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
The next one has to be "winners never quit" - featuring Mike Wozniak running after his balloon, Ed Gamble redoing the final episode task, Josh Widdicombe dutifully counting beans, etc.
And Mike trying for so long to fart and prolapsing lol
Basically Mike doing anything! He was the gold standard of 'Committed To The Task' 😂
@@michaelcolbourn6719 truly a TM legend, risking long term bodily discomfort AND shaving off his hair for a gold plated head.
@@Saltywinterchild Maybe there should be a place for James Acaster gamefully continuing to build his extension after Rhod, and then Phil abandon him! 😂
Josh Widdicombe counting beans is, by far, one of the funniest bits.
"I'm not winning this so I'm going to enjoy it."
Joe didn't quit, he tactically lost.
Not only that, he didn't even come _last,_ so that was a victory in his books.
@@Meteorite_Shower That’s the best part. I always loved it when a contestant who performed unimaginably poorly gets saved by a DQ.
@@user-fp3yc9hm6m Ramesh getting seconds after literally just putting his egg on a stack of paper
What was all that on the plate? Looks like he scrambled it on toast, salami with..ketchup? No idea what the other bit is. But yeah..if he's gonna lose anyways, have a nice meal on the producers.
@@jimwormmaster
Yeah, that's pretty much it, plus a bunch of party-sized sausage rolls, I think? A pretty decent-looking meal, all in all.
I like how nobody is even particularly surprised that Nish didn't think to pick up the coconut; by the finale episode everyone is just like "Yeah of course Nish fucked it up in the most unbelievable way imaginable."
That one task perfectly summed up Nish's entire series!! 😂
I love how he is the exact opposite of Mike Wozniak (jumping over the fence to get the balloon), yet they both seemed to have a lovely time on the show!
At no point did he even think he could've just picked up the coconut again, you can see how shocked he is when they tell him!
@@turdferguson7264 He is one of my favorite contestants just because of how he loses his shit and starts laughing hysterically all the time
@@VNdoug Yes, definitely a favourite of mine too. My favourite contestants are always the ones who embrace the absurdity of the show. Nish, Mike, James, Romesh, Bob, Sally, Al, Charlotte, Liza, to name a few.
Sometimes I’m surprised the contestants give up so easily, but far more often I’m surprised at how willing they are to keep going at something they’re obviously terrible at and have no chance of completing in any reasonable amount of time. I just love how dedicated they (almost always) are to this amazingly absurd show!
Well, they are entertainers by profession. They know we'll enjoy watching them even when they're failing.
They usually only quit when they know they're screwed and there's absolutely no way of making it interesting without playing the fool.
However, some contestants absolutely bask in both their victories and failures. Sometimes you utterly fail to ge a cat out of tree, sometimes you disguise yourself as a banana.
The season is not shot in order plus they film several tasks a day so I imagine they are enthusiastic at first but they start losing hope towards the end of the filming.
I feel like the absolute pinnacle of glorious failures was the "get the egg in the frying pan" task in season 10, just absolute madness
@@sslizard it was incredible, I will never understand what a person’s mental state will have to be like for them to get to the point where they think filling an egg with helium is a good idea but I loved every second of it
Joe Wilkinson is the dictionary definition of 'Less Is More'. His breakfast was a series highlight!
I only wish he'd brought a chair
"Took a hit on that one, mate. Took a hit on it."
Especially juxtaposed with Katherine's, "one of those disgusting boys will have eaten it already!"
"Standard stuff."
@@Ididntevnknow778 Especially when the "disgusting boy" in question turned out to be Osman, who was the oldest contestant and widely regarded as very sophisticated and intelligent 😆
One of the best moments, Nish's realisation that he could have done better but didn't think about it until Alex mentioned.
E
Can we have a compilation of those people who take forever but are the only ones to finish?
David Correos
Ed Gamble too.
Nish coconut was the best. The dramatic build up and then the CLONK. "Couldve thrown it again - back inside"
Iain's 'fuck it, let's do that as well' is just... delicious
Not a fan of Iain’s tantrums in general (him and Lou Sanders, yikes!) but I agree on this one - he called it perfectly :)
Iain getting genuinely, visibly upset at his own performance on tasks is still some of the best telly broadcast.
not to mention repeatedly apologizing to the others out of shame for his actions
He had a better season arc than any scripted show I have seen
Honestly, the man learned a hard lesson about himself on TV
@@scz1770 honestly? Who asked you to lie?
