The best version I ever saw of the "fiver under a pint" trick was a daughter trying to pull it on her dad. The dad says its impossible, she's glued them together. The daughter picks up the glass to show that it isn't and the dad snatches the note.
the "have the most fun and then recreate it" task reminds me so much of the task in season 4 (lolly, Noel, Joe, Hugh, Mel) where they were given different things to do (fill the bathtub with as much water as possible, fill the bathtub with as many objects as possible, cover the tub in cling film). you had the calm, competence of Mel&Desky and also Russell and Alice. and then the absolute HILARIOUS CHAOS of Noel, Lolly and Joe + Tim, Lisa, and Asim. idk I just needed to make this comparison because both tasks filled me with so much joy and laughter
I'm not sure if someone else has commented this before but I am calling the fact that Alice calling Alex different names at the start of every task is a task! It has to be- it's too consistent!
Its called that here in the States, too. If you can find an actual Yellow Pages, I believe it is a category near the front (obviously). That's actually how I learned about it - saw it in the phone book, looked it up in the dictionary (as in, an actual book). Yes, I am that old. 🤨

@@jhfh3112 nope im british and Ive always heard people call cream in a squirtable can 'squirty cream' which is weird when you think about it but thats what ive always known it as
"Like a blob of mayonaise that has dripped out of your sandwich onto your trousers. There to remain a nagging remainder to all the clumsy mistakes in life you ever made".. Wow chill Greg.. damn..
Liza Tarbuck is so good at tasks involving creating stories. Her piece about the broken woman was so heartbreaking and so realistic, I also liked the one with the spoiled sandwich, the stories themselves aren't very original but she is good at telling them.
I didn't get why everyone interpreted her "manly" task as her being a broken woman. Spouses do nice things for each other, such as bringing them snacks. There was nothing in her demeanor that suggested she was being treated as a servant, abused, or whatnot. Yes, it was a good interpretation of manliness by showing the "guy" lazing around watching TV, but that doesn't mean that she herself was "broken."
@@KelpTheGreat I don't think there is anyone who enjoys serving anyone like a butler, even loved ones, so doing it 24/7 while they lie around watching TV alone makes you lifeless. We like to make them happy, but if we do it 24/7 without anything in return (not even a look), it gets tiresome. Coach potatoes don't even look at you, that's why she was seen as a "broken" woman. Doing everything for nothing.
Nobody rolled the bill! I was waiting for it. For those who don't know, that beer task is generally done with a glass that is top heavy, if you try and shift the glass, it will fall over. So the trick is to roll up the bill against the glass, so that it will slowly slide out.
The repeated “That’s fun!” “FUN” screamed throughout the trios task like they are aliens attempting to replicate the human idea of fun is what makes it for me.
The handshake task is somehow the single best task on this show...like...can we just do that more? Anyways, I love this show, and I can’t wait to watch more next week!
Liza Tarbuck's Manly Cardboard Box was legitimately the most poignant and sad. Truly a worthy task win, and something to think about as we think about how to explain these things. You don't need to be didactic at all, it's just... once you see it, ya know? Just looking right at the thing is enough.
I thought it also made good contrast to Alice's on the nose hit, you over the head with it message. If you want to get through to people about inequality, make them feel empathy. Alice's message was just the equivalent of "old man yells at cloud", Liza's made you think AND feel.
I gotta admit, I relate to Asim so much sometimes. How Alex just roasted him and then patted him on the shoulder when Greg guessed it was him but Asim wasn't supposed to confirm. 😅 Totally been me there before.
@@marcarvermeulen another way i’ve heard to do it - tell the person next to you “i’ve moved it” (it being the fiver), and despite them protesting about being able to see it’s still under there, you say “no i know what it looks like, but i’ve done it” and have them pick up the pint, leaving it wide open for you to go “thanks!” and pick up the fiver
Alice and Russell did so well recreating their "fun" I missed the transition between tasks 3 times and 1 time I even went back in the video to the recreation thinking it was the first and got super confused.
I purposely delay watching this, saved it for rainy days. It turn out today is THAT gloomy day. I’m glad I could laugh out loud watching them do manly things in a box with the story of Bill & Kate provoking my thoughts.
It had never even occurred to me that calling it squirty cream could be weird 😅 Whipped cream for us is when you buy liquid cream and whip it yourself.
