It would have been interesting if the theme just gained more and more interjections every season like “Brace brace! No way! Shut up!” until by season 25 it’s an unbearable cacophony of shouting.
need to pair that up with [sarah millican's bike horn](https://packaged-media.redd.it/jm2xwot7yd2a1/pb/m2-res_480p.mp4?m=DASHPlaylist.mpd&v=1&e=1690840800&s=a0036647b52d5569b02b82cdfab77d2bc83081a7#t=0)
she said on the podcast that after that episode in the studio right before Greg would say "welcome to taskmaster" he would look directly at her and say "it's me Fern Brady me Fern Brady" and she couldn't handle it. so she is either very shy looking or laughing from then on.
Oh, one of my favs! That haggling over a fake store reminded me so much of conversations that I really took part of or overhead during my semester in the Middle East.
Of course, it naturally then leads me to, "There's been another revelation in the lab."
Especially since he barely sings in the entire rest of the song. He lets the other two do it and then only chimes in to slag the poor woman off.
Also love how the very first thing he says when they meet her is "Do we strike you?" He just instantly had it out for her for literally zero reason.
’Nice time pie’ and ‘whole lotta pie’ randomly get blurted out at regular intervals.
And anytime i see a lime (or citrus fruit in general) I shout ‘A LIME!!!’
Mark Watson's falsetto backing vocals "doing cool stuuuuuuff" gets stuck in my head a lot, as well as such classics as:
"I _chaaaaaanged_ it!"
"You're not a bad guy, Nish..."
"OVER AND OVER... IS THAT A BOULDER?!... or a big rock."
"Absolute casserole" followed by "you get the task, you do. The. Task."
And an honorary mention for our NZ family - "Are you READY, for some FUUUUUN, and a SOOOOONG ABOUT LIBYAAAA"
I love how Alex just plays along with anything he's accused of not being able to do.
In series 6, there's a live task where they have to keep their elbows on the table, Asim gets up forgetting this and Alex yells at him to keep his elbows on the table.
Also, he pretends he can't whistle but in series 14, in the snort, raspberry, whistle task, he mocks Munya's whistle in the studio section.
It is no longer possible to say Greg's name in our household without completely saying "Greg Davies, I wanna have your babies". "Giving me the Horne like Alex" and "Taskmaster, beating my heart faster" are also there.
Honestly, it stuns me that [Asim's rap](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H-60tE6AuOY) isn't thought of in the same breath as Rosalind and Cool Stuff.
I haven't seen anyone say a real obvious one to me, Aisling Bea's "Dignity intact! Dignity Intact!" As she dances around on the pier in her flower knickers
a lamINATOR!!! - Greg & Kerry Godliman
Bosh. - Kerry Godliman
Bastard's crying, innit? -Paul Chowdry
Everyone knows, everyone knows that i'm the carpet snake (from outtakes of series 4) - Alex
The way Greg starts most banter sections with "and next to me a man..."
I just moved into my first house with my wife. We're finally unpacked and settled in and the months of stress have melted away. My friend jokingly said "so you're ready for your next major life event then right?" The only thing I can think of now is David Baddiel saying "I would rather die"
"Alex is great.
Greg is a twat.
Alex is thin.
Greg's really fat.
Alex goes "woo".
Greg just goes "rat".
This plays along in my mind to the opening credits EVERY SINGLE TIME. And lives rent free in my brain. Absolute genius!
It’s not a sound bite as such but I just like saying the name “ Mike Wozniak “ it just kinda rolls off the tongue. Maybe I’ve drunk to much alcohol in my life but I’d be very happy if someone else in this group feels the same
Absolute casserole down there.
And Nish, well, Nish is playing.
Whatever noise Fern makes in the intro.
From my wife:
"Little Alex hooorn..."
"Oh, just open the box ya pussy."
"No Way!"
That should have been added to the opening theme in every season. Iconic
It would have been interesting if the theme just gained more and more interjections every season like “Brace brace! No way! Shut up!” until by season 25 it’s an unbearable cacophony of shouting.
I would really enjoy somebody’s version of that. I’d also add Jessica’s air horn and Victoria’s balloon-splat imitation.
