Taskmaster - Dave
Discussion
Funniest thing currently on TV and the only thing that actually makes me laugh out loud.
Talking about it in the office last week and only two of us had ever watched it. It needs a wider audience. However what it doesn't need is a bigger budget which a larger audience might bring. This would ruin it.

It's genuinely laugh out loud funny. I don't think I've laughed at someone so hard for some time. Some of the tasks are hilarious.
Dave Gorman paying the crew £250 to strip off, Al Murray spending £150 on a taxi just to win a task and also peeing into a saucepan and arguing it's the same as sweat as well as stripping off with that huge gong
Rob Beckett dressed up as a granny with a pressure washer and Sara Pascoe has very been funny too. Paul Chowdhry has come up with some fantastic dead pan delivered bits too.
I only started watching it this series having missed the first two as I think they clashed with someone else. However having watched the current one so far I'm definitely going to catch up with the previous ones. Looking at the previous contestants it looks like they should be just as good.

Yeah, there another thread somewhere on previous series but I've been watching since it started. The way the different people approach the same thing, some of them are surprisingly good, then you think others would be better and think things through more (Dave Gorman's like this to me, before this series started I thought he'd be the brains of the bunch, as Richard Osman was last series). Paul Chowdry though, he really is a bit special isn't he?

Series 1 was a cracker, they obviously have a ball filming it because it really radiates through to the viewer.
Series 2 was pretty flat and disappointing and I was worried that it was a one hit wonder but series 3 has been right back up there again thankfully.
It's a really engaging format.
Dave have commissioned another two series after this one too

I think it is basically ok, but can be a bit hit and miss. I don't really like the final challenge in the studio on stage, it usually ends up being a bit of an unfunny slapstick farce.
9 times out of 10, the tasks and the manner in which the comedians approach them, along with some of the wins and fails, are of fairly decent comedic value.
But for me, the main reason that I watch it is that I am just a massive fan of Greg Davies, and he often clearly genuinely is in hysterics.....that's something that you can't really fake or act, and for some reason whenever I see Greg cracking up, it just folds me up too!
I hope it carries on for a good few series yet, anyway
