Same although I still don't really have a stand out fave. It will probably take a few more episodes. Jamali is pretty unlikable(to me) so the only thing I know is it's not gonna be him🤣
@@raunokullas4528 they usually upload about 10PM every Thursday. I don't know why channel 4 don't just upload it themselves and get some revenue from it..
@@raunokullas4528 Unfortunately i do not. It was stroke of luck that i was on taskmaster channel when episode appeared. But i know that they try to upload almost right after it ends on tv. Love to you too!
I love how Lee's "Now listen here you" as the start of his poem is basically how many medieval "poems" started to get the listeners to listen. Beowulf starts with "Hwaet" meaning "listen", for example.
well, yeah, obviously Jamali needed a lot of time to make that happen. Alex ruins his ability to be elaborate ;) You saw what happened with the rat trap - he ran out of time because of his crazy setup. He needs every second he can get xD
I always thought the knuckle system for remembering the day's of the month was amazing and seeing all the UK-based people using a rhyme makes me wonder if Sarah could have just submitted the knuckle system.
Where else do they use knuckles to remember? Only Australia among all English-language counries? I'm Russian, here we have only knuckles to rely on, no rhymes.
Everyone is talking about Mike, but I am enjoying Lee's performance so much! He is so witty with words, but the tasks challenge him on a completely different level. Sometimes he seems so far out of his comfort zone. Love it!
I think we all expected him to be this way. Mike is a discovery. I love Lee and when I heard he was on this season, I knew I was going to love it way more than S10. He did not disappoint.
@@madalinam6183 Yea, I agree: Lee was already Guaranteed to be great and, because less of us knew who he was, Mike has been a wonderful surprise. I cheered when we first saw that they were on the same team!
I think Lee was sort off wasted on a season with no audience. He’s incredible when there’s an audience to laugh at his jokes, it feeds him with more energy. But the studio is too quiet this season, unlike season 10. However! I never watch the studio tasks, because to me, Greg’s roasts are the best part, and this season I’m watching the whole episode, because of Lee. He’s an amazing improviser, there’s no doubt…
I also thought it was insy weensy spider. When Jamal was swirling his hand around I was sure it was 'up the water spout' I feel like they had to have cut the footage and they did that first.
Apart from the itsy bitsy spider jig, their twinkle and star were clear enough though. Grandpa Greg just seems to have blanked out under pressure or is just dogshit at charades.
41:25 is one of the best moments of the season so far. Lee and Mike are so in sync with their putting, and that PERFECTLY uniform snap and point was so satisfying that I had to watch it twice. Already a big fan of Lee, but Mike is quickly becoming a hilarious addition to the TM lineup! Honestly this season has such a good cast I can't pick a fave but these two, together, are always a treat
@@catric If only we had a cylindrical material readily available which we could easily fashion into a third hand for that clock. Wait a minute... Do you know what time it is? 😮
Charlotte honestly thinking she could outrun the water and the sneaky pasta snake trying to make an egg float are 2 of the best things ive seen in my life :D The geniune dissapointment on their faces when the most stupid idea ever fails is just priceless :D
Just wanna say thanks to anyone and everyone involved in making the show - a massive, great relief valve of humour to us mere mortals.... Assuming some of you read these comments - thank you.
@@sharkofjoy Can you imagine waking up, going to work and some random celebrity is basically gonna go NUTS in front of you?!?!? Best job ever - and lots of them are pretty! Ahhh.... Yeah, I'd like that job. Yeah, even the sound man is like "Hell yes!" when he wakes up.
Charlotte's system actually works very well if, you colour the numbers on the clock instead of the hands. Then Greg just looks at the clock and if he sees a pink number, then it's x days; if he sees a blue number then it's y days and if he sees a yellow number, then it's February.
