I love how British Comedy is just the comedians joining each others shows
They're both under Avalon comedy. It's kinda like when music artists constantly collab with people who are with the same label.
Part of it is that BBC is not allowed to hand out cash or extravagant non-cash prizes, so many shows that would have otherwise been competitions/quiz shows end up just having comediants being in them for the laughs rather than members of the public.
instablaster...
I figure it’s like how American comedians are all on each other’s podcasts. I honestly love both.
Tbh, it’s the same in Germany ^^
"I haven't got the energy that the writers of those stories imagine i have.". Sounds like Greg's only a gym membership and a Redbull away from banging Alex.
Honestly, I think their dynamic in the bedroom wouldn't differ much from their on-screen dynamic. Greg would just lean back and let Alex do all the work :p.
Omfg this got me dying 😂😂😂
@@neon-kitty i hate this comment but you're still right hahahaha
"Everyone knows, Everyone knows, I am the carpet snake"
Greg is definitely hetero-flexible.
Imagine Greg's horror when he finds out that Alex wrote all of that erotic fan-fiction.
The terrifying thing is I unironically would not be surprised.
New task idea: Write sexual fanfiction about Greg and Alex and upload it to the internet. Most liked fiction after 3 months after being uploaded wins. You have 1 hour to write it. Your time starts now.
really the main one theyd be referencing is the one they sung tgether on the horne section podcast. someone found the person who wrote it, and they have written HUNDREDS of poems and stories about them - i wouldnt be surprised if it was in the thousands since i saw it 3 years ago
That's where I thought it was going. I expected Alex to say "I spent three weeks writing those!"
Greg Davies referencing Reddit and sexual fiction is fucking surreal
no i'm pretty sure it's fucking alex
@@pitofdespair-seaonsonal359 💀
I’m firm in my stance that their relationship on Taskmaster is that of a cliche villain and his right-hand minion.
Who is more f’ed up than the actual villain lmaooo
Greg and Alex continue to wonder why there is sexual fiction about them but don’t stop acting like a couple on taskmaster. Love it
Can someone please tell me where those reddit fan fictions are, so I can be sure to avoid them and never ever have to read them. A link would be best, so I know what not to click on.
Archive of our own is your friend there...
jesus christ, 158??
I’m surprised there isn’t more
Parler,disscuter et s’améliorer Studios
Give it some time ...
@@parlerdisscuteretsameliore6005 it's been two weeks and it's already in the early 200s
The relationship is Despotic King and Impotent Chamberlain.
YES
I read quite a bit of those fanfics, and I do love the fact that they do the 'task assigning' part, with envelope and all, but in the universe the TV show doesn't exist, so they just seem to do it for no clear visible reason, lmao
All of these comments actually have me laughing out loud 😂
actually in such a universe greg could be easily giving the tasks for alex to do as their special little roleplay. "make the taskmaster ... fastest wins." lol
“Entertain Robbie Williams for an evening” sounds like a task
Their relationship on the show always sort of reminded me of Mr Burns and Smithers.
right? or like a king and a jester or something
I love them both. I do not see sexual tension or a father/son relationship ...I DO see a bully beating up on a subordinate PA....and the funny thing is, Alex designed the dynamic of the show. They are brilliant.
That's how I've always seen it aswell.
Same
Yeah. That's what it is. It's just some folk find that dynamic kinda sexy.
@@kayleighbrown459 some folk find every kind of dynamic sexy between random people sexy for whatever fucked up reason
@@fredhasopinions
And god bless em for it.
The way Greg said fuck you to Alex is amazing
I enjoyed the Taskmaster 'scream' outtake, also featuring Russell:
Alex: "I don't think I've ever screamed before."
Greg: "Yes you have!"
Do you have the link by chance?
@@jdawn1982 I think it was this one: th-cam.com/video/KdBavfiJYYE/w-d-xo.html
@@jdawn1982 th-cam.com/video/KdBavfiJYYE/w-d-xo.html
Another good example of Greg/Alex at th-cam.com/video/g74RxMeX3Lc/w-d-xo.html 😂😂
Yes, the traditional way! 😂
Seeing them outside of that weird fake abusive relationship is so nice.
yeah I understand it’s just a joke but it’s strange
@@KrisCasey4 I think it's meant to be strange. Even as a joke it's done to make some people feel uneasy and uncomfortable.
Its not so abusive. Plus Alex 100% loves being abused i guarantee
It's just the British sense of humour
I would argue that we know it's consenting due to alex creating the show, so more of a humiliation kink, dom, sub stuff haha
I remember when they read the fanficfion out on the horne section podcast. The worst part was i knew exactly which fic they were reading
Was Greg on the podcast?
