How was this comment posted 2 days ago when the video's only been up an hour?

I enjoyed "What's Your Favorite Season" Wasn't in but we can't win them all.

My Favourite also wasn't in. It was Alex's rendition of Lovely Day

We so need a part 2 to this! Come on Channel 4,stop giving us weirdos like Alan Carr and put the scent stuff in

Baker street!

It is

Same, but also don't have a problem with it.

Pretty much and that’s why I love it, you get a homely feel when you switch from 8 out of ten cats does countdown to Big fat quiz of the year to qi to taskmaster and so on. And see all the familiar faces you love on different shows. Makes you really feel like apart of a community.

Shows like this are side-gig hash-up conventions for comedians who have or have had their own shows, so i can see how it feels that way.

Thats because all of those shows use comedians signed up to talent company Avalon. As a comedian if you sign with them you get to appear on all these shows and increase your visibility.

"I have a cat that was once owned by Dali."

Look up his lip syncing stand-up bit and you'll see just how disconnected his mouth and brain can really get 🤣

His eyes look like they are asking for help

“Johnnnnn.... my friennnd”

Like when Greg Davies asks him what his most boastful object is and he replies “I have a cat that was formerly owned by Dali… two things: I didn’t know you were going to ask that and *I* didn’t know I was going to *say* that”

That and the national front/national trust joke absolutely slayed me.

My thoughts: “He forgot the L!... ohhhhhh”

I don't get the joke. Is it a British thing or am I just stupid?

@@Alicat231999 There's a Christmas carol called The First Noel that he's singing in the tune of. He misses the L in the alphabet he sings so there is no L. You have to say it outloud for it to make sense.

How can it be "too" good?

The intelligible chart is tied to latitude in the UK. Birmingham is only mid-latitude so people make medium sense. The only reason he didnt go as high as Liverpool or Manchester is because they wouldn't understand the joke ;) Go as high as Scotland and the UK just throws a divide by zero.

Amen! Laugh out loud every time I see it, and incredibly clever!

That he can sit so comfortably with complete silence of waiting for someone to laugh and stay completely in character.

I've also seen this man's ass way too many times in Taskmaster

He is so clever in every way and an amazing musician Comedian and creator Taskmaster is the best show and he started it by just sending tasks to his comedian friends to do before it go picked up 😊

The funny thing is that he is the actual owner of that show

Like Reggie Watts

They need Alex and Greg as a team on cats countdown!

At least he has his eggs.

@@warsap9299 More like they need an Alex and Greg combo on Big Fat Quiz of the Year

Just at 0:30, the fact that everyone laughed at the silence at the same time shows how good his timing is.

So is his music.

It's really on display in Taskmaster

that's why he is a comedian, don't you reckon?

Alex is a genius. That simple

Pretty sure you mean subconsciously

Pretty sure they dont

no~el totally caught me off guard 💂‍♂️ 😂 🤣

Big Bill Wurtz vibes on that one

Had me crying 🤣

@@kimiyamkYOURE SO RIGHT

Xensonar that would be amazing!!

Honestly? Why would it be a lie?

@@swanningabout It's a figure of speech.

And if they can't play some nights, Brett Domino Trio can sub for a bit

Eh. I got pretty tired of it by the Chris Hoy song. Plus if it was every episode itd feel like watching those late night shows like Jimmy kimmel or some shit. Blegh If they just played the typical theme, sure, but what a boring job for them, then :/

Can you explain it to me please?

@@neptunestardust The National Trust is a charity that looks after places of historical interest or natural beauty, while the National Front is a far right, fascist political party. To get them confused is pretty ridiculous

AngusMitchell oh okay thank you very much😂

AngusMitchell and it was funny since the bloke had a skinhead 😂

Nikki Barrett HAPPY NOW???

Do you also have a star sign?

lol Me too. And also add that I was once described

"Ex-child, former teenager and soon-to-be adult."

Somewhere in the cosmos Sigmund Freud is laughing in his sleeve.

i think that is his real name, Willip Collier

Omg I know! He's actually really good, I wish I could get some info on his music

(6.40) Wonder what part of Birmingham he's from?

6:43

@@exessex3522 His real name's Pete Grogan apparently.

He does kinda look Spanish

I don't get it, is this an English joke?

@@BARUtubbig No, maybe you're just dumb

@@BARUtubbig Reasonably you'd say something like: "The Jazz ensemble that was once described as ", usually to laud them. When he shortens it, it just means that one time a dude described the ensemble.

@@DrZaius3141 ah that's what I thought already. Thought I missed some sort of English wordplay there.

@@BARUtubbig ah, you thought right.

My sentiments exactly

Oh man am I the opposite. This shit was always gold to me and then taskmaster?!

Same!

Since taskmaster, I notice him in the occasional older episode of various panel shows....talented dude.

Taskmaster is pretty shit tbf.

It's his whole ass Instagram name now

*the national front definitely isn't a timeless classic*

The musical "comedy" and the puns are cringeingly unfunny.

@@cockoffgewgle4993ok.

@@cockoffgewgle4993 And yet, here you are.

Same!

No, it sucks!

What?

