Each contestant's idea of being seduced: Sian - compliments and kindness Iain - acts of service Paul - intelligence and status Lou - sensitivity and respect Joe - the sweet release of death
The first episode always feels like the first day of school and all your friends are together in the other class and you're stuck with a bunch of strangers. By the end of the series, you have never known anyone else, these people are all you need. I love this show.
Well put. I felt that for this series especially since i didnt know any of these people before this series - every other series has at least 1 person that I'm familiar with. But by the end i was sad that it had to end because i enjoyed them all as much as any other series' contestants
Exactly! By the end everyone has a nickname, has said something totally inappropriate, has fallen in some way, shape or form and has been yelled at by the extremely exasperated teacher. The best ways to go from strangers to friends.

And he was working at a disadvantage, however minimal: he was the only one of the five who had snow on the ground, and whose progress could have been trackable.
Can I just say, I love Iain's ranting and incoherent screaming during the puppets task. "Wellitsnotapuppetisitwellitsnotapuppetisit!? Itsnotapuppet not a puppet, it's a BANK with A SPEAKER IN ITS HEAD!" That was hilarious.
It was a perfect opportunity for Greg to award him the full 5 points for the task, and then penalise him 10 points for his puppet based pedantry outburst.
@@seanr1899 I think it'll be quite a bit longer, since season 10 only just aired. They have to get the new cast to do all the tasks and I think that generally takes several months.
I gotta say it took me 8 seasons to realize that Alex is the reason this show is so brilliant. Weird comic timing, perfect awkwardness in persona, and genius tasks.
“I play the guitar but I wait to be asked” is great. We all know those people who carry around their guitars and just play whenever they want regardless of the social situation. So annoying.
RIGHT that was truly the most seductive thing that was said. People playing guitar in social situations, especially when theyre playing songs nobody knows, is my pet peeve
There should be a series with Iain, Acaster, Daisy May, and Romesh and have it be the Rage edition (Ragemaster?). I'm not sure who the 5th would be, maybe Rhod to rile them up or Mel to keep them from burning the place down.
I so feel Sian on, "Can we just keep going?" for the hide and seek task. It seemed so fun! I want that to be a new sport people play! *And* it'd work with social distancing! So many variations i can think of too! Could do it with a paintball sniper, not blaring notice for when things change, so many ways. *Love* that task.
I have nothing but appreciation and gratitude for Mr. Horne and everyone working on Taskmaster. This show, for me, is one of the few good things about this year.
Pity they're down to mostly d-level celebs though. Truly scraping the bottom of the barrel for the most part this season. The current (10th season) has actually funny/talented participants.
@@zybch I'm watching all of these for the first time and out of the first 8 series I have only known of one of them from before Taskmaster. Noel Fielding, because of IT Crowd. Everyone else has been strangers to me and I've enjoyed each series!
was series 10 filmed during the pandemic? I haven't watched it yet but they sit really far away from each other and since the series was uploaded just prior to series 8 (for reason I don't know) I assume it's what you're referring to
Does anyone else want to just wrap Joe Thomas up in a big hug and tell him everything’s going to be alright and/or go into a room and have an existential crisis with him?
It’s sad looking back now that Paul has been diagnosed with Parkinson’s. It’s also interesting because in the first task he struggles with hearing and Parkinson’s has been linked to hearing loss.
If your interested, there's a reddit page called r/notapanelshow and people upload the episodes there usually not long after broadcast. They've got series 10 (just finished) up now.
Yes! I was hoping we would get seasons 8 and 9 after the end of season 10! I am so happy the producers or whomever managed to convince whoever needed to be convinced to put the entire show on TH-cam FOR FREE! Merry Christmas to me and indeed to everyone!
As soon as I saw the outfits on stage I knew this was it. The algorithm sent me the task at the train yard and I loved it so much it led me to now where I'm watching the whole show from the first series. This was the task that hooked me! Love the show, thanks for making it available for us Canucks!!
I just noticed: on the wording of the trainyard task, it was "the task starts when Alex ducks down, one minute from now." There was nothing preventing them from starting to move at that point, before the task had started. They could have just sprinted towards Alex, in plain sight, for 70 seconds before he was actually allowed to "see" them.
28:43 this was the task that introduced me to Taskmaster, I just randomly got recommended this task a few months ago, and I've been stuck watching ever since.
It's so cute! I just googled to see if either Joe or Ian was gay or bi because I was curious. Seems that neither of them is (as far as wikipedia says) but Paul Sinha apparently is gay and married to a man. My gaydar failed me big time tonight.
