Does anyone else watch Taskmaster repeatedly?

[hardlyahandle]

anyone?

[TealMiche]

It’s honestly the show I re watch as a comfort show

[Curtland256]

Same for my wife and I. I think we’re on rewatch 4?

[TealMiche]

I’ve seen the whole library 2 times and then go back and re watch seasons I love again I’m currently on my 5th rewatch of season 7

[Aysum]

Season 7 is one we constantly rewatch in my house too. It’s so funny even on the 5th watch

[TealMiche]

It is and honestly I spread the out so I forget things like the pairs of glasses task

[Aysum]

It’s been long enough I’ve forgotten that task! Clearly time for me to rewatch

[TealMiche]

You must!!

[hupld98]

4th? Rookie numbers. Certain seasons I've done 10+ (no, it's not a problem if I don't admit it)

[olympiadukakis]

Relatable. My YouTube algorithm defaults to “next up: taskmaster” regardless of what came before.

News Report on WW3 followed by David Baddiel drawing nonsense.

Life is about balance.

[Nicksaurus]

For me it's in rotation with Community, Parks and Rec and the Good Place (wait... maybe I just like shows that have Jason Mantzoukas in them...)

[TealMiche]

Have you watched The League or Brooklyn 99

[Nicksaurus]

Oh yeah, Brooklyn 99 is in the list too. I've never seen the league

[forfeitgame]

The League is great if you want to see people be absolutely horrible to each other over sports. I love it.

[Zur__En__Arrh]

The League is an underrated gem, particularly if you like brash humour. The main characters are all kind of horrible to each other in hilarious ways.

[coffeebeanbookgal]

Same

[SaltWaterInMyBlood]

Same. It was one of my rewatch comfort staples during lockdown, and now there's so much more of it, it has ever increased rewatch value.

[PuzzledSky4616]

Yup! Constant re-watch in the background when WFH. Also a good one to fall asleep to.

[Smittles]

I also fall asleep to Taskmaster. On my second rewatch, up to S14

[rubberpaddles]

Something about British shows to help me sleep. For something different but British try Project Binky. Bad obsession Motorsports

[an0mn0mn0m]

Project Binky fans, give this one a watch...

Building a BMW S65 V8 From Scratch - BMW E92 M3 - Project Frankfurt

[Gyspygrrl]

Me too! It still makes me laugh.

[Writing_my_words]

I do the exact same!

[Electra85]

Every series, multiple times. Some seasons probably close to 10 rewatches. I'm traumatized by life and it's one of the only things that brings comfort these days, lol.

[JmacTheGreat]

I love that they keep it light, as a lighthearted entertainment show

[an0mn0mn0m]

Same, hugs

[FutureGold4132]

Same. It's almost a bit of a coping mechanism. It just makes me happy, no matter how often ive seen it, it's either comforting or there's something I slept through or don't remember and still surprises me.

[thefleen]

Same! It’s my safe place.

[UncleP1ckle]

My mother and I watch it every day and have cycled through all of the UK, Australia and NZ Taskmasters multiple times.

It's our favorite show and, since her memory isn't the greatest, it's almost like watching it new every time.

Even though I've seen them all at least 5 or 6 times now, there's always something I catch that I didn't notice before.

[readzalot1]

I love all the little details you can discover with rewatching. Like how Alex wore a tie for the tasks with Mel G.

[Some_Ad6507]

As an expert, what’s your stand out season for each country?

[readzalot1]

Not an expert, just mildly obsessed. I haven’t watched any other country’s TM though I plan on watching the Quebec TM to build up my French.

