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

Joe Lycett being the only contestant to get 0 seconds on a task is the biggest power move ever.

Joe's quiet but obviously deep satisfaction over the mayonnaise jar just hits me every time.
Technically, he didn't open the jar once the task started
@@thomasreese2816 didn't need to mate
@@thomasreese2816 Yeah, really to complete the task he should have put the lid back on and taken it off again
@@scz1770 but he kinda should’ve needed to tho, i mean i’m sure he’s opened mayonnaise jars before in his life and those didn’t count, so why should opening that one count when he hadn’t even started the task yet?
@@cooperswan534 because it's fucking funny, my guy
I'd argue the more iconic moment in the get a teabag into the mug task is Frank Skinner saying 'some idiot would take the first 45 minutes to realise you need to wet the bags' cut to Romesh realising that 40 minutes in.
Also Romesh arguing about cardboard boxes.
There is a light switch there. I don't think it probably is. But it would be silly to not at least try. It's much easier with the light on. Every one will do that.
That’s what I thought too!!!
@@qwertyTRiG "THERE WAS NO BOX!"
Anyone got the link to that clip?
Mel finding out she had to eat that sandwich is never not going to be funny
“Oh gang……..” 😂😂😂
It's really good but I honestly think that Noel Fielding's attempt is way more hilarious.
@@thedukeparty That and the look on her face when they revealed that eating the chocolate means you lose five points are priceless.
Eclipsed only by Noel finding out he had to somehow eat Alex.
So true. It brings a literal LOL every time.
I'm just happy Nish and Marks brilliant song got the recognition it deserves, immortalised on TH-cam.
The best (only good?) thing Nish has ever done.
@@kimiyamk Nahhhh. Nish is very good on things like The Bugle and is great on something called Taskmaster too.
It’s a shame they cut the clip short of “Rosalind is a fucking nightmare” though.
Agreed!!
They’re always good enough for me 💕
Favorite musical artist: *Mozart*
Favorite movie: *The Hangover (1 AND 2)*
Humans really are complex creatures, aren't we?
Given what we think we know of Mozart's sense of humor and personality, there's a non-zero chance he'd have loved the Hangover movies. If anything it probably doesn't have enough poop jokes for him.
@@cr1197 Yes, I do believe there's a solid chance that a man who wrote a song called "Lick my ass" would enjoy The Hangover trilogy.
I think she was lying haha
Never met anyone with the same name before.
@@RealBradMiller there are dozens of us! DOZENS!
The Nish-Mark song is of course iconic on it's own, but it's also the culmination of absolutely masterful character development for those two across the whole series. It's perfect.
Genuinely! This element running through the whole series, Mark and Nish's friendship all culminating is this is why S5 edges out S9 and S7 for me
Truly great series
I absolutely, love taskmaster and there are so many amazing moments, but that song has to be the best thing contestants have done.
It's not as funny as other stuff, it's nowhere near as clever as most, but it's just brilliant
i would listen to this song in the car if i could
@@TwoStacks217 Yeah it has a proper indie rock vibe, a nice heartwarming and yet nostalgic feel to it, it should be available for a roadtrip playlist
@@cogitorium1089 It really reminds me of The Flight of the Concords.
Mawan's use of the duck as a distraction was genius. The cow looking like plastic might have been a tip off if people didn't spend their time looking at the duck.
Agreed also just noticed there's a shadow on his top of the small cow. (Saw this clip so many times as well)
That was proper magic
I actually noticed right away it was a different colour, but still didn't think it was a small cow in a close up until the reveal.
Honestly, I just thought it was a giant plastic cow. Like, a life size plastic cow wouldn't even be top ten weirdest props for the show
@@themarquisdepressed2013 And they do have a life size plastic cow, the one Daisy shoved into a bush😂
Bob's four questions for Rosalind, as recounted by Greg, make me laugh concerningly loud every single time I watch it.
I'm laughing way too hard at 1am about that.
I think I nearly shit myself tbh
Worryingly, 'Do we strike you?' has made its way into my parents' vocabulary and they regularly appear round doorways saying it.
@@thesandwich5321 well do they?
Bob was evidently thinking she was a seagull disguised as a lady. You never know what Alex is up to after all!
E
Mel putting a seatbelt around the camel will never not be wholesome
She was precious
@DakovaL Doc Brown punching a fish will never not be funny
Thank you for bringing this to my attention
Mel is someone I wish I knew personally. She seems like one of the sweetest people ever.