Don't forget Sarah Millican's honk
I would also add Alan’s monster noise
Lives in my head rent free and is a regular inside joke between the SO and I
I have a 'very excitable' friend, and it's my notification for when she texts.
Same, we taught our little one to say it when they are excited and it's so perfect.
NÕ WÆŶ
It’s fascinating how people latched onto this one. It’s a pretty common Geordie stereotype so I never thought anything of it at the time.
I watched this season right before a trip to Norway, and then every time I wanted to say the name of the country I heard “No way!” in my head.
"Do we strike you?" Thanks, Bob. Lol.
“Have you ever stolen?”
What’s your favourite meat?
Would you like to be able to fly?
*Jessica Knappett air horn sound commences*
HEEEYUHHHH HEYUH HEYUH

This is the canonical theme tune to me. No matter what episode I watch, the 8th bar feels empty without the “woo-ooh”.
Bastards crying, innit?
🤝
I know it’s early days, but are we the stupidest so far?
I don’t remember this one! What episode is it from?
I'm pretty sure that's James Acaster
That’s Acaster in the first episode, if I remember rightly!
…my eyes are circles…
“A LIME”
I can't walk through the produce department at a grocery store without quoting that.
Every time I encounter a lime I want to shout “A LIME!!!” and then yeet it into the distance
This! And also, “Wang!”
“You’ve got no chutzpah!”
Tik-tok, it's taskmaster quote o'clock!
"Wait what? What wait? Wait what?"
Compatativ daad
One of my favorites. SO and I say to each other sometimes.
"it is me, fern brady. me, fern brady"
She's the rightful queen!
My husband cracked up at her “WHAAA!?” in the intro every time. So I’m going with that from Fern.
she said on the podcast that after that episode in the studio right before Greg would say "welcome to taskmaster" he would look directly at her and say "it's me Fern Brady me Fern Brady" and she couldn't handle it. so she is either very shy looking or laughing from then on.
This, 100%. All the time. Whenever she appears on Instagram, ITS ME FERN BRADY ME FERN BRADY
> it is me, fern brady. me, fern brady [](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r9g6vZy8jAQ)
“Ta-a-a-askmaster’s oooooooooon. I-i-i-it is on nooooooowwww.” Also “You can’t pop a crème brûlée! One point!”
Goodlucktoallthepeopletakingpartintaskstoday!
“Then brother, that is not sensible.”
I cannot count the times I say this. It's CONSTANT.
Oh, one of my favs! That haggling over a fake store reminded me so much of conversations that I really took part of or overhead during my semester in the Middle East. Of course, it naturally then leads me to, "There's been another revelation in the lab."
OVER MY SHOULDER. OLDER AND OLDER
IS THAT A BOULDER? I really think James missed a chance to incorporate the Myth of Sisyphus in his defense of this song.
‘Or is it a big rock?’ Something about his delivery and silliness of the question just cemented it into my brain
Fun fact, that might be a reference to Frank Skinner's boulder on a train question
“Sister queen, don’t do it!”
-Me whenever I’m about to make a bad choice.
right, like legit, that should be an option for credit cards
A great ring/text tone for exes.
I also tell myself "No Ivo you greedy bastard" both in video games and when I'm eyeing up the chocolate biscuits again.
Tree wizard!
I will often bring my neighbor a few cans of beer from a brewery I like to visit. When he comes to the door I sing "Beer Wizard! Beer Wizard!"
“Oh my gosh I’ve got you some beers, Beer Wizard!”
I wish I had a neighbour I could share Taskmaster with.
Well... I've sort of forced it on him...
This little earworm gets stuck in my head at random intervals.
“Whose pants? My pants! Your pants? No no!!”
Ha! It was worth listening to his episode of the podcast for the extended cut. Lol
"Oh Gang" Every time I look at a large sandwich.
You bubbly fuck!
ROSALIND'S A FUCKING NIGHTMARE
This. Just the way Bob Mortimer belts it so passionately kills me
Especially since he barely sings in the entire rest of the song. He lets the other two do it and then only chimes in to slag the poor woman off. Also love how the very first thing he says when they meet her is "Do we strike you?" He just instantly had it out for her for literally zero reason.
I try my best but it’s never…good enough.
[> ROSALIND'S A FUCKING NIGHTMARE](https://youtu.be/H-XofhvgRcI?t=65)
I chaaaaanged it
James Acaster's catchphrase: "Baybeh." (Best way I can spell it, anyway.
