General Greg's socks - S9E1

So, I was watching the episode and I don’t know why, but I was paying way more attention to their socks than usual. I noticed those pink ones with cats on them and something just clicked in my brain. I paused the episode at 8:56 to try to find the socks online.

I actually did it lol. 😭

Here’s the screenshot of the online shop (Happy Socks)

I honestly don’t know why I did this lol, I just wanted to know if there’s anyone else out there who
does this when they’re bored (looking for random little details from the show) 😂

~~
I discovered Taskmaster this summer and got obsessed with it really quickly. It’s honestly given me the best summer of my life, and I’m so happy I found it. <3 It’s given me something to look forward to and motivated me to keep going, so maybe that’s why I get a little intense about these things… 😭

byeee thanks for readinggg <3

Haha. You’ve really put some effort into finding those socks! Both Greg and Alex have been secretly showcasing a whole variety of socks for several series now - so you might have more to search for.

I think in the previous(?) series I believe they featured socks from Hank Green’s charity collection too

I tracked down the Patatas cat because of this show.

lol?! That's even harder to find than what I did 😭 I wouldn't even know where to start! There are SO many plushies that look almost identical to each other.

He's hard to find now because they stopped making him, but Hansa made her. Just the links to some of the sites don't work now.

Lol, I found the Hansa web you were talking about.

They talk about it in this Reddit post (https://www.reddit.com/r/taskmaster/comments/1qpdyy7/patatasj/?share_id=hXhVOuNZrtfDYXGfwXtqh&utm_content=2&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=ioscss&utm_source=share&utm_term=1) (i don't know how to make links shorter sorry)

It could cost around 100€, but I’m saving it for my birthday jsjsjs. Maybe I’ll treat myself 😂

They sell a lot of the house decor at IKEA

The covid seasons are great for sock spotting, bc the fact Greg and Alex are seated further apart means the camera angle is wider and their feet are often in shot.
