He do doesn't care for doing this, he's the most apathetic first on the show.

Joe getting 24 out of 25 possible points has got to be one of if not the most dominant single-episode performances out of a contestant on the show ever. Especially with that commanding live task at the end. And yet he still just looks a bit sad about it. What a pleasure to witness.

[@iliketrains3495]

Katherine Ryan got 30 in one episode due to a highly questionable scoring system, and now *SPOILER* Bridget Christie got 25 in a recent episode

Joe always looks like he would like to say something, but never does :D

[@bismuthcrystal9658]

We see in Joe the expression of a phenomenon seen primarily in the populations of England and Wales, which linguists have begun to refer to as the "superstammer." What is occuring when his mouth hangs open is the same mechanism as a stammer, however it is so exaggerated that the words do not even begin to emerge. This has been called the "Wilde Avoidance Phenomenon," as it is theorized it was a selection responding to the pressure of Oscar Wilde's scathing remarks (though many hold Lord Byron as an earlier example of this phenomenon). This timidity, combined with the lack of large predators on the British Isles, has also led to the curious lack of environmental awareness we see in this episode. Even a large, high-contrast cow can go completely missed due to this lack of pressure. This can be mistaken for boldness, but make no mistake, these creatures do remain extremely timid and must be approached softly and slowly. Even an "Alright, mate?" can cause acute distress.

40:09 Joe's mental maths are genuinely impressive here

[@lred1383]

i'm not entirely sure why people are praising him so much for it. 100-19 is 81, Greg gave more than enough time to calculate that, and when you see 81 you KNOW you're dealing with a multiple of 3. So you don't really have to do any math stuff at that point

[@Yattien89]

@@lred1383 Eh, what? How do you KNOW you are dealing with a multiple of 3 and don't need to do maths just because it is 81? The question could have been 100-19 divided by 20, at which point the answer is 4 (rounded down). It was impressive, he had it in almost a second or two of hearing 27. Fuck all to do with knowing it was 81. Now if you'd said "as soon as he heard the number was 27" then fair enough but 21, 22, and 23 would have been 4 (rounding up).

@@Yattien89 well, i learned the multiplication table for numbers 1-10 back in 3rd grade, and it's stuck with me forever. It's not really math if you just remember the answers without calculation, is it? But for really big numbers, there is a trick: if you add up all digits in a number and the sum is divisible by 3, then the whole thing is also divisible by 3. For example, 3241647415769: 3+2+4+1+6+4+7+4+1+5+7+6+9=51, which is divisible by 3, so the whole thing also is

The fact that Joe looks so depressed during the "clisp" tasting task and the sufferer between the energy of him and Ian is so funny!

Joe had his moment to shine in the live task. That was pretty smooth!

Joe Thomas is really smart 👏

Joe absolutely killing it in this episode, i love it :D especially the last task showed his quick thinking skill

[@pippa_peg]

Joe really shone in this episode.

[@the1whereIwatch]

holy joe thomas. i'm stuck rewatching him roll up his sleeves. the editor of taskmaster is a saint.

[@thewingedporpoise]

I think that I underestimated Iain in his lack of sanity

[@DeeFightingDreamer]

After the episode where Iain goes "I found that very sexy." about Joe's task, I found a comment saying how Iain's attraction to Joe makes itself known in every episode. After "I'd like to see Joe's chest." I can understand what they meant.

Joe always looks like he’s having a complete conversation with himself

joe rolling his sleeves up while doing maths was the highlight of my day

till date, they have reached £3005 of their £5000 goal. no other updates, but some kind soul ended up donating £5 just to be closer to the Sinnerman himself 😂

It is brilliant but I cant say it is simple. This is as simple as the paintings of van Gogh!

[@krashd]

In what way is that German number relevant to eggs?

@@krashd it might have been a recurring thing like the word pink and the fruit, etc because there was a German word in theree before Elf-11

"Use the crystals! Use the angels!" is an underrated Iain quote.

What? Gibson's Guinea Pig was wonderful! 2 Pts?!! This is outrageous!

[@SilkeH6]

Joe's thoughtful confidence in that last live task is quite something, especially when compared with his general demeanour in the studio.
