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.

Jamali asks for a calendar and then pulls out a device that has a calendar on it
One of many examples why Jamali was the weakest part of this season for me. He has a couple of funny bit, but for the most part I just found his particular style of comedy and choices to be unpleasant.
To everyone saying “just use your knuckles” the task was to CREATE a way to rememebr. Using an already-established method they would have gotten them disqualified.
The question remains how to remember which years are leap years an which aren't.
@@stefanlilienthal6072 obviously it is every 4 years, but not when it is a multiple of 100 but it is if it a multiple of 400 and i think maybe something about 1000 or 4000... its pretty simple really
@@harveymcdonald759 just multiple of 4
@@harveymcdonald759 But in the year 4812 or 4816 we need a leap year without the leap... 😃
Lee was criminally underscored
But his poem was worse than the one they were talking about!
@@thomasthomasson2319I think it should have been scored comparing it to the other contestants, not the one that has existed and been tweaked for a millennium.
Some of Greg's worst-ever scoring, I'd give his performance in this episode 1/5
they laughed at him for his poem starting with "Now listen here you!", but Beowulf starts the same way.
Mike’s medical school education showing hard in this task
After this aired first time, I had this problem stuck in my head.
My solution is to remember 5 and 10: All months have 31 days, except the neighbors of 5 (may) and 10 (october), those neighbors have 30 days. And february is special.
I might just remember that one!
Use the knuckles of your hands. Always with you and easy
Just use the knuckle method, put your knuckles side by side and count from one end, every knuckle is 31 every gap between knuckles is 30, the gap between your pointer finger knuckles don’t count so July and August are both 31.
Everyone knows the knuckles, though. The task was a *new* method.
I quite like this "dodgy neighbours" method.
I use jamjodg snaj
Seeing that deranged clock killed me, I couldn’t stop laughing for a few minutes, for 3 points she needs to pray to Greg
Jamali really just decided to record a voice message for Greg...
"....except February alone which has 28 days clear and 29 in a leap year"
*each leap year
@@thomascarmichael6659there’s no difference
@@hepbombombom nah it does. Obviously they're both monosyllabic words so it doesn't technically affect the metre of the poem, but the "ch" sounds at the end of "each" leaves your mouth in a shape closer to the one needed to pronounce the "L" sound in "leap" than "a" does.
So it rolls off the tongue a lot more comfortably when being said aloud, which gives it a nicer flow.
Greg went Jeremy Wells mode with the scoring on this one.
I made a poem to remember!
Every second month has 30,
The first have 31.
We swap the 2 at August, then we carry on!
February’s a weird one, it’s got 28.
But on leap years it’s got 29, isn’t that just great?
Now you know the numbers of the days in every month.
Now go out in the real world and you won’t look like a dunce!
The one I learned growing up was:
"Thirty days hath September,
April, June, and November.
After February's done,
all the rest have thirty-one."
Which scans pretty well, IMO. I do concede that it doesn't explicitly mention that February has 28 (or maybe 29), but I never really considered that to be difficult to remember. It was all the OTHER months that are the issue.
Okay, well today I learned there's a knuckle method to remember the number of days in each month. Have never heard of that in my life before this. As for the poem, the version I learned didn't even bother to rhyme the February lines. So I just memorized February's weirdness and only repeated the 30/31 part of the poem for the other months. 😀
The knuckle method is amazing. Idk how I learned it but like I use it alll the time
@@Haniss3553what does this mean?
Another example of Wozniak being underscored. He should’ve won this series.
Mike is the funniest person to ever be on this show
should've went with jammjod snfaj, I still haven't forgotten that one
It's been consistently stuck in my head ever since the episode came out, I can't make it go away.
The version I always learned ended "once short February's done, all the rest have thirty-one"
I hadn't really ever considered the fact that that version expected you to just know February was 28/9
Sarah's system was so fucking funny actually
The best way to remember how many days are in a month is to change the calender a la Dave Gorman. 13 months of 28 days. With a day of intermission (2 on leap years).
But if I had to make a new method, I'd piggy back on Gormans idea and make it only slightly worse. January through November have 30 days. December has 35/36.
