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
It's absolutely insane to me that Phil was the only one who used an intelligent method and ended up second-to-last. There is truly no justice in this world.
Man's got the brains but no hustle
He shouldve used objects and water for just the final kilo or so
That makes me think of Bridget Christie in the 'answer your phone task'; she had by far the best hiding place for her key as putting in her boot was easy for her to retrieve but difficult for anyone else, banged a pot to fulfill the noise brief instead of shouting like everyone else and stored the soft toys in a bin bag to make them easier to carry. However, she still took the longest by far 😅
Producers probably set the flow rate on the spigots to be slow enough that it wouldn't fill in time.
@@IveGotAHondaFiftyexactly what I was thinking
“Why are you only using shoes” just tipped me over the edge with laughter for Jess
She was smart and ended up doing fine but she did some of the silliest things, clearly without intending to, of any contestant ever.
@@patpat8727 The Knappett is forever part of TM legend now. 😂
She was a good contestant, a really good contestant, in a series with other complete madmen
Bit surprised no one tried writing that number on it as a gamble
That was my immediate reaction to seeing the challenge. Break the screen and write it on.
I would have used tape. Or no need to break it.. Just a marker or crayon
Or you could enter the calibration menu and we recalibrate it to show the needed number
@@StravenR - yeah, that was my thought, only it probably would have taken me 10+ minutes to figure out how to reset it. (One of those "it's clever, but if you can't do it faster than the stupid way, you shouldn't try it" sort of things.)
@@kevinschultz6091 There's a Tare button right on front, just lift the plate until it reads -31.77 kg then tare. If you are off by a little you can always just add more weight afterwards.
there really wasn’t a single normal contestant that season lol
Honestly so good
@@stoickes James Acaster is peak england
My favorite description I’ve seen for a series was for this one. It went something close to ‘every series has a psychopath, somehow this one has 7’ and it’s just so absurd but accurate 🤣
Who finished last, Acaster? I'd like to see any of them again.@@amberdawn5372
Rhod seemed pretty normal to me. :D :P
Serious talk, Phil's attempt was brilliant!
Dragging 30+ kg of water to the lab is pretty impressive. Probably the better way would have been to fill the bucket halfway, carry it, then get the rest from the kitchen...but that's hindsight. Not going to say I would have thought of that.
@@patpat8727 his biggest delay was probably filling the bucket, so splitting the faucets would have nearly halfed his time on that and he would be faster moving the water to the scale.
It was the only sane attempt
He should have just used heavy objects like bricks to make up all but the last kilo and used a bit of water to get the magic ollie.
I think he had the best strategy. In retrospect I wonder if the best thing wouldn't have been to take the scales down to where he filled up the water.@@HellHunter00
I wonder if this was the first task they filmed, or at least early on the first day? Phil seems as yet unbroken by the process and Jessica seems unaware she can leave the room.
Forget about the Champion of champions, I'd love to watch the Sewerdwellers, the Jessica Knappetts, Charlotte Ritchies and Nish Kumars of the program on one series together!
I mean Jessica was like just a few points off from winning this series hahahaha
I want to see Hugh, Al Murray, Doc Brown, Rhod Gilbert, Chris Ramsey/Judi Love ... some of the others.
@@marinvracevica literal single point off. If anyone other than Kerry had won the final sausage or finger task (which really shouldn't have been a winner-takes-all), Jess would have won the series. But this task _really_ doesn't highlight her as a strong contestant lol
Rhod would have won if he hadn't used every prize task as a chance to give Greg shit@@robertluong3024
Screw that, I want a 2 hour long battle royale of every contestant ever attempting the same very chaotic task
Watching all these individual tasks, you'd never think that Jess lost this season by ONLY 1 POINT!
Spoiler headass
@@MrFuzziiWuzzii Its like 7 years old.
@@GodwynDi no ur like 7 years old
And u are 5@@MrFuzziiWuzzii
Given how the tasks go I knew there had to be one specific thing that weighed that amount, but I think trying to find that might have taken longer than just doing it anyway
Taskmaster uploading the task with the quote "How much does water weigh" the day after releasing the episode called "How heavy is the water", I see what you are doing!