How did I never notice this before? 🙆🏿♀️
Here's the thing with Mark and Nish, to truly appreciate how iconic this moment was, you need the context of how completely shit they were during the rest of the series 😂 and then THAT happened
Well, Nish anyway. Mark was second in the end, I think.
Doc Brown doesn't get nearly enough love as a contestant. He gave it 112%, and was an absolute hoot.
Shame he didn't like his time on the show, but I understand the pain of watching yourself fucking up and make unwise decisions over and over again out of panic.
Truth. And the show was still figuring itself out and gaining its feet in series 2. I'd love to see him back.
@@sparo_splat Has he said he didn't enjoy it? He never looked miserable.
@@mikemack9701 On the podcast he outright said it.
@@sparo_splat did he not enjoy doing the tasks or watching them back? I understand why he’d find the latter slightly humiliating 😅
mel's sandwich was absolutely hilarious and deserves to be here, but can we talk about how fucking funny it was that both joe and noel's first instinct was to wear the cover as a hat?
Those two are the same person in different fonts.
I did also expect them to read and do that task with it on lol
@@ItsCamille735 what a good way of putting it!
Also Noel’s sandwich was iconic too
The suspense of Mel in that car continuously talking about the tiny gap they were going to is I think one of the best examples of tension building in any TV show ever 😂
I feel very deeply that Tree Wizard should have been included here.
TREE WIZARDDD back from the dead to make a balloon
TREE WIZARDDDD
Tree Wizard! See him make a balloon. Tree Wizard!
Me too, I’m a very angry man
can't believe I forgot about this too
@@grant0013 hello Romesh
The Rosalind task has to be the most iconic task I've ever seen
It was a fucking nightmare
"Do we strike you? "
@@lv3212 Bob is just the best everyone can agree with that
I always feel like "We are the Diverse Stripes: I'm Jack Brown and this is my sister wife Mark" is an underrated joke, because we're all so looking forward to hearing the song again.
Few people understand how Meg White can be both a wife and a sister to Jack, she's just very acrobatic.
@@Human472What's the context there?
@@JudyCZ originally a joke between Jack, Meg and the White Stripes fans. Trying to give you enough to go on if you wanted to look it up. Respect to Meg who isn't a particular good drummer to be fair, but deserves credit for the incredible sparse rock sound of the band.
Upon meeting a stranger for the first time, Bob asks "Do we strike you?" 😂😂
I think he took an instant dislike to her like I did. He did, after all, call her "a fucking nightmare".
i feel like every compilation is a most iconic moments but yet i still watch them all
Iconic shows breed iconic moments.
remove the “but” and you sound alot smarter
@@Nronelove i’m super dumb wouldn’t want to mislead anyone
I would pay good money to see Nish and Mark go on tour together.
They could impress a mayor.
The underrated comment of the year award goes to...
They need to have a sitcom together.
Nish is corporate cancer, Mark is actually intellectual. Terrible idea.
@@franksimon8375 found the racist
Mark and Nish can serenade me any time. If anything, I’m jealous that they got to flex their vocal cords in front of Sally!
Who's Mike?
@@WhatTheHell919 last clip man with glasses
@@harrisonodonnell5646 I was being sarcastic about the misspelled name but the dude fixed his comment
@@WhatTheHell919 yeah my bad honestly didn't see there was 2 spelling going on here that's what I get for commenting at like 4 am without sleep 😂😂
To word it in a delicate prose, to be as flowery with my syntax as possible, I would pump buckets into Sally
I was waiting for the most iconic line in TM's history: "bastard's crying, innit?"
I hoped it would be included too. I loved Paul Chowdrhy!
Same.
Alex so gently saying "it's an m&m" at 6:55 is precious
He’s laughing, concerned, and trying to keep a straight face all at once
I think to truly show how iconic Mawaan's disapeering cow was, we should also see Daisy pushing it into the hedge as well.
I can't stop laughing at dude saying "Do we strike you?" So fucking earnestly, with multiple women on the room, two on the same couch as him
Dude? That "dude" is Bob Mortimer and he is a legend.
Oh my god, you don't know who Bob Mortimer is!?! Oh I can't believe your luck, you can watch all of his WILTY? clips for the first time.