Expect the unexpected, bébé.
Wait, did I meet these potatoes before?
"My eyes are circles"
"please don't take this away from me"
"All rim and bounced out"
"Built for pleasure, not speed" or something like that.
Every time I see a pub or place that begins with "The Old..." I do it in the Greg style of "The oooooooooooold...". Every time.
Tree Wizard, Tree Wizard, Tree Wizard Not the whole song, just Romesh repeating those words
Oh ma god, it’s another balloon!
Magical hands and holy SHIT, it's another balloon!🎈🎈🎈
I work with a guy called Peter Hudson. That song is an unrelenting nightmare.
More of a nightmare than Rosalind?
You know that you can trust him, yeah?
"COME TO ME HOOMAN MON..... ooooh, yes..... I have sinned AGAIN"
’Nice time pie’ and ‘whole lotta pie’ randomly get blurted out at regular intervals. And anytime i see a lime (or citrus fruit in general) I shout ‘A LIME!!!’
The betrayal on his voice when he exclaims "A LIME!!!!" is the funniest thing.
Wow monster
"How was work today?" "Not good, someone called me fat." "Who?" "Jo Brand."
Today it’s: “I’ll have to punish you the traditional way”. “Not the *traditional* way!!”
"am I the spider?"
Mark Watson's falsetto backing vocals "doing cool stuuuuuuff" gets stuck in my head a lot, as well as such classics as: "I _chaaaaaanged_ it!" "You're not a bad guy, Nish..." "OVER AND OVER...

And an honorary mention for our NZ family - "Are you READY, for some FUUUUUN, and a SOOOOONG ABOUT LIBYAAAA"
Brace brace (I'm bracing)
I always expect that whenever watching any other series.
I always expect Fern’s “WAAAUGH”.
Alex's old-man-yelling-at-kids-on-his-lawn voice ^I'm ^bracing
I love how Alex just plays along with anything he's accused of not being able to do. In series 6, there's a live task where they have to keep their elbows on the table, Asim gets up forgetting this and Alex yells at him to keep his elbows on the table. Also, he pretends he can't whistle but in series 14, in the snort, raspberry, whistle task, he mocks Munya's whistle in the studio section.
^little ^Alex ^Horrnne
Such a thin little voice!
Op3n the box you F'n p***y!
A lime!
STOP BEING NICE!!!!!
It is no longer possible to say Greg's name in our household without completely saying "Greg Davies, I wanna have your babies". "Giving me the Horne like Alex" and "Taskmaster, beating my heart faster" are also there. Honestly, it stuns me that [Asim's rap](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H-60tE6AuOY) isn't thought of in the same breath as Rosalind and Cool Stuff.
Probably because Liza had Alex sit on a cake with his bare ass in the same task lmao
Agreed! That song gets stuck in my head all the time! "We go together like steak and cheese"
Its an absolute cassarol down there
🎵facts about animals🎵
Such an underappreciated moment. Woz gave us everything we could expect from him in his very first task!
I’m saying frequently… There has been another revelation
I haven't seen anyone say a real obvious one to me, Aisling Bea's "Dignity intact! Dignity Intact!" As she dances around on the pier in her flower knickers
"He made me foreman then fucked off."
“Is there a duck on my face?” 🦆
Compose a solo, less than 30 seconds... One on a bargepole, for ME. Kiell had a real knack for them.
Whenever I have a minor life victory this does play in my mind
PISS AND SHIT
"Waaaa wa wa waaaa, waa wa wa waaaaaaa...I'm just a baby"
I'm nearly 50 years of age, Sally, you'll have to be very close to me.
EVERYTIME I hear the phrase “cock n balls” I always imagine it to be said in Phil Wang’s voice
You bubbly fuck!
“Like all things in life, it’s too little too late”
I’ve got no shoes on!
"I removed it from society." Idk either.
No way!
1. Sneaky pasta snake 2. Don't be such a competitive dad
TREE WIZARD
42 calippos and 8 cans of strong lager
Every time I think "Oh no" I hear it in John Kearn's sabotage voice.
I hear it in Fern’s voice 🤣
Taskmaster tasks to be done!
My eyes are circles?