Love how you can hear Jess audibly groan throughout Rhod's scale spitting 😂
Watching this as a German and I was profoundly confused at first in on how in the world they were going to find almost 32 tonnes 😂
as a georgian i hate comma notation for decimals lmao
Another thing that the US/UK does wrong compared to everyone else
As a Dutch; the same.
It's English that is the different one; pretty much all main European languages use commas for decimals and full stops as thousand separators. 😝
And that is why it is recommended for a space to be used as a thousands+ seperator...of course, that can add its own confusion aswell.
Didn't Kiell Smith-Bynoe ask about the weight of water in one of his task attempts?
Wtf I've LITERALLY WATCHED THAT EPISODE TODAY
The boat making task
@@unknownname1941 THAT'S the one! What a fantastic series!
Coincidentally also the same contestant that opted to take shoes off for another task.
Yeah, but going by the several top photos goodle shows of him, such a question is nowhere near as surprising from him.
It’s weird hearing Phil not announced as the series loser, it actually took a while for James to overtake him.
Rhod trying to use spit, not immediately succeeding and trying to hock up a load of heavier phlegm will never not make me laugh!
He dragged that up from down under haha
jess is like a sesame street character 🤣
Saw the clip on fb and was waiting to see the full one on here !
The guy doing Alex's part in the Norwegian version of the show is called Ollie so that ending truly threw me
5:50 its a verry specific number.
well if you just think about it, every number is verry specific. even 1,000kg
y'all i was bouta sleep you cant be doing this to me
Same I need to wake up early tomorrow ffs
Where are you located, and what time is it there? I'm in America, Los Angeles specifically, so this was uploaded at ten in the morning for me, so I'm in the opposite situation, I just woke up and had this to look forward to with breakfast.
im in australia, i think it was like 2am@@billyeveryteen7328
I would have just gotten some tape, put it over the display and written the weight on it...its totally in the task master spirit.
3:56 was very nicely timed after the. How heavy is the water episode from season 15, which just aired yesterday
Which episode is that one?
Water famously weighs 1g for every 1ml.
"How much does water weigh" is a clever question but only as clever as the person being asked it seems.
No it’s not. The answer to it is always “depends how much you have”
That is technically correct, yes. I think most people's immediate response would be "well, how much water do you have?" though
is that like pure water? does it vary depending on like salt water or having various other impurities and stuff?
@@eomoranI see where you're coming from but that response doesn't answer the question "how much does water weigh?". It seeks to answer "how much does n litres of water weigh?".
In the absence of a quantity you've gotta assume they're simply seeking a formula to calculate themselves.
@@robertluong3024 I'm no scientist but if you had water with 5 grams of iron per litre of water in a 1000 litre tank the difference in weight compared to distilled water be negligible.
How did I completely forget this task? I fully watched this series
Same here! What episode is this from?????!
@@billbauer9795 Episode 4
I'd have pulled up on it to go negative and tare it near -30. Then grabbed a jug and added the last bit in water.
One of the best tasks this
I'm surprised noone raided the pantry. I mean, food has its weight on the package
I'm surprised nobody just wrote the number on a piece of paper and stuck it over the scale
That eternal question:
Series 7 Episode 4 "How much does water weigh?" at 3:58
Series 15 Episode 4 "How Heavy Is The Water?"
I find it deeply disappointing that no one turned the scale off and wrote the number on it with a marker.
Phil truly went all out with the Bruce Lee theme. First the suit, then with "...be water, my friend". He should have gotten 1st based only on that.
Am i the only one that immediately would have lifted up on the scale and re-zeroed it to make it easier? Or maybe even get it in one.
I was at the recording of this episode and my god it was absolutely hilarious.
The first water one, is exactly what I thought of doing.
‘How heavy is water?’ is the ‘how long is a piece of string’ for the 21st century.
We really need a Losers' Championship
The water bucket was my thoughts exactly.
I wonder if it was possible to just change the readout with buttons
Thats what I thought lol i would have zeroed it
My first idea was that door right next to the scale.
My first thought was to change the settings so it wouldn't need any weight on it.
You just know that James was the kid spelling BOOBS on the calculator in Algebra.
Did they have backup scales in case someone breaks the display?
