Cheers! Glad that more people are enjoying Sonic Animation. Actually, I realised that this track also has an official video, so this one did actually exist on KZbin already. I updated the description with a link to that video.

I'm actually planning on doing an update to slot in the series 18 contestants... in the off chance I ever work up the motivation to do so :P Without thinking about it too hard, I'd say it definitely wasn't my favourite series, but not my least favourite either. All the contestants would get either 3 or 4 points from me, with Rosie, Jack and Andy on 4 and Babatunde and Emma on 3. Rosie and Jack made for a great team with their massively contrasting personalities, and Andy has a style of humour that particularly suits me. Babatunde and Emma were fine, but honestly not that memorable in the end.

@@thegaminghermitage5045 yeah fair, I particularly thought the studio banter was a step up from other recent series.

Heh, I just really hate those videos where someone has tried to pass off something as protected under fair use for educational purposes or something... no, that entire series of a British sitcom from the 90s that you uploaded is not protected under fair use... I'll still watch it, though :P

@@thegaminghermitage5045 For sure. Have a nice day man.

Heh, I can respect that, I can see how Bridget would be a bit divisive.

I've never seen much of him on GBBO, just snippets. Mostly I know him from The Mighty Boosh (which was okay, but definitely not amongst my favourite British comedies), The IT Crowd (thought he was great in that) and appearances on Big Fat Quiz of the Year (didn't really like him on that, but at least he was a thousand times more tolerable than Russell Brand).

Well... I'll take it! Cheers.

Heh, yeah, a very good way of putting it.

Ha, well, that's certainly valid... I mean, arguably she belongs there just for being the one who made Alex sit on a cake :P

Cheers! The thing about Daisy May Cooper, and I alluded to it in the video, is that she has one particular trait that I find particularly cringe-inducing: overcompensating for her insecurities. I think I find it so awkward because I am an insecure person myself, but my strategy for dealing with it is by really leaning into it and being self-deprecating. And I'm sure plenty of people find me cringe-inducing because of that, too :P And as for Dara, he really is one of my favourite comedians, if I was making this tier list purely for how much I like their overall body of work, he'd be S tier for sure.

Bob Mortimer at 3, okay thanks no need to watch anymore since this clearly isn't ranking Taskmaster contestants and just ranking if the guy likes someone or not.

... Yep.

I’d argue that “how memorable the contestants were, a bit on how they did, [and] were they entertaining” are all just different ways of saying whether or not you liked them. Personally, I think Bob Mortimer killed on his series (and in the Champion of Champions), but that’s because I like his humor. It’s all subjective.

@@andyb3430 I'm sorry but what I'm reading is "Hate tier list where people don't fully agree/align with my opinion". Noel Fielding is one of the very few contestant that I, as a person from a non-English speaking country, was already exposed to and I'm really biased in his favor... but I would have rated him quite low on this particular tier list anyway. You can disagree? Sure. It's subjective, and that's the point.

also, justice for Daisy "THERE ARE ONLY THREE ANIMALS WHO HAVE THIS KIND OF TAILS: ELEPHANTS AND RHINOS" (and yes she only names two after shouting there were there)

Heh, yeah, they are both damn amusing... and rather alluring, especially Morgana... if I'd been on the receiving end of that mermaid proposal I most definitely would have married her :P

Ha, yeah, I do get that some people would find Al Murray a bit hard to take for that very reason, but personally I found it more funny than anything.

I have massive respect for the contributions he's made to the show, and yeah, he's clever and I like a lot of his work, but for me he just didn't quite click on the show.

yeah. you'd think if someone was doing a ranking of this scale they would refresh their memories.

Totally agree!

Sorry, just to clarify ...totally agree with @thesimpsons17 Tim Key is terrific and was wonderfully entertaining on Taskmaster.

Ha! Yeah, I do like her... the contestant so cheerful they gave her a bonus task just to see if they could irritate her :P

Interesting. Why, out of interest? I could see that someone might consider her to be not one of the more interesting contestants, but I'm surprised you'd consider her the single worst ever.

@@thegaminghermitage5045 She brought nothing to the show, really. I've tried telling myself I'm being harsh, but even on re-watch I just find myself asking "Why?"

Yeah, the way TM introduces people to comedians and personalities they might not otherwise have known is a real strength of the show.

Heh, I'm inclined to agree.

To be honest, 'nice' and 'polite' are two very underrated qualities in my opinion.

Yeah, for sure. It was the perfect blend of chaos, foolishness and gamesmanship, boosted by the fact that everyone seemed to get along and to just be happy to be there.

I am so thankful that I started with series 13! my alltime favourite!

Heh, I assume you'd put them both higher? I'm sure most people would put Bob near the top tier, and honestly, I do like him, I guess I'm just not quite as charmed by his particular brand of nonsense as most. And Victoria, yeah, like so many other contestants I could very easily have put her higher... I was just rewatching that prize task where everyone gave each other genuinely nice gifts, and she got Alan the most savagely passive-aggressively nasty gift imaginable... that was fantastic :P But yeah, like I think I said in the video, everyone on that list could have gone up a tier or two, I did really like (very nearly) all of them. It just came down to, who do I love slightly more than others?

Ha, yeah, I probably should have put that in the description or something, since I mentioned it in this video. My main channel is almost entirely video game stuff, so it won't appeal to everyone, but yeah, if you feel like checking it out, it's: www.youtube.com/@DodderingOldMan

Interesting! I guess I wouldn't rank 14 as one of my absolute favourites, but I wouldn't have thought of it as one of the worst either. But hey, that's opinions for you. It's all good :) And yeah, that's actually a pretty good idea for another video. I hadn't really intended to do anything more on Taskmaster (or anything on this channel at all really, other than whatever random stuff comes into my mind), but since this video is getting a few views, I might do something more. And that would be a good way to start. Cheers for the idea!

I would pick one task from each series. You have three of mine already!

Heh, I do get that Bridget might be a bit polarising :P Not everyone is going to find her particular brand of 'charm' appealing, but I definitely did.

Yeah, it's pretty brutal... unfairly so, really. But also a fun and unique fighting game of the era.

Ha, well, thanks for stopping by! I mainly stream these days so I have a record of what I've been playing. I make gaming videos on my main channel, and it's good to have an archive of gameplay to look through. I do enjoy chatting with people, but this time no one was watching until my nephew popped in about halfway through, so talking seemed kind of pointless. I guess I should probably have switched this VOD to unlisted, but honestly you are, to my knowledge, literally the first person who has happened upon one of my VODs, so I hope you'll forgive me for not thinking it was necessary.

I have good news for you: store.steampowered.com/app/1630590/Paint_Drying_Simulator/ Can't see any speedruns for it as such, you can be the first!
