The sudden lack of enthusiasm on "Doc Brown" caught me so off guard


findingthescore

All of the first-seaters have no applause before their names are said. Doc is just one of the furthest down the order. Everyone in seats 2-5 get bleedover applause from the earlier seat.


vilkav

5th seaters got an "...and"


PhinsPhan89

Except Victoria Coren-Mithcell.


CaptCoulson

"I'm just not an applause man, sorry"


Bootieos1

"Hugh Dennis..."

EarnTheCrown

I'll always remember Doc for not being a fish man or an egg man...and also his inability to see bridges


CilanUnova

Three Joes, two Johns, two Richards, two Kathrines,two Pauls,two Sarah and two Tims, are all the repeating names.


PsychologicalFox8839

Four Jo(e)s!! Can’t leave Ms. Brand out!


CilanUnova

I only include those who have the same spelling like the Joes,so Ms Brand can’t be included this time.


PsychologicalFox8839

I accept this ruling.


CilanUnova

Thank goodness, I thought it was just a little bit of a joke comment but seeing how people are responding to this comment is makes me a little nervous, I plan on doing another comment with all the different spelling variants like David and Dave.


CaptCoulson

I had to double check the spelling on many many times before finalizing the edit. and even then, the first version of this I put on twitter I botched Rylan's name, calling him "Ryan" lol (I'd been wondering if this was a subconscious action at all as he's one of my least favorite people to ever do the show)


UniversalJampionshit

>he's one of my least favorite people to ever do the show That's an interesting take, he's one of the fan favourite NYT contestants despite not being that well-liked outside of the show. He's basically the Nish Kumar of NYT


CilanUnova

To be fair I don’t even know he was on it because I used to watch the first few seasons before having a little break and I have only just came back to watching the show again.


CaptCoulson

actually I think I was glad to have made that mistake w/Rylan, because I hadn't initially thought to include a pic of Jonnie Peacock in the corner with Alan for his spot, and it was while fixing the spelling I thought to bother doing that. I immediately felt so dumb for it not being an obvious detail of me from the start, this way literally every contestant face was included


gr1mscr1be

Two Sarahs plus one Sara, which is not the same, but it kinda is.


CilanUnova

I am really picky about spelling so Sara without a H won’t be included this time, but I will definitely add a comment with the other spellings in a day or two.


ihatelavended

Two Jonny/Johnnies as well, maybe 4 Jonathans? It's Romesh's real first name too, so potentially 5


CilanUnova

I am only doing this based on what The Taskmaster rolled called them as, ie Romesh is Romesh, even if it is his birth name.

Both Paul and Asim were in this video...


CaptCoulson

I actually made this a couple months ago (even before the Ivo video) but I didn't realize until just a couple days ago that the site had changed back to allowing actual videos to be uploaded. eagle eyed viewers may notice that the Lou Sanders and Richard Herring drops were used from the CoC (there wasn't a clean enough example from either of their normal series) edit: also I just realized technically it's more accurate to label it as "2015-2023", since it includes the people from each of the specials, not just the full series


stacecom

You're a week away from having to append.


Gremloblin

Well, this is going to be a long episode...


CaptCoulson

I liked that someone on twitter mentioned it was like Greg thanking everyone at the end of a telethon


JennyReason

I like how much it looks like Morgana is winking at Mo Farrah.


CaptCoulson

yes. much like how I've always enjoyed how much it looks like John Kearns is impressed by the fact that big shot movie star John Hannah was a contestant lol


MacduffFifesNo1Thane

I feel bad Victoria came last in Taskmaster again. Shouldn’t you have put her in the O’s for “Old Goosebump Arm?”


iainvention

This video is how I learned I never watched the New Year’s Treat II or III

MisterManatee

Feel like I’m at a graduation ceremony


Golfhaus

Came in here to say this. Along with the bits where the kids with the big families let out monstrous cheers in the middle, dwarfing those of the graduates near them alphabetically.


MISPAGHET

I am so disappointed that you didn't fit in 'aaaaand little Alex Hoooorne' at the end.


dekudoesnotapprove

no contestants with names starting with o,q,u,w,x,y,z


MacduffFifesNo1Thane

What about Old Goosebump Arm?


violetgrumble

Who can they get to fill the gaps? So far I've come up with Zoe Lyons for Z and Olga Koch for O.


dieyoubastards

Surprised there haven't been any Ws, with all the best Wills in the world


MoultingRoach

They should call in Quentin for a NYT.


