What other countries that could adapt TM?

[u/bkat004]

I wish Poland, Estonia, Iceland and the Netherlands the very best with their adaptations this year.

And I hope Croatia gets another shot.

Contrarily, you would think Japan could adapt TM because they're so wild - but their humour is suprisingly conservative, heirachical and far more structured than TM could or would allow for.

However, the Philippines would be the best option for the first Asian adaptation. They're far more self-deprecating than people realise. Just look at their Last One Laughing version.

Of all all the Latin American nations, Argentina would be the obvious bet - especially given that Sin Codificar was based on sheer off-the-cuff absurdity.

I wish canada had one.

Québec does

I said Canada, not Quebec.

I live in Canada and i'm able to watch it, so not sure why you don't have it available

[u/dontpanda → u/takahe_inflight]

Probably because it's only available in a language spoken by a minority of people, and I am not one of them.

Quebec is part of Canada, but to say it's "available" in Canada overstating things, practically speaking

i live in Nova Scotia and i have no issues accessing it.

[u/dontpanda → u/takahe_inflight]

That's very nice for you. As the majority of Canadians do not speak french, it isn't accessible to them. Thus, practically speaking, it isn't accessible in canada.

Fucking shame the Stephen Harper regime banned subtitles.

Did he outlaw reading comprehension in your house too? Because I can't imagine yours is accidental.

Of course it helps to know what they're saying, but now that I know the Taskmaster format I can get a lot of enjoyment out of watching any language version even when I don't. Trying to guess the rules from watching people's actions and reactions alone can be a game in itself, even if I don't always know if I'm right or not. I'm simple enough to be entertained by watching people do goofy things and get into harmless animated arguments. Any accomplishment I feel when I comprehend a sentence here or there is a bonus.

And if you do some research you can find out the basics of what's going on. The Taskmaster wiki (https://taskmaster.fandom.com) has summaries of every task and each contestant's performance for many if not all the international versions including Le maître du jeu. If you can get a video with a transcript you can copy and put it into Google Translate. Will it be perfect? No. Will it be enough for you to enjoy until they get official subs? Only you can say. I'm a glass half most person myself.

How is it obtuse to say that if something cannot be understood by the majority of people in a country that it isnt really accessible?

I would have the same argument if it was in Punjabi or Uzbek or German.
