I'm pretty sure he's alright with being the protagonist of one of the best, if not the single best, moment in the show's history. And there have been many special moments so that's saying something. It wouldn't have been nowhere near as memorable had it been a valid attempt and from a comedian's point of view, that's more important. Maybe not at the moment but retrospectively, I'm sure he doesn't mind at all.
Yes, and adding on top of that how much he struggled with some of the other tasks, but every time he could think, “Just wait. You’re going to see me finally redeem myself.”
@@Kinglink If I remember correctly he didn't have to go home and watch, he heavily side eyed him just due to how hard the audience laughed at "we fought for you, mate"

How do I get to heaven? Will my good deeds be measured against my bad deeds? Do I need to be a good person to go to heaven? How do I know if I'm good enough? Well the bible says no man is good, for all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. So how do we get to heaven? Answer: By believing on Jesus Christ who took the punishment for our sin on the cross. There are no amount of good works we can do to achieve salvation because salvation is a free gift of God. We need to humble ourselves, realize we are sinners and that we need a savior. John 3:16 For God so loved the world that He gave his only son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.
the full video is even better , all of the others had a lot of difficulty in completing the task and it just sets it up brilliantly when Joe just plonks it
If he had been given the points it would have been a memorable part in the series. The fact that he was denied the pointd has made it become legendary across all of Taskmaster.
Jesus took the fall for all of mankind. He will save you, if you would just cry out to Him. Call upon His name today. Romans 10:13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved
I like how this video had the whole clip of the task and Joe's downfall. The ones of the Taskmaster channel edit out the studio bits, which to me is the best bits of this. the voting and then doc's "that's harsh" at the end
For God so loved the world that He gave his only son, that whosoever believes on him should not perish, but have everlasting life...God loved us first, would you show your love to him. Repent and be converted. Now is the time for salvation, tomorrow may be too late
I think this one task perfectly sums up why Taskmaster is such a great show. The challenges are dumb but ingenious with room to find creative solutions or totally snooker yourself. The contestants get genuinely into it and really care which makes it compelling to watch. But what pushes it into genius level is the timing and editing of the footage. The audience reaction as they zoom in on Joe's foot absolutely demonstrates that.
"Please don't take it away from me" is second only to "eat your exotic sandwich" on the list of Taskmaster lines that make me cackle like an idiot every time I hear them.
I know this is the popular clip but this sums up Taskmaster perfectly. The quirky tasks, the quick thinking or failing terribly, Alex bring Alex, huge triumph followed by an in studio revelation and Greg being the great Taskmaster he is, while his fellow contestants decide his fate before getting disqualified. There's a reason this clip went viral, because you just can't script natural greatness!
"that's a really impassioned and eloquent argument but it make me more inclined to take it off of you" has been a near daily entry to my vocabulary as a manager since this video was uploaded
i just love how they let him celebrate, cheer, bask in the glory, enjoy the cheers, and only then crush his soul, spirit, and dreams, so damn glorious.
Justice for Joe. It's one of those rare moments on tele when you just can't not feel bad for the guy. Breaks my heart every time I see the replay. I just end the clip when Joe nails the shot and celebrates :D
I think they should have had him throw it again. If he gets it, 5 points, if he doesn't get it, no points. But not giving it to him when he just went for it when everyone else mucked around... he was the most ballsy. He deserves it.
Watch this clip of Joe getting a potato into the cup of a golf course. Ooh, a cup? Well la-di-da Mr Frenchman. Then what do you call it, Moe? A golf hole.
IDK I need to see another angle. Rules said "touch" they didn't say anything about part of a person extending beyond the red perimeter which would happen if someone leans their arm over to get an easier toss without actually touching the red. The part of the shoe which looks to be touching could have just barely been the part of the shoe which angles upward, meaning it broke the perimeter but may not have actually made contact.
That video was no definitive proof that he stepped on the red. For all we know that centimeter could've been the curved lip of his shoe above the red and there's no rule against that
Did they take into consideration that the front tip of move shoes does not make contact with the ground? Maybe his shoe just hovered above the red green
It's so crushing to think that Joe was looking forward to this moment for weeks or even months between throwing the potato and the filming of the show
Oh man you're right, damn that makes it even worse! Although at least he spent those months basking in the glory of that potato shot before the DQ.

He thought he had a very cool moment, but what he actually got was...the best moment in the show's history. I'd write that down as a win.
It's the fact they let him celebrate and enjoy the moment before taking it away 😆
Yes, and adding on top of that how much he struggled with some of the other tasks, but every time he could think, “Just wait. You’re going to see me finally redeem myself.”
I love this clip. Doc Brown kills me at the end “That’s harsh”.
What's even better is you know Joe went home, watched the broadcast and knew Doc stabbed him in the back in front of everyone.
I can't believe they cut "We fought for you, mate."

They can deny Joe the points, but no one can deny that throw.

