In this Broadcast Award-winning, BAFTA and Emmy Award-nominated entertainment show, Taskmaster tyrant Greg Davies (Man Down, Cuckoo), with the help of his loyal assistant Alex Horne (The Horne Section and the show’s creator), sets out to test the wiles, wit and wisdom of five hyper-competitive comedians.
Comedians that have risked life, limb, and dignity in the hope of making the Taskmaster proud so far include: Frank Skinner (The Frank Skinner Show), Mel Giedroyc (The Great British Bake Off), Romesh Ranganathan (Asian Provocateur), Hugh Dennis (Outnumbered), Sally Phillips (Bridget Jones’ Diary), Rose Matafeo (Edinburgh Comedy Award Winner 2018), and Russell Howard (The Russell Howard Hour). Unaware of what awaits them in each wax-sealed envelope, only one competitor can become the victorious owner of His Royal Task-ness’ golden head and be crowned the next Taskmaster Champion. - ตลก
that camera pan from a pile of veneer shelves and rubber mats to Morgana dragging a giant cushion out of the caravan is one of the finest examples of Taskmaster's signature passive-aggressive editing.
You're so right. It's a proprietary style of pass ag 🤣🤣
On par with the 'wetting the teabags' cut
"That's literraly physical discrimination"
"So be it."
In one episode (can’t remember which one), Greg Davies said ‘I was born in ‘68 and I am 6 foot 8’ and from then on, I’ve never forgotten the age and height of The Taskmaster.
Well he is 54 years old, but he is 6’8” so at least you got that right.
@@bigbud587 You use the year he was born to calculate his current age genius
@@bigbud587 oof
@@bigbud587 people born in 68 are 54 👀
@BigBud are you OK dude?
As a funny note, the top hit on Google now for "How tall is Greg" is immediately 6' 8" and describes Greg Davies.
Mine was like 3 or 4 down
Google changes results to fit you. Not the same for everyone.
I was ready for Alex to say that some of the balls didn't belong to Greg, so they would have all failed on that account.
That was my immediate response. They all made the assumption that the balls on the plate were, in fact, the balls they were supposed to build a shelf for. But Taskmaster has tricked people with that kind of thing before! I would've done a quick check around the house to make sure there wasn't a basket of other balls labeled "Taskmaster" hidden somewhere
Yeah, I was absolutely expecting for either some of the balls to be the wrong ones, or for there to be other balls somewhere.
That absolutely shouldve been the twist to the task, they go into the taskmaster house and they find a miniature snooker table with the taskmaster logo
I really liked how Desiree chose to display Greg's balls on the shelf. They were nicely tucked in and had an easy way out in case he really needed to use them.
😂
Oh god that’s hilarious XDDDDD
Nice juxtaposition of Victoria and Morgana in this task. Victoria, most often hopeless at tasks was incredibly speedy and efficient. Morgana, usually so reliable, had a complete meltdown. Gotta love Taskmaster! 😂
I don't think I've liked an entire cast as much as this group. Also, Desiree's positivity is always very heartwarming. They all seem like people you'd want to hang out with and have fun.
The camera man at 3:41 is a genius
Victoria would be brilliant at segments, where the line usually is “Here’s one I made earlier”. 😂
Kept waiting for one of them to grab the portrait of Greg and just hold it up to the shelf.
I didn’t know the Taskmaster’s balls required a shelf..
No one knew, but we all expected
You seen the size of him?
no the real surprise that it wasn't golden.
When Greg looks straight forward, we now know that what he wants to see: Balls.
When you're that tall... LOL
As I’ve pointed out when this clip has been shared before, ‘snooker’ with a short ‘oo’ is a valid pronunciation (e.g. in Wales, which Greg should know as a Salopian like me) and when a word isn’t used in American English Desirée is right that she has no choice but to arbitrarily choose one British pronunciation or another.
i love Desiree, her introduction on this task is amazing "i guess i don´t even know what it is in this country"
It's snooker, not an obscure, never mentioned activity.
It's not tooootally impossible she wouldn't have ever heard the word.
