Excellent 1-2 here. Rhod's face was fully in his lap, and they touched naked bodies. Neither bothered him like a passing glance from a lady. I feel understood.
@@Aldaris1234567 I think Alex might be closer to Alex Admin than Greg is to the Taskmaster, probably. I think Greg goes into teacher mode but I'm guessing teachers are only like that temporarily, as a sort of survival mechanism.
Saw a comment somewhere saying that Ed having absolutely zero awkwardness around the whole bradmin situation is a prime example of a man raised by a single mum, and while I can only go off experiences in my own life, I'd say that's 100% true 😂
The pride I felt when my 10 year old brother asked our mum in all sincerity if she'd remembered her glasses and tampons before we went out for the evening 😭😂
Haha, now that is relatable. Having grown up with a mum and two sisters it still baffles me every time other men pull a face at the mere mention of lady's toiletries.
Gamble knew exactly how to stoke the fires in series 9. He found the exact way to make Little A. Horne uncomfortable every time and bradmin was just the cherry on top.
@@IsthisastepI've heard a lot of people complain about Katherine Ryan over the years, saying she's not at all funny and that. I genuinely don't get it, she's one of my favourite comics going round "the circuit". Also love how her and Jimmy Carr pay each other, and themselves, out constantly for the amount of cosmetic surgery they've each had.
I think it's a mix of being born like it, it probably being reinforced by his upbringing, but then absolutely leaning into it for the show haha It's been brought up by multiple different mates of his that he is genuinely awkward and flustered around things like this so there's definitely an element of truth
He's definitely naturally awkward, but also knows how to exaggerate for comic effect. As the series' went on, he might have gotten a bit more used to it, but I always felt that with the mask-eating task with Katherine Ryan... I don't think he's putting _any_ of that awkwardness on whatsoever. He looked so genuinely uncomfortable with that one
He's from a family of three boys and his best friends growing up were two other boys who were each also from a family of three boys. He then attended a boarding school as a kid where he would have lived with like 50 other boys for the better part of at least five years. He himself has three sons, and he's been with his wife since like his early twenties. I absolutely think he's uncomfortable around women because apart from his mom, he was never around them when he was young!
this was so funny, very nice compilation. xDDD (and didn't he but rose's bra on top of greg's painting at the end? I don't think we've seen him do it, but it magically appears there, I think? lololol)
Haha yeah after Greg tells Alex to put the bra down Ed asks him to hang it on the portrait coz he wants it to look like they've had a crazy night 😂 Would've included it too but had to cut the clip down a bit due to copyright!
@@Hendrixium I think it was an uncomfortable moment that Alice absolutely delighted in making even more uncomfortable each time as punishment for him being such a naughty boy
@Vtarngpb tbh watching the clips, Alex seems baffled by Lucy more than anything, and with Sally he's too busy having cake shoved up his armpits or being birthed to act awkward (imo anyway!)
Funnier when you know that he's the one in charge. He chooses the tasks, and OKs everything that happens. So if it's true that he's not entirely faking the embarassement, then he's either a bit of a masochist or he just knows just how hilarious it is and is willing to sacrifice himself.
Alex was deeply into all of those scenes, but like the most skilled perverts, pretended to NOT be into it, and deeply uncomfortable so that the other person is more likely to lean into the encounter. And people going forward are more likely to try to, "Make him uncomfortable', for the laughs. He didn't go for the lips because he thought he couldn't make himself appear not into that, so best to protect the persona of not being into it, than being outed as the closet pervert he actually is.
When someone states an opinion as if it were a fact, it is referred to as "asserting" or "making an unsupported assertion". In logical and critical thinking, it can also be considered a "false assertion" or "fact-claim fallacy", especially if the opinion is presented without supporting evidence. This type of statement can also fall under the broader category of a "rhetorical fallacy" or "misrepresentation."
@@creatinker you mean like you just did? It's obvious to anyone with a cognitive function stack that includes Extroverted Feeling, and Extroverted Sensing. For more information look up Dr. Carl Jung's cognitive functions, Dr.John Bebe's 8 function model, Dr. Linda Berens interaction styles, and Dr. Sigmund Freud's 4 sides of the mind (also Platos 4 humours); pedant. Alex is an INFJ cognitive type, his virtue is integrity his vice is hypocrisy, his primary failing is Lust, and he wrote the challenges knowing these would be potential outcomes. Just because you're woefully unlearned in a thing doesn't make it made up. Try watching "The Behaviour Panel", you'll find people's actions, and emotional expressions, including the hidden ones, far less mysterious.
Wow if what you put Alex through was done to a woman it would be called inappropriate. But then again people in the public eye are so lacking in awareness of people who are less confident or reserved than fame chasing narcissists
It helps if you know he's in charge. He chooses all the tasks, and he OKs everything that happens. So he's either a masochist or he'd rather be funny than comfortable.
He created the show and comes up with a lot of the tasks. He is also at least somewhat putting on a character, same as Greg Davies. It’s likely he is somewhat awkward and there’s definitely times he’s uncomfortable, but if it ever got to a point where he genuinely was too uncomfortable it would stop. He’s willing to go through some embarrassment for the sake of comedy.
Eh, yeah usually pretty polite to ignore/not comment on stuff like that. It’s like not commenting on an obvious toupee/wig covering a bald spot or wonky veneers covering bad teeth. It’s clearly something they’re insecure about and it doesn’t really help to point it out.
I would say it is part of the social contract not to bring up things that have nothing to do with anything in the comments section of a Taskmaster compilation
The man looked more comfortable being tortured by Rhod on multiple occasions...
Wouldn't even raise his heart rate for the man
Excellent 1-2 here. Rhod's face was fully in his lap, and they touched naked bodies. Neither bothered him like a passing glance from a lady.
I feel understood.
Alex’s commitment to his character is honestly the best bit of this show
"Character"
I don’t think it’s all character.
@@rosestar7078 ofc not but he definitely plays into it as much as he can
Same as Gregg really.

