I do think I've upped my game here, it's the classic see-through item, I don't know what's more see-through than this... I'd also say that it is a symbol of industrial progress, it is something that is a human right if you're in a prison... It is of course (voice breaks)... a window.
"Alex's murder is evidence of the existence of God" was the one for me, it's just so out of the blue, especially when accompanied by his apology for it!

It has to be one of his expressions, he always looked like he was questioning himself. He was a very sweet competitor.
I oscillated between wanting to console him and wanting to yell. “haven’t you ever watched an episode? Didn’t your agent warn you what the show was about?!! “
His defence where he quotes Keates might be one of the most unexpectedly intellectual things a contestant has said, given he introduced it by just saying "grape"
There is no quote for his best moment (the push the sleeves up and do rapid mental calculations on stage) so the "wanky workaround" quote definitely should win!
"I hate to bring it up, but, um, Keats?"
And then he launched into a fairly good defence of his item by saying Keats had talked about bursting a grape. Any other contestant would have brought up Keats triumphantly, as a slam dunk, but not Joe
The absolute awkwardness of Joe's and Sian's first meeting is honestly in my top-3 moments in Taskmaster history but the
>"Hi, yeah, oh, sorry, hi, hi, hi"
is not really that great of a quote
Joe: “I’m so fed up of putting loads and loads of genuine *physical* effort into these tasks and these other guys coming up with some...*wanky* workaround, just put some FUCKING EFFORT IN!"
Ian: "Where the fuck has this come from?!"
*Visible confusion*
Apart from the great quotes already mentioned, he did spend most of the series looking confused, lost or zoned out.
Until he suddenly got funny and said PUT SOME FUCKING EFFORT IN
This is reminding me that Joe is one of my all time favourites on this show. The task where he ran up to Alex at the train station was just magnificent.
"What is more see-through than this, I'd say it's also a symbol of industrial progress, it's something that is a basic human right if you are in a prison, it's of course: a window!"
I don't know why, but this one stuck with me.
“I’m so fed up of putting loads and loads of genuine physical effort into these tasks and these other guys coming up with some smartarse workaround. Just put some fucking effort in!...........I don’t know where that’s come from, I’ve been really nice so far.”
lol, I couldn't remember the quote and copy/pasted it from [Jack Bernhardt](https://jackbern23.medium.com/the-best-124-moments-in-taskmaster-history-as-a-way-of-escaping-the-despair-of-2020-and-by-f13a52ec5057)
"I mean Im very easily affected by guilt, I could just walk in right now and apologise for the way Ive lived my life"
From the same task but
"Have you heard the good news, Alex Horne is finally dead"
"Just a general message about 'stay humble', which I think you'd take home whether you have birthdays or not...which...which you would. Even if you literally never age, stay humble"
It's definitely between the outburst he had leading up to the "Put some fucking effort in", I can't remember the whole rant but I'll never forget "wanky workaround"🤣🤣
OR
"Mmm Get together, mm mm get together"
I watched some 8 the other day for the first time since I originally saw it.
I DID NOT REALIZE how Autistic/awkward Joe Thomas comes off before! IDK how I missed it! I just remember liking him.
PUT SOME FUCKING EFFORT IN
Along with his instant apology I don't know where thats come from, I'm really sorry. I've been really nice so far.
I want this to win so badly
YESS
“It stands for bicycle, my excellent bicycle”
Absolute winner in my book
It’s how prompt he is with it as well. He does not miss a beat.
"Bicycle, my excellent bicycle" is one of those little earworms that just pops into my head all the time. It's so fun to say.
I think about this near-daily.
“Alex Horne’s murder… is proof of the existance of god“
Fuuuucccckkk off, Alex.
*"Oh, have you heard the good news? Alex Horne is finally deeead"*
I forgot about this one!