@@Tao_Tology in much of the US, Snooker isnt known.
@@Tao_Tology i am neighter american or british, never heard of it before. Know the balls as billiard or pool balls. I guess it is indeed a obscure word.
so americans don't play snooker?
was waiting for the reveal that there was another ball somewhere else that they had to have found and added to the collection
I thought that there was an extra ball that needed to be removed :D
@@csodatatu same
I thought they would make Greg get on the shelf.
If you know snooker, you can see all the colours are there. Power snooker, which includes an orange ball and a purple ball, never really took off.
Like a bowling ball, that'd completely change what the shelf needed to be to hold it.
Desiree is such a joy to watch; she's having so much fun on the show.
The one where she throws things to burst a balloon is hysterical.
Are we just going to gloss over Greg's cry of "It's not fair!" at the very end?
I’m really looking forward to New Years Treat 🎉
Me too!!!!
@@forallthestupidshit3550 just watched it, isn’t it hilarious! XD
I'm disappointed Morgana didn't make a balls joke
The age-old question of our times: "How tall is... Greg"
Who’s Greg?
@@sherryxia8362 greg… from greggs
Had to Google it myself 6’8”. So tall
tried googling that and got 2.03m... And a picture to confirm it was the right man
If you google "how tall is greg," it shows you Greg Davies height lol.
I'm always happy when there's a new post from this channel
For curiosity I paused the video to Google "how tall is Greg". Google didn't even bat an eye. Right at the top it just said "6' 8" "
Ah the way Greg said "Snock/Snok"" not being a word in any language really made me think of Conan's Snuck correction with Jennifer Garner.
I was certain one of the balls was not going to have belonged to Greg.
The timelapse at the beginning was beautiful!
On a whim, I looked on Google to see how tall Greg Davies is. Soon as I typed "How tall is Greg" the auto-complete said "Davies" right off the bat!
Makes me think how many people searched to see how tall the Taskmaster is after this clip was posted.
6 foot 8 inches, by the way
No, it's because your browser remembers all your previous times you searched for Greg Davies info.
@@Tao_Tology So, you're telling me I've searched constantly for Greg Davies' height. I figure that'd be a one-and-done kind of thing.
@@Tao_Tology that's not how browsers function anymore, not solely. It absolutely will autocomplete just based on what is common among users generally speaking.
This is a dynamically updated system.
I did the search, and he was like third from the top in my autocompletion results. But I'm more of a casual fan of the show (and I'm from Europe if it matters).
He was born in '68 and is 6 foot 8.
That's all I've got about him, but god damn do I know it.
I remember an episode of WILTY where Rob Brydon specifically said the Welsh pronunciation of snooker was exactly like Desiree said it the first time. Then Greg said it was not said like that "in any land". So... does the Taskmaster hate the Welsh??
I hope not, he is Welsh.
Yeah, I immediately thought of that too. And I'm pretty sure Greg has a lot of Welsh heritage, so it seemed odd to me he said that.
I'm betting the wooden pallet behind the shed was the perfect height line. Pop it against the wall and Bob's your Uncle!
That's amazing! How'd you know I had an uncle named Bob?
height line?
@@jonhohensee3258 vertical length required to meet the challenge (ie. Greg's eyeline.)
@@jonhohensee3258 does that make it harder to figure out what height line means? Are you still confused about that?
@@forallthestupidshit3550 I don't think they said "height line".
Any post from this channel is welcome.
TITLE GOES CRAZY
Today I learned...
Greg is a Giant, and Alex is not a short little man but infact, 6cm taller than myself...
can't believe they didn't dock points for the vice grips on the actual shelf. thought that would've gotten them for sure.
Could a contestant wear a fly fishing vest, stuff the pockets with all manner of things like scissors, string, etc., and then use those items during the various tasks?
Well, considering one guy used his literal wallet to solve some tasks that does seem possible.
Some of the tasks say something like "using only the objects on this table . . . ", so those would restrict the use of the many-pocketed vest. For all the others, it seems like they will allow any kind of ingenuity contestants can come up with.
