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.
Ardal: Are you herring?
Fred: No.
Ardal: (genuine disappointment and confusion) Oh.
He meant: do you eat herring? Eat = äter
I think that Ardal pronounced it just a little wrong.
@@Mick89. Good to know! It was funnier the way it came off though, with Ardal asking if Fred was a fish and then getting a bit sad that the answer was no.
I actually assumed he was trying to ask "do you have herring?" but didn't know the word "have".
I think I will start asking people if they are herring. Loved it. Overall he actually did a stellar job with Swedish and I can't believe he remembered a fairly complicated song like that. Pretty impressive.
@@johanlevin3746 it's the perfect question to ask the new Champion of Champions.
I love how Ardal just decided to roll play the entire task as a drunk man called Sven.
and Sophie role played it as a pregnant woman, but no one understood
Kinda the folks that would get of the tax-free boats between Finland and Sverige
@@chelseawildflowerloftinwey1945 Fred congratulated her.
@@tpilot_error404 Or the drunks who used to ride back and forth on the Malmo-Elsingor ferry before the brdige was built ...
His Swedish is excellent 👍🏻
In the Swedish version of Taskmaster, there's a man from Iceland instead. Those segments are absolutely hilarious 😁
Hah yeah, the icelandic fireman and the Karategubben (that never speaks the truth) are the best! 😅
Oooh, and that's one of the hardest languages to learn in the world! I actually have a degree in Linguistics. 😂
oh yeah, i remember that!
They say we are the best😂
Could understand at least about 70% of what Ardal said. Impressive, having to come up with that in fifteen minutes. Must have had more experience than just holding up a table tennis racket in Sweden.
Getting tourists to gather around you can provide helpful apparently.
I understand every thing but that could be because im swedish.
I love that there are subtitles during Ardal and Sophie’s attempts, but none during Bridget’s attempt when she clearly has no idea what anyone else is saying
Thats cheating, the Irish know drinking songs in any language.
They come with them pre-downloaded.
@@heatherwhited5735 Now I'm imagining The Matrix, but it's Ardal and instead of downloaded Kung Fu it's various drinking songs.
I vote for the next universal language to be drinking songs
Also remarkable that Ardal think of "drinking songs" as "folk music".
@@rickardelimaaWell, folks be drinking.
This is hilarious to watch as a native Swedish speaker, but I'm also impressed by their ability to learn and memorise so many phrases and words!
Alla talar svenska . Skånska skulle imponera mig.
Not native swede here.
It makes sense that trained actors would be good at memorizing lines, even if the lines are in another language!
@@tpilot_error404 Skånska is a really complicated dialect. I heard many native english ppl that lived in Sweden for years not get even close. I would struggle as well as a native swede.
@@johanlevin3746 kolla upp "Sagan om ringen parodi på skånska"
It's not complicated, just hilariously beautifully different. Native English speakers don't learn swedish due to swedish people switching to English when conversating. I was able to distinguish hammarby /söder dialect ( with the weird "yes" sound kinda like sucking in air) of sthlm and typ vasastan.
@@johanlevin3746 As another native Swede, Skånska is one of the few other swedish dialects I can do
Sven Johanssons Swedish is insanely good for a quick learn. Many persons who’s been in Sweden for years aren’t much better at Swedish.
As a Swede, I am inclined to agree.
To be fair, we do take a much bigger issue with pronunciation than Americans and and Brits do. None of us Swedes speak English without an accent, even though we are generally fluent, yet we only get praised for being so good. I wish we could be the same towards those learning Swedish and focus less on pronunciation and more on vocabulary. It makes no sense we should praise people how only sound better but only knows a few words, and can't even construct "do you like herring?" or "do you eat herring?" but rather asks "are you herring?" over a person with an accent but can actually talk about a variety of subjects. I find we are more shallow in that sense.
Actually, shallow and unfair, since we do not put the same pressure on ourselves to have perfect pronunciation in other languages. ..
I was so happy to see the return of Fred. I hope he's back in the next series too.
I love Fred with all my heart. I didn't realize how much I missed him until I heard the task was to learn swedish, and my heart swelled with hope.
The glorious return of Fred the Swede!
Just need Joe the Potato and Abbie the Carrot and we can get the band back together!
@@CrashSable Is the first one a nod to Potatogate?
I love him so much
I am still laughing about the fact that Ardal didn't want to give his real name
Maybe it sounds like a word in Swedish. 🤷🏽♀️
@@travelwell6049 it doesn’t:)
@@travelwell6049 Apparently he's named after the Norwegian village Årdal. Unless that was a joke.
@@kajsa634 maybe Arendal?
@@kajsa634 Sven Johansson is a very swedish name
Fred really should be designated as Taskmaster's Assistant's Assistant sitting next to Alex
If they ever make another Muppets movie, I nominate Ardal for Swedish Chef.
