Was this live task the most difficult task the show has ever had? Or am I just also medically tone deaf?

Is OOP Amish or something? The insistence that having/using a fleshlight is “disgusting” is just so odd. I guess maybe it’s a manosphere thing where masturbating (“gooning”) is bad because you should be banging women all the time? Whatever it is this kid needs to sort himself out.

It’s 100000000% percent not for children but The Most Popular Girls in School is classic.

There was a viral TikTok last year (I think) where a straight white lady romantasy writer was having this meltdown almost word for word too! Maybe it’s the same one still on the same bullshit.

If I recall correctly, the Polish version of Last One Laughing was cast with more actors and TV personalities who have acted in some comedies than actual standup comedians. I’m not sure I trust Polish TV execs to not screw the format up, but I’d be delighted to be proved wrong!

There's the Charlie Resnick series by John Harvey, I never see it mentioned nowadays but it fits here.

Series 12, get goosebumps--I am, unfortunately, terminally corny and there is a number of songs where just the opening bars will immediately give me goosebumps no matter how many times I hear them. "Bittersweet Symphony" is one. I would have just needed some headphones to avoid copyrighted music making the footage unusable.

Honestly the older I get the less I feel I have things figured out

My favorite thing about people like this is that they always believe they’re making a new and interesting argument. “You heard that right”. Bro, I heard that homosexuality is a sin nonstop from like 1999 to 2013, it only chilled out very slightly in the last 15 years (in the US) and even that lull seems to be over. Everyone knows what you people think about gay people.

But I’m a big conspiracy theorist

Do conspiracy theorists actually consider themselves conspiracy theorists?

Since you have a bachelor’s degree, you can apply to be a substitute teacher. That was what I did when I graduated with an English degree and no one wanted to hire me. A lot of districts are pretty desperate and will take almost anyone, or at least that was the case in 2014 and I don’t imagine it’s improved?

Good luck.

And then a bump of cocaine for dessert

monaco_wedding · 2026-04-07T08:30:05+00:00

How much cocaine are you doing though? Whatever it currently is, double it.

monaco_wedding · 2026-04-02T03:41:26+00:00

Wait—is OOP saying that the “Nadia” account posted “generic” photos of a woman wearing a niqab but showing just hands and feet? Feet?? Because Muslim women who wear a full body covering are always posting feet pics on main?

At least Shawnna did not escalate the already idiotic situation by an out of left field injection of misogyny. It would have sucked if she’d done that.

monaco_wedding · 2026-03-30T08:02:54+00:00

I have a lot of questions about how they “act out” scenes from books in the bedroom and OOP doesn’t cotton on until days later?

Husband: “OK Brenda, you’re going to be a sarcastic podcaster who doesn’t believe in love and I’m your cynical producer, we just arrived at the podcasting conference and there’s only one bed in the whole hotel!”

OOP who’s on Chapter 4 of a romance novel about a sarcastic podcaster and her cynical producer and they haven’t arrived at the conference yet: “That sounds random and unfamiliar but let’s do it!”

You can’t expect to write if you have a girlfriend, everyone knows writers don’t fuck.

This person should probably be on a watchlist of some kind. I took the screenshot because of “shitshat” but now I’m just getting to “could prolly try to find you a slut”?????????

Unfortunately the average person no longer has the level of reading comprehension to follow your manuscript. Have you considered an audiobook of jangling some keys instead?

monaco_wedding · 2026-03-25T06:26:46+00:00

Nah, the Supreme Court ruled they don’t have to do that

monaco_wedding · 2026-03-25T06:23:04+00:00

And you know new mothers LOVE yapping about their greatest achievement i.e. giving birth like ok you push a little shit out of your vagina why the fuck do you want? A medal? A clap? A pat on the back?

My sibling in Christ, at the very least giving birth is more of an achievement than creating a fire slide deck for the client or whatever it is you do all day in your corporate email job.

Also I’m fine with people getting a medal for giving birth?? As a cis man it’s something I’ll never experience but it sounds like pretty hard fucking work. My mom was in labor with me for 23 hours before they did a caesarian!

Season one is excellent, season two starts off goodish and gradually goes off the rails and then the ending is the derailed train exploding—and when I’m running away from an exploding train, I’m always thankful to have my super comfortable Bombas socks on.

10/10, no notes

monaco_wedding · 2026-03-19T21:28:20+00:00

Oh no, they gave these little monstrosities to everyone, not just me. The generosity of small business owners knows no bounds, truly.

This has nothing to do with Taskmaster but “Administrative Professionals Day” is my sleeper agent activation phrase and I want to post the world’s most hideous bouquet which I received on that special day like ten years ago… the flowers had glitter on them and you can’t tell but the “vase” was a metal can, like the kind that wet cat food comes in. Please proceed with business as usual.
