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

You need a MISSING THE MARK compilation. Where contestants read the task and forgot it immediately. Mawan with the hoola hoop moving in series 10. Lolly moving the water bowls, Aisling cutting the bread in the caravan, and others i cant remember off the top of my head.
I second this
The bread in the caravan was golden.
Roisin barely grazing her watermelon after spending all her time looking for a knife.
Iian's don't touch the sand, don't move the bucket, don't leave the room task.
Mel's camouflage yourself task.
@@misscryptoria also acaster's circle thing
@@everydaydoge40 I forgot about that. "My eyes are circles?"
Mel versus the Diabetic Japanese Pagoda gets me every time. It's just the way her little face crumples up as she reads the second envelope and she realises the magnitude of the task she's set herself. She was a BASTION of positivity and good cheer throughout the series, but her little "ohhh, gang..." was the nearest I've seen her come to despair.
The way she says ohhh gang makes me think that she thought she wasn’t going to come out that room alive
'Eat your sandwich' is by far the best surprise task, because you can see the horror on everyone's face when they realize they've got to eat the monstrosities they've just made (or, in Noel's case, Alex)
‘Diabetic Japanese pagoda’ oml
You wrote this beautifully
Diabetic Japanese pagoda name of my new band called it!
You can tell these are Alex’s favourite ones.
These are basically everybody's favorite ones. These are all amongst the very best tasks ever.
@@angelomaximus7552 has anyone ever fallen for this?
@@Aledharris his friend appearently
Thats because they don't involve cake
Mel’s sandwich is exactly what a 6 year old would make in the same situation
Pretty much everything Mel does in the series gives off Big "six year old girl who made a wish on a magic fortune telling machine to become a grown-up" Energy.
I think Mel was possibly my favourite contestant of all time on this show. She’s just so relentlessly positive and upbeat all the time, no matter what they throw at her. “Oh, gang...”
Absolutely, very similar to Charlotte in series 11. They're both just so overwhelmingly positive.
@@scarletbanana6429 I forget which one did they give a bunch of impossible tasks to just to try and break the cheer?
@@Ertwin123 It was Mel, season 4 episode 6.
I agree, Mel is def one of my favorite contestants. HOWEVER, Judi Love really shocked me. She was consistently hilarious throughout the series.
I thought it was just me! She's my absolute fav, a little ball of sunshine. She may not have the smartest approach but I love her positivity. What a delight to watch.
“Tie Yourself Up” is one of the best tasks in the series
Which episode of season 7 is that again?
It's not clear in this compilation that the putting a boiler suit on when the alarm sounds was a separate task that they'd all forgotten about, genius! 😂
My favorite task by far
@@andykey78 thankyou for this! was wondering wtf was going on
And definitely the best cast.
I can't stop watching Alex struggle to say, ""it's an m&m"
My favourite part!
You can
@@themug406 You're right, I did, and now I'm going to start again! :)
Noticed they cut out the bit where Alex was fooled by Rhod tying him up. When a plan backfires.
Eh. That has its own video. I was glad to see Acaster hop hop hop.
As Cherie said, that's in another video and it also doesn't fit the theme of this collection, which is about Alex, or a task fooling the contestants, not the other way around.
That was some great thinking by Rhod though.
My thought was to hide in a locked room so Alex couldn’t get to me to untie me, but Rhod’s was pure genius. That & the video game recreation are my fave Rhod moments!
@@klaythoring1326 I was going to say that that relies on a door being lockable but you could sit in front of it, as they aren't going to break it down. Nice solution.
Rhod had a lot of great moments but that's why people kept asking for him to be on the show. :-)
"oh how the turn tables"
That chocolate one in the fishbowl task gets me EVERY TIME. Alex's face as he holds up the envelope is priceless.
That's his expression in most of the show.
@@Myzelfa Very true, but it seems quite fitting for the situation.
I find it equally enjoyable when the contestants get one over on Alex, but also when Alex gets one over them. He gets great enjoyment from revealing something they all missed.
@@lwaves look under the table is still my fave - just SO in their faces XD
HIV
It never ceases to amaze me how the creativity in this show has never declined once, despite the fact that 10 seasons/series have been made. And the fact that said creativity is used not only to create the tasks, but to completely fuck with the contestants as well, is even better. Absolute magnum opus of television.
also for the contestants to mess with ALex by finding work arounds. I think one season he was very specific in the wording of each task so there were less work arounds.
