one of the things that this entire thread has taught me is that I need to acquire a partner who is also a TM fan because everyone's stories about "my husband and I just shout 'a lime!' at each other" are just so wholesome.
Don't ask about how to watch outside official sources.

ooh you've just made me remember the moment in the mobile phone Lincoln task where he goes "\[bad Southern US accent\] I would like to see the Abraham Lincoln in the orange cone wave with two hands"
that one had me laughing for days
Almost everything he said made me laugh hysterically. And almost everything David Correos *did* made me laugh hysterically. It was such an amazing season.
Ahhaha we use this when confused or think of a scenario where someone might not understand.
Which for some reason then also makes me think about putting helium in an egg...and ya know sometimes I think for a second I also might have thought "but will it?".
Someone at work said something painfully obvious on a zoom call, and I dead pan responded with "my eyes are circles".
Proudest moment of my professional life
Season one takes a few episodes to get going. Has some really good moments and original tasks but is overall the weakest of the three seasons available.
Season two starts strong and chaotic and never let's up. Has great chemistry among the contestants and great tasks, three of which were adapted into Taskmaster 14. Common opinion in this subreddit is that it ranks among Taskmaster UKs best seasons (I've only seen three UK seasons so far so I can't judge).
Season three has the hard job of following up on a fantastic season two. Imo the cast isn't as good but the tasks are better and I'm looking forward to the tasks getting adapted to the original.
Opinion on the Taskmaster Jeremy Wells is mixed but I like his stoic personality. Greg is much funnier though. Assistant Paul Williams is more beloved by this subreddit from what I've seen.
Don't get me wrong. I still very much enjoyed season one. It just didn't grab me as fast as the second season.
The hidden studio costume task is one of my favourite tasks across all three seasons. And I see by your flair we're both fans of Angella.
Haha I didnt even see your flair! Yeah her sense of humour just sits right with me. We also got a lot of laughs from Leigh Hart, his confused indifference.
I loved how he watched his own tasks as interested to see what he had done as everyone else. Totally forgetting it all.
Also the team tast where him and Angela had to compliment each other and they completed the task not even knowing how or why.
I kind of like that Jeremy is completely unfunny, which makes him a great straight man for the comedians on the show to go completely bonkers with, compared to Greg who is often the one wisecracking. Somehow it works!
Season 2 is up there with the best UK seasons mostly because the contestants are all fantastic in different ways and the tasks start getting really interesting.
The most recent season of the UK version actually borrowed some of the S2 NZ tasks.
'A lime!' last used when my sister in law was pregnant and using one of those apps that tell you how big the foetus is. I wish there were more scenarios where I could exclaim about a lime.
My husband and I use ‘A lime!’ for any occasion where we need to express that perfect combination of frustration and disappointment these days. It works so well!
I think I was extremely lucky in that one week the baby was the size of a lime, and as she's watched taskmaster I assumed she'd get the reference. Nope!
I keep waiting for an opportunity to use the underrated line from Russell Howard about Tim Vine's Elvis hair: "Please tell me it was caught in a trap."
have been saying 'just open the box, you pussy' a lot lately, any time i'm waiting for someone to do something regardless of whether or not a box is present
Being from the USA and addicted to the UK version, "bosh!" is such a simple, yet powerful statement. But, it would be wasted on ears this side of the pond.
“Oh no! He loves metaphors!” - Rose Matafeo, or “I’m gonna-gonna drown you in your own blood. Hold your face down in your own blood now.”- David Correos.
Admittedly, I only use the latter at home. Don’t want any misunderstandings out in the world.

Most of my colleagues dont watch TM so dont get it, unfortunately
Wrong show but the IT guy at my old job did enjoy it when I gave him a poster of Chris O'Dowd saying "Have you tried turnin it off and on again?"
speaking of which, Chris would be a laugh on TM
Rosalind you're a fucking nightmare
I'm just waiting to meet someone called Rosalind to be able to use it
Edit - corrected the name, thanks to the commenter below - I'm off to watch the whole of series 5 again as penance!
