@@1992jamo There are two units named pounds, pounds force and pounds mass. Together, they're very convenient for dealing with gravity. The force of gravity on one kilogram is 9.8 N, but the force of gravity on one pound (mass) is one pound (force). Extremely rare case of metric being the headache and English being easy. However, pounds force is the only unit of force in the English system, while pounds mass has to compete with slugs and stones, so by default pounds tends to mean force. It especially means force when used in the phrase, "how many pounds of tension." Alex was correct in using Newtons for force, but wrong in telling Greg force isn't measured in pounds. If you only use pounds for mass, I'm curious-- what unit did you think should be used for force in the English system?
@@johnhalberg6536 That's interesting. I didn't know of pounds force as an actual distinct unit from pounds mass. I had assumed that units like ft-lb and psi were just referencing pounds mass, and the force part was inferred.
@@1992jamo In the U.S., pounds are by default force. The customary unit of mass is the slug (1 slug = 14.6 kg) and represents the mass that would accelerate at 1 ft/s^2 if pushed with a pound of force. In practice, slug is very rarely used, in favor of the lb-mass, as @johnhalberg6536 described
Oh, no sweetie. People don't dislike him because he was good at the game. People dislike him because he was boring, unfunny, uninteresting and unentertaining.
Robins is close friends with Alex Horne. They used to live together and have a shared UA-cam channel where they upload about golf. Alex probably told him about the early idea that later developed into Taskmaster years before the first series got produced.
John makes a great counterfoil to the ones who jump straight in & cause total chaos. I always prefer itvwhen there's a mix of both types - makes it much more entertaining. Plus, he has a great dry sense of humour & doesn't take himself too seriously
I think everyone should know that the back to back hateful comments on John are most likely the same person. That being said, I loved this series. John rocked
Definitely one of the best series. Steve Pemberton’s surrealism, John’s quiet wit and sharp mind (plus his devotion to Queen). Nick’s sweetness and magic, Sophie’s endearing ineptitude that ultimately triumphed, and Joanne’s Rhod Gilbertesque attitude. My favourite contestant varied with each episode.
I normally find the ineptitude more of a bother than a boon, but to say Sophie wore it well is an understatement. Utterly charming. I love how this show turns [for me as an American] the contestasnts from unknown to warmly regarded, to a one.
@mcculloch29…Sophie reminded me of a loud, pissed aunt at a family wedding (espesh when, during her final slut drop on stage, she hoiked her dress up too far so we saw her voluminous knickers!) and Joanne is the loudest, drunkest member of any given hen do…both fun to be with but a bit cringey too!!
It’s fun watching them all run around missing the obvious, but in contrast it’s also fun watching someone there to win, who looks for the weird easy win setups

there was an episode of their podcast a short while ago where they talk about it. And Sophie Willan was a guest. And yes, these moments didn't go unnoticed.
So glad Taskmaster introduced me to Johnny JR Robins! One of my favorite contestants, and now I have hours (nay, years) of excellent podcasts to listen to.
He seems like a nice guy, and I don't know him well enough to hate him like some of the viewers here. But my favorite was Nick Mohammed - funny, a gentleman and just a renaissance man.
hate is a strong word but tryharding isn't the real point of the show. Sarah Kendall for example was fine but despite winning she was not the standout of season 11. That was Mike Wozniack.
@@ObscureReference9 I feel like the point of the show is just to put comedians in entertaining situations, regardless of whether they're trying to win or not.

The winners of the next few series better be really on their games, because I will be very shocked if John doesn't take the next Champion of Champions episode!
I'm already looking forward to Dara vs John in the Champion of Champion of Champions after series 25 because it hasn't crossed my mind for a second that John wouldn't win his CoC episode.
@@nothingtoseehere2336 It will be very interesting to watch John going up against Sam Campbell, as he showed that he was a very good competitor during his series!
Loved this series so much and knew Johnny JR would win as soon as he was announced because he is 1. Friends with Alex and thinks in a similar way. 2. Utterly obsessive to the point where he made his bad golf channel obselete because he stopped being bad. I knew he would win and I couldn't care less, because he is also hilarious.
I love how into the show John clearly was/is. There are many seasons of people who dont know whats going on so its actually more interesting to see someone who really seems to get it
Just watching the episodes isn't enough to make you that good (though he watched all 16 UK seasons in two weeks, I think). He was able to apply his knowledge and improvisational abilities too
For my money this was the best season yet. Despite not being familiar with any of the contestants beforehand they all pretty much instantly appealed to me in one way or another. John and Joanne were standouts, and a special nod to Steve for his crossword prize task.
@@ricopags Oof, there have been seasons where it definitely wasn't all. Some people had an attitude I just didn't like, like they couldn't get into the either the competition or the fun factor, and just were there for the $$.