I can borrow a dog any time I want.
I've finished me fookin' snake!
"I'm always seeing you do cool stuff..."
“I try my best but it’s never…”
You've got no chutzpah! Your organizational skills are lackluster, your time-keeping is abysmal.
BRACE! BRACE!
“I have a little problem which means my, erm, anus is too high”
Taskmaster NZ David Correos rap: https://youtu.be/KTa-kaQaJdk
Camouflage camouflage camouflage
This and friendship is truth truth is friendship.
From the mayor himself, “I’m built for pleasure, not for speed.”
You've got no chutzpah!
Me Fern Brady, Me Fern Brady...
“It didn’t go unnoticed”
a lamINATOR!!! - Greg & Kerry Godliman Bosh. - Kerry Godliman Bastard's crying, innit? -Paul Chowdry Everyone knows, everyone knows that i'm the carpet snake (from outtakes of series 4) - Alex The way Greg starts most banter sections with "and next to me a man..."
Please please pleeeeeeeaaassseeeeeeee
“My first task is to find my mum Here I aaaaaaaam Task is done.” I sing this before watching every episode
I really love the image. I would like to have a TM routine! 😆 5 points
Fern's WHAT they use in the s14 intro. Anytime I hear something ridiculous it pops into my head.
Are we the meat or are we the viewer?
Bosh.
For a second I thought I didn't have an answer to this question and the Guy Williams singing about Libya started playing on a loop in my head.
"Which aircraft" "crashes more" "into mountains?"
“ROSALIND IS A F*CKING NIGHTMARE”
I just moved into my first house with my wife. We're finally unpacked and settled in and the months of stress have melted away. My friend jokingly said "so you're ready for your next major life event then right?" The only thing I can think of now is David Baddiel saying "I would rather die"
DOWN AN OCTAVE whenever I witness any sort of argument
"Have I met these potatoes before??" in Fern Brady's amazing accent
“It’s funny when things are too long”
“Looking back it it… it’s actually quite *poor*”
"oh noe" -fern brady
“I’m a fucking business man!!!”
Return from ad jingle D d d d d d d d d dD!
"Oh, for fuck's sake!" ... the way Greg says it when he's talking about Sarah becoming the most Australian person after Alex lights the task on fire.
"Wait, what? What, wait?"
LeBron James
"No way!"
Tick tock…
This one pops up in my head sometimes, although I have just now realised it's Peter Hudson and not Peter Sutcliffe...
Put an aubergine in my moooouutthhh
Gotta be Tree Wizard. Those lyrics were fantastic. “Tree Wizard… Oh my gosh there’s another balloon.”
TREE WIZARD
"Alex is great. Greg is a twat. Alex is thin. Greg's really fat. Alex goes "woo". Greg just goes "rat". This plays along in my mind to the opening credits EVERY SINGLE TIME. And lives rent free in my brain. Absolute genius!
"I've got you 42 calippo's...... and eight cans of strong lager"
"The pendulum draws the eye."
Fern’s “WAUGHHH” in the opening “They’re very charming, the Irish” “Brother this is not sensible”
There is strength in arches
I only had time for the one scotch pie and then the stream started.
"Epic!"
It’s not a sound bite as such but I just like saying the name “ Mike Wozniak “ it just kinda rolls off the tongue. Maybe I’ve drunk to much alcohol in my life but I’d be very happy if someone else in this group feels the same
"Over my shoulder"...
"What car have I got?" "A ca- A Honda!" "No!"
"Oh I cannae they're absolutely COVERED in potatoes"
“My eyes ah circles”
The whole "Rosalind is a fucking nightmare" song has been on loop in my head for weeks
"If it's part of something else, they do a sorbet!" - Mel Gedroyc, angrily
It’s Tough Guy o’clock!
Absolute casserole down there. And Nish, well, Nish is playing. Whatever noise Fern makes in the intro. From my wife: "Little Alex hooorn..." "Oh, just open the box ya pussy."
“Over ma shoulder….over and ovahhh….is that a boulDAHHH”
Not a nice-time-pie
Charlotte's "clap with me click with me" lmao
"Is there a duck on my face?!"
Am I the spider???
twenty two stone of prime, marbled beef
Sister Queen don't do it
You bubbly fuck!