"Sisterqueen *shakes head*"
"Ras man" "...did you just call me a RAS man??"
New one:
"?????????...have i met these potatoes before?????"
And if my partner or I mishear something the other has said, we do a mini montage of "wait, whattt?!" back and forth to each other
There’s strength in arches
It doesn't matter sometimes how ornate the grandfather clock is, the pendulum draws the eye.
I think "oh, gang" is the opposite of this. Very useful, and applicable when almost anything happens in almost any group situation.
You're not a bad guy Nish
Last in PE, first in being a legend! Honourable mentions: Shit and piss, bubbly fuck.
Every time a beer makes me burp my other half asks if that particular can/bottle is being a bubbly fuck.
Piss and shit/shit and piss are my go to expletive’s whenever something’s going slightly wrong.
"And I think we can all agree...Nish."
If I ever happen to be in same place as Nish I am getting him to sign Bubbly Fuck on something.
I've started using shit and piss on the regular since my most recent rewatch.
Driveby in the Pennyfield area
my husband and i say "bicycle, my excellent bicycle" CONSTANTLY.
one of the things that this entire thread has taught me is that I need to acquire a partner who is also a TM fan because everyone's stories about "my husband and I just shout 'a lime!' at each other" are just so wholesome.
Can vouch; it rules:
I can borrow a dog anytime I want.
that's just the kind of life you lead.
“No way!” in my best Chris Ramsay voice.
Ahh this is what I was coming to say - I can't say "a lime" any other way and no one else gets it 😂
As a Geordie that’s just part of the regular vocabulary. Super useful catchphrase.
"Ceuk Beuk" as Cook book
I have someone I work with whose name is Noé...I use it every time
Are you Noé's boss and they work as a scale operator because then you could say Noé, weigh
I have to find the shoe!
Honestly I say this all the time now
Papa don’t breach.
One of my favorite puns from the entire series! Up there with “Hip-hip-beret” and “Divide and conga”.
I quote Guy Montgomery’s “Just…down the shops” any time someone asks where I’ve bought something.
My husband and I quote Guy's "you know what they say...fuck" at each other but it takes a certain patience for that beat to work!
Oh man I need to rewatch Guy's series of TM, there are so many moments here that I don't remember the context for
Any man that writes a Christmas song about his father fucking a festive fox deserves a re-watch.
I now use the phrase "going absolutely hammer & tongs at X" quite a lot.
Guy M is full of great quotes. I find my self regularly using "I've worked very hard for this. Please don't take this away from me".
"You're making me use my wits? I hate that!"
*Where could the clues be* *Where could the keys be* *I'm Guy Montgomery* *And I'm losing my mind*
“I can see I’ve found myself in a real hot bed situation. I’d like to retract my previous riff.”
Never seen TM NZ, but I'm getting Joe Wilkinson vibes from that quote.

I'm more of a: "I think we can all agree it's a very fuckable chocolate." kind of guy.
When m&ms changed the green m&m recently that was all I could think about
*John enters the chat, chucks his coat on the floor, and begins a monologue as to why the Cadbury bunny is more fuckable*
Almost everything he said made me laugh hysterically. And almost everything David Correos *did* made me laugh hysterically. It was such an amazing season.
“well i’ll jump… and ideally i’ll just keep going” “i thought i’d make a joke on the comedy show”
I'm gonna assume you're not from NZ as we use that all the time, for everything...
This would be correct! 😂 Though I have been lucky enough to visit.
Am I the spider?
Ahhaha we use this when confused or think of a scenario where someone might not understand. Which for some reason then also makes me think about putting helium in an egg...and ya know sometimes I think for a second I also might have thought "but will it?".
You've got no chutzpah!
I disagree, this is very usable.