As Ed said on the podcast, Alex seems to be running out of ideas for the prize task and is now probably just walking around his house, looking at random objects and wondering how to fit it into a prize task category 😄😆 Also, I really wish Doc Brown had gotten the opportunity to do that calendar task. He would've come up with a sick rap
Maybe. But isn't it the easiest category to devise ideas for? Really, almost any almost-practical-enough random class of object would do. E.g., things that arrive by hovercraft; things that smell like an anteater; things that rhyme with pho; things that can be worn under a toupee, things that burp louder than an armpit; etc.; etc.
Anyone else genuinely peeved that Greg gave Lee a SINGLE POINT for his amazing months poem?? And Jamali got FOUR for his - no offense - rubbish low effort attempt??
yeah how did he get 4 for such a rubbish attempt. Mike and Lee at least had a creative method and it's only a matter of memorization, giving them 2 and 1 point is so unfair
I thought 1 point was low for the cool poem as well, but no need to dunk on Jamali's attempt for it! I thought his way was clever and low effort in the best of ways.
The whole episode seemed a bit awkward to me, how the points were given, how relatively serious they were in the studio, how rude Jamali was, the security task desaster, the live task...
Sarah's 'Aw God mate' towards Greg for him not understanding the standard 'Sounds like' action in charades was just pure exasperation and gets me chuckling every. single. time. She just wants to throttle him.
That's what I thought. It is not my task to check my bag, it is the security. Maybe give them a time penalty or let them find the bottle and have them go through security again (effectivly a time penalty)
Honestly, everyone should have gotten points on the airport task. (Charlotte being a maybe, because Alex told her she could choose if that counted or not) They all got through security in some way.
@@DraakjeYoblama Jamali shouldn't, since he left the maze before all the bags went through the scanner... to push the last bags through the scanner heh
When the episode first aired I was genuinely upset that Mike’s prize task was shattered in transit. Upon listening to the podcast with Mike as a guest it shook me to my core to learn that his prize was a lie, the entire story had been made up. Coming back to the episode and pausing to read the courier’s invoice though now absolutely shows it was and it truly was one of the most shocking prizes to me. 3:25
oh I was so hoping that's what happened! that description of the sculpture was so over the top and it was just a bunch of big pieces of broken glass - Mike was definitely not the right one to sell it though, how could he ever be dishonest??
I'm never going to be able to express how much I love you guys for uploading it as soon as it's over on tv! Thank you!!! I ABSOLUTELY LOVE YOU ALL THAT MAKE THIS SHOW!
Greg said, "If the passport was part of the rules, he can't have the points" This was the task: "Get all of your luggage through security. You must stay inside the maze until your luggage has been through the x-ray machine. You may go under one rope and release one rope. You may also disconnect 1 pole completely, but you must then pick up that pole and carry it for the rest of the task. If any of your luggage touches any of the barriers the maze will restart and you must start again. Fastest time wins, your time starts now" No mention at all of the passport, Jamali deserved the points. I think just ignoring Alex qualifies as lateral thinking. I know the rules are loosey goosey but c'mon, wording is important. (I also don't understand the part where Mike was disqualified for not finding the water, another thing not listed in the task. If I get manage to get water through security, it's because that security did a bad job, it doesn't undo the fact that I got water through security)
The task says get all your luggage through security. The theme of the task is in an airport security where you can't get through without your passport and boarding pass and also no liquids inside. Jamali deserved the zero points in that task
_In this show, I, Greg Davies make some accomplished, but needy comedians do stupid things for me. Why? Because I can! I'm a powerful man. Look at me! Thank you. They have no idea how each other did, but they will soon find out. I shall be judging both what they did and how they did it._ *My word is final - the contestants will definitely respect me.* In the undying words of Cartman: "Respect my authoritah!". Both Greg and Cartman don't exist to be fair - not in the slightest. And indeed, airport security is about (you packing) your (own) luggage and identifying you as a person. Good luck without a passport... I've stepped on a plane with liquids however. A small bottle of Vodka, called 'the Bomb', even xD. But not documents? No trip...
But the passport instructions and the "No liquids" rule were both clearly posted on the signs in the maze, and we all know that any sort of message Alex incorporates into tasks outside of the letter at the beginning is just as important. And very sneaky.
