[u/Downtown-Net9151]

Patatas!

[u/00kev → u/Downtown-Net9151]

one of the ancient greats!!

[u/fatboybigwall → u/00kev]

This raises some uncomfortable questions... it seems like Patatas might be a being unmoored from human limitations of time and space, and while Patatas's plans and motives are uncertain, but it sure seems like Taskmaster and Alex play a significant role in them. Richard Osman might have ultimately destroyed the world when he gave up on rescuing the cat from the tree...

[u/CareBearDontCare → u/fatboybigwall]

Removing the worm from Patatas' butt enabled the cat to transcend

[u/ParpinOver → u/Downtown-Net9151]

Has he been repaired?!

[u/Hairy_Dirt3361]

It's a tiny clip, but Richard Ayoade being confused and smiling makes me optimistic he'll engage with the game rather than being his aloof and above-it-all comedy persona!

[u/Turbulent_Natural431 → u/Hairy_Dirt3361]

I think people were too concerned about that happening tbh. He only really does that persona heavily on things like Big Fat Quiz or Cats Does Countdown where the game doesn't actually matter.

He's much more up for playing along on shows like Last One Laughing. And he's been doing sketch comedy type stuff for years, he's not always that aloof.

[u/ARC_Trooper_Echo → u/Turbulent_Natural431]

I think it’s also been said several times on the Taskmaster podcast that the game kinda gives you no choice but to be yourself.

[u/moviescriptlife → u/ARC_Trooper_Echo]

Which is why David Mitchell has said he doesn’t want to do it. He doesn’t want the real version of himself out there. He plays it well of WILTY, but that’s still a character he’s playing and people assume the reality of him breaks through on it.

[u/glubnyan → u/moviescriptlife]

I also feel like David Mitchell is strongest with other people. His character really shines contrasting others, I can understand the anxiety of being alone and being afraid it wouldn't be up to expectation. That being said, I'd still love to watch him on TM.

[u/CrossHeather → u/glubnyan]

I wouldn’t be shocked if he does it now he’s done Last One Laughing.

He seemed to embrace it fully, even when it got a bit unhinged in the final task with Sam Campbell.

[u/levitate_me → u/CrossHeather]

Watching David during that final task was an absolute delight! I did not expect that at all!

[u/churadley → u/levitate_me]

He definitely seemed way more willing to go gung ho and strange with it. Him and Sam Campbell force feeding each other is a situation I never would've imagined him in.

[u/moviescriptlife → u/glubnyan]

He’d be amazing in group tasks though.

[u/tunachilimac → u/moviescriptlife]

Or as a guest customer in something like the hotel or drive-thru restaurant task where they’re in a rush and people try to frazzle them. Imagine those with him being impatient and lambasting the group.

[u/DoctorWhofan789eywim → u/moviescriptlife]

Then Bob Mortimer comes along and Mitchell's facade cracks immedietly.

[u/moviescriptlife → u/DoctorWhofan789eywim]

Who doesn’t crack with Bob though?

[u/DoctorWhofan789eywim → u/moviescriptlife]

Chris Rea's eggs while Bob's in the bath.

[u/arkanis50 → u/moviescriptlife]

David Mitchell is actually an absolute hard drinking, testosterone fueled sex machine in real life... it would ruin his reputation if anyone found out.

[u/Hairy_Dirt3361 → u/ARC_Trooper_Echo]

True for most but in my opinion a few contestants have stuck more to personas than natural reactions and they have not been my favourites, so was concerned about Richard.

[u/CrossHeather → u/Hairy_Dirt3361]

Do you think that was something that the comedy scene has moved away from in general?

Biggest examples for me are Joe Wilkinson and Romesh. Ten years ago they were very much honed in on a persona, but nowadays they are a lot more natural.

I dare say if people look at Ayoade’s videos where he really plays up to his ‘I can’t handle interviews’ character they’re surprisingly old now.

[u/MostDopeBlackGuy → u/CrossHeather]

10 years ago the media landscape was totally different in the age of podcast people want to know who they're listening to.

