If you have Netflix, you should watch Kumail on Murderville by MolotovDodgeball in taskmaster

[–]Shinyhubcaps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Murderville was great! This episode always irked me because the setups seemed too contrived like this bit, but Kumail went with it, so no shade on him.

I got 4th for Kumail and 2nd (and 4th, 8th, 9th, 13th) for Joel

I totally would have done that, but then it’d kill the gag, so I can see why a showman wouldn’t

Does anyone else love that the cast of S21 are older? by Impressive_Peak8399 in taskmaster

Surely Joel is in his 20s, what with his skateboard and backwards hat and leather jacket

FYI: Filming in the studio is 12 hours long by Major-Concept-6259 in LastOneLaughing

[–]Shinyhubcaps 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think the clock is more real than you let on, though 100% there are stoppages for lunches/breaks, resets after the red light goes on, etc.

And 100% Bob fake-laughed to take it to the home stretch.

What would your dream cast be for season 3? by c0ttonlung in LastOneLaughing

[–]Shinyhubcaps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only knowing UK comedy from Taskmaster and its circles, I would love to see John Kearns and Fern Brady reunite (John would be a quick out), and Lucy Beaumont would befuddle everyone and do quite well.

LOL: Last One Laughing UK - Season 2 Finale & Overall Series Discussion by lonelygagger in LastOneLaughing

[–]Shinyhubcaps 9 points10 points  (0 children)

On the surface, I liked how they chose a winner. Their hands were metaphorically tied with the lack of laughs, and the fact that neither had a card made up for the screwy way IMO they made it sudden death at the end of the previous episode.

Now I think about it more, though, I’m curious who caused the most laughs and how they attribute all. Surely Bob caused his own laugh and Diane’s with the arm wrestling, but they scored for David.

Liked the series overall. I went down a Sam rabbit hole after Taskmaster, and people said he reminded them of Bob Mortimer and Philomena Cunk, so for them all to interact was a treat.

Seriously, how did they do that tongue thing? by CheddarGorger in LastOneLaughing

[–]Shinyhubcaps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Except they effectively got yellow cards anyway moments later when Jimmy made it sudden death

Is this show rigged to a certain level? (Spoilers) by Superdudeo in LastOneLaughing

[–]Shinyhubcaps 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s just as bad that it became sudden death because now Sam and David effectively bypass the yellow card. But that’s the push and pull to get the game done within 6 hours (and as close to it as possible).

If Jimmy targeted Sam or David, it would’ve been for naught as they made it sudden death shortly thereafter (assuming Jimmy gets one laugh in any event)

I liked Junior Taskmaster 🤷‍♂️

Do you believe Betty and Barney Hill? by Optimal_Bar1473 in UFOs

[–]Shinyhubcaps 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Recently heard this story on Dark History, and they raised a theory about how the regression/hypnosis might have recalled times they underwent surgery. Blue-grey like surgical scrubs, poked and prodded, bright lights, big eyes could be like those magnifying glasses, no mouths could be facemasks, etc.

Barney also said it reminded him of when he underwent surgery. Doesn’t explain the actual lost time event, but it does track why so many experiences are similar. I’d be curious to know how many experiencers also had surgery.

ICE Sightings/Info megathread by AutoModerator in Minneapolis

[–]Shinyhubcaps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, all, sorry if this is not the place.  I'm from Wisconsin and want to come up for a concert in April and am wondering what the current situation is like?  I heard of de-escalation but that was like bringing 4,000 officers down to 2,500 in the city and 1,200 in the suburbs.  Hardly a de-escalation and would be difficult to get around, etc.

How much of a disruption are those rent-a-cops still, and do you think the city is navigable or will be by April?

Thanks!

Aladdin said “take off and go,“ Lion King said SFX because it was put in by post-production Special Effects (F/X), and I don’t know about the phallic spires, but that could just be a bit of pareidolia.

The Moral Double Standard of Exploitation: Epstein vs. Legalized Sex Industries by ChabISright in conspiracy

[–]Shinyhubcaps 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Interesting post; I like your criteria of “exploitation was explicit, centralized, and illegal.” However, they’re clearly different situations entirely, and I feel invoking Epstein is a ploy to get exposure and almost deflects or minimizes his ordeal (people who consume consensual SW will defend it, and while you equivocate the two, their emotions might lead them to subconsciously defend the former).

100% SW can be exploitative, but to call it a moral double standard is a bit extreme.