Haha I thought the same! If this was his task he’d just throw it out a present his new (logical) calendar lol
I noticed there was a drawing of a piano at the back, and you can use _that_ to memorize the months in a similar way to the knuckles.
Starting from F, go up the chromatic scale - white keys have 31 days, and black keys have less.
i really enjoyed how little alex horne trolled jamali during the season
I do the knuckle count
Jamali giving Alex instructions. Hilarious everytime
I’m a Latin major so I’m using a bit of Roman history lol: it switches on and off, but I like to think that Julius and Augustus Caesar (for whom the months July and August were named) were SO egotistical that they both had to have their months be 31 days, thus interrupting the pattern
The clock could work if it only had one hand, the 12 points (months) were colored coded using her color system, and it were designed to make one rotation a year.
What the hell was Greg smoking with that scoring?
I remember this by having a "missing month" between July and August. So it starts with 31 on January and alternates for every month between 31 and 30, except for February
TH-cam and Taskmaster knows me... whenever SK pops up... I click. LOVE HER!
JAMALI FEBRUARY HAS 28 DAYS YOU WERE LOOKING FOR THE CALENDAR OF A LEAP YEAR
"...Fresh 28."
I don’t know why JamJodSnaj lives rent free in my head, but it does!
How weird, I was just thinking up a new method myself last night
This is one of the rare occasions where I basically disagree with all of Greg’s scoring. Lee and Mike’s systems are clearly the best, in both memorability and succinctness!
30 for 4, 6, 9, 11
31 for 8, 10, 12,
1, 3, 5, 7
28 or 29, 2 be determined.
I spent 4 minutes on this, then watched the episode. I do like the yoga system.
And the poem version I learned was:
Thirty days past September
April, June, and November
All the rest have thirty-one
Except for Februrary alone
That has twenty-eight days clear
Twenty-nine each leap year.
(And auto correct had those suggested, looks like I'm not the first to type poetry!)
I would have a hard time with this one... it's just one of those things I almost instinctively just know. Not that it's actually instinctive, just that I've known it so long that when I "see" the month in my head, I "see" the number of days. I used to sing the little poem as a kid to remember.
I'd love to see a Taskmaster Redemption series where the lowest performing member from each series come back for a chance to win. Like champion of champions but reversed.
I still find Sarah's genuinely impressive.
Except February alone which has but 28 days clear and 29 in each leap year.
It would be really funny if someone decided to include detailed instructions on how many days February has, as in it has 28 except in every year divisible by 4 but not by 100 unless it's divisible by 400, in which it has 29
Charlotte's clock ISN'T broken, because ON the clock it says blue = 30 and pink = 31 :D
Lee and Mike’s were the two best ones and they scored the lowest 🤦♂️
Knuckles
a NEW way
So you watched Sarah's attempt too, huh?
I was wondering if that is well known, but it's definitely the best way
Haven't watched the video yet but I learnt the knuckles trick when I about 10 at school
Tails
Fresh 28
This ones for JAMJOD!
Start with long(31).. Alternate between long and short(30) (with special exception for Feb) until you get to July (the 7th month) which is long. Then August is long too, and is the first of the last 5 months of the year .... long, short(28or29), long, short, long, short, long ... long, short, long, short, long ... So just remember 7 and 5.
VW W (or VVV VV)
Up is 31 days, down is less. V and W should be joined to make a triple-V (or tripleyou if you want to think of it like an extended doubleyou). Can think of it like "triple-v double-v."
(This is essentially the knuckle method in disguise.)
I remember by knowing February has 28 or 29 days the rest have 30 or 31 and that’s close enough 😅. I couldn’t remember the order of the months until I was 16 so remembering how many days they have is too much to ask of me lol.
Mike's was best
Brilliant series 😅
Gregs scoring makes 0 sense.
This is pointless, it takes literally two seconds to recite the first part of the rhyme up to the word November, which is all you need to do. Once you've done that if you've just said the month you were looking for then it has 30 days and if you haven't it has 31, unless it was February in which case you shouldn't even have needed the rhyme, you should just know that one off the top of your head.
jamjod! lol
Jammjod Snaj
Jamali is either a lazy sod or a mad genius who beat Greg at his own game
Lazy sod, if you're really not sure.