Passport and boarding pass are obvious for clearing security at an airport. You can't just chuck your luggage through a scanner and say you've cleared security. The water disqualification was a tad harsh though. Alex should have informed them that they've failed security clearance and made them put the luggage through again until they found and took the water out, ie. a time penalty.
This is so lovely to hear the sounds of balalaika and accordion playing during the tasks. And all the details from USSR times such as the clocks with cat and mouse from our famouse cartoon are so nostalgic. This is really heartwarming and makes me love Taskmaster even more (and I thought it's impossible to love more than I alredy do)! Thank you for this.
9:49 Am I the only one who sees Lee’s throw as incredibly impressive? Like, physically, it’s a wonderful of athleticism. The form, the trajectory. But the artistry too. What a lovely visual.
I genuinely love the combination of Mike and Lee, they’re funny together but even in the first task when they were just edited in comparison it was hilarious
I was thinking electricity too, but didn't think of anything specific. Isn't a car battery slightly smaller than a cat, though? You COULD just grab an adequately sized appliance and flay the cords.
Solar-powered calculators are often kept in drawers and it makes no difference, they only require power when using them and you don't use them in the drawer.
she should argue in the studio more, they all should i think. especially for the price tasks, some of them wouldn't be so shit if they had a good argument for them
@@K.TH-cam2 I couldn't remember it four MINUTES later. Mike's mnemonic, on the other hand, is still stuck in my head. Reckon he got robbed on that one.
@@johnkidby7948 it's funny O cant remember this task too well but I remember Mike doing something weird with words(thanks for the mnenomic jog lol) idr what Lee did at all.
I think I say this every season, but I truly love this cast. Charlotte is this wild blend of deadpan, sweet, and above this all. Sarah, self deprecating but determined, Mike and his moustache against the world, Lee and Jamali raging against anything Greg and Alex do.
"A glassware sculpture depicting a scene from the animal kingdom: Alpaca (shaved) _in flagrante delicto_ with gecko (frenzied) as robin redbreast looks on impassively. Shock level: high."
21:33 "I don't understand how leap years work" As a software developer, I feel this. I feel this deeply. Seems like no-one fully understands and we just always trust that others do understand how they work, so we can look it up whenever we need it. (the "every 4 years" bit is easy. But then there's something about "if it's divideable by 100, then it's not" in it?) Also, I always do that knuckle-thingy Sarah does. :D
A solar year is almost exactly 365.25 days long, that is to say that it takes 365 full days and six hours for the Earth to completely orbit the Sun. Now we can't have 365 full days and then one mini six-hour day every year or else the second year would have days where midday was 6am, the next with midday at midnight, and the next with midday at 6pm, the whole day/night cycle would be thrown out of whack for three years out of every four. Instead every year we just end the year six hours early by pretending the final six hours didn't exist and then after four years we take those accumulated missing hours (4x6) and create an extra day with them.
For a sci-fi story, I made my own calendar system which began in 2030. So I had to write a program to convert between IRL dates, and fictional dates. I gave up on counting leap years, cause they were an absolute fucking nightmare to get working, as attempting to include them would always throw off the program by MONTHS.
Rewatching this, Jamali should have been allowed points for the luggage. By their own definition it has to be within the rules, and they always say that everything you need to know is on the task. The task never mentions that you need the passport, Alex just says you need it for him to process your luggage. The task also doesn't say you need your luggage properly processed, just to get it through security. By their own rules, Jamali should have gotten points for that round.
I grew up using the knuckles of one hand for months with 31. Once you reach August you go back on the knuckles, using the same knuckle for July as you did for August. February is the exception
Loving this series! And what a great community of fans in the comments. Thank you Alex, Tim Key, everybody...and that Greg guy from The Inbetweeners. Cushhonnnnn!
"I'm excited for you to be positive about this."
"Rubbish."
"Okay."

YASSS! She is my fav this series
God love her, she’s just adorable.

She is great. :D The whole series is a banger and i love every one in it.
