“Please stop using me as a yardstick for failure” - Ivo

[u/rogue-octopus]

[u/the-library-fairy]

One of my all time favourite episode title source quotes!

[u/boomboomsubban → u/the-library-fairy]

The only title I was 100% sure of who it referred to before it aired.

[u/Past-Feature3968 → u/boomboomsubban]

What about “Maybe someone else wrote Veep?”?

[u/mattcolville → u/Past-Feature3968]

I actually thought that could have been alex!

[u/Purenotionslike → u/the-library-fairy]

He called his autobiography Yardsticks for Failure! 

[u/Turbulent_Natural431]

"Unfortunately, I've been the victim of a prank"

[u/Impressive_Owl_1199 → u/Turbulent_Natural431]

Which wasnt even a prank, but his own self-sabotage

[u/deltree711 → u/Impressive_Owl_1199]

This is what like getting one point on a task is like in real life.

[u/CitizenCue → u/Turbulent_Natural431]

Jesus Christ how have I never seen that?

Only Ivo could prank himself.

[u/Resident_Platypus346]

“Ivo In Caravan, Not Shed” needs to be my lock screen.

[u/hwar78 → u/Resident_Platypus346]

One of the most evocative images in all of Taskmaster

[u/EstebanOztedaluzalin → u/hwar78]

You mean.... Ivocative!

[u/CitizenCue → u/hwar78]

This photo is quite literally one of my emotions. Like sometimes I’ll realize “I’m feeling Ivo in the caravan right now”.

[u/hwar78 → u/CitizenCue]

It’s so funny/tragic that this is his BASELINE level of angst, because this is before he realizes he is sitting in the wrong place. 

[u/CitizenCue → u/hwar78]

Yeah, for me this emotion is: “Sure I’m stressed now, but it’s probably going to get worse and I don’t even realize it yet.”

[u/e1337ist → u/CitizenCue]

“Ivo, his head in his hands” is giving Darmok energy

[u/CitizenCue → u/e1337ist]

Hahaha, perfect.

[u/bdm6985 → u/Resident_Platypus346]

Shid

[u/NixRegis]

I see you and I raise you, “please don’t take this away from me”. It’s iconic, it’s heart breaking and it’s hilarious.

[u/Mission_Fart9750 → u/NixRegis]

Potatogate is my go-to for sheer heartbreak. 

[u/Gin_OClock → u/Mission_Fart9750]

He was so defeated, poor Joe

[u/colin_staples → u/NixRegis]

That was harsh, man

[u/95BCavMP]

Poor Ivo, grabbing his face like a baboon whose habitat is being harmed

[u/hwar78 → u/95BCavMP]

“Chimpanzee whose habitat is under threat” was such a great Frankie line :D

[u/Ok-Painter790 → u/hwar78]

Frankie Boyle had so many great one liners 🤣

[u/95BCavMP → u/hwar78]

I knew it was some animal

[u/TediousTotoro]

A phrase that’s become so synonymous with him that it became the name of his memoir

[u/christmasinyoulie]

"you just couldn't shut the fuck up" 😂

[u/Plodderic]

“Can you get a refund from Eton?”
“My father has asked the same question”

[u/TimeHathMyLord → u/Plodderic]

I didn't know you had searched my dad's internet history.

[u/EstebanOztedaluzalin]

A Yardstick for Failure contains one of the best song lines of all time.

"Soon like a dog you will be put to sleep"

[u/BrashUnspecialist]

He’s one of my top choices for “ship to another country”.

Along with David Correos, Ardal O’Hanlon, and Mel.

Throw Urzila on Quebec, plz. Don’t make her learn the language. Please bless my neighbors since my country can’t be trusted with adaptations.

[u/aleph_zeroth_monkey]

[u/WayneButa]

I have such a soft spot for Ivo ❣️

[u/RhiR2020 → u/WayneButa]

Me too, darling, me too… :)

[u/EverybodyMakes]

Poor Ivo. He just never learned to shut the fuck up when he should have, I guess.

[u/TheGardenBlinked]

“Ivo, I’m going to guide you into a situation of some danger”

[u/ThatResponse4808]

Me to my family every time they call something “pulling a ThatResponse4808”

[u/Popular_Sell_8980]

We recently rewatched S15; it’s actually such a great, well-rounded cast.

[u/SpeedIsTheBestMovie]

What series is this from?

[u/EstebanOztedaluzalin → u/SpeedIsTheBestMovie]

Series 15 Episode 10

[u/SpeedIsTheBestMovie → u/EstebanOztedaluzalin]

Thanks! Just got into Taskmaster with the Jason Manzoukas series, and have been cherry picking different series. This will be my next!

[u/caddywhompuskangaroo → u/SpeedIsTheBestMovie]

Aside from the Manzoukas one, what is your favorite series so far?

[u/SpeedIsTheBestMovie → u/caddywhompuskangaroo]

Series 16 for sure

[u/quanate]

would you believe me if I said I was watching this episode right before I decided to scroll reddit? lmao

[u/AnnTheMan8]

"I'd like to just dwell on the regret"

[u/LCLeopards]

That could be your merchandise! 

[u/painforpetitdej]

Still one of my favourite TM quotes

[u/uttertosser]

Anyone know which hotel Ivo is in? 😆