Decided to Google "How tall is Greg" and, surprisingly, it does show Greg Davies.
I just wanna get under a blanket and eat a pack of snookers.
if little alex horne is 6'2 im pretty sure im bite sized
*One contestant was "snuckered" during the filming of this task.*
Snook is a word, its a type of fish...
Thank you, came here for this.
Bad Dong
We say snooker like snucker in Wales, at least in my area.
'snoek' is a fish.
YOU'RE a fish.
So is snooker just the British word for pool? I looked up the game and it looks like it's played on the same table, in a similar way.
No. They’re obviously similar, but different games. Snooker is more long-form. And the table size is greater.
As a South african I say snooker like Desire
Disappointed that nobody asked for Davies' inseam, so as to make a shelf at that level, after all the question is about his balls
I never realised how funny this gay couple could be
Nobody notices that Alex says that Greg's chin level is 71.5 cm😅
I typed in "how tall is Greg" and it says 6′ 8″
"Only the taskmasters snooker balls may be on the finished shelf". And a cushion, apparently.
The cushion _was_ the shelf, by your definition every shelf would have a plank of wood on it.
so this wasn't part of the broadcast?
It was. They just throw these “full tasks” up on TH-cam.
@@tracy9610 do you know which episode? I thought I'd watched them all but hadn't seen this before
Season 12 Episode 7. Task 2
The trick to this challange is to not build a shelf and then on the live show just say to greg "i though you were castrated so you have no balls to put on a shelf"
I need some answers:
How many of you would just break down if you knew your life depended on building a functional shelf?
Seriously, I need to know. No shame here. Just be honest: would building a shelf stress you out?
Thanks in advance
-construction man
I thought British people didn't use measures like feet and inches. Shouldn't his height be measured in hogswallops or Queenie-Bits or whatever?
1. Apparently, it's a little mixed! I think I heard they use MPH for speed limits?
2. Oh, come on, all their lengths are some prefix followed by "meters." Millimeters, kilometers, etc. Don't make up silly names for metric measurements when we don't have a leg to stand on with our arbitrary names for measurements in the imperial system.
I am always slowed in my interest in behaviour, by Morgana's permanent awareness of her looks. Brigit has it, too, but has more interest in being quirky and witty and funny.
I haven't seen all the episodes of all the shows. Somes series I may have missed, completely.
But I don't recall any other women so 'aware' of their attractiveness. Victoria is fairly careful about her dignity, but everybody else - including Victoria, just mucks in - that I have seen.
Both Morgana and Brigit have no problem in holding Greg's eyes WITH confidence and challenge. I think well aware of their allure, even if Brigit also has eyes that twinkle in mischief.
All the other women look at Greg as just another male they like as company. As you would another girl. No allure or eye held looks, wanted on the voyage...
It is really interesting. I really cannot remember any other women catching my attention as an interested observer.
I am NOT implying anything happened. Just what I observed in body language and choice of clothing, (which is, in itself, a form of body language).
It genuinely interests me.
lol It will never not look ridiculous when british people make fun of people for pronouncing Snooker the obvious way it should clearly be pronounced
Romesh is one of the most intelligent and most simplistic in his ideas. He's like a conceptualist.
That'll be Guz Khan then...!
oof
@@CC-zf4yv all look the same to me
@@lotuseater7247 I’m guessing you look like a racist tosser. You may question what exactly does a racist tosser look like but like how you put it, they all look the same :)
the black woman just confirmed what I think about Americans. They think they speak english and everyone else speaks another language entirely.
Or it's just a word she's never heard before and she's making a lighthearted joke lol
While this does apply to a lot of Americans, it doesn’t apply to Desiree, a comedian, whose job is it to make a joke out of things. She is very self aware. Seems your hating clouded your judgement
When Victoria speaks I want to hit the mute button.
Snucker is the welsh accent pronunciation
Snoek, pronounced "snook" is a fish eaten in South Africa.
How posh are you to say “I don’t know how to put up a shelf”
she couldn't fold a paper airplane either; for the live task... imagine being that useless and thinking you should be lecturing anyone about anything.
