I recently finished watching all series of Task Master, and now it's over it feels like something is fundamentally missing from my life. I wish there could be a new episode of it every day of the week.
@@jwvandegrondenomfg, I totally didn't get that joke. Thank you for literally spelling it out. I'm way too high. Will watch this again when I'm not so I can appreciate it more. XD
@@RFC-3514 The awkward Horne delivery does work with it, for sure. I’m just surprised there was no reaction at all - even with a delay! It gave me an involuntary chuckle burst the first time I heard it.
Besides Taskmaster he also has No More Jockeys, it's more of his type of humor. He's an absolute glutton for punishment and Dad jokes. Also, there's Bad Golf.. I get the feeling Alex just records everything he does, and that's ok!
That was something quite special. Alex Horne is just so amazingly clever and innovative, whether it's music or stand-up or game shows. He is, I believe, a true comic genius.
I fell in love with Alex’s comedy from his guest appearances with The Horne Section, on 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown. From there I found Task Master, and now am obsessed with that show.
This is, but maybe for a brief moment in time, a Rowan Atkinson level bit. The memorization and impeccable timing remind of of Rowans bit where he portrays a janitor with a push broom that finds an invisible drum kit.
after having seen him on Taskmaster, I was wondering what Alex's comedic style would be like without someone else to play off of. turns out he just invents someone to fill that role
I’d never seen any of his standup before. Only knew him from Taskmaster. It’s so random, and weird, and awkward, and unorthodox, and yet it was somehow still hilarious hahah. I’m impressed, well done Alex! I say “well done Alex,” like he’s gonna see this. I know full well that he’ll never see my random TH-cam comment, on an old video, of his old standup routine. Oh well lol! 😂🤣 And then I type that whole paragraph (and this one) basically speaking to myself cause nobody else is gonna read my comment either....and so life goes 🙂
You know what, it's weird mainly because the audience feel almost mugged. Like the mask is pulled away. When we watch stand up it's live, but every word is probably exactly the same and he proves how unorganic, despite how it might seem, stand up is
@Halcyonacoustic people like Andrew schulz and such, but even sometimes some people use crowd work to lead into jokes. But most sets are insanely well rehearsed.
I think it kind of depends on the comic. Someone like Jerry Seinfeld is incredibly careful with his use of language and has every bit pruned down to a specific carefully crafted script. But someone like Ross Noble will just launch in to a topic and let his ADHD take him down some random wacky path, just making it up as he goes along.
I went to the Society for Cats in Germany to ask how many lives cats have in Germany-and I know on their website you can book an appointment, but I didn’t because I don’t speak much German, just a few words, so I thought I would just drop by without an appointment, and they just told me, quite firmly and without a hint of politeness, just straight up “No.” So no help there, very strict on the rules, those Germans.
JasCotton they just started putting them up for us americans on the official taskmaster youtube channel but its not all there yet and its censored. Check dailymotion or reddit for the whole series and no censors. :)
LITTTTLEEEEE ALEX HOOOOORNEEEEEE!..........is what I said in a high pitched voice when I saw this suggested for me........I don’t have a problem you do
One of the most original stand-ups I've ever seen.
Yes very original. A stand up who isn't funny at all.
@@Connplayer haha this comment was funnier than the video
I knew after watching task master this wasn't going to be normal stand up comedy. Now after watching this I'm like ah, makes sense.
@@anon420098you probably hate Norm Macdonald too
you poor thing
IT'S LITTLE ALEX HORNE!!
No Greg Davis though :P
I was gonna say the same thing!
....six...foot, 2 inches...

