assistant ian
Season 6 Episode 4
Ian appears only as Horn’s assistant. Of all the jokes in the history of the series, this is the only one with a whole new cast of non-competitors.
Horne’s role on the show is as a docile, official assistant alongside the more charismatic, charismatic Davis. Ian is Horne’s more formal counterpart, and Horne even accepts his intern-like jokes. This is also one of the first jokes in the entire episode, as Ian returns to his final mission before replacing Horn in the credits. It’s a good joke that capitalizes on the dynamic between the two hosts and Ian’s humorous exposure to the camera, which is unusually scripted for a show, but effective.
math
Season 11, Episodes 3 and 4

In the third episode, Horn tries to impress Davis with his math, but having a calculator ready to double-check him doesn’t work, and they move on. In the fourth episode, it comes back, Horne nearly fooling the contestants by giving an answer through a headset.
The only joke can move to another episode. Like many others, Davis’s angry voice sold the intro, but what ultimately worked was to surprise Davis and the rest of the contestants in the shortest amount of time without realizing he had the car. second headset. Charlotte Richie of the British comedy series Fresh Meat had the best reaction, calling him a dirty rat. Horn’s tricks rarely work, but when they do, they’re clever.
My kids call me Alex Horne Jr.
Season 6, Episode 1

One of the many jokes made funnier by the undescribed nature of Horn’s segment, and the more basic joke setup leveraged by Davis’ response. “Little Alex Horn” started as a nickname in the third episode of season three, and then became a regular part of his intro in season four.
Horne is actually the show’s actual supervisor, as he leads the creative team for the challenge — he’s the Puzzler in the British comedy, but not so scary — and the real role Davies’ role on the show is the one who decides who wins, not the actual role of overseer of quest creation. Breaking this down is an effective source of the show’s occasional comedy.
knee high boots
Season 13, Episode 8

Just one of Horn’s many jokes involving a specific piece of clothing, this is a pair of boots with flaps at the bottom, suggesting that they’re really just regular thigh-high boots.
Many of Horne’s intros focus on elaborate clothing, such as the knee pads in the first series. It’s wonderful to gradually lead to a very ordinary couple, especially given the often flimsy clothes he carries around with him as a surprise.
just a man
Season 12, Episode 4

Horn shares his personal meditation track, which features him repeatedly singing to himself “He’s just a man. He’s just a man named Greg,” ending at a brisk pace. than “You’ll be a Supervisor soon.”
Musical humor is a rarity for Horn, with the only other pre-screened work appearing in season 9, episode 8 of The Alex Horn Show. The tune shows off the battle between the intern character Horn and his boss, Davis. , sounds as if he intends to usurp his place.
bad father
Season 5 Episode 4

Davis opens with “Do you really have children?” Horne puts more emphasis on being a bad father, suggesting that he only see them once a year, before stammering: “I’m a good father! I have two sons… ah, one son- I have three sons.”
Many of the show’s best jokes come in season six or later, as Horne steps up his game and delivers more props or harbingers of what’s to come later in the show. However, the dry moment, combined with the awkward silence and the audience laughing at his mistake, made it a memorable joke, especially when Davis interjected again to speak. that he would be happy to keep him away from them, because he was a bad father. .
fifty episodes of friendship
Season 7, Episode 6
.jpg)
After providing the show’s general stats, Horn ended up “with an eternal friendship,” and Davis stepped in to say how awkward the relationship was and that Horn knew nothing about him. . Davis asked, “What car do I have?” Horn answered incorrectly “A car. A Honda!”
Horn’s genuinely panicked look and the sinister grin on Davis’ face when he knew Horn was about to squirm, was amazing. In the trailer, where the scene goes on longer and James Acaster and Rod Gilbert join in the awkward chaos, Horn reveals that after watching fifty episodes together, he doesn’t even know how many children he has. .
belly sudoku
Season 6, Episode 6

Horn innocently asked: “Do you want to play Sudoku?” after a series of comments about how he knew Davis liked Japan and quizzes. Of course, nothing in Horn’s joke was simple, and after handing Davis a marker, he lifted his shirt to reveal the Sudoku tattoo on his stomach.
The jigsaw-wearing co-host couldn’t even keep a serious look when Davis told him that “increasingly, these little parts are just for attention, aren’t they?” When Davis draws a full circle and ruins his happiness, his happiness drops. The devastating look on Horne’s face recounted the joke, causing the contestants including the great British comedian Asim Choudhury to laugh.
two golden stars
Season 4 Episode 7

As the season drew to a close, Davis asked Horn if he had another work arrangement. Horn was forced to say on the spot that he was very interested in sightseeing, then pulled from his pocket a nametag with two gold stars. However, Davis was outraged by the idea of Horn giving himself a gold star on his behalf.
The quick transition from “I love that you let me go to the park” to then talking about a lapel with his name on it even made Davis laugh — Horn was so good at moving on without hesitant. The growing disdain in Davis’ voice was also a source of great laughter, obviously annoyed that Horn thought he was “capable”.
hydration jacket
Season 8, Episode 7

Horn’s unique coat setting is the best of the best, named by Davis himself. “I mean, you know,” the presenter tried to calm down after swearing, “eight series, that’s the first funny thing you do.”
In his strangest invention, Horne set up two tubes on the sleeve of his jacket, connected to his breast pocket, one filled with pumpkin (or “rum”) and the other filled with water to dilute it. Interestingly, he urged Davis to drink the pumpkin, then surprised him by unexpectedly offering him water. Season eight delivered some of Horne’s most choreographed jokes, and this one turned out to be surprisingly sane. It was sweet to see the kids finally get along, and Horn said with a proud smile on his cheek, “He likes one of the things I do!”
