Given League of Gentlemen and Inside No 9, Steve's competence at the Mannequin task was fully anticipated 😊😊😊😊

Steve in the mannequin task was a menace, truly haunting to the effects of the sinnerman from Bob Mortimer.

Nick may not be a contender with how's he's doing, but he's certainly won my heart over with how sweet and charmingly upbeat he's been this series.

As per the standard for north american food-naming conventions... the european way is the original flapjack, and you made it a nickname for a completely different food. Like how americans call pizzas pies, or cottage pie (beef) shepherds pie (shepherds has to have lamb in it), or the worst of all, not only calling spaghetti, noodles.... but calling all pasta noodles. I heard john green call a sheet of lasagne a bloody noodle. Pancakes are pancakes. Flapjacks, which are older than the usa, are flapjacks.

I had no idea a flapjack was a pancake in North America! So, I was as surprised by your reaction as you were by the flapjack. - Nick's magic trick was even more impressive in the longer version that is available as an outtake.

I'm pretty sure they have to submit their list of prize tasks before the beginning of taping and they get told then if any are ruled out - and I think from interviews that *way more are vetoed than we ever know. But how much time they get to come up with substitutions, I'm not sure of. Sophie's situation makes it seem like she might have had multiple ones rejected.

Penn Jillette once said that having someone disappear from the audience and appear in the crowd is such an easy trick. Apparently you can just walk down the aisle once you're off the stage without anyone seeing you because everyone in the crowd is focused in what's happening on the stage.

Once you've done with this season, you need to start on Taskmaster Australia. No spoilers, but it's only on episode 2, and there are already several moments I know you will love. (Also, if it makes any difference, there is a couple competing against each other this season creating a new dynamic.)

The farthing ceased to be legal tender in the early sixties, well before full decimalisation was introduced in 1971. The coins themselves I always thought were rather boring, nothing in comparison to a good hearty threepence piece, or 'thruppenny bit' 12 sides and very thick (for its value), much more fun :)

That's even MORE off than what Neil, or anyone of us in North America, would call a flapjack. A flapjack here is aka a pancake. Sorta like how in the U.S. our biscuits are soft, buttery, savory quick bread typically eaten at breakfast in different fashions (personally, I prefer it to make a sandwich with sausage, chicken, or even bacon), and in the UK, it's what we call cookies.

@jakeoliver9167 22 күн бұрын

@@FLQueerLiberal1982America likes to take the names of foods and make it a nickname of a completely different food. Flapjacks, the English invention predating the USA, have always been like this. Pancakes are pancakes.

@markissleepy Ай бұрын

I had to do some research on that "flapjack" thing because it confused me too. I watch a ton of British shows and thought I had all my mental translations in place, but that was a new one to me. Apparently flapjack has meant a pancake or something like it in North America since colonial times. In the UK, it meant the same thing until the 1930's when they suddenly decided it should refer to oat cakes instead.

@@simontay4851 the watershed is 9PM, so the rules that dictate what can be shown on Taskmaster and what can be shown on Naked Attraction are exactly the same.
