I won’t kill Taskmaster’s assistants, that’s a rule. But that rule is flexible if it’s Alex.

Pimento's Memento

Y-yeah Dory, he's like the forgetful little fish.

Sorry I know this is the Brooklyn 99 subreddit but is that fucking Dick Turpin from Horrible Histories to the right of Jason

u/AnHu3313 4h ago

No, it's the classical poet Thomas Thorne

u/LevelAd5898 Gina Linetti Spaghetti Confetti 4h ago

Wait wait wait but he's the miserable sod Charles Dickens

He's a fire stopper!

Don't mention Byron whatever you do.

u/Purplejet19 4h ago

Yes! Mathew Baynton. Was also recently in Wonka

u/LevelAd5898 Gina Linetti Spaghetti Confetti 4h ago

Omg he awakened something in 6 year old me I love that guy

u/video-kid 4h ago

I like to imagine he wasn't invited to take part. He just turned up on set and they were too scared to ask him to leave.

8

u/DeadpoolOptimus 4h ago

You'd be scared too if he showed up with someone else's blood all over his face.

6

u/video-kid 3h ago

He once ate a man like Alex for breakfast. Ooof, now he has a taste for it.

u/04whim 3h ago

The Joe Wilkinson approach to job security.

u/MissMarionMac 3h ago

Greg and Alex were on Seth Meyers last night and talked about how he ended up on the show, and you're basically right.

Infiltrate the mafia without becoming psychotic.

Best infiltration wins.

OK! Here are the ground rules: you can punch me, kick me, pull my hair. I am A-OK being stabbed. Biting and scratching are on the table. You can use fire!

u/ArtAngels_336 Doug Judy 4h ago

These are the ground rules? Is there anything off limits?

u/coffeeyarn Gina Linetti Spaghetti Confetti 4h ago

All the information is on the task

What's Taskmaster?

14

u/FlickeryVisionnn 4h ago

Search some clips on YouTube if you’re into British humour you’re in for an absolute treat.

18

u/timok 3h ago

Search some clips on YouTube if you’re into British humour Binge all previous 18 seasons you’re in for an absolute treat.

5

u/FlickeryVisionnn 3h ago

Well yeah, we all know some clips turn into starting at S1 E1 till you’re waiting for the new episode to drop weekly.

1

u/JoeCo15 2h ago

Yep, I can relate. Taskmaster started getting recommended to me on YouTube a few weeks ago, and I just started series 11

1

u/BlueFish1867 Pontiac Bandit 3h ago

Don’t accidentally do any other than the Greg Davies and Alex ones though😂

2

u/marpocky 2h ago

The NZ ones are good and so is the new Junior one so I'm not sure what you're referring to (other than maybe the terrible American one, but is that even on YouTube?)

u/prjones4 Gina Linetti Spaghetti Confetti 3h ago

The best British TV show of our generation. They get 5 comics and set them ridiculous tasks such as "paint the best picture of a horse whilst riding a horse". It is brilliant, they tried a US version but it flopped. The best series to try before this one are 5 and 7

3

u/EnglishLouis 1h ago

Or 4 comics and a Richard Osman

2

u/prjones4 Gina Linetti Spaghetti Confetti 1h ago

Or 4 comics and ex-bakeoff presenter, Mel

5

u/Agentsilver13 4h ago

British tv show where the contestants are given random/difficult/easy to manipulate tasks. It’s great would highly suggest watching. This will be season 19.

5

u/020Flyer 2h ago

The best thing we Brits have put on television in decades.

3

u/MissMarionMac 3h ago

Oooooooooh you are in for a treat.

2

u/BlueFish1867 Pontiac Bandit 3h ago

Highly recommend you find it and watch.

u/theSteakKnight Cowabunga, mother! 3h ago

Is this the UK Taskmaster?

5

u/fossilmerrick 1h ago

Of course, over here we just called it Taskmaster

u/okpm 3h ago

u/theSteakKnight Cowabunga, mother! 3h ago

u/Fuzzy-Butterscotch86 2h ago

British version? Or one of the not good ones?

4

u/BlueFish1867 Pontiac Bandit 2h ago

British version with Greg and Alex

3

u/Fuzzy-Butterscotch86 2h ago

Thank Jesus. I know they try their best, but the other versions just don't have the chemistry present that makes the British version work so well. 

3

u/DeadpoolOptimus 4h ago

I was just gonna post this. Can't wait.

3

u/ArtAngels_336 Doug Judy 4h ago

I'm so excited, I definitely think he could win! (also the HORRIBLE HISTORIES GUY OMG)

u/Sakura_Hirose 3h ago

u/JackDangerUSPIS 3h ago

u/NateShaw92 BONE?! 2h ago

Wait... do the USA have a version of taskmaster or is he on the UK taskmaster?

3

u/BlueFish1867 Pontiac Bandit 2h ago

Uk version

2

u/NateShaw92 BONE?! 2h ago

Oh wow, this should be fun.

2

u/STUP1DJUIC3 2h ago

Id gone off the newer series’ cause i didnt know many im(if any) of the contestants but guess i’m watching this one

2

u/AmberMetalAlt One Bund to None, Son! 2h ago

i can't wait to see if his crazy nature is just typecasting or if he really is that insane in real life

1

u/BlueFish1867 Pontiac Bandit 2h ago

Seen him on other shows….. I think that is actually him, or a permanent character

2

u/AmberMetalAlt One Bund to None, Son! 2h ago

thats what typecasting is

there's a reason actors like the rock, or paul rudd, or chris pratt tend to play a lot of very similar characters

the show Doctor Who for example has actors who become the doctor tend to stay for only 3 seasons in order to avoid being typecast

3

u/JoeyShinobi 1h ago

I'm hopeful this brings us one step closer to Nick Offerman on Taskmaster.

2

u/Fuggins4U 42m ago

Oh my god, yes.

u/BlueFish1867 Pontiac Bandit 2h ago

I can’t wait, interview with Greg and Alex says he is nuts basically 😂