@@spamvicious yup
Please tell me which episode was that
Do you know which episode that was? I'd love to see if it's one of my fav stories.
If only one could post the "man of culture" meme right now... 😂
personally my favourite noise is the sound of a guitar being thrown onto a pair of waders that have been filled with water
-with a bell on top XD
Fair play
I feel so culturally eduated that I got the reference, it's embarassing xD
love that reference !
The funny thing is. The question on if Greg & Alex's on-screen relationship was somewhat Dom/Sub. TH-cam recommended me as the next video after this is "Taskmaster's Most Romantic Moments". The video's intro pic is of Greg & Alex kissing.
Wow they are adorable when they're acting outside of the Taskmaster/assistant dynamic. VERY much appreciate Russell picking the question about fanfiction.
Ok but wait... if their characters’ relationship is supposed to be father/son, that’s actually MORE messed up?? So much innuendo, and they even kissed once...
I was thinking the same thing
Here’s the weirdest part, Alex is the producer of the show, meaning he is Greg’s boss.
@@tootruetrivia5715 yup, I’m aware! Although boss is a strong term for the relationship between showrunner and host.
Topping from the bottom 👌
Don’t worry it’s granddad and grandson, everything is okay :)
I say this as a Dane, danish sexy talk is definitely the worst thing to overhear...
As a fellow Dane I agree. It's horrendous
you guys are just making non-danes more curious about what it sounds like
@@katleinzimmerman8783 As a half dane, it's kind of half fine.
what's it like
@@odettemim3509 bit like a Viking on steroids while trying to read a map when they’re lost
We've got the same tiles that Greg has in our kitchen. Just thought I'd share.
How does one share tiles with another person? Do you remove them at set times and post them to Greg, and go without, until Greg has returned them to you after his alloted, designated period?
@@jamiebridson7871 Indeed, I have to be particularly careful when removing them, Greg likes them in good condition. We do it every second Wednesday.
Ahh yes, the Elina series. Very common in the UK as they were produced by BCT, as well as one of the cheaper Turkish factories so easy to get in places like Trago and B&Q
@@StephenMckeatingVegan Curiously, I have actually wondered about this. They are a thing we do not have and they seem remarkably common in houses pictured on all forms of UK television over quite a long period of time. Thanks for that.
You’re famous
Team Series
-Mark and Nish
-Mel and Hugh
And the anti-team: James and Rhod
Please!!
It will end once James kills Rhod I'm afraid...
Anti team 2 - Ed and David
@@Kay-vf8wu I love how Ed & James, great friends who do a podcast together, are the ones who have to get the teammate they both despise. I like the idea of them in the studio just chatting together about how much they hate it.
Also Jessica and Kerry!
The twins of series 3, Rob and Sara.
Alex: "I don't think it's very sexual from my point of view."
"It's not [sexual] tension, we're very happy." -Alex Horne, Season 2 Episode 4 of Taskmaster, timestamp is 38:07 in the video uploaded on the Taskmaster TH-cam channel (you're welcome).
I desperately want to watch Greg tell stories from that party, and from the 80s in general
I think the couple he was talking about may have been my aunt and uncle... shes Danish and they were living in Shropshire during the 80's also about the right age!
I feel like they misunderstood the body swap question? Like, they thought "body swap" meant the head would stay but I think what the guy asking the question meant was the whole body, including the head. So it'd be their mum's mind inside their crush's body (head and all) and vice versa.
I don't think that distinction would particularly change their answer, I can't imagine Greg going "oh I'll shag my mum's body then, now that I understand the specifics".
@@SundaraRamanR Hahaha, probably not. Misunderstandings just bother me, I guess :p.
You are swimming in deep waters, mate. Come up for air.
You are right, that is exactly what I meant when I asked it.
Yeah that was a weird interpretation of the question they had- probably would have resulted in the same answer though I guess
Some daddy iss-yoos in the rum.
XD
THIS COMMENT
Alex also says tis-yoos which is fucking with my mind ever since I heard it
I believe Alex Horne always talks in his presenter voice. Even to his wife
who responds in her newsreader voice
Time for me to start writing some fanfic, involving a jacuzzi and ice cubes.
please do!
And don’t forget the surprised granny 😉😂
The pure thought makes me not want to be alive ever again
I'd have been more then happy if that was 3 hours long .
Yes! I need more!
Yes! This was wat too short!
I'd watch Greg read the telephone book, to be honest.
Russel is such a ray of sunshine. He honestly keeps me alive at this point.
well, at least he didn't find AO3...
alex definitely HAS found ao3- he made a song using words from a fanfiction of himself and greg from ao3
@@rouge1888 Can I please have the name of this song?
