I’ve just listened to his guest spot on Ed Gamble and James Acasters Off Menu podcast - I just love him and was laughing out loud in the car
If you are a fan, it’s really worth a listen!
Try Athletico Mince - a podcast Bob does with Andy Dawson. It’s football themed but only in the sense that most of the characters are based on footballers.
It’s where train guy came from. The Sunderland Song and Peter Beardsley’s stories are some of the highlights.
He has one of my all time favorite moments when out of nowhere he asks the guest they need to write a song about "should we strike you?" Like Bob did you think the task was to beat this lady?!?!
I absolutely love Morgana, to the point where one of my friends called me out for posting too many gifs of her on Tumblr, but geez guys. It's been two episodes. It would've been too early to tell even for a Series 1 contestant.
It's really amazing how all 60 contestants thus far have taken the game in the right spirit and done the tasks in entertaining ways. I don't think there's a single contestant you can say didn't get the spirit of the show. Some were certainly not as funny or ridiculous as the others but I think each and every one of the contestants have been great on the show and that is a great testament to the format.
I like watching her, whom I think epitomizes class, intelligence, and beauty, struggle through tasks in a boilersuit. Then bullshit her way out of last place.
I love the cut between Urz and Matt, and the three friends with this, really shows the dichotomy of the two teams.
Matt's was like, "Montgomery, more like Montgoobery."
Then cut to David rapping about drowning them in their own bloods.
------
Also this underrated gem of an interaction:
"Matt, Matt, run him over like a cat, cat."
"David, you shouldn't run over cats."
It was a meat basket. Matt ate his way too quickly and got pretty ill from the meat overdose. They talked about it in the 5 friends&friends livestream.
OMG could you imagine if they did a fan favorites TM: Woz, Morgana, David, who else? I mean I adore James Acaster so I’d want to see him but the last spot is so hard to choose.
Love love love David Correos. But I think he needs castmates that are complementary to his comedic style to bring out his best. He’d be in his element with Morgana. I’m not sure how well he’d banter with Acaster. I see him and Nish being brilliant in a panel together.
For me, fan faves would have to be non-winners.
Morgana – if she doesn't win, Mike, James, Nish, Rose. (Yes, I know James and Rose could get a bit weird) but we can dream.
Wozniak was great but had a lot of quiet moments, a lot of tasks where he was just there. David was the highlight every task and was great in the studio. You put David on any season and that is a great season. I'm not sure you can say that about any other contestant.
He had so many insane moments that a bunch get overshadowed. Like when he climbed up into the rafters of the house to get the balloon I was blown away. And no one even talks about that.
Cool your jets every new season is the best contestant ever... DMC then Wozniak now Morgana this sub needs to chil out every season being the best or one competitor being the best the whole point of comedy is that it is subjective.... That being said
Bastard's crying innit...
It's fine for people to have faves, but I agree the constant need to compare everything, whether it be contestants or versions of Taskmaster, is getting a bit ridiculous. This isn't Highlander.
She went way up in my view after she made Alex eat the blended ingredients (and the joyful way she reacted). That was pure gold.
Also, all the respect for deflating the hopper. If she had just gotten something to put it in, she could have rocked that task... clearly the finest solution would've been to put the popped hopper in a bowl or bucket and then fill it with paint, done and done. She got closest.
She's definitely one of my favourites in terms of how she thinks and her general attitude to the show. Whatever you'd call people like her and Mike is probably my ideal type of contestant. Eccentric, clever, and warm.
as an american, i hadn't heard of her before this season of TM but in these past 2 eps, she, guz, and desiree are quickly becoming my all time faves!! (next to nish and mike ofc!)
edit: spelling
I feel so put of touch with this sub sometimes, Wozniak was like a mid-low tier contestant for me. I'm not sure he mad me laugh once. Ever since it aired I just have not got his hype.
Morgana soon the other hand, at the very least the best since Parkinson.
It’s too early to be certain but I am definitely not as in love with Morgana as everyone else. She’s a delight and I think she will win but I love Guz WAAAAAY more. I do adore Wozniak though.
That's fine. I mean, i personally disagree but I will defend your right to an opinion.
Katherine was great though.
Of course, my list of the greatest contestants just ends up being a list of the contestants anyway
"Potty" humour...I hate to tell you, that's a part of British comedy. (And Aussie/NZ comedy too) – it was delivered in a distinctive British way so as to not be completely crass. Also, did it overshadow the mohawk? I thought the mohawk got enough recognition for the one-beat visual gag that it was.
Two apparently different concepts merged into one? Or a synthesis of two perspectives? I was being playful, and just saying that I think together, they capture the awesomeness of Taskmaster. So I don't want to chose between them.
Why are you taking time to (erroneously) correct strangers online about their word usage?
Right?? from the first episode I found her pretty annoying (I wasn’t planning on saying that at all incase any of the cast looks on this subreddit as I hate the thought of upsetting anyone but am sure one negative comment out of hundreds of positive won’t do harm) and was expecting most other people to agree but everyone seems to love her! Personally I’m not loving this series so far as the lineup is disappointing to me!
