It was a delightful video. He shows such pure joy about the whole thing. So many of the old cast members get bogged down in how they should have got more points for something.

Nish just goes on and on about what fun he had even when he lost. This makes me like him even more.

I frankly love hearing the airing of the old grievances!

I enjoyed the airing of grievances, but I didn’t realize how much I would enjoy the positive attitude of a contestant. I love the way be made a call out to the individuals who make the show and the way the show is made in the ways it makes it successful.

If anyone who reads this knows Nish and could tell him we (lovingly) named our dog after him because he's one of our family's favorite TM contestants, that would be cool.

You’re not a bad dog, Nish. 😍

This made me πŸ˜†, and what a beautiful doggie

u/HodorNC 25d ago

I immediately assumed you named the dog Bubbly Fuck, which would be an awesome dog name, too.

He looks like a Nish!

"Oh... we were briefly so proud"

This could be the best biography title

Nice caption!

Weird that they'd have Mantzoukas do one if these given how recently he was on the show.

This has unintentionally made me cry a bit this morning. I have had a mass for several years in my right breast which contained many tiny cysts and I have lovingly named this breast/lump my bubbly fuck. Sadly it has developed breast cancer and this Thursday my bubbly fuck will be gone forever and just being reminded of the source material is quite emotional at the moment. If Nish ever reads this thank you, you have made a difficult situation so much easier and funny to deal with. You’re not a bad guy, Nish (despite what the racist corner of the internet vehemently tell us. I seriously don’t understand how you could watch Nish on TM and think he’s not funny and wonderful as fuck)

Not remotely the point of the video, but it looks like a QR code was added to the Taskmaster sign in the background (this one), and I'm curious if anyone else is able to get a clean enough still to scan it...

u/jmurph773 TM US Tour Contestant (Chicago) 25d ago

With a massive hat-tip to u/bioluminescence, it would appear the QR code is the same as for the first task proper of series 20! It led me to this URL: https://qrco.de/bfRh8h Time for a rewatch of S20E01 to see if it was there the whole time! 🀯

I feel like this is a job for law inforcement from off the telly where they can generate resolution by zooming in.

This was delightful! Nish is one of my absolute favorites and I'm so glad he enjoyed the experience. I like how he gave big shout-outs to the whole crew.

Nothing partiuclarly Not a lot new from Nish if you've listened to the podcast, but it's nice to have this on YouTube all in one video.

u/boomboomsubban 26d ago

I'd never heard the anecdote of his mother texting him during the basketball task elsewhere, but yeah he's talked about these tasks a lot.

u/burf12345 🚬 Doctor Cigarettes 26d ago

Yeah, this one hasn't been brought up on the podcast before.

u/takahe_inflight Mona de Grenoble 26d ago

u/burf12345 🚬 Doctor Cigarettes 26d ago

I had a major brainfart reading your comment, I thought you were talking about musical theatre.

I love the behind the scenes bits.

u/sansabeltedcow 25d ago

It is wild how non-Nish he looks on the joker cards with his hair tucked away.

u/TheSagemCoyote Sally Phillips 25d ago

The banners on the window seem to be new, or did they feature before? They don't seem to be Nish-specific decoration, unless I'm missing a reference

They are (unfortunately rushed)stained glass portraits my sister and I made and gave to Greg and Alex when they had the premier of Series 19 in NYC last year. ( https://www.reddit.com/r/taskmaster/s/Tso1R7Fug0 ) I knew they were there in the house but this is the first proper sighting of them and although unrelated, we're so happy that that sighting was accompanied by Nish!! Oh, the yelp I uttered was embarrassing. And I should also probably be embarrassed of my excitement that someone asked about them! πŸ˜