i find Nick vastly overrated on the entertainment front. Sophie had this creative, chaotic and confused energy. Nick was just bad at most tasks. And John had far more laughs in the studio than Nick. If i had to chose to whose comedy gig/show/program to go, Nick would be in last place of the 5. And not just because of Mr.Swallow.
I love that he ran away with it so completely that Alex's usual trick of spreading the wins out still couldn't stop John from winning more than half the episodes.
Scrolling through the comments... why are so many people so genuinely angry at a silly TV show they don't have to watch (especially not again in this clip show if you didn't like the show in full)? The most baffeling thing is it seems people are angry at completely different contestants and parts of the show. So it's not even joining a hateful internet mob. It's people coming to a clip video of a silly panel show just to be angry. Why? 😅😅
Because some sad people have nothing better to do with their lives than be miserable and spread hate, I really do feel bad for them and I hope they get better
Brilliant, a few lol's and tears in my eye watching this one. Only ever come across John on Radio X and never really got him, but this is amazing, what a guy! 😂😂😂
I love all the guys in this series. I love John because I listen to his show every week. He is very clever indeed and it doesn't surprise me hewon. Nick Mohammed is one of the nicest men ever and also very talented. I loved everyone!
What’s amazing to me is that Alex has a resting heart rate of 63, can lift an entire large adult, and yet has a total dad bod. And he is genuinely weird. Not to mention a really talented musician. No wonder I adore the man!
For the last task, I saw one thing to create hours of tension. Possibly DAYS of tension The clock. A mechanical clock like that depends on the tension of either a spring or in that case weights, which is slowly released by the mechanjcs of the clock at an even rate to tick down the hours, minutes, and seconds. And grandfather clocks like that often go a week without winding. I'd say that would be a lot of tension.
Ehh, I have to admit, I never finished watching this season. I just noticed that I didn't really care anymore.. none of the contestants did it for me and I could barely remember their names even. I liked Nick though, but he was just overwhelmingly nice and even that got on my nerves (I dislike this whole trend where everything needs to be 'wholesome'.. I miss a bit of edginess). But to be honest, I think I've just kind of had too much TM, I feel it would be better if there was 1 season each year, it seems like a never ending train now and I feel things are getting a bit stale for my liking.
JR is totally amazing! Can't wait to see what he's up to next! I wish I was 40 years younger (and female) I would be chasing him all over the UK! 🙋♂️👏👋❤️😍😉💖
Definitely was in it to win it and did his homework. By no means my favourite contestant but he's overtaken Dara as the best Task solver in the show for me
And thank goodness. I honestly don't think he could have borne it if he hadn't - never mind the possibility of his not winning the series championship!! Phew!!! Love John.
lol I never thought fans would actually be upset over who scores what or who wins taskmaster. It’s a comedy show first, the scoring isn’t really all that important in the grand scheme of why it’s so popular.
Would love to see a series/ new year's treat pitting the most shamelessly competitive contestants against each other - Dara, Ed Gamble, Ian Sterling, Ivo Graham, John Robins and Rhod Gilbert
Seeing Rhod's Chaos, Ed's personality and John's brightness on a team for a task. Alongside Dara and Ian's incredible personalities being on a team would be great, I remember liking Ivo but don't remember him too much, I'm sure he'd fit in perfectly though. That would be a perfect little competition for a mini series.
Taskmaster is more fun when funny people take the game seriously. Many contestants that just go out of their way to be funny and silly just makes you cringe.
Is it me or does it feel like even though he won he is the one who fades a bit into the background in comparion of the rest of the cast. I have had that feeling with some other winners of other series but this one really stands out to me.
Well John is both a huge fan of the show & close friends with Alex so he got the gist of the tasks more often than not taking a lot of the "look at the silly comedian doing silly things" out of it that we got expertly from others. It's not a negative in any way, it just formed this narrative of him just being there to do well.
The problem with this show's spin offs in other nations is the exact mimicry. They should have done it their own way entirely with the premises being the same - not the stage but acting like greg and lil alex horne. Also get gavin free and dan the man on this show!
I love that its edited, so that you don't see Nick (vampire) in the reflections

Seeing Rhod's Chaos, Ed's personality and John's brightness on a team for a task. Alongside Dara and Ian's incredible personalities being on a team would be great, I remember liking Ivo but don't remember him too much, I'm sure he'd fit in perfectly though.
That would be a perfect little competition for a mini series.
Glad John Won!
Taskmaster is more fun when funny people take the game seriously. Many contestants that just go out of their way to be funny and silly just makes you cringe.
It turns out that when you know Alex really well, you can figure out tasks.
jon is my favourite contestant the show has ever had i can’t believe people disagree?!?!
Is it me or does it feel like even though he won he is the one who fades a bit into the background in comparion of the rest of the cast. I have had that feeling with some other winners of other series but this one really stands out to me.
Well, there are people who do well, and people who are entertaining, and sometimes, if you're lucky, there's an overlap.
Well John is both a huge fan of the show & close friends with Alex so he got the gist of the tasks more often than not taking a lot of the "look at the silly comedian doing silly things" out of it that we got expertly from others. It's not a negative in any way, it just formed this narrative of him just being there to do well.
Love John been watching him and Alex's golf channel for a few years now and he is a ridiculously competitive fella so no surprise
Lol he stood out as someone who fades and was forgettable🖕 words :)
I mean his humour doesn't really fit the show tbh.
0:29 true dat 😂
For anyone who enjoys golf you may enjoy Bad Golf, John and Alex's YT channel form few years ago.
I miss it.
Joanna is gorgeous
The problem with this show's spin offs in other nations is the exact mimicry. They should have done it their own way entirely with the premises being the same - not the stage but acting like greg and lil alex horne.
Also get gavin free and dan the man on this show!
3:47 Yeah, it's a big arrow and you can see the task in the back at this time. Not the best arrow I've seen though.
He's amazing at darts, I think he maybe in the wrong profession.
I would have noticed the tasks as a giant arrow straight away
To be fair measuring tension in monkeys makes almost as much sense as the imperial system
John was great, love him
He's Really Funny! I would Ike to see his comedy show.
Is the vampire nick mohammed?
i need someone to make accurate inflation calculations and see how they all stack up then
this dude will never be invited back
Seems to be video in your ads
I love dear John
6:56 shouldn't alex have said all the information is on the task
It's like the difference between being clever and being smart
6:15 I think this one is gender fluid... i had to
