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.
Left ear is loving this
Right ear is getting a liiiil stimulation at times
I just spent the last 10 minutes trying to figure out why my headphones broke because I just assumed the video couldn't be what was broken... Doh!
@@Aviertje What if little Alex Horne tried to make us think we all have broken headsets and then the outro plays from right one? :P
Not me thinking I’d broken my ear buds 😂🤦🏼♀️
Thank the gods it was just them being incompetent, I thought my speakers had broken.
Sound designer did half of the task with audio.
fun fact - outro mixed to the right channel
@@jakesteampson7043 Yes, that's what "half" meant.
Break your audio channels up in to as many pieces as possible, your time starts now
It would have been great if this task was a two-parter revealed after the fact, like the sandwich task. First task would be "Break something into the most pieces." And once they were done: "Now fix it."
The New Zealand version had the same task and did it as a two parter, but they couldn't choose what they had to break, they had to break a vase
Alex had to do something like this! It was a radio show.? and they asked him to break something. He broke a mug and then they gave him the second half. Hopefully someone can find the clip to share.
Dang I had not started and I assumed that was what it was:(
David repeatedly missing with the sledgehammer feels like a metaphor for his time on the show.
And life as well. :)
I wish I had his confidence. Even though he achieved basically nothing.
I just want to check... Have I been put on a team with David Baddiel?
Do you and planet have the same profile pic artist or something? Both blond girls are in the exact same position and have a pride flag
Possibly the worst contestant qua contestant they've ever had.
reading the title i fully expected the first task to be breaking and then SURPRISE! second task was having to put it back together
That's how the New Zealand version handled it
"I've been injecting grapes with nothing?!" is one of my all time favorite TM quotes
Alex Horne did break the audio into two pieces but couldnt fix it
since they were clearly allowed to use other tools and such, I feel like the smartest thing to do would have been to do the chocolate, but then while you're smashing it into as many pieces as possible you put a pan on the stove and start heating it up, then to fix it you just throw all the pieces into the pan and melt them back together. You might even be able to spend some of that time while it's melting making a makeshift mold to pour it back into
Or melt the edges of the squares then like “glue” them together with the melted edges
Get some dough, rip it into a thousand pieces then smush it back together, Ezpz
The issue is they had 7 minutes. Not enough time.
to bring down the time, could use a microwave and/or prewarm the chocolate a little bit in the initial 5 minutes
Heat a pan and then put 1 egde of a piece of chocolate against the hot surface till it melts a bit, then stick that piece to another one.
Repeat with each other piece till they are all stuck together.
Rose was robbed on this one, absolutely completed the task as assigned. Still came away with four points, but it wasn't boring, it was clever and as assigned.
The right answer for this task would have been to get a blob of dough and rip it into as many pieces as possible and then just roll it back together.
Right ear is a little disappointed
at least it got the end music?
right ear gets the outro to itself
And here i was, checking my computer... Thank you for that comment! 😀
Why didn't the chocolate breakers just melt it back together? That's what I thought they were going to do, and then they got out tape and glue!
The hopeless thud when the sledgehammer misses the award entirely is one of the funniest moments in Taskmaster history.
If Ed's power to inject grapes with nothing ever combined with Mawaan's vision of injecting eggs with helium, the universe would be transformed.
I enjoy Jo's because it's a really well done first part, and her usual "couldn't be arsed" second part fixing it. And then her hilarious commentary on her attempt in the studio!
Especially because she could have melted the chocolate 😂 and yet it didn't matter because she still won!
Definitely the laziest of the attempts, while not being a great “repair” either. Although she does get consistent favoritism it seems
“Joe did you use all of the commandments?”
Nooooo 🤣🤣🤣
David getting two points is an absolute steel. He finessed greg😂
I know right. He didn't even complete the breaking part.
One and a half of those is pity
My first thought: Get a glass of water, a dropper or turkey baster, and a baking pan.
My object is "the water in this glass".
Use the breaking time to put as many individual droplets as possible onto the pan.
Then, just pour it all back into the glass
Yep that was my though as well, "What is a thing that can fix itself or has an extremely loose definition of bein complete". And water is probably the best thing.
Maybe a magnet and metal shavings would've also been possible, and the magnet "fixes" it by attracting it to one place but it's a mot worse imo compared to the water
Having nearly all of the audio of this video exclusively out the left speaker made me think my laptop was broken, and i actually had to check with a different sound source to make sure it wasn't. 10/10
I swear this cast filmed 5 seasons worth of tasks.
This was the first series to feature strictly 5 tasks an episode (aside from two-part tasks), so it has less than the three before it.
I think it’s definitely the series with the most amount of memorable tasks
I love this cast so I ain't complaining haha
Left ear really enjoyed the task, the right ear really enjoyed the ending theme 😂
i thought for sure she was going to melt the chocolate back together, then she just pulled out tape
David did half of this task. He destroyed his reputation this series and yet he forgot to repair it
Frustrated Ed is my favorite Ed.