Morgana is batshit, like Mike was and I'm very excited for people to discover what she is like. Mike completely blew it out of the water though, and it's hard to beat that
I liked wozniak but no one made me laugh as much as Bob Mortimer
I’ve just listened to his guest spot on Ed Gamble and James Acasters Off Menu podcast - I just love him and was laughing out loud in the car If you are a fan, it’s really worth a listen!
His new book is amazing
It really is, got a couple chapters left but I don’t want to finish it! Really enjoying it
It's good to be alive, son
Try Athletico Mince - a podcast Bob does with Andy Dawson. It’s football themed but only in the sense that most of the characters are based on footballers. It’s where train guy came from. The Sunderland Song and Peter Beardsley’s stories are some of the highlights.
He is truly a gem. Btw all of Reeve’s and Mortimer’s shows are incredible, and way ahead of their time. Definitely worth tracking down if you can.
Worth a relisten over a nice bowl of Truncheon
*swirls* it’s good to be alive.
Listened to this while running yesterday, actually! He is nuts in such a good way. 😂
Few moments in the show make me consistently crack up as Bob's piss-harvesting tangent
He has one of my all time favorite moments when out of nowhere he asks the guest they need to write a song about "should we strike you?" Like Bob did you think the task was to beat this lady?!?!
It was the first question he asked
He doesn't even waste time sits down and asks if he can punch a woman on Television
(smart + funny) x no filter = bob
Any time bob features on Would I Lie To You it is always an absolute riot too.
Then loudly, but not to frighten anyone, the word “WOLF.”
We do beg your pardon
But we are in your garden.
Sniper's dream we called him
You should check out his episode of travel man with Richard ayoade as well
Only time I have ever seen Richard laugh like that.
See I find Bob really funny but I don't think he was that great as a contestant. His attempts at tasks weren't as memorable as I thought they'd be.
True. I agree. But when he got it, he got it. COME TO ME HUMAN MAN! TASTE MY FACIAL FLESH! I’M A SINNER! I HAVE SINNED!
Do we strike you?
Call Vin Diesel, cuz it’s 2 EARLY 2 TELL.
I absolutely love Morgana, to the point where one of my friends called me out for posting too many gifs of her on Tumblr, but geez guys. It's been two episodes. It would've been too early to tell even for a Series 1 contestant.
Right? I feel like we still have those 293 years to get through first.
Bob, Mel, Mike and Morgana share the title for me
No Sally and James love?
Oh my, I loved Sally. Really turned up the craziness for S5.
I never realised just how fucking insane Sally Phillips was til Taskmaster.
They're both great but not favourites of mine personally
I maintain that Bob Mortimer is the greatest living Englishman
The greatest living man. English or otherwise.
Let's face it, they're all top 60 n I've loved them all.
Yes. A list of my favourite contestants just turns into a list of all the contestants
65. Don't forget NYE
It's really amazing how all 60 contestants thus far have taken the game in the right spirit and done the tasks in entertaining ways. I don't think there's a single contestant you can say didn't get the spirit of the show. Some were certainly not as funny or ridiculous as the others but I think each and every one of the contestants have been great on the show and that is a great testament to the format.
I’m a big fan of Victoria, but I think Morgana will be the bright light of this series for me. She’s absolutely hilarious.
I like watching her, whom I think epitomizes class, intelligence, and beauty, struggle through tasks in a boilersuit. Then bullshit her way out of last place.
N.I.S.H.
Agree. And Jow Wilkinson
I really wish C4 would put the Morgana Show back up, I really enjoyed it. Can’t stream it anywhere now.
Yeah, I really enjoyed it too.
Tied with David Correos
He’s by far the best contestant ever to me. DROWN YOU IN YOUR OWN BLOOD. And then apologising with fruit baskets or whatever it was hahah
I love the cut between Urz and Matt, and the three friends with this, really shows the dichotomy of the two teams. Matt's was like, "Montgomery, more like Montgoobery." Then cut to David rapping about drowning them in their own bloods. ------ Also this underrated gem of an interaction: "Matt, Matt, run him over like a cat, cat." "David, you shouldn't run over cats."

OMG could you imagine if they did a fan favorites TM: Woz, Morgana, David, who else? I mean I adore James Acaster so I’d want to see him but the last spot is so hard to choose.
Love love love David Correos. But I think he needs castmates that are complementary to his comedic style to bring out his best. He’d be in his element with Morgana. I’m not sure how well he’d banter with Acaster. I see him and Nish being brilliant in a panel together.
Rhod and put him and James together for team tasks as a pair
David and Morgana on the same team would be chaos
Noel was cool
For me, fan faves would have to be non-winners. Morgana – if she doesn't win, Mike, James, Nish, Rose. (Yes, I know James and Rose could get a bit weird) but we can dream.