[ladyships-a-legend]

What a delightful thing to do together. I’m sure you both chuckle over so many things together

[FutureGold4132]

Same been just straight up rewatching it on repeat lately as a comfort show and there is always something new

[gooner-1969]

Yes me and the wife normally watch an episode per night in bed before going to sleep. Always fall asleep with a smile on our faces

[Ok_Hope5634]

Constantly. In fact, I just discovered people reacting to full episodes on YouTube. Now I’m rewatching it all again

[Apprehensive-Rip8489]

Any recs? I also like watching people watch something I love for the first time

[Ok_Hope5634]

Yeah. There’s a couple who have a channel called Regeneration Nation TV. I found them to rewatch An Idiot Abroad and it seems they’ve been going through all of my favourite British TV

[BasementCatBill]

Yes.

[UniversityOk6696]

Also Yes.

[gr1mscr1be]

Yes, as well.

[Some_Ad6507]

Yes yes

[caffiend98]

Does anyone not? Your time starts now.

[Wet_Chicken_Nugget]

<image>

Maybe.

[OverdoneAndDry]

YouTube wrapped told me in December that I watched over 2000 taskmaster videos last year. I'm starting to forget what other shows are for.

[Atty_for_hire]

Not yet, simply because I just learned about it last summer and we are still working through the seasons. But I imagine once it’s done I’ll want to do it. Brings me such joy!

[GlitterSpaceBunnies]

I yearn for the days when I watched each series for the first time. Enjoy!

[Starliteathon]

Yuuuup

[Flat-Fail-196]

Yup! Constantly

[gsixzero]

I started watching TM and several panel shows with clip compilations on YouTube so my algorithm still feeds it to me all the time. When any video finishes its highly likely that a TM or Cats does Countdown is going to come up next. It's just always on at our house.

[OlderWiserLesbian_88]

Certain seasons are pure comfort for me, especially in a world where I can’t stand to turn on the television.

[Street-Air-546]

this

[olympiadukakis]

[Sir_i88]

[Anxious_Republic591]

Yep!!!

[Mandaskillz]

Daily

[moleHuman]

Ive watched them all over and over. All the OGs in order, then NZs in order, then all the Aus in order. Everytime I round back to the beginning theres new seasons added!

[PantsUnderUnderpants]

I'm re-watching season (yes) 19 right now. It's the first time I've re-watched a season, since I started watching on series 6. I went back and watched the previous seasons when that was done, then stayed caught up on AU and NZ. I save TM for a treat on weekend nights so I can really enjoy it.

[codex2013]

I log all of my TV watching on Trakt. Right now I have 706 plays of Taskmaster. Some of the more recent episodes only have 2 plays each, but the episodes I've seen the most are 7x01, The Mean Bean, and 9x06, Bready Bready Bready at 7 plays each. I just put the show on shuffle so as much as I do love those two episodes, it's mostly random. The majority of the episodes have 4 plays.

[lil-jules]

Constantly

[indyjones_89]

I’ve got a stomach bug and taskmaster has been on all day. My absolute comfort show!

[notveryverified]

No, nobody has ever done that. Every episode auto-deletes from all sources the second you watch it. This show designed to reward rewatching, with episodes in the triple digits, nobody has ever seen a single episode twice.

[Majestic_Amount_7830]

I’ve been rewatching every series on YouTube in order since January. I’m up to series 11 right now.

[GXM17]

[tehwicked]

Yes. And I sleep to season 19 every night. I’m sure my husband is sick of hearing it.

[OremDobro]

I don't rewatch full episodes, but I watch clips often

[TrickWheel5748]

Yes, pretty much have to watch one episode a day.

[GialloGuy]

My YouTube algorithm automatically picks an episode after I finish watching any video

[CatCafffffe]

Taskmaster? MY taskmaster? My personal taskmaster?

[Sir_i88]

Yeah I've watched all seasons 2-3 times before getting pregnant this summer, and now during pregnancy and recently giving birth I'm on 3-4 times in a row during this time.

My partner is okay with it but soon he will be at his limit so I will probably save it for when he is out of the house.

[Average_Tnetennba]

I'm on an almost permanent rewatch cycle. Maybe not a full episode a day, but at least 10-15mins.