9:08 love how jo brand said "im not wearing a bra" and david baddiel said "im wearing a bra" at the exact same time 😂
Even though they changed the teams for that task, David and Jo still felt like teammates in that moment
@@iliketrains3495 Ha yeah - they both had an instant impulse to be awkward. 😊

Ed? Bradmin? can you explain please
oh nevermind, is at the end 9:25
he's also incredibly extraverted
Alex's 'totally cool with holding these bras' poses are brilliant.
Love how he gets the cameraman with the miracle joke
Gamble knew exactly how to stoke the fires in series 9. He found the exact way to make Little A. Horne uncomfortable every time and bradmin was just the cherry on top.
i think about Katherine Ryan's gender comment very often
I always say Katy's one liners are underrated but Katherine also has some of the best too I think... _"I chaaaanged it!"_
@@Isthisastep Combine the two:
"What's your gender?"
Greg: "... Male"
"Not anymore... I chaaanged it!"

Been waiting for bradmin for the whole video
It was between that and the nudie lady pen for the last clip but bradmin won due to Greg’s last line haha
Alex has committed to this character for so long I can't tell who "real alex" is anymore.
I saw him at the Horne Section last Sunday and I totally agree. It’s even harder in person lol
@eggchomp legit it took me multiple seasons to realize Alex and Greg weren't actually together lol
"Oh you have taken off your clothes" 🤣
This is my new favourite video, it is truly awful.
(You are such a good one)
do you think he's like this naturally or do you think the fear is learnt
I think it's a mix of being born like it, it probably being reinforced by his upbringing, but then absolutely leaning into it for the show haha
It's been brought up by multiple different mates of his that he is genuinely awkward and flustered around things like this so there's definitely an element of truth
Nature vs. Nurture is quite the debate! However in this case, I think acting is the main point.
He's definitely naturally awkward, but also knows how to exaggerate for comic effect. As the series' went on, he might have gotten a bit more used to it, but I always felt that with the mask-eating task with Katherine Ryan... I don't think he's putting _any_ of that awkwardness on whatsoever. He looked so genuinely uncomfortable with that one
@@Bman1878 The mask thing was pretty fucked up though to be fair.

"Where I'm from, Alex, this is we call elegant." (c) Aisling Bea, famous last words.
I think it's okay for him to be awkward while eating food off someone's face!
3:35 Even the cameraman can't hold their laughter 🤭
5:41 that was not the taskmaster whistle, that was Alex's rape whistle
this was so funny, very nice compilation. xDDD (and didn't he but rose's bra on top of greg's painting at the end? I don't think we've seen him do it, but it magically appears there, I think? lololol)

Felt so sorry for him with the Alice Levine slip of the rosette. He clearly felt so uncomfortable, and so was she. Uncomfortable all round.
@@Hendrixium I think it was an uncomfortable moment that Alice absolutely delighted in making even more uncomfortable each time as punishment for him being such a naughty boy
@@Isthisastep agreed. Alice is very good friends with Alex and his wife outside the show. I’m almost certain she was “punishing” him.
@@jamesbartholomew1481oh yea, his PIN number 😂
They were all getting the Horne.
10 min of Alex Horne being sexually harassed lol
@YurikRoss if it were that I would've had Sally in here haha

To be perfectly fair to Alex: "that gender" isn't making it easy for him most of the time
Think he was happy enough when Joanne McNally was with him.
Alex was deeply into all of those scenes, but like the most skilled perverts, pretended to NOT be into it, and deeply uncomfortable so that the other person is more likely to lean into the encounter.
