You threw me off so bad with the first sentence, because the second half was cut off until I expanded the comment. I was thinking "Jessica is dead? That's horrible." It does clear up why I couldn't figure out why they kept calling it a knappett. Thank you.
I'd love to know if the bell task was before or after the sabotaged task. If it was before it it explains why they didn't suspect sabotage. If it was after Dara being so frustrated explains him messing up the instruction.
Like all jokes aside, iirc she actually had to calm down Dara for quite a bit after that sabotaged task happened because he was so fumingly angry, so yeah, after this task afterwards, I think Dara would've legit attacked John
John's ridiculous "Dad's hand" thing was so funny, that it made me forget that Fern's insane alien Scottish man costume was at the beginning of the episode. This episode was just packed with so good stuff.
@@decimanightelf4135 And Greg totally gave Munya the perfect setup too! It just shows you how incredibly talented they are at comedy. The "dad's hand" thing is so absurd and so funny by itself, but Dara and Munya's improvised chain of comebacks is the genius of it. Pay attention to the prize task in Episode 10. There's a joke chain where all 5 contestants get in on it.
Munya and Sarah are one of my favourite teams ever on taskmaster. every team task with them is such a delight to watch, especially when Munya says something and Sarah cannot stop laughing
I love that they backed John's hand task attempt with one of Mozart's sonatas to go with his story of the pianist. But then, as soon as he starts going on about looking for his dad's hands they let it completely fade out to silence so you can hear how weird his strategy was. 😆The post production team always has such an eye for detail and a great sense of humor, they really do wonders for Taskmaster!
So many great Fern lines: - Feels mingin' - I can feel the heat of its body - Who invented right and left and what is it for? - I wasn't meant to be gathering cones in the forest - the title of course, "the one that bats do"
So, and I realize this comment is two months old, I dug around and it comes from the meaning of fancy as "fanciful". "Fancy" is just a shortened "fantasy". It came to mean done-up, ostentatious, and expensive in the 1700s and generally associated with ornament. Fancy pigeons, fancy goldfish, that kind of thing. America seems to have latched onto that definition almost exclusively (we retain some phrases like "fancy that") but the word is more flexible in the commonwealth. Like "pudding".
I love those small interactions between John and Munya. They aren't openly besties like Mark and Nish, but if you pay attention, they subtly show how much they like each other constantly!
I'm literally crying with laughter five minutes in, just from the face Dara makes when Fern explains why the alien got shot. I had to stop the video just to catch my breath.
@@Руслан-ь3ц2фabsolutely. It was one of the final tasks and they had to walk across it in a certain amount of time with extra points for the most creative walk. She… overdid it. 😂
@@benzaiten933 I just commented above that my son works in theatre here in the US and I've been trying to get him to use "Knappett" and see if it catches hold.
i wish I could have Fern following me around and reacting to everything that happens to me. That way, whenever something bad happens, no matter how bad, just hearing her go "Oh noo!" would make me feel better.
I really wish for proper subtitles for that part. I like Fern, how her brain works, her voice, her accent. But sometimes these altogether make me impossible to understand what's she sayin'. p.s. I found it in the comments. "I wasn't meant to be gathering cones in the forest"
I totally agree, John and Munya always turn to each other to laugh in studio. It's kind of heartbreaking they paired him up with Dara, a bad match to begin with... Then give him the only sabotage task in show history. I wonder if that was the first team task they filmed?
@@talkinpractice298It wasn't the first one. I'm pretty sure the first team task that they show is always the first one the contestants do, since that's when they're all greeting each other
Sara's foresight in planning to have her hand photographed in a position unlike what most people would choose was so clever! Thinking outside the box paid off! Bravo Sara!🤔🤨
Fern is a weirdo (affectionate) but totally aware of it, she has her own way of thinking about things and sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't, everyone can respect that. John always seems 1000% convinced whatever he is saying/doing is correct and normal and totally obvious - while it makes absolutely no sense to anybody else.
I absolute love it whenever past contestants' artifacts pop up randomly throughout the show, like Bob Mortimer's sausage display device at 7:07, or John's sailor hat in series 15
Man every season I think "I could just watch these five people, do they have to change" and then next season the new five people are just as good or better. I love all of them. Fern is priceless though, I really want her on every show.
At 6:56 Alex introduces the secret language task by saying it involves "dash-dot-dash-dot dash-dash-dash dash-dot-dot dot" which translates to "CODE" in Morse code. I'm googling all this to procrastinate on my life.