@@Zachafinackus Series 10 is on this channel but it's complete shit by comparison. The contestants are completely inept in a non-entertaining way. I was really excited to watch Johnny Vegas in that one too :(
@@Zachafinackus Series 10 is on this channel and just ended last week, that's why S8 started this week, I guess you're in the US and it's blocked there so that's why you don't see it.
The "Get Close to Alex" task is the most fun looking task I've seen on this show, one that I really want to play my strategy you ask? When you hear the siren, just get tf down and don't move
Iain going "OOOHHHHH :D" when the banana(that he was peeling with his foot under a time limit) popped off the rest of the bunch already pre-peeled, is exactly what Taskmaster is all about. Getting ridiculously excited over a positive turn in a situation you would NEVER be in outside of the show.
I have never commented on a TH-cam video before but I thought I should just say that being from Canada, it is tough to find British programming and this is by far one of my favouite shows. It brings a lot of laughs from some of the best British personalities and comics out there! I have to say that James Acaster's season has been my favourite so far, but I look forward to all of the hilarious people that are brought onto this genius of a program! Thank you for posting them online! I'm so excited for. more laughs with my family and friends!
The task in the train station is the first thing I've ever seen from the Taskmaster show. TH-cam suggested it to me during the first lockdown in France. I thought it was hilarious and I couldn't stop laughing. I litterally binged the show during the lockdown. It became pretty much my only source of laughter during this period. So yeah, thank you for that, Little Alex Horne and Greg Davies.
I just came across this show yesterday for some unknown reason. And I must say, at first, I wasn’t sure I would enjoy it. But I am absolutely hooked! I truly wish the US had game shows where brains are used and it’s comical. Y’all got a new fan and subscriber! Thanks for this wonderful production!!!
I'm so happy that Taskmaster Series 8 is finally getting put up! The "Get close to Alex" task is what started me watching this show on TH-cam! TH-cam started recommending individual tasks, and "Get close to Alex" was incredibly memorable. I found it ridiculous, and I loved it. When I realized that there were full episodes on the official channel, I started to catch up for real. And now, we finally got to *the* episode! I will, of course, continue watching, because this is still ridiculous and fun. But I live in the United States, so this TH-cam channel is basically my only source for the show.
I've seen so many of the shows that Lou has worked and wrote on, but this is my first time really seeing her on screen and she's genuinely brilliant! No wonder she's so successful!
The railyard task - "your task starts when Alex ducks down for the first time, one minute from now." There was no requirement that they stand there on the first bridge until Alex ducked - they could have run for cover immediately.
Ah, yes..FINALLY! I fell in love with @Taskmaster watching the "hide-and-seek" task and started binge-watching all the series to finally get to it! What a journey.. thanks Taskmaster staff, for all the laughs!
The hiding task is the first I ever watched. TH-cam recommended me a clip of that by chance. Now here I am, 7 seasons of Taskmaster later and still watching :D
The hide and seek task with my first exposure to Taskmaster. I didn’t know any of the people involved, but I immediately went looking for more. Months later, I look forward to these idiots every Thursday.
Whenever I start a series, I’m excited about the people I recognize. When I finish an episode, I’m excited about how much I love the people I didn’t recognize.
i kept trying to figure out what that weird chinese character on the wall that looked like a really poorly written 布 was supposed to be, until i finally realized when the episode was almost over that it was a stylized T M for Taskmaster 😂
It's 2 characters, not 1. Also, they're Japanese, not Chinese. That's important because one of the characters is a katakana rather than a kanji - if you're familiar with Chinese but not Japanese, the katakana would explain why you had trouble reading it. The characters are 「ナ巾」 Those characters in that order are absolutely meaningless in Japanese and in Chinese, but as you said, they vaguely look like "TM" in English.
The US is finally getting this season? I wish we would have known and I would have waited for it on YT. Simultaneous releases are always better, here's hoping for the new season soon
The US got this season in summer, when 8 and 9 were sold to the CW. They aired this episode, edited it to hell, then yanked all the rest from broadcast and stuck them online.
UK this has been available on the Dave on demand for a while but it just got added to TH-cam for the UK as well. They started a few months ago uploading one episode a week and are at season 8 now. They paused for season 10 and started back uploading the old ones once it was over.
actually, I find the tomato smell very interesting. And this is mostly because it is (apart from vinegar) the only one of these smells that I can recreate in my brain.

