-->'''Greg:''' Munya is alive with energy. Keen. Like a newt! Solving problems! And, you know, if doesn't manage to solve them through logic, he'll make something up, like "Zimbabwean Darts". Obviously, absolute horseshit...Sometimes, I don't know whether he's the best ambassador for Zimbabwe.

* CompetitionFreak: He is intent on earning every point he can whether it be through good task attempts or passionate arguments in the studio. He's also driven to frustration during team tasks as he takes them seriously while Fern and John goof around.

* CompetitionFreak: He is intent on earning every point he can whether it be through good task attempts or passionate arguments in the studio. He's also driven to frustration during team tasks as he takes them seriously while Fern and John goof around. On the podcast, he explains that his competitiveness was because he enjoyed ''Taskmaster'' so much and the only way he could get just one day more was to win and compete in Champion of Champions.

* CallBack: His appearance on Champion of Champions 3 has several of these:
** He wears the same task outfit as before, but with several changes. The back of his jumpsuit has his catchphrase "Wait, what?" spelled out in stick-on gems. There are also patches depicting his team tasks sewn onto his jumpsuit: a sandcastle and a shopping trolley, when John sabotages their team in "Dafty In The Middle"; mountains and a helicopter, in reference to the live task in "Enormous Hugeness"; and a patch showing the bird that Dara insists he could see in the "create the best picture of a bird" task.
** In the opening titles, there is a shot of Dara dressed up as the lady who throws her baby, from his attempt for the "catch something" task in "Dafty In The Middle".



* OnlySaneMan: John and particularly Fern derail the team live task in Episode 2 so badly that Dara is almost in physical pain, while he just about salvages their attempts.

* TheFriendNobodyLikes: Within the team of three, it's made abundantly clear that Dara was fed up with him and that Fern had had her fill as well[[note]]Fern's opinion of John was made worse when she learned of the sabotage task in the studio. She'd thought that it was a genuine mistake at the house and worked hard to calm Dara down by pointing out to Dara that John had a newborn baby at home and must be exhausted. She became outraged when the subterfuge was revealed and realised she'd defended deliberate treachery[[/note]].

* InformedFlaw: Greg paints John as being one of the most hopeless contestants in ''Taskmaster'' history. Points-wise, however, there was never a wide gap between himself, Fern, and Munya and he won two episodes before either Fern or Munya won one. (Though it should be kept in mind that all three spent the entire series languishing in the ''bottom'' three places and kept swapping last place; he also ended the series in joint last with Fern, the first time this has happened. Greg isn't ''entirely'' far off.)

* BoisterousWeakling: As noted by Greg, he has a tendency to throw himself into the tasks with nothing less than absolute self-confidence in his own abilities. Unfortunately, this confidence is frequently unmatched by his actual abilities, since he's been languishing in the bottom half of the leaderboard throughout the series and has (to date) come last in the most episodes out of all the contestants.

Gag Boobs has been renamed to Boob Based Gag. Changing to the proper trope where appropriate and cutting misuse.


* GagBoobs:
** She notes that her bust is large enough to prevent her from seeing where the pockets on her coat are.
** During the final team task, where one member is supposed to act as the eyes and the other as the hands, she opted to be the hands. This was because the member acting as the eyes had to stand behind and above the other and if she'd taken the role, Munya's head and shoulders would have been smothered by her chest.

* TheMole: John was tasked with sabotaging his team for one task. This infuriated Dara on the day and made him angrier when he learned about the subterfuge in the studio. Fern was also enraged in the studio because she'd come to John's defense and worked hard to calm Dara down after the incident.

* OopNorth: For the one-act play task, Fern puts on a pitch-perfect Geordie accent when performing Sarah's script. Fern even throws in a "Howay, man!"[[note]]a regionalism that can mean: go away, good luck, come on, hurry up, OK[[/note]] for good measure, even though Sarah didn't include that in the monologue.