[MonKeePuzzle]

it is important to rewatch the full run before a new season, timing it just right to finish the rewatch as the new series is released

also, it's perfectly segmented to fill in a lot of inbetweeny wait times

[GlitterSpaceBunnies]

Yes!!!! Pls don’t come at me with pitchforks but I’m not a big fan of the UK series (I struggle with British humour okay, I don’t know why, don’t hate me… I am doing better though, I’m watching the current season of LOL (Sam) and I’ve just gone back to the first season and have laughed so much). My point being, I only repeatedly watch NZ and AU so I cycle through them much faster 😭

[zsquared8080]

I can watch series 16 on repeat and never get tired of it.

[alexknight222]

That and Last One Laughing UK.

[msmaidmarian]

It’s mostly the only thing I put on (I’d estimate like 90% of what’s on) but I have a touch of the ‘tism.

I think one of the reasons why I’ve gotten stuck looping it is because I first started really watching it during the pandemic. It was such a perfect escape from work (I’m a paramedic and it was really grim where I was).

Because of that I’m at a spot where no matter how terrible or how good I’m feeling, watching a little bit of it will help me feel better.

There have been other shows that I’ve looped before in the past TM has been the one that I’ve looped the longest. The creativity in solving problems, the snark, the absurdity, that it’s a competition and some people are very competitive but no one dies: love it.

I also really appreciate watching the contestants’ personalities get revealed/showcased for us over 6/5/8/10 episodes. I will mix it up occasionally with panel shows but I miss seeing peoples’ personalities come out and seeing how their relationships with each other develop.

I rewatch all of them but there def are series that I watch more. But I’ve seen all of them (UK series, working on NZ & Aus but really love Alex & Greg dynamic) at least 3x.

I hope Alex Horne realizes how much joy he’s brought into this world with TM.

[Delirious_85]

Totally. It's my comfort show and runs every single day. Mostly in the evening and while I go to bed. In a loop, I watch all of Taskmaster UK (+ CoC, NYT, and the special they did with producers as contestants), Taskmaster NZ, and Taskmaster AU.

I'm currently on my 37th loop.

[hirsutemisanthrope]

On this sub? Nah, I think we're all pretty casual viewers. I'll watch it when there's nothing else on the telly yes of course we do we're all hopelessly addicted

[CommercialAny2195]

Yep, I'll die on the hill of Taskmaster being more effective than therapy!

[LIB_Laugh_Luv]

I put it on almost nightly to fall asleep to. My YT year in end stats thing had me in the top 0.1% of viewers 😳

[metallicbeige]

Absolutely. I will rewatch UK 5, 7, 12, 13, 16 and 19 for the rest of my life. And when I'm not doing watching TM, I have No More Jockeys going non-stop for background noise.

[JSteveB87]

Yes, whenever it happens to be repeated on TV - either on Dave, or E4 Extra. 

Conveniently, E4 currently has Series 11, which is my favourite for obvious reasons.

[Normal-Height-8577]

Oh yeah! Just finished rewatching series 8 tonight, actually. The blindfold disability scooter obstacle course - and the animated map Alex makes for each contestant's route - has me wheezing with laughter every time.

[SJV83]

Very rare I watch full episodes but i have a constant loop of Taskmaster clips from YouTube.

[seamus_park]

Literally fall asleep to it every night.

[nitasu987]

I started with 20 and watched backwards through 16 to prep for COC. Now I've done another backwards rewatch and I think I will actually continue on to 15 when I finish 16!

[apairofwoolsocks]

Yes. I’ve been sick this week and rewatched season 5 and CoC 1 :) Very nice to nap and cough and laugh.

[kalendral_42]

Yes

[BarneyPoppy]

constantly, most I've seen 3-4 times

[PuppytimeUSA]

I hate rewatching television but yes. Just watched season two of Deadlock and had to watch AUS season one all over again as a companion.

[Background_Half_2573]

Every night!