I've met him, he's quite a big fella
His sense of humour is very unique and it is ABSOLUTELY up my alley.
That olives joke was CRIMINALLY underrated!
He knew it would be... But it is a great joke. Needed a long walk to get there, but the payoff was there: 0lives were changed ;-)
@@jwvandegrondenomfg, I totally didn't get that joke. Thank you for literally spelling it out. I'm way too high. Will watch this again when I'm not so I can appreciate it more. XD
Once I received a note saying that The Queen was ill and I announced to the audience that she was one hundred and eleven.
Ha! I just got it 20 minutes after watching the video! 😂 0lives. 🤦♂️
It's a joke I will likely share, knowing full well people will groan and roll their eyes at me.
Watching this I was like
"he's joking"
"is he joking?"
"this dude ain't no joke"
When you’ve never seen Alex Horne’s stand-up but you know exactly what Alex Horne stand-up would be like 🤣🤣
The audience completely missed the best joke. I can't hear you...because this is prerecorded. Alex Horne is a brilliant comedian.
THIS exactly! It's too subtle to get live, but I laughed out loud.
The olives joke also deserved better
Came looking for this exact comment!
@@oldvlognewtricks The 0lives joke kind of relies on _not_ getting a big reaction.
@@RFC-3514 The awkward Horne delivery does work with it, for sure. I’m just surprised there was no reaction at all - even with a delay! It gave me an involuntary chuckle burst the first time I heard it.
I watched this because I just binge watched Taskmaster. Alex strikes me as so adorably awkward.
Sameeee
you should definately check out no more jockeys then
Same! I'm in love with him now.
Besides Taskmaster he also has No More Jockeys, it's more of his type of humor. He's an absolute glutton for punishment and Dad jokes. Also, there's Bad Golf.. I get the feeling Alex just records everything he does, and that's ok!
Yeah
A comedian heckling himself. That is truly the genius of Alex Horne.
The amount of rehearsal to get this so polished bewilders the mind. Props.
That was something quite special. Alex Horne is just so amazingly clever and innovative, whether it's music or stand-up or game shows. He is, I believe, a true comic genius.
It never occurred to me that Alex would do stand-up. I'm already pleased and I haven't even watched the video yet.
Well now I‘m pleased for you.
Only just got the olives joke.
Just got it after reading your comment, thanks for writing it! =)
Didn’t get it until I read it.
olives matter
I take it you were in the audience?
Hahahahahahahaha. Only got this when reading this comment 🤣🤣🤣🤣
This was wonderfully strange
I fell in love with Alex’s comedy from his guest appearances with The Horne Section, on 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown. From there I found Task Master, and now am obsessed with that show.
Rex Stetson the Horne section podcast is pretty funny too
Never knew Alex did proper stand-up. He's such a gem.
Hahah fucking genius. I also highly recommend Task Master, honestly one of the funniest shows I've ever seen.
Liberty Scott yeah, okay, but like..... Why is this girl so dang beautiful? 👀
@@xNYRmike huh?
Liberty Scott Oh nothingggg 👀 Feeling like Jon Richardson right now 😂 But yeah, taskmaster is an amazing show haha
That is an out of the world beautiful woman's picture on your profile picture. Care to name her? For a friend of course
@@AmitKumar-tw1sj im prettu sure its a drawing
0 lives...Olives 😂😂😂 oh little Alex Horne, you're a legend!
Oh Jesus I didn’t get it! I was searching the comment section in my stupidity lol
thank you for that 🎉
This is almost magician-level of standup! So flawless!! Alex horne needs more standup videos!
0 lives = olives
Your comment is very helpful, thank you.
And Greece is known for olives, if someone was missing the last piece of the puzzle.
I feel like this guy is gonna go places one day like make a tv show that becomes a cult sensation about making other comedians do random tasks
Quite specific, what makes you think so?
I think he may be even open to sitting on a cake.
Sounds like a broken aeroplane. Would never take off.
Never seen this before, but I love it, so original and so flawlessly performed.
Having met Alex through Taskmaster, it’s honestly quite strange to see him in regular clothes and not a suit 🤣
This is, but maybe for a brief moment in time, a Rowan Atkinson level bit. The memorization and impeccable timing remind of of Rowans bit where he portrays a janitor with a push broom that finds an invisible drum kit.
The man, the myth, the legend it’s... LITTLE ALEX HORNE.
Amazing stand up
And saying it "with high pitch". 👌🏻
How can you not love and adore Alex Horne . Brilliant.
This is professionalism at its finest, well done, BRAVO!!!👍🏿👍🏿
My God he looks weird without his suit. Lol. I love you, Little Alex Horne.