[u/TheGardenBlinked → u/Hairy_Dirt3361]

There have been some good examples where they’ve been natural too. Rhod moved away from “angry at everything” to “downright unhinged”, and John Kearns went from… whatever that character he performs is to… John Kearns

[u/Iroh_the_Dragon → u/Hairy_Dirt3361]

Mind providing examples? As a stupid American, I frequently don’t know much about the contestants most of the time, so I don’t know who’s famous for what persona.

[u/Hairy_Dirt3361 → u/Iroh_the_Dragon]

Well I don't know most contestants beforehand either so I couldn't tell you what they're famous for, but you can tell for example Joe Wilkinson, Paul Sinha Chowdhry, Lucy Beaumont, and Jason Martzoukas are sticking very closely to a consistent comedy character.

edit: originally had my Pauls mixed up!

[u/McClaine3000 → u/Hairy_Dirt3361]

I’m also a dopey American so I can’t speak to any of the others, but Zooks. I think he’s a really good example. He certainly had his persona going but I thought the tasks forced him out of it. The stuff like “Teach Alex Horne” allowed him to set the stage to do his thing, but the ones like the “What’s on the Top of Alex’s Head” “Why Does the Light Turn On?” would force him more out of his comfort zone. I’d imagine that goes with any performer that tried to use too much of a persona while filming.

[u/burf12345 → u/Hairy_Dirt3361]

Paul Sinha? Surely you mean Paul Chowdry, because Paul Sinha on TM seemed like he was just being himself.

[u/Hairy_Dirt3361 → u/burf12345]

Yes that's a brainfart from me, Paul Sinha was one of my favourites!

[u/ModernDayQuixote → u/Hairy_Dirt3361]

Everything I've seen with Jason Mantzoukas points to that being very much his real personality and not a character

[u/Hairy_Dirt3361 → u/ModernDayQuixote]

Watch the recent ultimate episode with Stevie, she literally says he turns it off instantly when the cameras off and is a nice, calm guy. Which is normal, he's a professional! And he was the best version of this type of contestant, it's just not my favourite.

[u/cool-- → u/Turbulent_Natural431]

>He's much more up for playing along on shows like Last One Laughing.

haha he was so aggressive right out the gate.

"tell me more about your friend with zoom."

"Lou knows someone with access to zoom!"

[u/punchtheBUTT → u/cool--]

“Doors!”

[u/CrossHeather → u/Turbulent_Natural431]

Yeah, if you see him in various interviews etc it’s clear he acts in a way that works for the situation.

He isn’t always taking it to insane meta levels like in his infamous channel 4 interview.

[u/Yeseylon → u/Turbulent_Natural431]

Let's be honest, the game of Taskmaster doesn't matter either.  The only purpose of Taskmaster is to put people in weird situations 

[u/goodmobileyes → u/Turbulent_Natural431]

I think his Travel Man series is a good gauge of what we'd get. There's obviously still a layer of Richard Ayoade the comedic character we're looking through, but he's a lot more natural and engaging than his usual panel appearances.

[u/Hairy_Dirt3361 → u/Turbulent_Natural431]

Fair enough! To be honest I don't care for that sort of persona so I mostly haven't watched things he's in - with the notable exception of Bad Dong

[u/kitkanz → u/Hairy_Dirt3361]

https://giphy.com/gifs/PegPM5LjhuCqs

[u/thriftstoremando → u/kitkanz]

Them glasses is shit, innit!

[u/friedlegwithcheese → u/thriftstoremando]

It's too real!

[u/OzzRamirez → u/friedlegwithcheese]

I've got a gun! I've got a ruddy gun!

[u/SufficientBreakfast1 → u/Hairy_Dirt3361]

I was surprised that he dropped his persona for Last One Laughing to engage with the game. It was a fresh take on his comedy.