The creativity hasn't declined once? Do you not remember "throw something into a bin?" That was this show's nadir.
@@LoneKharnivore I'll pass my judgement later this week
Except season 10.... Train wreck of a cast
@@jeremyk5414 Yeah, so far season 10 had the weakest cast. I blame covid
I'd like a compilation of all the times Alex is seen giggling in the background
Laughing Alex is the best!
Cue every single Katherine Parkinson task.
Definitely, moments when Alex cracked up or showed dispare 🤣
@@johnmurray9526 The task with Desiree and Guz solving the riddle is one of my all time favourites, largely because Alex is laughing so hard in the background.
“We make the rules sausage gloves!”
a quote by which to live your life
'my agent said this would be a good career opportunity"
It is. They're comedians... and IMO this is comedy gold!
@@stevetennispro Thats the point, its a joke
Timestamp?
@@ritasmith6239 they cut it off in this compilation but it's in season 7 episode 10 from Jessica after the tie yourself up task
When the task does not say "fastest wins" or "best ***** wins" before "your time starts now", you should know, something is up.
excellent point
A fine selection, but to make one suggestion for a task that should've been here, all I'll say is 3 words:
*UNDER THE TABLE*
Someones been listening to the taskmaster podcast
DEBAJO DE LA MASA?
*MESA Gracias E W
Totally agree. How could that have been omitted?
I was thinking of that one the whole time
@@jenelaina5665 *mesa
Lo siento
I love that Mel says "I can see why people get stressed out on those cookery shows...this is appallingly stressful" because A) she doesn't name check Bake Off and B) she thinks what she is doing is cooking 😂
C) she says “these cooking shows” as if Taskmaster is a cooking show
Cooking: the act of preparing food for eating (especially by heating)
Technically, she did cook something. She prepared something for eating. That is the definition of cooking.
@@Sinsults unwrapping a chocolate bar isn’t cooking, nor is making a sandwich (and that involves a toaster!)…you could call it that, but I’d say something needs to be heated with a hob or oven or equivalent
@@JJLiu-xc3kg Bake: cook (food) by dry heat without direct exposure to a flame, typically in an oven or on a hot surface.
What you're describing is baking. Cooking is the preparation of food, often (but not always) by using heat. You can cook without heating something, by definition. I can't change the definitions of terms.
@@Sinsults Well, you can. You just have to get enough people to use the word in the new way for long enough, and then it effectively means what you have had said it means.
It's a bit tricky to manage, though, I'll admit.
This is the reason why I always carry a pen with me everywhere, just in case I have to memorize a deck of cards.
I don’t understand how anyone goes on taskmaster without a pen in their pocket
@@chelseawildflowerloftinwey1945 Or without looking down
@@DeathnoteBB Sometimes looking up is required (the words "under the table" being above the door)
@@deathsheir2035 After Portal’s developer commentary I don’t expect people to look up I guess XD
Alex barely able to croak out "an M&M" while trying not to laugh is one of my absolute favorite things.
In earlier series, there were task that had the contestants prepare food for Alex to taste, and they made him eat some terrible stuff. The sandwich task was a glorious reversal.
Alex's Revenge
I really felt for him in the "Make your own Marmite" task... Absinthe?! (that stings).
I hear "revenge is a dish best served cold", just didn't realise it was sandwich shaped; what an ingenious trap!
Revenge For What They Put Alex Through, 100% Karma.
@@mkiel705 You dont need to caps every word
And then in series 12, Morgana made the glorious reversal to the glorious reversal
I just realized. If you tied your hands... then went for a jog, and started evading when Alex was to untie you... it would take him a long time to untie you!
I thought that's what James was trying to do at 11:10, but it wouldn't have worked because he had his legs tied up.
What was better was what Rhod did. He tied Alex up in the chair. So when the bell sounded he strolled over to put on the jumpsuit.
Once Alex was secure, he tied his own hands. Alec couldn’t get out of the chair.
So he won 2 tasks at once.
Rhod could think rings around the design team in season 1. They were much better at designing and limiting tasks after that.
Tying Alex up, being in a room blocking the door, or even laying down to ensure he can't get to the knots would probably all be easier and take less effort though
When the guy only had 2 mins left before alex started to untie him, he should have legged it out that gate and into a taxi!
