Hilarious INSULTS & COMEBACKS From Series 15 | Part 2 | Taskmaster | Channel 4

[@jonireson9946]

Ivo: "Please stop using me as a yardstick for failure" Quite possibly one of my favourite lines of any Taskmaster series!!!

[@iainjames03]

"Like me, your body is so much more shocking than your suicide could ever be" is pitch-dark genius!

[@LN0927]

The calmly gleeful, “Jenny and I…” from Alex is beautiful

[@terijimenez4357]

I wish they wud have also included later in the show when ivo says to Frankie "welcome to thicko corner" and jennys all "WeElcome"

[@stephenoxf]

the cruel irony is that Alex is wrong here, it should be Jenny and me

[@nivyan]

@@stephenoxf Nobody cares about the truth/being right - otherwise we couldn't vote for lying politicians.

[@giabarrone7422]

Where do you live that “me am from thicko corner” is proper English!?! Every English speaking country I have been to, it is “I am from thicko corner”.

[@andrewwilson4624]

But he is isn’t saying “I am from thicko corner” - he’s saying “me, over in thicko corner”. Alex was wrong.

[@captainmercy87]

Having Frankie on the show was amazing. His insults, jokes, the fact he didn't care at all whether he did well or not, all made his appearance the best anyone has had on the show. Also, hats off to Alex and Greg and other producers for having him on and not restraining him in any way. In fact, he seemed to have had a great rapport with Greg and Alex and it was a joy watching Greg laugh out loud at Frankie's jokes.

[@kida4313]

He was fantastic. I don't think he is the best, because everytime I settle on a favourite, I start remembering the other greats... Rhod in this particular instance.

[@NotoriousWhistler]

Ivo's genuine heartbreak when Alex says "Jenny and I" 👌🏼

[@TassieLorenzo]

Doesn't Susie Dent say if it should be "me, over in thicko corner" then it should also be "me and Jenny, over in thicko corner?" since you wouldn't say "I, over in thicko corner"? At least that's what I recall from the Something Rhymes with Purple podcast, unless I'm mistaken.

[@stephenoxf]

no, you're right. alex is wrong@@TassieLorenzo

[@bewitchedia]

@@TassieLorenzoyeah you take out the connective and the other subject (so here, “and jennie”) and if what’s left is grammatically correct it’s the right one (me over in thicko corner, not I over in thicko corner). Ivo was right 😭

[@tombstonerforever9374]

@@bewitchedia Unless Ivo was going to carry on the sentence with something like "Jenny and I, over in thicko corner, didn't know what we were doing."

[@peterclarke7006]

"please stop using me as a yardstick for failure" needs to be on my office mug, and possibly even tattooed onto my forehead.

[@alexjelly3657]

Tattooed on my forehead- ha ha

Sorely missing when Jenny asked Ivo if he could get a refund from Eton.

[@ProHobbyjogger]

Ivo was sublime: “You’ve seen my father’s search history.”

[@xtrapolis954m]

Frankie was on fire this season and I was all for it.

[@MagicSwagget12]

I rated his "idgaf" attitude, contrasted nicely with Mae's diehard approach

[@mrquirky3626]

It's Frankie, he's always on fire.

[@daninagy4173]

it was nice to see some Classic Frankie, like the JFK joke during the interview, and the "most heroic thing" prize task stand out the most for me.

@@MagicSwagget12 Frankies jokes about cancer attitude contrasted with Mae's about as funny as actual cancer approach

Poor Ivo got lit the hell up this season and I was loving every second. The photo of him having a breakdown in the “shed” (caravan) was my phone background for some time.

[@alexjelly3657]

I’ve never been used as yardstick for failure! No, no, really x

[@baryler]

15 seasons in and still funny as hell.

[@whatsthatnow308]

Nah, Ive watched Taskmaster from the start and this season is the worst. Really scraping the barrel for 'celebrities'. I only recognise one of them but didnt know their name. I'm applying for next season.

[@ITLLBGRAND]

Frankie really came into his own with the quips and insults

[@FluffyCrimsonBirkenstocks]

Came olinto his own? Frankie is a heavyweight. And was long before Greg rose to fame. You can bet he was holding back tenfold

[@seanbristow3165]

Ever since this show first started ive been waiting for frankie boyle to go on it. So glad it finally happened. The man is hilarious.

Absolutely the best series yet

[@jonahthrane812]

This is probably the best series. I couldn't stop laughing

[@Irfanhill]

Jenny is so gleeful! A joy to watch

[@seldom_bucket]

In another realer sense the british security service and the creative team behind the antiques road show are to blame. 😂

[@mikewazowksi7938]

frankie should be in every series. he doesn't even need to do anything. just stand somewhere in the corner and roast the contestants every 5 minutes.

[@jamesbutler6253]

Frankie Boyle simply improves every situation.

[@JamesSullivan-c8f]

In 40 years Ivo will end up as an old comic with extra dry humor, and it will be hilarious.

