I've said it before on the actual episode, but giving John Kearns- One of the most anxious men I have ever seen in my life- the task of "secretly sabotage your team" is the most brilliant evil shit I've ever seen in my life

I haven’t even started watching yet but I’m noticing… 32 minutes! Even the creators of the video struggled to pick ‘Best Bits’ for John Kearns because there is just so much he did in Series 14. Alex has actually said that filming the sabotage team task is his favourite task EVER in the recent ‘Ask Me Anything’ on Reddit.

Next time you rewatch the series, watch his jacket. In the first task of picking things to use later, he tries to hang it up on the door hook, and it immediately falls to the ground. The rest of the series, he walks to the task and throws his jacket across the room

I love how they decided to give the sabotage task to John. It couldn't have been given to any better person. Not only was is clear that he'd feel very bad about it but he's also the only one who could convincingly pull it off that he's doing it all accidentally.

Most other people would have taken the loss and told their team. Only John would have gone through with it like he did

Every single person in the world who heard John say "so I went up to the pharmacist" when talking about buying the plastic ducks, had their entire life pause for one second as their brain tried to establish if that is what he'd actually said.

When he brought in a sailor's hat for the "best thing to have on a car journey" prize task, it cemented him as my favourite contestant ever

Well, There's Rhod. But he had the decency to have a good-enough plan after its ponders.

hadn't realised Dara's entire head blushing with laughter and despair during the live task!

John is one of my favorite Taskmaster contestants of all time. When he's puzzled or has failed, it's funny because he has tried so hard. (And when he tries to explain his rationale, it's even better.) When he succeeds -- he won multiple episodes and the trolley task was amazing! -- it's funny and also a bit heartwarming. :) Plus, he played so well with all of the contestants this series .. there was unmatched chemistry among the 5 of them and Greg & Alex.

Finally, this is the one contestant “Best of” I’ve been waiting for. You could make a super cut of every single prize task with John and I’d watch it (even though I’ve DEFINITELY rewatched the prize task openings of s14 multiple times already)

The worst part about watching John do the tasks is the sneaking suspicion that I would be even worse.

I genuinely think John sounds like Winnie the Pooh😅

He seems so emotional when talking about his sailors hat.We love John!

"Why are you buying ducks at the pharmacy" sounds a lot like "why are you shopping for clothes at the soup store"

„Which Aircraft - Crashes more - into Mountains?” Gosh, I love these three!

i love how soft-spoken and gentle his voice is and then sometimes he'll just SCREAM an expletive hahahaha john is such a legend

19:06 genuinely thought I couldn’t laugh more than at the pharmacy ducks, and then the live task that episode happened

John Kearns is everything I never knew I always needed in my life.

His ulysses twist joke is one of the best under the radar jokes in the entire show!

The way Alex says "pharmacy" at 19:00 gives me life

John and Fern were polar opposites in this series. She seems lost in a reverie of innocence and wonder, getting distracted by flies and meeting potatoes, and John is locked in an eternal struggle to stave off an existential nervous breakdown.

“Veeeeeeee!!!!”

Alex was like a mob boss when he delivered the secret sabotage task

Hes fantastic, one of the best contestants ever.

The compilation I've been waiting for 😂 John is just on a different wavelength from everyone and I love it

Dara at 8:51 The way he says IDIOT.. there's so much festered rage behind that😂

The modern day Pierrot himself That business with the wind in the paint task is such a magnificent bit of tragic clownery

I would love to see a movie of John as some sort of Johnny English kind of secret agent. His mix of weird talent for the physical tasks and generally anxious demeanour would be a phenomenal thing to watch in that kind of scenario.

genuinely my favourite ever contestant.

i can't explain it but he and Judi Love are so similar in their approaches to tasks and then failing to talk themselves out of it

STOHP EIHTTTT is one of my favorite bits ever. Truly my favorite season.

Fern: I think John should do that Dara’s face said otherwise

But what about “I found a naughty satsuma, in my fantastic curry”?

Despite all the sabotage and wolf impressions and so on, the moment of John’s that’s stuck with me the most is him insisting, against all evidence, that he’s not bad at the duck and sock task

Might be the best contestant ever on the show.

This was the best series. Best cast, best a tasks.

that sailor hat was used in the boat task in series 15, haha

Genuinely one of my favorite contestants of all time. John Kearns is a special breed.

The sabotage task must be the hardest task ever since Dara en Fern must have have thought he was annoying as fuck for the whole season

the video we’ve all been waiting for

This cast was fantastic! What a treat this whole series was!

What? No inclusion of the baggage cart-pushing task at Heathrow airport? Seeing John at the end of the task fearing that he had 'crossed the line' and would be disqualified (like Joe Wilkinson's potato hole-in-one in Series 2!) was the best moment from that episode for me!

"I'm opening chickpeas..."

john if you ever read this, you have been my favorite contestant on this show ever

The Veeeee!!! Brings me to tears every time

Omg I searched for "Taskmaster best of John Kearns" like two days ago, I feel like I manifested this lol

He seems like a classic character from some lost season of Cheers. What a delight.

I just think John Kearns and Mike Wozniak would make the best team Taskmaster has ever seen. Soft spoken, brilliant bizarre magic

Which aircraft… crashes more… into mountains

Biggest regrets in the milk task is my favorite

The hat sandcastle knocks me dead every time

i expected the helicopter description to be in ferns best bits

Gotta love this man.

Every task is like he's intentionally sabotaging it (like "genuine pleasure" while he's making painful noises) BUT I do think his crocodile and wolf were actually half decent 😢

"That was Fantastic! Can you lift my flap?"

genuinely perhaps the funniest "oh!" of all time somehow, randomly, it just hits right

That Live Team-Task about asking a question though... :D

I love the two seconds of Dara and Fern’s confusion before Alex plays the VT of John’s sabotage task 😂

Absolute legend

John Kearns is definitely most underrated contestant

An absolute casserole of anxious chaos. Love it.

Such a good series. The sabotage was a great touch.

I was really unsure of John in the first episode but I was hooked by episode 2. I still think John and Munya need a buddy sitcom.

he has so many great moments

The top hat sandcastle pops into my head at least 4 times a week

I've been waiting for this one 🥳

I’ve been waiting for this one

I was in stitches the whole time! I forgot how funny this season was

Saw him live and he was great! 😂

Been waiting for this one

John is the physical embodiment of anxiety

Half of this compilation is just Dara being absolutely irritated with someone else. 😅

In a compilation of, "Most stressful tasks as a viewer," John's sabotage is number one. I'm stressed for John, I'm stressed for Dara and Fern, I don't know who the hell I'm cheering for, but I know it can only end in tragedy.

I love Dara's reaction in 19:58, it screams "why am I stuck with these two here" 😅

That season was really good.

"Ohh, nooo..."

one of my favourite contestants ever!

dara saying "enormous hugeness" is my favorite things ever on taskmaster.

Just pissed my pants laughing watching John's defeated face after he failed at finding pleasure in the rubber chutes. 😂😂