@@swanningabout Anything else you want to nitpick about on the internet about the way a person talks that might bug you, or do you want to grow up and acknowledge linguistic idiosyncrasies?
I mean honestly though….you’re given a free pass to a fully stocked kitchen and don’t have to pay for the food or probably do the clean up. Joe’s reaction is probably the best move ever. One question though. Ketchup on what looks like actual fine salami. Why?!
Let alone that he didnt really quit. In fact, he was placed 4th. That's 100% a win in my book.
As for your question, I mean, why have tomato sauce on a salami pizza? It's extra flavor. My bigger question is if he actually ended up finishing the plate or not.
@@Predated2 you just compared a salami pizza to salami with ketchup drizzled on it.... what
@@biggrocc19 so? Their contents are quite similar.
@@Predated2 No they aren't. Pizza sauce should contain tomatoes and maybe basil if it's made right. Ketchup is loaded with sugar and other seasonings. I'm pretty sure that ketchup had more sugar than a bowl of cocoa puffs.
Have you ever tried it? It’s the best 😋!!
"please don't take it away from me" is the most harrowing thing I've seen for ages 🤣😭
Richard Osman also completely gave up on rescuing Patatas from the tree, despite being the tallest contestant (and after Katherine Ryan had suggested he could just basically reach up, LOL).
I just love that the cat was fucking named “Patatas”. I can’t remember so someone please tell me - was there a theme of potatoes in Series 2?
@@nommyyt - Yes, that was the year there were 2 stop motion movies, I think they were "Night of the Living Spud" and the other was James Bond themed. Also, that was the year Joe Wilkinson threw the potato from the edge of the red green into a golf hole on his very first attempt, but it was taken away from him during the audience reveal of the task because it appeared he had a toe on the red green.
Other cast members that year were Katherine Ryan, John Richardson, Richard Osman and Doc Brown.
The guy had poor eyesight and tried for 45 minutes
@@reelkonversationswithryank4945 oh my god how could I forget potato gate???? My only excuse is I had just woken up and my brain wasn't working properly.
Thanks for the rundown!
I like how they showed joe making a full meal out of his egg and just not trying to be fast, whereas Katherine was the one who literally quit on that same task lol
This could just be literally every task Jo Brand ever did
She gave us nothing the whole season 😂
@@SvobodovaEva - And still came in 4th place, ahead of David B.
She and David were a hilarious team. He'd forget that there's a time limit. She'd remember but just not care.
@@notme222 They were definitely like 'Ah, fuck it' we've been in comedy for 30 years, let the young ones sweat it out! 😂
@@notme222 The time when they made a cup of tea to go with the sandwich they'd made in the scavenger hunt task XD
I'm terrible with names so forgive me, but I think it's funny that they included the one guy who made a full meal for the egg task but not the girl who actually didn't even eat the egg and just quit.
"those rotten pistachios you call teeth" is such a brilliant insult
"You may not touch the sand. You may not move the buckets. You may not leave the room"
Well, guess this is my checklist now
Greg really comes out with the solid questions on Tim Key: "What were you hoping was going to come out of the whole excuse note thing?"
Honestly such a good question- the excuse note was such a poorly thought out plan on a cursory inspection lmao
Greg used to be a teacher; I'm sure he's dealt with quite a few "excuse" notes in his day XD
Key's shithousery throughout the series is so good.
@@daninagy4173 Given that the whole idea for TM came out of an ‘awards' scheme Alex came up with after losing some (Edinburgh Fringe?) trophy to Key, I wouldn’t be surprised if Key is just trolling for revenge. After all, Alex got the bigger ‘prize’ in the end - a TV series!
Nish‘s coconut gets me every time, the comedic timing is way to good
Iain with the sand is legendary.
That was glorious
"Fabulous play. I was enthralled - The Guardian" - Frank Skinner
There's a reason he's a legend
I often wonder if Rhod messing with the other switch genuinely meant that Alex wasn't getting the signal any more, making it technically true.
The switch never was the signal.
Alex rotated the statue when they went back in the house.
One of them caught him halfway through but coming them outagain quikly enough.
I thought it was genius.
@@mattkennedy9308 Teh switch was the signal for him to rotate it in the first place, though. So the switch really activated Alex.
this really needed Bob making a huge mess with no intention of cleaning it up.
I think Rhod was right... The switch didn't do anything, Alex did when they went back inside. Thought they'd give him points for that.