@@Tkieron dont think he is very known outside of UK
@@kj3774 I"m in the US and can confirm, he's not known here. I know him from Taskmaster and probably some panel shows (cuz I watch way too many of them).
Bob concerns me but not enough for me to want him to change.
Discovering Nish and marks song was put on iTunes as one of the two songs on a taskmaster soundtrack (the other being the theme)has been a highlight of my week
To me Rosalind is the most iconic task ever. But... But... Even though Mark and Nish clearly made the better song, nobody can convince me that "f*ing nightmare" isn't the more iconic moment!
THANK YOU! i was looking for this comment!
I feel like the contrast between the two songs is a big part of what made it iconic
I personally think Mark and Nish performances is more iconic, but I agree that the whole task is iconic and they should include both.
A key part of it is how spectacularly Mark and Nish had been messing up the other tasks. Expectations were low, and then they came out with this genuinely brilliant response to the task.
Had to give you that 1k 👍🏽
Bob whispering at the beginning "Rosalind.....Roslind's a nightmare" killed me and the lyrics were incredibly funny. This was a task that had no clear winner.
However....
I do agree with the comment that no one expected Mark and Nish to crush it like they did. Their melody was better and they played instruments. They get the bonus point. But thanks, I'm gonna go find that episode. 😊
Bob asking Rosalind "do we strike you?" Is genuinely my favourite taskmaster moment of all time
Doc's nursery rhyme is brilliant, but why does no one ever talk about the horror reimagining of Jon's 'Three Bling Mice'?
Yes!! It's amazing!
i love it!!
Agree!
That was my favourite one!!! Still makes me laugh 😂
Mel's 'oh gang' gets me every. single. time.
At this point ive watched and enjoyed their song about 100s of times
I love that I'm 5 sec into the video and know exactly what you're talking about
Me too. I just randomly sing it sometimes. What a tune!
Most Iconic Taskmaster Moments = Mel Giedroyc just having the time of her life and sharing it with all of us
I'm still sad that 'I'm Always Seeing You (Do Cool Stuff)' by The Diverse Stripes isn't a song I can buy and listen to on repeat.
It’s on iTunes.
Really thought Noel’s camouflage would’ve made it but the ones in the vid all deserve to be there
I think it might be my favourite moment in the entire show. Genius
I'm going to assume there will be more parts to this.
There were alot of iconic moments in series 4
I was expecting Alex sitting on the cake
And half of Rhod's tasks
Mel’s delivery of “eat your exotic sandwich” is obviously classic but I’m always upset when that makes it into these complications and Noel eating Alex doesn’t
if Alex was a woman, that would've been a totally different joke...
@@NoNameAtAll2 I mean... we are talking about Noel here
He ate a literal piece of Alex's beard 😂 how was that not included
I literally CHOCKED laughing at Alex’s expression when Rosalind admitted to thieving - thought I was going to die for a few good minutes. 😂 ☠️
It says a lot about the calibre of the show that at the end I was thinking that they missed a load of other amazing moments but didn't disagree with any of the picks here.
Can I just get some respect for the artist producing the paintings behind the chair.
I really love Mark and Nish as a team, they're just so wholesome
I’ve seen all these tasks before... but I was anticipating Mel eating her sandwich so much I was convulsing with laughter, crying.... and then she got a blue M&M in her nose and it took the convulsions to a level never seen before!
I had quite forgotten about the dining malfunction.
"Dining malfunction" 😂
The way Alex half wheezing-my says: “an M&m”
Love it
And I’m back for a third helping!
"Eat your exotic sandwich"
Mel, internally: "You bastard"
I think even her internal dialogue is too wholesome for that, lol
I would have been soo pleased with myself because I would have made something delicious and I would have been planning to eat it already lol
I get to make an exotic sandwich on someone else's coin? Yes please I'll need some uni and caviar for this
I’m pretty sure Joe Lycett is still the only contestant to ever get 0 seconds on a task
Where is Katherine gifting the lordship. That's iconic af.
ehhh
the only thing that ruins it is when you understand those things are scams. The Josh Widdicombe tatoo was the most iconic gift imo
@@shawn6745 yeah but for comedic purposes still works, Alex still calls Greg "Lord". And the delivery of the gift was also really iconic.
Whaaatss your naamee???
Greg
No its nottt
Yes it is?
I chaaaaaanged it
Greg looked worried for a second lol
still waiting for i'm always seeing you (do cool stuff) to hit spotify
It actually is on spotify right now
@@roninfyre1642 😱 it really is!!!!!? I needed this song in my life.
