I just bought new headphones and was ready to be the correct amount of upset to see they were already having the same issue as the old ones. I feel like they played a prank on me
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."
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.
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
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.
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!
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.
Might be the worst point rewards I've seen on the show. Guy who literally did nothing didn't get last. Taped up chocolate got first? Not even sure how it's considered fixed.
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
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!!
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
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.
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😂😂😂
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.
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.
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)
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)
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!
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.
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.
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! 😂
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
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.
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.
Go outside, dig out some dirt or wet sand, clump it into a ball. Now crumble it back into however many millions of grains of dirt/sand. Now clump it back together into a ball. Easy win
Break your audio channels up in to as many pieces as possible, your time starts now
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.
I just bought new headphones and was ready to be the correct amount of upset to see they were already having the same issue as the old ones. I feel like they played a prank on me

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:(
"I've been injecting grapes with nothing?!" is one of my all time favorite TM quotes
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
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.
Alex Horne did break the audio into two pieces but couldnt fix it
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!
A lot of these tasks have very simple solutions that most don't realize.
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! 😀
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.
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.
The hopeless thud when the sledgehammer misses the award entirely is one of the funniest moments in Taskmaster history.
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
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.

Frustrated Ed is my favorite Ed.
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
It took me a couple swings of the hammer before I realized they weren't showing him in slow motion.
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
Brilliant. Love these little treats the Taskmaster gives us, his adoring subjects.
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
@@Hyzen0_0 Yeah, but wouldn't greg get a kick out of it? 😹😹
0:59 quote of the year 😂
The audio on this makes me feel better about my mess ups on my church broadcast.
you broke my left year throughout the episode and fixed it by playing the ending music in my right one
Wow. Crazy. I thought my headset had crapped out in the right ear, and just testing a different audio source.
Best. Upload. Ever. :|
Ed, at least you didn't inject eggs with helium 😅
I should have read the comments before rewiring my audio setup
David did half of this task. He destroyed his reputation this series and yet he forgot to repair it
I would say that destroying someone else’s award is pretty mean-spirited, but Alex agreed to it so that means…something!
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.
Your Task: Listen to this clip with one ear, and then the other ear. Your time starts now.
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.
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 😂
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".
I was so glad I clicked ahead to Alex's "subscribe now" ask at the end and realized my speakers weren't fucked.
I thought she would melt and then freeze the chocolate back into a bar… 3:13
Just me that thought about crumbling the wax seal, re-melting it and turning it back into a seal then? 🙈😆😂
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😂😂😂
The person who has headphones where only the right side works is losing their mind
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 promise I won't leave the room."
Breaks promise, leaves room.
Fixes broken promise. Returns to room.
Task complete.
Just rip apart a bag of flour. Counting the pieces would be an actual fairytale princess task.
That switch up with the intro caught me off guard not gonna lie.
When Ed asked Alex if someone had a car, i was like: "Whow, that's ambitious"... 😂
Was that Alex's real award???!
Sounds like I'm listening to this as a plane is ascending 😅
I’m thinking ice. Then re-freeze it.
in seven minutes?

Never would a cheese grater and a brick of butter have felt so powerful
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.
Break up and re-freeze an ice cube.
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.
This was such a simple task and it is amazing how badly they fucked it up
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.
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)
turn on mono audio to fix the one sided audio
I thought the string was really smart and 5 points worthy.
I think a Jenga tower would be a good bet. It is literally made to easily fall apart and be stacked up again.
Surprise right ear at the end.
thank you alex, for reassuring me that the right speaker on my headphones was not broken.
My left ear enjoyed the whole video until the end card, then it was right ear's turn.
He swings the sledge hammer like he is missing a piece of spinal chord.
I always have only my left ear in I was so concerned by the silence at the end
I don't think I could fix myself in 7 years, much less 7 minutes.
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!
ALEX YOU FUCKED UP THE AUDIO BRO I ONLY HEAR IN MY LEFT EAR I THOUGHT I HAD A STROKE
Important information about refunds: what a joy
Quick tip for the broken audio, set your audio settings to mono so that the audio will play in both ears.
Select the Start button, then select Settings > Ease of Access > Audio, and then switch on the toggle under Turn on mono audio.
this was a treat for my left ear

I'd have just boiled and then refilled a cup of water.
Only broke it in half audiowise. You can do better!
my right ear felt neglected watching this
My left headphone is broken so I guess I'm coming back to this another time!
windows 10 search bar -> mono audio -> turn mono audio on or off
I...I can't BREATHE WHEN ONLY ONE OF MY EARS HEARS THE AUDIO 😭
1) get cheese
2) grate cheese
3) melt cheese back into shape
4) ?????
5) profit
Whoever decided to upload this with left-channel only audio picked the ear I can't hear properly in.
You can tell that the old gug has NEVER used a sledge hammer a day on his life
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.
My left ear thanks you.
Id go to the kitchen, break a bunch of eggs, and make a fixing of scrambled eggs.
I just unwrapped a new pair of headphones for this
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

Got to love CC and his van full of stupid
David never held tools in his life...
I had no idea the audio was broken cause I was already only listening with left ear!
Would have broken the chocolate into even smaller pieces then melted it and cooled it down
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.
Go outside, dig out some dirt or wet sand, clump it into a ball. Now crumble it back into however many millions of grains of dirt/sand. Now clump it back together into a ball. Easy win
I would have sought some appliance or furniture with a lot of exposed screws, start screwing them out until you have to start putting them in again.
