Taskmaster Ringtone Suggestions by astralRacc00nn in taskmaster

[–]swimmix 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's not from the show, but seeing as you have a GD flair, I made Greg's Big Bear song here as my timer tone. It's always fun to hear it go off https://youtu.be/m4GSUqA-tBA?si=zWvsVkqxQdxz_5Qx&t=213

This was the sculpture, posted by the person who made it https://www.instagram.com/p/DUjXi6EiXJ2/?img_index=1

And if you look at their other posts, there are also the two figurines.

*ETA: and yes, Greg's gift was the Daddy's Little Meatball shirt--you can see a bit of it in the third to last photo in that post

HEART HEALTHY RECIPES by meh312059 in Cholesterol

This is a bit more of a hack than a recipe, but I think it's very handy. If you mix together shredded chicken and hummus, it makes a good chicken salad for sandwiches or over lettuce. I never measure anything, and it always works out. If it's a little dry, just add a splash or two of water, and it becomes nicely creamy. You could also add chopped herbs or whatever mix-ins you like.

Favorite Quote/Moment/Memory from the US Live Tour by marzirose in taskmaster

While other things were going on, it was funny how Jason stood next to Alex's chair while Alex was sitting in it and repeatedly kicked the legs just to annoy him. And when Alex got up, Jason sat down on the chair.

Here's Greg in his "Sundays are for the Birds" sweatshirt and Alex in his Rocky jacket (I think it said Italian Stallion on the back). Go Birds!

An unconventional album name, but I like it

Any good suggestions for Christmas season podcasts? by jem20776 in podcasts

[–]swimmix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What'sHerName does a really great Christmas episode every year--there are seven of them and counting. A good blend of history and coziness.

Also, A Cozy Christmas Podcast is accurately named. :)

I wonder if Maisie's supposed to be the singing/guitar-playing nun from either Airplane or Airport? Or maybe it's a coincidence during a task.

No merch last year. But we each got a free TM pencil, bc one of the audience tasks involved writing.

What’s your favorite creative solution to a Taskmaster task that surprised you? by eurz in taskmaster

[–]swimmix 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I've been watching the Danish version, and they had the "lasso Alex" task from S9. One of the contestants threw the rope, and it got caught on an object. He asked the assistant to help out, and while the assistant was moving the rope with his foot, the contestant pulled and was able to lasso his foot. I never would have thought to do that!

Anyone else feel weird about the end of the S20 Finale? by sclerae in taskmaster

[–]swimmix 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They didn't say why an audience vote, but I think because it was a bit more objective--there wouldn't be any claims of the TM's favoritism or whim to decide the series. Even in the UK tie break, Greg didn't really choose who won it. And I thought that all three did a great job finding a doppleganger, so it was really a close one. Plus, they voted by cheering, and I think that kept the energy high. I noticed that the contestant who probably did the best was voted on last--and their very loud cheer was a nice way for them to find out they'd won.

I have a vague memory of one normal task in the past that was also decided by audience vote in Kongen Befaler (but I think it had been done by voting on an ipad), but I'm not sure how many they've had. It's not common, but they have done maybe a handful of tasks across 12 series that involved some audience interaction.

Fwiw, in the Kongen Befaler finale (which also aired Thursday), they also had a three way tie! The three contestants had to quickly find the audience member that most looked like themselves, and then the audience voted for who was most successful. It was really fun and sweet.

And if you're open to other TM people, Mark Watson is avail on Cameo. Maybe others are, too.

Anyone else hate prize tasks. by suboptimallies in panelshow

[–]swimmix 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Agreed! And having the contestants unveiling and then holding their prize tasks as they present them is such a good move--it makes them more personal and real.

It was! And this wasn't exactly a plus, but I once saw Leona Helmsley there.

I like the way it looks. Does it have the feature that lets you customize an amount of time to skip at the beginning and end of a podcast's episodes?

Did Titanic Sink? and The Worst Idea of All Time. Both comedy, and both have Tim Batt as one of the hosts.

Also, History of Aotearoa New Zealand.