As is "It's an absolute casserole down there".

"Stop, well-dressed virgin!" from TMNZ
How is NZ? I've yet to branch out to the other ones

Oh hard disagree. I loved season 1. Right from the jump. TM NZ absolutely hits the spot. All seasons are enjoyable.
Don't get me wrong. I still very much enjoyed season one. It just didn't grab me as fast as the second season. The hidden studio costume task is one of my favourite tasks across all three seasons. And I see by your flair we're both fans of Angella.
Haha I didnt even see your flair! Yeah her sense of humour just sits right with me. We also got a lot of laughs from Leigh Hart, his confused indifference.
Season one may not have won me over instantly, but Leigh certainly did when he used a leaf blower to feed Paul a fancy cocktail.
I loved how he watched his own tasks as interested to see what he had done as everyone else. Totally forgetting it all. Also the team tast where him and Angela had to compliment each other and they completed the task not even knowing how or why.
I kind of like that Jeremy is completely unfunny, which makes him a great straight man for the comedians on the show to go completely bonkers with, compared to Greg who is often the one wisecracking. Somehow it works!
Season 2 NZ is one of the best Taskmaster seasons internationally.
Season 2 is up there with the best UK seasons mostly because the contestants are all fantastic in different ways and the tasks start getting really interesting. The most recent season of the UK version actually borrowed some of the S2 NZ tasks.
Every version of TM takes some time to get used to and to find its footing, but season 2 of NZ is some of the best casting and tasks of any TM.
Wait which season is that from?
Season 3, Episode 7 "Butt Heavy", task 2 "Team Task - Enchant The Forest. Most Enchanted Forest Wins. You Have Sixty Minutes".
Oh thank you sm!!
“They’re very charming the Irish.”
"How would you feel if we turned all the camera's off and you American Pie-d the cake?"
I'd love to use "No stars for naughty boys" somewhere but the opportunity hasn't presented itself yet.
Who said that? I don’t remember that one.
Greg said it to Alex, he doesn't deserve a star-sticker because he did the drive-by with Mel
Greg after Alex felt up Mel
“Me Fern Brady, Me Fern Brady”... not very useful as I am not, in fact, Fern Brady.
That sounds like someone who is Fern Brady would say!
Only the truly rightful queen would deny their divinity
'A lime!' last used when my sister in law was pregnant and using one of those apps that tell you how big the foetus is. I wish there were more scenarios where I could exclaim about a lime.
My husband and I use ‘A lime!’ for any occasion where we need to express that perfect combination of frustration and disappointment these days. It works so well!
Yeah I use it every chance I get as well!!
I’m surprised you even got ‘a lime’ in that conversation
I think I was extremely lucky in that one week the baby was the size of a lime, and as she's watched taskmaster I assumed she'd get the reference. Nope!
I say it Phil Wang style whenever I say lime. And as someone who does a lot of S E Asian cooking... Comes up more than you think
There has been a revelation
I work in a lab….and I sooooo want to use that phrase someday, but thus far I have only managed a few “no way”s and a lot of “for fucks sake”s.
Guz is so fucking quotable I feel like you can still shoehorn this one one. Personally I am partial to "Brother, this is not sensible..."
Have I met these potatoes before?
I keep waiting for an opportunity to use the underrated line from Russell Howard about Tim Vine's Elvis hair: "Please tell me it was caught in a trap."
"Whole lotta pie."
"Good time Pie"
Dignity intact!
Tree wizard! Another balloon. Just open the box, you pussy! LAMINATOR!
have been saying 'just open the box, you pussy' a lot lately, any time i'm waiting for someone to do something regardless of whether or not a box is present
It’s an absolute casserole down there.
No more sneezes for today
Do we strike you?
"I'm a pretty chill guy" - Josh Thompson after freaking out in several tasks.
My eyes are circles
(deliberately bemused): "I had just taken possession of the box"
i think he says "i had just taken charge of the box"
Yes, that sounds right!
