I didn’t realise he has autism spectrum disorder, which does explain some of the awkwardness, literal approach to things, and discomfort when he’s directly questioned. Seems like a lovely, genuine bloke.
Joe Thomas is unique in that he is an absolute genius who just nails any task that comes his way or he is more confused than a baby when presented with a toilet for the first time
I love when the camera cuts back to Joe from the recorded task, and the look on his face is just that of somebody reliving the most horrific and scary thing they've ever seen in their life.
Joe quoting Keats's 'Ode on Melancholy' off the top of his head to justify the grape thing (he's right, it is "burst Joy's grape against his palate fine") is pretty awesome ngl. you definitely burst a grape.
Joe Thomas was one of my favourite Taskmaster contestants of all time, everything he did I found very amusing, nothing beats his bicycle my excellent bicycle. Also he was one of the only people who got a near excellent score in an episode if I remember correctly.
Having never seen anything with Joe in prior to this series I would argue he is top 2 of people who I fell in love with through Taskmaster. Only pipped by a Wozniak I’m afraid Joe ;)
Are you kidding? If I am right and he is autistic like me, this guy is nailing it. This is Olympic medal worthy. Remember, you neurotypical people are the most confusing, frustrating people who ever existed. You make a conversation a friggin obstacle race. Just say what you mean ffs. Seriously, man, he is a superhero
every time joe gets asked a question it's like he's just been possessed by a very confused ghost who feels the need to make excuses for him
This perfectly sums up his appearance on WILTY when he had to justify why he moved the car whilst cooking
Sums him up very well 🥰
The simplest, most direct of questions have this effect on him-I had no idea he was this odd and awkward before seeing him on taskmaster 😂
That ghost is his soul

Missing the iconic line: ("What does BMX stand for, Joe?") "It stands for bicycle, my excellent bicycle."
One of my top favorites, can't believe they didn't have it in here
Bicycle, My Xcellent (Bicycle.)
That haunting poem…
Oh my god Joe obediently ducking beneath the start sign not just once, but MULTIPLE TIMES was so hilariously unnecessary.
the way joe thomas behaves on this show is the sexiest any man has ever been in my eyes
Same, and I'm a straight dude
Yes!!
Yes. Awkward men are the hottest
the whole deer in the headlights close to a breakdown look do it for you?
@@EpicRenegade777 hahaha
The utter defeat in his voice with the single word "Grape"
18:06 when Joe starts ranting you can actually see Greg’s respect for Joe growing
Quite the opposite in The Inbetweeners lol
Greg STARTS the standing ovation. He looks at everyone else like he's commanding STAND NOW AND CLAP
Yeah, he was completely behind him on what he said.
@@matthewlloyd3654Him and Lou Sanders, respect to both 👊
"Alex's murder is evidence for the existence of God" will forever be the funniest line of Taskmaster to me.
That train station task is one of my favourite moments of all time. Joe did it brilliantly
Joe Thomas was, and remains, Taskmaster's Neville Longbottom. You feel for him when he struggles and and you cheer for him when he finally gets a win.
Also he's hot
Agreed

Joe's probably the only person to get a standing ovation from the two people he was arguing shouldn't get points

25 minutes of Joe Thomas is the biggest blessings I’ve received 🙏
that sad innit
This is a 25-minute video and it could’ve been longer. Everything joe did during this series had me in pieces.
His sashay moment was iconic
Joe always looks like he’s mid-breakdown and Alex just dragged him onstage as his life is falling to pieces.
Every time I think I’m too socially awkward I remember Joe Thomas on Taskmaster
I think of Joe and Sian meeting to make me feel better about how I introduce myself to others
The moment I think of the most is him crushing that life task that involved maths - that was so cool in a nerdy little way
Yess, I always think of that the most. It was impressive aha
and the German elf for eleven! clever boy indeed
pauls "im thinking half an hour" gets me CONSISTENTLY
If anyone wants more of Joe Thomas, I highly recommend his episode of Off Menu
Yes, and the special where they tracked down Willie 🍫
That was such a wild episode of Off Menu.
Thank you! I was going to say that - I've listened 3 times and I still giggle 🎉
I listen to that episode any time I’m in need of a laugh. Joe just seems to be a genuinely bizarre person and I love it
oh my god i laughed so much listening to that episode
Alex's murder is evidence for the existence of God is the most brutal thing I've ever heard
Joe was brilliant in the hide and seek task. I remember watching when it first aired and really feeling thrilled for him.
he was really channelling his inner toxic gossip train with the apology video
Why would you remind us of that car crash?
LMFAOO
13:40 is THE most adorable scene on TV I've ever seen. I have a need to hug Joe there
Best parts of Joe on TM is any time he has an interaction with another human
my favourite thing about watching joe on taskmaster is how relatable i find his anxiety fueled rambling
Joe doing the trainyard hide and seek in the snow is like something from Stalingrad
Joe Thomas still has to be one of my favourite contestants that's ever been on taskmaster
Joe and Sian are one of my favourite teams on the show.
Joe Thomas was one of my favourite Taskmaster contestants of all time, everything he did I found very amusing, nothing beats his bicycle my excellent bicycle. Also he was one of the only people who got a near excellent score in an episode if I remember correctly.
The bit where hes making that face at Sian always gets me. I laughed so hard the first time that it might be the most I've ever cried in my life
7:35 Alex trying to call out Greg for abandoning the 5 point system😄
He is an absolute treasure. Very analytical mindset, ludicrously awkward. Adorable all the way.
Thanks for mmm getting this together.
This whole time I thought he was acting in the inbetweeners. Nope turns out he is his character. And I love it.
Joe Thomas is the personification of the words "marriage material."
We appreciate you, TM Digital Team 💕
Like Iain I found Joe's athleticism in the trainyard task highly sexy
Joe Thomas and James Acaster are my Taskmaster 'Prince Charming's.
There. I said it.
same.
SAME
I'll still, to this day, never forget the fact that Greg has seen Joe Thomas' testicles in The Inbetweeners.
As have we all.
the only reason they didn’t do this earlier is because they tried to find a way to make this without it just being every Joe Thomas performance.
Having never seen anything with Joe in prior to this series I would argue he is top 2 of people who I fell in love with through Taskmaster. Only pipped by a Wozniak I’m afraid Joe ;)
Unfortunately, Wozniak would just undermine your vole, because you wrote 'who' instead of 'whom'. It's always 'grammar time'.
@@daniellamcgee4251Tick tock, it's grammar o'clock.
Joe Thomas is the most awkward human being ever and yet somehow the most endearing
Are you kidding? If I am right and he is autistic like me, this guy is nailing it. This is Olympic medal worthy. Remember, you neurotypical people are the most confusing, frustrating people who ever existed. You make a conversation a friggin obstacle race. Just say what you mean ffs.

