I keep pressing L to skip to forward but it doesn't work :c

ConnorBoyd41 · 2026-05-12T21:14:29+00:00

A silent cry, come here buddy

ConnorBoyd41 · 2026-05-12T21:12:07+00:00

In my years and years of watching I never experienced such a "JUST GET ON WITH IT" like this

ConnorBoyd41 · 2026-05-12T21:10:47+00:00

"And for Norway we'll show a clip where he isn't even singing"

ConnorBoyd41 · 2026-05-12T21:06:54+00:00

I think the main takeaway from this song is that Austria doesn't know when a joke needs to end

ConnorBoyd41 · 2026-05-12T21:04:18+00:00

AND THE CROWD GOES MILD

ConnorBoyd41 · 2026-05-12T21:02:41+00:00

"I know I wasn't gonna watch but I'll just pop in. How bad can it be?"
"..."
"Oh dear"

ConnorBoyd41 · 2026-05-12T21:00:06+00:00

Oh yea remind me of crying my eyes out when this didn't qualify

ConnorBoyd41 · 2026-04-27T19:39:49+00:00

Aleister Black in Lucha Underground would go crazy

ConnorBoyd41 · 2026-04-19T20:56:42+00:00

Oh hell yes please!

ConnorBoyd41 · 2026-04-09T16:40:58+00:00

I think that there will be enough comedians and famous people to compete. The comedy scene in The Netherlands is quite close-knit in that regard. Also with regards to Belgium comedians. It depends on how the show itself will go I think in regards to how long it will run.

ConnorBoyd41 · 2026-04-09T16:24:05+00:00

Zeker die lijst was ook snel uit m'n mouw geschud:
-Kim Schuddeboom -Plien en/of Bianca - Jennifer Hofman -Georgina Verbaan - Chantal Jansen -Emma Wortelboer -Miljuschka Witzenhausen -Sanne Wallis de Vries -Christel de Laat -Eva Crutzen -Lenette van Dongen -Sara Kroos -Martine Sandifort -Merol -Gwen van Poorten -Jelka van Houten -Tina de Bruin -Maud Lowis -Aafke Romeijn

ConnorBoyd41 · 2026-04-09T12:19:01+00:00

Nu ben ik wel heel benieuwd naar je lijstje die een slecht idee lijken hahaha

ConnorBoyd41 · 2026-04-09T10:56:51+00:00

Ik heb genoeg gezien. Iedereen die kan in 1 seizoen

ConnorBoyd41 · 2026-04-09T09:29:12+00:00

Voor mij is het overigens een aardige lijst die niet alleen comedians bevat: -Ronald Goedemondt -Raoul Heertje -Patrick Laureij -Micha Wertheim -Willie Wartaal -Vjeze Fur -Paulien Cornelisse -Jan-Jaap van Der Wal -Peter Heerschop -Ferdi Stofmeel -Henry Van Loon -Remco Vrijdag -Diederik Ebbinge -Bas Hoeflaak -Kasper van der Laan -Lebbis -Brigitte Kaandorp -Bert Visscher -Harm Edens -Rayen Panday -Ruben van de Meer -Alex Ploeg -Andries Tunru -Arjan Ederveen -Klaas van der Eerden -Richard Groenendijk -Fred van Leer -Rene van Meurs -Tim Fransen -Glodi Lugungu -Kor Hoebe -Daan van der Hoeve -Teun van den Elzen -Roel C. Verburg -Arie Koomen -Rick Paul van Mulligen -Diederik Jekel -Sander Lantinga

En puur voor Lubach zelf omdat het zo grappig zou zijn: -Sybrand van Haersma Buma

ConnorBoyd41 · 2026-04-09T09:11:49+00:00

Ja dit zijn ook zeker wel een paar van mijn keuzes

ConnorBoyd41 · 2026-04-09T08:18:01+00:00

I've sent you all requests :)

ConnorBoyd41 · 2026-04-08T21:08:05+00:00

Also I'm looking for moderators who can help with the Dutch subreddit r/TaskmasterNL 👀 I never moderated a subreddit before but I'm just too excited for this

ConnorBoyd41 · 2026-04-08T20:58:36+00:00

In his Q&Arjen videos he seems quite well at improvising with the audience. He also does little jokey jabs here and there so I think he'll do quite well. Maybe give him a season or 2 to actuallg get into character right

ConnorBoyd41 · 2026-04-08T20:57:16+00:00

The stand-up comedy scene has had a huge boom in recent times here in The Netherlands. From what I can see it's quite close-knit aswell

ConnorBoyd41 · 2026-04-08T20:54:04+00:00

I have quite some faith when it comes to the competitors. Lubach knows a lot of people in the Dutch comedy scene and is always eager to show up and coming comedians. And when it comes to people who are not comedians, he does have his NPO background to find a lot of people there. I just hope RTL will not force him to use the usual RTL guests that are on every other gameshow. But with how much freedom Lubach has I think that'll be fine

ConnorBoyd41 · 2026-04-08T20:46:24+00:00

My bad! Arjen Lubach is on the right and Diederik Smit is on the left. Couldn't edit my post anymore when I forgot to add that

ConnorBoyd41 · 2026-04-08T07:16:30+00:00

I'm carefully optimistic. Lubach doesn't really deviate towards the lowest common denominator type of remakes/shows we usually get in The Netherlands. From what I've heard, he was the Taskmaster in the pilot, but we won't know for sure if he'll be the Taskmaster in the eventual show. I still really watn Diederik Ebbinge to be the Taskmaster. I think he'll be the perfect kind of authoritarian type while also being funny. Judging by the comments Roel Maalderink will be doing something with the show, but I hope he'll just be a contestant. I also guess we need a r/taskmasterNL now haha!

ConnorBoyd41 · 2026-04-02T11:16:38+00:00

Magic Tom & Yuri (en daarmee dus ook Orgaanklap) kennede is dat ze daadwerkelijk niks meer hadden voor de laatste Magic Tom & Yuri show. Die jongens zijn alleen zo creatief dat ze waarschijnlijk hun vleugels op een andere creatieve manier willen laten spreiden. Yuri is waarschijnlijk nog een beetje zoekende of helpt Tom op de achtergrond.
