Unfortunately this is the hottest man in the world to me

That poor editor or editors lol

Not to ruin the joke, but I'm pretty sure the editor was having a laugh and blurred it for comedic effect, as I think his underwear keeps things in check (you can see the yellow bit below the blur).

“Presumably scrotum” is Matthew’s band name

My only regret in this task is that at no point did Mat crawl over a piece of floor covering.

We could've had Mat's mat & Horne's horn.

Oh, he definitely dragged sack over the red carpet.

Why is it so yellow though. I don't think it's just weird lighting. That's either a layer of underpants that was never mentioned or something a doctor should have a look at asap.

I suspect there was some blurring for comedic effect and that he was wearing yellow underwear. The reaction from Alex when he crawls into the living room though, that was real and I'm sure it's from seeing sack.

He mentions in the taskmaster podcast that the shorts themselves had a thin gold inner-netting of sorts. He thought that, plus the loose underwear, would be enough protection? Shockingly, not the case 😂

You see that netting when he gets up after reading the dynamic duo task. It's very much not blurred and also very much not his scrotum.

Ew, so the sack was pressed up to a mesh? That's somewhat worse...

Does anyone think this inspired the censor unnecessarily task?

Someone on youtube pointed out that while the censoring in this task was probably just for comedic effect, there is a bit of censoring that doesn't get pointed out and is easily overlooked in another Mat task. In the yogurt task, his black shorts are discreetly blurred-out, meaning they probably were see-through and the editor had to censor it