The wording of the task is “work out what happens when you flip the switch on” not “what does this switch do”. So Rhod was wrong, because when the switch is flipped on, Alex turns Ollie.
Also he insulted Greg, so...
The next one you should do should be times Greg is used in a prize task. For example, his stolen pants from Mark Watson, Ed Gamble stealing from his house, Rhod breaking into his house, etc.
Joe Lycett's signed squash?
Yes! I've wanted Iain's sand task to be uploaded forever!
I just realized what they could have done! Use their goggles! How many years too late? Lol
Truly an underrated moment
@@strangerthanstring4431 I thought that they could rip one of the plastic sheets around the room down and use it to collect the sand, then tip the sand into the bucket.
Baddiel just having a breakdown all season!
I genuinely lost a lot of respect for Baddiel due to taskmaster. I thought he was funny and intelligent. He's either so genius that he looped back to idiot, or else he's just the least practical person on the planet. Just zero common sense.
But I think this was the only time he actually gave up on a task. He's staggeringly inept, but he always tried.
@@WeirdNeville I know this comment is a year old, but it's absolutely baffling to me that you consider failing at a gameshow any kind of indication of intelligence. Like I don't know about you, but I graduated college with a science degree and a 3.9 gpa, but I guarantee if I went on this show I would be just as incompetent and make baffling decisions because my brain shuts down when I'm timed and under pressure.
@@Peaceblank Have you actually watched the series with Baddiel? He's functionally incompetent in basic tasks.
@WeirdNeville Yes I did, and I bet you and I would be just as incompetent. Like the lasso challenge, the logic behind that makes perfect sense to me. It's difficult to throw a light rope, so you find something to give it weight, ie a spoon, the spoon kinda works so you think, another spoon to keep the lasso open. Now that's not working so switch to something easier to throw, a football. As for flipping the task with my mouth instead of my hands, I can see myself doing the exact same thing, oh my hands are busy, I'll use my mouth. The Q task, he made an unlucky choice, and instead of scrambling for something that begins with Q he tried to bullshit it, because he thought there wouldn't be anything he could find, which is very understandable if you've never seen the show before like him. There's different kinds of intelligence. Alex has even said in interviews, they find that the higher the degree a contestant has, the worse they do. It's like how if you've ever taken a psych class, you learn how IQ tests are bullshit. Also if you think he's so stupid, how do you explain his degree from Cambridge. I'm personally great at science, stick me in a foreign language class and I absolutely suck. Hell, even some science, I have always sucked at the electricity portion of any physics class. That doesn't make me stupid, and neither would someone else being bad at the things I'm good at.
I'm surprised how many contestants go with the initial setup even if it is not mentioned in the task. Like when they were given a telescope and everyone struggled to read the task through it instead of just walking to the caravan. Or here, they willingly keep their hand tied to the bucket even after reading the task which never mentioned that they need to keep the hand in the loop.
Stacking cans and naming countries was a good one, because one realised that the rope could be untied.
It's weird that they chose to put Joe Wilkinson actually no giving up with the egg eating, when Katherine Ryan did give up that task and ended up losing.
but then she won the series, so sometimes quitters do win
@@NaaimSiddiqi She didn't win that task, specifically because she quit.
@@Ertwin123 right. But she still won the series.
@@NaaimSiddiqi How is that in any way relevant to her losing that particular task? I'm sure every single other contestant shown has won other tasks in their series so they've all won before. The clips of them quitting, and thus losing, are only relevant to the task at hand.
@@Ertwin123 The saying goes "quitters NEVER win" not "quitters always lose the specific thing they quit". It's 100% relevant. Nobody featured here won their series, so there's more concrete evidence that it was intentional than that it was coincidence.
I don't care what anyone says, I loved Ian.
He was class. Natural competitiveness and he clearly loved the show
Iain had the best arc of anybody on the show! Aggressively competitive and then recognizing that he actually looks insane and becoming a less aggro person because of it.
Running themes in Taskmaster Tasks:
Of course the yellow duckies of all sizes,
Watermelon (eat as much as you can, feed your teammates, push it up a slide),
Red Greens (constantly)
Eggs (raising, dropping, throwing, golfing, eating)
Potatoes (tossing, make a movie) and the cat Potatas :)
Pineapples (the golden one and real - eat as much as you can, hide it on your body)
Peas (green peas and chick peas)
Coconuts (lots in every series)
and now... Breadsticks (twice in series 9)
Obviously the things that populate the house like Alex, the cow, the trailer, the bathtub, the Golden Pineapple and images of Greg. Did I miss any really obvious ones?
