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.
If I had a nickel for evertime there was a task where people had to make a rainbow blindfolded, and the only contestant that could see the colors still did a shit job, I'd have two nickels which isn't a lot but weird that it happened twice
it's insane that there's been two blindfolded rainbow tasks in the first place lol
what was the other one?
@@kkachi560 paint a rainbow in the dark
So true
@@placeholderblankspace
mark was such a genius then did a shit job
David Baddiel trying to smell colours is me trying to sort out my life without any sort of clue
"smells a bit like it might be blue" is one of my favorite quotes of the entire show
Katie saying "it feels blue"
He *almost* redeemed himself with that lolly toss at the camera though.
To be fair, wouldnt put it beside Alex Horne to add scents that work with the colors. (like blueberries for blue and so on)
Dunno why, but it kind of gives me Frank Skinner pie whisperer vibes
"You may only *accuse* one thing of being a dodo." Sometimes one little word choice can make something so much funnier. I never would have thought to use the word accuse but it changes it in a small, delightful way.
Accuse the dodo
Undermine the vole
Standard rules.
So it was totally ok to ASK which one was the dodo as many times as you want?
@@jakedonovan1670 sure but i dont think you wouldve gotten an answer cuz alex asked katy for a formal accusation before revealing the answer
@@janeeyre1990 gay picture.
David out here trying to use the powers of synathesia to win, forgetting the fact he does not have synathesia
I have Synesthesia myself. It makes my job rather interesting at times. Mind you, it's not easy to explain to somebody how the colours smell or feel to you.
synesthesia is not something you would want here, considering the associations that come from it are subjective and largely nonsensical
I never heard the British version of ROY-G-BIV before. I should have known it would involve Richard of York and Bosworth Field. It was good to learn that the Australians and us share the same mnemonic.
I never knew the Kiwis and the Aussies do this too. Anglo step-brothers unite!
@@GnomaPhobic Americans on Roy too.
It might be a generational thing, because I'm brittish and was taught Roy g biv
Americans do Roy G Biv too
Meanwhile I, a Spanish native speaker, discovered with this task that mnemonic rules for the colors of the rainbow are actually a thing. It had never occurred to me!
Sorry, did anyone else notice that David threw a lolly blindfolded and managed to hit the camera??
He was aiming for Alex, so missed pretty spectacularly
Being able to see clearly doesn't help the Taskmaster contestants with rainbows.
Great comment 👌 poor old Mark
And there weren't even witnesses saying "Wow!" instead of being unimpressed. There were no witnesses at all.
Tbf yellow & orange were close, Ed was right in that they were shirt, but still shouldn't like closer & got it
Series 9 had such a brilliant cast dynamic, Rose and Jo’s little discussion on why they called penises Dodos is gold.
It wasn't gold. It was a blessing.😉🥰
“You scored the same as Rose and she couldn’t see”
One of those tasks where a contestant came first but it REALLY doesn’t feel like they won. See also Mark on the can stacking task and Jon with ’Debajo de La Mesa’
When they painted a rainbow in the dark and Mark turned on the lights and still drew worse than most XD
To be fair, Alex did a pretty shit job with the orange and yellow lollies. They kinda did Ed dirty on that one.
I'd assume that was on purpose and the horrible taste were supposed to be used to discriminate between ambiguous colors. Which is why Rose did as well with tasting only as Ed did with sight only.
Just because he could see them it didn't mean he couldn't still taste them. Orange and lavender were distinct flavours in order to tiebreak the lollies that looked like a similar colour I think.
Ed was robbed on this one
Being colour-blind is a crime, apparently
@@jjceleverEd is diabetic so he probably refused to taste them (and therefore was saved by finding the dodo) but you could argue this was a poorly planned task for that reason.
Regardless I also mixed up the orange and yellow lollies so yeah they’re definitely confusing
In David's defense, the colors were scented in the paint a rainbow in the dark task.
And I think Ed struggling with the order while reciting richard of york... proves Greg wrong and that Roy G. Biv is the much better mnemonic. With Roy G. Biv you also get all the color information within 3 syllables. 3 syllables will only get you red and orange the other way.
