Taskmaster Rewatch: Series 6
Thoughts on past series: 1, 2, 3, 4 5 *
*if I make it though all 20 series for the rewatch and am still having fun I will go back and do the CoC but for now we are jumping straight to series six
We've got glasses on Greg! The live tasks all feel like they could be done in a modern series which is fun! The YouTube videos no longer censor the cursing as well.
I think this series has one really lasting moment for the series-that is of course Liza Tarbuck forcing Alex to put his bare ass on a cake. But upon a rewatch there are some other moments that I was too quick to forget namely: Time Vine's Track Suit, Team Funk sticking as a name despite Alice Levine's protest, Asim Chaudhry absolutely nailing the extinguish the candle task.
I think the cast is funny and I enjoy their dynamic, but none of them have the comedy that always lands for me personally. All very good but not personally my thing is kinda my overall feeling for this series. Based on this post
Rating: 6/10 Nothing I didn't like, just nothing that spoke deeply to me.

Taskmaster Series 6:
Liza Tarbuck: Liza is abrasive and blunt in all the best ways. She stomps on a toy man just because she didn't like him, commiting cold blooded and incredibly gleeful murder. She makes Alex sit on a cake. She invented the tarpeter. She wrote a fairy tale about someone having stomach problems. There's so many things she's done that I find just incredible to watch, and I enjoy almost everything she does when she's on screen. Her persona sometimes feels like that of a sadist to me, someone who enjoys causing pain and chaos just because. But she's so funny when she's playing that role, so it all works out.
Tim Vine: Tim Vine is a style icon and he almost feels like an anachronism of a man. He has an accent that reminds me of a dapper old radio announcer, he dresses in some really neat jackets during some of the live segments, and he wore a freaking safari suit during his filmed tasks! He looks like he's ready to go travelling through the dark jungles at any moment, and it's a wonderfully ridiculous outfit that he somehow really pulls off. Also the speed at which he can deliver jokes is truly astounding. His puns are truly something else. I can barely pick between Tim and Liza, they're so excellent.
Asim Chaudhry: Asim is not all that good with some of the tasks, but I can relate to that. And beyond that, he's just so likeable and genuine seeming. I can't help but enjoy him. I don't have a whole lot else I even really feel like adding here, because I think it speaks for itself. Greg treats him like his son sometimes, and it's weirdly sweet. Asim just seems like a really nice guy, and it's fun to watch him doing stuff. Also, him, liza and tim just kind of remind me of the Three Stooges. They're such a wonderful trio of insanity.
Russell Howard and Alice Levine: I find them both really funny, so I can't bring myself to want to put either of them in last place. So they're both tied for fourth. They both bring some really funny things to the series.
Taskmaster Series 7:
Rhod Gilbert: While James Acaster is sometimes a jerk who ignores Alex and dehumanizes him in that way that just makes me feel unhappy, Rhod Gilbert is incredibly compelling and entertaining to me. He's a crazy, crazy man. And he's also very incredibly easy to irritate, something which I can easily relate to. Some of his task attempts really stand out up me.
Phil Wang: Phil is hilarious. I'm beginning to run out of words to describe all these contestants on the show, but Phil really is funny. He's kind of crazy, and he's not very good at most of the tasks. But somehow him not being very good makes me like him even more than I already did.
Kerry Godliman: Kerry is slightly competitive at times, which I don't love. But she's also very easily stressed and angered, and I really relate to that. I relate to her general emotional state a lot, and that's why she's coming in third. I almost put her in second, but I found Phil just slightly funnier. Kerry is more relatable, but Phil is slightly funnier. If that makes sense.
Jessica Knappett: Jess is just as good as Phil and Kerry. I would move her higher up on the list. But Phil and Kerry just hold my attention more often, and I couldn't really tell you why. I still really like Jessica, though. She's got a wonderful energy. She just feels excited to be there, you know? And it's nice to see such earnestness. Her and Kerry are a dream team.
James Acaster: There's a thin line between a funny comedy persona and an unfunny one when it comes to playing a mean-spirited person. Other contestants have nailed the dichotomy wonderfully. But James Acaster does not nail that dichotomy. He doesn't do it at all. I remember openly despising the joke of him refusing to acknowledge Alex's existence during every task. Rewatching the season, I've learned to like him a bit more. He has some really funny moments. But he's still my least favorite contestant this series. I feel like he's playing a character, but a character that's incredibly obnoxious (at least to me).
Taskmaster Series 8:
Paul Sinha: Paul is a very intelligent man, and he dresses like he's just fallen out of bed and gotten onto set. He isn't very good at a lot of his tasks, but he seems like such a genuinely kind and courteous man. And it's really fun to watch him struggle, I must admit. He's definitely my favourite of all the contestants. Just watching him showcase his ability for facts while struggling with everything else…it's tremendously funny.
Joe Thomas and Lou Sanders: Joe feels so stressed and depressed half the time, and I really relate to him. I didn't remember him too well after watching other seasons, but I'm really relating to him now. I really, really relate to him. And I almost feel bad for forgetting just how funny he was. And Lou is just so chaotic and funny that I can't help loving her task attempts. She's crazy and chaotic, and I love her for that energy. It's hard to pick between Joe and Lou, so they're both tied for second.