Sing this jingle: 30 days in September, April, June, and November 👏🎶 (the rest are 31. And just remember February is 28 lol)
...except February: it has 28 days clear, but 29 days in each leap year.
That's the last part of the rhyme.
@@De19thKingJulion oh wow never heard the end haha nice!
@@violetchan8129 Thanks. That's the version I read in an old children's book I had as a little 'un
DO JAM ==== If the month starts with one of this letters === the month have 31 days
EXCEPT: if the month has an even number of vocals
If the month starts with F, is because he is a failure, so he doesnt have 30 days... (alta paja matizar en los biciestos xd)
The others have 30 days
"September, November, April, and June are 30 day months and the rest are all cXXts."
Knuckles is the easiest way
just need a separate system to remember leap years for February
They had to come up with A NEW WAY of doing it.
@@chrisjones5411Jamali just recorded himself talking, which isn't exactly new
.. except February which has 28 days clear, and 29 each leap year.
Has no one ever used the Knuckle technique to know which months have 31 days
Martin Jeffrey Thomas Linda Jones Brian
Moore Timothy Jackson Gary Anderson Helen
why you even need to count knuckles to determine 31?
ApJunSeNo, all others are 31 except February.
I just use my knuckles lol
They had to come up with A NEW WAY FFS.
@@chrisjones5411 I mean Alex said a different way from the poem which is a way I've never heard of lol
Jamali missed out the September
They didn't play his entire message (it was too long, and we got the gist of what he was saying). They edited out May, June, and September.
@@SgtSupamanYeah, I think so too because otherwise they had for sure pointed it out if he missed the for real
2773
I take it only my mid-2000s school generation learned the poem? 😅
30 days hath September; April, June, and November
All the rest hath 31; except for February
Which has 28 days clear, and 29 each leap year
edit: never mind, they all reiterated it
Not possible how beautiful Sarah is.
Aaah the stupidity of Covid times...
It’s almost impressive how much more pointless than any other ‘Taskmaster’ contestant Jamali is.
I’m ashamed to share a birthday month with him.
Haven’t seen the S18 lineup I take it?
@@iliketrains3495 Yes, I’ve seen it. Any of them is ten times better than Jamali.
There are 2 tasks that infuriate me to the point of not wanting to watch the task, or even the whole episode. One of them is the impress the mayor task, and the other one is this.
Curious. Do they have something in common? Is there something fantastic that nobody saw?
Still WAY better than the task that came after, the infamous luggage security one.
@@homagetogorto the mayor task is, as I'm aware, one of the most hated tasks for folks, purely for the gringe factor!😆 Especially over poor Jon. 😁 That's partly it, but also the concept of please a figure of power and in politics... just rubs me the wrong way. 😂 Calendar one I know I'm alone in finding it infuriating. I struggle understanding SO MANY adults just not knowing the lenghts of months. Even once I realised that it's just one of those things that is simple for some, and to others something that never sticks. I then just get bored: like, why is this a task, just look it up argh. (I swear I CAN be fun at parties!😆 sorry for a long reply!😁)
@@iliketrains3495 I feel like that could've been one of the all time greats, similar to s9 hide the puzzle pieces task, but I feel like none of them did it "right", and it just sorta fell apart.
@@nvrmnde I didn't realize the mayor task was generally disliked. Personally I found Katherine's rap to be far more cringey and sycophantic. I thought Jon was just being his normal awkward self. But I see your point - it's like the "make a 55 year old" task in the mall in Series 1, too much like a prank show when you involve outsiders. I'm glad they mostly moved away from that sort of thing, though sometimes it's amazing (Rosalind's a f-ing legend!).
Months that dont have 31 days:
2 - February
4 - April
6 - June
9 - September
11 - November
UK time, the first plane hit the WTC at 2:46 on 9-11.
Bloody hell, I assumed you were making that up for comedic effect - plus I remembered the first plane going in at just gone the hour. I looked it up and you’re right. I’m remembering the second plane at 3.03pm. Well!