You forgot the task in series 7, where the two teams had to paint a drawing while one member was blindfolded. There was a small duckie, a watermelon and so on.
@@soul9735 - Yes, I mentioned duckies and watermelons.... I guess not every possible instance of their use, just a few to get the general idea. I guess painting and drawing could be another often seen theme, more of a task based rather than item based.
@@reelkonversationswithryank4945 Painting while on a horse. Painting the rainbow in the dark (Unless you turn on the light).
Fred the Swede
@@emilystewart4521 - Yes, of course... how could I forget?! Put on a scuba suit while maintaining a skype conversation, complete the questionnaire while he can't speak English (Katherine phoned her Danish friend), make this Swede blush, etc.
Im annoyed by the wording of the video and the fact that Joe Wilkinson didn't give up on the eat an egg task- Katherine Ryan actually gave up fully. Joe ate the egg.
i think with that instance the wording should be taken literally, Joe didn't quit and so despite taking so long he still placed 4th; also, Taskmaster is infamous, notorious, well-known, and looked at askance for its' perplexing or cryptic wording; the fact it backfires on them sometimes when contestants find valid loopholes just makes it all the better
plus didn't she win the series?
@@prenuxcalamity That doesn't matter in the context of that particular task.
Joe Wilkinson is the last person I'd expect to be amazing on this show, but his attempts and reactions are some of the best in the entire series
“There’s strength in arches.”
They should do a loveable losers series and bring back folks like Joe and Nish, for example. Love their heart.
They said they'll never do a losers series because they don't want to encourage people to lose on purpose.
@@Ertwin123 just don't have people who came in last, or at least exclusively people who came in last
Tying their arms to the buckets of sand was some low level Saw shit!!!
Especially since they could remove their arm from it at any point.
Joe didn't quit, he enjoyed
It's quite surprising this video isn't longer. It speaks to how committed almost all are to these tasks.
It's amazing no one thought to just hold the breadsticks in the middle so they didn't snap lol
Arguably, Joe had won that task. He had a lovely lunch!
For the sand one, the rules never stated you couldn't just remove your hand from the string's loop.
Joe didn't even finish last for the egg...
He didn't quit though, did he? Not giving up earned him the point
It was Katherine Ryan who assumed every male contestant was just going to gobble the egg up like an animal and she quit halfway.
Yeah, like, why didn't they show Katherine instead? She quit
@@genericname2747 well, admittedly Joe gave up on trying to win the task and he did not win it.
Katherine only quit after there was no way to finish the task other than to slobber it of the table like an egg hungry... I think the contrast with most of the other quitters was that she put in an effort to do the task and failed. Like with Iain there was no point in continuing
Sexism at its finest. They were scared of another 10 minute lecture if feminism in action as 3 exercise balls were carried to the top of a hill. Joe is an easier target, cos his whole character is the "village idiot". Katharine's character is the "strong independent woman", which makes it all the worse that ahe cried a few sympathy tears then walked out...
@@andreiandrofski9426 Bro it's an egg eating contest
Where's Roisin refusing to ride the horse or Osman quiting the "rescue the cat" task?
Roisin still did the task but she did it on a mechanical horse, so she never technically quit.
Or Bob only doing the "make a mess" half of the task.
You put the egg eating one in where Joe takes ages to eat the egg, but you left out the scene where katherine just quits and doesnt even try.
Nishs coconut made me laugh like mad, that was so unlucky 😂😂😂 And then Alex mentioning he could have tried again and he'd not realised until that point 🤦🏻♀️😂😂😂
Those breadsticks looked infuriating to work with
Joe's like might as well get a meal
Not true. Joe won my heart.
Nor did he quit, unlike a certain Katherine Ryan...
I feel like Katherine should’ve been shown for the egg as well, since she literally quit. Joe didn’t exactly quit, he just said fuck it let’s make breakfast
Yes, but Joe making a breakfast is funnier
I don't consider Nish as quitting the Task as much as not understanding the directions. He seemed to think he only had 1 try even though the Task didn't say it. That clip should have been replaced with Richard Osman's "Rescue the Cat."
I want to start a band just so I can call it Salami Crescent.
“Quitters” win our hearts
Joe just cooking himself a meal is just genius.
They need to have a show that has on people who came in last on precious seasons. It would be the funniest season by far
Unfortunately the cast list for that show would raise some awkward questions about Greg's point distribution patterns.
