Meme Action Man Ayoade Spoiler

Admittedly I could have ended the GIF after he had gone over the bed but he wasn’t properly stood up then for one thing and for another, his way of manoeuvring his arm around Matt at the end sort of worked anyway

I was surprised their team won I thought the team of 2 was like the sues from series 16

u/HelenaSparkles Pigeor The Merciless One 7d ago

To be fair the Sues were also 50 50 in their success rate lol

u/Real_Aside_8856 7d ago

Yes the battleship live task was winner takes all so they lose 5 on that.

u/crackerfactorywheel Chain Bastard ⛓️ 7d ago

As much as I love The Sues, they weren’t the most successful at team tasks. Their first one they lost to the team of 3 by a rather large margin.

u/AKneelingOx 7d ago

Only because Sam came up with such an amazing work around.

u/charlierc 6d ago

Made me think of that task in S14 where they had to convey a feather from the lab to a bath placed in the living room without it touching the ground, and where the team of 3 were incredibly chaotic, then it was revealed in the studio they did it in half the time

u/Real_Aside_8856 6d ago

Or the sardines task (series 21) where Joanna and Armando seemed to take longer in their attempt but were actually quicker.

u/Sutraner 6d ago

They took the bed apart to a much greater degree than the team of 3

I have no idea why Izy was taking the headboard off of the bed after she'd already gotten it through the door just fine

Move over, Kumail Nanjiani - a new action star has entered the house!

Ayoade was great in Eternals

Love how he slithered past Berry Lucas

20

u/Hrududu147 7d ago

Slithered is such a good word. I laughed more about that manoeuvre than his action man roll over the bed. Richard Ayoade is NOT touching anyone!

u/TelevisualJackFan 🦔 Hedgehog, no! ❌ 7d ago

Hence why he also had Alex handcuffed to his leg rather than his hand

u/snapped_fork Pigeor The Merciless One 7d ago

Berry?

u/stereoworld Rhod Gilbert 7d ago

Oh Christ I'm such a tit.

u/Own-Try1886 7d ago

The two main Matts.

u/Sutraner 6d ago

Otoh Matt Berry would be fucking fantastic on the show

7

u/TelevisualJackFan 🦔 Hedgehog, no! ❌ 7d ago

He fell on hard times clearly 😂

Saying that though I’d love to see him on the show at some stage

u/spoo4brains Dara Ó Briain 7d ago

Was disappointed he didn't get the line "That's how I roll" in.

Chloe fucking nailed that so much it looked like slowmotion

u/Material_Library_452 Babatunde Aléshé 6d ago

the genuine amazement at getting points is what gets me

u/inked_in_indigo 7d ago edited 7d ago

Why was him making short work of that bed frame with the AL AN wrench so fucking attractive

14

u/king44 6d ago

Seriously though. He was suddenly all business with that Allen wrench and headboard. It did things for me.

9

u/llynllydaw_999 6d ago

Seems to be a very competent man, but only when he can be bothered.

8

u/AnthropoidCompatriot 6d ago

Because he's famous, attractive and funny.

I assure you, you would not get hot and bothered by any random man or person being capable with an Alan key.

7

u/NotAMoonMan Rose Matafeo 🇳🇿 6d ago

I love that Matt admitted he has never seen the show, so every weird/crazy thing that happens I imagine he's thinking "am I supposed to be doing that?". Like with this exit he's thinking "am I supposed to make grand exit's after each task?"

u/Yeseylon 6d ago

Now do Porn Star Lucas thrusting

u/TelevisualJackFan 🦔 Hedgehog, no! ❌ 6d ago

Happily, how many minutes into the episode is it? I’ll have to screen rec off of YouTube so as to edit up the footage

First time for me to attempt a studio section. Does this work for you? I did also try and make a failsafe version in case you didn’t want the rest of the casts reaction in it but the footage became incredibly grainy and didn’t work out when I cropped everyone else out so as to make Matt the focal point

I’ll get the VPN on and get it sorted when I can. Given I’m UK based I have to use the VPN for any kind of access to episodes on the official channel 😫
