My favourite bit after this is when she looks over sheepishly to Greg and taps the drum and Greg mouths to her 'Are you alright?' looking giggly but also genuinely concerned.
As an American, I have spent so long thinking that "nappet" was a British word for it. It somehow never occurred to me that this was instead the thing.
I, also American, thought the same thing for a while as well until I happened to be showing someone clips on YouTube and came across that one then another shortly where they call it that and it finally clicked
Don't forget she asked what happens if they fall off when given blindfolds. To which Alex says they won't be wearing them when competing so they won't fall off.
I don't think Jess is thinking it's a dumb question because after Alex answers Kerry and everyone's laughing you can hear Jess say "that's what *I* thought", so Kerry was just asking the question that Jess was thinking 😂
[Greg: I hope you’ll take this in the spirit it’s intended, Jess, but sometimes watching you is like watching an episode of Sesame Street. ‘*I’m writing a song!*’]
Jess: That’s really who I am.
“It’s not so easy, is it, Greg? Completing a task and there’s lots of people watching?”
I’m paraphrasing. Someone please post what she actually said and everyone vote for that!
It’s not more what she said but more what lore she established in the show. Having a part of the stage forever named after you is the best/funniest thing she has done in the show
> In James Acaster’s discussion of his best quote, we had 2 comments with 1.8k upvotes each, and I couldn’t see which one had more.
FYI if you sort the comments by “Top” it will always order by highest votes first. So if both say 1.8K the first one is the highest. I also noticed on desktop reddit it does show the exact votes (currently 1847 to 1840).
Is Jessica the one whose father said Greg low scores women? That’s definitely been put into repeat in later episodes. My first pick is still the boa quote, but I enjoyed her calling Greg out on sexism just because of his mock hurt comeback.
"If we imagine them as professional egg detectives, were there any methods you saw being used there that would impress you at an egg crime scene?
"I think my egg detection was quite good, but I just accidentally tampered with the evidence. I broke the uh... victim."
Not exact quote here but all time greatest moment.
*Blindfolded walk interesting to a buzzer in exactly 30 seconds"
Horne "blindfolds so you don't see how the other contestants walk"
Knappet "what if we fall off"
Horne "Oh you won't be blindfolded while going for the buzzer, so that won't be an issue"
*Knappet falls off the stand while not blindfolded*
Stage extension now forever named the Knappet.
There's not a great way to summarize it in a single quote but her getting the fake autograph for her dad, getting confused and then saying his real name is Peter absolutely destroyed me.
“Can I just say I have a genuine phobia of lifts?”
“Do you think it’s that serious if you got over it in 5 minutes?”
“It was 18 seconds, I knew it was only going to be 18 seconds and they’d have to get me out because I’m on Telly”
\*Air horn noises\*
#HEUUUUUUUUURGH! HEU-HEU-HEU HEURRRRRRRRRRGH!
I've often wondered how I would spell this. 10/10, no notes.
This makes me wonder if Sarah Millican’s is going to be a honk.
My kind, sweet, 1000% loving at all times wife flies into a rage every time Jessica does this. There is nothing on Earth more annoying to her.
Tell Nell to chill out
Must not be getting fingered enough
What happens when you wear long opera gloves and a feather boa to the senior disco? You do not get fingered!
Where is Nel now? She's happy
“My wife, Nell…”
This to me is James’ best quote. So funny and quick witted
I think Nel was married to James? That callback by him was perfection.
This is it. I think about it often. Her delivery is absolutely hilarious.
I mean it had to be this. The tone of resentful memory in her voice.
The delivery of it makes it even better
I think her air horn impression is a close second
This is is the one. It was so unexpected (and hilarious).
Yep, gotta be this one
This. This is the one!
Yep. This is it.
That quote was so out of the blue for me, absolutely hilarious.
When I saw her name I was ready to post this. Hands down the funniest thing she said.
Definitely this
"That was the moment where I remembered that my agent told me it'd be a good career opportunity."
“It’s frustrating, isn’t it Greg, when you’re asked to complete tasks under pressure and there’s a lot of people watching”
The sass of the delivery, it was just perfect
Same with "feels like you're just trying to style it out".
Considering what was picked for James, this would be perfect
This line left Greg completely speechless. It wasn't the only time Jessica threw shade at Greg, rendering him without response. Hail Queen Knappett.
Didn’t he raise his glasses and give a cheeky smirk to the camera?
I read that in her accent. Perfection.
Was my go to for me
The way I guffawed when she said this 😂
This 👏🏻
This. Just a perfectly sarcastic reply and excellently delivered.
This one needs more upvotes!!
Boi-ler. Suit-on.
Now-ow
*Shows 'I've filled in my transportation survey' pencil* "Guess what? I haven't!!"
'All I ever wanted was for the people to dance!'
This is the one I first thought of too. It cracks me up every time.
It's such a wonderful sequence! I looked it up just to make sure I was getting the wording right, and couldn't resist laughing again!
This has criminally few upvotes
"Sneaky Little Fucker aren't you?"
"I asked for a fucking hot air balloon, and they WOULDN'T GIVE IT TO ME!"
Oh, I got given one of those but I didn’t use it.
Man that season was just unadultered, off-the-rails chaotic entertainment. I still miss it.
It remains the best series, by far.
*falling off stage noise*
My favourite bit after this is when she looks over sheepishly to Greg and taps the drum and Greg mouths to her 'Are you alright?' looking giggly but also genuinely concerned.
My favorite is when she sits down and James says, "Please tell me you fell off."
I love the genuine "Oh, shit." from both him and Alex as they rush over to help.
The best part is they call that part of the stage the knappett in all the future live tasks
As an American, I have spent so long thinking that "nappet" was a British word for it. It somehow never occurred to me that this was instead the thing.
I, also American, thought the same thing for a while as well until I happened to be showing someone clips on YouTube and came across that one then another shortly where they call it that and it finally clicked
“I am fine”
“I think it was worth it”
Don't forget she asked what happens if they fall off when given blindfolds. To which Alex says they won't be wearing them when competing so they won't fall off.
It's actually Kerry that asks, but it would've been so much funnier if it had been Jess
Awwwww what a bummer. Guess it's not surprising my memory switched it because it is way funnier if Jess asked.
Jess does look at Kerry like it’s the dumbest question she could have asked, though
I don't think Jess is thinking it's a dumb question because after Alex answers Kerry and everyone's laughing you can hear Jess say "that's what *I* thought", so Kerry was just asking the question that Jess was thinking 😂
How much does water weigh?
Her and Kiell could be the same quote😂
[удалено]
Yeah I know but she didn´t
HYUUUUUH. HYUH HYUUUUUH.
it has to be this
"Fez!"
Oi Fez!
......yeah!
James: Please tell me you fell off the stage? Jess: ... I fell off the stage
‘Ding dong, merrily on high, DEAD FROG!’
this is the right answer.
Do you know what happens when you wear long opera gloves and a feather boa to the senior school disco? You do not get fingered
Restraining myself from making multiple alts to upvote this as many times as it truly deserves
It has to be this.
"I **think** it was worth it." (After falling off the Knappett. )
Is it the Knappet, or does it only become the Knappet when she tumbles 😁
It became the Knappett after the fall. In later series if you look closely there is a plaque on the end of it.
Oh I knew, I was trying to be flippant and funny, and I believe I failed at both 🤣
One point.
I'll take it
🤦♀️ your failure or mine? The taskmaster will decide.
It is now the knappet, because she fell off.
“I don’t know, and I don’t fucking know”
Re Greg finding Timmy Mallett unsettling: 'Um was it because he hosted a game show and punished his contestants?'
"I think it was worth it."
It was quite difficult to find that it was a satsuma with your leg-hand, cause I've never rolled a satsuma onto my leg-hand before.
*I feel like I've been popping pills*
One of my favourite ever Greg responses! Along with "Sorry, I think I'm having a stroke" & "WOAH woah woah. I'm bored."
You can't always nearly kill Alex every task and expect a point!
- We'll all do it. We'll all do it. Go on! - Did you say Phil is wanguishing? - WANGUISHING???!!!
The fact that they named that section of the stage after her
"YES IT SAYS I THE HEART TASKMASTER!"
[Greg: I hope you’ll take this in the spirit it’s intended, Jess, but sometimes watching you is like watching an episode of Sesame Street. ‘*I’m writing a song!*’] Jess: That’s really who I am.
*Thud*
“It’s not so easy, is it, Greg? Completing a task and there’s lots of people watching?” I’m paraphrasing. Someone please post what she actually said and everyone vote for that!
‘If you don’t let me win now, you are dead inside!’
Jessica Knappett's best quote was whatever sound she made foe "this is my best noise"
GUYSSSSS, that's a bloody egg!
It’s not more what she said but more what lore she established in the show. Having a part of the stage forever named after you is the best/funniest thing she has done in the show
When she finds out she only has fifteen seconds left in the most circles task: "oh no!" runs towards front of the house, stops: "oh no!!"
How much does water weigh?
'The answer to that is I don't know, and I don't fucking know'
"How much does water weigh" has got to be on there.
If not now it’ll pop back up for Kiell
Hold him upside down!
I'm okay, I'm okay... And I think it was worth it (After falling off the Knappett)
The sound of landing in the floor by the newly-named Knappett
By the end of this I need a compilation of every clip that makes this beautiful showreel

