export all our media to you (because it's better)

Lmao. Get back to me when you've got something like Taskmaster, Would I Lie To You, or QI.

We can't do everything for you guys. We're holding down the imperial system almost single handedly. Help a brother out.

America has the Squid Games reality show and Mr Beast. They're kind of like Taskmaster if the point of Taskmaster was dangling life changing money in front of poor people.

They're nothing like Taskmaster then lmao.

Tell me what country you're from, then, so I can look up how to roast it in the book of Places No One Gives a Shit About.

Wow you're a really thinskinned dicktip.

[–] fsxylo@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago

Nah, I'm trolling you because you're stupid.

American here, you’re straight up wrong. We have no equivalent to their panel shows. Comparing them to game shows is like comparing open heart surgery to being stabbed.