For people who want sound on both ears enable 'mono' in your audio settings in windows 10 it is found in settings -> easy of use -> audio -> turn on mono.
In other devices/systems I will likely also be called mono channel or single channel in audio settings.
Disable it after this video or you won't have the left/right difference anymore!!
Your Task: Listen to this clip with one ear, and then the other ear. Your time starts now.
I should have read the comments before rewiring my audio setup
Would have said some mean things to Alex and break his heart in a thousand pieces and then given him chocolate and a hug
I think that’s more “abusive relationship” rather than breaking and fixing lol
@@fedarik9484 Yeah, but wouldn't greg get a kick out of it? 😹😹
0:59 quote of the year 😂
Ed, at least you didn't inject eggs with helium 😅
It took me a couple swings of the hammer before I realized they weren't showing him in slow motion.
I would say that destroying someone else’s award is pretty mean-spirited, but Alex agreed to it so that means…something!
Just me that thought about crumbling the wax seal, re-melting it and turning it back into a seal then? 🙈😆😂
My first thought was an ice cube. Grind it down into a powder, then melt it and stick it back in the freezer.
I was looking for this comment
Me too but it wouldn't freeze in 7 minutes so I thought of play doh 😂
Fill a glass with water. Put it on the windowsill. Light is broken up into a rainbow. Pour out the glass, light is put back together again. Nailed it.
The person who has headphones where only the right side works is losing their mind
You guys messed up with this upload, there's nothing coming out of the right audio channel.
@@c.james1 Indeed. They left it right to the very end.
The audio on this makes me feel better about my mess ups on my church broadcast.
My first thought was to go find a jigsaw puzzle. With only seven minutes, probably not a very hard one - or alternatively simply break off the pieces in such a way that they're easy to find and put back together, like only taking off the edges.
I really loved plugging and unplugging my ports for a solid minute and messing with PC settings until I realized "oh, it's not me".
Just rip apart a bag of flour. Counting the pieces would be an actual fairytale princess task.
A bowl of water.
Boil the water, catch the steam, and condense it back to water.
Or, a pile of rice.
Spread out the rice, then bring it back into a pile.
(Or push the rice off a ledge, so they separate mid air, then reform onto a pile)
You could ask for items..
Get dry ice... Break ice cubes then refreeze with the dry ice
I was thinking playdough, but separating water into practically uncountable molecules of steam is next level!
I was thinking basically the same thing, but with melting and re-freezing ice. Probably easier than catching and condensing steam.
I’m thinking ice. Then re-freeze it.
in seven minutes?
you broke my left year throughout the episode and fixed it by playing the ending music in my right one
Ahh, the good old days where Greg wasn’t busy as hell and could turn to the house to do intro bits for the show
I thought she would melt and then freeze the chocolate back into a bar… 3:13
thank you alex, for reassuring me that the right speaker on my headphones was not broken.
Wow. Crazy. I thought my headset had crapped out in the right ear, and just testing a different audio source.
Best. Upload. Ever. :|
That switch up with the intro caught me off guard not gonna lie.
Sounds like I'm listening to this as a plane is ascending 😅
Brilliant. Love these little treats the Taskmaster gives us, his adoring subjects.
After thinking a bit, I'd run outside, build myself a sand castle outside with a bucket and some earth. Destroy the thing (millions of grains of sand). Then build some new towers and presto.
Was that Alex's real award???!
I was so glad I clicked ahead to Alex's "subscribe now" ask at the end and realized my speakers weren't fucked.
windows 10 search bar -> mono audio -> turn mono audio on or off
ALEX YOU FUCKED UP THE AUDIO BRO I ONLY HEAR IN MY LEFT EAR I THOUGHT I HAD A STROKE
There was a bit little time, but if they allowed a few mins more on breaking and fixing, the easiest thing to break and fix would be... an Ice cube. Melt it, it technically breaks into a ton of water molecules, then freeze it back - its good as new!
Could probably do something similar with a chocolate, if one had a form to pour it back into (or didn't care about maintaining the exact shape)
Never would a cheese grater and a brick of butter have felt so powerful
I thought the string was really smart and 5 points worthy.
turn on mono audio to fix the one sided audio
Not only the audio is half, the video quality is completely off too
Video looks fine
I'd have just boiled and then refilled a cup of water.
Break up and re-freeze an ice cube.
Yall should do a compilation of all the tasks that took people over an hour to do, uk and nz. I personally would like to see the extended versions. They are just so over it😂😂😂
It takes a pretty terrible person to destroy someone else's award. I'm glad David struggled so much doing it. When Alex said yes to the idea, maybe he already knew that the thing was damn near indestructible! 😂
He was rightly confident that _David_ wouldn't be a threat to the award.