[@sarahtries7617]

Does anyone else think Ivo is freaking adorable, or is it just me? Lol

Some might be outtakes. There are 2 videos of outtakes that to should watch too.

[@chikitabowow]

Frankie is magnificent

[@SteffenThomsen]

Brick Top was great in this season.

[@esteban280889]

Clicks this how many will this be Frankie lol

[@MrSimonmcc]

Sorry Alex, you're incorrect. It should be Jenny and me, as you wouldn't say I, in thicko corner, you would say me, in thicko corner.

[@senhowler]

You'd have to make it a proper sentence first. The most likely interpretation would be "Jenny and me are over in thicko corner" which would be wrong because you wouldn't say "me am over in thicko corner".

[@combogalis]

@@senhowler You're right that it's "Jenny and I," but that wasn't his planned sentence. He was interrupted mid-sentence, but it was clear it was going to be something like, "Me and Jenny, over in thicko corner, could not provide an answer as to why there were five eggs," since it was a revision of his previous statement. Still should be "Jenny and I," though since they're still the subject of the sentence, not an object.

I think Frankie is the best contestant ever

[@SleepLess_Plays]

Most seasons it's 5 comedians, but I feel like this one was 4 comedians and Mae Martin, she also NEVER laughs at anything, just a chuckle here and there

[@koushuu]

So the same as Victoria Coren-Mitchell in her series then

[@mahdizaker1773]

​@@koushuu Victoria was brilliant and FUNNY opposite of boring bland Mae

[@TheOneCleanHippy]

Notice how none of these comebacks or insults came from Mae Martin. They were one of the most boring contestants in the history of this show.

[@LBullockPW]

Oh thank goodness. I thought I was the only one who felt that way. They dragged the season down for me.

[@mikewazowksi7938]

i think their interpretation of the tasks are wonderful but yeah.. not really a lot of quippy moments from mae

[@PatrickByrne-e5v]

Apparently shes a Second City alumni. Theyve obviously gone downhill. Used to be some of the funniest bstards in the world comin out of there

[@VonBlade]

Dear editor. Chill the fuck out. This isn't Vine.

[@LilyGoth]

😂😂

[@CredibleHulk10]

I haven't watched every season yet, but this certainly has to be a contender for worst contestants, yes?

[@pfft5275]

I'm pretty sure "Jenny and I" would be wrong. If you remove the other person's name from the sentence it's easier to tell, and "I, in thicko corner" wouldn't work.

[@Dilmahkana]

Isn't it standard grammer to list others' names first? It's just we ignore it usually. Regardless, "and I, over in thicko corner.." works, its just not very modern. I think so anyway..

[@r.vanderspek3572]

"I, in thicko corner, ..." works just fine, I think.

[@CrashSable]

depends on what the rest of the sentence would have been. I guess we'll never know, thanks to Alex's interruption

[@combogalis]

@@CrashSable We do know what it would have been though. He was revising his previous statement after Alex corrected him about who figured out why there were five eggs. The final, /correct/ version would have been, "Jenny and I, over in thicko corner, could not guess why there were five eggs."

[@timq6224]

I is the subject, me is the object. It would be "I am in thicko corner" or "In thicko corner is me" It's just how grammar works. "in thicko corner" is merely a prepositional phrase. The complete sentence would be more like "I, in thicko corner, didn't understand." "I didn't understand" being the actual sentence and "in thicko corner" being nothing more than a descriptive phrase.

[@8bitbonsai]

everyone was really funny and then there was mae martin who was as bland as a white sheet of paper

[@ZesPak]

I thought her try hard attitude nicely contrasted Frankie. If none of them didn't give an f, it would be less funny.

[@grahamlowe314]

@@ZesPak She wasn’t funny she just tried to win

[@LostInWotsoever]

She sucked the life out of the whole show, really dull, bland and teacher's pet

[@dp-g5i]

When you look at the overall dynamic, it was good to have very different people, Frankie who just didn't give a shit, Ivo who was polite but incompetent, Jenny who was just very happy to be there and have fun, Kiell who was a maverick and Mae who was a tryhard, and them all being different complemented each other well. Looking at the contestants individually though, I agree that Mae is as bland as a white sheet of paper.

[@runnersp1985]

I find Ivo Graham unbearable. On the same level as Tom Huddleston and Boris ****ing Johnson. Sorry.

[@TheLastCrusader22]

Why? Nobody is more self-aware about his poshness, and few if any use it to greater effect in their comedy. I absolutely love Ivo Graham, I think he's one of the funniest comedians in the UK right now. And that is saying something

All due respect, without Frankie this would be nearly unwatchable. Only time Greg felt insecure which is quite funny in itself tho lol I would love to see Frankie as the taskmaster for a couple episodes... Taskmaster Nights perhaps ha

[@5ilasTheViru5]

Mae Martin has to be the blandest person alive. I refuse to believe she is a comic. Granola has more personality. Oatmeal is funnier. I bet she blames this failure on men, because NOTHING is her fault.
