This afternoon I talked to a coworker about taskmaster. Apparently he too is a big fan of the show and a bigger one than myself in some sense since he's watched series 9 as well, the only season I haven't been able to watch as they've not uploaded it yet on Youtube.
I mean yes I've watched many of the episodes twice thrice even maybe, I follow the accompanying podcast as well as standups of the comedians who've appeared in the series but my lack of interest in following up the hidden season reveals quite a bit about me. I'm a casual fan, not a hardcore one, not the kind to go out of one's way to the point of piracy in order to watch an unreleased series.
Yes, I need to get a life beyond taskmaster
For the past two months I've been absolutely obsessed with it, watching it day and night, the podcast as well, and then rewinding back, poring over the special tasks, the collections on youtube, reading the comments for analyses and so much more. This is the only show I've recommended to everyone around in a long while. What a co-inkydink.
Watch anything that's not sped-up panel show hosted by the headmaster from inbetweeners.
Eight out of ten cats does countdown is what ST suggested, and what coworker GF suggested as well. Also FOTH I, but Jimmy Carr doesn't have the charisma of Greg you know?
Travel man, featuring Richard Ayode is another show everybody's been recommending me, that's next on my watchlist. If only they'd put it for free online. With my crappy chromebook I won't be getting too far with the piracy activities that's for sure.
Reminder that we've only been talking about British comedy shows. If there's one goddamn thing the Brits have going on for themselves, it's their comedy that I'll give.
Not much more though.