Grab some paper, grab a pen, scratch 31.770 on it, stick it over the scale's display, done.
i thought the video title said they needed tot put 31 Tons onto the scale 😂
Omg lol. Why have i never seen this before? This was so funny 😂😂😂
I am genuinely curious about this hypothetical that I just came up with: If I wrote exactly "31.770kg" on the back of the letter before taping it to the scale, would that have counted?
Then the paper would have read 31.770kg, not the scale.
I am wondering what would happen if they wrote that with a marker directly on the scale though.
It would all come down to Greg if he allows it or not, I guess.@@LafferStyle
How much does water weigh is perfectly fine.
Its 1 kg per litre.
I thought that weight would be the weight of the scales, so the quickest solution then would be turning the scales upside down over the side of a table
That's what I thought too, but then I realized why on earth would you make a scale that heavy that has a maximum capacity of only 60 xD
@@DissarayJay Yeah doesn't make much sense lol unless they added that maximum weight limit as a joke
@@DissarayJay Alex does mention it's a butcher's scale. Butchers aren't typically weighing out +60kg cuts of meat.
I would have taken the cover off the screen and just drawn the weight on the backlight with a sharpie.
The only show you can hock a logie.😳
Legend says in its trial version the task said 58.008 kg :D
James is so lovely
I thought the water was a stroke of genius actually as its the easiest to manipulate. A crime he ended up second to last though
Just push on it
Spells ollie
Surprised no one did one foot on the scale and gradually changed pressure
Rod said he only put his foot on it so I think they tried.
@@lux0rd01 they have to hold the weight for 5 seconds accurate to 10g of pressure.
@@matmagix3845 I'm not disputing that. I was just saying they all tried and rod or however you spell it even tried just one foot. Point is, it's very hard to put down and have it that accurate for that long
@@matmagix3845Just grab any object over the target weight, do a simple math to see how much over the target it is, take it off the scale and put your foot on it to get the correct difference, tare, and put the object back on. Voila!
just get a permeant marker and write 31.770kg on the screen, boom it reads 31.770kg.
Onya Ollie
All the shoes lol
I believe it lead to "Display the shoe Alex's thinking of" task. :D
Oh, that statue weighing 31.77 kg Alex showed at the end was probably in the house somewhere.
yeah 1:13
It was used in a previous task that episode where they had to figure out what happened when the switch was flicked
You must be new here.
probably?
The statue is called Ollie the Knight. Which the contestants all knew. Hence as often with Taskmaster, the clue to an easy win was right there.
Wait..how many on set? All the shoes???
Best method is to get just under the limit with big quick heavy items then fill a small cup of liquid to dial in the rest
Can’t you just sit next to it put your palm on the weight and start pushing down? If you’re even a little bit strong you should be able to get to 32 kg of pushing power
@@user-un7qx2un3g good luck maintaining that much force with enough precision to stay within 5 grams on the display for 5 seconds
@@MaxLennon When I used to weigh medicine for a pharmacy company I did it all the time when I was bored to get some funny numbers. We rounded up to 2 decimals but I got it pretty accurate without much trouble idk maybe I have a hidden talent.
@@user-un7qx2un3g your scales were not weighing over 30 kg of medicine at a time lol
@@MaxLennon no lower but it wasn’t uncommon to see up to 10 kg also the bigger the number the less difficult it would be to get precise so that’s not the problem
Tape + Sharpie = 31.770kg
the best joke :"kilograms"
Sadly "how much does water weigh" hits differently in the USA because we didn't *invent our entire measurement system around water* (which I'm saying like a bad thing but is actually quite genius), though Phil's technique would have worked regardless as it worked by guessing rather than measuring to the milliliter.
That's unfortunate for Americans, because in the British system one fluid ounce of water weighs exactly 1 oz, and one gallon of water weighs exactly 10 lb. Neither is true in US customary units. (In the USA, 1 fl oz of water weighs approx. 1.043 oz, and one gallon of water weighs approx. 8 lb 5½ oz.)
@@ib9rt yeah, unfortunately despite being 16 fl oz, a pint's *not* a pound the world around :') can we please use the metric system where one liter of water weighs one kilogram.....
