I was TERRIFIED of ET as a kid. Those human eyes, that neck... it just sent me shivers down my spine.

So many things wrong with this, starting with "No, you probably have no idea how you'd actually act in a real-life panic situation."
IanWhCandySmasher
For those none UK folk who like Greg/taskmaster/8out10 cats does countdown - you might want to check ‘would I lie to you’ with/without Greg
StephenDaniels
He needs to watch it again. Perhaps the most central theme of that movie was the adult reaction to ET vs the children's reaction.
GrassssssssTastesBad
Thats why its a small child that finds him. Kids will make friends with mud and bugs, they dont care
sheanar
I always felt that way. Hated the film. It was my bro's fave & i was constantly hiding the VHS from him.

I used to love ET as a kid. Even got the poster. But after some time, the eyes on the poster fucked with me, and I can't enjoy it anymore.

Isnt that the set up for the film attack the block?

Greg Davies, from "You Magnificient Beast". It's on Netflix, and it's absolutely excellent.

No. I wouldn't. Spielberg made him too cute. Large head, big eyes. Couldn't seem like a threat even if he wanted to.

So ET was lucky that he wasn't discovered by some asshole. Doesn't ruin the movie yet...

Sound quality is worse than the pixals....wtf?
It's recorded off the TV, i didn't think the quality was that bad.
lMajesty
It's not, it's just some incel being a cunt to make himself feel better, too used to their 4k monitor for simping twitch girls
Also he's complaining of the pixels when one of his only posts is one of the grainiest pictures I've ever seen ?
maxwilder
Well that's what makes it important that a child discovered ET. Elliot was more curious than afraid, more empathetic than violent.
idk man I was terrified of ET as a child. I would have screamed, locked the doors, called my parents and the police.
Aw, I remember my whole class just loved that movie.

Why are the subtitles crooked?
It was recorded from the TV.

He really is the most unfunny, scary comedian we have. His agent is clearly far, far more talented than he is.
Absolutely not, cos ye have some dogshit comedians in the UK but Davies is solid. Love him on Taskmaster
Scary? Really? And Taskmaster is the best thing on TV.

Man... I've worked a lot in the English comedy scene, Greg Davies is a delight, a gentleman, and he sells a lot of tickets.

I'd be interested to know which active British comedians you like

Kevin Bridges is the best right now, James Acaster, Michael McIntyre. Greg Davies is boring
Love James Acaster
I’m with you mate, he’s Not funny

Greg Davies is a delight

MA!!! There’s a weird fuckin’ cat outside. Looks like… looks like grandma, the fucking thing.

Taskmaster is amazing
CurrentlyNaked
Its little Alex Horne
bumCandle
His voice reminds me so much of Rick Mayall. Perfect casting as his dad in Man Down
LoopStricken
Come to think of it, I remmeber the first time I saw him on telly. I thought, hasn't Rik Mayall gotten fat lately? And taller. Hmm.
His face isn't entirely dissimilar too.
thelegendofthetwistednavigator
His impression of Chris Eubank is fucking magnificent. His impression of Peter Andre might be even better
IAmAVacuumForDoritos
Did you see the second time he did his Chris Eubank impression on 8OO10CDC and then Chris Eubank showed up? I've never seen such fear.
I almost pissed myself from laughing.

The algorithm forced TM down my throat. And I loved every fucking episode of it.

Stop adding “The”. It’s just ‘Taskmaster’.

I found out that Alex Horne premiered Taskmaster at the 2010 Edinburgh Fringe, which I just so happened to be at... Didn't see it, though

Apparently he used to just do it with friends in the back of comedy clubs and such.

Freaking love Taskmaster. Watched all the seasons but one, like Season 8 or 9, the one that nobody anywhere has (for US viewers).
You guys can't watch it on youtube?
There's one season that's not on YouTube, and I'm unable to find on other streaming services.
BBC America might have it, but that's pretty pricey and I couldn't guarantee it.
Ahh. Well, there's always a hat you could dust off I suppose.
DubiousFacts
Fucking love that show. Stumbled onto it at random on YouTube and watched pretty much everything there.
Dickbuckles
The American Taskmaster was unwatchable. British Taskmaster is amazing.
SilkyAvenger
Man Down is fucking insanity.Sadly lost Rik Mayall in the middle of its run. His character was bat shit mad and loved it.

I love Taskmaster. Greg's appearances on 8 out of 10 cats are quite epic as well.

I fucking love The Taskmaster. Everyone from season 5 was hilarious. Joe Wilkinson's potato heartbreak. Rhod Gilbert's insanity.

It's the best show! I hate waiting for it each week because I always want more.

I'm so glad I stumbled upon that show a few months back and gave it a go. Laughed my ass off.
Been watching that and 8 out of 10 Cats Does Countdown
stupidfxckwithbrilliantluck
Any good way to stream it in the US?
Like the first 8 series are on youtube, and the more recent ones are being updated regulars. Worth a look.
YouTube has a bunch of series (for free). I think it stops at 10? Each series has 5-10 episodes. Some are great. A few are meh.
mackemforever
If you haven't watched taskmaster new Zealand you should. It's fucking amazing and all on YouTube. Damn near as good as the original
HarmlessPervert
Uh, no. It really isn't...
The series with Bob Mortimer in it is my favourite. He's fantastic
That was the best series. Everyone was hilarious and brought good humor. Especially the song Nish and Mark's song at the end.
I think they were the group that gelled the best.
Well if it isn't LITTLE ALEX HOOOORRRNE

just found it about 3 months ago, binge-watched every episode.
Quite similar here. I haven't laughed this hard in ages!
Orcus424
I'm still annoyed at how bad they screwed up the US Taskmaster. 5 or 6 other countries made Taskmaster work for them but not the US.
Higure
The Swedish is great. The Norwegian is decent.
I watched the Danish one a little while ago and it was fun. Their solutions to the UK tasks are interesting. TIL: There are 9 versions.
There were so many things wrong with US TM; biggest was the 22min episode time was too rushed & show lost its laidback, conversational tone.
Agreed. There were so many problems and it annoys me to no end. I realized to just say they screwed up big time if not I write paragraphs.
I'm terrified they'll try it here in Finland. They did Roasts here, and some of the jokes were just literal translations from other Roasts
There is a Finnish Taskmaster called Suurmestari. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4K5a3JzVah4
Not as good as the UK version, but way better than I expected!