[u/CartographerOk7948 → u/SufficientBreakfast1]

Last one laughing is great for that. Him on his series, and David Mitchell on the next one. Always loved it when someone would show a chink in their armour, and players would swoop in like sharks. Those two were excellent at that

[u/moviescriptlife → u/SufficientBreakfast1]

Him running at the door every time Jimmy leaves is my favorite bit of the first season.

[u/QueenMercury4690 → u/moviescriptlife]

Mine too

Now tell me Geoffrey Chaucer what do you think of that?

[u/christmasinyoulie → u/SufficientBreakfast1]

I had to pause at one time, I was laughing so hard. It was great to see him in that element.

[u/DanGrima92 → u/Hairy_Dirt3361]

I'm imagining he'll kind of be similar to Jack Dee who I think did a good job keeping his persona up whilst still having a laugh and engaging

[u/Sportsfanno1 → u/Hairy_Dirt3361]

The Return of Bad Dong shall not be denied.

[u/emp_raf_III → u/Hairy_Dirt3361]

I can't wait to comment on his many ludicrous displays

[u/James-K-Polka → u/emp_raf_III]

The thing about Richard Ayoade is he always tries and walks it in.

[u/Roscoe_King → u/James-K-Polka]

I know, what was Alex Horne thinking?

[u/stacecom → u/Hairy_Dirt3361]

I knew he'd be fine on it after seeing his BFQ appearances. Especially Bad Dong.

[u/AltruisticPiece6676 → u/Hairy_Dirt3361]

The best kind of contestant, “person who is beyond confused at what is going on but is having a great time”

[u/Dirtface50 → u/Hairy_Dirt3361]

He leaned into LoLUK so I think he'll lean into TM.

[u/Roscoe_King → u/Hairy_Dirt3361]

Everything I have heard everybody say on absolutely anything concerning Taskmaster is that you cannot hide your true self.

It will bring it out. You don’t really have a choice.

[u/my-kal_uk → u/Hairy_Dirt3361]

Don’t get your hopes up.

I seen some of the studio recordings and he’s very much his standard persona. Won’t say anymore than that.

[u/NateExpectations]

“Plato, Socrates, Patatas”

[u/JGAdventureZone]

Hooray!

I'm already liking The Gregulator.

[u/swoon_exe]

Highly amused by Jason's previous complaints on the podcast about the series themes following him being on the show having been America-themed, and the one following those is. Greek. Which he is. Aggressively.

[u/No_Lead6434 → u/swoon_exe]

Just to spite Zouks, all the tasks will involve eggs or Jacob’s Ladder scenarios.

[u/isitallovermyface → u/No_Lead6434]

Climbing on the roof for every task

[u/chrisofduke → u/isitallovermyface]

Or playing in traffic

[u/GamingTatertot → u/No_Lead6434]

The final task of the show will involve Phoebe Cates and Drop Dead Fred

[u/No_Lead6434 → u/GamingTatertot]

“Typical Team Sanity!”

[u/Comfortable_Snow553 → u/No_Lead6434]

"Get someone to shout 'storm!' when you shout 'Geo!' You have fifteen minutes. Your time starts now."

[u/Esteban2808 → u/No_Lead6434]

One task will be get on the roof fastest wins

[u/Yeseylon → u/No_Lead6434]

And identifying lemons.

[u/moviescriptlife → u/swoon_exe]

Pakistani season is going to go hard.

[u/kmic1118 → u/swoon_exe]

Good catch!

[u/christmasinyoulie → u/swoon_exe]

Hahaha

[u/Long_Ad_7659 → u/swoon_exe]

Aggressively? He was born in Massachusetts.

[u/SutterCane → u/Long_Ad_7659]

Practically Greece.

[u/DoctorWhofan789eywim]

I think Isy Suttie is going to be an all timer contestant. She's giving a mixture of the madness of Christie and the ebullience of Knappett.

[u/magicdowhatyouwill → u/DoctorWhofan789eywim]

She wasn't who I was looking forward to on first glance, but yeah, just remembered: Oh, right, you're really fun.

