Never got the appeal and I’m a big fan of British shows like 8 of 10 cats, mock the week, which often features the same comedians. Taskmaster is like white stale bread.

    I enjoy Taskmaster, but I can also see where you’re coming from.

    And I’ve got a couple of new to me shows to check out!

      I really enjoyed the first 8 seasons, watching with my wife, laughing uproariously.

      But it’s really run out of fresh ideas and ways to go.

      Now, sadly, I defrenestrate quite depressingly.

    I read the title as Ticketmaster and was like “yo bro is trolling. Nobody likes Ticketmaster.”

      I enjoy them both, but I feel they are different enough. British humour can be a hard thing to grasp, but the thing I really appreciate is the season long points and the consistent cast.

    Wait, if we upvote does Lemidaub get to take your brain? I’m sort of torn. It’s “reality” TV, after all. It’s a pretty popular thing to hate on, because it’s shit.

      Bad idea, don’t let me do it, I’d just put it in my fridge and procrastinate until it’s mush like the cucumber next to it.

      Also, how is it “reality TV”? It’s a game show.

        I thought it was that weakest link or something. I gave up on TV a long time ago unless there’s a good looking series that’s complete to binge.

    I can’t binge it, but it is fun as it comes out. Helps to be a little drunk.

    My enjoyment depends on who is on it, I have started watching seasons and give up after an episode or two, others I look forward to every week

    I have been a fan of Taskmaster since the beginning, but in the last few UK seasons I totally agree with your sentiment.

    However, I think that AU and NZ Taskmasters are still great. Way better than the UK one!

    I think its a better week to week show and really suffers if you try and binge it.

    I also agree with what someone else said that if there isnt someone on the season you are a fan of that season is going to suck.

    I think it was a fun show and refreshing at first. Got a bit played out