Sian Gibson: Sian feels like someone I want to be more like. She's not good at things, but nothing gets to her. When she fails a task, she asks to keep going or continues onwards anyways (even knowing she's failed). I wish I had her energy and her spirit, and she's really nice to watch doing her thing.
Iain Stirling: Iain is competitive, and that isn't always too fun. But he's so hyper and easy to get indignant and riled up. I relate to that indignation, and I find him very funny. So yeah, he comes in fourth instead of in last. There is no fifth place this season, because they're all very fun. I can't let myself have this type of arrangement too often, I suppose. But I legitimately like all of these contestants.
Taskmaster Series 9:
Jo Brand: Jo Brand is an icon. She's everything I could ever aspire to be. She doesn't seem to care about anything, but she goes through it all with a real confidence in her lack of care. She doesn't care, but she's here to just enjoy herself. That's an attitude I really like, one I wish I had more of in myself. She doesn't let anything or anyone get to her, and I admire that confidence so much.
David Baddiel: David is kind of relatable to me, in that he's earnestly trying but just isn't always all that good. I really find something about him very charming, and I really enjoy him. If Jo is who I admire, David is someone I can see more of myself in. Or something like that. Point is: Jo and David carry series 9 on their backs. They're the best.
Rose Matafeo: Rose was their first contestant from New Zealand, so I think it's safe to say she's someone who helped them get picked up in NZ. I really like her, although I don't actually have a lot of great words at this very moment with which I can describe why I like her. But her task attempts really were great, and she's a great sort of introduction to New Zealand's comedy scene. I say that because I probably only knew around 3 or 4 New Zealand actors or comedians before her and Taskmaster NZ came along.
Katy Wix: Katy is very kind. She just seems so excited to be there, and she seems to prioritize having fun over desperately trying to win. I really like her, but I just like the other three slightly more.
Ed Gamble: Ed feels hyper competitive and smug sometimes. Like James Acaster before him, Ed is just not always that easy for me to like. Ed is definitely the one I remember liking more, though. He's funny. He's got a ton of great moments. I kind of like the pastels he wears sometimes. I think his task attempts can be pretty funny, too. But simply because I don't love his attitude in studio all the time, he has to come in last. I don't hate him, though.
Taskmaster Series 10:
Johnny Vegas: Johnny Vegas is just…he's perfect. He's incredibly relatable to me. Often sad, very inept, sometimes agitated. There's something of a depression constantly lingering over his persona in my head, and that alone makes me adore him. I feel seen in the comedy of Johnny Vegas. I really feel seen by someone so sad, someone who struggles so much. And he's easily the most memorable part of the whole series. I think Johnny Vegas may just be my spirit animal. He has my heart with his whole act. He actually reminds me of Teddy from Bob's Burgers, if Teddy was British. You know, maybe that's why I find him so intensely relatable.
Daisy May Cooper: Daisy aka achievement woman is amazing to watch. She's so loud and over the top sometimes, but that's what I love about her. She's amazing to watch, because she seems this close to breaking into maniacal laughter at all times. Everyone in series 10 feels like a different breed of mentally ill, and I'm loving it. Everyone is an inch away from a nervous breakdown, and they're either depressed or maniacal. Daisy is maniacal, and she looks like she's going to fall off her chair in the studio because she laughs so much. She's very infectious in her laughter, and I really just find her funny. She's a very strong character.
Katherine Parkinson: Katherine has some interesting choices when it comes to her tv and film roles. She's gonna be in HBO's Harry Potter series, and she was in The IT Crowd. Graham Linehan and JK Rowling, two of england's most notorious transphobic writers (I didn't know who Graham Linehan was until a few months ago, but I get the impression he's notorious). Anyways, Katherine Parkinson certainly seems to pick projects run by transphobes. I'd like to believe it's coincidence, but that suspicion made me have to move her to third.
Why is she still in third and not in fifth? It's simple. It's all because I still relate to her. Even if she is a bigot off camera, her persona on the show is just that of (in my opinion) a housewife and/or a professional actress having a complete nervous breakdown under pressure. She's sensitive, she's not good at a lot of tasks, she's got this weird relationship with alex, she's really fun to watch. But I'm still putting her third just because of the whole Harry Potter thing. Better safe than sorry.
4. Mawaan Rizwan: A very fun contestant who's really made me laugh sometimes. The one contestant who I think consistently has a big creative streak, especially during the prize tasks. But the other contestants I've put above of him have simply appealed to me more, honestly. But yeah, I'm not gonna forget everything Mawaan has done. He's really been fun to watch. He tried to put helium in an egg! I just…things like that make him super fun to watch. He's only in fourth because I like so many of the contestants this season. He's still great, though.
5. Richard Herring: The most interesting thing about Richard Herring to me is something besides his comedy. The most interesting thing about him to me is the fact that he's maintained a daily blog since 2002, honestly. I find that really impressive. I feel like I'm almost bordering on doing that with how often I write things in my notes app or write things online. I find his writing interesting in that regard, but he's not really a favourite contestant for me. He grows on me as I watch the season. He has some amazing moments in the final few episodes of the series, but I do just think he's the worst in our group of five contestants.
when Greg made a pun:
We all know Greg hates puns (and with S17, there will be lots of them), so it's rare when he makes them.
