anyone here watch taskmaster?
I only watch clips
Stopped years ago when it became a bunch of literal whos
>>214966188the casting doesnt bother me as long as they are suitably creative/insane/competitive. i think you could put 5 strangers off the street on taskmaster and it would be good tv
just finished watching series 19 the other day, its as funny as ever, doesnt matter at all if you know the people on it or not
>>214966251i've been going through taskmaster australia recently, the 2nd season of that (its on youtube) is one of the best seasons i have ever seen
>>214966261i've not tried the aussie one, as a kiwi i feel i will detest it almost as much as i detest the kiwi version
19 and 20 are good so far
>>214966168I don’t like the fake challenges. Like when they need to make a movie, or some kind of art installations. These talentless contestants definitely didn’t make it. And asked the crew the make the stuff for them. I don’t get why they don’t make all real challenges, without that fake BS.
>>214967122>10 episodes a season>1 prize task, 3 house tasks, 1 live task>10 prize tasks, 30 house tasks, 10 live tasks per season>20 seasons>200 prize tasks, 600 house tasks, 200 live tasks done to dateThey're unironically running out of ideas.
>>214966168Alex writes the showThe shows host makes fun of AlexAlex is making fun of AlexThis is the guy who sits in the chair while the bull goes to work isn't it?
It's a funny show but once you seen a few episodes it becomes samey
>>214966251>Series 19This shit has been going for nearly 20 years?
Last week's name guessing task with the team of two was hilarious.
>>214968104They seem to do two or more series a year now
>>214968104they do 2 a year, survivor style. its been on for 10 years.for me its series 5, 7, 11 and 14
>>214968200Maisie is surprisingly cute
>>214967184The smart thing would be to recycle the old classic ones
>>214966275this one has a really good panel, theres a qt chinese zoomer girl who is fucking stupid at every task
>>214966416Im a fan of Zooks, I'd never seen this show up till he got cast on season 19.>Destroy>Dismantle>Engulf in flames
I'm happy to see a bit of arguing in the studio in this new season.A big part of the charm is when the contestants are trying to criticize each other and convince Gregg that they're the ones who are right. That part seems to be abandoned in the last couple of seasons, with everyone just being nice and supportive of each other.
i despise contestants that lazily fail their way through every challenge like retarded faggots and then just throw their hands up when asked about it. they're also usually the unfunniest nobodies too
>>214967122I don't mind those tasks. The tasks have always been a very mixed bag and it's fun to see how they do creatively when under pressure and with special rules they have to adhere to.However I always think it's a shame when they use camera editing and tricks to do tasks that has nothing to do with that. Like the "pull the most interesting thing out of a bag" task recently (episode 1 or 2). That's a nice little task, a chance to be creative with limited means - but that one guy pulled out himself using camera editing. That's not really a satisfying way to complete the task. Do what you can with what you have available, don't bring camera tricks into it.
i feel like prize tasks are almost never good