@@cafekkos13 it didn't have a name, but you can find it on the horne section podcast ep with greg davies
@@rouge1888 I don't know what to say, except that my life is both better and worse after having listened to that.
I just love Greg Davies he's definitely my celebrity crush 😍
Same
Same
Totally
Absolutely.
funny that russell mentioned johnny depp briefly living in bath because it's my hometown & my dad SWEARS he nearly accidentally ran him over once (johnny depp, not russell howard). we also had a surreal time one christmas eve in a pub because russell was sat RIGHT behind us & my entire family were desperately trying to play it cool & not bother him. we were drunk & probably failed miserably. i miss bath.
As an American, I would be so thrown off if I saw something about Taskmaster on my local news channel. It would be like two different worlds colliding.
That's how I felt when I found out they have dubbed Taskmaster in my language and shown it on our telly. It's surreal and mildly horrifying.
@@rkah6187 oh god, dubbed taskmaster. can't imagine
@@cookie4049 It's not even the fact that it was dubbed, though that's already awful in and of itself. It's that they used that horrible voice-over thing where you can still hear the original underneath. I couldn't listen to it longer than a minute.
Welp that was absolutely hilarious and now that it’s ended I have no choice but to return to my bleak reality
Or I could rewatch Taskmaster series 6 once more...
Or watch the first episode of the new season!
or watch seasons 1 through 9 THEN the new episode all on all 4
You heard about the fanfic, right?
🤣🤣🤣
Ah, you have taste.
"Like a fainting goat" is almost too beautiful.
Joanne Whalley played Daredevil's mom in the Netflix show, i.e. a sexy nun. Anyone who has watched Willow should understand Greg's crush on her, and she still looks great.
She does!! Never heard of her before this but after a quick google I definitely agree
She was Katherine of Aragon in the "Wolf Hall" miniseries a few years ago. I'm surprised Russell Howard had never heard of her. She was billed as Johanna Whaley-Kilmer during the years of her movie star fame.
Anyone else really wanna hear the rest of Greg's stories
Didn't expect I'd spend a few hours binging Russell Howard, but I don't regret a single minute of it.
Greg Davies is totally my celebrity crush. He's like a mountain of sexual innuendo.... I want to scale the mountain. Like Everest. Plant my flag....
Loved this! Greg and Alex have the best stories on this planet.
As an American, it's one of my favorite things when British people do an American accent. I feel weirdly honored somehow.
I really wish we got more British shows like Task Master here in the US. The only way I ever get to see them is on the internet.
Fortunately for us, we have the internet. U.S. TV would f-cock these up beyond recognition, and then make you sit through endless commercials to get 2/3 of the content of a Brit show. Brit TV is just far superior.
@@blackeyedsusan727 Worse yet, it'd be hosted by a cavalcade of moronic b-list "comedians", actors, and lame talkshow hosts, and be about as entertaining as a getting a root canal. Mind you, I don't hate all American TV, but a good portion of it is absolute garbage. It could be done and even done well in America, but it wouldn't be because the producers for most AmerIcan TV are too busy snorting blow off of hookers' backsides to make good content and marketing tells them they have to cater to the lowest common denominator.
I mean there was a US version of taskmaster and you can imagine how that went...
@@krs9748 Was there? I've never even heard of it. Looking it up, it seems to have been a Comedy Central endeavor. It seems Reggie Watts was the task master and Alex Horne was assistant. Looking over the panelists, it looks like it could have had some potential. I like Reggie but I don't think he'd have the same kind of looming vibe as Greg Davies that makes for a good task master, though. Comedy Central also has a poor track record for keeping decent shows on the air, so no surprise there that it only lasted a season. I'd also imagine Alex probably didn't have time to continue putting into the show, since he was also doing the UK original.
@@upinarms79Episodes were cut down to 22 minutes, too. I haven't seen it but it seemed like most people were disappointed with it
That question about crushes and switching bodies with their mums sounds like a question Jimmy Carr would ask.
Now I can hear him laughing in my head! 🤣😂
@@garfreeek Ah! Ah! Ahhh!
@@berryberrykixx EXACTLY!! xD
There is one man who would make an ideal contestant on Taskmaster. A man so perfect for the role, that I’m surprised he hasn’t been on it yet. So, who agrees that seeing Karl Pilkington on Taskmaster would be comedy gold.
It would be a disaster. So obviously, it must happen.
Oh my gosh! Big round headed bafoon!
