god, i love taskmaster so much and agree with all of this. notes of addition: the best thing about both Johnny Vegas and Joe Thomas is how they approach the show as though they died and have grudgingly accepted that this is their eternal post-life torment; i am also in love with Rose Matafeo but only about 80% as much as i am with Jessica Knappett, who approaches everything with the level of blithe, weird fearlessness with which she makes her air-horn noise; and of course the overwhelming importance of being a good sport.

Wow yes this is EXACTLY right—an attitude I often describe as "my dog at the vet," like "well I guess this is my life now, I must accept it because I cannot influence it, I am only dog"