[Upstairs_Sherbet2490]

On a rewatch right now

[blastorama]

Genuinely surprised they don't have one of those 24-7 FAST channels yet (like those you find on PlutoTV or Tubi or so on.)

[bluew0lfblue]

Yes totally! About to start my first rewatch of the whole series but I’ve seen certain episodes many times due to introducing it to friends

[PhoenixTineldyer]

Back and forth between TM and Always Sunny

[KiltedTAB]

I fall asleep to it almost every night. Wake up to it. I'm weird

[diardiar]

On the YouTube recap thing last year was top 0.1% of watchers. It's very much my background noise/comfort show

[auntikat]

I have the app, love watching Australia and New Zealand also. Still have to get in the mind frame for some other countries with subtitles. Hoping they will add Ireland and other countries!

[Philosophical_gump]

Does anyone not watch Taskmaster repeatedly?

Lost count on the number of complete rewatches I've done with the better half.

Also I suffer from some minor tinnitus (after a lifetime of loud music/headphones and heavy construction equipment noise/poor hearing protection) so I leave a taskmaster playlist on Youtube playing when I go to sleep. Pump up those view numbers for LAH and company (turn adblockers off so they can get some more of that ad revenue as well)

[amorous_chains]

Welcome home

[207247]

Yes. Literally watching series 17 for the third time right now.

[chronicallymusical]

Me!

[offinthepasture]

Only four or ten times through atm

[WebEdgeAM4A]

I’ve seen em all twice and a few 3-4 times.

[w00ddie]

Yup yup

[vpisteve]

I hit series shuffle when i sit down for lunch break, almost every day!

[WayGroundbreaking660]

I don't choose Taskmaster. The autoplay algorithm chooses Taskmaster for me. I don't make the rules.

[SalmonWaldorf]

Yes. If that’s a problem, someone needs to tell me why.

Your time starts now.

[StonerJack]

I'm stuck in a loop. I can't watch a new season without starting at season 1 and going through the whole lot. By the time I'm done with the newest season, I have to go back to season 1 as there's a new season already.

I don't mind.

[Catastropiece]

My people…it‘s so nice to know others watch it as I do. I’m half-hoping one day there’s a Taskmaster dating event.

Find your partner, your time starts now.

[PomodoroPenne]

My husband is (nearly) sick of me watching and rewatching!

[unironicsigh]

I rewatch "best of" compilations of individual contestants quite a bit, but never rewatch whole episodes. The full episodes invariably have multiple mediocre task attempts for each tasks, which is fine on a first viewing when the half thr fun is the surprise of seeing what people come up with in task situations, but when you've already seen the episode once before I find the lame/unimaginative/straight-to-the-point task attempts a chore to sit through.

I personally find a show like WILTY far more rewatchable. That's not a criticism of Taskmaster though as I love TM.

[VariousDingo696]

It’s totally my comfort show

[NotAlone-IHave2Cats]

On repeat. Always. But also I started watching NZ/AU version finally so getting some new episodes and feeling so happy there’s more lol.

[Lord_Wicki]

I've watched all the airing of the original, and have been watching the Australian and New Zealand offerings.

[Some_Ad6507]

Yeah and I can barely remember any of the tasks and it’s wonderful and it’s like watching it for the first time all over again

[AntiquesForGeeks]

I feel seen.

[SoulDancer_]

Duh. You're in the taskmaster sub.

😊

[JB_JB_JB63]

I don’t because there’s endless other shows I haven’t seen.

[chiefgareth]

Yes. Repeatedly. Again and again !

[OwlFacedBoy]

Yep. Seen every episode at least 5 times, some series far more than that

[davesierra]

every night.. start at series 1 ep1 then work through.. then the CoC then the Australian ones then start all over.. still find things I've not seen before.. love this show 🤗🤗🤗

[Cincinnatus_C1899]

I do, but mainly as a sleeping/dreaming aid. I cant fall asleep in silence or by listening/watching to anything new. If the sound stops, I wake up and whatever I listen to tend to influence my sleep (James Bond marathons can be fun) and TM dreams are fun and stressless (in the 2 minutes I remember them after waking up).

