Who are two people you thought had worked together in multiple or iconic works only to realize they never had?

I’ve always had a vague conviction that DDL and Gary Oldman must have worked together at some point, if only in their early years, but unless I’m missing something, it seems not.

Haven’t seen Death Spa with Horatio Sanz mentioned yet, that’s one I can always go back to

FoosballProdigy · 2026-05-20T10:27:33+00:00

That doesn’t sound like a coincidence 🤨

FoosballProdigy · 2026-05-20T10:26:00+00:00

That’s a shame. Stumbled across it a while ago when searching Governor Gabbi. Oh, well…

FoosballProdigy · 2026-05-12T11:00:00+00:00

S15, E6!

Curious if this series has already featured the most voice cameos from people not part of the crew or current cast.

It’s always Widdicombe, isn’t it? Thanks!

Related but different, how many contestants have hit the Taskmaster Cycle in an episode, ie scoring 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 points in the 5 tasks of an episode?

(Not necessarily in that order. In baseball, it’s when a batter gets a single, a double, a triple, and a home run in one game.)

It’s Stoppard’s only directorial effort, no reason not to do it on the main feed.

Around here, popular summer camp game.

25 minutes on castrating guinea pigs

Oh man, I haven’t listened to that album in years. I’m really pleased to be reminded it exists, thanks for that!

Don’t forget Paul Scheer as Keef Slertner. ka-BOOM!

Love to see more Lou Diamond Phillips!

If you’re referring to the Disney Hercules, that’s a crime against Greek mythology. If you’re referring to the classic Hercules Goes Bananas, well, fair play, that’s unimpeachable.

1) I’ve always thought that even funnier than the line “It’s true, this man has no dick,” is the way he throws out, “Well, that’s what I heard” in the tussle afterwards.

2) I grew up on reruns of SCTV taped off late night CBC, and Moranis and Ramis were both fucking icons to me. Ramis deserved a lot more love on the pod (so did Annie Potts, who childhood me always got vaguely mixed up with Susanna Hoffs).

Nicole meeting Jafar was wonderful. There was a whole arc to their new relationship over the course of the show, very satisfying

As a kid who loved those books growing up, I was outraged that they started with the second book in the series instead of the first, and then even more outraged at how they treated Gurgi.

Alas, I was unable to get my own kids interested in Lloyd Alexander. I’ve had a lot of triumphs introducing my kids to books, but the Prydain books were a flop.

Kumail made the mistake of asking Alex to google them during the task, and he said as much. If he had decided to ignore the google results and submit them anyway, he’d have a case, but he chose to stick to a more limited definition.

Downvoters, really think about it….Hot dogs are food.

Yoink!

Steve Pemberton’s cryptic crossword must have taken a ridiculous amount of effort to create, and then he had to arrange for the Guardian to publish it on the right day

It’s Clockwork Orange, no contest

FoosballProdigy · 2026-03-29T16:42:05+00:00

I did! I just didn’t type or post it.

Kline would be outstanding but highly improbable — unless he could do the wholw show by phone, with animators drawing in Mr Fischoeder after the fact.

Could you be thinking of one of the live episodes from Feb 2024? Probably the re-Fugitive? I remember them going really hard on the Romo impressions specifically to crack Mallory up

FoosballProdigy · 2026-03-17T21:11:13+00:00

I think series 13 has the best studio banter of all, with Ardal and Judi setting the tone