So so true! He's often said he does better when he's not alone on stage and yeah, making that other 'person' is exactly what he's done here.
Holy shit, Alex is a genius and this is hilarious.
I mean he made taskmaster, he has to be a genius
Is he Heckling himself?
No, it's Michael Caine
.
I love it, when he squeezes his eyes in frustration. He's a pretty unique dude :)
He's doing it, so no one else would
The olive joke had me in stiches! How did they not get it?!
Mai N Cause it’s meant to be a bad joke. That’s the joke within the joke lol
@@avi2578 i know, but who doesn't love a bad joke, eh?
@@maiNmusica True!
@@maiNmusica Erwin Schrödinger was quite mad about the Greek 0lives. Atomism.. He ate 0lives for breakfast with a wave function.
I watched this while high and really freaked out
Anyway, love Alex!
Oh boy, that was a tough crowd lol. I'm sitting here giggling my head off but there were hardly any laughs from the crowd?
That imitation was spot on. It even looked like Howie Mandell.
I THOROUGHLY enjoyed this 😂 so original! Really had me rolling!
Excellent work from the Gigantic Alex Horne.👏
I’d never seen any of his standup before. Only knew him from Taskmaster.

i read it, enjoyed it, and agree! and two years after you left it even. so there's that.
I’ve never seen anything like this, I like it.
This was so good I immediately looped it again
I've never seen something so clever and brilliant and funny, thanks for posting this
This was absolutely WASTED on this clearly dense audience. The man is brilliant

Insanely original and extremely funny. AH is amazing.
Really unique. I love it.
0lives sorry, 0 lives. Alex is just too clever at times. A true genius
Loved it, olives... brilliant. Plus, top miming skills.

This is awful and you have my upvote
i dont think i've ever seen alex stand like that!
Squirrels forever
That man is so creative!
This is brilliant. I love him
Even if it isn't "laugh out loud" funny, it's really good and interesting. And that's just if it isn't laugh out loud funny in the first place.
It's sort of "frown intriguedly" funny for me.
The audiences didn't get that joke about Olives and 0 lives. It deserve a much bigger laugh than that
That is actually incredibly clever, and it must be so difficult to memorize. Like a playing a six minute freetime solo that doesn't repeat.
What a dry crowd, this was great
Fantastic. Love Alex Horn
I recommend watching him on Taskmaster. You'll need a VPN but it's worth it.
JasCotton no you don't, it's on telly every day
I'm in America. It's not even available on TH-cam here. There was an American version with Alex and Reggie Watts. But I'm not sure it's coming back.
@@DarthArachnious I watch TaskMaster on YT all the time in USA.
I keep getting not available in your country.

Its so weird seeing LAH in normal clothes and doing stand up.
That took some learning.
this was hilarious. so different
❤️ me some lil Alex Horne
when the point hits is actually great xD
dude this is amazing
"I can't hear you, because it is pre recorded " or 0lives
Audience didn't get it lol
Absolutely genius 😂
This explains the TM interviews this year 😂
It's so damn awkward like watching a schizophrenic think out loud or something.

Hilarious... I love his humor
Very interesting setup. I’ve never seen that before
Absolutely genius ! Very funny
"I don't understand the joke," Said little Alex Horne, about his own joke, seconds after telling it

A freak. My precious little freak..
The olive joke took me quite a while
He looks like Matt Hancock and when I really stopped and thought about it, I didn't mind it.
I love Alex almost as much as I love his sweatshirt.
The legend that brought us Taskmaster.
GENIUS!!
Leave it to the francophones to miss the.... je ne sais quoi🤌 😂
Monty Python would be proud
this is exactly what i expected
I'm guessing the little nod he does after saying "fine" at 1:04 is a signal to the sound technician to start the recording.
Anyway, Alex is the best.
He's actually a ventriloquist and he's doing both voices live.
It's little Alex Horne!!
The olive joke deserved more
Next level.
so weird and so good
I caught on when he said, 'why would they get olives?', then laughed at myself, then the joke.
Hardest laugh wins, your time starts now!
That is so original!
the noise he made is what I do in my mind when someone tells me to put a song on youtube.....eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeemmmmmmmmm
Fabulous
