"I have learned more about my self on this show than I would have liked." Iain has a better character arc this series than some characters do in actual scripted televesion shows.
Go to 16:14 and watch his reaction to Lou and Sian getting more points than him in the ball-bouncing task. I'm glad he finally got to realise what a dickhead he was being in other scenes, but this one was the moment when any respect I had for him dropped through the floor. 😂
@@akasakikawasaki1890 Right, people don't change that easily or quickly- but he's now aware of his impulses and is making a conscious effort to be better
@Unoriginal Username hah I think I saw your comment too unless it was someone with a similar idea. It was a show featuring them doing things like gardening right? I would watch that.
OH MY LORD THAT "ONE PERSON" TASK WAS ONE OF THE FUNNIEST I'VE EVER SEEN. The sight of Lou and Iain crawling on the ground with Paul laying motionless between them, while Joe's graceful religious walk and little smile at the end. Perfection.
I hope Paul Sinha is doing alright. Watching him writhe around after shoulder surgery, and everything else that's going on, was rough. What a trooper for going along with it with no complaints.
I was curious about his odd way of moving and the way his right hand seems quite immobile. I googled him and found out he was diagnosed with parkinsons not long after this series. I assumed it was something to do with that. Didn’t know he’d had shoulder surgery.
Holy shit, I was in absolute tears at the, "One Person" Task. Paul's gentle reply of, "Let Lou finish the banana." to Iain demanding Lou to direct him legit had me crying laughing
when you adjust for the Scots accent it's more of a "chitney", and in some places "chiutney" which is not a diphthong I have ever heard before that I can recall. Still hilariously wrong.

Iain isn't that bad imo, he seems to be playing a character and you can see he is genuinely a nice guy who sOmetimes lets competitiveness get the better of him, but he's been doing really well the past few episodes. Lou however i feel has a worse competitive streak in her
I positively screamed with laughter at Joe and Sian's "religious ceremony", not even mentioning the clusterfuck of Team Dysfunction. This season has been hilarious, and my favourite task of this season doesn't even air until next week!

@@Chroniknight I thought I read that he was diagnosed either right before he started filming or sort of in the middle, but he had already had some of the early symptoms before he even knew
As someone who’s also, as Paul said, ‘dysfunctionally competitive’, I really, really feel Iain watching himself be a dick to his team after the fact and seeming deeply embarrassed and ashamed by it :/
@@morganbodhi9492 I once joined a 'pass the gift'-game, in which you have to unpack a gift and roll the dice, until the time stops. I wanted the "My Little Pony" gift (that was Rainbow Dash) because the rest was either mý stuff or ashtrays and lighters (either offensive or shaped like weaponry/grenades.) And near the end, we had 2-3 minutes left and one woman got up from the circle and said she no longer wanted to play, because I was screaming bloody murder, and it was clear that I was the only one that cared for the outcome of the game. She was the person that brought the lighters and the ashtrays and felt insulted on how I avoided them and only focused on the pony. Now, I did not win the pony. But when I walked over to the one that had it, they immediately traded it with me, as to avoid any discussions. And I kept it for 8 years, as decoration in my cabinet, until I gifted it away to a younger girl, who's currently still playing with it. And when I was in France, on holiday, it was "three kings"-time, so the host of the 'party' purchased a cake. We all got a piece and the cake he'd purchased has a 'surprise' in it (not that kind of cake!) and nobody knew what it was. The host explained it was usually a small toy of some sorts. The winner would wear a paper crown. I took the crown and wanted to try it on, but he said; 'No, no, only when you win, you may wear it!' So, when he offered us another piece, I accepted, though it was a very tasteless, heavy cake. He joked that I could eat as much as I want. I asked if I found the item, if I could keep it. He said I could. This cake was quite big and we'd already had dinner. And I was wearing a dress that didn't give (quite tight) and I was tired and everyone wanted to go to their rooms and sleep. But I continued eating for ages. And if the cake had been a big, round clock, let's say I ate "50 minutes" of the cake-shape. A normal portion was "7 minutes." And in that nearly-last part, there was a tiny plastic cupcake. I went; 'YEEEAH!' and put on the golden papercrown that came with it. And the host just shook his head and took the last part of the cake and said he'd give to his mom the next day, who'd visit. I didn't really feel cool after that. Then again, if he hadn't said I was allowed to keep eating, I wouldn't have. It tasted awful. I gave the plastic cupcake away to the same girl, to 'feed' it to the plastic pony.