That will forever be the single greatest throw in Taskmaster.
Alex has such a shit-eating grin building up to that replay, he knew what was coming and i could feel his secret glee through the screen
Before the show Greg even told Joe that they are going to shit on someone’s parade in their episode. It was only after Joe realised who he meant.
Greg and Alex's reactions to "Please don't take it away from me" is killing me 🤣🤣

Last time I was this on edge was during the great Carrot in a box incident of ‘19
as nerve wracking as the carrot in a box rematch
Truly epic.
Indeed. Rip Sean Lock
I’m writing a strongly worded letter. Joe deserved to win that one.
He lost the points, but in doing so became a legend

5:26 "That is harsh."
Thank you, king.

yeah one wonders. It‘s a cultural desert where I live.
@@tauhid610 no, you still watch Adam Sandler movies, there is no we in this situation
That was like seeing a puppy Golden Retriever get shot.
The death stare that Joe gives in the last second is the perfect ending.
His shoe is curved up a little bit at the tip. There’s a chance that he could’ve been above the red without touching
I don’t think people appreciate “that is harsh” enough
Justice for Joe. It's one of those rare moments on tele when you just can't not feel bad for the guy. Breaks my heart every time I see the replay. I just end the clip when Joe nails the shot and celebrates :D
The moment that made Taskmaster known to the world.
2:58 The most heartbreaking moment in TV history
This moment here just sums up how good taskmaster is XD
“Please don’t take it away from me” is the saddest expression I’ve ever heard
He should have gotten the points. The front of his shoes curl up a bit, so his shoe probably didn't touch the carpet.
The two of them (dont know their names) resisting the pressure to give Joe the point is beautiful.
Thanks for the laugh Joe!
Professional sports wish they were this exciting. Nevermind the points. Joe, you are and will always be a legend.
The worst part is he wasnt even youching it. His toe hivered over it, lifted up bybthe rest of his foot
What a rollercoaster of emotions.
I've seen this 100 times. It breaks my heart every single one.
“I didn’t touch it I stepped on it with my shoe”
I think they should have had him throw it again. If he gets it, 5 points, if he doesn't get it, no points. But not giving it to him when he just went for it when everyone else mucked around... he was the most ballsy. He deserves it.
The greatest moment in all of TV history! Poor Joe
Another legendary Joe moment!
The saddest moment in the history of TV
I swear if you look at 0:40 his shoe isn't actually touching
It may not be 'touching' but it's over the line
@@Twocrudedudes Doesn't matter.
@@Twocrudedudes The rule was you can't touch the red, not be over it... perhaps he deserves a few more camera angles
@@Twocrudedudes Technically his arm was over the line. The ball of his foot wasn't on the red. He gained no leverage advantage.

Greg turns into Gilbert when he's telling Richard that his plea makes him more inclined to shatter Joe's dreams.
2:28 What bothers me is that the tip of his shoe isn't flat on the ground, so technically he wasn't even touching it
The Greatest moment in TV history
At least until series 11
I'm crying now
I still love that this is the first video that comes up if you search for potato gate
😂 Are there any other contenders?

Watch this clip of Joe getting a potato into the cup of a golf course.
Ooh, a cup? Well la-di-da Mr Frenchman.
Then what do you call it, Moe?
A golf hole.
Unlucky with potatoes, unlucky with carrots, I fear for his safety if they ever come up with something that uses watermelons.

The part of the shoe which looks to be touching could have just barely been the part of the shoe which angles upward, meaning it broke the perimeter but may not have actually made contact.
And the fact that it went this way means it lives on even all the stronger, more indelibly in our minds, thru tm history🎉😢😮😊
This is right up there with gerybaboona or sutin. If there is higher praise than that, I don't know what it is.
Your just saying that because Joe Wilkinson is the only peopl of planet made from Gods sperm!
Legend has it Joe Wilkinson is still in therapy asking his therapist "why did he take it away from me?...." while in the fetal position 😢
I would argue that the toes of a shoe typically curve upwards so he probably never even made contact!
The funniest thing ive seen this year
This is one of the best moments in taskmaster history
He didn’t touch the red green, his shoe did!
Yep
I thought the catch would be that he stomped trough the RED doormat from where he picked the potato up....
I'm ngl, if anyone was to do this task that way, it would be Joe Wilkinson 😂
1:31 , the way he looks around, taking in the moment, like just won the world cup.
Some random dude throws a potato into a hole and then talks to Mr Gilbert.
It's got everything.
That video was no definitive proof that he stepped on the red. For all we know that centimeter could've been the curved lip of his shoe above the red and there's no rule against that
VAR is taking the fun out of not only sport, but even simple games now.
Only because of the bizzare way soccer implemented it
No, VAR would pass this off as OK.
Shoes dont count as touching. They could all just walk up.
I've said it before I'll say it again, VAR has ruined potato in the hole.
This was like watching the trial of Louis XVI.
The saddest moment ever in Taskmaster history
Strong Villain where it all began plot line
He looks great!!! ❤ Joe W!!!
Wondered what they were talking about on rhlstp. I'm broken 😢
This whole thing is beuatiful television
It looks like the toes of his shoe point upwards slightly. I reckon there’s a good chance he didn’t even touch the green.
Did they take into consideration that the front tip of move shoes does not make contact with the ground? Maybe his shoe just hovered above the red green
That's harsh, that's harsh.
the random bolded letters in the thumbnail physically hurt me
*eisoof*
MY personal headcanon is that the vote was in joe's favor
1:46 That's one of the ditziest laughs I have ever see
If you actually watch it back the part of his foot that was over the red green wasn't even touching the floor so it makes it even worse
Remember that at the beginning of the episode, he wagered his marriage certificate
Safe to say Joe hates VAR 😂