@@redelfshotthefood8213 Maybe Rhod could have thought rings around the design team in season 1, but he wasn't a contestant until season 7 you muppet. What you are saying is nonsense.
11:00 I like how they forgot to add in the part where they explain what the siren _means,_ so to the uninitiated it looks like James Acaster just goes banans, runs inside, throws on a boiler suit, and throws himself prone for literally no reason
Getting context for that is the exact reason I'm going through the comments LMAO
(Edit: I did find an explanation further down.)
Joe being so confident telling Noel he's fucked, before utterly failing at containing his own items. The folly of man
Especially considering it’s the ONLY time in the series that Joe came dead last in a task.
"I'm not really into fun."
How British.
So I've only just discovered this show and in the last 24 hours I've been binging clips I have learnt three things - 1) always check the back of the paper, 2) always check the table (all the way round and underneath) and 3) Greg and Alex are knobs haha
I hope you've watched them all in the last 7 months??
I love Greg's look of disgust when Noel dumps all the objects in his lap.
The Season 7 boiler suit callback is the best task in the show and i really hope they bring something similar in later series'
or they could just play the noise and see if anyone remembers xD
imagine if in the champion of champions a siren goes off, no one notices except kerry who just flips the f out
@@CucumberpatchAddict YES
"We make the rules, sausage-gloves" is just one of many reasons why season 4 was one of the best. The whole ensemble was worked great, but Mel is unintentionally hilarious just being herself.
What do you mean unintentionally, shes a comedian
As amazing as the boilersuit callback was, the best past of that task was Rhod gaming the system and tying up Alex instead.
Mel's reading the second envelope is possibly my favorite moment from that season. "Oh, gang."
“Something has gone up my nose”
Ever helpful Alex just laughs
"Without moving the fish bowl" instantly lost it remembering this
"It doesn't say *to* the chair..."
Ties himself to the chair.
Absolute best part is Alex realizing that rhod has played an uno reverse card in response to his own reverse card in the tying up task
I was honestly expecting the last one to just be, "now put all of the items back on the table in the exact positions they were to begin with," and my strategy would have literally been to just do nothing, but I'm even more pleased that Noel had basically the perfect strategy.
I've seen the card task so many times and I've *just* realised the task doesn't actually say you have to name the cards from memory.
You could just give each individual card back to Alex and name each one out loud.
The term "currently" about the order of the cards could also be interpreted as when you give them to Alex. I was facepalming over the fact that no one took the 5 minutes to just sort the cards into each suit in order. Then you just have to remember the order of the suits.
...did you not watch the task? It's no normal deck of cards
I would love a “terrific/devastating edits” mashup.
Frank: some will take the first 45 minutes realizing it’s better if they’re wet
cut
Romesh: I just realized I should probably wet them
Hugh: (holding a pool cue) that’s a very very very long thing isn’t it
cut
Noel: (snapping it in half)
sooo true
I think the Frank/Romesh is the best piece of editing in TV history.
I crack up every single time
@@personalprophecy281 you know it’s hilarious because Romesh is shown laughing at the clip.
greg and alex giggling like little schoolboys after the chocolate reveal
James wasn't tricked with the rope one, he just forgot what the task was lol.
No, he was tricked. As were the others. They'd only been told at an earlier point that the horn would go off 'at some stage' - they had no knowledge it would go off during that particular task. None of the 5 anticipated it - just Rhod and Phil were lucky (or Rhod unintentionally rewarded for his clever tactic of tieing up Alex) that they hadn't tied themselves up by the time the horn went off.
@@philh5292 ok, what is the context of the horn going off?
@@acolytetojippity
Sorry, I meant 'siren', not horn.
They'd been cryptically told earlier in the episode: "in a future task, when you hear the siren sound, put on a boiler suit and lie on the ground."
But they hadn't been told which task it would be during. And, of course, it's all edited together so there was probably some time, and maybe plenty of other tasks, between the cryptic siren information, and the tieing up task. So none of the contestants knew the siren was going to go off during that particular task. Which is why James reacted like he did - half annoyed that he didn't see it coming, half admiring he'd been tricked like that (he's a big fan of the show so probably felt he should have seen it coming). Rhod was a bit slower to remember what the siren meant than the others when it did go off, but he was then in a position to be a lot quicker than the others as he'd come up with a great tactic for the tieing up task (it was just extra lucky for him that it also coincided with the mystery siren task). 🙂
We need a compilation of contestants‘ angry meltdowns, like the one from S10 by Daisy May Cooper towards Richard Herring
And Daisy's "make a cocktail quietly" disintegration into madness.