Each contestant's idea of being seduced:
Sian - compliments and kindness
Iain - acts of service
Paul - intelligence and status
Lou - sensitivity and respect
Joe - the sweet release of death
I'd call that a fair assessment.
what is the sweet release of death but an act of service?

The railyard task looks like the most fun task ever
agreed!
It is a hard choice between that and "recreate a Video Game" end of S7.
Legitimately, I think that would be fun to do just with friends or something for no reason. Looks like a solid way to spend some time.
@Heksje Lilly If by some miracle you remember this, respond and let me know how it goes!
It's a child's game called German Spotlight. (Don't think about it lol) we play it in the us
“DIDN’T MAKE ONE, DIDN’T MAKE ONE. NO POINTS. VENT PUPPET.”

Joe Thomas' performance during the railway station task was truly impeccable
He's like Solid Snake
Thank you
I am quite jealous of him.
Alex: huh, what was that noise?
@@nidebauMust have been the wind…
I saw the "hide yourself in the trainyard" task almost a year ago. From this day on I was a changed man...
It's the one that got me to binge watch all the episodes at the time, and keep up with it as they came out.
This was also the task that sucked me into Taskmaster!
The train yard task also was my gateway to addiction
I think we all got sucked in by the Algorithm that day!
I sorta want to try that irl
Say what you want, but Joe Thomas is the most relatable TM contestant yet - socially awkward AND perpetually confused
Also extremely cute and handsome at the same time
And very hard working while surprisingly good at physical activities.
@@Monday_____ it is but it's kinda not completely an act. and obviously big part of it is based on his real personality
@@whereverover Its propably an exageration of his real personality, I'd guess. Never saw his other work though I only know him from Taskmaster.

”How did you get from the big jar into the...”

@@sfshinz I thought he was at a disadvantage because he could slip, but that is a very good point about being trackable.
@@sfshinz You have to assume Alex wasn't allowed to use stuff like that. Hence why he didn't look down when he said he could hear him.
Joe Thomas and Alex Horne were made for each other, their combined social awkwardness is a treat.

“No it was a fox.”
“The fox was wearing a boiler suit.”

And there she goes with the bin
I wanted her to stay the bin. I wonder if he would’ve noticed a roving bin.

