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.
I love how Joe went the other way, where the beauty wasn't the end result, but the process of destruction.
Noel, too.
@@qwertyTRiG but I'm not surprised by Noel's take on the assignment, him being an artist and all.
I love the Gustav Holst as the backing track.
Interesting, I would have thought the beauty in the process was the default way to understand the instruction. The end result, if successful, is total destruction, so I didn't think they'd be trying to make that beautiful.
That was exactly what I thought when hearing what the task was
I actually found the dissasemby layer by layer with a knife was quite elegant.
If only some layers didn't break
You don, don't you, Dexter Morgan?
You would love to see my sliced bodies room
Mental¡
I didn't like the washing machine one at all. Nothing beautiful about it.
i would probably elegantly eat the whole thing
I'm hungry too.
I've tried to eat a whole cake in one sitting before. It's next to impossible.
@@Sammie1053 Bulimia can make the impossible dream a reality.
@@Sammie1053 ive done it, hard, but not impossible
@@Sammie1053 If you starve yourself the entire day and decide to only have one meal, it's pretty easy.
“I wasn’t trying to clean the cake”
Lmao
I love Noel. He just seems to be a genuinely enjoyable person.
I expected him to say: the cake cycle, of course!
I absolutely lost it when he said that 😂

One of my favourite parts of this show are the shots of Alex’s face when the people are doing something strange, they’re always so perfect
We should replace the surprised pikachu face with different shots of his face during those moments. It's just so perfect for that meme
My immediate response was "fireworks" too
How do you set that up in 30 min though? Was the firework just laying around?
@@andreashofmann4556 this show is prepared for anything
The man in-charge of Taskmaster is Alex. If you have a request he's always there.
It's not the only time that people have requested fireworks in the show.
@@andreashofmann4556 most people's first thought at the phrase destruction is an explosion. That is something to stock up on ahead of time. Plus they seem to shop for any requested items before time starts
Same
Alright, Hugh's serial killer tableau definitely deserved more than last place! I mean, it should come with a complimentary trip to Arkham Asylum right after, but still!
He pretty much cut it instead of destroying it. His cake is still very much edible and tastefully edible at that.
I would've invited several people to come eat the cake with me, we'd then spend the next 30 minutes eating cake. The beauty is in the community of it.
Your Dad - That’s lovely, but you know Greg would put you in last place 🤷♀️
@@Agnes.Nutter Bring it to a homeless shelter or some kind of charity. Greg can't put it in last place now.
That's what I was thinking, tbh I wouldn't care if I got last place, I'd have gotten free cake 😂
Maybe the real beauty are the friends we made along the way...
@@ZNotFound Yes, yes he could
Place a layer of mayonnaise on top of the icing of the cake. The cake remains intact and pretty looking but is completely ruined
Günsche Van Leiden oooh!
If it's good mayo, I'd try that.
Nice
It said destroy, not ruin. That'd be purely evil though
Yes!
It hurts watching 5 perfectly good and delicious looking cakes be utterly wasted.
A brilliant thought: just raise the cake slowly into an overpowered cieling fan XD
Hannah Salter ah, ok. That’s really weird, so do you just have multiple fans in a room???
@@hiffahyphae6707 I would assume it's because it rarely gets that hot in England🤔 I'm from Finland and most of the people don't have ceiling fans, the insulation in our houses take care of most of the temperature fluctuations and if necessary we get individual fans/heaters with a cooling function (cooler didn't sound right😂)
Maria K ah, right. Ok thank u for answering me
@Hannah Salter I think they're common in the southern united states because it's… hot
and some apartments
@@prismthegoddess They're common in the entire united states.
I just would have thrown the cake in alexes face. Greg would have found that beautiful for sure
I was thinking pick it up, turn around, and give it a good toss at the painting and hope it sticks
I was thinking, have Alex sit on the cake. It's elegant innit ?
I was honestly thinking of first throwing it at alex's face, pick up the rest and throw it at the painting and draw a beard and moustache on the painting with it. Maybe even a dick.
Beautiful cake for a beautiful man
a thousand and two hundreds likes for this.................................................................................

