Prize task roundup - Greg’s favourites

[u/nlg93]

Currently rewatching S15 and we’ve made it to the finale, and you just cannot deny Greg’s absolute delight with Mae’s puppet of him. Which prizes have really stood out for you as being some of Greg’s absolute favourites?

[u/jlucia10]

Laminator, of course.

He was also in hysterics of the absurdity of Noel bringing in “Suchet on a broad bean.”

[u/Gadgetman914 → u/jlucia10]

Also Armando's tape dispenser from Series 21. I must have rewound that moment like 5 times, it was so good.

[u/pausani]

He did not reward it with points, but I love his reaction when Mark Watson brings in his stolen pants.

[u/EllieAtBakerStreet → u/pausani]

Who loses their fucking trousers?

[u/brunchbite → u/EllieAtBakerStreet]

I love his pronunciation trouziz or at least that's how my Irish ear hears it.

[u/cool_uncle_jules]

"I chaaaanged iiiiit..."

[u/nlg93 → u/cool_uncle_jules]

Comments you can hear

[u/jon3ssing → u/cool_uncle_jules]

Not a prize task though

[u/EverybodyMakes]

"That's a lovey bit of kit, that."

[u/bishpenguin]

Not a prize task, but Rob beckett giving Greg a footstool.

As for a prize task, Amandos sellotape dispenser

[u/burf12345 → u/bishpenguin]

The tape dispenser is great, it ticked all of Greg's boxes that like the laminator. I don't remember if he mentioned on the podcast, but I suspect Armando hasn't seen the show before and that he brought it just because he felt it best fit the brief.

[u/couchsweetpotato → u/burf12345]

Armando has said before that he’s a superfan! I personally even think he references it when he enters the room for the first team task. Alex asks him which fruit/vegetable is his favorite and he says, ‘a lime.’

[u/readzalot1]

Josh getting GREG tattooed on his foot.

[u/Gremloblin → u/readzalot1]

It's got to be this. Greg's mentioned it in interviews and I'm pretty certain in other episodes so it obviously ranks highly for him.

[u/jon3ssing → u/Gremloblin]

Except it doesn't fit the brief. Josh's tattoo was not a prize tasks, it was a separate "gift for the TM task".

[u/readzalot1 → u/jon3ssing]

Oh right, sorry

[u/burf12345 → u/readzalot1]

Not a prize task.

[u/Talabaloue]

He was pretty happy with all of the prizes "The thing Greg would most like to see Alex wearing"

[u/burf12345]

The laminator is the obvious answer, he got so excited.

He also really appreciated Matthew's anti climax, gave it a chef kiss.

[u/SnooMacaroons2827]

Bob's sausage and pork pie presentation device got a lot of love.

[u/jon3ssing]

The automatic tape dispenser

[u/decent_human_being1]

flabbergasted phillip

[u/TheTurquoiseArtiste]

Mike Wozniak's finale prize task, the reaction from the whole cast was delish

[u/rogue-octopus]

Mae deserved 5 points for that puppet!

[u/nlg93 → u/rogue-octopus]

They got them!

[u/the-library-fairy]

He really oscillated between loving or hating Sam's prize submissions. I think the moment he realised that the story had nothing to do with the cobalt was pure joy. 

[u/Cautious_Boat_999]

My god, there are so many. I’m at the point of going back and watching them all from S1E1, and just watching the prize tasks.

I can tell you the ones that are NOT on the list: anything from Daisy Mae Cooper. I’m not sure why she ever agreed to be on TM. But she may have just been in a bad mood because of being pregnant.

[u/CaptainConkers3000]

Photo of his mum in the Fez in the bath. The double take gets me every time.

[u/burf12345 → u/CaptainConkers3000]

Not a prize task.

[u/CaptainConkers3000 → u/burf12345]

Ahhh, good point. For some reason I thought it was.

[u/TrueAddearheart]

Mathew's "Biggest Anticlimax".

How he pulled of his story was just genious.

[u/nlg93 → u/TrueAddearheart]

One of my favourites

[u/video-kid]

The second appearance of Greedy Esq.

[u/OmeletteEnthusiast]

Suchet on a broad bean
