"Alex, mate, take this, go over there and just pop it in the hole!"

[@numbo655]

"That's harsh" hahah Doc had me in stitches

[@paulithai]

This remains the best piece of television I have ever seen

[@MajikkanCat]

I gasped in awe. I cheered. And then they zoomed in on the slow-mo. I actually yelled out “No!” when I saw his foot touch the carpet. Until that moment I had never really cared about sports. Until that moment. I think I get it now. ~Cat~

[@kischtrine]

I don’t know how often I’ve seen this task but it never gets boring. I enjoy every minute even though I know exactly what happens. I just realized today, that no one said they had to throw it. It says „get“ it into the hole. They could have spiked it on a long stick and drop it. 😂

Katherine crying over the red green sports mess is my spirit animal

[@kelm102]

Probably the most heartbreaking part of the hole-in-one shot is that Doc and Jon shook his hand to celebrate, only to turn around and vote to give him no points.

[@Trogdor390]

Taping things together? Red green? Are we sure this isn't secretly a Canadian episode?

[@radfatdaddy4169]

That'd be my response. I ain't touching Red Green. He's in Canada. This is just a red carpet shit bags!

[@zlozlozlo]

The way they strung him along was just perfect :D

[@literallymalware]

I just thought I'd introduce you to this super hilarious series me and my mom have been obsessed with for about a year lol

[@andrebenites9919]

7:31 This part when he stalls because he doesn't want the moment to end... Hahahah

[@sparpie]

The greatest plot twist in history.

[@benkata]

I think Doc's "That is Harsh" was said out of pure regret, once Joe came back in the room.

[@JarthenGreenmeadow]

lmao *Tearing up* "I dont care where the ball goes"

[@dreamincolor14]

I didn't realize there was such a long time from filming the task to being on stage

[@drewmaggio1275]

It's uncanny hearing everybody laugh at a doctor who reference, it's this stuff taught in UK schools or something?

[@r3cy]

yes. obviously. we're not savages.

[@CTGrell]

Well it is on telly on Christmas eve so it is endeed important for everyone. There's also not many shows what got famous world wide so it is really something to cherish

[@DR-54]

@@CTGrell Unlike, you know, Taskmaster.

[@EvieCorwell]

Doctor Who is a British cultural institution, of course most people there are somewhat familiar with it. Compare it to how, say, many, if not most, Americans are vaguely familiar with Friends.
