Having a little rewatch 3 years later and its still great stuff. Twerpy Horne, Fiddly Watto and Sparkly Key. What a time to be alive. Wondering wil we ever see a 6th set 😢
@@franksimon8375 Aw man, that was the one where Alex sings along to rap songs (and the others have to guess the song), wasn't it? That was the hardest I've laughed in a long time!! :)
When you think about it, this was an all-time classic from Key. Starting with the absolutely brilliant plates on grass category, to attempting to match with Sinead Cusack, to all the possible moses categories, to the double brains theory to the ending. Just pure Key chaos. Just incredible.
When you think about it Dick Dastardly might be the worst (or at least most challengeable) play ever in NMJ history. Double out on name in dictionary. Out for feet dangling. Out for appearing on TV with a dog. Out for having name on the front of a book.
This might be my favorite NMJ in a long time. I loved, loved, loved Alex's overalls (I also liked how his yellow shirt blended in with his yellow couch. I thought he looked adorable. Plus, I adore goofy playful Alex, which contributed to a goofy playful episode, which is my favorite kind of NMJ.
When you think about it, there’s no real mechanism for challenging whether the chooser has got the name right (or whether the category is actually correct for that name) in NMJ. It’s a big failure of the rules. Hopefully James Acaster will resolve this when he becomes the first guest player.
@@tr1ckster it is the biggest hole in the rules, but I don't think it necessarily needs to be fixed. There is a common understanding that if it feels early on, or if the category is quickly changed, and the mood is right, then it's no big deal. They have said before that such a play results in elimination, but their actions don't match their words. If we look at precedent, I think any one of them could be got off such a challenge.
@@marcokilby7875 You like phrases? Are you familiar with the phrase “giving someone the cold shoulder”? D’ya know how it came about? Well, ages ago....
Humans actually have two brains. I kid ye not. Look it up. One is in the head and the other is part of the nervous system and is located in the stomach, which gives us the saying ‘gut feeling’. So, Mr Key, the Frank Worthington of NMJs, is right.
@@franksimon8375 unless you live completely 'off grid' and don't participate in the economy at all, you at the very least pay taxes on the price of things you buy :)
We all want to see fancy dress nmj horne was effectively dressed as a minion. Also clear small caught opportunity missed. Absolute love this boys and all your work thanks for being a shining light of lockdowns
That has made me want to map the overlap between a variety of British TV shows, and then I remembered that this is definitely not the research I am employed to do, and I do have to pay rent.
Did anyone else fill in the awkward gap left open after the ignored BOP BOP with a follow up UNICORN MUG? I don't mind telling the world that I, when I think about it, did. And, to be honest, didn't mind it at all.
As one of the Below the Line group who has not yet made a comment, I just want to say thanks to all of you for giving us something to watch online during the Covid lockdowns. It is very entertaining to watch three good friends, all super-intelligent, play this silly game together.
When you really think about it, an absolute classic! Fun from the moment we first see Alex as a Rainbow presenter! A joyous ride sadly brought to an abrupt halt by Key completely losing his mind!
You're not wrong there! What is working in his favour is getting the stats out there. He and Greg are probably the only public figures whose height I actually know.
Mary Magdalene was the lead vocalist on the song "I Don't Know How To Love Him" from Jesus Christ Superstar. Not sure if it hit the top 40 in the UK though.
That game went by in a flash! Only recently started watching these and today especially was a much-needed diversion from the Dick Dastardly f***tastrophy that is the current covid situation in Ontario, CAN. Thanks mates!
I’m so relieved it’s a 5 set game and not 3-set. What would I be doing with my Friday lunches if they wrapped it up now 😓 good entertaining game as always. Thanks!
I assumed it was general COVID-19 advice for preventing disease transmission, as we touch our faces so often without being aware. They are doing a public service :)
I am so excited to have bought a ticket for 6th May. Thanks for tickets being available internationally! I live in Melbourne. I and my two adult sons, David, 38, and Michael, 27, are massive Taskmaster fans, and therefore of all three of you.
If the Davenport one is based on Wimbledon the trophy despite its look is not a plate its technically a salver and is called a dish within the game. Not to be pedantic or anything
Key has the resolve to consume his own house plants but will give the game away at the drop of a hat. No one can get a read on him; it's magic to watch

Horne cosplaying as either a minion, and old school village idiot, or a 90s children's TV presenter. When you think about it, I like it
A dweeb
@@cipherhex a twerp.
@@tr1ckster A classic North London elite, liberal jizzhound.
I can't shake the idea that he's wearing platform trainers, and I find that unsettling.
I don't mind it
Nevermind Minions, I've never seen someone be exactly the same colour as their couch before.
I couldn't tell where the sleeve ends and the sofa begins
He genuinely told Romesh he thinks him wearing yellow is out of character

Both my brains enjoyed this today.
We haven't had a classic Key brain explosion in a while, but that was one of the greats
Good thing he's got a backup brain in his knee.