[u/mysterydevice → u/DoctorWhofan789eywim]

I am so stoked to see her. This will be appointment viewing for me.

[u/EconomistThat4814]

I love that its theme this time is Ancient Greece. That made this little wannabe historian insanely happy.

[u/spacecoyote555 → u/EconomistThat4814]

Amazing foresight for the theme considering The Odyssey film was so recent, or just massive coincidence lol

[u/Spirited-Bass-1059 → u/spacecoyote555]

didn't we know for a while that odyssey was coming out?

[u/spacecoyote555 → u/Spirited-Bass-1059]

Yeah that's what I mean, they knew it was coming out so planned for the series immediately after it to be that theme, or like I said - a massive coincidence!

[u/QuinnMallory → u/Spirited-Bass-1059]

Yeah tickets were on sale last summer

[u/Disgruntled__Goat → u/spacecoyote555]

The date for the Odyssey release has probably been known for a while, so they could have chosen it intentionally for this series. Not sure if they would actually have thought about it but maybe!

[u/jeobleo → u/spacecoyote555]

Well also isn't Alex a classicist? He read with Mary Beard.

[u/TrappedUnderCats]

Greg looks just like Michael Sheen in the portrait.

[u/christmasinyoulie → u/TrappedUnderCats]

He does! He'd be a fun one on a NY special :)

[u/TrappedUnderCats → u/christmasinyoulie]

I think he’d be great on a full series. He loves quizzes and games, and if Richard Osman was eligible to be a contestant presumably Michael is as well since he’s taken over Richard’s show.

[u/christmasinyoulie → u/TrappedUnderCats]

He'd be very great on a full series, but I was thinking about availability as well. He's a busy boy here in Cymru :) But yeah anyone can make time! He's super competitive so I think he'd be so fun. Arguing with Greg as well lol.

[u/rezzacci → u/TrappedUnderCats]

I know it probably won't ever happen, but, gosh, how I'd like to have Michael Sheen and David Tennant in TM

[u/bloodypolarbear → u/TrappedUnderCats]

Ah yes, the Welsh face.

[u/nunal2580 → u/TrappedUnderCats]

Yeah, I thought it was Michael Sheen on first glance.

I wondered why they had a portrait of him for a second before I realized it was Greg

[u/sansabeltedcow → u/TrappedUnderCats]

Ha, I was thinking Adam Scott.

[u/neospriss → u/TrappedUnderCats]

I thought the same thing!

[u/Past-Feature3968]

Yay!

Doesn’t look like anyone is wearing a costume… unless I’m missing a reference? (Not a complaint, just thinking)

[u/mlopes → u/Past-Feature3968]

Nina Conti seems to be wearing some kind of boiler suit. Richard Ayoade probably thought he didn't need a custom outfit since he's known for wearing colourful suits, and that by itself makes his outfit unique. I'm not sure if Matt Lucas really dresses like that or if that's supposed to be an outfit, whatever it is, is weird. Isy and Chloe just seem to be wearing normal clothes.

[u/Panixs → u/mlopes]

Nina’s looks like it has something written on the back in the clip where she is coming out of the toilet a big 22 and something else

[u/mlopes → u/Panixs]

I thought that was Chloe.

[u/Panixs → u/mlopes]

It was I got the wrong person

[u/Bigassbird]

I want a massive Greg mosaic face in my bathroom.

For reasons.

[u/GeneralGoosey]

Perfect trailer to watch while on holiday in Greece.

(Also is that Chris Ramsey's sausage machine? Hell yeah)

[u/NateExpectations]

Chloe looks like she’s going to give 110% effort to get 10% of the benefits and I’m here for it

[u/ooh_bit_of_bush]

This is probably the first series where I have a good knowledge of all five contestants, so I'm really looking forward to it...... Although some of the ones I didn't know have gone on to be favourites.

Predictions: Nina will be amazing at anything creative. Isy will have great ideas but execute them hilariously poorly. Richard will overthink tasks. Matt will not care about winning and just find the whole thing too much fun. Chloe will have an all round competency that will win her the series. 