Sounded a lot more like Danish or Norwegian
@@gamerman782 As a danish guy, it sounds nothing like danish.
I nearly fell off my chair laughing at Ardal's drinking song and Fred's reaction to it.
I didn't know that I needed to see Father Dougal speaking swedish...
That song was flawless!
In addition to everything else, I love the visual style of the show, eg. shots like 00:39. Props to the editors, & the sound people too, some musical montages are extremely effective and clever.
What are we looking at / through.
@@travelwell6049 Nothing. The shot is a regular one, the caravan reflected in a puddle, but but they've turned it 180º. It's little details like these.
@@deapecunia oh I see. I couldn’t understand why the sky was rippling. We actually see it the right way round just before this. I don’t know but I think Alex’s band do a lot of the music.
Fred the Swede!!!!
Ardal sounded pretty convincing!
Speaking as a Finn, he sounds more like a Dane or Norwegian.
@@anttibjorklund1869 And the last one sounded like a Finn pretending to speak Swedish.
His pronunciation/accent was really funny, but it's impressive that he memorised the drinking song. The accent sounded a little like he was drunk, so maybe he learned the drunk-sounding Swedish in the pub, and tried to copy that accent when he speaks 😂 when I was learning Swedish, I had to listen to a lot of radio to get better at pronunciation, especially to learn which words have emphasis on the last syllable, people don't seem to realise it's actually a semi tonal language.
@@MsAnpassad We don't really learn rikssvenska, we learn finlandssvenka, which differs in some pronunciations
Bridget is basically when you have Katherine Ryan levels of clever loopholes, but Mark Watson levels of incompetence to completely undo the genius of your solution.
Well, at least she came second place.
her brother speaks Swedish - why the hell didn't she get him to directly translate?! use him as an interpreter! COME ON BRIDGET!
I thought for a minute that this was a spoiler for the series and my blood ran cold
Here for Ardal's Swedish song 🤣
I was so excited to see Fred again! And the task was hilarious! Love this series.
Everything with Fred is hilarious to watch as a Swedish person lol
As a swede, my favourite bit from this segment is not in this clip. It's Greg saying to Judi: "I thought 'good moron' was a terrible mistake, but in fact it was correct." 😆
I absolutely loved Ardal's attempt, I could see the arc of his character as drunk Sven lol
Love the "Fred, Fred, Fred, Fred..." from Ardal.
I loved this task! So nice to see Fred back as well
I love the drinking story. I had a near exact experience. Only it was Germany, and they were BMW workers.
Ardal singing is my personal favorite Taskmaster moment. Even after the 10th time it's still funny as hell. second is when Ed Gamble looks at the picture who david baddiel drew in the live task. hahahaha
Fred has the be the most beloved Swede on the internet. I can’t think of another one.
Judy and Chris's attempts were so bad that they didn't even make the cut in this clip
Ardal's Swedish is absolutely brilliant, I'm seriously impressed.
Ardal actually had a good accent, even though he sounded like my stepfather after a night of drinking.
Yes yes yes !! Fred the Swede is absolutely brilliant, thank you for bringing him back !!!! :) ♥️♥️🔥
Wow, extra funny to watch as a Swede :)
Were the english subtitles accurate?
@@aenamabag another swede here; very accurate!
@@Iwdfpjackszon Cool. Was Ardle's song actually a known swedish drinking song?
@@aenamabag The song yes, but not with those lyrics. It's called "kiss i sängen". It is however common to take known melodies and re-write them to drinking songs 😂
@@rasmuseriksson8795 That's great. So he must have been there at some point and actually learned this as a drinking song.
As a swede I am laughing my ass off, this is hilarious!
I'm a simple man. I see Fred the Swede, I click.
Can't believe it is already ending the series/season. And it is so close too.
I don't think I've ever been more excited about a Taskmaster headline than this one
I kind of love Ardal...
I never thought I'd learn a Swedish drinking song from an Irishman.
Having said that...
So many words change meaning in Swedish when heard with Dutch ears.
"Gammle" is swedish, meaning old, but for us it means "gammel" or rickety, which kind of works in most cases. This happens a LOT.
It reminds me of a story about a type of French window that is now called a "wasizdaz" because a German soldier in WOII pointed to it and said: "was ist das?" (Which means what is that?)
I imagine loads of those kind of things happening to pillaging vikings, who got so frustrated they eventually just left.
On a lighter note: I hate that I have to miss Taskmaster season 13, just because I live in a different country. First you refused to learn our languages and now that we have all learned yours, you punish us for not being in your country. Do you see where this will lead?
Britain is going to get crowded if you keep making the best TV program ever and hogging it.
According to wiktionary "vasistas" has been a name in French and Turkish for a transom window since the mid 18th century
still crushing on Fred 😩💛
Me too, Zainab, me too
Nobody:
Ardal: My name is Sven. Sven Johansson.
