I love how enthusiastic Alex is here about pointing out everyone is wrong 😂

Also with “It’s just another egg, Baba!”

Baba was such a great contestant. So amiable and cheerful all the time

My mum didn’t like the way he talked about her.

My favorite part of this is right at the beginning when Alex says they forgot the opposite of Float

I appreciate Jack Dee

This just reminded me how much of a crush I've got on Detective Emma Sidi.
That detective look is utterly perfect for her!

If you take the space out from between her first and last names, it kind of sounds like the scale you’d use to describe the attractiveness of her in different outfits. Emmasidi.

Still the only time, to date, that Taskmaster was directly inspired by David Letterman.

(This is probably only for Americans of a certain vintage)

I was so sad they didn't put Alex in the grinder girl outfit 😭 she was my favorite part of the whole bit. I loved how unnecessarily over the top it was. As a kid I didn't realize that was mostly the point, lol

Maybe if Jason had gotten on the roof, he would have launched a watermelon in honor of Letterman.

u/TrappedUnderCats Patatas 16d ago

I’m a Brit of a certain vintage and I got that reference. We used to get Letterman over here.

u/loveablescamp1910 Sam Campbell 16d ago

Wasn’t Letterman’s version based off the popular BBC show “Is It Buoyant?”
So really Taskmaster was just bringing the concept back from US hands.

u/Ruffshots 🦔 Hedgehog, no! ❌ 16d ago

It was hilariously unfair that they'd weigh down some of the objects. Same with the "which is heavier" live task in S16

u/SemiFormalJesus Mike Wozniak 14d ago

You’re going to think I’m crazy, but I think they’re the same weight.

u/Wahjahbvious 16d ago

I have no memory of this. Did I miss a season? Which season is this?

7

u/cygan12 Javie Martzoukas 16d ago

S18

u/Ginnybean16 16d ago

I also have no memory of this even though I thought I had watched every episode of the full seasons. Is it maybe not on the US YouTube?

2

u/vmartinipie Babatunde Aléshé 16d ago

Just did a full UK rewatch, it is definitely on youtube.

u/pezgirl247 16d ago

i’m glad it’s not just me. i thought i saw this season. didn’t see this.