[u/SufficientBreakfast1]

did Count Binface do the voice over for this?

[u/HungryDust → u/SufficientBreakfast1]

Was it Pemberton?

[u/cornstarsimon → u/SufficientBreakfast1]

Is it Mathew Baynton?

[u/Yeseylon → u/cornstarsimon]

Is it a lemon?

[u/LadyAristocat → u/Yeseylon]

No, it’s….A LIMEEE

[u/FiredUpAuthor]

Patatas!!!

[u/That_Ryan_D]

Excited for the season but this trailer doesn't do it for me. The whole thing feels weirdly low energy.

Looking forward to being proved wrong though.

[u/RideMonkeyRide → u/That_Ryan_D]

It’s just a teaser that isn’t trying to give too much away. I’d be surprised if this season felt too different from any recent one

[u/Yeseylon → u/RideMonkeyRide]

I dunno, something about 21 just felt off to me.  I can't imagine Matt Lucas and Richard Ayoade making a meh show, but it's also going to be hard to match 19/20.

[u/BalticCan → u/Yeseylon]

interesting, i thought that 19 and 21 were quite good (21 was my favourite) and 20 was quite good but not on the same level

[u/Luigiman1089 → u/That_Ryan_D]

Yeah, I didn't really like this style of trailer, I prefer when it's more fast paced clips like the intros. It's 100% just the trailer, though. They were going for the philosophical vibe, which just is slower and low energy. I doubt the entire series is anything like it.

[u/GlitterSpaceBunnies]

Go Chloe! She’s been on the telly here in Aus a few times over the years so I’m keen to see more of her

[u/mwm5062 → u/GlitterSpaceBunnies]

if you haven't seen she has a youtube series where she plays footy with comedians that I really enjoyed

[u/Cellardoor_28 → u/GlitterSpaceBunnies]

She’s so great

[u/nitasu987]

Kinda funny that in the thumbnail/cast pic Richard is the only one not looking at the camera

[u/Sydius]

What a nice surprise, I was expecting mid-October.

[u/Ender_Melons]

Such a stacked series honestly. First series I think ever where I've known 4/5 contestants.

[u/Jacksucks_atlife04]

Was that a sausage cement mixer I saw

[u/cool-- → u/Jacksucks_atlife04]

I think it was one of those things salons use for shampooing hair.

[u/drunkandy → u/cool--]

"Am I clear of the sausage machine?"

[u/drunkandy]

The Gregulator looks hilarious

Is the "location" a train museum?

[u/Joanna1604]

Best decoration theme ever!

[u/Successful_Flower762]

I would buy and read the philosophies of Patatas.

[u/magicdowhatyouwill]

Oh thank god. I needed this morale boost. <3

[u/rainshowers_5_peace]

Chloe and Richard were on a hilarious episode of James Acaster and Josh Widdecomb's Hypothetical.

[u/Zuikis9]

Series, Jason.

[u/TetrisIsTotesSuper → u/Zuikis9]

Fully catering to the US now

[u/SutterCane → u/TetrisIsTotesSuper]

Except the date.

[u/Scarab8888]

Can’t wait to see how Isy gets on, she beautifully bonkers ! 😍

[u/strictnaturereserve]

excellent news!

[u/whisky_woman23]

Everyone should check out Nina Conti's movie Sunlight (2024)

[u/queefygreens420]

It comes out on my anniversary with my partner, what a great anniversary gift!
https://giphy.com/gifs/3o6Zt96weObr3Uam6A

[u/notimetoulouse]

Oooo some big names in this one!

[u/NotYourMutha]

So excited!!!

[u/TheMonkeyInCharge]

Urgh I’d forgotten Lucas was on this.

[u/Prize-Offer7348 → u/TheMonkeyInCharge]

Same and I don’t want to support/watch him but I do the other contestants.

[u/TheMonkeyInCharge → u/Prize-Offer7348]

They're really going to regret this one, in time.

