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
Ok. But in defense of the rock disguise:
She remains the only one whose identity I would not be able to pick out of a line-up.
I love how when Ed and David were the first ones to be shown they both knew it wasn't a good thing.
hey, david got five points
I think it was because of Ed because David won. That, and instead of saving the winner for last, they saved the funniest/flashiest.
Ed just assumed being grouped with David was a bad sign.
It did take me a minute or season to figure out that the last person(s) to be shown would either be hysterical or shit the bed, and I wait for it🖤
I feel like in task master, about 50% of the time, if you're the first or the last one shows, its because you did something genius or because you did something crazy (especially if you're by yourself)
Jo disgusing in plain sight as an absolute lunatic was probably the peak of this task for me. The first time I saw it I actually laughed until I cried
And even if it didn't work, she got lots of candy.
No you didn't
Just noticed that the company on the van is called "S P O'Nage Plumbing", haha.
I'm reminded of Blendin Pet Grooming from Arrested Development.
Petition to have Alex Horne playing Q in the next Bond film
Petition to have Greg play M
Does Q stand for Qrs
"Now pay attention, 007. Your task is to move this pile of toilet paper to hungary. You have 30 h."
Thats a good shout but there are a whole host of british comedians I'd love in that role. I would also like to see james acaster do it for one
Alex Horne, Little Alex Horne.
The "moving stone" technique have me dying every time.
Disappointed the newspaper text is just lorem ipsum. Just imagine all the ridiculous stuff they could have hidden there.
Well it talks about Alex Hornes new look and Joe Wilkinson potato woes.
@@freighter1097 I meant the body text, not the headlines. But I hadn’t noticed the “potat-woe” pun before. 🤣
The exchange about Ed's attempt always has me dying
- Spy Ed. You got hold of a decoy.
- ~decoy.
- You sent him to interact with Alex 👉.
* Alex's face changes *
- So far so good. At that point you then~ *thundered* across an open field.
* Alex begins laughing *
- Like a giant primary school child. Ducking~ _PrEsUmAbLy BeHiNd ThE sKy_
* David dies *
the image of Rose's legs sticking out of a rock is an all time favorite of mine.
It's not saying much, but this is probably David's finest moment on the show.
The Talksport line made me chuckle.
Love how during Rose’s VT you can hear Ed cracking up 😂
Perhaps not a coincidence that the two highest placed contestants are the two who can remember the actual Cold War era.
"You must not be seen or heard communicating with Alex in any way"
"I've panicked and opened a lemon" will not leave my head now lmao
The exact second Rose appeared as a rock, I fell in love with her. Such fun!
For a moment I always think Alex runs away from the rock out of fearing the rock rather than reading the prompt
The subtitles sassing David at the beginning were great.
Rose is clearly auditioning for the revival of Get Smart
Rose is New Zealand's Solid Snake
My brain went to something that sounded spy-codeword-like, yet also somewhat normal and complete in 5 words: "Tell your mother You're sad".
I'd like to get a van and group up with David. We could be men with ven.
You got a van, that's like an MBA
David did the most direct talking to Alex.
Everyone else: b-movie spy tropes
Rose: "CAN YA SMELLLLLLL"
well the stone was pretty close to being a Metal Gear reference.... and in fact there is a study about AI failing at realizing that is a person.... so fairly spy like!
The way I would have done it: Sit next to Alex while pretending to talk to someone on my phone, every so often I'd shout a word much louder than the other words, those would be the five words in my instruction.
Ooh, that's good.
... Deadass had the same idea, except I would play the exasperated/fed up worker on the phone to the boss, proclaiming that I'd given a new worker a very simple task that could be summed into five simple words, and vented the whole while.
You know, sometimes when I see these tasks, I feel like I had a stroke or something. I genuinely don't recall this task from series 9. I watched all (I thought) of the series.
It’s definitely in there, don’t remember the episode.
@@brendanberry7403 Episode 9
.
(It was the episode David won, so it somewhat explains why he won this task)
I just noticed the S P O'Nage Plumbing. That's clever.
One of my favorites.
"you must not be seen or heard communicating with Alex in any way". Meanwhile 2 people did and weren't disqualified, one even won 5 points.
best option here is to write down "lie, say I did perfectly"
On the list at 0:14 note that “dress self” comes after both “shower Greg” and “dress Greg” 😂
At least give the correct timestamp 0:12
The zoomed in one is at like 14.5 seconds, changed from 15 to 14 as you’re right that putting 15 takes you a few frames too far
"Not a good sign."
"No."
For some reason the line at 8:45 always pops into my head at random moments.
This task was surprisingly open-ended. Personally I would have liked a little more specificity, like whether you are hiding from a direction, or they know what you look like, or they're suspicious of Alex. Or like Greg decided, only obscure the message. But admittedly that's just me preferring a challenge setting and not necessarily the best set up for comedy.
Ah yes, one of only two filmed tasks that David won (the other being the Mount Rushmore one). And even then he arguably should have been disqualified for visibly and audibly communicating with Alex, but... the ol' Baddiel pity point(s)
“You must not be seen or heard communicating with Alex in any way.” ===> The one who did so the most was given five points.
Badly-worded task then, because clearly the spirit intended was that it was the message which must not be seen or heard communicated.
@@fredh1720 No, clearly it was not that. Greg is just a sloppy judge and decided that seeing and hearing them communicate in disguise didn’t count. But he didn’t even apply that properly as he himself pointed out that David’s voice was not in any way disguised.
‘You’ must not be seen. David wasn’t seen communicating with Alex. He got an inconspicuous van man to do it!
I don't think putting your message on the back of your vehicle is very sneaky at all.
eye spy a silly task
Jo Brand just brings me so much joy
My instruction would be "Convince Greg I should win" or "edit me to be stealthiest." Then I would just walk right up and hand it to him, no need for secrecy when Alex's task is to help me win lol
I never noticed the S P O’Nage on the van before
How do they come up with these tasks? This one is one of the best 😂
I would have done the old briefcase drop off trick.
"Give Random Dude 1000 Points"
Ah with the secret phone number on the van 😂
Ed’s psychotic little head shake with his eyes like 👁️👁️ at 11:14 always worries me
I've read a lot of books by Alistair McLean and Andy McNab, and have concluded that if anybody ever hires me as a spy, the mission will fail spectacularly
Ed picks up a walky-talky holds it like a telephone and says "hello" XD
I‘m just glad there were some tasks Ed didn‘t win.
love the company name on the van....did anyone else see it?
😎
They could have gotten one point each just as well...
Ed Gamble?? How old is this clip?
How does David get five points when he should have been disqualified for communication? Always annoyed when they don't follow their own rules. :-\
🤣😂🤣😂🤣
There was a moment when David sounded just like John Oliver and I realized John Oliver would be a great contestant
I ship me and rose.
I don't think David deserved the 5 points, you could read what Alex had to do from very far away 😅 The acting was bad and it wasn't funny either... Jo's was definitely the best attempt, the newspaper the second one