@@SellymeYT What do you mean?
Would love to have Charlotte Ritchie back on😂😂😂
A 'Chumpion Of Chumpions' series sounds like the best idea ever. I would watch the heck out of that! 😂
I like your IASIP pfp
Nish throwing the coconut was too freaking funny xD
3:20 Inside the house the point of contact is the floor, and the floor coverings, not the ground. Even outside, it would just be their shoes touching the ground.
"Quitters Never Win". I dunno, I reckon Joe Wilkinson was winning pretty hard with that delicious spread!
Genuinely impressed more people don't abandon some of these tasks
The Nish coconut throw was hilarious!
"Nothing happens. Unless it's something that happens somewhere else..."
Watching Joe do the egg task always makes me hungry
Yes! More joe Wilkinson
Grossest taskmaster clip is ramesh's toe
To be fair, him scoffing watermelon was pretty gross too. 😂
Nasty nails are expected of tree wizards.
@@turdferguson7264 Or putting chilli sauce in his eyes.
Yeah... And why a freaking TOE? Finger nails grow much much faster than toe nails. He could have easily grown a pinky nail or something 😂
@@masansr Ouch!!! Yes that was commitment to the task right there!!
"Taskmasters on" "wah wah wah"
The egg breakfast one didn't even come in last place. Another contestant refused to eat the egg at all.
That sand task, the letter never said they couldn't take the string back off their wrist again, Alex just put it on to force them to think that xD
Hindsight is 20/20 and all but the “you may not take the switch out of the room” only makes sense if the switch can work while disconnected
It's a huge clue for what the switch does, too.
Paul's entire strategy is to do the bare minimum and hope somebody else gets disqualified.
eat the egg: he didn't quit. he just took his time. Katherine quit
"A breadstick is a breadstick. You can't say it's only a half" ~TJ "Henry" Yoshi
4:29 Something about Alex's delivery of "-back inside." made me immediately think of Karl Pilkington. Anyone else?
Should’ve just taped the paper to their shoes and walked with the coconut 😂
Could only step on an item once.
Hence several of them using 5-10 cushions...
"Only breadsticks may touch the melon at any point", but it's already touching the slide...
Joe Wilkinson in no way lost that egg challenge. XD
Why is Joe enjoying his egg in this compilation when Katherine completely refused to eat the egg?
What about Noel giving up on pouring the wine into the bottle from the top of the ladder, and just smashing the bottle instead of even trying.
The egg eating room looks like the kind of place you'd dispose of someone with a chainsaw.
Egg eating contest? Nah, son. Free egg.
waiting on the sequel compilation “cheaters never prosper”
Funny thing is that Joe cooking his egg & eating it in style actually didn’t go bad for him. He still technically ate it and because Katherine in the same task refused to eat a raw egg & left, Joe actually got 2 points despite taking his time! I respect that ✌️
Is the light switch task on TH-cam in its entirety yet? I don't recall it being.
10:23 actually, 15 and a half. One fell into the caravan with the melon
Quitting is an illusion, winning doubly so.
Love the Cubrick impersonator
I always wonder if Ed wore a Canadian tuxedo (complete with Bolo tie) to be funny, or if he actually did it
Quickest way to cook an egg; stick it in a kettle of water and set to boil
The Moriarty one when they have dirty a room and clean it the best in a set time and hejust decides not to attempt the clean and just trash the kitchen for the entire time.
Love this show awesome x
Joe Wilkinsons breakfast made me hungry
1:50 I think every one of them just at the contents of "me," and not "me" itself.
What kind of savage puts ketchup on salami?!
The nail one didn't specify what sort of nail....
The bucket one doesn't specify which is "the" bucket.
The taskmaster youtube channel is at 695k subs with 420 videos uploaded. Nice.
8:31 "What a waste of EVERYONE'S time, yeh IDIOT" LOL
2:01 sheeesh
what is the switch thing doing in there? he nailed it.
I would have cut the wire and then said nothing happens when I flip the switch. It said you couldn't take it out of the room, but said nothing about disabling the device.
You would have cut the electrical wire? I didn't think it was necessary to tell the contestants not to kill themselves, though I suppose some might need a guiding hand... (cough * David Baddiel, Katherine Parkinson * cough)
And the wise know when to walk away!
Joe and Ian are my favorites.
Joe Wilkinson is a mood.
The coconut one is really funny