This shows that David lifts nothing heavier than a pen for his job, and clearly couldn't hit the broad side of a barn with a grenade. Not sure what he thought would happen with a chunk of metal.
Quick tip for the broken audio, set your audio settings to mono so that the audio will play in both ears.
Important information about refunds: what a joy
For those who want to watch the task with proper audio, this task is from Series 9 Episode 3. The task starts at 28:15 in that video. I cannot link the video or the comment my comment will be removed automatically.
Only broke it in half audiowise. You can do better!
whats wrong with the audio, the entire episode is left side only and the ending isa right side only
my right ear felt neglected watching this
He swings the sledge hammer like he is missing a piece of spinal chord.
I don’t know whether it was mentioned in the episode but I noticed as they were reading the task that it had been broken and put back together, so all their hard work was for nothing 😂
Just realised it was obvious as I went back and looked at the task again 😂, even still, I would’ve instantly got something to heat the plasters off the paper and asked for pliers for the staples, then asked for a stapler and glue gun and pieced everything back together.
Katie was so close, bread->dough->playdough!
If you want your right ear to hear this and you're on a Mac... System Preferences > Accessibility > Audio > check Play Stereo Audio as Mono. Your right ear will thank you!
I wonder if Rose has read "The Eyes of the Dragon" by Stephen King? In that story, a prince is wrongly blamed for murdering his father and is then imprisoned in a tower. In order to escape, he takes some threads from cloth napkins that are brought every day with his meals (they give him a fresh one each meal and toss the used ones, so they never notice the missing threads). Over the course of years he uses a toy loom from a doll house from his childhood to create string which he then weaves into a long rope.
I don't think I could fix myself in 7 years, much less 7 minutes.
The chocolate would of actually been a good one to smash into little bits, then melt and put back together. It might be a slightly different shape but it would be an intact chocolate bar.
Select the Start button, then select Settings > Ease of Access > Audio, and then switch on the toggle under Turn on mono audio.
I think a Jenga tower would be a good bet. It is literally made to easily fall apart and be stacked up again.
Why did no one break apart the Wax Seal, then just heat it back up?
My first thought: a wooden table could be torn apart in a short amount of time and hammered back together to fix it in less than seven minutes, easily.
After seeing the contestants select their items: oh, that's an interesting idea, bread can be fixed into a sandwitch even if cut or broken apart(peanut butter or jelly would hold it together). Chocolate on the other hand can be melted back together, really good ideas
They try to "fix" it: forget every nice thing I ever thought of them, they had something right there, why would putting glue or tape on food "fix it". Most of it couldn't even be picked up, let alone eaten.
This was such a simple task and it is amazing how badly they fucked it up
I wonder if making dough would be valid so I can claim my imaginary points.
My solution: the chocolate
Break it as much as you can and heat a pan at the same time
Then melt it in the kitchen, put it into a ice cube tray and freeze it
Yes size and height wont match but hey, close enough.
You can tell that the old gug has NEVER used a sledge hammer a day on his life
Spent the entire time trying to fix my headset only to read the comments at the end! hahaha
My left ear enjoyed the whole video until the end card, then it was right ear's turn.
I always have only my left ear in I was so concerned by the silence at the end
1) get cheese
2) grate cheese
3) melt cheese back into shape
4) ?????
5) profit
my guys, the sound is broken. It's all left.
I’m not sure fixing chocolate with tape and grapes with glue should have counted 🤣 is it fixed if it can’t complete its original task (here, being eaten)? Rose was so smart she’s the only one who truly succeeded imo, because cut string that’s been tied back together is usable.
1:19 did that lady just try some weird jutsu with her hands ?
Whoever decided to upload this with left-channel only audio picked the ear I can't hear properly in.
This is one of those rare instances where my first thought would've beaten all the contestants.
Get a bag of rice, cut a small opening in the top and pour the rice into a bowl. You've now broken the bag of rice into thousands of pieces (each grain of rice being one piece). Then get a funnel, pour the rice back in the bag and tape it up. Bosh.
give me a jug of water and whole bunch of tiny cups or a bunch of ice trays- easy! Seperate the water into as many different places as possible, then poor it all back into the jug :P
I would think that ice cubes might be a good idea. Then again, I'm not an expert on ice so I don't know if it'd freeze in the 7 minutes.
It won't
you couldve used the string to create a broom (a wooden stick, loop the string several times, then tie up one side and cut off the ends of both sides, then stick the make shift mop on the wooden stick.) then you just had to remove the string keeping all the other strings together. and you'd have many piece, then just tie all the strings back together to create the mop again.
Break up the chocolate then put it on the stove and melt it and pour it into a rectangular container and put it in the fridge. Done!