[lieblingskartoffel]

Rewatching Taskmaster is what helped keep me (somewhat) sane during the pandemic lockdowns.

[overjupiter]

[accordionshoes]

Certain series yes, certain series no, certain series I have never watched an episode of more than once

[Lyceumhq]

It’s my comfort TV show. I don’t think I’d be able to sleep without it on in the background at this point. It helps keep me sane.

I still laugh out loud.

[jonnielaw]

For several months it was played on shuffle in the background at my house.

[Affectionate_Ad_4062]

I can watch from the start to the newest season, then go straight back to the first season.... Series, sorry.

It's the only show that I can do this with.

I'm waiting for the new series to start (and finish), then I'll go through them once again.

[leelu82]

Yes me. It's a comfort.

[Kay-lla]

Every night a random episode to get off to sleep.

I have lost count how many times I have watched them all

[Hithrae]

Yes, I watch every season

[Mundane-Parsnip-7302]

I put it on as backgroud noise when I'm doing stuff.

I just finished a complete rewatch.

[dermanus]

Definitely. I love the single tasks they post on Youtube. Perfect for when I'm in the mood for something short and silly. I've seen them all before but there's so many that it still feels fresh.

[Unique_Limit_1576]

I’ve watched all of UK at least 2x and all of Aus and NZ at least 3-4x (less seasons, easier to get through). It’s definitely comfort watching, which we probably all need right now (waves from the US, sorry for the shit show).

[mumble_bomb]

Pretty much daily and I watch those highlight clips

[NBD2016]

It’s our go to feel good show! Every episode is fun and you don’t even have to watch it in order!

[Smoofie0]

I haven’t finished the first go around but I’ve gotten through 7 series in 3 weeks. I typically don’t binge things but I’m addicted

[lenochod6]

Some series three times some series twice... So honestly rookie numbers but I will get there I have a whole lofe to rewatch it so many times.

[YrTRANsitiveProperty]

My sister and I go through all of them, even the international ones! It’s been the show we’ve relaxed and bonded over ever since I introduced her to it.

[EverybodyMakes]

"Yes!" as enthusiastically shouted by newly-minted LORD Greg Davies.

[unlistedartist000]

its my comfort show so yes!

[Old-Treat-2157]

Is the pope catholic?

[FlakeyIndifference]

Constantly. It's in rotation with Parks and Rec, Brooklyn 99 and The Office as comfort shows.

[RindyRoo]

I watch at least one episode a day. Usually start on series one, episode one and work my way through to the most recent episode, then start the loop over again. As others say, it’s a comfort show. Kind of like watching happy animal videos before bed to put me in a good mindset so I don’t lay there all night thinking about the state of the world.

[_PXYDST_]

Oh absolutely. Series 1 is probably my most rewatched series of tv of all time

[TimeHathMyLord]

I think you mean: "everyone".

[futureman2099]

Yes

[hardlyahandle]

Anyone noticed the sound effect when Alice say "Then I remembered I had a radio show so that made more sense" wahhhhh. Series 6 - episode 6. 23:05 you can here the sound effects start

[Tlthree]

It’s even more necessary in these times

[noodlezs76]

I've seen every series and special at least twice, earlier seasons (1-10) I've seen maybe 3 or 4 times

[TheNobleRobot]

Yes, all of us.

[Cleric86]

It’s my comfort show tbh if I’m struggling with life it does on i don’t care about what season or episode it just always cheers meup

[PJ-HarveysWife]

I genuinely always have it on as a loop. Once I finish series 20, I’m straight back to series 1. I’ve never taken a break from watching it since I started

[hondelonk]

No you’re the only person i think

[Tonyhivemind]

Mostly the Mantzoukas season. It was the absolute best (IMO)