Thanks so much for googling the answer. I, too, do plenty of procrastinating in my life, but just didn’t want to take the time to discover the answer myself!
@@TPH250290 It must happen mainly in the US then. "Dress up" can mean to wear fancy clothes (smart clothes) or to wear a costume. Same confusion with a different phrase, I guess!
I just realized Dara's comment was INCREDIBLE foreshadowing in the hands task. Presumably unintentionally, but if this were a movie a screenwriter would have given him that line to be clever. He walked into that room and said "This is sinister." And the origin of the word "sinister" is "left side." And each contestant's hand was the ONLY 'left' hand on the board. The other 3,000 hands were right hands. They could have deduced it that way, if they remembered.
I believe Fern caught on the left hand trick in her attempt. In the two hands she guessed incorrectly, they were both left hands so it stands to reason that she was only guessing left hands. Also if I had to guess, there were probably 300 left hands in the garage since about 10% of the population is left handed
I really look forward to the inevitabel moment they make all the international taskmasters compete with eachother in a series. I would love to see greg as a contestant
but we cannot ignore how bewildered he was when Fern tried to explain her role in a children's film (first around 3:24, then again at 3:45). this episode feels like one continuous sanity check at Dara's behest
I loved it too! Munya impaling that tiger with a toilet brush and then jumping up & down, then completely dominating that laser trick while covering his camel toe. Such joy.
I think this energy is needed for this show tbh. The rivalries and riffing is of course hilarious but it's nice to have at least one contestant who's nice to people (especially because everyone else is so mean to John. Hilarious as it is, it's nice that he also seems to have a genuine thing going with Munya)
i was wondering why none of them thought to look at the tape measurer so it was vv satisfying to hear alex say “all of the information was on the tape measurer” 😭 40:27
The way Fern often reacts right before it cuts away when Alex announces the challenge and she remembers it - dude... This woman is so f adorable man. It's too much. "A tape measure is meant to measure EVERYTHING in the house" bro...
Through this series sometimes he was just waaaay too loser, made me thinking he's been asked to be the miserable one. Like the one with the tail. He's right there, standing on it. Or when he's covering the photo of his hand while he's looking for that photo.
Idk why but I expected there to be a reveal that the tiger wasn't actually the "alluring animal". I think I got suspicious when Alex asked "is it alluring?" after at least one person pointed out the tiger. I wonder if there were other options that no one found.
Dara too.... they couldn't believe that vacuum cleaner's cord was so short. It blew their mind. Which surprised me extensively, because that vacuum, called "a Henry", is a very well know for its stupidly short cord. It is a very iconic UK-made vacuum cleaner (in fact the only one still made in the UK to this day). Out of anyone, the contestants, as UK residents, should have recognized it I would think... but I guess I was wrong and Alex struck again!.
Confined to barracks by a tropical storm. That meant I got to watch much earlier than usual, before lunch even. My afternoon nap was spent with a big smile on my face. Thanks TM
I've gone from not knowing who Fern Brady is in episode 1, to thinking she is legendary enough that in some sort of "save the greatest people" scenario, she should be the first one saved.
Munya is not super entertaining in the comedic sense most of the time, but he regularly just really really nails a super smart way to solve the tasks, which is super entertaining in its own right. Once more the complete cast has grown on me. Ok fuck me. Joke at 27:10 ish was 🔥
If you think of it, the casting in each series is very similar. There's always a brainy, competitive one (usually pointed down by Greg, and the more they object, the more he pushes them), an adorable loser, a genuine outsider, etc. The competitive ones (Ed Gamble, Kiell Smith-Bynoe) are always less entertaining. Expect maybe Chris Ramsey. No way he forgot to entertain us while working on efficient problem solutions. (e.g. the heel click after the May Pole task)
I just realized there is a huge difference in the UK definition of fancy dress and the US definition of fancy dress. I was so very confused by Fern 😂😂😂
The magic of the panel shows. Everyone find their fave ones in the casts, and fave casts comparing the series. I loved this group so much. But re-re-and-re-watching the old series, my brain always compensates, and goes like "if the early series could've got 10 episodes too, cast of s2 could be outstanding". So in the end I stop comparing them. :)
I feel like in his confidence he totally forgot that it needs to be secured to something and it got shifted slightly, but then instead of looking around the end he tunnel visioned into thinking the tail was nowhere near and got himself completely lost
Dara seems really good at coming up with plans that other people have difficulty following. While John seems to be really good at coming up with plans that even he has difficulty following.
i thought he might have been trying to sabotage again
They should have used the bells like a t9 text: f ring once, e ring 5 times etc.