Yeah, watching his embarrassment at seeing how he's acted is like looking in a mirror. I straight up have to avoid all competitive activities with friends to prevent myself from acting that way, I completely empathize with how ashamed of himself he is.
The JoeSian task looked like a hunchbacked saint promenading throughout. I was expecting the camera to catch Sian's face peeking out like Paul at the bottom of a phone booth!
Hi, kind reminder to please not use the phrase “spirit animal” unless you are Native American. Using that phrase in that way is cultural appropriation. An alternative phrase to declare is that something is your patronus. /gen /nm
@@FilbieTron I hope you don't eat italian/mexican/thai/chinese/japanese/etc. food. I hope you don't drink tea/coffee/wine/etc. I hope you don't pray to any foreign go. That would be "cultural appropriation" according to you.
I'm incredibly impressed by Paul's ability to keep calm during the team tasks. If I were in his place, I don't know who would make me burst into tears first, Lou or Iain.
It's really heartbreaking to know that Paul Sinha is experiencing symptoms of what he would shortly after find out is Parkinson's disease, and a lot of the pain and difficulties he had with his fine motor skills is all related to it. I wish him the best and am glad he has such great people around him.
The graceful hunchback ceremony Joe and Sian created reminded me of Hitchhikers guide in a weird way. Very odd but matter of fact. This is just a Tuesday for the hunchback, he’s going to do this again next week.
37:50 “Get up my ass and wiggle”. Best line of the series. I love Greg’s laugh 7 seconds later (38:01) as he processes it in his mind. I haven’t seen him laugh like that since Rhod brought in the picture of his Mom in the bathtub.
I don’t understand how Paul can be so book smart yet so dense?? I’ve never seen someone with such opposing ends of that spectrum. It’s quite baffling, yet fascinating. Could you imagine if Daisy was on his team? She would have killed him. Paul kindness grants him leniency. If he was a prick the panel would absolutely destroy him.
@@Retired_Detective51 To be fair, Paul was dealing with a lot of medical issues during the filming, so I think that probably slowed him down. That said, I also know two people in my personal life who are both incredibly book smart but constantly prove denser than pound cake when it comes to simple, common knowledge stuff. While away at college, my sister stood waiting for a long line of cars to move so she could cross the street. A solid 2 or 3 minutes later she realized they were parked. And yet she was one of the highest in her graduating class of HS after only having been in the U.S./learning English for around 4.5 years. People are strange. So, so strange.
Lou crawling away on the ground like that compared to Sian and Joe looking like freaking nosfuratu crossing the grounds made me wheeze that was too funny
Good lord the centipede task was the best thing I've seen all day. I have no clue why but the word "wiggle" just elicits such an immediate response of laughter
😄 Alex: Have you ever chipped a tooth, Joe? Joe: I did actually knock out this tooth, uh..mucking around on a ferry. Sian: Bryan? Joe: It was Bryan Ferry.
Man they changed to Wednesday and I was fine then they didnt post and I thought ok maybe they are going back to Thursdays, then Thursday hit and nothing and I was like maybe friday... That was the day i almost lost my mind...
I actually hope they do space out the episode uploads like this from now onwards. That way we can at least delay the inevitable day we run out of episodes.
I work in international logistics, and this last month has been quite literally hell frozen over on earth. If the uploader was delayed due all the weather in Europe and America - I sincerely hope that you and yours are well and sound. My team has been putting in 60+ hour weeks combating this mess; and while I doubt we were involved in any fashion getting this episode to the fans, I can certainly understand the delay - it was serendipity that this came around the first night I haven't had to start early. Thank you!
So this is going to be random AF but thank you so MUCH for letting us know that dentists do botox Sian Gibson! I drive past a little cluster of businesses that share an electronic sign and it advertises botox, but the businesses were only a dentist, foot doc, and scrubs sales. I desperately wanted to know who did the botox!
For the ball bouncing task, it would have been good to put the ball in the dryer and let it go for 15 minutes, open the door quickly and scoop it with the bucket.