Honestly, I was so confused at their ways to remember the order, until I remembered that I am norwegian and the colours have slightly different names here. XD
Our's is ROGGBIF btw. The hardest part of remembering it, is that it doesn't follow the grammatical rules of our language. (If it did, it would've been ROGBIFF.)
Why Roy G. Biv and not Roy B. Giv though? The only reason it's memorable is because you make a conscious effort to remember it.
"Richard of York gave battle in vain" is obviously longer, but if you know the phrase you're never going to get the order mixed up. It's never going to be "Richard York of gave battle vain in", is it?
@@TPH250290why Roy g gives, and not Roy b giv? Because that's wrong? It's something you need to memorize either way, so the shorter thing is just going to be easier to remember
@@BioYuGi Congratulations on completely missing my point, I guess.
Richard of York gave battle in vain is easier to remember because it's a grammatically correct sentence. When you know the sentence there is never any chance of getting it wrong.
Whereas you might learn Roy G Biv as a 5 year old but 20 years later, is it Roy G Biv or Roy B Giv? There's no logic behind it at all.
@@TPH250290 I still easily remember Roy G Biv after over 20 years. It's a very memorable name.
Whenever he said red is on the right, it made me wonder if he could just tell them what color the lollies are. Like if they just said "is this red?" I guess he could have lied though
I don't think so, he would've said: I can't help you! As he often dies
I've heard a bunch of different ones for the rainbow, but ROY G BIV is the most common one I've heard. It is also the easiest for me to remember.
I would have accused Alex of being a dodo, just for the giggles.
ROY G BIV is a much easier mnemonic to remember than Richard of York. Also, "mnemonic" is a much harder word to spell than I remember, since I kept trying to spell it similarly to "pneumatic."
Speak for yourself.
Richard Of York has meaning. Wtf is Roy G Biv supposed to be? Some weirdo perv who stalks the neighborhood looking for women on street corners?
"Pneumonic" is a word, but it definitely doesn't mean the same thing.
My exact thoughts, take my like.
Please Never Effectively Utilise Memory Association Tactics Incoherently Complex.
Momentary Numbness Erodes Nascent Memories Operatively Increasing Chaos.
See? Easy! Now you must be pumped that you can remember the difference in spelling between pneumatic and mnemonic. You're welcome.
I’m still struggling to figure out why people need a mnemonic to remember the colours of a rainbow… I’d have thought the order was self evident?
Ed put blue - indigo - violet in the right order, it can clearly be seen in the video (unless they want us to believe that the black lolly is supposed to be "violet" while the VERY LIGHT purple is supposed to be "indigo", which would be criminally insane). And the orange and yellow were virtually indistinguishable. Not very fair play in this one, little Alex Horne!
I don’t think the black one was purple. There’s nine ice blocks but only 7 colours on the block. So I think they also had a white one and a black one.
@@rachelcookie321 Ohhhh snap! Sneaky. I hadn't spotted that, thanks!
But that 'black' looks purple... and indigo is a very dark colour so it makes more sense..
Also while I'd be annoyed if the orange flavour was not the orange colour...technically the 'orange' ice lolly matched the yellow colour on the other side much closer than it did the orange. Or than the yellow did the yellow :p
Ed was on the other side of the table when he removed his goggles. If he had just glanced at the table from that side he probably would have done much better.
Who else is “ROY-G-BIV”!?
America over here
Canada as well
@@slake9727 Australians and Kiwis checked in with it too. What's Britain's problem?
@@nochannel1q2321 Too many people giving battle in vain
I’m from New Zealand and have never heard Roy g biv before. Born in Scotland, moved to New Zealand when I was 7. I haven’t heard the Richard of York thing either.
Same in the Caribbean
Watching him mess up without realizing the colors are on the front...
Despite the weird flavours they chose, this made me really want an ice block. I actually had a dream last night and in that dream I really wanted one of those ice blocks without a stick that you push up.
push pops!!!
Calippo
Nice job releasing this on the day that they talked about it in the podcast. I am so looking forward to Ed having to talk about the rest of the series.
