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"

[@joncarthy7183]

Makes sense too as he's a jobbing accountant

[@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. 🤣

[@Hexen_Wulf]

@@jedfra9172 He seems like someone you'd want to be friends with just to witness the hijinks.

Or in other words improvisation

[@irmelinhart-xn9wj]

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

[@williamchapple8886]

I’d never heard of Sam before the show, yet within episode 1 of ‘are you a child of divorce’ I knew he’d be a classic - series 16 was one of the best ever

[@FemaleAussieJackal]

Everyone in Australia has a friend at some point in their life like Sam. He is so very Aussie in his sense of humor

[@occularpatdown]

Really?! Dude is so left field for me. I watched this series to see what he'd do next. Astonishing.

[@boahnation9932]

Agreed!!

[@queenyblahblah]

@@FemaleAussieJackali always love australian comedians, because i find that a lot of australian people just generally have a great sense of humour anyway, so the ones that do it for a living are particularly funny.

[@201081hero]

I love everyone's reactions to the "are you a child of divorce?" line - it was completely unexpected which made it all the more hilarious.

[@6022]

I totally think he had an actual question until Greg said that, and then he just saw his opportunity to ask a totally left-field question.

[@bamitslori9750]

That’s how comedy works

[@KickassUncle]

@@6022 Left-field? I think it was a sensible question. Anybody who 'wants' to be a police officer should never be allowed to do so. Anybody who is huge and 'wants' to bully people on tv must be overcompensating for some sort of childhood trauma.

[@mattattack10100]

I was in the audience for that episode, and I'm so glad it was, that entire task was chaos 😂😂

[@LankyLegs96]

For me it was the fact that it's one of the only times I've seen Julian properly crack up 😂

[@dox_xus]

Sam is one of the few contestants (along with Lucy) who consistently make Alex break character.

[@BeccaB529]

Seemingly, but Alex said in an interview that he realized people like it when he breaks character so he will now let himself laugh more.

I’ve no idea why him slightly standing off his chair and saying “cobalt “ is so funny but Damn 😂 he was one of my faves ever for sure, he’s so unique and genuinely strange

[@valerielevasseur8674]

That's why he had me from Pinocchiooooooo. Child of Divorce just sealed the deal, and all in episode 1.

[@felipemaldonado8028]

And his backup story and the 'I just bought it online' were fantastic

[@WannabeBackbencher]

Underrated moment when Sam says "the first Samurai to move will often be slain" and Alex is just so shocked because he has genuinely no idea where this is going

[@WiHuThRi]

my favourite aspect of a comedian is unpredictability... and for most of this season, I had no idea what Sam was going to say or do next. Loved every moment of him.

[@nii_amart]

Yeah 😂😂. Lucy was also very unpredictable. 🤣

[@stephengnb]

​@@nii_amartshe threw a poo out the window! I would have never guessed that!

[@valhallaxx]

Absurdist comedy, I guess it is. Another Australian comedian who has been very funny on some British panel shows with that style of humour is Sam Simmons. 8 out of 10 Cats Does Countdown especially, which I think both Campbell and Simmons have been on

[@gowiththejo]

I saw his live show in Melbourne tonight - it was completely unhinged batshit genius hilarity

[@NxDoyle]

'Child of divorce' is in my top 10 TM lines, sitting with Paul Chowdhry's, 'Bastard's cryin', innit.'

[@josiahscurlock]

Sam's little grin when Greg scratches his cheek like a puppy is the most adorable thing.

[@oLivaz22]

I used to play in an indoor soccer team with Sam. One night I was dropping him home after a game, he made some joke from the back seat. My other friend said 'I dunno about that joke Cambo, that's a pretty long bow'. He was quiet for a beat and then said 'The longer the bow, the further the arrow flies'. I damn near crashed the car, I laughed so hard.

[@gabbyo9946]

I love this so much.

[@artyb27]

What does long bow mean in the first context? I was expecting "low blow" but I've not heard "long bow", is it just a play on words?

[@joepickup7305]

Sam is one of my all time favourites on the show. Perhaps only Bob has made Greg and Alex (and the other contestants) laugh more?

[@jess_ismore]

I think Lucy is up there, too. But with Sam, it's like they're so proud of him at the same time. It's so cute.

[@QuantumHistorian]

Lucy worries Greg, in the way that she might need a nurse to follow her around and stop her hurting herself. Sam worries Greg too, but in the sense that he ought to be followed by a policeman so he doesn't hurt other people.

[@turdferguson7264]

[@FIFFAN18]

One of my favourite seasons. I wasn't massively excited when the lineup was announced, just because I wasn't familiar with a few of the guests, but it turned out to be one of the best ever.

"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.

[@amberdawn5372]

@@GT_Walker maybe for some. But they used ‘absolute casserole’ as the ep title and that moment definitely wasn’t ruined. Sam says such an expected response in the context of the task that I think it would still have been shocking and hilarious

[@orangesilver8]

Sam calling Sue and Susan chicks was funny as they both thought it was really weird, but it's more common in Australia so Sam just thought it was normal.

[@davidyoung5114]

Sam would be my odds-on-favorite for TASKMASTER's fourth Champion of Champion series, as he's very artistic (post-it note 'The Scream' was incredible!) and willing to roll with whatever happens (the 'Mischief' task by Susan!).

[@chrisparti]

This is one of the many reasons I love Task Master, it introduces you to new comedians who are absolutely amazing. All the contestants are great in their own ways, but Sam and Lucy were my favourites in this series.