@@MichaelCoombes776 I just laughed out loud remembering that, Daisy was such a good contestant
Especially for the use of the phrase "I'm apoplectic with rage".
Acaster had some good ones in this category 🤣
@@Mia199603 omg the build the extension task and his rant about Rhod and garage 😂🤣
I love Noel asking Alex if he needs money for the sandwich shopping.
Bag for life? 😂
These are always the best, and Rhod taking his sweet time with the Boiler suit is a Taskmaster classic
Her sandwich had enough calories to sustain a small village for a week, but the nutritional value of a styrofoam.
I think I got DKA just looking at the damn thing! O_o'
Iain: “Yeah, that’s how you say it if you’re a sarcky sister.”
Alex: “I’m not a sarky sister!” *grins*
Greg: “You are a sarcky sister.”
Alex: “Thank you. Thank you.”
16:34
Thats not how youd spell sarky
"Can I say this is a really shit idea"
Now that's most ideas
11:10 probably should have included the clip where they addressed the boiler suit task
For the sandwich task I thought "get a slice of bread, put it on the ground. Ask someone in New Zealand to do the same. Earth sandwich."
Then I heard "eat your sandwich" and thought "well, shit..."
How quickly can you source a Kiwi?
Nah it's alright, just bite into the bread and maybe ingest some dirt. Sorted
Edit: just had an idea: All water on Earth has supposedly been consumed and excreted by dinosaurs. Why not just pour some water onto some bread and eat that
Well Noel tied a slice of bread on either side of Alex's head, and made him do an exotic dance so...
this might be the most joyful show on tv today, globally
My favourite was Ed Gamble in the lab. Alex asked him to say a letter. Then Ed thought he outsmarted Alex, only for alex to pull out another task
My favorite was the charades one
They got fooled, tricked, bamboozled, betrayed
C'mon thesaurus
*THERE'S STRENGTH IN ARCHES*
"I think you're fucked, Noel."
Oh, Joe, did you forget to whom you were speaking.
Also, I love how this show kept telling Noel he could do whatever he wants.
Can I destroy this briefcase?
Do whatever you want.
Can I dump these random objects in Greg's lap?
Do whatever you want.
TM decided from the beginning they weren't going to have Noel Fielding on their show and then have him NOT Noel Fielding.
"Is it sexual?"
The silence from Alex is deafening
They should do a We Got Fooled next, there's been a cheeky few times where they really got Alex and Greg!
Man, I didn't realize how disproportionately they did this to Hugh, Joe, Lolly, Mel, and Noel
When the mnm went up Mel's nose I literally started crying and wheezing with laughter. That whole segment is pure happiness.
I can only hope to one day be as calm, cool, and collected as Mel is when faced with eating a loaf of exotic diabetes 😂
How was she any of that
Acaster would have loved the part about having to explain oneself in the third person
The fact that you didn't show Liza's, Asim's and Tim's attempt at the Fun task is almost criminal.
BMXing!
There are so many iconic moments on this show I guess it’s hard to pick ALL of them, there are so many
What's the fun task called? I couldn't find it.
I would love to see a compilation of every time someone has outrageously good/bad luck in a task
Rose Matefeo opening the envelopes in a good order, but still messing it up
Tim Vine ending up with the hook on his shirt.
throwing the potato
I'm thinking of this after watching Taskmaster NZ season 1, with Angella and the leave the room task.
Noel's strategy of just being weird enough to be great, seemed to work wonders in the last task
“Have the most fun. You have three minutes.”
“Well that’s all I need.”
Greg looking at the items on his crotch in utter bewilderment is my favourite moment ever.
1:10 Mel knows when something’s a good bake
Clicked so fast I didn't know there was a second half to the tasks yet.
I absolutely adore mel, she was so positive throughout her season
The cheer for Hugh at 4:30 is brilliant!
I hope this series goes on for 25 seasons and ends with the champion of champion of champions
Not showing Rhod Gilbert fooling the absolute shit out of Alex in the "tie yourself up" task, what a shame. Easily a top 3 moment for me from all 10 seasons.