Still curious as to what the other lollies tasted of. How did they do blue and indigo?
Is that the NZ equivalent of Richard of whatever. Yes! It actually is! Rose was 100% on that one. ROY G BIV.
Or, to be precise, every country uses it except for Alex Horne
@@TPHRyan So it would appear.
I don't think David Baddiel's brain works properly.
He certainly gives me hope that I could make a best-selling record.
it works differently.
After watching Taskmaster I am surprised he is able to dress himself every morning.
If I had a nickel for every time there was a rainbow task, and one person found the hidden thing to be able to see, but they didn’t know what a rainbow looked like, I’d have two nickels. Which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it happened twice.
If I had a nickle for everytime I saw this exact comment on this video, I’d have two nickels. Which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it happened twice.
I would of been very confused with this task because I thought the rainbow was red, orange, yellow, light green, dark green, light blue, dark blue, purple.
Red
Orange
Yellow
Green
Blue
Indigo
Violet
Which is pretty close to your way of describing it, if you left out the 'light' in light blue., to be just blue. Also, if you left out 'dark green' altogether. There are only 7 identified colours in a rainbow. 🌈
I have just read another of your comments explaining to someone else that there are only 7 colours in a rainbow! You are on to it! 😎👍
Honestly though the colours of those ice lollys are atrocious. Only red green and blue were anything like normal. Has taskmaster never learned how to use food coloring before?
As an American, I learned the rainbow colors as Roy G Biv as well. Lol. Never thought it was weird until now.
i'm also surprised at the fact that, even without indigo or violet, they didn;t just know red orange yellow green blue purple...like i didn't know people just didn't *know* the rainbow
Roy G Biv is what I use in the US too
I think you are supposed to keep your eyes open around weeping angels.
Roy G. Biv is totally the NZ rainbow way, it's what I was taught.
I’m from Northern Ireland and I remember the rainbow colours through ROY G BIV as well - was so shocked when she came out with it 😂
I thought they’d just ask Alex to tell them what the colour of each was… wasn’t in the rules that they couldn’t ask for help.
Doesn't mean that Alex has to tell them.
Yeah I kinda wish they would boss little Alex Horne around more like they did in earlier series. I prefer that meek character over the sometimes too mocking one he puts on as of late. Just my opinion.
ROYGBIV is absolutely a thing in australia too these people just don’t get it
So like...is David just like that or just rowing down the C-Nile River? Cause lemme tell you, this season of taskmaster has not shown us his cerebral side and it's great
It shows his extraordinary conceit and hubris.
The utter ego trip of actually REFUSING to let Ed 'draw' on his back, (Ed having SEEN what he needed to 'draw'), and then drawing a face because he was convinced it would be a face, truly made me despise him.
It was a truly insulting appraisal of Ed's intelligence and ability and the most breathtaking display of arrogance I have seen in years.
I had little knowledge of Baddiel but if he IS supposed to be very intelligent, his huge conceit and over confidence of his worth, is almost guaranteed to make him fail by his own hand.
Almost everything I know of him, is only due to being a partner of Frank Skinner.
The football song, (which I still haven't heard), the tv show which was also done with Frank Skinner, and what else?
It seems likely to me, that Frank Skinner carried him.
I've never heard of a mnemonic device for the rainbow before, that's wild. I just sort of... know it
Ikr? Same here! In here either at home or at school you just learn it.
Like, having to learn the mnemonic to then have to grab the first letter of each word to correlate it to a colour is so much more work mentally than remembering 7 colours in order!
@@capuchinosofia4771 that's exactly how i feel. watching this episode spun me for a loop because...do people not just know the rainbow ???
Love the paint smeared goggles !
They should say the colours are from white to black to give someone an idea
Roy G Biv approved this video.
They should have asked what color was every lolly
People do understand that the rainbow is a gradient, right?
Right???
So confused why these people don’t even know what a rainbow looks like. I didn’t think you’d even need to know some sort of mnemonic for that. And they still get it wrong.