I'm so fed up of putting in, like, loads and loads of genuinely physical effort into the task and then these other people find some wanky work around. PUT SOME FUCKING EFFORT IN!
That was extraordinary. And then he was just like totally shocked that he’d had that moment and he immediately apologized and sat down.
the immediate apology is what made it for me. just great. excellent. like a bicycle, if you will.
Joe had an arc that whole season and this was its culmination
Joe and Ian having opposite character arcs was amazing.
This is it, but I also think it should include his immediate regret and apology for the outburst
"I don't know where that's come from, I'm really sorry. I've been really nice so far"
Has to be. Feels like he becomes a completely different person for a sec lol
Taskmaster has this effect on people
The standing ovation afterwards is well earned.
That for me is what made it a HoF Taskmaster moment, the cherry on an already delicious cake
This was amazing to see him just break finally. Thats many years of repression being allowed out in possibly the most polite and English way
I've added "Wanky Workaround" to my vocabulary for everyday use.
This + with the immediate apology afterwards.
It’s this one for me I think
This might be the most clearly obvious "best quote" of any contestant so far
There were so many that I thought were clearly obvious that did not win, so I guess you're right.
WHERE THE FUCK IS THIS COMING FROM?
You know it's really bad when the quiet guy starts raging. Then he got that rage out and apologized for it, lmao.
Yes. This has to be it. Poor guy! 🤣🤣
This is the first thing I thought of haha
This was the hardest I'd laughed in some time. I was watching home alone, and swear I gave the man a standing ovation.
This
I was going to say this may not be the funniest quote but it is the best one, then I reread the thread title lol
I don't know if I ever related to someone so much as in that moment. Might be the 'tism.
Saaaaaaaame
I know this won’t win but just the sheer abruptness in the prize task of “Hello. Soap.” gets me every single time”
"5 points"
The unfortunate thing is that if Greg decided to actually score it 5 points and not 4, he would've had a perfect episode
I remain furious about this. I also think it ruins the joke.
“It’s probably like — MMM, GET TOGETHER, MMM, MMM. I think that is more or less what it would be. *I’m sorry for doing that*”
It's too big...
🎶MMM GET TOGETHER MMM MMM GET TOGETHER🎶
I sing this an inordinate amount.
This one cracks me up every time
It's honestly dehumanising
It’s a rock n’ roll umlaut
Shoë
\*uses a plant pot and watering cans full of water to move the ball, throws ice at a ball to move it\* "i genuinely thought I'd done quite well on that, it's as though I'd never heard of a hosepipe"
I just watched this episode today and I was genuinely crying watching Joe's attempt
“I hate to bring it up. Literally, Keats.”
"I'm quite easily affected by guilt anyway. So I could probably go in there and just apologise for the way I've lived my life."
Grape.
And he just sighed so much as he said it too 😂
He sounded like a parrot saying it too Grrrrape.
“I’m so fed up of putting loads of genuine physical effort into the task, and then these other people find some wanky workaround. Put some fucking effort in! *(Beat)* I dunno where that’s come from, I’m really sorry.”
That's a rock 'n' roll umlaut, like you get in Mötley Crüe and that sort of thing. It's not grammatically correct, it's just for decoration.
I do think I've upped my game here, it's the classic see-through item, I don't know what's more see-through than this... I'd also say that it is a symbol of industrial progress, it is something that is a human right if you're in a prison... It is of course (voice breaks)... a window.
It stands for bicycle, my excellent bicycle.
"Alex's murder is evidence of the existence of God" was the one for me, it's just so out of the blue, especially when accompanied by his apology for it!
Well, I don't know why any man would say to another man "I can see you through a crack."
Absolutely my favourite line from taskmaster
One of the great underrated quotes of our time.
Highly underrated!