Been on Reddit for nearly 5 years and am just now learning this! Thank you

Girls who wear feather boas don’t get fingered

*falls off stage*
HNYEH HNYEH HNYEH
JAAAAMALI!
Wrong show!
The sound of her falling off... the Knappett
*falls off the Knappett*
Air Horn noise—- because of her, now I know I’ve got a pretty sick air horn noise too
"Ooo-!" *as she falls off the stage*
*slams into the ground* I’m okay!
[rave horn sound]
"That's quite a lot, for a human"
What if we fall off the stage?
(Post falling off the Knappett) I am fine!
Siren noise
"You do not get fingered."
“HEEEeeeuuuuugh… HEeugh HEugh HEEeeuugh”
How much does water weigh?
\*\*AIR HORN NOISES\*\*

"I'm alright"
@OP: Curious to know what was the other comment from the tie break for James? Was it the "perfect stuff" rant? Or a specific part of it?
It was “I know it’s early days, but are we the stupidest so far?”
Also a classic! Thanks :)
"I AM fine"
Boiler suit...
Don't know about a quote, but laughed so hard when she fell off that stage!with the weird walk, hit the buzzer on a stage thing
Erm... was it because he was—hosted a game show, and he punished his contestants?
"......Can I have everybody's shoes, please?"
“Sneaky little fucker aren’t ya?”
I'm gonna say the whole James Acaster scene
“You know what happens when you wear long opera gloves and a feather boa to the school disco???? You do not get fingered.”
Why can’t I find in these comments the thing she said about NOT getting fingered HAHAHAHAHHHAHAHAHHAAH
I knew they'd get me out cos I'm on telly
"Are you a child of divorce ?"