Double out on name in dictionary.
Out for feet dangling.
Out for appearing on TV with a dog.
Out for having name on the front of a book.
Also the Y is Dastardly is functioning as a vowel.
@@stonecoggins107 I was waiting for Mary Magdalene to go out on that count as well.
It also adds to the mountain of evidence for Wacky Races being a poisoned chalice for key.
Bob the Builder was out on 4 counts also.
In tears at the new hit single "My Dad Got Mistaken For (Rolf Harris)"
Key's expression when he gets challenged for Dick Dastardly is incredible.
Come to think of it, he's probably been on telly with a dog
The way Key says "Why?" when Horne challenges him at the end was the most innocent and adorable thing anyone has ever done ever
It's at 23.35 for anyone wondering 🤣
23:06: Walter Boggis
No more mononyms.
Classic.

Can't believe no one's pointed out the bit of brilliance from Horne at 13:43:
Key: "I've got one…problem."
Horne: "That's not the song, is it?"
The complete Horne breakdown in this episode is so good. "Horne, have you been doing magic mushrooms?" The chemistry is priceless
"twenty-five seconds on the twerrrrrrrp clock"
Watching these games on a Friday morning feels like being the only sober friend while watching your tipsy mates making increasingly poor decisions
Maybe start drinking at 8am?
Watto there, the real winner of set 3 with 13 "Unicorn Mugs" to Horne's 1 and Key's 3.
They kept panning Key's Bop Bops. I think it's really him that's up.
Key looking at his brain with his other brain is some Karl Pilkington level logic
Their brains are next to their problem holes
Key has a problem hole...it’s called his mouth.
...play a record.
@@J.L.Media. The phrase 'play a record' will always make me laugh.

Nice to see Penelope's colleagues getting in on the game
I think The Ant Hill Mob was mentioned once but not as an actual play.
Has anyone been pictured on TV with a dog more than Dick Dastardly?
Probably Shaggy from Scooby-Doo, but it's close....
Cesar Milan
3 certainties in life: Death, Taxes and Key playing a Wacky Racer in a game of NMJ
Has he ever mentioned anyone other than Penelope Pitstop, Dick Dastardly, and Muttley? I'd wager he doesn't know the other racers?
"how many games is that show going to cost you?"
You don't have to pay taxes, you're just bad at reading definitions and finding loopholes
@@franksimon8375 unless you live completely 'off grid' and don't participate in the economy at all, you at the very least pay taxes on the price of things you buy :)
Loving Alex's Minion garb
I believe the consuming of the poisonous plant from the pink helmet was Key'd undoing really. A dastardly affair. Congratulations, Twerp.
"Little Alex" could easily be a 3rd Mario Brother. 🍄🟡🟡🟡
Wario has a yellow shirt, but his overalls aren't blue
A Frenchman, a Minion and a Christmas Elf
Weird, hadn't noticed that, but you're not wrong.
Do they go to a bar after the game?
Together at last
Boris Johnson top on my list of danglers
We all want to see fancy dress nmj horne was effectively dressed as a minion. Also clear small caught opportunity missed. Absolute love this boys and all your work thanks for being a shining light of lockdowns
"Alex Horne. No more minions"
Two (with a pronounced w) bop bops from Tim left hanging! UNICORN MUG!
Bro, at least two, I feel your pain.
The look of dread followed by the look of being formerly alive on Key as he eats the poisonous plant was quite good, actually.
I for one think Horne looks lovely in his dungarees!
I'm a little jealous. I'm a big guy and if I wear dungarees I look like Leatherface or some other rural horror movie brute.
@@Lastielion I'm very much pro-dungarees on everybody, so I'm sure you could pull it off!
he looks a twerp.
Shouting "THERE'S NO GRASS IN THE JUNGLE, ALEX" at my laptop so very a normal friday morning when you think about it
There is, here and there
Re: Horne's outfit, looks like somebody's bleaches the minions
Liked for the old school reference.

I don't mind telling the world that I, when I think about it, did. And, to be honest, didn't mind it at all.
Horne may have won the set. but he really has to get his "Unicorn Mug" numbers up next set
The NMJ sign language for any given sport being snooker fingers with no utterance of a laugh is just the kind of thing I have to say, I love.
Incredible outfits from two thirds of ATL today. I don't mind it.
I would have hoped Watto would know Pasteur wasn't penicillin - that was Fleming.
No more people with things they invented named after them.
@@MadcapShambleton Mr Penicillin is out then

