Not a huge shock given how casually racist that C4 "Paul Hollywood in Japan" show was. Lmao just discovered that the pancake thing they made is French. What a shitshow.

stev posted:I remember the gypsy tart coming up on the Off Menu podcast, and they discussed whether it was OK to say. They agreed that it's probably an old fashioned name which isn't great but there doesn't seem to be any other name for it so there's not much you can do about it. As an American I certainly lack the context to say whether or not the name is offensive... but surely it could just be called a condensed milk tart?

Anyways forget the various racial and ethnic minefields of this episode for a second, because what was up with two different people not knowing what the word "crescent" means??

No worries. The highlights for me are the director track from: * The Challenger Disaster from NASATV, director audio with him doing the pooled world feed (edit: 12 cameras!) * CNN on 9/11 * Jake Humphrey being an absolute loving pro on BBCF1 (take note of when they cue the opening video compared to when the count actually hits zero. Have to account for comms delays!) Broadcast tech is fun

Yeah, or we could just not rename foods because people who aren’t in the allegedly offended group decide they’re offensive.

There are a few chains that sell macha mille crepe in Japan but Prue Leith's recipe that they had to cook was literally unrecognisable vs the Japanese thing. They may as well have had them make Mont Blancs, they're very trendy in Japan right now.

Because I was interested in knowing more I found this parliamentary report that is pretty thorough on terminology https://publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm201719/cmselect/cmwomeq/360/full-report.html Probably not worth extending the derail by discussing but might be interesting to some

Paladinus posted:They've made a big mistake of including two similar tasks in the first episode (statue made with things that start with the same letter and cocktail made with things that rhyme). Episode 2 had a better variety, and the host felt more comfortable with making GBS threads on contestants. A huge improvement. NZ version does seem to be doing the best job of being original. From what I've seen - Denmark TM is about 90% Horne tasks - Norwegian TM seems to be mostly original tasks in the house, but the studio tasks are all from the UK show - Swedish TM from what little I've seen has never been more than minor Horne variations

I want to see these Japanese news reports. Is this the second diplomatic incident caused by TV this year after that bbc3 sketch "Jamaican countdown"? Also, bbc4 was playing an episode of Bob Ross the Joy of Painting, if you want to know how much money that network has anymore.

Pablo Bluth posted:The Norwegian one had a task sort of showed up here after; the task being based around a tea set fixed to the table. The Norwegian version ended up funnier, with them either attacking the table or using some random item found in the garage as an intermediate pouring step. The UK version was a team-task that didn't work nearly as well. The Norwegian Greg and Alex are like a bizarro world version of ours.

AttitudeAdjuster posted:Absolutely outrageous that Daisy's non-upside down film got more points than Richard Herring's. Herring's film, although lacked in comedy, was technically more impressive in its implementation of the task. Daisy's was mainly remarkable because of the catchy music that had nothing to do with the task. I'm surprised Richard didn't try to protest the decision, at least for a laugh, which leads me to believe he was being punished for something with that one point. I am now a Herring truthist. There is a vast conspiracy against ventriloquists.

Taear posted:Wait, what casual racism? First thing was Chinese, second thing was French (adding macha powder to something does not make it Japanese), third thing was just "whatever" though at least one girl did make a Japanese cake. They couldn't even be hosed to ask about the pronunciation of "kawaii", a word they repeated over and over in the show, CBeebies shows put in more of an effort than this (the wife specifically mentioned Hey Duggee and Tea Cup Tales)

ObamaAkbar. posted:Daisy May Cooper just scribbling on the revolving canvas instead of actually drawing anything had me in tears Yeah, I was a bit surprised it took the contestants three rounds to realise that the difference between this and pictionary was that you could interfere with the other team's drawing. Probably for the best though, because from that point it descends into utter farce... On second thoughts, perhaps a better version would have had both teams drawing from opposite sides of a transparent plastic pane? Sell that one to Taskmaster NZ.

You'll sometimes see odd poo poo like badly translated menus to get people to crack, sometimes he'll show fanart to Marvel actors featuring themselves, but I find most of it quite pleasant to watch and insightful/cute even in Youtube reccommendations. Like Alan Cumming and Daniel Radcliffe getting blown the gently caress away by Graham and Miriam Margolyes explaining how her rented holiday home got used as a major drug dropoff. Also interesting little things like Tom Hanks being a Star Trek nerd and telling Simon Pegg he wants to play a Romulan. I find it much better than Jonathan Ross who I got turned off of when he bullied Daniel Craig into auctioning his watch.
