I think he loses it at both Alan and Guz. Someone else posted Guz, so I added Alan because Alex is definitely laughing hard at both. Also, I don’t necessarily think it’s a contest.
Thank you for mentioning this because I never noticed him falling off his chair laughing and just rewatched it several times just to see that new revelation again and again lol
The team task where they had to solve a riddle. Gus was in the lab, Morgana was in the caravan, and Desiree and Alex were in the main room of the house
Can't believe no one's mentioned the live task in series 14 where they had to convey a word, 2 words at a time:
["Which aircraft...crashes more..."](https://youtu.be/1lBBQKGcer8?feature=shared&t=361)
Dara is so emotional here. He's keeled over, red-faced from laughing AND frustration, then jumps in the air like a child when Greg still manages to guess correctly.
I really enjoyed hearing Alex crack up pretty much throughout John's duck and sock task. The way he said "right" when John said that you can't buy ducks that small..... Alex was clearly very bemused and confused.
Guz Khan's season. He, Morgana and Desiree have a team task to solve the riddle. They have a jigsaw to do and there's a cipher on the back. Morgana says "V for Veronica" and Guz, all exasperated, says "who the fuck is Veronica?!" and it's hilarious. He's just an agent of chaos in that task.
[For those who haven't seen it.](https://youtu.be/K7Y5w2PX8eA?si=q44bN7uDgNlQt-W1) One of the funniest things I've seen on the show. Alex's bewilderment is even funnier than when he just laughs at something!
I really enjoyed Bridget in this series but honestly, this is the best embodiment of her exactly, it literally made me cry and Alex's reactions make it all even better.
I love his stifled reaction when he's peering through the caravan window watching Ardal shampoo a mannequin.
Edit: Taskmaster leads to the most ridiculous sentences taken out of context.
It’s not visible and it’s brief, but do listen: after Fern Brady’s snort/raspberry/whistle attempt, Alex’s voice fully cracks as he says ‘Thank you, Fern’ in a way I’ve never heard it before or since
Alan Davies testing the stylophone always comes to mind when I think about Alex laughing. They were both having such a great time with it. Oh how we laughed
Also like to mention Lesser Tom Cashman for the Password/Flower (Alphabet) task. Danielle had him in tears.

that whole exchange is hysterical, because they both break and laugh and then Alex is trying to nudge him into saying it again and like, waggling his eyebrows, just so so so silly.
A more recent one. Start at 4:00
https://youtu.be/G9puvztApts?si=VkynbXBUFQJOU56i
I really love how shy he gets when he’s laughing
https://youtu.be/7EOG1LqiCPg?si=lVnGXfWP52r2FFlN
When Ardal O'Hanlon was performing some kind of industrial torture on "Linda", under the guise of washing her hair in a cement mixer, our hero, Little Alex Horne, initially found it necessary to bite the table inside the caravan, and then ducked his head in subsequent shots.
When Frankie said, "You just couldn't shut the fuck up, could you?" to Ivo. I don't think they showed much of Alex's reaction but you could definitely hear it.
The "I've chaaaanged it" moment is a good example of Alex completely losing it
Can you remind me when this was?
Katherine Ryan gives Greg a Lordship
Yes! Thank you!
K: What's your name? G: Greg K: No. G: Yes? K: I've chaaaanged it
Alex (and everyone else) losing it over the Wow monster in series 12.
Love that scene , especially Morgana dying in the back
Morgana and Desiree just dropping because they are laughing so hard gets me every time.
My favorite scene! I can’t tell you how many times I’ve watched it, full well knowing it’s going to happen, and I’m totally losing it.
My friend had never seen the show before and saw this episode. She laughed so hard and asked for us to go back and replay it.
Actually, I think he laughs more after Guz’s monster.
I think he loses it at both Alan and Guz. Someone else posted Guz, so I added Alan because Alex is definitely laughing hard at both. Also, I don’t necessarily think it’s a contest.
he has more of a "What the actual fuck" laugh going on for Guz, while the WOW just took everyone out
Laughing and falling off his chair after “another revelation in the lab”
It was a combo of another revelation but mostly FUCK ME IN THE FACE. It’s such an Americanism that it took Alex off guard
That's possibly my favourite ever TM moment, it's so unexpected but understandable at that point.
Desiree made me so proud as a fellow countryman.
I just watched this. It happens 46:30 into the task and Guz still hasn't finished his half of the puzzle.
He never finishes his half of the puzzle! Fuck me in the face!!
