[@Jayk-kz7sh]

HurrayTsk there’s a moment I think in the last episode of series 5 where Sally basically asks Alex to do the whole task for her, or else she do something wildly humiliating to him. That sticks out in my mind just for being the last time Alex did a task for someone since Al Murray paid him off. Given that Sally did pretty much torture him throughout, he was definitely scared she’d follow through haha!

I remember reading an internet comment once from someone saying they couldn't watch Taskmaster because they didn't like Alex Horne. But considering the amount of abuse and torture Alex goes through on this show (i.e. coffee waterboarding) you think this would be the perfect show for people that don't like Alex.

@@ILuvAyeAye :P Well I asked Jasmijn is she was Dutch, because Jasmijn is quite a Dutch name. Jasmine would be German or English, that's why. She could also be Flemish though.. Either way, I'm so glad I found other people that don't like ASMR. It's horrific sometimes, when it appears out of nowhere in video's. Like loudly whispering in your ear or something. I like the noises when I'm standing next to them myself (like the soft tingling of a metal element in the curtains, while the wind blows through them) but nót on a recording and nót so loud that it's "happening in your ear."

[@chestersnap]

I like how even Alex was like "these golf puns are terrible. I can't believe I wrote them" _and then he said them anyway_ 😂😂

[@mylatahiri2572]

I think I'd rather have the dog turds dropped on my face than have to listen to Phil's noise again

[@varanchio]

Rhod's sound itself was really satisfying, honestly

[@garrotmon]

I just need to know how long Phil stayed at their house

[@MrKahrum]

Its James. Phil still cant leave. Every time he asks, James calls Greg and tells him the situation, then hands the phone to Phil. Phill becomes slightly more depressed and says "you are the Task master" "I did" "ok" "ok" "im sorry sir", and then hangs up and hands the phone back before going to do the dishes

[@hopevanrossum9909]

It still winds me up that Kerry got away with bringing a friends box set in when the series ended in 2004 so you couldn’t have a complete box set from the 90s🤣🤣

[@KelpTheGreat]

Well Phil is obviously still alive post-90's, so would he not count either?? XD

[@meinenklinke]

Everyone knows the 90’s didn’t end until 2004. Look at a picture of Hillary Duff that year and tell me it wasn’t still 1999.

[@p.s.8891]

​​@@KelpTheGreat but Phil Wang "was created" in the 90s, the Friends box no. The series yes, the DVD set itself no.

[@KremitFrogman]

@@KelpTheGreatPhil was released in the 90s. That box set was released in 2005. I’m with @hopevanrossum9909

I honestly thought Rhod was going to build the hole around the ball.

Me too, zero shots, we win

It did say that the ball had to be struck, though. If it hadn’t, I daresay he *would* have built it around the ball.

kerry's "ooh" at phil's cursed twelve mouth action had me in hysterics

[@Hexen_Wulf]

I think Jessica had a point with her noise. If you had heard that outside you'd say "What was that awful noise?" Not "What were those series of noises?"

[@nikilasecondaryemail5812]

ahh the episode that marks the start of the sexy greg photo saga

[@CashKingD]

Most tried playing games with Alex, Rhod tortured the poor man, and Phil actually *calmed him down*. Loving this show.

_What's in your pocket Alex? *_Well, I've come up with a game. I wanted to contribute to the format_* Oh, the irony.

I'm fairly sure that was the joke.

[@maxscameraguy]

Rhod is litterally trying to be a dominatrix with Alex and I love it.

[@laurenmacdonald7046]

Everyone always talks about James or Rhod but I think Phils probably the funniest and Jessica and Kerry are both really fun. Jessica's noises kill me. Really good chaotic cast, this and season 4 have been my favorite.

[@powerpointnight3710]

With everything happening in the world, this makes me calm down a bit.

i find it amusing that james' name is pronounced like they are pointing out an rpg character. " bill, a fighter. mike, a rogue. James, A caster."

I've been binging this show as if my life depended on it and there's no way that if I ever see Alex I could contain myself from shouting "it's little Alex Horne", as I look up at him

phil wang is the most naturally funny person on this panel. hes quite subdued but so incredibly witty and totally random. imagine having him as a friend. how fun

He’s the brother of a friend of my friend and I can confirm he is as funny in ordinary life!

You can imagine having him as a friend much more vividly by listening to his BudPod podcast with his friend, Pierre Novellie!

Taskmaster day, I was having a tough day and then you came along. Great season! Love this cast

[@resplendentreveries]

Rhod's “People say my ADHD makes me shit at problem-solving" is the biggest fucking mood

[@Clafdord]

the best part of rhod's torture is that you can see broken eggs on the ground and some yolk on alex's chest, which means that rhod tried tossing eggs at him and for whatever reason they decided to leave it out of the cut

[@RealBradMiller]

We need a Taskmaster XL, same as QI XL!

[@obesus787]

Holy shit! I never noticed!

[@DaijDjan]

According to another comment, he basically used an egg as mouth gag - and they cut it out due to getting too close to real torture..

A bit too aggressive in the putting though. It's not like boxing, where you try to punch *through* the other guy. You're supposed to end up closer.

I wonder how Phill Wang is doing living with James Acaster now. I hope they’ve made a good life together.

[@davimurph]

Yes. They are growing all their own food, which confuses and annoys their best friends who live next door.

[@unkwn0032]

idk what i'd do without taskmaster in quarantine

[@MinekEzQM]

What I really (really) admire in this show, that the creators (Alex, Tim, etc) take a contestant's effort and turn it into a task in a latter series. For example Kerry makes Alex try to score a goal with a football at 15:30 , and that comes back later in s12 e05 as "Prevent Alex from scoring a goal" Another example is the infamous "Sit On The Cake" task. (s06 e10 ---> s12 e05)

[@lunamoss1733]

Also wondering if the best noise task came from season 5 (don’t know which episode) where Bob Mortimer accidentally created a good noise a wished that was the task

[@matthewbarratt4935]

Mike Wozniak 's tush would be in a better condition if Kerry hadn't thought that a fart would be the best sound.
