I hope it will be funny, it’s hard to tell from the trailer alone. It’s hard to not be funny on this show. Series 11 is the only one I stopped watching because everybody fucking sucked (Johnny Vegas is insufferable and that pregnant lady who pissed her pants at every joke killed all the fun). 1/20 ain’t too bad though. Fingers crossed this one will be good

I liked Mike Wozniak...

Series 18 is the season I will never watch. Just can't do it.

That is series 10, with pregnant Daisy May Cooper losing her shit at Richard Herring. Series 11 has Lee Mach and Mike Wozniak being awesome (and Jamali Maddix being an unfunny cunt)

The Taskmaster wiki failed me, ofc I meant series 10 :(

Series 11 with Mike Wozniak and Lee Mack is good!! Still haven’t managed to find all episodes though, I envy Brits who can watch them all on YT.

Is that the one that has the actually retarded lady? I forgot all about that one..
 
I feel very disconnected from popular culture, as everyone keeps referring to Kumail as very famous and an A-lister, and I am barely aware of who he is. Is he supposed to be a comedian or just an actor?

He's more of a "comedy actor" than a comedian. I think I talked about his past before, but he basically came up through Hollywood podcasting circles where the primary form of humor was 'pointing things out while acting indignant.' He then transitioned to acting with Silicon Valley and roided out for Marvel's Eternals. While most people will find him faintly recognizeable (if not mistaking him for the Indian guy on Big Bang Theory), he's likely very well known amongst comedians as 'the one who made it.'

Armando Iannucci is arguably a bigger deal, but far less recognizable.
 
I am really liking Armando’s energy so far. Everyone else is in the “ ok but not good” category for me so far. A big drop off from last season, where I liked and enjoyed everyone from the first episode.
 
I don't agree with you all this time. I quite like this line-up just after the first episode. I had no expectations and didn't know any of them. The american pajeet isn't offensively bad, just a bit cringe. Peter Moulineux got me with two jokes (the final task one and "To think you've built this..."). Joel feels like he loves the show, enjoys being there and came to win (might go either way, Gamble or Acaster). I really like the ginger hag but I must not thirstpost. The other hag is whatever for now but there's plenty of time for character development.
 
I though the funniest joke in the episode when the smiling egg in pants guy went "that's like the end of your movie The Eternals" and I thought "no one watched that movie" and He'sSoFamous instantly same the same thing.
So-so start so far. I don't like it when cast members are full on happy to be here mode and here it's 4/5ths of the cast.
 
It's not chaotic enough. Hopefully he's so famous comes out of his shell and will actually be something of note rather than a "I really wanted to be on the show and my agent said nah and I was like fucking do it!" Cause right now it seems like he's been watching the show and feels too confident that his failures are more embarassing to him personally and less entertaining.

American Jeet ego.
 
I enjoyed this little outtake, they take the piss out of Kumail a bit and he looks like a good sport.

YouTube Short

I wish they released more outtakes, I still want my "math vs maths" debate.

Always thought it was almost too on-the-nose how they sold the format to other countries. Like, the literal template. A snarky taskmaster, a submissive but quick-witted goon. It's a great way to utilize local talent instead of forcing some kind of comedic vibe, granted I've only watched our local version. Sure as shit done better than Last One Laughing.
 
I think the line up this season seems fine. The only thing Im missing is someone younger. It’s always fun to see how someone in their early-mid 20s takes on a task vs someone middle aged or older.

I can’t believe Norwegians get the kamelåså guy as their Greg.

I tried watching the Canadian Last One Laughing the other day and it fucking sucked ass, even though it had fucking Jon Lajoie of all people in it. The entire premise is just really bad.

It's really too bad that the series with Katherine Parkinson had to be tanked by a.) no audience due to covid and b.) Daisy May Cooper being unfunny and just generally unpleasant.

Joel Dommett is about the gayest straight man I've ever seen. I don't mind him though, he seems to have that school shooter gene that means he might have a mental breakdown in the course of the season (see also: Ed Gamble, Joe Thomas, Mat Baynton)

Me too lol, I was like wife?? Nigga don’t you know you gay?? But yeah, him getting the egg task was probably a good choice, he’s going to have many break downs for sure.