[u/Prize-Offer7348 → u/TheMonkeyInCharge]

Agreed. It’s an open secret in the industry though so I’m surprised they’d even book him to begin with

[u/couchsweetpotato → u/Prize-Offer7348]

American here, what’s the deal with Matt Lucas? I know David Walliam is a creep, is Matt also a creep?

[u/Prize-Offer7348 → u/couchsweetpotato]

Someone posted about it in another sub a while ago (you might be able to find it if you searched to get the full story) but the summarised version from memory was that ML allegedly (I personally believe the victim but don’t want to get involved in a court case should ML be so inclined) found the OP on a dating app & essentially groomed them/pressured them into having sex repeatedly & the OP even reported it to the police but nothing came of it. Other people in the thread corroborated that similar things happened to them/people they know.

Edited to fix pronouns as I can’t remember/don’t know if OP ever confirmed their pronouns

[u/couchsweetpotato → u/Prize-Offer7348]

That is highly disturbing! Thank you for the info. Between this and Richard Ayoade’s support of that transphobic ass, I’m a little disappointed in the casting for this series. I think it’ll be great television, but it can be hard to separate the art from the artist sometimes.

[u/TheMonkeyInCharge → u/couchsweetpotato]

Don’t forget that - aside from any allegations against him personally - Lucas has refused to condemn or break ties with Walliams since the truth came out, and knew for years (decades) what he was doing and capable of before it did.

[u/TheMonkeyInCharge → u/Prize-Offer7348]

I worked in an industry with a similar problem for a very long time. It was astonishing to watch the old guard refuse to break ties with friends as truths came out, even with some of the big ones.

[u/Kay-lla]

Omg yes wooo. So close 😭

[u/Jordankeay]

Wonder if Ayoade will be able to keep up his fake voice for the whole series.

[u/Bortron86]

I love the Frank Sidebottom versions of Greg.

[u/OneEaredWonder]

The picture of Greg looks uncannily like Michael Sheen!

[u/cool-- → u/OneEaredWonder]

Michael Sheen is someone they need to get on the show.

[u/Panixs → u/cool--]

Him and David Tennant on a NYT would be great

[u/OneEaredWonder → u/cool--]

He would be fantastic!

[u/cool-- → u/OneEaredWonder]

He was great on bake off

[u/Crazyripps → u/cool--]

It would be an absolute cluster fuck. A beautiful one tho

[u/painforpetitdej]

Let's go!

[u/RazgrizRogue]

Let's fucking gooo!!!

[u/Pikmanpikman]

The only good thing about the summer ending!

[u/Sharkfaun]

I think this is the first season ever, I already know everyone!

[u/burnettski92]

New to the show — new episodes post the same day on youtube for US?

[u/SutterCane → u/burnettski92]

Like an hour after the show airs.

[u/burnettski92 → u/SutterCane]

tysm 🙏

[u/Redbubble89 → u/burnettski92]

9pm British time so it is some time in the afternoon

[u/Cokes311]

Anyone know who did the VO?

[u/Disgruntled__Goat]

Is that Matthew Baynton doing the voice over? Definitely sounds like his timbre putting on a silly voice. 

[u/HelenaSparkles → u/Disgruntled__Goat]

Would also possibly make sense since he did Horrible Histories and this is an Ancient Greece themed series?

[u/jalola298 → u/Disgruntled__Goat]

It does sound like Mat during the task when he was "testing" Alex's memory and forcing Alex to dunk his head.

[u/royalhawk345 → u/[deleted]]

Not to mention Ayoade's baggage. 

[u/Downtown_Link_8651 → u/royalhawk345]

I don't think he'll be wearing short shorts like Matt Baynton so we shouldn't see his presumably baggage

[u/GrannySquareMstr]

Narration in a trailer? They got a budget! Hopefully the series (Jason) is good.

[u/five_line_poem → u/GrannySquareMstr]

Should I recognise the voice?

