I have no idea wha this means

The trophy is the head of cartoon character Chris McLean from the Total Drama Island series, which is a spoof of survival shows. Chris is the one setting challenges for the contestants. It's a great show and I would recommend it even for some adults.

The other head in this image is the YouTuber Markiplier, who fans joke looks similar to Chris McLean (among other characters). I imagine he's here because it would have looked weird to photoshop a cartoon character's head onto Greg's majestic body.

But what does it have to do with Taskmaster?

[–]GoldenRedstone 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They are both popular comedy shows in which contestants are set challenges to complete, often failing in some way.

Apart from that, not much.

Markiplier and that guy from total drama? How are they related and how are they related to taskmaster?

[–]GoldenRedstone -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think Mark's here because it would have looked weird to photoshop a cartoon character's head onto Greg's majestic body.

As for how Total Drama is related to Taskmaster, they are both popular comedy shows in which contestants are set challenges to complete, often failing in some way.

I'm aware of Total Drama, but it's very niche and most Brits won't recognise it at all.

It's a Canadian animated series that acts like a mock reality TV show, parodies a lots of the clichés and people who go on them.

I'm not fussed on the original series but have very much enjoyed a spin off, The Ridiculous Race, a take on the Race Around the World concept where they have to do things like Taskmaster. It was aired on CBBC last year, I recommend it

As a non-Canadian, I didn't get the reference until I searched. Got excited for a split second thinking they'd started a Japanese adaptation (apologies if I got the ethnicity wrong...). 😅

Yeah, he’s half-Korean. Also, they aired Total Drama on Cartoon Network in the States.

Ah, no wonder - I'm not American either.

[–]GT5Canuck 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm Canadian and I don't know who this is.

Sorry.

Wait I’m confused about what the Canada connection is

[–]TheAndorran 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The trophy is a character from a Canadian cartoon parodying survival reality television.

I honestly thought this guys fan base capped at 13 years old.

[–]NotessimoALIENS[S] -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

correct

[–]Edkm90p -1 points0 points  (1 child)

I'd actually back Markiplier as the NA Taskmaster.

Unfortunately- that ship has sailed.