Fred, Fred, Fred, Fred
I loved Alex alluding to the great ‘Bäst i Test’ in the intro.
I only just found out about Taskmaster tonight thanks to Good Mythical Morning and after watching one random clip of Taskmaster on youtube and liking, I’ve watched a few tonight now! Been a while since watched Ardal! Enjoyed watching him since My Hero! 😂😊😊
Yay, our favorite Swede returns! Tack, Fred!
Tack, You said tak, thats Roof =)
@@TzOn79 Oops, sorry! Fixed.
More Fred the Swede. At least once in a series helping out in a task, math teacher, working on a vehicle. Translating skills.
I love Ardal in this
I’m studying Swedish now, I’m preparation for the opportunity to do the Taskmaster’s bidding.
Please bring us the full season! We would watch it many times!
Fred the swede is back!! Ardal was amazing lol
Being Swedish, this was the greatest one yet, hearing their....uhm...great...pronounciations made my day.
No joke though, some were genuinely good for what time they had to learn it
Misread that at first as "yet, herring their" which I thought was a great pun
@@williamqin5051 oh man, missed oppurtunity
Sven, is an old Swedish male name with the meaning "young man, youth, boy". It is sometimes included in Swedish rune stones, which we have over 4,000 of.
Also found in English as "swain" in centuries past, but today only as part of "coxswain" (pronounced "koksun") and "boatswain" (pronounced "bosun").
And his last name is Norse as well
0:38 Melted my head, 'till i realised what was happening. :)
Fred my beloved
Hahaha I love it, älskar Fred!
I’m a swedish person🇸🇪🇸🇪
Too short!
"Are you herring?", haha wth?
Jimmy's choice to bring up the prime minister is interesting. I would sooner talk about the angry notes shared at the laundry room.
For those wanting to know, Löfven isn't the prime minister anymore.
Until they started saying "prime minister", I thought they were asking about Loreen.
The questions weren’t for you so it isn’t relevant what you would sooner talk about.
@@icturner23 my comment wasn't meant for you, so your opinion isn't relevant.
Being Norwegian this is hilarious. It would probably be even funnier if they tried to speak Danish, then the winner would be the one that sounded the most gibberish. Trying to do it in the right way they should try to speak whilst having a potato in their mouth
Taskmaster should do a redemption series with the last placers
As a Swede I laughed so hard to Ardal’s song 😂😂😂
ardal should have won for singing in swedish
He did.
And yesterday should have come before today and Mike Wozniak should have told the vole he or she had no chutzpah.
I love Fred the Swede!
We love Fred!
omg I swear I was just watching the other Fred The Swede videos and now this video is here
and now I wish I could join
we stan fred
Sounds like he sings: _Och skita ner sig_ , which can be translated to: _And shit your pants_ 😄
Fred! It's Fred guys! 🎉🎉🎉
I love Fred!
Ardal had a hilarious and odd song lmao (whether you know Swedish or not)
Never heard it before
Very hard to understand - but impressive enough for such a short time and short note taking
Fantastiskt!
As a swede this is extreamly funny!!😂🇸🇪🙏🏼
I’m Swedish and I have never heard that drinking song! 😂😂😂
Next try Icelandic! Much harder than Swedish, but just as closely related to English.
I was so happy to see Fred back!
Did Ardal sing “…och skita ner sig…”? That means “to shit one self”
Took me a minute to realize that's the actor from Father Ted
Ardal looks like and sounds like some foreign con-man trying to set you up with an amazing investment opportunity when he's trying to speak Swedish
Ardal was so fun to watch as a swede! He also sounded a bit danish and also austrian.
On another note, I don't think it's that fun when people start calling friends on their phone to help translate,
removes a bit of the charm of it all, other than that, a nice watch!
FINALLY!!
FRED!
I don't understand why none of them thought to take the Swede into the caravan!
as a Swedish person, this is hilarious!
If only they’d watched Young Royals
Idioter 🤣
Love this show btw
Love that Fred is back.
The most important question. IS FRED SINGLE???
I dunno why people insist on adding a phoney accent when trying to speak the Scandinavian languages, we hardly ever sound like that at all.
Ardal sounds just like a finn speaking swedish lol
They did it very well! The first woman's pronounciation was good.
På riktigt , vad har hänt med stadsministern? Sedan vi Corona fick jag flytta .
Does anyone know the name of the drinking song
Sorry, Bridget was quite rubbish. The other two were great, especially Sven 😃
Well, it's Bridget. Not sure what you expected!
She did what anyone would realistically do, and she wasn’t boring about it, so it was fine.
😅👍🏻 well done
Which episode was this? I don't remember this.
series 13, episode 8
What episode?
Wow, that didn’t sound good haha😂
They sound more Norwegian than swedish 😃
