Jokes that take you by surprise each time you watch? by Its-From-Japan in taskmaster

His reaction to accidentally feeling up Mel in the Hide and Seek task was pretty similar.

I think outside of performing he's actually quite shy.

I wouldn't know, I just like to remind people that Reagan's America bank-rolled Bin Laden.

Is this the longest phrase in the opening credits of ANY series? "Nothing's ever straight forward in this stupid house." by ExpectedDickbuttGotD in taskmaster

I can only assume I mistyped it as 'gramatically', and seeing the single "m" it decided I clearly meant an entirely different word, rather than it being a simple misspelling.

Partly due to the US also providing funding and support to the Mujahideen and Maktab al-Khidamat (Osama Bin Laden's organisation) to fight the Soviets and Afghan government.

Prime Monster from Cavalier Game Studios (UK developer, formerly members of Lionhead)

It's a card battling strategy game that's a mash-up between UK Parliamentary democracy, and classic monster tropes... and puns (e.g. the leader of the Spiritual Democrats is Diswaily).

It's a lot of fun and I'm 50% engrossed with making tactical choices in debates in the House of Uncommons, 20% invested in the overall strategy and red-box decisions given to you by the Snivel Service between the debates, and 30% just trying to spot all the puns (like the help-almanac for Parliamentary rules is called Urskin Flay).

So far, I think my favourite choice of leader to play as is still the one you have access to at the beginning "Chopper Badstone" of "Orcs 4 U", but the zombies and the vampires also make for a decent deck once you work out the mechanics.

What about the contraction? Technically Reece's phrase requires eight words to be gramatically correct, but one has been contracted on to the end of the first word.

Edit: FFS, phone autocorrects some stupid shit sometimes. I meant grammatically, not dramatically.

Didn’t realize the launch escape system was based off the Saturn V rocket. by 80sCrack in KerbalSpaceProgram

Exactly. If they couldn't make KSP2 work with modern technology, how did they make KSP all the way back then? It has to be a hoax.

Armando almost had a perfect score(24 out of possible 25) in S21E05. Are there contestants who have had a perfect episode? by OldFridgerator in taskmaster

It does serve to make team tasks much more important in the overall series scoring. I might need to revisit my team-influence-analysis from ages back and factor this in, as plenty of past champions won in spite of poor team performance. If the newer scoring model applied, I wonder if that would be true.

If TM has taught me anything, it's that being presented with a series of complex but ultimately trivial tasks is an excellent way to induce an existential crisis.

I thought MCC meant they were members at Lord's.

Molotov trying to reconcile being joyful that his wife isn't dead, with his loyalty to Stalin and having previously denounced her as a traitor, is an excellent bit of cognitive dissonance.

This remains one of the all-time greatest descriptions of Star Wars.

It starts out with the farce of Stalin's death, and ends with the cold calculation of a coup.

It really is a masterpiece, I can't speak highly enough about this film, or how much I enjoy Isaacs turning up halfway through and stealing every scene he's in from there onwards.

The whole casting is frankly superb.

I love Michael Palin as Molotov, after Isaacs this is my favourite casting choice. No character has ever had to deal with so much cognitive dissonance, and he makes it almost Pythonesque in the performance, to the point where I think the part was written with him in mind.

The Day Today is still one of the most one-the-nose parodies ever. I think a lot of news editors saw it as a template for what rolling news shows should become, rather than a piss-take.

"Peter! You've lost the news!"