The task in the train station is the first thing I've ever seen from the Taskmaster show. TH-cam suggested it to me during the first lockdown in France. I thought it was hilarious and I couldn't stop laughing. I litterally binged the show during the lockdown. It became pretty much my only source of laughter during this period. So yeah, thank you for that, Little Alex Horne and Greg Davies.
I just came across this show yesterday for some unknown reason. And I must say, at first, I wasn’t sure I would enjoy it. But I am absolutely hooked! I truly wish the US had game shows where brains are used and it’s comical. Y’all got a new fan and subscriber! Thanks for this wonderful production!!!
I'm so happy that Taskmaster Series 8 is finally getting put up! The "Get close to Alex" task is what started me watching this show on TH-cam! TH-cam started recommending individual tasks, and "Get close to Alex" was incredibly memorable. I found it ridiculous, and I loved it. When I realized that there were full episodes on the official channel, I started to catch up for real. And now, we finally got to *the* episode!
I will, of course, continue watching, because this is still ridiculous and fun. But I live in the United States, so this TH-cam channel is basically my only source for the show.
The bridge hide and seek game has been my favorite from any series! So fun!
Didn’t miss a beat. So clutch. Merry Christmas, Taskmaster!
I've seen so many of the shows that Lou has worked and wrote on, but this is my first time really seeing her on screen and she's genuinely brilliant! No wonder she's so successful!
I was worried they'd stopped posting these forever. It's a Christmas miracle!
I nearly choked at "no, it was a fox"
This is the best show in the world, I'm not kidding. Greg might be one of the reasons why.
The railyard task - "your task starts when Alex ducks down for the first time, one minute from now." There was no requirement that they stand there on the first bridge until Alex ducked - they could have run for cover immediately.
I am amazed you keep on coming up with such fun tasks after so long! The train yard dash made me feel young at heart and so tense
OH GOD what a Christmas gift ! Thank you taskmaster 🙌🏼❤️
I’ve gotta say I absolutely loved Joe’s puppetry performance. It made me laugh so gosh darn hard with his awkward energy XD
i know nobody is going to see this but i need to share that i met iain a couple of times as a kid and he was the sweetest person ever
Seen this series several times now, and his character arc is a memorable one!
Ah, yes..FINALLY! I fell in love with @Taskmaster watching the "hide-and-seek" task and started binge-watching all the series to finally get to it! What a journey.. thanks Taskmaster staff, for all the laughs!
This season has a whole bunch of my all time favourite tasks. Alex and Tim Key came up with some amazing ones.
Wow finally.
I gave up after watching 2 episodes in lower quality on other channels, decided it's not worth it.
Now i can watch in official channel...
The hiding task is the first I ever watched. TH-cam recommended me a clip of that by chance. Now here I am, 7 seasons of Taskmaster later and still watching :D
Heck yes!
The hide and seek task with my first exposure to Taskmaster. I didn’t know any of the people involved, but I immediately went looking for more. Months later, I look forward to these idiots every Thursday.
Whenever I start a series, I’m excited about the people I recognize. When I finish an episode, I’m excited about how much I love the people I didn’t recognize.
This is one of my favourite episodes and cast. Joe Thomas is such an endearing contestant.
22:25 No points, no points, VENT PUPPET.
holy cow this bit had me rolling on the floor laughing
Well, time to fall in love with Lou Sanders all over again.
it’s only one episode and i’m in love 😩
Stop me if you're getting turned on...and then she throws banana on her face withe her feet.
How could anyone not fall in love? :D
Definitely something attractive about her
i kept trying to figure out what that weird chinese character on the wall that looked like a really poorly written 布 was supposed to be, until i finally realized when the episode was almost over that it was a stylized T M for Taskmaster 😂
Same here!
It's 2 characters, not 1.
Also, they're Japanese, not Chinese. That's important because one of the characters is a katakana rather than a kanji - if you're familiar with Chinese but not Japanese, the katakana would explain why you had trouble reading it.
The characters are 「ナ巾」
Those characters in that order are absolutely meaningless in Japanese and in Chinese, but as you said, they vaguely look like "TM" in English.
This was me too. My mind kept trying to make sense of them as Japanese characters for a solid minute
The US is finally getting this season? I wish we would have known and I would have waited for it on YT. Simultaneous releases are always better, here's hoping for the new season soon
The US got this season in summer, when 8 and 9 were sold to the CW. They aired this episode, edited it to hell, then yanked all the rest from broadcast and stuck them online.
UK this has been available on the Dave on demand for a while but it just got added to TH-cam for the UK as well. They started a few months ago uploading one episode a week and are at season 8 now. They paused for season 10 and started back uploading the old ones once it was over.

Did Joe just pull a Jim Halpert?
I'm not even past the prize task and I already love them all...
actually, I find the tomato smell very interesting. And this is mostly because it is (apart from vinegar) the only one of these smells that I can recreate in my brain.
10:36 Alex laughing because he knows how true that is for Joe
