On Taskmaster Series 16

Series 16 of Taskmaster has been rambling on and is close to conclusion, but I’ve found myself not really enjoying it as much as previous series. There’s something about it that I just can’t place. Is it the cast? Is it the location? The theme? I don’t really know. I think it’s the tasks. The tasks are more tedious than normal. A lot of them are “do X thing but also follow Y rules”. There’s also a couple of kinda repeat tasks. One is to make a gift for Greg, and the cast (except for Sam Campbell for some reason)… [Continue Reading]

UK Panel Shows You Should Try

I absolutely adore UK panel shows. Namely comedy ones. I’ll happily binge my way through comedy shows, and plenty of them are available on Youtube in one way or another. Here are my favourites. Taskmaster Taskmaster is definitely at the top of this list. It’s not quite the same as the following panel shows, but it’s still hilarious. No matter the series, you are greeted with a happy cast and all sorts of weird tasks. At first, you might not know the cast very well, but by the end of it, you’re cheering all of them and enjoying how they… [Continue Reading]

Taskmaster but International

Taskmaster is one of my favourite TV shows of all time. I absolutely adore it, and regularly spend lunch breaks and evenings watching Taskmaster. I’ve watched up to series 14 and am waiting patiently for season 15, which will have Frankie Boyle (a terrifyingly amazing comedian) on it. But did you know that Taskmaster has been done in other countries too? I’ll start with the ones in languages I don’t understand. Bast I Test is the Swedish version of Task Master, and it does have a good spin on the normal Taskmaster layout. The Taskmaster herself is a woman called… [Continue Reading]

Swedish Taskmaster

I’ve written about Taskmaster before. It’s a UK TV show in which comedians complete tasks in order to please Greg Davis, the Taskmaster himself. Tasks range from all sorts of stuff, from knocking down plastic ducks to composing songs for strangers, all the way to pushing trolleys across an airport and having to eat as much watermelon as possible in a minute. Basically, it’s a crazy show and I love it. Even if I haven’t been able to watch the latest seasons. But what surprises me more is that there are other versions of Taskmaster. Three of which are set… [Continue Reading]

I Absolutely Adored the 12th Series of Taskmaster

November 27, 2021November 27, 2021 Medic 0 Comments comedy, taskmaster, UK

Taskmaster is currently my favourite show right now. It’s a UK comedy show that I’ve talked about before, explaining why I love it. There have been eleven prior series, with series 12 just finishing a few days ago (as of publishing). However, for series 12, I swear it flew by way too quickly. Why? Because I absolutely loved the entire cast. As far as I’m concerned, this was one of the best series by far. I enjoyed every second of series 12. But why? The cast was amazing. I’ve never seen a happier cast. Normally, there’s some sort of mini-conflict… [Continue Reading]
