NOBODY Makes Greg Davies Laugh Like Sam Campbell | Taskmaster | Channel 4

I will forever admire his dedication to wearing all grey the entire season so that he could wear colour on the last episode just to say "it was all looking a bit grey"

[@ranger_dangerz]

Makes sense too as he's a jobbing accountant

[@shanegaming7743]

Was all filmed in a couple of day bro. All he had to do was wear the same clothes 2 days in a row. Dont get me wrong he was funny but lets not suck his d too hard

[@HOTD108_]

​@@ranger_dangerz Wtf is a jobbing accountant and what's the difference compared to a normal accountant?

[@cr1197]

​@@HOTD108_Not 100% on this particular context (because it could be some slang I don't know), but "jobbing" can mean someone who takes occasional work. As in, he's not an accountant full-time but will act as one when presented with work opportunities.

[@Rugras.]

One of the best creative thinkers ever on Taskmaster. His joke about how everyone was telling a story is pure genius.

[@TheCakeIAm]

His prize task submission for 'greatest thing that makes quite a loud noise when you shake it' might be my favourite prize ever. A bucket lined with sandpaper and filled with matches and fire alarms. Just brilliant.

[@jedfra9172]

Sam Campbell is like an Australian Bob Mortimer, he knows that his story telling is funny as hell and will take every opportunity to spin a yarn or tell a true story and you often can't tell which is which. I watched some of his stand up and not my cup of tea at all but his unscripted banter and interactions with the others on taskmaster has me laughing out loud. Edited to say I just watched his 2022 Sydney 'companion' special and I take the comment about his stand up back. 🤣

​ yeah but u can improvise in a really intelligent way...and I'm just not sure sometimes Sam knows where he's going....?

[@purgruv]

Or even that he knows where it's going and stops it early intentionally for comic effect.

[@itsthepens]

I think he knows exactly what he’s doing and that’s the genius. It’s not contrived but it’s very intentional and he has such a brilliant way of surprising with his tangents or the sudden immediacy of an unexpected turn. It’s not traditional comic timing and more a subversion of that.

"online" is to this day one of the funniest things to happen on Taskmaster. Because the whole bit of telling an unrelated story is great on its own, but "online" is just something that sounds written than improvised. Greg asked the perfect question, almost a written tee up but no it just happened.