Should be Xmas No.1

nimesh0775 absolutely

Sounded like something out of The Boosh

I didn't know it had moved

oh gods please no! If Cats did taskmaster, Carr would be the taskmaster and I have less than no desire to see that.

Tamashi88 oh I very much doubt he would. It’s about time we saw Jimmy doing something other than hosting (apart from QI), isn't it?

@@xtrapolis954m would love him as a contestant on Taskmaster but not some crossover thing like Cats does Countdown. Because then it's *cats* doing something which is why the regular countdown host isn't the one hosting Cats does Countdown. And as Greg is as close to a Host as Taskmaster gets, that would be Jimmy's role. They''d also have to figure out a Taskmaster Role for Sean and Jon. I can't see either of them as a Taskmaster's Assistant, can you? But Taskmaster doesn't have 'teams' outside of the Team Tasks. So, while I loved Jon on the show, and would like to see - or wouldn't be against seeing - Sean and Jimmy on the show I have absolutely no desire for a Cats does Taskmaster.

@@Tamashi88 nah hed just be a contestant. Him rachel Suzy sean and the little one.

As an accountant, I too wish I were funnier

Every time a jazz band is described, a bassist gets his strings

You say that and I literally out loud went wait I think they missed L and didn't catch it lmao

@@ej1493 I did the same thing! I laughed like, “oh, he forgot the L!” And then the damn chorus and I laughed even harder!!

@@kaylawheezy just such a perfect delivery. Series 11 of task master and jamedi (thats probably definitely off) calling him on his crap is hilarious if you haven't seen it.

Same

Taskmaster is a genius programme. Thinking out of the box or going the straight way. Sampled some of the tasks and 'lack of rules' for my own event and the participants loved it. Challenging and thinking at the same time

And the National Trust is a charity which manages historic buildings. Of course, many of the great mansions of Britain were built with fortunes gained in colonialism and slave dealing, so the joke has a bit of a bite to it.

@@qwertyTRiG Most buildings they try to maintain are far older than that, such as castles and prehistoric sites.

Thank you for explaining that, I had no idea :)

Swiss guy says “thank you” I got it from context anyway 🙃

I like to call him the Pale Ayoade

@@widexawake_ Richard would never be anywhere near this animated

He invented Taskmaster, and writes all the tasks.

Listen to his podcast with Richard herring

Watching Taskmaster is what made it clear to me that Alex is a comedic genius.

Why can't you believe it? Surely you are you....and know what you know...

It's one of my favourite jokes from him it was so brilliantly delivered

I like how everyone took precisely the same amount of time to realise the joke too lmao.

Peter Serafinowicz was hilarious 🤣

Behind Greg Davies? Usually he's next to him.

I've been trying to imagine David Mitchell on Taskmaster....

Need to see Susie and Rachel on there too!

@@jeffhoward162 David is a must, hope he goes on it one day

Jimmy would be better for a treat episode methinks than a whole series.

@@jeffhoward162 Unfortunately, he'd likely be boring. His strength is the banter, like Lee Mack, who was on and didn't really work in that format.

You should check out the Horne section podcast, the man is a genius!

The intro song of Taskmaster is by the Horne Section :)

I wouldnt say he could sing..... Note: im not dissing alex or his band im just saying ( and hes said it himself) that he isnt the best singer

@@Orangecatinahoodie I mean it depends on how one defines an ability, really. Is singing ability only judged by vocals when singing? What about the delivery? The performance? For this kind of satirical or comedic songs, having the voice of an angel would surely ruin it!

@@Amaneuclosis i personally meant the way you would judge a singer professionally, but i do agree with you on the fact that just because you can sing well does not make it entertaining, Alex’s performances are funny and enjoyable for me

To be fair Alex writes most of TM. He does most the tasks and I think he is one of the main script writers for it too.

@@cthulhu5717He leverage a commandeering and terrifying character of Greg Davies. He know that a Greg character would make TM good with contrast of awkward character he play. TM schtick rely on this, and If any adaptation fail this. It would not be a great TM. For American version, set aside participant or narration nature of it. The taskmaster is a nice person who is not commandeering enough and talk less so Alex horne have to pretty much carry the show which is a bad formula so for only this fact that would be bad TM. And then you count everything I set aside it become a extra shit show that fail miserably.

Same! I think I drive my husband a little nuts because I sing it so often.

charltonchris74 I also liked the seasons song

Yep, henry is a national hero. however harry hoover and henrietta hoover are frauds

@@pinkkam They're also competitors with Hoover. So he's definitely not called Henry Hoover.

Not sure if you've seen it in the past 7 months, but if you haven't, you REALLY should watch it. The first 12 seasons are free on KZfaq

Considering Joe and Jon have already had a go you'd probably only manage to get the Christmas special if anything.

@@dellavie4319 That would be lovely too.

Pretty sure the taskmaster people loathe Rachel for being a bit of a weirdo neolib about the corbyn years she went a bit too heavily aggressively political

Your family is lucky then, mine are going to be hearing about Britain's preeminent cyclist's admiration for processed meat. HOy HOy HOy!

He sort of takes the sidekick role, but his actual role on taskmaster is show runner, executive producer, writer... he basically is the show.