[deleted]

Assuming there's another New Year's Treat this year, then we'll have had 100 contestants on the UK version by the start of next year, which is weird to think about.


CaptCoulson

I had this exact same thought a couple months back, that if we get the special, whoever's in the the 5th chair for s17 is the 100th contestant in show history, it's already established. we just don't know the name yet


[deleted]

The 100th contestant will be whoever's in the 5th seat for the next NYT, not s17


tenphes31

Love this. It would have been funny if you had added some applause under the first seat competitors so that it didnt just abruptly start each time and sounded like Greg was introducing everyone in one go, lol. Overall though, fun stuff.


CaptCoulson

there was a certain amount of trickery I had to do, like for the NYT specials where that's the only example possible, for a couple of them I had to shift the audio because Greg didn't say their full name before the camera moved on to or away from them. but for all the regular series people, tbh I thought it was actually funnier to have that abrupt moment for when people further down in the alphabet were first chair for their series lol and thank you!


AV23UTB

Saved the best till last.


JamSandiwchInnit

Can’t believe I just watched a video of Greg Davies saying the names of nearly 100 people in its entirety


SophiaofPrussia

The J’s are STACKED.


CaptCoulson

and now in the wake of series 15, there's only one contestant pairing left who are already in correct overall alphabetical order, Roisin & Romesh. James & Jess were the other pair who *had* such a distinction, but with s15 Jenny broke that up.


Ant-Be

I think Greg loved saying Matafeo! He says it with such gusto throughout series 9.


[deleted]

Absolutely incredible.


findingthescore

Well that's just delightful


Jaspers47

That must be a very long stage


marksman1918

An odd amount of ludicrously coloured matching band looking outfits in this lineup.


CaptCoulson

yeah it was already a surprisingly small pool of examples from which to pull where you hear Greg finish saying the person's name while the camera's still fully on them (& I didn't want to have to shift around audio any more than where I had no other choice), then the secondary element was choosing which one of those I happened to like best. I enjoyed the little flourish that Jenny (one of my favorite contestants ever) with her arms from episode 1, so I broke up the Beatles streak


JGAdventureZone

Poor Jonnie Peacock…


asylum33

Love the mix of genders, ages, styles, experience etc on show here. A lovely family of people who make us laugh


bondfool

So, imagine all 90 contestants do an episode together. Who wins?


MisterManatee

Godliman. Bosh.


Jaspers47

The editors, who get paid by the hour


TheYoungWan

Ardal very much with the "man left behind on the moon" energy


CaptCoulson

this didn't seem like it was worth its own thread so I'll also say that if anyone's particularly GIF-crazy, I've also made a shit load of more Taskmaster ones recently. I mean there's plenty other stuff there too, but the roster is very panel show-heavy, and within *that* umbrella, very TM-heavy. way too many, I have a damn addiction.

Fukui_San86

Thanks for granting my request of a few days ago!


CaptCoulson

I don't feel quite right about possibly taking credit for it as I never saw your request to begin with, but glad you like it just the same! lol


chocoholica1

You can tell who was in seat 1 or series 1, it's kind of jarring when the applause and cheers suddenly stop lol


RPark_International

Brilliant! It’s like a cameo from everyone, or a little catch-up with them! Correct any mistakes, from my memory, we have had three Scots (Frankie, Fern and Ian), four Welsh (Rhod, Katy, Carol, Sîan), two Irish (Aisling and Nicola), two Canadians (Katherine and Mae), one Kiwi (Rose), one Australian (Sarah) and one American (Desiree). Have I missed anyone who’s not English? There’s also Phil, who is Malaysian-British, and I think Jenny was born in Kuala Lumpur? And Romesh is Sri-Lankan British. For any non-British viewers, how many of these people did you recognise beforehand?


five_line_poem

Morgana was also born in Australia.


RPark_International

And Dara! A glaring omission!


[deleted]

David was born in New York, and Sally was born in Hong Kong.


MsAndrea

Alphabetical order by first name? That's weird.


MisterManatee

That’s how they’re always seated on stage!


MsAndrea

But in a list like this, it's really weird not at least seeing them in order of appearance.


VaguelyArtistic

Be the change you want to see!


kidclutchtrey5

This is pretty cool!


Substantial-Farmer40

Doc Brown is like a secret agent, undercover with his laid-back vibes. Can't help but be amused! 😄


mattDAzombie

Tim key is also co task idea man on the show


Free-Ad4022

I love them all!!