America didn’t invent their system of measurement.
i would pull it up until its -31.770kg then press the tare button and let it do it itself xD
Baseballs aren't hollow.
How to complete task in less than 10 seconds: Place challenge card that says 31.770 kg on the scale. Wait 5 seconds. Win.
04:54 How much does water way? Pretty sure 1 litre of water equals one kilo….the measurement was designed that way I believe.😂
7:30 Is Ollie the name of the statue? Was it meant to be a hint to use it?
As shown afterward, he weighs exactly that amount when placed on the scales. The statue's name was revealed in a previous task involving working out what the switch does.
31.770kg is OLLIE . . . Who is this Ollie and what do they want with all this power?
My immediate thought was to use water, so I guess my thinking process is like Phil's? XD
But how much does water weigh?
31.770kg
@@stebsisBritish Imperial gallon is 8 pounds. "A pint's a pound the world 'round".
I suppose it weighs a wang then….
@@stebsis 1kg per liter. It's actually a very simple calculation. A container to hold the water on the scale plus some 2lr bottles is all you need.
Howling 🤣😂
What is the significance of Ollie?
Im surprised they didn't just push on it with their foot and then press the zero button
So they'd have to add even more weight? Smart
No they'll just calculate how much heavier they are than 31.77kg and put that much force on the scale is@@darkmessiah5549
@@darkmessiah5549well he's kinda right when you let go it would show close to the required weight, but itll be negative
Would have been hilarious if there was something close by labelled "This weighs exactly 31.770kg" 🤣😂
There was an Ollie nearby
What is Ollie?
Water is the best to go
Hey Phil! How heavy is the water?
Why didn't they just change the numbers on the scale lol
was there a 70 pound weight somewhere lol
Yes. Ollie the statue outside.
Spoiler blocker
So OLLIE weighs his own name? 🤔🤔
And we uncover that people simply don’t know wool (or other wicking material) prevent moisture buildup on the foot, which in turn prevents foot odour. No need to ever have stinky feet again. Our feet sweat a lot, way more in summer. But if moisture is moved off the foot... bacteria can’t thrive... and feet no longer stink. I learned this from my podiatrist. Stinky free for over 20 years now.
0:35 my heart broke a bit
I could put my dog on the scale that is almost that weight
So did they name Ollie because he weighs that much? Did they commission Ollie that way?
Did they preset it with weight already added?
HOW IS OLLIE EXACTLY 31.770!?!?
Amazing
I'm disappointed no one tried to teach the scale to read 🤷♂ I'm sure it would have taken at least 5 seconds to work out what the numbers on the card you were holding in front of it meant 🤔
Spit? Literally could have taken the piss if he wanted to go gross lol
So anyways, I started spitting.
..Ollie..?
It’s the statue outside
Step 1: Lift the scale up with around 31 kg of up force
Step 2: Push the "tare" button then let go
Step 3: Use a small pot of water to get it to read the exact weight
I don't know if I could have figured out that "tare" is the zeroing button in time, but I think this would have been my approach too :)
Audience, Alex, and Greg: ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
lift the scale up? I don't think that's how scales work lol
I need to sleeppp
You could just keep pressing the Tare button also to incrementally increase the weight of any object you place on the scales.
That would decrease it
I am now wondering - did they come up with Ollie name after someone decided to weight him and read scales upside-down for some reason? 🤔
If I had to guess, I think they filled him in so he is exactly the wheight that when read upside-down on a scale can pass as a very good name for the statue.
I couldn't stop thinking about this
Never mind putting random objects on a scale till it reads that number, imagine fashioning a sculpture till it reads exactly that number
Everyone old/young enough having an electronic calculator in their school years are familiar with these numbers: 31770, 07734, 58008, ... :D
Alex and Tim Wine are in the right age.
Could you not just push the scale down, with a heavy object on it? Nothing in the task said you couldn't
It wouldn't be the best option, though. It's a sensitive scale, and you'd have to hold a very precise weight for 5 seconds, which is harder than it sounds.
I thought that number would be the weight of the scales themselves… turn it over and weigh itself on a chair or table edge.
In this video: Nobody in Britain knows how much a kilogram weighs, thus disproving once and for all the myth that Americans are the "only" people in the world who don't understand metric.
65g of spit lmao