@@NastyHudson it is, but as a cover version.
Really didn't like the cover version. This one should be there. That would be great.
"Do we strike you" is comedy gold, what was he thinking 😂
"Oh, gang..." is such an incredible quote at that moment.
Has there been a taskmaster controversies compilation? Attempts like Joe’s potato toss and Josh’s tea throw. Pretty much the times there’s a split opinion amongst contestants and Greg.
Taskmaster Disqualifications is p much what you're saying!
James rage following the hoola hoop 🤣
nothing controversial about Joe's potato throw. rules are rules
the comic relief line during the “high five a fifty five year old”
You should switch those joes potato throw and Josh’s tea toss
I love when someone wins by doing something completely outside the box, and all the other contestants cheer them on.
For me, the real iconic moment of the tea bag toss was Frank saying something like "someone will probably spend 30 minutes throwing the teabags and then realise they'd be better wet". Followed by a perfect cut to Romesh saying exactly that.
I never stop wondering how Bob Mortimers brain is put together.
Edit: starting to wonder about the people commenting in this thread as well :)
backwards, that's how he always catches you off guard
Magnificently
Have you ever eaten a wind dried puffin
It's like a Jackson Pollock painting 😂
Very loosely
I mean they were good, but no potatogate? Watermelon smash? Bob Mortimer? Jonny falling over? The catapult? C'mon!
Johnny's beer mat house; Ed Gamble losing his shit at David Baddiel during that live task; Alex putting his bare arse into a cake; Katherine Ryan trying to destroy her sister's marriage; Joe "put some fucking effort in" Thomas's rant; Bob Mortimer's edible mask...the list goes on xD
Jess falling off the stage, Mike’s flatulence, Rhod Gilbert doing anything, the list goes on.
@@lordxavnoodlebrain2286 Jess falling off the stage was so iconic, they named the runway "the Knappett" in her honour. I actually cant think of any other contestants having anything named after them, so that's a whole different tier of iconic xD
The catapult was just featured in their last compilation video 😂
Also nice Radiohead username
@@georgercop "I'm a sinner! I have sinned again!"
Noels camouflage and Rhods tying up
of Alex were very iconic to me
Clicked on this saying to myself that romesh's watermelon smash gotta be in here for sure
Haven’t watched the video yet, but if the melon smash ain’t here, I’m calling bullshit.
@@mrtipper352 they should make a 3 parts of iconic moments too many things to missed.
It cried tears the first time I saw that. Still one of the funniest moments ever.
Honestly the nish and mark song is just amazing as for weeks they were the weaker contestants... and then to pull that off was just a 'proud parent' type of emotion hahaha
Every time Mel says “heck” an angel gets its wings
"Do we strike you?"
"Do we strike you?" Is possibly the greatest sentence ever uttered
Mark's face after he nails the fill is too funny. He's so happy :D
17:13 BRUTAL. "yeah, my mum was on national teli, and said my brother and I were inept."
Nish, if your fantasy of feeding her beans on toast is impossible because she lives miles away, how are you always seeing her do cool stuff?!
I am very suspicious of this story.
Instagram
You are asking uncomfortable questions.
Stalking...?
He must have forgotten while looking at that tree.
Binoculars
I just want a bite of Mel’s chocolate monstrosity. There’s nothing more in life that I want. Honestly. Dear God. I just feel it would complete me. Possibly kill me with the sudden blood sugar spike but what a way to go.
best comment
I mean you could just go to the candy and bread section of the supermarket and make it yourself... Whats stopping you.
@@BiggestNightmareJim it’s not from Mel though. Her saying “ohhh gang…” while I buried my face in it is part of it.
@@glitterbitesback So does "Mel's chocolate monstrosity" have a different meaning here? Hey I'm not judging ;)
I'm guessing something must be off hormonally, because I want that sandwich. It's more than a week's insulin, but still.
16:41 “Do we strike you?” That is why Bob Mortimer is one of Taskmaster’s all-time best contestants.
Loved this! Would have added Josh’s tattoo and Mike Wozniak’s haemorrhoid
I think that's one for a different collection. Like contestants who went too far/gave it all. 😅
[fwip]
I love the idea of Nish and Mark just getting together once in a while to write and play music.