That interview made my weekend perfect! :D
i liked Greg's impression of a USA news anchor
forever greatful to Russell for this 😂 They've embraced it
This is gonna send me off on another Russell or taskmaster binge
Omfg, you picked my question about swapping bodies!😂😂😂. Wicked!
... dude
@@jessicaable5095 I hope he asks Tim Minchin my new question... Moahahahaaa #evenmoreevil
@@BardicJim... Duuuude
His mom fucking cracks me up. Now we know where he gets it from. Honestly tho, she seems like such a good mom.
This was honestly hilarious, thank you 😂
Love big Greg he's a total legend
I half expected an outro with the Taskmaster theme song
I keep getting recommended this video even though I've already watched it, and every time I misread the title as "there's a lot of sexual friction about us" and it makes me giggle
100% agree with Greg! I saw Willow in the theater when I was in 2nd grade (like 8-9YO), and Joanne Whalley as Sorsha was my first crush. When she changes alliances and hoists Madmartigan from the ground by his baldric to kiss him... Lifetime passions for strong, fierce women are formed in scenes like that.
I'm Arkansan and remember the news reporting the basketball thing, but it took until now for me to put together the video and the show.
Joanne Whalley in Scandal, a 1990s movie about the Profumo scandal back in the 60s - just top notch, wonderful performance. Try to see it.
I mean, a father-son-relationship makes the kiss in season 6 very awkward
They really do have a Dom sub thing going on
Just realised what an amazing contestant Russell Howards’ mum would be on taskmaster and really really hope it happens now
This was brilliant.
Joanne Whalley was gorgeous in The Singing Detective and definitely a fascination for me after watching that the first time long ago. so gotta agree with Greg there
The fave noise question is amazing! Everybody has a fave noise and it's something to really think of! I have two....the sound of a bong bubbling(it's just a real soothing noise) and old school Lara croft saying "no". It's a fab "no"....it has the sass of "are you fucking serious trying this right now" mixed with "fuck off you pleb"
I think this is my favorite TM interview ever!
YAAAAA, was looking for something recent from these guys!
3:14 Russell asking the real questions
enjoyed! thank you
This was fantastic.
‘Sexual Fiction’ is a good band name 😂
so what hes saying is alexs favourite noise is silence and gregs is weird ice. nice
Very unexpected for a musician
@@Delinae it is rather 😂
0:35 HAHAHA i totally thought he said gay man instead of gamer, only realised it was wrong when alex said it
I love these two so much.
Greg just told a lot of great stories for Would I Lie To You
He always seems to have an unlimited number of hilarious and ridiculous stories.. him and Bob Mortimer!
Those were, when you think about it, some great questions. Over.
I’ve always just thought that their relationship was what they were, a boss and his subordinate
They are, but not the way round that you mean. Alex Horne is the gaffer
Judging by the clock behind Greg, they're going back in time halfway through.
Greg Davies seems like such a happy person 😊
I’m surprised that Greg’s favourite noise wasn’t one of the noises from his “Back of my Mum’s Head” tour.
Enjoy this so much.
Greg is just devine 💓
If you haven't seen "pants drunk" with his gorgeous self and Mr H go find it... Hilarious (with a big old dollop of bromance ❤️💓❤️)
I thought surely the celebrity crush question meant switching bodies Freaky Friday style, but bodies and heads is so much funnier 😂
The inflatable Jacuzzi story about drinking wine and watching over London..sounds like a great part 2 to get pantsdrunk with Greg Davies 😂😂😂
GREG DAVIES AND I HAVE THE SAME FAVOURITE NOISE! ICE CRACKING WHEN THEY DROP IN LIQUID!
Oh I love that too
My favorite sound is the sound of the roar of the TRex from Jurassic Park
This was great.
Hey Russel fancy hosting a special taskmater with Bob Mortimer as your side kick with Greg and Alex as contestants?
They really helped us getting through 2020.
Greg and Russell look like father and son.. Or grandfather and son. Alex is just some weird cousin or uncle.
so nice to hear that danish people still got it!
Lots of laughs!!! Thank you
Oh, the redhead from Willow! I can totally relate, Greg.
Fav noise would have to be the world serpants voice from God of war. Wish it could be replicated in real life just so cool
Yo, it's voice is so so cool
That was surprisingly fun!
I love Taskmaster!! Huge fan of all 3 here in the states. I love America but, Greg is so drop dead gorgeous and funny I’d leave all behind for him. I’m d just want to fly back a few times a year to see my kids. ❤️
I love Alex's wallpaper 😍
8:05 His American accent is so charming!!
This is amazing
Oh this was bloody brilliant 😂😂😂
Always quality content with your mates and your Mum .. .. ..