Giving the people what they want 😤
I'll watch this after I've had a ride on my excellent bicycle.
the train yard task was thoroughly enjoyable! 🚊 🚂
no freaking way FINALLY! it's been a 1000 years
i have been waiting for this video for YEARS. thank you for posting our fave himbo
He’s so adorable. Also the way he compliments his awkwardness is beautiful.
They couldve put in every prize task. One of the most iconic of all the series!
I have Asperger and I find Joe's behaviour sooo relatable, I was emotionally invested in him winning and doing well, my favourite contestant
Wow just realized Joe is 39!
This dude doesn't age!
2:27 Joe walked so Bridget could run
So Bridget could walk in a very special way
i think i’m in love
Thank you admin🙏
FINALLY a Joe Thomas video
Gotta love Joe - he might be my favourite contestant ever
22:40 That's my favourite thing that any human body has ever done.
You think you remember just how awkward his and Sian's first meeting was, and then you watch it. 😬
21:14 Sian's tiny piercing giggle!
She just burst Joe's grape.
This is all I've ever wanted.
Highly recommend the supercut of just Joe's moments ❤
That Alex trying to find them task was so cool
This season was the first one I watched, and Joe was one of my favorites. :)
the delivery of grape gets me every time
"Hope so, because they are valuable."
@19:53 for the song about Alex Horne's murder being evidence of the existence of god
favorite contestant without a doubt
oh god I love joe!!!😂💖
I've only just finished season 8, but i just had to rewatch his tasks again. as of now, he's easily my favorite contestant.
"If you can't bust a cherry or crush a grape and if you ain't got the strength you're in bad shape"
-Run DMC
Joe and Sharn was such a great combo!
It's especially funny contrasting their interactions with the group of 3, who are constantly arguing while poor Paul is uncomfortably standing around.
Love him. The confused expressions are hilarious.
ive never said "what?" out loud at a video, but when she continued the song with "it's too big". just what lol
I would 100% love to do the hide&seek train yard task irl.
It looks so fun!
Joe has been the best contestant ever (except almost everyone in season 4)
“That person should be let off and knighted….” Hahaha
No 'eleven' or insanely good maths in his head? Blasphemy!
I actually can't believe that he's 40, he still looks like he's in his mid-20s.
Imagine Joe Thomas as your blind date. His first impression would be 23:07. That would be the most awkward experience 😂😂
I need a @taskmaster season with Joe, Fern, James, Judi and Iain
overthinkers vs underthinkers then
his behaviour and overall demeanour is honestly incredibly attractive
🥰 love him - but where’s “BMX” prize task 😂
I love how quintessentially British that apology felt
Love the Keats!!!!
Sorry, sorry, I hate to bring it up-I hate to bring it up, but literally,
Bicycle My Xcellentbicycle
_Finally_ !! 🎉🎉
Actually so happy that I figured out it was a compass before Joe
makes me want to rewatch series 8
Hello. Soap.
MM get together MM MM
but it's too big
I'm with joe on the earaser task. it states erease the earaser not "make it dissapear. it doesn't matter if you see it, since it has been ereased
They should get all the betweeners actors to do a series or even an episode or two
2:46 were those the remnants of Al Murray's tormented "snow"man?
This could have been 30 seconds however it could also have been 3 hours, nice compromise. Joe is surely one of the worlds most unusual humans
i love him he is so relatable as an autistic
frr
Flipping adorable
Joe looks like someone who's really tired all the time. I have no idea why
anyone else notice the TM seal on the skull? 18:59 😅