Bob Mortimer : "do......do we strike you?" What the hell man haha
Mark and Nish's song is THE most iconic moment in all of Taskmaster, i've watched all seasons up to 2022 and it's still my favorite moment of the show.
I could happily listen to mark and nish's song on repeat, has no business being that good
Alex 'being born' was as iconic as it comes, Certainly seared into my consciousness for all time :(.
Compilation idea: interesting moments where the episode name is mentioned (god ones I can think of the top of my head - “absolute casserole”, “melon buffet” and “my eyes are circles”)
I'm fairly certain that the episode name is taken from an interesting moment in the show.
@@themarquisdepressed2013 yes but not all of them are ‘interesting’ I think the original commenter wanted the very best moments which relate to the title
@@themarquisdepressed2013 an example of an uninteresting one I can think of is “poet and the egg”, which is more of a passing comment than a quote in an interesting context
Residue round the hoof
The leprechaun or the lesbian
I swear I was sure Daisy was going to birth her child on set
Daisy was seven months pregnant when filming the studio bits. She was laughing so hard that both Greg and Alex were worried that she'd go into labour on set and they'd have to deliver the baby.
Mel's camel task was one of the best loopholes in the show's history.
I just realized you can see the shadow of the tiny cow on Mowan’s chest
I just realized the tiny cow looks nothing like the cow in the yard. That makes the deception even more brilliant, not less.
*"Has he got a name? 😀"*
"ˢᵗᵉʷᵃʳᵗ"
Tim blanking Alex and him saying 'thank you?' always gets me
The best moments on this show are when someone hatches a laterally thought put plan, and everyone respects it too much to argue.
Tim Key was such a great contestant, the fact he helps come up with tasks now is amazing
We need ‘Moments that make your heart melt/most heartwarming moments’!! Like when everyone helped Paul Sinha in the studio task!!
Nish and Mark’s song was actually straight fire 🔥 brilliant indeed.
The amount of excitement when I saw the Rosalind song task made it. Yes. Thank you.
Of course they put 'I'm always seeing you (do cool stuff)' as the last iconic moment. (That task will forever be remembered fondly as Wumar's greatest moment.)
Nish and Mark's song was amazing...so amazing they came up with that in 30min. Just great job
I’ve started to think Noel read “Exotic” as “Erotic”
nah exotic can mean erotic
@@KNylen case in point: exotic dancer
This just makes me want to re-watch all these series again. Mark & Nish really nailed it with that song though, absolutely incredible.
I was 10 seconds from finishing the video and still genuinely expected Joe's potato toss to somehow be in this video, i literally have integrated the phrase "throw like Joe" into my daily vernacular
Finally, the uncensored version of Doc’s song!! Thank you Taskmaster gods!
That “only blue ones” reference to the M&Ms was very, *very* underrated
What is that a reference to? I dont think I'm getting it other than the m&m up mels nose being blue
@@bethanymonday3726 one of the live tasks in the very first series was to separate all the blue M&Ms from a bowl full of multicoloured M&Ms, while wearing a pair of boxing gloves.
@@dellzincht ahhh thank you that makes sense now
I would argue that Noel's sandwich and Jon's lullaby were both more iconic but everything else was spot on
100%
"with a time of zero seconds-" I love that so much
I'd argue that josh counting the beans is the most iconic moment
That cow disappearing act was frighteningly genius. Nice work
So they wrote and compose that song in one hour? Unbelievable.
The camel into the baby gap was hilarious!
That "what is the longest part of a house" part always gets me, I love her.
I love how the way Rosalind answered the questioned about the other two in her quartet being a couple was “they used to be but then he got septicemia and lost the use of three fingers . . .” as though the couple broke up because of that. I understood what she meant, but the other interpretation, well, struck me.
I can't believe everyone's slagging off Rosalind, I love her, and it sounds like she's living her best life 😂
Nish and Mark song will forever be the best moment overall. The story of them two screwing everything up, everybody thought they will be last pretty much every task and then absolutely nailing that song to perfection.
I honestly think Mawaan’s attempt to fill an egg with helium is more iconic than the cow trick
I think the cow got picked because it's so so entirely successful.... Unlike the egg 😂
Not to mention bin juice.
how did they include the teabag one and not include 'there was no box' or 'just realized i should wet em'
(great compilation i just like that lil moment)
Ed Gamble and the chickpea task was pretty iconic as well :P
Doc's nursery rhyme and Nish's and Mark's song were both amazing.