Why is no one talking about Lolly? That was really creative
Exactly! And if it was an artist they could have made a real masterpiece out of the different fruits
funny how lolly(loli) is the youngest one
@@Grimoire0w0 thatts creepy bro
We don't do ceiling fans where I'm from.
@@powerofthec5908 wh..
5:34 The way they shot it from the inside of the washing machine is just beautiful. I love it.
You know what made Noel's beautiful? The fact that there's a rubber duck in there too.
i never noticed that till now!! brilliant. 😂
Idk why but I really wish someone would have tried to separate all the individual parts of the cake into delicate little designs or piles. Like separating each different type of fruit and then trying to scoop all the icing off and then the naked cake and so on.
That'd exactly how I was thinking of destroying it!
@@BigBrocolli9 Me too!
I was thinking something vaguely similar. Separate all the toppings, then neatly cut up the cake
Deconstructed cake
This was the first thing I thought hahaha
I can only imagine what the crew has to go through to return the cottage to pristine condition after each recording.
Dishwasher cake remains...
Right, that must be a real mission sometimes.
@@13vatraone might even say.... a task...
Also Sarah's milk spill in the lab.
Mel: *Destroys cake*
Noel: "So do you need a new host for the Great British Bake Off...?"
As a baker, this task hurt me.I really wish someone had just eaten the darn thing. XD
Apentogo As a person who can afford cake, it’s overrated
I fully expected one of them to just sit there and eat cake for 30 minutes.
@@shawn7455 but you have a choice??? also like, different people like different things?? also cakes have different flavors?? i dont see your point
Echo can you not take a joke? the comment was a month again
ago*
I love how they just get done heaping praise on the fireworks display, then ask about Noel's and it just cuts right to him loading it into the washing machine!
when I heard "beautifully" I registered as in a "beautiful destruction" not, create something beautiful BY destroying the cake, right?
thats the trick of it, these things are subjective... but ultimately up to greg
My mind went
"Take it to an orphanage and treat the children"
Utter destruction & ultimate beauty!!! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
"I wasnt trying to clean the cake" That had me dying
I don't know what I love more. Noel laughing like a maniac when the cake is in the wash, or Greg's indignant "Some of your 'dirty?!'"
I can’t believe Lolly got 4th place, she deserved more
5th. Let's be real. Liza Tarbuck retroactively won this one.
destroying a cake artistically i wouldve crushed it witht the painting
I was thinking that.
I wouldve smeared it across the lines of the painting
Haven’t watched it yet-
If no one elegantly eats the cake like a proper British person I will sue
Update: my disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined

@@MyFictionalChaos Make the cameramen/host eat it? Not allowed?
@@rimshakayastha6850 I mean you can't MAKE them, but yeah you could probably offer to have it all together.

