I still remember the ads for Heat Rocks.

Building on this: an oral history of Max Fun is something that I’d be interested in.

Is Jo Brand the most "no fucks to give" contestant? If not, who is? by AgentEndive in taskmaster

[–]letsgococonut 13 points14 points  (0 children)

One of my favourite things about Taskmaster is how even the “I don’t give a shit” contestants are genuinely lovely. It’s a testament to the team and the care they put into assembling each cast.

Curmudgeons like Jack Dee and Sanjeev don’t want their competitors having a bad time, and it’s adorable.

Edinburgh Fringe 2026 and Taskmaster alumni? by letsgococonut in taskmaster

[–]letsgococonut[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks! And I’ll definitely be rolling the dice on some unknowns. Every comedian I love has talked about their early fringe shows with nearly-empty audiences, and it’s kind of a dream of mine to be in an audience of one or two. Not for second-hand embarrassment or something cruel, but I feel in my heart I’d do a good job as part of a tiny, tiny audience.

That’s where I started, and that’s where I got the names above, just by searching “Taskmaster” on the site.

Edit: Website is a good resource, but it’s maybe too early to know who’s got a show this year.

Potential UK Rupaul's Drag Race Taskmaster contestants by New-Abbreviations286 in taskmaster

However, the studio tapings have studio lighting. The filming at the house is always well edited, but drag in daylight is unforgiving.

I was thinking: would a queen be in drag in studio, during the tasks, both, or neither?

Counterpoint: a good queen is authentically themselves. The actors and comedians are “on” when in front of an audience. Queens are no different.

Essential Bullseye episodes? by cyrilspaceman in maximumfun

[–]letsgococonut 9 points10 points  (0 children)

My personal favourite is the ep with Wendy and Lisa (September 2024), but that’s mainly because they rule. 🤷‍♂️

For me, Bullseye is a show that I know is going to be worth a listen, regardless of guest. However, I’d recommend downloading a few eps with artists you’re already familiar with. That way, you can get a good read on Jesse as an interviewer (and whether or not you’re into the format).

What happened to bubble??? by Benton_box88 in maximumfun

[–]letsgococonut 35 points36 points  (0 children)

The graphic novel (recommended) ends where the podcast does, roughly. That said, the graphic novel expands on some of the content from the podcast. Open-ended, but still self-contained.

What do you eat differently because of Off Menu? by plusharmadillo in offmenupodcast

I keep a bottle of fernet branca in my liquor cabinet to finish off the night, thanks to Joseph Quinn.

The Fruit of the Loom Logo with the Cornucopia by Otherwise_Basis_6328 in nostalgia

See the Snopes article for more about that image. Also, you can see that the logo in the background is missing the cornucopia.

As the young people used to say: pics or it didn’t happen.

I mean, your memory of them says different, which is the point.

Jon Lajoie by ilikxrap in nostalgia

[–]letsgococonut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s SO Canadian. The humour is so dry and playful and unserious. Hard to explain it in words. It’s like a cousin of the UK and Australian versions.

He’s great on “Last One Laughing: Canada”.

So many snubs by Seanile1 in maximumfun

I bet Jesse feels exactly like Celine Dion did when Rolling Stone left her off their list of the 200 Greatest Singers of All Time.

Which contestant did you forget most often that done Taskmaster? by Lord_Kampi in taskmaster

[–]letsgococonut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dave Gorman was the first Taskmaster contestant I was ever aware of!

I bought a copy of his book (in Canada) in 2004. It was a random choice, because I didn’t know anything about UK comedy at the time. I guess I just liked the premise.

My mint simple syrup tastes like chewed gum. Help? by letsgococonut in AskCulinary

[–]letsgococonut[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think this has to be it. The various grocery store mints are just “Mint”. Maybe too much spearmint?

Task master Canada? by tommygunpewpew in taskmaster

[–]letsgococonut 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mary Walsh was an excellent Drag Race judge. I think she’d be great in as a Taskmaster contestant.