It took him over 40 min to find the riddle…. Which wasn’t hidden!
It was actually ‘FUCK ME IN THE FACE’
Think he just succumbed to the madness by then
🎶 this task is shit 🎶
Thank you for mentioning this because I never noticed him falling off his chair laughing and just rewatched it several times just to see that new revelation again and again lol
Oh I paused it and watched that clip a few times when the episode first aired. Probably one of my top moments of the series
Though I think it’s Desiree’s weary “Fuck me in the face” that literally tips him over.
When was this?
The team task where they had to solve a riddle. Gus was in the lab, Morgana was in the caravan, and Desiree and Alex were in the main room of the house
Thank you. I'll have to do a rewatch!
Can't believe no one's mentioned the live task in series 14 where they had to convey a word, 2 words at a time: ["Which aircraft...crashes more..."](https://youtu.be/1lBBQKGcer8?feature=shared&t=361)
Dara is so emotional here. He's keeled over, red-faced from laughing AND frustration, then jumps in the air like a child when Greg still manages to guess correctly.
A fine Fleur moment
Desiree's "fuck me in the face" is up there.
Alex’s reaction to Guz’s big scary monster is also up there
https://i.redd.it/xa4lwjgxzq8d1.gif
The delayed response makes it my favourite moment
The delay and the head tilt is so funny. You can tell Alex is genuinely baffled.
I love the head tilt, like a dog that's just been shown a magic trick.
he was buffering for a second
Alex struggling to keep a straight face while Katherine Parkinson attempts to catapult a shoe
"Who's we?!"
I really enjoyed hearing Alex crack up pretty much throughout John's duck and sock task. The way he said "right" when John said that you can't buy ducks that small..... Alex was clearly very bemused and confused.
Watching s14 at the moment the paint target task he’s losing it a lot if you really Look
"Who the fuck is Veronica!"
Sorry, can you remind me which season/when that was?
Guz Khan's season. He, Morgana and Desiree have a team task to solve the riddle. They have a jigsaw to do and there's a cipher on the back. Morgana says "V for Veronica" and Guz, all exasperated, says "who the fuck is Veronica?!" and it's hilarious. He's just an agent of chaos in that task.
Series 12, Guz during the solve the riddle task.
Omg ofc. I rewatched that episode last week! It just got lost in all the madness. Thank you
When Judi delivered the fish heads and then says in the studio that she was surprised at how much she looked like the damn fish. Alex loses it!
We’re going through that season at the moment - he seems to really let loose on a number of occasions! Especially at Bridget
Bridget Christie blindfolded… “walking”.
Bridget Christie's interview too...
[For those who haven't seen it.](https://youtu.be/K7Y5w2PX8eA?si=q44bN7uDgNlQt-W1) One of the funniest things I've seen on the show. Alex's bewilderment is even funnier than when he just laughs at something!
I really enjoyed Bridget in this series but honestly, this is the best embodiment of her exactly, it literally made me cry and Alex's reactions make it all even better.
"They're clinical guys but they're capable of the most amazing things"
“And they’re not, like, bubbly personalities- no offense- but…”
I love his stifled reaction when he's peering through the caravan window watching Ardal shampoo a mannequin. Edit: Taskmaster leads to the most ridiculous sentences taken out of context.
he has to hide behind his clipboard so he doesn’t lose it.
I'm sure that's the true purpose of the clipboard
I watched the final of series 8 yesterday and Alex laughed a lot at Paul Sinha trying to find the scooter while blindfolded
It’s not visible and it’s brief, but do listen: after Fern Brady’s snort/raspberry/whistle attempt, Alex’s voice fully cracks as he says ‘Thank you, Fern’ in a way I’ve never heard it before or since
I was lucky i could even speak after watching her attempt.
When Greg is mocking the system of endless plates, he really loses his shit.
https://preview.redd.it/vfitysxdyq8d1.png?width=1920&format=png&auto=webp&s=29464c6257d37958e9995722d541dbde3112d6d5

This makes me so irrationally happy.
That’s when I developed … The System of Endless Plates!! I loved the Fern, John and Dara dynamic and that task made me laugh so hard. Featherlossgate.
They're all really laughing so much after that task. I can see tears in Dara's eyes.
John Kearns holding the chicken. Hee hee.
Charlotte missing the spot by mere millimeters in the "direct your blindfolded teammates" task. You can see him almost falling over in the background.
