Greg Davis has the most amazing face, if he frowns just a little he could totally be in Braveheart, or like a murderous viking raider, but when he smiles he becomes just a giant clown, it's absolutely uncanny
I'm not British, but I love Jon Snow. I imagine he's a very serious news reporter normally, but he has very good comedic timing when he does the pop song lyrics on Big Fat Quiz. We don't really have a news reporter like that here in America, someone who's able to let loose and be very silly like that. The closest we have in America is Anderson Cooper getting blitzed drunk on New Year's Eve, or Keith Olberman doing voice work on the TV show Bojack Horseman.
a lot of US comedians seem like they don't like being the butt of the joke, which is pretty much the entire premise of task master. making your failure/success/frustration funny rather than your wit or edgy observations
@@ohnoagremlin Yeah I was thinking about that the other day. Taskmaster works because it's an exercise in humility and humiliation (though there is of course room for wit too). We want to see these people doing ridiculous and, frequently, very embarrassing things. When the comedians approach the tasks with unbridled hubris we want to see them humbled - I get the sense that American bravado won't allow this. I've noticed it with American guests on British podcasts too; they get prickly, self-defensive and rude when invited to mock themselves. Canadians and antipodeans seem to be a more comfortable and natural fit for this.
How is the google profiting from one-liner sock puppets making comments? Plus more offensive ads! Maybe depoliticizing America's legal system would help? So: "A nonpartisan Justice may compel two recusals by junior partisan Justices." How about that idea?
Greg Davies realizing that he would have to explain that the string of words he said was 'that Jay-Z lyric' is what really makes it funnier for me.
That quick fire quote was so good. Not the first time I look back for this video because of it

😂😂 yes!!
.....How did I never see that before
His Rick Mayall face is amazing
from across the pond + a retired teacher I can imagine the faces he made for his students back in the day.
😁😁😁 precisely, as a teacher myself I can appreciate a good stern frown!
Gotta love David Mitchell. Extremely cutting and hilarious
I just re-watched most of this episode (including this bit of course) last night, heh. This was a great panel and an excellent episode. Nice upload!
I love how Rob sh*t talks Jimmy at every chance

Everytime I watch these I forget that he's a news reporter and I'm expecting to see Kit Harington
And here's Jon with the weather.
"Winter is coming. BACK TO YOU, TOM!"
Love this show. Thank you for uploading.
This is is close to an all star perfect panel
Who would you swap out for an all star team,
4:13 if you want to hear the joke.
I love these British panel comedy shows. Can't imagine this happening with US comedians. The US Taskmaster was terrible.
closest are radio shows like wait wait don't tell me

Americans are just too uptight, taking themselves way too seriously. Ironically, ripe for being the butt of jokes.
@@squidink3470 it’s a very dull American trait.
This is pure comedy gold!
I am so madly in love with Greg. He is my perfect guy. 🥰
The fact that Richard had the truest description of Kanye West, ‘Vulnerable….’ in 2015.
This should be titled "Jon Snow Dances To Drake"!
Luv this show
The old guy dancing was a delight. And the news guy, too.
I really, really, REALLY thought that David was the one who was going to rap Otis. Clickbait, but worth it.
This was a great lineup
Bad Dong
Thabks.
PLEASE SHOW CHRISTMAS 2022 YOU NEVER HAVE 😢
Jon Snow ate 🔥
bad dong!
I wonder if Jon Snow actually knows what a Backwoods is
why wouldent he?
@@dondog1278 you're right, he probably does smoke a lot of blunts
That’s not the John Snow I was expecting.
Damn Greg
"Greatest living rock star in the world" so he admits hes not the greatest of all time.
Is this the bad dong episode?
Yes. BFG 2015
Ahh 2015, the good old days when Kanye was only slightly insufferable.
Goes for many celebrities tbf

I thought there'd be a comment with an en-Tidal-ment joke, but perhaps I'm too early
I ❤ Claudia 😍
When Claudia reacts so boisterously vocally to the question or the answer, I can't help but wonder what she's like during sexy times...😅
I just realized what bothers me so much about Jo Brand: she's just the female version of a boomer "I hate my wife" comedian
Yeah I made that connection too. I choose to believe it's intentional for balance and to show how unfunny it is.
It's still unfunny though.
She writes wonderful comedy series.
I wish the answer to the accident woud have been: he slipped on a slip...
3:57
Unfortunate tattoo… looks as if she’s got massively long armpit hair.
fucking hell, Jo "every joke I tell has 'my husband' as a punch line" Brand
this really shows how bad daytime television is and how outdated its become how can people be that dry and sit through this garbage is beyond me lol