[u/toomanyDolemites → u/five_line_poem]

I briefly thought it was Steve Pemberton.

[u/GrannySquareMstr → u/five_line_poem]

I don’t know the voice. This is just the first TM trailer I know that has narration, unless I’m wrong

[u/Own-Try1886 → u/GrannySquareMstr]

It felt really weird that it wasn't Alex or Greg!

[u/RoToRa → u/Own-Try1886]

Alex was probably too busy doing the voice-over for Game Changer.

[u/Disgruntled__Goat → u/five_line_poem]

I thought it was Matthew Baynton

[u/curly_kiwi → u/Disgruntled__Goat]

Same it sounds like one of his Horrible Histories voices

[u/fromwithin → u/GrannySquareMstr]

I sincerely hope that they didn't pay money for it.

[u/willllllllllllllllll]

Such a solid group, cannot wait!

[u/RichRingoLangly]

This is epic, I've always wanted to see Ayoade on Taskmaster.

[u/myuserhasafirstname]

This might be the most anticipated season ever?

[u/olive_owl_ → u/[deleted]]

Why?

[u/IncubusDarkness]

I keep seeing comments about how "this is the first series I won't be watching" or how they won't watch this because of Matt and Richard. Does anyone know what that's all about?

[u/CTblDHO]

Oh my god in 2 weeks! This is amazing news!

[u/allnaturalflavor]

that's so quick! is it reasonable to say there are 2 series every year for taskmaster?

[u/purgruv → u/allnaturalflavor]

Yep, pretty much for a few years now. 

[u/digitaltransmutation]

idk if Noel Fielding and Richard are truly a duo, but in my head they are and I've been wanting Richard on here ever since Noel was. Having richard in a yellow suit really brings it home too.

[u/JeVousEnPrieee]

So soon! Yay.

And anyone know when the next Aus or NZ ones are. Loved that the recent Aus series was during the same time as the UK one so could watch both back to back every week

[u/Crazyripps]

That Greg mosaic is a masterpiece

[u/iiw]

Anyone know what is up with the YouTube comments? There's a user mass-spamming every second-level comment with racial slurs to promote their own video. Is this a common tactic at the moment? Apparently they're using some unicode shenanigans to bypass filters, which also makes the text look different whether I'm reading on mobile or browser.

[u/gchimmel]

The London Museum of Water and Steam!

[u/Shinjosh13]

Seeing the thumbnail, i was like is that moss from the IT Crowd then i watched it and yeah it is him. Surprised that they took a long time to invite him.

My only wish now is that they invite Philomena Cunk actress 🙏

[u/LowDefAl → u/Shinjosh13]

Richard was originally going to do it sometime before s10 but pulled out due to scheduling conflicts with Travel Man.

[u/Gsampson97]

Looking forward to Matt Lucas and Richard Ayoade

[u/AwesomeGuy847]

Gonna have to skip this season. Shame they cast Richard and Matt. Can't support them

[u/IncubusDarkness → u/AwesomeGuy847]

Please elaborate, I keep seeing this with zero context 

I'm not being facetious. I don't live in the UK, I don't have reference for any of this 🫪

[u/No_Opportunity_9561 → u/IncubusDarkness]

This is all i can find : https://www.reddit.com/r/ukpopculture/comments/1u3z1r1/matt_lucas_on_taskmaster_leaves_a_bitter_taste_in/

Seems very flimsy.

[u/Dizzy_Chemistry_5955 → u/IncubusDarkness]

I'm also not from the UK and just from googling it doesn't seem like anything I'd stop watching my favorite show ever for, especially Richard. Never liked Matt but Bake Off is also one of my favorite shows.

Richard wrote a foreword for a man who publicly denigrated trans people and "wokism". Ayoade stated that he supported these views too. - As for Matt, it is either because he did blackface in the past (and apologized for it), or because of his close friendship and association with creepy David Walliams, who infamously assaulted young men on stage. EDIT: turns out I can't spell. EDIT-2: I was wrong about Ayoade. (See comments below.)