Some people are mildly color blind, and depending on which of the 3 types it is a)red looks green, green looks red or both; b) blue looks green, yellow looks red or c) a rainbow only appears to have 3 bands an orangish red band, a greenish band, and a pink-purple band
@@ystacalden, yes, but so many of them in one place by random chance?? Or did they specifically recruit colourblind people for this as an added challenge?
@@ubtpixielox Wdym? Only one person could even see the colors
@@emmaselander2160, I don't mean for them to be able to see what the colours are, I mean that none of them seem to know what order a rainbow goes in, like that orange is between red and yellow.
what if they had accused Alex of being the dodo
Roy G. Biv has been canonized in a great They Might Be Giants song for kids. You’ll never forget it again.
Now that we've discussed Richard Of York Gave Battle In Vain as compared with ROY-G-BIV, let's not forget the even earlier spectrum mnemonic: Randy Old Yob Gives Birth In Vitro. I think it first appeared in Chaucer.
Roy.G.Biv ftw
ROY GBIV!!! Love being New Zealander ❤
Future contestants please, the answers are always on the side pointing towards the camera, or under the table. The world is in 3D, you don't have to stand in one place 😂
Katy Wix was not who I expected to love out of this series, but I definitely wound up with a crush on her.
Good coordination to put this out with the podcast.
Indeed! Was listening to David and Ed going through this yesterday!
Don't these people understand how a rainbow works? Any colour prism? If you can see, why would you need a mnemonic? I am so confused!
Why would any adult need a mnemonic to remember a simple fucking rainbow? like even if it weren't such a simple order the colors blend into each other anyway due to basic color theory, like unless you're severely colorblind this should be something you should be more than capable of by elementary school, I feel like I'm taking crazy pills.
Just finished listening to the podcast
Can confirm Roy G. BIV is standard kiwi mnemonic
Is he colorblind?
Roy G Biv just isn't as fun to remeber. THere's no story behind in. Giving battle in vain sticks with you
2:46 she did it! She said the thing!
All she needed to do was point dramatically while saying it!
this is the second time that someone had a sight advantage when making a rainbow in the series where the one with the advantage absolutely fails making a rainbow. Is there something wrong with those folks across the pond why is a rainbow so hard for them
He should have taken off the goggles but kept his eyes closed
Can confirm I learnt Roy G Biv and am from NZ
david forgetting he could taste them
One of my favorite shows! :)
Can someone please explain to me why people need a mnemonic for remembering a rainbow??? This is a completely foreign concept to me. Orange comes after red because orange LOOKS the closest to red and so on…
Excatly what I was surprised about. How can people not know the colours? It's like they really haven't seen a rainbow in their lives. Also, that's what you learn in kindergarten
Funny to me that they have a rainbow mnemonic device, in the states we just say ROYGBIV (like roy-G-biv)
Isn't that a mnemonic too?
@noname-vf1ft sorta, but not quite. It's kinda helpful to have an acronym but usually there needs to be something else like a rhyme, a song (abc's for example), phrase, etc that helps you remember the acronym for it to be mnemonic. Like in math you can either just remember PEMDAS and hope the acronym is memerable enough or you can say Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally.
. . . Are . . . Those . . . Not . . . Popsicles? I thought they were supposed to be lollipops?
Lollies in the UK can be either 😅
"I didn't know what I was licking. I thought I might be licking a Dodo and for me that's a complicated thing to do."
A part that's kinda funny without context, but really funny with context
I still don't get why people need a mnemonic to come up with the rainbow's colors. The visible light spectrum is neighbored by ultraviolet and infrared. That should tell you that violet is on one end and red is on the other. Then it's just color associations. Red is similar to orange, which is similar to yellow. Violet is basically purple, which is similar to blue. Between yellow and blue there's green, from kindergarten education, and you're done.
Yeah. I have no idea what the comments are talking about. All I knew growing upp was the order from the Rainbow song. Which isn't this lol.
Ed, wearing his goggles, makes for a pretty good "James Marsden as Cyclops" cosplay.
Not sure where I heard ROY G BIV (probably US cartoons) but as a British person I've always found that way easier to remember than Richard of York.