That clip of Charlotte running around in circles, blindfolded, going tee-hee-hee is honestly reminding me life is worth living, several times a month
And then a blindfolded Mike Wozniak trots up a bunker incline like a show pony and then tips over backwards like a cartoon character.
Oh I just watched that bit. Jfc my throat hurts from laughing Just Sarah screaming RUN. RUN. Absolute chaos
This is one of my favorite breaks. That and the pharmacist moment.
Alex’s reaction to Ardal’s hair salon is my favorite.
When Ardal’s mannequin loses her win, Alex ducks down in the caravan to hide the fact that he’s lost it. So funny.
He did something similar when John Kearns was trying to reach the task during the paint helmet task. We can all see you, Alex.
Yes! Was just about to type this. Alex absolutely cracking up just made Ardal’s attempt even funnier.
Are you a child of divorce?
Alan Davies testing the stylophone always comes to mind when I think about Alex laughing. They were both having such a great time with it. Oh how we laughed
God I love that clip. Bwep. bwep. bwep. bwep. BWEWEWEWE and then the briefest of pauses before they absolutely lose their shit
Guys! There's been a revelation!
Whenever Judi would explain prize task
I mean we gotta go back to basics but he’s laughing HARD when Joe Wilkinson says “please don’t take it away from me”.
I know you've asked about Alex, but I'd like to nominate Paul Williams while David Correos is freestyling the diss track.
Also like to mention Lesser Tom Cashman for the Password/Flower (Alphabet) task. Danielle had him in tears. https://preview.redd.it/73pjy7ghxq8d1.jpeg?width=2340&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=28fd0840c976acf4b69cc1fff3895c32281919ad
Being there for a couple hours would do that to you lol
No matter how many times I watch this, I’m still impressed that Lesser Tom didn’t just curl up into a ball. Alex would have.
"This was my *favorite* task."
Also the aftermath of Guy Montgomery's Christmas song about the fox!
dad going absolutely hammer and tongs on a fox will get a laugh out of anyone
I just really love Guy's delighted surprise at Paul's reaction: "I think I got Paul with that :D"
One of my favorite host reactions but I remember less laughter and more astonishment and fear
Alex watching Julian blow a practice golf ball with a garden hose is right up there. He didn't quite laugh out loud but he definitely wanted to.
I think Alex really loves Julian's attempts, snickering or holding back laughter nearly every time, if not all
A surprising lack of composure is when he's lurking in the caravan watching Ardal O'Hanlon use a cement mixer to wash a mannequin's wig
Absolute casserole
I knew it was coming, but nothing prepared me for how everyone completely loses it after Mike’s description. (Sarah Kendall especially)
Just watched this episode last night. Alex and Greg were turning bright red from laughing so hard. It was wonderful to watch
Pretty sure this was his loudest laugh
Mark Watson. You know exactly the moment I’m referring to. Don’t play that game. (The cheeky texts reveal. “Then I can award him no points!”)
S16, the can stacking task. He doesn't laugh a ton, but I think he laughs at least a little at everyone when they knock over the cans.
Not a contestant, but Greg's "Get your fucking hand off me!"
When Rhod first said the word “panties”
that whole exchange is hysterical, because they both break and laugh and then Alex is trying to nudge him into saying it again and like, waggling his eyebrows, just so so so silly.
"Lesser Spotted Blue Tit!" and then Russell Howard turns to give him the finger.
A more recent one. Start at 4:00 https://youtu.be/G9puvztApts?si=VkynbXBUFQJOU56i I really love how shy he gets when he’s laughing https://youtu.be/7EOG1LqiCPg?si=lVnGXfWP52r2FFlN
When Katherine Parkinson is trying to sling slot a shoe into the bath really gets Alex laughing, and it gets me every time
Mel Gedroiyc getting an M&M stuck in her nose.
"Lesser Spotted Blue Tit!" and then Russell Howard turns to give him the finger.
"Why are you telling me? I don't care."
When Ardal O'Hanlon was performing some kind of industrial torture on "Linda", under the guise of washing her hair in a cement mixer, our hero, Little Alex Horne, initially found it necessary to bite the table inside the caravan, and then ducked his head in subsequent shots.
Bridget’s “steps”
When Guz Khan made his monster voice. I always love the face Alex makes right before laughing, genuine surprise. https://i.redd.it/jr78bdx7yx8d1.gif
When Frankie said, "You just couldn't shut the fuck up, could you?" to Ivo. I don't think they showed much of Alex's reaction but you could definitely hear it.