Not to worry, she has a burgeoning future as a children’s television presenter.
I've never warmed up to a contestant as fast as I did to Mike. I find him very endearing.
Wozniak's weird. I'm all here for it.
I'd never heard of him before and I am now sternly convinced that he's a fucking legend
This is awkward but I found him very earing.
The part about him drinking 38 pints of milk per month only made me like him more. There aren't that many of us out there.
Same although I still don't really have a stand out fave. It will probably take a few more episodes. Jamali is pretty unlikable(to me) so the only thing I know is it's not gonna be him🤣
"Someone gave me a sugary tea and I calmed down" Mike is me but successful
Who says you aren’t successful?
Yeah, don't sell yourself short, you got top comment!
for generations, parents will tell their kids about the man, the myth the legend: marsvilla7128. They typed a comment that one time.
Some unexpectedly sweet little comments here ❤
I wanted to see him luzz the luggage.
I love how in the nursery rhyme task Mike and Lee were so in sync they even snapped their fingers at the same time when Greg got "put"
They both have heavy dad energy and I love it
After HE guessed Humpty Dumpty they both pointed their fingers at the same time as well.
I swear to god, they should be teamed up together on everything for the rest of their life.
Possibly my favourite Taskmaster team since Hugh & Mel in season 4

The task says get all your luggage through security. The theme of the task is in an airport security where you can't get through without your passport and boarding pass and also no liquids inside. Jamali deserved the zero points in that task
_In this show, I, Greg Davies make some accomplished, but needy comedians do stupid things for me. Why? Because I can! I'm a powerful man. Look at me! Thank you. They have no idea how each other did, but they will soon find out. I shall be judging both what they did and how they did it._ *My word is final - the contestants will definitely respect me.*
In the undying words of Cartman: "Respect my authoritah!". Both Greg and Cartman don't exist to be fair - not in the slightest.
And indeed, airport security is about (you packing) your (own) luggage and identifying you as a person. Good luck without a passport... I've stepped on a plane with liquids however. A small bottle of Vodka, called 'the Bomb', even xD. But not documents? No trip...
@@corbeau-_- I managed to get on a transatlantic flight at Newark Airport without a valid boarding pass a few years ago. Long story, that.
But the passport instructions and the "No liquids" rule were both clearly posted on the signs in the maze, and we all know that any sort of message Alex incorporates into tasks outside of the letter at the beginning is just as important. And very sneaky.
Passport and boarding pass are obvious for clearing security at an airport. You can't just chuck your luggage through a scanner and say you've cleared security. The water disqualification was a tad harsh though. Alex should have informed them that they've failed security clearance and made them put the luggage through again until they found and took the water out, ie. a time penalty.
Mike and Lee make such an incredible team! It's always fun watching them do team tasks together
OMG I can't wait.
I need to know who is personally responsible for these uploads. I'm gonna send them a bouncy castle to their garden.
Paul Chowdhry is responsible
Bouncy bouncy ooh such a good time
Akex Horne personally uploads them xD
I will personally claim responsibility for this. I would love to have a bouncy castle in my garden. 😁
I swear to god, this channel is saving my life
This is so lovely to hear the sounds of balalaika and accordion playing during the tasks. And all the details from USSR times such as the clocks with cat and mouse from our famouse cartoon are so nostalgic. This is really heartwarming and makes me love Taskmaster even more (and I thought it's impossible to love more than I alredy do)! Thank you for this.
Greg asking about Jamjod Snazj is probably on of the funniest things I've ever seen. I can't stop replaying it 😂
love that Sarah points up and thanks JAMMJOD for the win too! I wondered if there was something to those Scrabble tiles in the opening title...
9:49 Am I the only one who sees Lee’s throw as incredibly impressive? Like, physically, it’s a wonderful of athleticism. The form, the trajectory. But the artistry too. What a lovely visual.
It was amazing! I just wish he'd done it sooner, he deserved the win for that!
I’m having the worst day I’ve had in quite a long time. This was uploaded and lifted my spirits when I needed it most. Thank you, Taskmaster.
