The Best of Contestants Sucking Up to Greg Davies | Taskmaster | Avalon Comedy

TOP 3 best moments for me for suuuuuure

[@vacuumssuck26]

It's suuuuuper sinister. I love it, what a play from Katherine there.

[@adamplace1414]

I think the tattoo was really the first of many insane moments from this show - that definitely raised the bar for future seasons.

[@nadiarowbotham6273]

I don't get that?? It's literally tiny and just the name Greg on his foot lol. It's not like a huge risk

[@Zharghar08]

@@nadiarowbotham6273 It doesn't need to be risky to still be a nice symbol. He committed to have a, more or less, permanent image commemorating greg and his time on greg's show inked on his body. It's silly and unnecessary, but massively flattering.

[@ems7623]

@@nadiarowbotham6273 Mate, he got the name of a co-worker tattooed permanently on his body for a few "points" on a comedy game show with jokey prizes. Tell me you would do that for your job. I don't know what would be a "huge" enough "risk" for you on a comedy game show. Maybe a game of russian roulette would satisfy your standards?

[@shlock1459]

Lol as EMS 76 said, this is literally permanently putting your coworkers name on your skin for a game show. Also none of the tasks are risky…so yea😅

[@adamplace1414]

@@nadiarowbotham6273 It's .. A.. Tattoo. As in, it's permanently on his skin, for life, all to get a couple of points on a made up comedy show, where the points win him nothing except a fake gold bust of the man, once again, whose NAME HE PERMANENTLY INKED ONTO HIS OWN BODY. I know someone's said it before, but it would be like if a coworker at a temporary, summer job, dared you to get a tattoo of THEIR name on your body, and you did it, and no one even bought you a drink afterward.

Josh could never have known this show would become what it is now, and he bet big at the start. The tattoo remains absolutely legendary!

[@philh5292]

Josh's is the best gift for it's permanency - and the fact it was the first series and still hasn't been one-upped. With Katherine's a close second. Joe (Lycett's) chair is probably the most grotesque. 😂

[@disht2]

Yup can't miss an opportunity to spew your politics even on a comedy show meant to be a diversion from the everyday. Katherine has been my least favorite by a landslide because of the multiple occasions she does that.

[@philh5292]

@@disht2 I thought Aisling Bea was the worst for that - getting in umpteen of her regular Feminist comments. I expected Nish Kumar to be similar with his race comments, but he took to the tone of the show well and was far less relentless about it on this show - and Richard Osman's House of Games - than he is on most other panel shows. That's what I love about Taskmaster, House of Games, and Would I Lie To You - they're mostly just about fun for funs sake and the humour is warm and, mostly, politics and agenda free. That's so unlike many other shows nowadays and it's a big reason why they're three of my favourite modern shows. 🙂

[@philh5292]

@@joc1178 ? My post wasn't about the rights or wrongs of equality. As was perfectly clear. It was about it being an unnecessary debate to bring up on light hearted shows like this, House of Games, Would I Lie To You, etc. There's plenty of shows where they do get discussed on a regular basis but there's still room in the schedules - or damn well should be - for shows that are just about light hearted humour, and not every show making political / agenda driven points - from either left or right wing viewpoints. Nowhere in my post was it said those points shouldn't be brought up and addressed on more suitably serious or satirical shows, as they frequently are.

It's funny to think now the Katherine's gift is just a novelty piece of paper (might have just been a scam) because you can't get a title for a square foot of land. Also you can't buy land that small so you don't even own it. It's very likely that the company doesn't even own that land and it's just completely fake other than an unofficial piece of paper.

@@daniellamcgee4251 awesome, thank you! Brain and medical stuff always fascinates me. Any chance it could be related to my ADHD or EDS?

[@daniellamcgee4251]

@@ace.l.w Yes! Visual processing difficulties are common with people with ADHD, due to extra eye movements making it hard to track what is being looked at. Then the information being received from the eyes to the brain is scattered, and there can be difficulty sequencing that scattered visual information to make sense of a whole image. Also, some people who have ADHD have a bit of short term memory loss associated with reading. I am not sure if that applies to puzzles! Also, recent studies have found there are definite links between ADHD and EDS. People with EDS are significantly more likely to have ADHD than the general population. Studies are suggesting that maybe a gene associated with ADHD is triggering the different gene associated EDS. More interest and research Is being done exploring these links. People with ADHD and EDS often also have Dyspraxia - also called DCD - Developmental Co-ordination Disorder. Dyspraxia is where the firing of the brain can go out of sequence, so things such as ordering information like words or pictures. Co-ordinating body movements is a bit random! This most obvious sign of dyspraxia is clumsiness. A dyspraxic person could do tasks out of order, like drying their face before washing their face. They might have trouble with speech, and navigating themselves through space. I am mentioning this in case you relate to it. By the way, I am sorry you have EDS. That sucks. I have fibro. and CFS/ ME so can relate a bit.
