'SUP Awesome Patrons! I've just watched the first two episodes of Taskmaster Season 3, and I'm already in love. Maybe it's that I am more familiar with the show now, maybe it's that this cast is awesome, or maybe it's a combination. Either way, so far it is GREAT!

Here is the unedited, full-length version of my reaction to Episode 1, and I would love if you watched along with me. *updated thumbnail to come* Definitely be sure to let me know your thoughts about It if you do! I've provided the unblurred version up top via Streamable (just click the photo thumbnail), and the link for the blurred YouTube version can be found here: https://youtu.be/c6olPFegI1U. For those watching the blurred version, remember that you'll need your own copy of the episode to sync up (I found the full Taskmaster episodes free on YouTube, fyi).

Thanks as always for your incredible support, and I hope you have a great rest of the day/night!

Oooo excited to watch this!!! Season 3 is regarded as one of the least good seasons (I say ‘least good’ because nothing about Taskmaster could ever be referred to as ‘worst.’) So if you’re enjoying it then that’s good news for you moving forward! I love Rob Beckett in this season as he’s a new father and totally sleep deprived, which makes for hilarious watching. I’m looking forward to watching it again with your reactions.

I'm interested to see if season 3 is better than I remember it. 4, 5, 7, and 9 are some of my favorites, so I feel like my brain might have unjustly devalued 3, 6, and 8. I love this cast for sure, though.

S3 definitely isn't the most popular series, so I'm very glad you're enjoying it and excited to rewatch with you! Paul's energy is so funny. His "bastard's crying innit" pops into my head weirdly often. By the way, Al Murray has a character called the Pub Landlord which is referenced a few times, I think. Oh, and the background music is composed mostly by Dru Masters. The theme tune is by The Horne Section.

Because season 3 wasn't my favorite I haven't watched it in a while. Before I said, I wasn't sure about Paul. But now rewatching it after seeing so many other comedians I can give him the credit he is due.

Oh good!! Well hey, sounds like that does bode well for me indeed then lol. And I'm glad you mentioned that about Rob- that's a much more wholesome reason for his behavior than I was thinking (cocaine lol)

Hey thanks so much for the info on the music, Evan! I've noticed it before, but it must have been especially fitting in this episode because I thought to mention it. I remember someone telling me about the theme and Horne Section before, because I believe it was in the context of Swedish Fred being a member. I didn't know about the Dru Masters, though, so thanks as always!

Haha I hear ya. Aww Paul. Yeah, I mean he isn't lighting the world on fire with his enthusiasm, and honestly half the time he has the look of someone who agreed to show up to a place blindly for $10, but I do love him. And I totally get what you mean about giving someone their due later on (me with Anne Hathaway). Hey maybe that's how I'll feel about Katherine when I come back to her one day ;)

He really is a funny person. While 3 isn't my favorite, it's still so funny. Sarah is one of my favorites of the whole show. As for Katherine, I think watching different things with her in it helps understand her humor more than this. I'm glad you like Rob. He grew up by another comedian who is like his opposite named Tom Allen(the childhood stories are funny, also Rob's impression of Tom's mother. Tom talks very posh and Rob said Tom's mother talks very much like Rob himself.) who I want to be on a taskmaster so bad, I hope it happens one day.

I did not remember Sara's Queen clock, and it's actually an interesting thing to see now. The boyfriend she references whose clock it was is John Robins. He was in the most recent series of Taskmaster and his love for Queen comes up on the show. She broke up with him about two months after this season aired. In 2017, they both performed shows at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival about their break-up. John won a prize for best show (he tied with Hannah Gadsby), but Sara's was also well received. They are not the only Taskmaster contestants to have once been a couple, but more about that in future seasons.

As always, half the fun of TM comes from knowing the contestants from other things. Dave Gorman writes books and makes shows about his epically pointless pub bets. Among other things he has travelled all over the world to meet other people named Dave Gorman and started a cult (which led to him being dumped by his girlfriend). Al Murray is best known for his character "The Pub Landlord" a racist, sexist caricature but he also holds a history degree and uses it to prove in his stage performances that England is the best country that has ever existed and is the world champion of war. Rob Beckett is a former flatmate of Jon Richardson and a frequent guest on "Cats does Countdown". Sara Pascoe is a famous jobbing comedian who turns up everywhere. I actually didn't know Paul Chowdhry when I watched this, but his subtle, dry humour quickly won me over.

Caroline

Not my favourite season but still a good one. Paul is one of the funniest guys ever, he reminds me more of Romesh though😁 Also Rob is a very well known comedian here, he has a show with Romesh that’s really funny. Another wee fun fact is that Rob and your girl Roisin always get called twins by other comedians because of their teeth😬😂haha And know it’s nothing to do with this season either but Roisin introduced Jon Richardson to his now wife and mother of his daughter, which is a sweet/funny story as well☺️😝

I really want that clock lol. I looked on Amazon and ebay, and there are similar ones, but I couldn't find that exact one. The search continues! Even though I'm just now getting to know these celebs, I guess like with anyone in entertainment, it must be hard to stay together as a couple. But with comedians especially, I feel like their schedules are probably all over the place.

Thank you so much, Michael!! On one hand, I love that we just jump on into a new season and hit the ground running, but that said, I do kind of wish the we took a few minutes in the first episode to do mini-bios like this of each contestant. My guess is that the vast majority of the audience is like you and already knows who everyone is, so it's deemed not really necessary, but I would like that. Thankfully I have you guys to tell me!

Thanks Caroline! I love how connected everyone is :) Yeah, totally on Paul/Romesh..I guess Joe was just fresh on my mind from last season, and the quiet, dry demeanor struck me. Speaking of my girl... :) I just posted an 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown reaction video to a Best of Roisin compilation. That was the first I'd seen of 8 Out of 10.. and I loved it!!

I had already watched it😁 Yeah, everyone loves Roisin.. she’s just herself and doesn’t try to be funny, which makes her even more likeable😌 Taskmaster wasn’t long enough for Kathrine to grow on you, it took ages for me to like her. I think because she seems a bit fake and trying too hard compared to woman comedians that I’m used to, which instantly put me off her. I can say tho, that there’s going to be so many more women comedians on other seasons that you are going to absolutely LOVE as much as Roisin.. 100%!😙👌🏼 And can’t wait for you to get to my favourite season, (season 7). Which, I know is still a wee bit aways😣😂 Much love to yous from Bonnie Scotland💙🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (Ps: have to say, been watching your Game of Thrones reactions and your Scottish accent is well shocking btw🤨😂haha)
