    I feel like he wouldn't be anywhere near as good as TaskMaster if he wasn't as sweet as he genuinely is. If he was actually a mean-spirited dictator, the show would lose its mischievious and light-hearted air that allows the audience to laugh when someone does something dumb because they are human or when he does judge unfairly for shits and giggles. It's never mean-spirited because he's an actually arrogant and spiteful person but, rather, because it's funny and everyone's fair game, including him.

      If Greg thought for one second someone was genuinely upset (Katherine ryan, for example), he'd be shutting the whole thing down, as would alex.

    Greg Davies is a gent and a scholar. No matter how evil or bad ass he’s trying to be, it always comes across as if he’s about to p!ss himself with laughter.

    The UK is truly the king for comedy panel shows, although the genre originated in America. As a country, many here in the UK just idealise wordplay above anything actually physical, glamourous, totally serious. It's a decadent luxury of the UK , in a way, a hangover from the 1700s/1800s, that sound waves, whether by our comedians , actors, or singers, are such a major currency to us and , in the modern world, our schools and universities, beyond just Oxbridge, seem to have been good incubators of this.

    • @Picnicl
      @Picnicl 6 років тому

      Well what a relatively eloquent ass I have then, Snakebute08. Criticise what I have to say by all means (and quietly think that you'd do other things in life by all means - but what difference does it make?) but at least do it logically with evidence instead of giving the impression that anything that sounds 'high falutin' would be dismissed by you regardless of its truth. So let's get this straight if you think everything I said was twaddle. You must therefore think that there is a country other than the UK that is the king of panel shows. You must REALLY highly rate the American Whose Line Is It Anyway then! Or is there another country you want to tell us about? Also, you reckon that, no, actually, the UK is quite glamourous and serious. Yet you do nothing to prove this point by using 'earthy' language. Next, you don't reckon that the 1700s and 1800s saw the direct precursors of modern day parlour games? Despite the 1700s being known as bawdy (see the play The Recruiting Officer) and the Victorians being known as pleasure seeking? Maybe what I have to say belongs more in a book than a comment on a comedy show whose irreverence gives you the view that your own irreverence is welcomed or holds truth. Don't think that I always talk like this by the way. But I was making a point about history of the genre and I didn't feel the need to write in the simplest way possible. Would 'Panel show games are older than some might think in origin, you know?' have been better for you? You think I'm hopelessly up myself and want to pull me down to your fetid level. Fetid because you are simply not polite. How does your poisonous mind even enjoy Taskmaster?

      Theres 2 Trumps, theres the real Trump, the one that is responsible for 4 peace deals, who didnt start any new wars, who created economic zones to lift minorities out of poverty, who spent years of his life promoting and lifting up black business men.
      Then theres the media version of Trump created out of quote mines and straw men, just for saying what Bernie Sanders said for years. Open boarders harms workers. Sanders didnt get labelled a racist for that, but if anyone on the right tries to say the same thing its the first thing the left jump on. How dishonest and decieptful
