D&D General Dad’s Army and 5e

[DEFCON 1]

Have you seen Season 2 of NZ Taskmaster?

If you can find it it's utterly brilliant (our knock off shows tend to suck badly).

Possibly the greatest season of TM ever.

The Australian one isn't to bad either.

I've seen one of the guys live and he has been known to get completely naked on stage and it goes downhill from there.

I've been slowly getting through Season 1 Australia, but as is often the case with new shows, the people on them are still trying to find their footing and thus I haven't warmed up to the two hosts yet. But as a result of that slow journey I haven't even considered jumping into NZ Season 1. I'm sure eventually I'll get to it, but haven't yet.

A lot of 70s and 80s British shows hold up (to me, at least), but I never made time to watch Dad's Army... I assume it's good?

Regardless, good catch

It holds up quite well, the historical setting helps.

though Chris Perkins didn’t get the “obscure British pronounciation” memo that it’s pronounced “mannering”, because why would he

The mispronunciation (Main-wearing) is a joke on the show in any case.

S1 NZ is a good season. S2 one of if not the best.

Rest is mid tier Taskmaster. Weakest TM is still pretty good. The worst was probably the Covid season.

This thread reminds me to dig out my "Dad's Army of Darkness" t-shirt now that the weather has warmed up.

There are not enough emoticons to convey my happiness at seeing this

It is a sweet t-shirt. Very few people get both the references.

But does it include Yakety Sax?

That was my ringtone for several years. It was always a mad scramble to find my phone so I thought having themed music for the moment was appropriate.