Sending you a virtual Taskmaster Chocolate to go with.
@Red Dwarf After script ideas, are you?
i hope things get better soon, hang tight!
I genuinely love the combination of Mike and Lee, they’re funny together but even in the first task when they were just edited in comparison it was hilarious
Oh, Mike and his mustache and personality, Sarah and her hair, Charlotte and her smile... So beautiful!
Charlotte is so gosh darn cute I feel bad every time she doesn't get at least four points!
She got five every task in my heart
Mike was robbed. That mnemonic is phenomenal and I plan to commit it to memory
For the prize task, I immediately thought of a car battery, bigger than a cat, and potentially rather shocking.
I was thinking electricity too, but didn't think of anything specific. Isn't a car battery slightly smaller than a cat, though?
You COULD just grab an adequately sized appliance and flay the cords.
Can't belive that I only just noticed Tim Key is in the credits as, "task consultant" and I'm both surprised and totally unsurprised at the same time
Apparently Alex and Tim meet up in the pub to talk over some of the tasks. That's what Tim's role is.
Just watched it on tv. Gonna watch it here again and then listen to the podcast and then probably watch it again tomorrow.
There is a Podcast? Could you tell me where please?
Willing to bet the calculator didn't work because it's one of those solar-powered ones and Horne stuck it in a drawer.
Solar-powered calculators are often kept in drawers and it makes no difference, they only require power when using them and you don't use them in the drawer.
Throwing ice cubes was such a great and simple idea, and she came so close every time!
I think Charlotte was robbed by Alex, he shouldn't have said "It's up to you". Rules are rules and he should have just sent her back.
Rules are rules 😂
It’s not that serious mate
@@userjim83 Well in the end they judged by those rules and took all her points
@@Dima-jc7fx they took her points?
THE HORROR 😫
she should argue in the studio more, they all should i think. especially for the price tasks, some of them wouldn't be so shit if they had a good argument for them
Yeah.. the usual response is "do *you* think its against the rules?"
something about the way she said "that's an appalling piece of footage" was just brilliant to me lol
Lee's poem was the best and the most fun for days of the months.
Bet you can't remember it 4 months later 😂
@@K.TH-cam2 I couldn't remember it four MINUTES later. Mike's mnemonic, on the other hand, is still stuck in my head. Reckon he got robbed on that one.
@@johnkidby7948 it's funny O cant remember this task too well but I remember Mike doing something weird with words(thanks for the mnenomic jog lol) idr what Lee did at all.
13:35 How did Charlotte do that sound so perfectly? :D
Cutest funk I've ever hard.
Mike is awesome and the sweetest human but let's not forget about how great lee is . They together are a treat to watch .🤍
Mr Wozniak is quickly turning into my favourite contestant on the show ever
Charlotte asking "why" in such an inquisitive manner isjust one of the reasons I find her adorable🥰
Lee and Mike in the last task, that was more efficient than a German's agenda for his insurance-schedules.
Alex reading reviews of masks from Amazon - immediate No More Jockeys flashback
Best thing about this series is that no one is competitive. Everyone gets along nicely.
Ha! Nobody is competitive? Not so sure about that. I think they're just all polite grownups about it.
Which series had Daisy and Richard? That was a rough one to sit through. Otherwise, yes, everyone seems to get together quite well.
@@LessDevoid I think OP meant series as in 'season'.
Thursday...without any distinctive differences in days the past year... Thursday has become better than the weekend.
Thanks for that!! ❤️
I think I say this every season, but I truly love this cast. Charlotte is this wild blend of deadpan, sweet, and above this all.
Sarah, self deprecating but determined,
Mike and his moustache against the world,
Lee and Jamali raging against anything Greg and Alex do.
How Lee didn't win the Days In A Month Task is inexplicable.
Because it's the opposite of a mnemonic. It's harder to remember his poem than it is to just memorize the days in the months.
Yes but surely it's better than listening to a voice memo that takes forever to get to. At least Lee put effort into his.