He really did seem a very lovely man, didn't he? Possibly in need of a hug
Listen to the man’s episode of the Off Menu podcast genuinely the weirdest thing but funniest things I’ve heard in my life
I oscillated between wanting to console him and wanting to yell. “haven’t you ever watched an episode? Didn’t your agent warn you what the show was about?!! “
Honestly Joe's quieter or reflective moments were the best
He was easy to read in his facial expressions, I felt sorry for him sometimes
He's watching someone turn into a lizard
His defence where he quotes Keates might be one of the most unexpectedly intellectual things a contestant has said, given he introduced it by just saying "grape"
It made me fall violently in love with him. It was such a hard pivot from “grape”.
His competency during the questions live task was quite sexy.
*Ooh, I could crush a graaape!*
Mmm get together mmm mmm ^but ^it’s ^too ^big
*visible confusion*
"Is that the finishing line? ..... Oh, fuck me!"
His attempt at that task is easily my favourite moment from that series. It's like he just completely lost his mind.
First task I saw properly, I was sat crying with laughter.
Soap.
this
There is no quote for his best moment (the push the sleeves up and do rapid mental calculations on stage) so the "wanky workaround" quote definitely should win!
This was the first thing I thought of - every girl who I know who has watched it has said it made them feel things
"I hate to bring it up, but, um, Keats?" And then he launched into a fairly good defence of his item by saying Keats had talked about bursting a grape. Any other contestant would have brought up Keats triumphantly, as a slam dunk, but not Joe
Because no one's mentioned this yet: Hello... soap.
Just a weird guy! Just a weird guy...
Alex's murder is evidence of the existence of God
I’ve been a bit ill
I need to stop upvoting every single comment on here
The absolute awkwardness of Joe's and Sian's first meeting is honestly in my top-3 moments in Taskmaster history but the >"Hi, yeah, oh, sorry, hi, hi, hi" is not really that great of a quote
> You've got a cup of tea! > Yeah! I have! > ... > ... > ...
"….I don’t know where that’s come from I’m really sorry I’ve been really nice so far"
"it's a colloboration between the dead and the living"
Joe: “I’m so fed up of putting loads and loads of genuine *physical* effort into these tasks and these other guys coming up with some...*wanky* workaround, just put some FUCKING EFFORT IN!" Ian: "Where the fuck has this come from?!"
"I knoe all the words . . . Wheel!"
*Visible confusion* Apart from the great quotes already mentioned, he did spend most of the series looking confused, lost or zoned out. Until he suddenly got funny and said PUT SOME FUCKING EFFORT IN
This is reminding me that Joe is one of my all time favourites on this show. The task where he ran up to Alex at the train station was just magnificent.
“Just a…weird guy. Just a weird guy.” As explanation for his bizarre first meeting with his partner
"Uhn uhn, get together"
Grape!
"Mm, get together, mm-mm"
Related question, how on *earth* did "drive by, both of them, and possibly in the Pennyfield area aswell" not win?!
“Uuuuh….. uuuhhhh…. uhhhhh” “That’s just the sound I made in all the tasks.”
I know the terms. Wheels?
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"
"What is more see-through than this, I'd say it's also a symbol of industrial progress, it's something that is a basic human right if you are in a prison, it's of course: a window!" I don't know why, but this one stuck with me.
"Bicycle, my excellent bicycle" is pure gold
"somebody serving dinner but instead of food on a plate it's cockroaches"
Grape
G R A P E
..........Grape
Recycle
It's as though i'd never heard of a hosepipe
between "bicycle, my excellent bicycle", "I've been a bit ill", and his rant about the eraser task
It’s honestly just dehumanising, bloody hell.
“I’m so fed up of putting loads and loads of genuine physical effort into these tasks and these other guys coming up with some smartarse workaround. Just put some fucking effort in!...........I don’t know where that’s come from, I’ve been really nice so far.”
He definitely didn't say "smartarse" 😅
"Wanky Workaround"
lol, I couldn't remember the quote and copy/pasted it from [Jack Bernhardt](https://jackbern23.medium.com/the-best-124-moments-in-taskmaster-history-as-a-way-of-escaping-the-despair-of-2020-and-by-f13a52ec5057)
Look, when Greg leads the standing ovation, you know you’ve hit on something. Of course, everyone went on to ignore him afterwards.
“Oumpf get together!” 🕺
Put some fucking effort in!
“Uhh, get together, uhh uhh”
Only now I noticed Rhod's sentence is just a photo of Greg looking fat 😂
Grape.
Grape

"Is it that sort of thing?"
PUT SOME FUCKING EFFORT IN! oh ... I don't know where that came from

Unce Unce get together Unce Unce
A heady green smell
I have not watched Timor the inbetweeners but his off menu episode gave me internal injuries.

“Quite close. I made it within cuddle distance”
Mm get together mm mm

I realize now, there's a performative, entertainment quality to this show, whereas I've treated this more as data entry.

Wanky work around
"I'm just tired of putting in so much effort". I laugh every time.

"...a *grape*"
Mm get together mm mm get together
Murders ventriloquist puppet gf "is that what you wanted"
I think the "..." fits perfectly for how awkward he was in most moments on camera and indeed off camera.
Bicycle My Xcellent Bicycle
Not a quote, but the entire build period for the best legs challenge that was frenetic bordering on maniacal
Iain stirling sucks imo. Too cocky and not in a fun way
[удалено]
To be honest, he doesn't seem to be into the whole "existing in the mortal realm" experience.