Wait other countries don’t use ROY-G-BIV??? That can’t just be a kiwi thing surely?
"Minge! Minge That! That's Minging Disgusting! Roy G. Biv! Am I going to die?"
Why the heck do English speakers need an acronym to remember what a rainbow looks like? I'm so confused 😂
As a New Zealander, I thought that ROYGBIV was an international thing
Stop lolly gagging......................
Exactly! If they had stopped lolly gagging and correctly accused the dodo, they wouldn't have been lolly gagging at all!
Hang on, other countries need a whole mnemonic? Not just ROYGBIV?
In America is Roy G. Biv as well, it's a lot shorter than whatever it is in the UK lol. Also I do believe there are more Americans and New Zealanders than Brits so it seems like you guys are the weird ones hahaha
4:08
Real ones know the rainbow from The Cat in the Hat Knows Alot about That
Don't talk shit about our man Roy, Greg
Katy’s “j’accuse!” is amazing 😂
6:30 this phrasing as an extremely different meaning where I live.
surprised nobody accused alex of being a dodo
I'd be useless at this task, I'm colourblind 😂
We say Roy G. Biv in the US.
welcome to the color blind club
I say ROYGBIV as a word
It feels blue…is she the girl from poltergeist?
Maybe she has touch - colour synaesthesia. Doesn't seem weird to me!
Do they not teach Roy G Biv in the UK?
They do
Tbh I’m from the UK and never heard that. I only know Richard Of York Gave Battle in Vain
Coincidentally the Taskmaster episode released today is Ed talking with David about S9E1.
I can't believe Roy G Biv isn't universal! What a clunky stupid acronym "Richard of whatever-whatever" is. It confused more than helped! Meanwhile, Rose nailed it with the simplicity of Roy G Biv, blindfolded!
UK be doing too much with "Richard of York" just say ROY G BIV
It's "ROY G BIV" in the U.S. as well, because that's way easier to remember than some bizarrely-phrased sentence.
Also, that orange definitely looked pretty close to yellow.
Everybody making fun of them trying to smell colors seem to forget that there are only 6 real tastes and the rest are aromas. There is no taste that is banana, it is only banana smell entering the nose through the throat and therefore giving a different experience than smelling it normally
2:58 and 4:01 Katy and David sing a bit of "I Can Sing a Rainbow" but it gets edited out. David isn't just standing there dawdling (although it does make it funnier).
That makes sense. Must of cut it because of stupid TH-cam copyright rules.
@@rachelcookie321Copyright laws apply to television as well. It has nothing to do with TH-cam.
@@wohlhabendermanager they had it in the original tv broadcast though, so it’s obviously to do with TH-cam.
@@rachelcookie321 Then they only aquired the rights for a TV broadcast and nothing else.
Again: This has nothing to do with TH-cam, but with copyright laws itself.
@@wohlhabendermanager it really does have to do with TH-cam. You just don’t understand TH-cam copyright rules. They’re much stricter than the law requires.
What's the deal with Richard of York?
He was the last English monarch to die in battle, at the Battle of Bosworth Field in 1485. It led to the end of the Wars of the Roses and the rise of the Tudor dynasty. Thus pretty important in English history, but less relevant for those of us in the colonies.
@@GnomaPhobic Thanks that's very educational actually. But what he has to do with the task 🙈
@@buskergirl Richard of York = Roy = red orange yellow...
@@buskergirl It's a mnemonic for the seven Newtonian colors of the rainbow: Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, Violet. The mnemonic is "Richard Of York Gave Battle In Vain."
@@EebstertheGreat Oh COME ON, why would they need mnemonic for 3 primary colours 🙇♂️ and how they bleed into one another. I mean don't they learn basic arts in elementary school? Learning the text about Richard of York and the history behind him takes way more effort than mixing red-yellow-blue paint in kindergarten. 😂 So British.. They need everything to rhyme or alliterate, bless them... At least I learned something from British history. 😁
That "rarely seen" joke at 1:30 was absolutely awful. Far out.
Here in Australia we say Roy G Biv 🌈 🇦🇺