No clue why but I found Tim's scream at 13:14 very amusing. Feels like it could be used in a number of situations
I wasn't expecting a minion in my No More Jockeys.
Also: TWERP!
Nice to see the importance of Unicorn Mug being confirmed
Good game, folks! Good to see Horne embracing his role as TV’s best minion 😂
Well I for one think it's great that Horne has got that new job presenting Play Away
That outfit is doing Horne no favors dispelling his image as little. He looks like a child who was left alone with some yellow paint.
You're not wrong there! What is working in his favour is getting the stats out there. He and Greg are probably the only public figures whose height I actually know.
hornes solemn nod when asked about consuming mushrooms recently made me giggle
Ooh now Basden would be an interesting addition to above the line, even if only for a one off
YES please!
I'm sorry, is Horne wearing Charlotte Ritchie's Taskmaster uniform or am I just going crazy?
Watson with by far the most Unicorn Mug action and yet out first 7 times in set 3. Just shows how tough it is to keep focus at this level
Fantastic, fantastic game! ^_^ I would happily fork over some money to see the whole, unedited thing :) Thanks ATL and Haiminh, much love to you
Key workshopping his Moses category was classic NMJ.
Mary Magdalene was the lead vocalist on the song "I Don't Know How To Love Him" from Jesus Christ Superstar. Not sure if it hit the top 40 in the UK though.

Is Alex dressing as Charlotte Ritchie here
Just seen the thumbnail, is alex horne dressed as a minion?
🎵🎶 AT THE AIRPOOOOOORT THEY WERE SHOOUUUTTIIINNNGGG 🎶🎵
Tim's checking brain let his thinking brain down badly
BTL: gets invested in Key's plant, names the plant (Martin), monitors the plant.
Key: tries to eat the plant.
It's his plant, you're crazy people on the computer.
Brilliant as ever. Thanks gents.
Moses was quite famously born in Egypt. You'd have to have a really maverick definition of Asia to make that category work
I was really looking forward to the "sometimes y" argument for Enya......
I’m surprised it wasn’t brought up for Mary Magdalene
Stats prove that Watson has really let his game slip this series. Key needs a good pre-season and all the board room issues sorted out.
horne turns up dressed as a minion, comes up with two of the most memorable songs in jockeys history, wins the set. vintage stuff
Congratulations on a great set. Long live No more Jockeys !
As always, superb fun. Horne looked too young to be drinking, what on earth was that outfit? Plates on grass was an amazingly dastardly category
"It couldn't be worse" Tough to argue with that one really.
Horne, with his superb dress sense, playing ficticious instruments! Top of the pops 👍
When you think about it, Horne's yellow couch makes him look like his arms are outstretched for a hug.
As a dungaree wearer, I don't mind Horne's choice of outfit when I think about it
Rash play by Key there. He was getting his eye in, but a rush of blood to the head and he's thrown it away.
Sorry to hear you got caught in the rain Key. You didn't wind up with another heat rash did you?
I’m so relieved it’s a 5 set game and not 3-set. What would I be doing with my Friday lunches if they wrapped it up now 😓 good entertaining game as always. Thanks!
How's putting your faith in these 3 working out this week?
We do, actually, have two brains. Look up what happens when someone has their link severed, it's fascinating.
You know it's Friday when the NMJ notification pops up 😁
Alex Horne in his outfit in which, when you think about it, he failed in his audition to be Mr Tumble.
One of the all time greats!
Hale and Pace's Billy and Johnny lives on in Alex!
Howling at about minute 08:00. Tim I love ya, man.
Just seen Watto's background... Lovely to see Otley get a mench.. Not quite Bradford, but almost...
How in the world is the video thumbnail of Mark, the person wearing the most normal outfit, and not one of these other twerps?
For some reason, when Watto goes 'weeeeelll' at 16:16, it makes my Home Pod start googling Mary Magdalene
Right now, the title of the video says "Game 31". That's quite a long old set if it goes that long, I don't mind it!
3:14 Key's brain chat here feels like a reference to Karl Pilkington but maybe I'm mental lol
Can anyone explain/point me to the origin of "take your hands off your face"?
Ooh, I've been wondering too!
I assumed it was general COVID-19 advice for preventing disease transmission, as we touch our faces so often without being aware. They are doing a public service :)
Think It was because the comments about mark touching his hair got on their nerves so they banned head touching
i feel like the moment everybody realised what horne was wearing was the moment things started going a bit unhinged
So, instantly.
looking forward to mutley being played, will be a real sight to behold.
I am so excited to have bought a ticket for 6th May. Thanks for tickets being available internationally! I live in Melbourne. I and my two adult sons, David, 38, and Michael, 27, are massive Taskmaster fans, and therefore of all three of you.
It was my birthday this week, and all I want is a date with Tim Key. Also, loving Horn’s minion look.
Would you consider a fig with Alex Horne?
@@supertouring22 yes, probably, but it would be platonic.
My birthday is the 25th and I would also like a date with Tim
Horne’s whole frame is screaming Cbeebies. Apart from the beer.
Losses by own category is a hilarious stat
must say, when you think about it, im watching a new episode of no more jockeys first thing in the morning.
i don't mind it.
KEY is auditioning for Elbow, WATSON for St. Etienne and HORNE for the Rednex. I don't mind it actually.
1:47 horne sounds like a children’s show character
“what is it? do you know what it is?” okay dora.
Congratulations, Mr Minion.
Watto’s good lighting is freaking me out