@@jebronlames4559 Anything to inspire the masses.
I'm just surprised that no one simply just shoved the cake in Alex's face.
I would have given the cake a Viking funeral
? So a burial ? Cause that was the most common funeral for vikings. But I guess you're thinking of a cremation with a ship on water which was incredibly rare and only done for high status people.
The classic idea of a Viking funeral (Ofc...who could actually think anything else was meant?) would indeed have been spectacular!!!
(Hopefully no one feels the need to intentionally misunderstand any part of my comment in an attempt to appear superior.)
I love that what Joe did was my initial idea, too. And he did it so beautifully
mels eye twitching and "dont say the c word" are glorious. so giggly.
What an amazing line up! Can’t wait to see more of them! The pure joy on Joe’s face at the end 🥰🥰🥰
And Mel!!
3:52 As soon as I saw the goggles and gloves I knew that this one was going to match the sort of beautiful destruction that I was expecting. Nicely done!
This group was my favorite season of taskmaster, easily. Mel is just such a delight, as are Lolly and Joe.
What I would’ve done is ask Alex for a pair of drumsticks (preferably for actual drums, but chicken drumsticks could make this funnier), taken the cake outside and put it on a table, put on a smock and some goggles, and drum that cake to smithereens to the tune of Ode to Joy with the most serious look on my face.
Okay cmon I am genuinely maf like yeah Hugh's wasn't amazing but they shouldn't have put him in last place, that should've been Mel I mean dang at least Hugh took his time.
I can't tell you how hard i laughed at 6:26 "some of my dirty" 🤣
I was thinking the most beautiful way to destroy the cake is to find a group of people (either hungry or just nearby) and share the cake
Being trapped in a washer while Noel cackles outside is now a major fear.
I would find a homeless person and share the cake with them. The cake is destroyed and what’s more beautiful than genuine human decency? I would then pie Alex with the leftover frosting cause I hate frosting.
@Mia Smith no, joe didnt like it bc it was covered in firework smoke and ashes
Google "Refeeding Syndrom". People could actually die from this.
i just posted this. Beat me to it!
That’s exactly what I was thinking!
Best idea.
Fireworks was my knee jerk reaction and I'm so glad he executed it so well.
The best part of this task is that Mel was one of the hosts for the Great British Bake Off in the earlier seasons and Noel is one of the current hosts of Bake Off
30 minutes to make a cake inedible to others in an appealing manner.
Eat the cake with table manners in 25 minutes and then breakdance on the table.
i would drop flowers in a pool, and then drop the cake into the pool. all filmed in slow-mo.
Joe's tiny little boy face on every task makes me very happy
Mel should have said something like "I've always wanted to do that" haha!
BEST OF JOE LYCETT
I am genuinely happy that Joe and I same idea.
From now on every time I wash my clothes I’ll be thinking about what happens to my "dirty"
I have no idea how I've been able to live without this show so far.
Opera music playing in the background, dim lights and an entire cake to eat, ahhh yes, beauty.
All men destroy the cake that they love;
brave men with a sword
CwH
Ach, ja Taskmaster. Ohne Tuatariahausen wäre ich nie auf den Geschmack dieser Wunderbaren Show gekommen. Die nächste Station unserer Schnitzeljagd ist auch schon die letzte. Dann könnt ihr eure Buchstaben zusammen puzzlen.
Hatschu🤧 sneezing isn't normal. I never sneeze.
I would have invited some friends over and eaten the cake. There is something beautiful about people enjoying each other's company and celebrating life
Just Noel's silver sparkly shoes coming up to the washing machine, he kneels down and has a yellow skeleton suit? on. The combination alone should have given him points😂
Joe Lycett is just adorable.
My first thought was blow the cake up with fireworks, and now I'm disturbed by the prospect Joe and I are on the same wavelength.
Better than Hugh the Ripper, I suppose.
My first instinct was “blow it up, film it in slow motion and put Tchaikovsky underneath”. I was in for a surprise…
Think he misunderstood. Wasn’t how to beautifully destroy a washing machine
loli should’ve won the cake or at least 2nd place, she legit made art with it
Yeah the taskmaster's decision on loli is not even explained except for a silly joke... She did deserve at least second place.
The fireworks one was spectacular
I do not envy whoever had to clean that washing machine afterwards.
Wait until you watch series 7 of taskmaster. James Acaster is in it
If they're showing Series 4 tasks, they've gotta do the team task with the tub.
Liza Tarbuck: "Hold my fucking beer."
Noel as someone who shares your name. This makes me proud. The rubber ducks were a good touch
I would have just cut off a slice, said that the cake is beautiful even when sliced and when it's sliced it's technically destroyed since its no longer whole
then, of course, eat the slice I cut off since its free cake.
Would probably have done really poorly but sometimes in life you need to make sacrifices
I liked the heart made of cake, it really was the most beautiful way to destroy it
Oh man I had the best idea. Make a black and white silent film where the wife tells the husband he isn't the father of his kids and he drops the cake he's holding and dies of a heart attack.
I’d ballet with the cake in my hands, spinning around and dropping it while walking gracefully across it. Or I’d arouse it- there’s no debate here.
Government of Pika y e s
From first to last I would have gone Fireworks, Heart, Washing Machine, Flip and Smoosh, and then the Disassemble Layer by layer. You can't tell me that using a cake as paint to create art from art isn't a beautiful and creative idea.
Get me a canvas, I'm painting.
Zero hesitation on flipping the cake. First idea best idea.
Smash it elegantly into the painting on the wall behind them lol
I would give the cake to a group of toddlers. Nothing is more beautiful than the joy of children.
No performance art? I thought an interpretive dance atop the cake would have been a win for sure.
Hm. Weird ratings, i prolly liked the heart most.
Yeah I think the heart should have gotten second. Nothing tops the beauty of fireworks and explosions when it comes to destruction.
Ah Joe went for the classic. I know why I love him xD
More more more please

much thanks man
"destroy this cake"
-writes gluten free on a placard and puts in front of the cake-
Firework in the middle. Boom 💥.
> Destroys a cake with fireworks
> Music overlay is Venus
The fireworks didn't even destroy the cake as you would expect they would
Mel should have trown the flowers on the cake before walking out.
“Beauty should be edible, or not at all.” ― Salvador Dalíi
I was really hoping one of them would quote that, and then just sit and eat it.
ART IS AN EXPLOSION!
Heart- slicing- firework- machine- crushing it down
"The cake is already destroyed" and then poetically build through history to a final moment of "So the cake is ALREADY destroyed."
Never touch the cake.
I just realized that property is the taskmaster's house.
I am in love with Mel, she is so charming in everything she does 😍
Dress up as a fancy lady from the Victorian era and eat the cake is what i'd do
Hahaha omg yes, my immediate response was fireworks, I'm so glad someone had the same idea
Hugh arranging the cake that way = the white walkers arranging body parts 😱
I would have put the cake into a huge blender with a bunch of milk and made a cake milkshake. Thoroughly destroyed, but might be pretty tasty afterwards other than the strange texture, and could have a rather neat color to it.
I loved every second of this
true art.... IS AN EXPLOSION
I would have done an office space tribute to destroying the cake.
I'm jelly of Noel's hair. Been a chrome dome myself since I was 25.
