They're both under Avalon comedy. It's kinda like when music artists constantly collab with people who are with the same label.

Part of it is that BBC is not allowed to hand out cash or extravagant non-cash prizes, so many shows that would have otherwise been competitions/quiz shows end up just having comediants being in them for the laughs rather than members of the public.

instablaster...

I figure it’s like how American comedians are all on each other’s podcasts. I honestly love both.

Tbh, it’s the same in Germany ^^

Honestly, I think their dynamic in the bedroom wouldn't differ much from their on-screen dynamic. Greg would just lean back and let Alex do all the work :p.

Omfg this got me dying 😂😂😂

@@neon-kitty i hate this comment but you're still right hahahaha

"Everyone knows, Everyone knows, I am the carpet snake"

Greg is definitely hetero-flexible.

The terrifying thing is I unironically would not be surprised.

New task idea: Write sexual fanfiction about Greg and Alex and upload it to the internet. Most liked fiction after 3 months after being uploaded wins. You have 1 hour to write it. Your time starts now.

really the main one theyd be referencing is the one they sung tgether on the horne section podcast. someone found the person who wrote it, and they have written HUNDREDS of poems and stories about them - i wouldnt be surprised if it was in the thousands since i saw it 3 years ago

That's where I thought it was going. I expected Alex to say "I spent three weeks writing those!"

Who is more f’ed up than the actual villain lmaooo

no i'm pretty sure it's fucking alex

@@pitofdespair-seaonsonal359 💀

YES

All of these comments actually have me laughing out loud 😂

actually in such a universe greg could be easily giving the tasks for alex to do as their special little roleplay. "make the taskmaster ... fastest wins." lol

right? or like a king and a jester or something

Do you have the link by chance?

Another good example of Greg/Alex at kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nZ1khdt-yr6XfJc.html 😂😂 Yes, the traditional way! 😂

That's how I've always seen it aswell.

Same

Yeah. That's what it is. It's just some folk find that dynamic kinda sexy.

@@kayleighbrown459 some folk find every kind of dynamic sexy between random people sexy for whatever fucked up reason

@@fredhasopinions And god bless em for it.

yeah I understand it’s just a joke but it’s strange

@@KrisCasey4 I think it's meant to be strange. Even as a joke it's done to make some people feel uneasy and uncomfortable.

Its not so abusive. Plus Alex 100% loves being abused i guarantee

It's just the British sense of humour

I would argue that we know it's consenting due to alex creating the show, so more of a humiliation kink, dom, sub stuff haha

Was Greg on the podcast?

@@spamvicious yup

Please tell me which episode was that

Do you know which episode that was? I'd love to see if it's one of my fav stories.

If only one could post the "man of culture" meme right now... 😂

-with a bell on top XD

Fair play

I feel so culturally eduated that I got the reference, it's embarassing xD

love that reference !

Archive of our own is your friend there...

jesus christ, 158??

I’m surprised there isn’t more

Parler,disscuter et s’améliorer Studios Give it some time ...

@@parlerdisscuteretsameliore6005 it's been two weeks and it's already in the early 200s

As a fellow Dane I agree. It's horrendous

you guys are just making non-danes more curious about what it sounds like

@@katleinzimmerman8783 As a half dane, it's kind of half fine.

what's it like

@@odettemim3509 bit like a Viking on steroids while trying to read a map when they’re lost

How does one share tiles with another person? Do you remove them at set times and post them to Greg, and go without, until Greg has returned them to you after his alloted, designated period?

@@jamiebridson7871 Indeed, I have to be particularly careful when removing them, Greg likes them in good condition. We do it every second Wednesday.

Ahh yes, the Elina series. Very common in the UK as they were produced by BCT, as well as one of the cheaper Turkish factories so easy to get in places like Trago and B&Q

@@StephenMckeatingVegan Curiously, I have actually wondered about this. They are a thing we do not have and they seem remarkably common in houses pictured on all forms of UK television over quite a long period of time. Thanks for that.

You’re famous

I think the couple he was talking about may have been my aunt and uncle... shes Danish and they were living in Shropshire during the 80's also about the right age!

I was thinking the same thing

Here’s the weirdest part, Alex is the producer of the show, meaning he is Greg’s boss.

@@tootruetrivia5715 yup, I’m aware! Although boss is a strong term for the relationship between showrunner and host.

Topping from the bottom 👌

Don’t worry it’s granddad and grandson, everything is okay :)

XD

THIS COMMENT

Alex also says tis-yoos which is fucking with my mind ever since I heard it

who responds in her newsreader voice

It will end once James kills Rhod I'm afraid...

