Give Little Alex Horne A Special Cuddle | Full Task | Taskmaster

[@VanL1ngleMungo]

Aisling writes "No Handjobs" on her robot suit and then immediately forgets her own rule.

[@ems7623]

It didn't say "No Hosejobs"

[@ResettisReplicas]

Techincally it says "No no handjobs." Which simplifies to "yes handjobs."

[@Lagattutasal22]

if she mimicked a hoover then it was definitely a blow job

[@thehungrylittlenihilist]

To be fair it is crossed out. So maybe it is a pro handjob sign?

[@panicatthegasstation]

Nish was all warmth, Aisling was weirdly confusing yet charming, Mark was simply awkward like a gangly giraffe trying to mount its mate, and the other two are just straight up serial killers.

[@mistertadakichi]

Sally seems like the person that would’ve normally given the nicest cuddle, so it feels “Taskmaster-Appropriate” that hers was basically a torture session.