Jon took the sabotage to heart for the whole dang season.
I was waiting for his sabotage instructions to be revealed, but no, that was legitimately his best attempts.
the sabotage points were just throwing some free points his way, he would've done it anyway
The tasks aren't shown in order of filming.

So much so, he ends up sabotaging himself most of the time. 😂
Except Dara was the reason they lost this team task so how did John sabotage them this time?
I love that the stage is called a Knapett in memory of Jessica Knapett. She's not dead, she just fell off of it for no reason.
It was also one of the moments you see both Alex and Greg break character and just be like are you alright?
It wasn't for no reason, she was doing a silly walk as part of the task. She was just concentrating so hard on the walk she forgot where the edge was.
Made even funnier by Kerry Godliman’s preceding worry that, because the sitting contestants were blindfolded, what happens if they fall off the stage, and Jessica telling Kerry “I don’t think that’s going to happen.”

You threw me off so bad with the first sentence, because the second half was cut off until I expanded the comment. I was thinking "Jessica is dead? That's horrible." It does clear up why I couldn't figure out why they kept calling it a knappett. Thank you.
Sometimes I feel like John still thinks he needs to sabatoge. But I also see now why the sabatoge wasn't so obvious.
Or. He thinks it will make good television to do so. Ed Gamble tried to complete tasks or make good failures.

And the contrast do Dara getting increasingly frustrated is so beautiful.

It is a very iconic UK-made vacuum cleaner (in fact the only one still made in the UK to this day). Out of anyone, the contestants, as UK residents, should have recognized it I would think... but I guess I was wrong and Alex struck again!.
@@CookieTube I assume it was hyperbolized and it's not THAT short (on an unmodified vacuum cleaner), right?
You should definitely watch the outtakes for this episode. The team of 3 is furious
@@CookieTube It's more of a corrugated dust sucking hose
John has to be my favorite contestant ever. His wit is so quick and it doesn't match his tasks at all. 😂
Indeed. I never thought he was funny at all with the wig and the teeth - but without them he is comedy gold.
Confined to barracks by a tropical storm. That meant I got to watch much earlier than usual, before lunch even. My afternoon nap was spent with a big smile on my face. Thanks TM
Now I can’t leave my bed
😂😂
Dara just about came up with the old T9 texting system, but with bells
It was a good system, too. I’m not sure where John’s problem was. 😅
Imagine you send your hand in to Taskmaster and someone says "That looks like a demons' hand"
43:28 John paralysed with vacuum shock 😢
Fern's "WHAAAAA" in the intro always gets me
John’s complete helplessness is frankly amazing.
This series is truly great, I'll miss these guys
I love how much fern laughs at john's jokes and rambles lol
3:06 Fern giving McPoyle realness
This made my day so much better. Thank you for uploading ❤
I've gone from not knowing who Fern Brady is in episode 1, to thinking she is legendary enough that in some sort of "save the greatest people" scenario, she should be the first one saved.
😂 Dara's face when Fern's costume was shown!!!! And Greg's reaction! 💕
John and the alluring tail genuinely makes me cry with laughter lol.
I love Fern and Munya's color coordinated outfits in the studio from episodes 2, 5, 6, 7 and 8.
7:07 It's Bob Mortimer's pork sausage/broccoli presentation unit!
Love the callback of calling it the Knappett.
Fern, you have very skinny, hydrated, and beautiful hands that all your fans love. Well done finding it.
31:01 for a broken man
Munya is not super entertaining in the comedic sense most of the time, but he regularly just really really nails a super smart way to solve the tasks, which is super entertaining in its own right.
Once more the complete cast has grown on me.
Ok fuck me. Joke at 27:10 ish was 🔥
If you think of it, the casting in each series is very similar. There's always a brainy, competitive one (usually pointed down by Greg, and the more they object, the more he pushes them), an adorable loser, a genuine outsider, etc. The competitive ones (Ed Gamble, Kiell Smith-Bynoe) are always less entertaining. Expect maybe Chris Ramsey. No way he forgot to entertain us while working on efficient problem solutions. (e.g. the heel click after the May Pole task)
I just realized there is a huge difference in the UK definition of fancy dress and the US definition of fancy dress. I was so very confused by Fern 😂😂😂
God I love this cast so much pretty sure they are my favourite and I didn't think s11 and 12 could be topped...
The magic of the panel shows. Everyone find their fave ones in the casts, and fave casts comparing the series. I loved this group so much. But re-re-and-re-watching the old series, my brain always compensates, and goes like "if the early series could've got 10 episodes too, cast of s2 could be outstanding". So in the end I stop comparing them. :)
25:15 Poor John. Weirdly, his string did actually move for some reason
I think he himself stumbled upon it and moved it.
it was too tense I think!
I feel like in his confidence he totally forgot that it needs to be secured to something and it got shifted slightly, but then instead of looking around the end he tunnel visioned into thinking the tail was nowhere near and got himself completely lost
The dancing Spanish horses quip could have come straight out of Carl pilkingtons diary. 😂