Anti team 2 - Ed and David

@@Kay-vf8wu I love how Ed & James, great friends who do a podcast together, are the ones who have to get the teammate they both despise. I like the idea of them in the studio just chatting together about how much they hate it.

Also Jessica and Kerry!

The twins of series 3, Rob and Sara.

please do!

And don’t forget the surprised granny 😉😂

The pure thought makes me not want to be alive ever again

I don't think that distinction would particularly change their answer, I can't imagine Greg going "oh I'll shag my mum's body then, now that I understand the specifics".

@@SundaraRamanR Hahaha, probably not. Misunderstandings just bother me, I guess :p.

You are swimming in deep waters, mate. Come up for air.

You are right, that is exactly what I meant when I asked it.

Yeah that was a weird interpretation of the question they had- probably would have resulted in the same answer though I guess

Same

Same

Totally

Absolutely.

Yes! I need more!

Yes! This was wat too short!

I'd watch Greg read the telephone book, to be honest.

alex definitely HAS found ao3- he made a song using words from a fanfiction of himself and greg from ao3

@@rouge1888 Can I please have the name of this song?

@@cafekkos13 it didn't have a name, but you can find it on the horne section podcast ep with greg davies

​@@rouge1888 I don't know what to say, except that my life is both better and worse after having listened to that.

That's how I felt when I found out they have dubbed Taskmaster in my language and shown it on our telly. It's surreal and mildly horrifying.

@@rkah6187 oh god, dubbed taskmaster. can't imagine

@@cookie4049 It's not even the fact that it was dubbed, though that's already awful in and of itself. It's that they used that horrible voice-over thing where you can still hear the original underneath. I couldn't listen to it longer than a minute.

Or watch the first episode of the new season!

or watch seasons 1 through 9 THEN the new episode all on all 4

You heard about the fanfic, right? 🤣🤣🤣

Ah, you have taste.

Shame he missed him!

@@MKBergen lol, i know right

She does!! Never heard of her before this but after a quick google I definitely agree

She was Katherine of Aragon in the "Wolf Hall" miniseries a few years ago. I'm surprised Russell Howard had never heard of her. She was billed as Johanna Whaley-Kilmer during the years of her movie star fame.

Now I can hear him laughing in my head! 🤣😂

@@garfreeek Ah! Ah! Ahhh!

@@berryberrykixx EXACTLY!! xD

... dude

@@jessicaable5095 I hope he asks Tim Minchin my new question... Moahahahaaa #evenmoreevil

@@BardicJim... Duuuude

Fortunately for us, we have the internet. U.S. TV would f-cock these up beyond recognition, and then make you sit through endless commercials to get 2/3 of the content of a Brit show. Brit TV is just far superior.

@@blackeyedsusan727 Worse yet, it'd be hosted by a cavalcade of moronic b-list "comedians", actors, and lame talkshow hosts, and be about as entertaining as a getting a root canal. Mind you, I don't hate all American TV, but a good portion of it is absolute garbage. It could be done and even done well in America, but it wouldn't be because the producers for most AmerIcan TV are too busy snorting blow off of hookers' backsides to make good content and marketing tells them they have to cater to the lowest common denominator.

I mean there was a US version of taskmaster and you can imagine how that went...

​@@krs9748 Was there? I've never even heard of it. Looking it up, it seems to have been a Comedy Central endeavor. It seems Reggie Watts was the task master and Alex Horne was assistant. Looking over the panelists, it looks like it could have had some potential. I like Reggie but I don't think he'd have the same kind of looming vibe as Greg Davies that makes for a good task master, though. Comedy Central also has a poor track record for keeping decent shows on the air, so no surprise there that it only lasted a season. I'd also imagine Alex probably didn't have time to continue putting into the show, since he was also doing the UK original.

@@upinarms79Episodes were cut down to 22 minutes, too. I haven't seen it but it seemed like most people were disappointed with it

It would be a disaster. So obviously, it must happen.

Oh my gosh! Big round headed bafoon!

Very unexpected for a musician

@@Delinae it is rather 😂

He always seems to have an unlimited number of hilarious and ridiculous stories.. him and Bob Mortimer!

They are, but not the way round that you mean. Alex Horne is the gaffer

Isn’t that how you’re supposed to? Or have I been saying it wrong😅 oh well gotta love the kiwi accent

That's actually the traditional way, "ish-oos" is the result of a sound change.

Oh I love that too