The box watching TV is my boyfriend envisioned as a cardboard box. He literally fell asleep in front of the TV and now I'm watching this and listening to him snore. 🤣
I've come to watch this after watching series 15 and I must say that seeing what Alex looked like back then compared to now has made me seriously consider how fast time passes and how each and every one of us, no matter how wealthy, no matter how good, will some day have different looking hair.

No, I'm English and would just say whipped cream or whip cream, I think they just said 'squirty cream' here for fun.
@@jhfh3112 nope im british and Ive always heard people call cream in a squirtable can 'squirty cream' which is weird when you think about it but thats what ive always known it as
I thought it was so odd that Alice called it that, and then it said it on the task too haha
We all got "spray cheese" here in the US... somehow that seems so much worse to me : )
Also a brit and I bloody love squirty cream
"Like a blob of mayonaise that has dripped out of your sandwich onto your trousers. There to remain a nagging remainder to all the clumsy mistakes in life you ever made"..
Wow chill Greg.. damn..
Asim deserves better!
I think Liza's lizard will be haunting my dreams tonight...
“...TESLAAAA” is maybe one of the best moments of this entire series
Liza Tarbuck is so good at tasks involving creating stories. Her piece about the broken woman was so heartbreaking and so realistic, I also liked the one with the spoiled sandwich, the stories themselves aren't very original but she is good at telling them.
I didn't get why everyone interpreted her "manly" task as her being a broken woman. Spouses do nice things for each other, such as bringing them snacks. There was nothing in her demeanor that suggested she was being treated as a servant, abused, or whatnot. Yes, it was a good interpretation of manliness by showing the "guy" lazing around watching TV, but that doesn't mean that she herself was "broken."
@@KelpTheGreat I don't think there is anyone who enjoys serving anyone like a butler, even loved ones, so doing it 24/7 while they lie around watching TV alone makes you lifeless. We like to make them happy, but if we do it 24/7 without anything in return (not even a look), it gets tiresome. Coach potatoes don't even look at you, that's why she was seen as a "broken" woman. Doing everything for nothing.
Half of the show I’m just amused at the British names for things “squirty cream” XD
I can not get enough of Greg Davis with a beard my God is he handsome
same thought here!
Nobody rolled the bill! I was waiting for it. For those who don't know, that beer task is generally done with a glass that is top heavy, if you try and shift the glass, it will fall over. So the trick is to roll up the bill against the glass, so that it will slowly slide out.
The repeated “That’s fun!” “FUN” screamed throughout the trios task like they are aliens attempting to replicate the human idea of fun is what makes it for me.
Did Russell confuse the prayer wheel they rotate to meditate with a fidget spinner or am I the one who got confused....
Are you telling me people don't meditate with fidget spinners? What about homemade slime? I know the cinnamon challenge is definitely part of it.
Exactly what I was thinking. There are some prayer wheel apps
I mean, you're making me think about it even more so I think he still wins lol
Maybe it was a prayer fidget spinner? Anyway, it is indeed thought provoking
Prayer wheels are cylinders tho, very different shape to a fidget spinner.....
oh, to be in a room where alice levine enters and greets me with a cute nickname
Oh to be in a room with Alice Levine
Oh to be in Alice Levine
Nah... just when you're about to get down to some romantic stuff with her, she starts going on about the gender pay gap and ruins the atmosphere.
"Hi cherub!"
What is this emotion I'm feeling
@@Gormfork Oh Alice Levine?
The chilling replay on Alice spilling a drop of her drink 😂
it'd be facinating to see them judge the art pieces without knowing who made them -- see if there's some bias in them
The handshake task is somehow the single best task on this show...like...can we just do that more? Anyways, I love this show, and I can’t wait to watch more next week!
They're getting more creative with the final task and I'm here for it.
The Buddhist monk was using an app where he spins a PRAYER WHEEL not a fidget spinner.
But when you think about it really really really hard, isn't a fidget spinner just another form of a prayer wheel?
Thought provoking, isn't it?
@@funguy170 Not unless you write Om Mani Padme Hum on the fidget spinner.
And yet that was still the deepest thing Russell had ever come out with.
It's a shame Frank Skinner wasn't in this season to see Tim Vine's artwork.
At least he knows the reason why the Queen has so many children...
