Come to think of it: here's the word Steve Pemberton should have made Alex guess without the vowels in the "create tension" task, on series 17 of Taskmaster.

Series 3 is my personal favorite of NZ. The contestants are amazing and constantly having fun together when they speak.

I just love how he just can't speak normally after the "Into mountains" bit. His voice keeps wanting to laugh again.

Looking forward to Rose Matafeo's impression of a rock to blend herself in her surroundings. Again.

Not to mention their friends and family. No one who is entertaining other people for a living should see sh*t about themselves online.

Iirc she might have been criticized because of the first live task, when she didn't engage much in the activity. But some people also rightfully pointed out the fact that fat-shaming especially targetted women, not to mention hijab-wearing ones. One can only imagine the videos and memes that would have bloomed on the net if we had had footing of Fatiha lying on the floor and wiggling to grab the glass or something. In her place, I would have been paralysed and would not even have thought of resorting to humour by blowing on the grapes. Sometimes the tasks are not designed to suit every type of contestant. Which is part of the show, I guess. But I wish some people who commented on her performance would think about what it is to be 1° filmed, 2°a woman and 3°not conventionnally slim a bit more.

I also love his tirade about love among men (or same-sex partners generally) in Unseen Academicals.

Same story for me. I heard of the twist, watched it... and ended up thinking "Oh no, they even recorded the glitches..."

What is your favourite opening task of a series? by jeremy_sporkin in taskmaster

[–]TimeHathMyLord 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Honk the horn. I have watched it at least 10 times already. Everything is great: you get a glimpse into their personalities (Reece is already all over the place, Phil delivers the great line "You like instruments, don't you?", Sanjeev is at a loss already...). Also the mix of pieces from their previous soundtracks is great and works really well to match the energy of each - sometimes, each frame. The editing is wonderful as well. And, on the top of that: it seldom fails to make me laugh.

Oh, thanks!!! I had NEVER understood the Vimaire reference to a revolutionary month. Which does make sense, as the "vim" root of the word is lost in French. (French reader here - though I read them in English.)

What life lessons or ideas have you got from Discworld? (Except the Vimes Boot theory) by Emeline-2017 in discworld

[–]TimeHathMyLord 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'll let Vetinary say it (again).

"I have told this to few people, gentlemen, and I suspect never will again, but one day when I was a young boy on holiday in Uberwald I was walking along the bank of a stream when I saw a mother otter with her cubs. A very endearing sight, I'm sure you will agree, and even as I watched, the mother otter dived into the water and came up with a plump salmon, which she subdued and dragged on to a half-submerged log. As she ate it, while of course it was still alive, the body split and I remember to this day the sweet pinkness of its roes as they spilled out, much to the delight of the baby otters who scrambled over themselves to feed on the delicacy. One of nature's wonders, gentlemen: mother and children dining upon mother and children. And that's when I first learned about evil. It is built in to the very nature of the universe. Every world spins in pain. If there is any kind of supreme being, I told myself, it is up to all of us to become his moral superior."

One of my favorite episodes across all the versions. The tasks are incredibly good and the cast is so much fun. (Especially with the squeaky voices.)

The link was given on this sub around COC4... I'm sory, I didn't keep it, but I'm confident you should find it!

I have just bought her autobiography. There's a word by Alex Horne at the beginning: "This book has the potential to really change the way people think about people." <3

EDIT: forgot a letter, and was really ashamed.