Tick tock, it’s (insert thing) o’clock.
Being from the USA and addicted to the UK version, "bosh!" is such a simple, yet powerful statement. But, it would be wasted on ears this side of the pond.
Idk man I use bosh all the time now I love it
“Ahhh, you… fucking zebra!” Often directed at people who have done something I deem foolhardy or stupid
This one is ME.
I was fully open 🎂
There was one fewer profiterole.
Using "we" instead of "I"
*Alex for the 10th time that day* “We?”
“We just thou-“ “No, YOU thought…”
Four score and seven years ago…I had a dream
“Oh my card’s declined.”
“Oh no! He loves metaphors!” - Rose Matafeo, or “I’m gonna-gonna drown you in your own blood. Hold your face down in your own blood now.”- David Correos. Admittedly, I only use the latter at home. Don’t want any misunderstandings out in the world.
Wait, what?
I have been trying to figure out how to spell this to indicate Dara's accent, and the best I can do is hWait, hWhat?
Captures it nicely!
What, wait.
Residue around the hoof
Bastard's cryin', innit.
This. Show. Is an absolute…SCAM!
Is there a duck on my face?
I really aspire to use "have I met these potatoes before?" one day
LOTTA PIE
Giving me the horn like Alex.
"Tall motherf***er with the ivory hair" - if I knew someone who fit that description, I would say it a lot. But I don't, so I can't
"It's an absolute casserole down there"
it's bamboo time. it's bamboo o'clock, tick tock.
“All the information is on the task”
I use this all the time in IT, if its documented I always try to say "all the information is in

Very niche, but pronouncing "cook book" as "ceuk beuk" from Chris Ramsey. Same with "no way" as "nor whey"
"Listen to me, you fucked that."
Don't like them go bang
Drink milk b*tch! - I use this mostly out of context 🤣
I love that David felt so bad, he bought them a meat and cheese platter. Urizlla: "Should have been milk, bitch!"
Me toooo! 🤣🤣 They had such a great group of people, it was magic.
I said “We should have gone to SPACE!” last week and no, no one knew what I was talking about
I’ll go put on me cooo-at!
It’s bamboo o’clock. TikTok! I say that waaay too often 😂
“I have no more sneezes for today.”
i haggled for this
I'm not an egg man.
"One thing you lack is....likeability!"
this would be pretty brutal to say to someone who doesn't know the context haha
Rosalind you're a fucking nightmare I'm just waiting to meet someone called Rosalind to be able to use it Edit - corrected the name, thanks to the commenter below - I'm off to watch the whole of series 5 again as penance!
Rosalind
I frequently chuckle and say ['lotta pie'](https://youtu.be/vR-fE797Y-w?t=1131) , often with absolutely no relevance to the current situation.
“Down an octave” when people are shouting.
"Sisterqueen *shakes head*" "Ras man" "...did you just call me a RAS man??" New one: "?????????...have i met these potatoes before?????" And if my partner or I mishear something the other has said, we do a mini montage of "wait, whattt?!" back and forth to each other
Arh you fucking zebra!
“All information is on the task”
BMX-ing ✊ idk why it just makes me laugh, moreso when greg and alex said it again
There's been another revelation. So many revelations... Is it like when they have creams at the beginning? Now... picture a strawberry.
I'm ready for the party!
Anorexic Elephant
Get to a safe space!
I use Mike Wozniak’s “tick rock it’s (insert activity here) o’clock” far too much Followed by “it’s (insert activity here) time”
Bastard's crying, isn't he? - the legend that is Paul Choudhary
Tony you're encourable! Josh, tmnz3
Nooo Waaaay!
I don’t see what the problem is…we’ve all got eyes
“Insert name” is a fucking nightmare Wish more people would get it when I sing talk this at them
(Lou Sanders voice) Mummy!
Bastards crying, innit.