"Except February alone, which has 28 days clear and 29 in each leap year."
I don't know how I'm always on time when this channel uploads. For school? Never. But for taskmaster I'm here
"A glassware sculpture depicting a scene from the animal kingdom: Alpaca (shaved) _in flagrante delicto_ with gecko (frenzied) as robin redbreast looks on impassively. Shock level: high."
21:33 "I don't understand how leap years work"
As a software developer, I feel this. I feel this deeply. Seems like no-one fully understands and we just always trust that others do understand how they work, so we can look it up whenever we need it.
(the "every 4 years" bit is easy. But then there's something about "if it's divideable by 100, then it's not" in it?)
Also, I always do that knuckle-thingy Sarah does. :D
Every four years except centuries BUT including millennia (so 2100 won't be a leap year but 3000 will)
A solar year is almost exactly 365.25 days long, that is to say that it takes 365 full days and six hours for the Earth to completely orbit the Sun. Now we can't have 365 full days and then one mini six-hour day every year or else the second year would have days where midday was 6am, the next with midday at midnight, and the next with midday at 6pm, the whole day/night cycle would be thrown out of whack for three years out of every four.
Instead every year we just end the year six hours early by pretending the final six hours didn't exist and then after four years we take those accumulated missing hours (4x6) and create an extra day with them.
@@krashd Yes, that's the easy part of it. But: If the year is divadable by 100, but not by 400, then it's not a leap year. ;)
For a sci-fi story, I made my own calendar system which began in 2030.
So I had to write a program to convert between IRL dates, and fictional dates.
I gave up on counting leap years, cause they were an absolute fucking nightmare to get working, as attempting to include them would always throw off the program by MONTHS.
@@wohlhabendermanager this was a cool thing to learn, thanks for sharing! /g
The fastest 45 minutes of the week, gone in a flash :-) Love it!
the most fun though! time flies when you are finally having fun in such a hard year!
Whoever is managing this channel is doing God's work
Charlotte's clock for the months was the best system, seems unfair that she lost because of her arts and crafts skills.
Always a joy to watch this series!!
Sarah's gonna win this series, I'm calling it
No s*** Sherlock :)
Thank you so much for promptly uploading all episodes - you guys are the best.
God, I love how swiftly they upload these! Well done, tech team! (and/or marketing team, depending on your structure)
Rewatching this, Jamali should have been allowed points for the luggage.
By their own definition it has to be within the rules, and they always say that everything you need to know is on the task.
The task never mentions that you need the passport, Alex just says you need it for him to process your luggage.
The task also doesn't say you need your luggage properly processed, just to get it through security.
By their own rules, Jamali should have gotten points for that round.
Love the music cues this season! I don't know how you manage to keep it sounding fresh.
Thank you for uploading these. You have no wonder how this helps me, being distracted from these times. Having a laugh in these times.... Thank you.
same! how long have you been a fan?
I love how many people does not care about the time and just jumped at the video even if it's midnight
10pm gmt
2pm Western Canada : )
4AM GMT+7
In Germany it's 11pm :D
3 am India ❤️😊
I LOVE MIKE! He has to be up there with one of my favourite contestants right along side Noel and James!
"First word... EAR."
"Oh gah.. MATE."
The utter frustration in her voice
"It wasn't simple was it Alex? But carry on"
The Scrabble letters in the title card spell Jamjod Snaj.
I grew up using the knuckles of one hand for months with 31. Once you reach August you go back on the knuckles, using the same knuckle for July as you did for August. February is the exception
The task was to “Develop a new system”
The knuckles system is fairly popular
So using the knuckles would’ve led to a disqualification.
“Polly Put the Kettle On you prick” makes me bust out laughing every time
I genuinely thought Mike's shocking thing got wrecked until I paused and read the label hahaha shock level: high
Loving this series! And what a great community of fans in the comments. Thank you Alex, Tim Key, everybody...and that Greg guy from The Inbetweeners. Cushhonnnnn!