Hearing about the "new" plastic £5 note caught me off guard, I forgot it's been nearly 4 years now since it changed
Okay it's time to talk about Tim's safari outfit. It is tremendous and it feels weird that no one has commented on it in the show.
Current mood: Alex getting genuinely startled when Greg screams “TESLAAAA” to the heavens
Task: Have fun.
Liza's first instinct: Wee! I'm going to the shed!
I wish Tim had said “it’s called her majesty the cream” and then “what do you mean, it’s a perfect picture of ‘er”
Liza Tarbuck's Manly Cardboard Box was legitimately the most poignant and sad. Truly a worthy task win, and something to think about as we think about how to explain these things. You don't need to be didactic at all, it's just... once you see it, ya know? Just looking right at the thing is enough.
I thought it also made good contrast to Alice's on the nose hit, you over the head with it message. If you want to get through to people about inequality, make them feel empathy. Alice's message was just the equivalent of "old man yells at cloud", Liza's made you think AND feel.
I gotta admit, I relate to Asim so much sometimes. How Alex just roasted him and then patted him on the shoulder when Greg guessed it was him but Asim wasn't supposed to confirm. 😅 Totally been me there before.
Alice: "Hi possums!"
Alex: "Sorry?"
Alice: "Don't be sorry"
7:44
Was it possums? I heard it as bosoms.
alice is just adorable
The fiver and the pint is an old bar trick, you roll up the fiver and it moves the beer off of it.
Whoa-stashing that away for when I need it!
@@marcarvermeulen another way i’ve heard to do it - tell the person next to you “i’ve moved it” (it being the fiver), and despite them protesting about being able to see it’s still under there, you say “no i know what it looks like, but i’ve done it” and have them pick up the pint, leaving it wide open for you to go “thanks!” and pick up the fiver
That tastes like truancy bruh that’s the funniest thing I’ve heard in a long time
So, do Russell’s shoes come off in every episode?
Alice and Russell did so well recreating their "fun" I missed the transition between tasks 3 times and 1 time I even went back in the video to the recreation thinking it was the first and got super confused.
I purposely delay watching this, saved it for rainy days. It turn out today is THAT gloomy day. I’m glad I could laugh out loud watching them do manly things in a box with the story of Bill & Kate provoking my thoughts.
Today I learned that in Britain, what I would call "whipped cream" they call "squirty cream" which I think is pretty cursed
It had never even occurred to me that calling it squirty cream could be weird 😅 Whipped cream for us is when you buy liquid cream and whip it yourself.
As an American, who 100% realizes we have VERY weird names for some things, I love this comment 😂
My life would be vastly improved by Alice Levine, even just once, walking through my door to greet me “Hi Cherub!”
In a different episode, I loved how she said "Hi possum!"
me to
The box watching TV is my boyfriend envisioned as a cardboard box. He literally fell asleep in front of the TV and now I'm watching this and listening to him snore. 🤣
id forgotten how much i love alice's "dont be sorry"' the delivery is just simply perfect
I really liked Asims climate art tho- it shouldn’t have been 5th
Ok Alice obviously has a secret task by how she gives Alex a different sweetheart name each time she sees him
Or maybe its alphabet based... idk. She has a task about calling Alex something though
i think it's that she has to greet him with a word that starts with the letter b
@Ananno Myss - I was totally thinking this during this episode too!
@@FlyAwaySongbird I thought that too but she called him cherub so that threw the B word idea out
I watch this show at night with my wife and baby asleep and I laughed out loud when Russell threw his shoe at the ground
Russell getting Alice wine was heartwarming
They're all there wearing like black, navy, gray. And then there's Alice in a floral print dress.
alice would look good in a binliner
I'm leaving for basic training at the end of the month, and this show is one of the things I'll miss most
Danm bro
😞
Good luck! Best advice, keep your head down and try not to stand out to instructors.
its not gone forever J. you'll more down time than you will be comfortable with
Best of luck! I think you’re allowed an iPad after basic, and the show will still be here for you. 👍🏼❤️✌🏼
All the best!
I love how Tim is standing shirtless in the box and the same red car drives through at least 3 of the cut-scenes. :)
I've come to watch this after watching series 15 and I must say that seeing what Alex looked like back then compared to now has made me seriously consider how fast time passes and how each and every one of us, no matter how wealthy, no matter how good, will some day have different looking hair.
