Its unfortunate. Julian Clairy was so famous in the 90s and 00s. Hes done bits and bats, but he's a really funny guy. Used to wear a ton of make up lol
@@leftysheppey I knew Julian from panel shows (same with lucy), and Sue from Bake Off. I hadn't ever seen Sam or Susan before. I'm absolutely invested.
@leftysheppey I remember Julian on Just a Minute. Asked to speak on the subject of Brighton Rock, he opened with "There's a lot to be said for having a long hard pink thing in your mouth."
@@leftysheppeyunlike other comedians who cry about cancel culture while enjoying Netflix specials and earning millions in tours, he actually was a victim of cancel culture from the right wing media about 20 years ago and his career hasn't really recovered.
@@cheighes1I've always liked him-Sue and Lucy I've always (well not literally always, obviously) been aware of. I recognise Susan and Sam was by far the worst part of Ben Elton's recent Channel 4 Friday Night Live show. But otherwise I quite like him.
The way I have watched this on loop. I was so looking forward to seeing Julian on Taskmaster and I don’t know what I was expecting or hoping but he has exceeded all of it in the first episode ❤
I didn't notice what the table was meant to look like before, for some reason so when I did figure it out, I exclaimed "it's bums!" to the dismay of the grammar police
You've got like what 100 abilities in the game? And these 100 abilities don't exist in a vacuum. 10 players each often times simultaneously using one or multiple of the 100 abilities. It's really not an easy task trying to make something "new enough" to entice play and useful enough to retain pick rate while not negatively affecting one or more of the existing abilities.
Julian has always freaked me out. Since i was a child. Every time I've ever seen him, my skin has crawled. I don't know what it is. But seriously creepy vibes.
@@ljloraat1453 femmephobia perhaps. There's an inbuilt alarm among gay men (who remember, were raised to be straight, and raised to be scared of being exposed) of gay people who "don't pass," of men who stand out for the wrong reasons. They're the wrong type of gay, and we can't bear the idea that the homophobia is directed at *all* of us so we're happy to join forces on a perceived enemy. Besides, we hear so much about "creepy old men" that it's got to be easy to spot them, right? It can't be normal people like me... Relatedly, hooo boy the bad vibes I got when I first watched Drag Race. It took me time to recognise it and get over it. I suspect many do not.
@@LaneyStudios5 what a strange way to word it. And thank you for the offer, but no thanks, I'll pass. I'm fairly certain I'm not homophobic, and that it's specifically Julian Clarey that makes my skin crawl, not gay men in general.
I can tell from the first episode that Julian is going to be hilarious, honestly it seems like such a good bunch already
also the instant dislike of alex is always so funny
‘Be still my beating heart’
I love them all. What always does it for me is when people take the show seriously and they all are.
Usually it takes me an episode or two to fall for the contestants but these guys had me by the first prize task
It seems to be a good first episode when recommending the show. By the first team task the essence is clear.
it wont beat series 14 but that's a high bar, this group is still very fun@@Schmidtelpunkt
Glad to see Julian getting Greg to break so early on
Julian is so charming/soothing. I could listen to him talk all day.
I require a refreshment after Julian's dry wit! 🍹❤😂
He’s like a Dry Martini..
"I havent moved on from bums" sent me after listening to julian for so so long 😂
I'm always leary of the new cast every season. There's usually a few contestants I've never heard of. After episode one I was sold.

Same, Julian. Same here.
I'm stoked to see more of everyone, BUTT especially Julian. The interview task was *chef's kiss*.
I see what you did there with the clever word play. Very "cheeky", I do say myself 😉
These are the bloopers … that are specks of gold for us poor viewers 😂
Julian is a god damn national treasure. I don’t see enough of him
Julian was on big brother uk and seems genuinely lovely , hard to fake being nice on big brother
Haven't watched it in at least a decade but I'm glad to know he's a nice guy, I've always liked Julian
Id be thrilled to get that table
This shouldn’t have been cut it’s hilarious lol….I love this cast
Julian looks great, he has aged so beautifully
Lucy is an absolute joy, there is so much sense in her madness❤
I love the behind the scenes 😂
Her accent is just gorgeous, "Oi haven't brought anythinn with a boom"
First time anyone has said that about an ull accent 😂
@@hairywelder5188 I love her accent too!
A lot of people in hull hate the accent , sounds so common on tv , even local news stories 😂
@@hairywelder5188nah, mate. Hull accents are sexy as all fuck. Always have been.
Accent is glorious. Used to live near Hull and I miss it.
This episode was some of the straight up best across the whole media franchise
Is that a new camouflage pattern? Oh wait, it’s _Paisley_ 😂
“I’m set in my ways Greg.” 😂
Julian Clary is a national treasure.
So Julians already killing it I see😂😂
Not gonna lie, I want that bum table!
Julien has been making the same joke for decades and it still kills
Having watched that whole series, Julian pretty obviously found Lucy hilarious, i think she kept surprising him.
I wasn't looking at the screen, I thought Greg did an impression at first 😂
The way I have watched this on loop. I was so looking forward to seeing Julian on Taskmaster and I don’t know what I was expecting or hoping but he has exceeded all of it in the first episode ❤
This was the best season.
This was such a good episode, you had to leave gold on the cutting room floor.
I fell in love with Julian on WILTY! excited to see him here. Loving this seasons cast already! 🤩🤩🤩
‘I’m very set in my ways’. Masterful.
Julian is my favorite contestant ever
this series i swear made greg absolutely lose it so often.
He could play an aged sheldon in a big bang theory flash forward
No
I have a feeling I’m going to start this series for Lucy and stay for Julian
You know, I’m with Josh on this one, allergies are no joke…mate. Can’t speak for the rest of the character but he’s got that going for him LMAO
This is going to be such a good season (or series). Great cast.
Me too Julian. Me too.
Brilliant
i heard "i have a candle up my bum if youd like it...."
i thought: "WHAT AM I LISTENING TO!?!?!?!?"
Takes me back to the glorious era of ass-candling.
Back then, we had hope.
Please if anyone knows the episode let us know. Thanks 😀
It’s the first episode.
I didn't notice what the table was meant to look like before, for some reason so when I did figure it out, I exclaimed "it's bums!" to the dismay of the grammar police
Julian could be Sheldon from The Big Bang Theory's dad.
Why is he wearing camouflage?
Cheeky
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂❤❤
Is lucy acting or seriously mental

Does he only have one joke?
Theres been alot better seasons of Taskmaster

Homophobia?
@@ljloraat1453 well fuck, someone better tell my boyfriend. That's gonna be a weird conversation.
@@Alex-on-youtubeI'll speak to your friend who is a boy if you want, I don't mind awkward conversations

To me, Julian didnt seem like the kibd of person to do Taskmaster, but I was very wrong. The man clearly had a good time.