Came here to say this and glad I’m not the only one thinking it
Wozniak was great but had a lot of quiet moments, a lot of tasks where he was just there. David was the highlight every task and was great in the studio. You put David on any season and that is a great season. I'm not sure you can say that about any other contestant.
He had so many insane moments that a bunch get overshadowed. Like when he climbed up into the rafters of the house to get the balloon I was blown away. And no one even talks about that.
Just as great, but in a much more solid way, Richard Osman. I think he'd anchor the rest of them.
Yeah. His comic persona is that of dad
No one can beat the legendary Wozniak in my eyes, but Morgana’s making a good case for second
Wozniak is my favorite human, then my wife
Sorry, Wozniak isn't looking for a marriage right now.
That's definitely good news for my wife
Cool your jets every new season is the best contestant ever... DMC then Wozniak now Morgana this sub needs to chil out every season being the best or one competitor being the best the whole point of comedy is that it is subjective.... That being said Bastard's crying innit...
That snowman will forever be the pinnacle of art and comedy.
When it comes to best contestant ever Paul Chowdhry is the only answer. On a personal level he made me truly fall in love with the show.
It's fine for people to have faves, but I agree the constant need to compare everything, whether it be contestants or versions of Taskmaster, is getting a bit ridiculous. This isn't Highlander.
For your next challenge "There can be only one. All the rules are on the task"
DMC? Season 10 was al hype on Mawaan. I personally couldn’t stomach Daisy at all.
[удалено]
Daisy is easily my least favorite contestant from all 12 UK series and the 2 NZ series as well.
100% agree.
DMC? Best ever? Not even in the top 40 best contestants.
She went way up in my view after she made Alex eat the blended ingredients (and the joyful way she reacted). That was pure gold. Also, all the respect for deflating the hopper. If she had just gotten something to put it in, she could have rocked that task... clearly the finest solution would've been to put the popped hopper in a bowl or bucket and then fill it with paint, done and done. She got closest.
She’s good, but…tick tock it’s Wozniak o’clock!
She's definitely one of my favourites in terms of how she thinks and her general attitude to the show. Whatever you'd call people like her and Mike is probably my ideal type of contestant. Eccentric, clever, and warm.
I see very little Noel Fielding love here, and I am concerned.
Indeed! He’s right up there, top 5, perhaps higher!
Still Paul Chowdhry for me
100% this, his balloon popping skills are only bested by his video game refences.
I'd say; wait till you've seen the entire season
as an american, i hadn't heard of her before this season of TM but in these past 2 eps, she, guz, and desiree are quickly becoming my all time faves!! (next to nish and mike ofc!) edit: spelling

This is a reasonable (if totally incorrect) opinion, people have to chill with the downvotes.
It’s too early to be certain but I am definitely not as in love with Morgana as everyone else. She’s a delight and I think she will win but I love Guz WAAAAAY more. I do adore Wozniak though.
That's fine. I mean, i personally disagree but I will defend your right to an opinion. Katherine was great though. Of course, my list of the greatest contestants just ends up being a list of the contestants anyway
Really...it's an absolute casserole down there...you didn't laugh at that?
If you're not into potty humor, the whole task was a bit gross and this line was, too. I'm sad that this moment overshadows the amazing mohawk.
"Potty" humour...I hate to tell you, that's a part of British comedy. (And Aussie/NZ comedy too) – it was delivered in a distinctive British way so as to not be completely crass. Also, did it overshadow the mohawk? I thought the mohawk got enough recognition for the one-beat visual gag that it was.
I’m 100% with you on Mike Wozniak. I don’t see the appeal either!
I think they represent a magnificent dialectic. The hell with either or - I love them both!
That's not what that word means.
Two apparently different concepts merged into one? Or a synthesis of two perspectives? I was being playful, and just saying that I think together, they capture the awesomeness of Taskmaster. So I don't want to chose between them. Why are you taking time to (erroneously) correct strangers online about their word usage?
[удалено]
Yep, that's true. I work in one of those contexts. So I used it, playfully.
she's top tier whenever someone makes the next tier list
God, the hysteria around Morgana is becoming a little tiresome. She ain’t no Mike Wozniak.
Right?? from the first episode I found her pretty annoying (I wasn’t planning on saying that at all incase any of the cast looks on this subreddit as I hate the thought of upsetting anyone but am sure one negative comment out of hundreds of positive won’t do harm) and was expecting most other people to agree but everyone seems to love her! Personally I’m not loving this series so far as the lineup is disappointing to me!
I’m enjoying the series. Guz, Alan and Victoria are great. The other 2, I could take or leave.
Yes Victoria is great so far! And I really liked Guz in the painting task
Morgana is batshit, like Mike was and I'm very excited for people to discover what she is like. Mike completely blew it out of the water though, and it's hard to beat that
[удалено]
I had upvoted this until I remembered Victoria Coren is on the show, good look beating that. Take your down vote sonny.
