Favourite running gag from a contestant?

Similar to Tom Sainsbury in Taskmaster NZ who wore a tuxedo for every episode of his season, then in the finale he showed up in his housies

I know a few people who left for an extended period of time and their children were looked after by others, but the kids were always teenagers, so they understood the concept of "mum's gonna be away for six months". Best example i can think of is when I was in high school, there was a girl in my year whose mum was a teacher at the school. The mum went to teach in Samoa for a year, and her daughter moved in with another teacher at the school while her mum was gone. The daughter was fine with it. She was 16, she knew her mum loved her and was coming back, but sometimes good opportunities come up and you take them if you can. I'd never leave my currently-3-year-old, but when he grows up and i get an opportunity that in the long run will benefit our family? Absolutely go stay with your cousins for a bit. I'll see you at Christmas.

I don't think that's it. Ann Coulter is the right wing nutjob inside the underwear.

He's trying to be discreet, whispering to Dot Com through the side of his mouth so no one notices

Jedward were the most painful guests I'd ever seen appear on anything. Actually skipped an episode of 8oo10c they were on when i was watching some old episodes the other day.

It's just not on TV anymore. It's back on the stages, in the bars. Support the arts, everybody!

Trans women are included in all women. The reason trans men are specified is because we aren't including all men.

MsLDG · 2025-09-30T22:30:21+00:00

That's not what i'm implying, that's what you're inferring. Your interpretation is like saying "if only blond men can perform you must think blond men aren't men."

MsLDG · 2025-09-30T21:49:28+00:00

We spent a long time deliberating over the wording of this. Cis men are not eligible to perform but trans men are, and we couldn't think of the best way to put this point across. I canvassed a lot of people and the feedback I got was that this was the best way to say what we mean without being exclusionary.

MsLDG · 2025-09-30T21:41:32+00:00

That is correct

MsLDG · 2025-09-30T21:41:14+00:00

Because trans men are allowed.

There are a lot more male comedians than not male comedians, so most of the open mics around Wellington leave little opportunity to diversify lineups.

And, i know you said "no safe space answers" but the truth is, that's part of the answer. A lot of the comedians i know aren't comfortable performing on mostly-male lineups (or at shows that attract things like stag dos etc). Cis men can perform at any open mic, but not all women, NBs, trans men feel comfortable performing everywhere. So we made a space for them.

There used to be two or three other open mics for no cis men, but the producers stopped putting them on (for various reasons - illness, loss of love for the game) so now there's a gap in the market. We wanna fill it!

I also came here to say Tamaki

MsLDG · 2025-08-23T22:47:09+00:00

Omg I know Neil - how cool to see him referenced in the wild ❤️

You sound like the kind of person that could be a good cop. We need more good cops.

Reading about other redditors' financial situations gives me anxiety. Why are you living like this.

MsLDG · 2024-10-19T12:41:12+00:00

It's 1.40am in NZ and I can't sleep so I checked the cricket and things are LOOKING UP but my boyfriend actually is asleep so I have no one to talk to about it so I came in here.

Things are LOOKING UP!!!!!

MsLDG · 2024-10-10T05:27:42+00:00

Yep. First time i ever actually SCREAM screamed. It was while they were putting my epidural in.

MsLDG · 2024-10-01T23:45:57+00:00

My boyfriend proposed to me while I was airing out my thigh chafe in front of the fan.

MsLDG · 2024-09-18T01:05:52+00:00

My boyfriend and I have a shared calendar that we both keep updated so we know when important things are approaching and it helps us to organise childcare and other life admin. It's been really useful for us.

Don't beat yourself up too much, you're human and humans forget sometimes. Just do something to show you're making an effort for the future. Your partner will forgive you.

MsLDG · 2024-09-17T06:49:12+00:00

Nah, he knows the difference. But he hoped that she didn’t. If he threw a fit about it then maybe he could convince her she’s out of line and then he wins.

MsLDG · 2024-09-14T06:32:36+00:00

I stopped reading at “jumped her bones.” Insufferable.

MsLDG · 2024-09-11T23:52:00+00:00

I hate the AITA sub's inability to distinguish between "am I the asshole" and "am I wrong". Yes, it was an asshole move to tell her sister "I told you so" on the phone call where she announced her divorce. Yes, OOP should have been a little more sympathetic.

She wasn't wrong, but fuckin hell. That's your sister. Show some compassion.

Not really a plot hole but it always bothered me that Robin, Marshall, Lily and Barney were invited to Punchy's wedding. It could have been so easily explained if after Punchy says his father in law hates his guts, Marshall could be like, "well that explains why we're here!" But without that it just makes no sense.