I can see that backfiring, but in a funny way. A lot of those machines lock completely until the cycle finishes, so I can see the person freaking out trying to open it as the timer counts down
7:53 I just really appreciate Sian Gibson’s straight-forward approach to immediately jump in, and I don’t think she gets enough credit for it. Sure her first try didn’t work out, but you’ll never know until you try.
I paused that as soon as Alex held his hand up, and literally googled "Taskmaster, what is wrong with Alex's hands", and it didnt come up with anything. Had I kept watching the show would have just told me he was born with marshmallow fingers. Patience is a virtue.
Watching the three of them try to crawl together as one to place the banana skin in the bin was one of the funniest things I've ever seen on the show! These five have really grown on me 😁
I wouldn't worry Iain, the "sangwich" pronunciation is very common in Scotland, particularly Glasgow (can't remember if he's from Glasgow or Edinburgh). I'm speaking as a Glaswegian. I can't, on the other hand, vouch for "clrisps"
Considering Paul was diagnosed with Parkinsons within a year or two of this show, it really does explain the slow movements and general lack of ability in the physical exercises. But also, it shows how fucking hard he tried in most of the tasks, for example the human centipede as he was crawling along the ground . That must have been so hard for him given he basically had parkinsons or early onset of it at that time.
The fact that Paul laughs and enjoys everything is so endearing. Always love it when the participants love the show (even while clearly suffering lmao)
The juxtaposition of Lou & Iain's passive aggressive antagonism with Sian and Joe's lovely chat about dentistry as they calmly work is art.
Also the contrast between the like 1 meter per hour movement of sian and Joe vs the absolute chaos of lou iain and Paul mad me absolutely lose it

Did he learn Spanish when little? His "accent" sound like certain Spanish speakers do when they pronounce those words.

Don't post one weekly episode and witness the absolute panic of half a million people...
If they upload like 5 full episodes in a day in the future, I fear the British are attacking the US and trying to distract us while they attack.
@@Soloman_Gumball this is a legitimate concern.
Man they changed to Wednesday and I was fine then they didnt post and I thought ok maybe they are going back to Thursdays, then Thursday hit and nothing and I was like maybe friday... That was the day i almost lost my mind...
I actually hope they do space out the episode uploads like this from now onwards. That way we can at least delay the inevitable day we run out of episodes.
@@xaostek u can delay it even longer by watching along with the podcast
Greg is getting generous with his points this season.
Season 8 is a quite low scoring season, though. Only season with less points up to this series (adapted to a 10 episode format) is season 1.
Seriously - 3 points for smelly eggs?
i thought this said Greg was getting dangerous with his pants and i was so worried about what that could possibly mean
I love Joe Just uses the Corridor like the Room of requirement and just Yells into the Void
15:33
"If I may interject _bebe_ "
Aaaaaaannnnddd this is what we missed for a whole damn week.
Iain was once described as dysfunctionally competitive and omg it's incredible
"I've got a law degree"
that's the scariest thing about this series
Cs get degrees
"Jazz? or razz?"
"Clunge?"
Solid banter, lads.
26:30 Can we just appreciate this historic moment wherein the Taskmaster'S ASSISTANT did the actual scoring of a Task?! Wowee! 😱
0:51 here we get to see Iain pretend to having been doing the little finger game for the laughs, and not just been completely in his own little world
Genius
Just sian and Joe just slowly moving in silence juxtaposed by the chaos of the 3 human centiped-ing and yelling at each other. 🤣🤣🤣
I work in international logistics, and this last month has been quite literally hell frozen over on earth. If the uploader was delayed due all the weather in Europe and America - I sincerely hope that you and yours are well and sound. My team has been putting in 60+ hour weeks combating this mess; and while I doubt we were involved in any fashion getting this episode to the fans, I can certainly understand the delay - it was serendipity that this came around the first night I haven't had to start early. Thank you!
Now I can stop crying, thank you
yes! But I was crying from laughing during move as one person task part II
I don’t want to die without seeing David Tennant and Mae Martin in this show. The absolute chaos their minds are would be perfect Taskmaster material!
Well Georgia Tennant is now a cast member on The Horne Section TV Show so maybe the subject might come up between Alex and David.
