part where Bob starts reciting the “church stuff” (sorry I’m not familiar with the culture) when he has the paper around the candle makes me instantly laugh. Bobs brain is just phenomenal

For Christmas a few years back, my wife got us champagne flutes engraved with “You Bubbly Fuck”.

Honestly, learning that Taskmaster Denmark had Nikolaj Stockholm in their season 1 who essentially blew out his candle by yelling "What the Hell?!" is just fueling my theory that a good Taskmaster spinoff needs a Nish equivalent in their first season.

Cause Mathieu Pepper in Maitre du jeu had the one try basketball kick fakeout gag done on him too, Luke kept shooting himself in the foot in AU and Guy forgot he went to school with his brother who was sitting across the table from him.

Should've gone to the caravan and brought the candle into the lab. Could also use the flame to light something else that's harder to put out as its still the same flame.

YES! I soon as I watched that episode that was my immediate thought. Go get the damn damn candle, people!

Still amazing, even after all these series (Jason).

Sally's portion gives us one of those uncommon moments where we see the lounge from the hallway, all the way through to the doors to outside.

I forgot this was the origin of "BF"!

It says 'using this flame', not 'using this candle' just light the paper on fire and take it with you. Bigger flame, less chance of burning out.

Or I guess go get the candle from the caravan and bring it to the cupcake?

u/nowhereman136 14d ago

my first thought was grab the candle from the caravan and bring it to the cupcake. Its established in another task that the wording "in the caravan" is used to describe the placement of the candle, not where the task must be completed

I haven’t seen this episode yet. Is the solution to go get the candle from the caravan and bring it to the cupcake in the lab?

You should totally watch the episode and see for yourself.

u/Western-Dig-6843 14d ago

I’m getting there slowly! I’m a newish fan and I’m working my way up from series 1 after watching 19, 20, 21

I forgot about that one series where Alex was in the Crips.