I cried the first time I saw Mel get the M&M up her nose. It broke me.
I really hope Hugh Dennis enjoyed being on Taskmaster. IMO he was being wound up to a point it was actually unfair...
I’ve always thought that.
The thing is, he has 'resting bitch face.' Unlike Mel, who always looks delighted.
I read once that by the time you're 50, you get the face you deserve.
Cases in point.
@@jzthompson9598 Aw, I love both of them. 😁
Man in my opinion the Hugh Dennis season was rigged against him. He was the only one who showed presence of mind and creativity during the tasks and yet they always managed to put it against him xD
I think Noel showed a lot of creativity.
@@kaldo8907 Agreed! But I think Hugh was consistent in his out of the box and analytical thinking.
He aced the treadmill though
I feel like maybe they got mad at him for his (admittedly hilariously awful) sketch of the woman in the caravan where he used the mirror, and decided to judge him more harshly from there on out.
Defo got done dirty a lot
"I think you're fucked, Noel".
YOU FOOL, THAT JUST MADE HIM MORE POWERFUL!
It didnt
I do love Hugh winning the fish bowl task purely because the rest got their points docked.
I appreciate Mel trying to help Joe. She really is lovely
That tie yourself up task is the sort of thing I have nightmares about.
debajo de la mesa
17:47 I love that Alex decided to define "fun", as if he's making sure we're all on the same page. Moments like that are easy to forget but they make this show just so delightful.
No? Its an ambiguous word so its not odd theyd define it
rustle and alice having fun were like the perfect couple, 'let me get you whine' : instantly goes back to football
Lol Rustle
I was just thinking that the new series was gonna come out on Thursday, and for a second I thought they lied to us
I figured it out because I recognized the thumbnail from the sandwich task.
WE got fooled, innit?
13:03 good to know I’ll be seeing Greg hurriedly walking towards me in my nightmares tonight and every night for the rest of the week.
1 year on and it still haunts me every night
Ahh swearing, nice to hear that in place of dings all the time!
the tie yourself up task is probably the greatest in taskmaster history
The M&M in Mel's nose was my favourite part of this 😂😭😂
Why is Jon Richardson and the supplies under the table not in here??!
I agree. Why is that one 'under' appreciated. ;)
Or... what am I on about? ;)
I thought I'm the only think of this!
i just love how Mel actually attempted to eat her sandwich
It's really just a deluxe smore if you think about it
The final task in the video I think was absolutely not a fooled moment.
"eat your exotic sandwich" is the greatest plot twist in the history of the show
That would go to potato hole
"even if I don't win I got to feel up Greg" ............
Favorite moment of Human history: an m&m in a nose🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
can we just take a moment and just appreciate how precious Mel is. absolutely adorable.
Mel is literally a big cheerful child at heart and I love it
4:34 never noticed before - Mel was wearing 2 different colour shoes
she put on the black shoe for the studio task in the previous episode (they film more than one in a day)
I was having a little heartattack, I thought it meant that series 11 was not beginning next thursday 😅
But i don't think they'll post season 11 now , will they?
@@patch7809 they did it with series 10, so I think and very much hope they do 11 too 🤞 fingers crossed
@@Klaproossje although it will probably be geo blocked
Fingers crossed 🤞. Waiting for series 9 though. From the clips, it seems real funny. Especially ed gamble
@@patch7809 they did post series 8 after series 10, so maybe and again hopefully they do post series 9 after 11 ☺️
Oh come on, April fools is just half a month away xD Would be perfect compilation for that
I thought that too but than I realized that it's also very funny to release it half a month away and then upload it again on April Fools
My only criticism of Taskmaster is the food waste. Absolutely love everything else about it.
They've mentioned a few times that they've donated to a food bank after certain tasks because the food waste was a lot. I do hate that food waste is a massive part of UK comedy
It makes absolutely 0 difference
How dare you not include Noel's exotic sandwich!
"it's not that type of show."
Ah yes, the M&M's sandwich, my first memory of this show
That was the clip that got me started with taskmaster :D
I would like to argue that since he spat it out due to its taste, Joe didn't technically eat any of the chocolate
What is love?
This is my first time ever seeing a clip of task master - I have missed out on so much GOLD oh my word
12:55 can't believe they didn't show the rope tying one for when Alex got fooled by Rhod tying *him* up!
We make the rules "Sausage-gloves"