You got your wish for S15 - Mae Martin was just announced!
@@krashd I didn't know that, it would be so awesome if it happened!
@@somethingelse9176 OMG I haven't seen the announcement yet but you just made me really happy!
Hope you're loving Mae!
STAPLE GUN?! Staple gun.
So this is going to be random AF but thank you so MUCH for letting us know that dentists do botox Sian Gibson! I drive past a little cluster of businesses that share an electronic sign and it advertises botox, but the businesses were only a dentist, foot doc, and scrubs sales. I desperately wanted to know who did the botox!
For the ball bouncing task, it would have been good to put the ball in the dryer and let it go for 15 minutes, open the door quickly and scoop it with the bucket.
Noel Fielding applauds you
That is genius
I can see that backfiring, but in a funny way. A lot of those machines lock completely until the cycle finishes, so I can see the person freaking out trying to open it as the timer counts down
ohhh, that would be beautiful... would most enjoy seeing Iain deal with that I think
7:53 I just really appreciate Sian Gibson’s straight-forward approach to immediately jump in, and I don’t think she gets enough credit for it. Sure her first try didn’t work out, but you’ll never know until you try.
paul talking about henri viii was the coolest thing
"I've learned more about myself on this show than I would have liked."
I feel that, Ian.
Final task: weren't they supposed to not touch the bowls and plates that they'd already stacked? Several of them did, including Lou
Sian did right away. Lots of cheating
I wonder if it meant they couldn't reuse ones that already fell off, but if so that would be a weird way to phrase it
I loved Paul’s commentary about Henry VIII
I paused that as soon as Alex held his hand up, and literally googled "Taskmaster, what is wrong with Alex's hands", and it didnt come up with anything. Had I kept watching the show would have just told me he was born with marshmallow fingers. Patience is a virtue.
Watching the three of them try to crawl together as one to place the banana skin in the bin was one of the funniest things I've ever seen on the show! These five have really grown on me 😁
this team task, from beginning to catastrophic end, is one of my favorite taskmaster moments of all time.
The happiness in “I’ve got a law degree!” never fails to make me crease up
Oh god the 2nd part of the team task is an absolute beauty
I can´t stop laughing at the carnage
I can stop checking my RUclips subscriptions every 2 minutes now
"Yyyeeess. It's part of the way we do thiings."
Doing everything like a smooth hunchbacked saint from now on.
The should i be face up or face down on Lou question killed me?
Lol that “be one person” task had me cry laughing
I wouldn't worry Iain, the "sangwich" pronunciation is very common in Scotland, particularly Glasgow (can't remember if he's from Glasgow or Edinburgh). I'm speaking as a Glaswegian.
I can't, on the other hand, vouch for "clrisps"
It may be Irish blood, parts of Ireland refer to a ham sandwich as a hang sandwich.
Considering Paul was diagnosed with Parkinsons within a year or two of this show, it really does explain the slow movements and general lack of ability in the physical exercises. But also, it shows how fucking hard he tried in most of the tasks, for example the human centipede as he was crawling along the ground . That must have been so hard for him given he basically had parkinsons or early onset of it at that time.
Iain's "Babeehh" was such a James Acaster thing😂
I think I have never seen Joe so happy as during that teamtask
"Get up my arse and wriggle." I am WHEEZING.
36:31 has definitely become one of my favorite moments of the entire series
The fact that Paul laughs and enjoys everything is so endearing. Always love it when the participants love the show (even while clearly suffering lmao)
Thank you! A week off is 2 weeks too many 😂
Paul's beautifully concise description of Henry VIII was amazing.
Alex's face after Greg calls him Big Boy is.... 😍❤️😍❤️😍❤️😁😁😁
Greg is in such a good mood this ep. I like it.
Paul Sinha's mini-takedown of Henry VIII was exquisite
I’ve checked for this more then I’d like to admit 👍
RIGHT
Same
Me too. Lol
I, for one, have no shame in admitting that I've checked for this at least a million times even after having watched it a couple of times already.
I had to watch a rom-com and almost got a divorce last week... this week should go much better now. Thanks.
Can I be your son
"it says on the instructions-" "the task it's called the task"
I remember wondering why Joe gets typecast so often... now I realize that's just Joe. He's absolutely precious. lol.
