I thought it would have been surprising to put an actual egg yolk in a chocolate egg. Who expects to crack open a chocolate egg only to see actual egg yolk?
Alice's was diabolical. But it turns out Alice is very close friends with Alex's wife and the two co-conspired on this task. Alex's wife would be a formidable contestant on Taskmaster, I think.
@@kathilisi3019 Funny thing to me was, it possessed all of the elements required for a bomb outside of the payload. (Ok, and maybe like a primer if we want to get picky.)
My thoughts too, I would have dressed up the outside to make it look tampered with to reveal nothing. Either they would love it or hate it, high risk/reward strategy.
I would have hand written a note telling Alex that he has one hour to hide a surprise in this chocolate egg for me. Then I leave the room. You're in the game now, Alex. Surprised?
The most funny part for me is when Tim said that he creates the television history, but we know that at this point he was just putting a fly inside, it wasn't even a bee 😂 he was so excited by this😂
@junbh2 for this task it actually would have been better to show the contents of the egg first and then show the planning after, makes it more surprising for the viewers that way
a fly wouldve been surprising too but only without the leaves and dirt showing it was someting from nature. that computer chip at the end deserved 4 points
I'd be terrible in this show- First thought : crack an egg into it- but everyone might do that Second thought : Volcano- put some baking soda in it- figure out a way trick him into pouring vinigar- gave up due to not figuring out how to slip in the vinigar Third thought : Crap in the egg. After that- I realised I'm not television friendly and don't work well under pressure- thus gave up thinking of ideas
About 30-35 years ago I had bought some jewelry for my wife for Christmas, but I wanted it to be special so I also bought a 3-pack of KinderEggs (which were recently introduced in Norway), then proceeded to open the bottom with a razor blade, then I unwrapped the foil from the central egg, heated the razor blade and used it to split the egg in two along the seam. I then opened the internal plastic egg, took out the toy and replaced it with the jewelry, then put it all back together. I heated the blade once more to be able to make the two chocolate halves bind together again before rewrapping the egg, replacing it in the 3-pack with its two normal brethren and used glue on the bottom. When my wife unpacked the paper wrapping she immediately understood what it was: She opened the KinderEgg box, gave one egg to each of our two kids and kept one for herself, then told them to open them, saying "if you find some jewelry, I'll swap with the toy in mine". I made one more attempt to surprise her for Christmas (a huge white teddy polar bear with a string of pearls deep within the neck fur, with an off-white cashmere scarf for extra neck cover), but that also took just 5 seconds so I decided she didn't deserve any extra packing effort. (We still have the white teddy, our grandson plays with it now.)
I'd have been most surprised if Russell took my son and me to a football game, as up until that point, I wouldn't have even known I had a son. That’s an awkward conversation to have while shouting over crude chanting.
What you're missing is freedom. Of speech. Also the freedom for people to decide if their children are smart enough to distinguish between a 3cm diameter plastic toy and chocolate.
To me the most surprising thing was Greg saying let it be so to giving the three contestants joint third. I would have expected him to accuse Alex of being weak and making them all joint fifth and telling them to blame Alex.
@@irondasgr I think it's a reference to kinder eggs (hollow chocolate eggs with a tiny toy inside) being banned in the US because they are officially considered a choking hazard.
I would either be amazing or terrible at this, because my first thought was to put a hard-boiled egg in there and I don't know if that's brilliant or idiotic.
My surprise would have been a legal letter containing a DNA Paternity Test revealing Alex to be the father of my children and demanding 18 years back pay of Maintenance money!
Imagine you bribe him with tickets to Anfield and a (probably not) vacation to spain, only to watch the lazy dude to get the same points for a mere small worm. 😂
I would put in a radioactive spider. Not one that would give him super powers, though. It would just poison him a bit and increase his chances of cancer.
Why was it also my first reaction to put something living in there? I guess that means its not very original, therefor not very suprising. So perhaps I would put in a confession of some sort. Like "I put a bit of peanut butter in Greg Davies shoes. I dont think he noticed."
As a german, I would have literally put nothing in it and see the surprised confusion. Else I would have just printed out the Monty Python Spanish inquisition and won, because nobody expects the spanish inquisition.
@carysbebard3690 I was more more referring to the clips of the tasks being done. I don't remember the laughter being used from the audience, am I just remembering it wrong?
when you open it and see nothing I am always filled with immeasurable disappointment its like seeing a water fall with no treasure behind it is simply wrong
The last Christmas before we separated, I gave my husband a Kinder Egg that I had carefully opened, taken the toy out and put a very expensive silver chain inside along with a hand-painted Christmas tag. I rewrapped it in the foil. He opened it and clearly thought it was an actual cheap Kinder toy (that had a hand-painted personally signed by me to him) and tossed it aside. I pointed out that he needed to take a second look. He seemed moderately pleased with it. He gave me a $2.99 mini book about cats… bought from the bookstore I worked at. Apparently, he gave his “girlfriend” (now wife. I didn’t know he HAD a girlfriend, BRW) a very much more expensive gift. By September we were separated. I don’t regret the separation but I really regret the time and effort I put into his gift. I also don’t regret tossing the book he gave me to show how much regard he held for me in the trash.
@@birdonline2751 it’s two different products and the law we have that prevents this version from being sold in the US long predates the creation of the kinder eggs and is a very broad law that these just happen to get caught up in.
So over here they made it a two part package, with one half of the plastic egg have the prize and the other half of the plastic egg contain a solid chocolate half egg (picture a deviled egg)… 🤷♂️
I thought it would have been surprising to put an actual egg yolk in a chocolate egg. Who expects to crack open a chocolate egg only to see actual egg yolk?
I think you're on to something there. You should sell it around Easter time in a foil wrapper.
Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition.
I had thought someone would do that but then I wondered if someone would have gotten an air horn and blasted it when he opened the eggg
@@EvilAgony1that’s what I was thinking lol

And then Greg FULLY exposing it 😭 😭 😭 🤣 nothing is sacred to the taskmaster crew

Oh, man. I would have been reading the task while eating the egg.
Roisin, is that you?
I thought the same thing. I probably would have eaten the egg then read the note, and then pikachu face.
i'm surprised no one left the egg empty that would've been quite surprising
Exactly what I thought hahah
My thought too, however you'd be risking a disqualification as part of the instruction was to put something in the egg.
My thoughts too, I would have dressed up the outside to make it look tampered with to reveal nothing. Either they would love it or hate it, high risk/reward strategy.

I dread to imagine what Rhod Gilbert would put in that egg
The picture of Greg and/something illegal. Or, like, the actual fetus of a bird…
His own feces
A tarantula
I would love to see it.
A bikini thong.
Id have put powdered sugar in there, and show up with a gas mask.

For the vinegar you'd just need to tape it to the top of the egg without it spilling in
The mini-taskmaster letter was genius, I would have done it different, and made a custom task as well.
Russels facial expression at the end says it all... the trip to spain is cancelled :D
Imagine doing all that then tying with someone who dug up a worm 😂
@@misterfahrenheit5509 exactly my thought :D:D
It was bribery and he played himself
Liza’s “I just had a coffee” zoomies are so real.
"It's only in July"
So does that mean his folks owns a time-share, or they'll only let him visit in July?
or maybe they live there year round, and only leave in July
tbf with how hot Spain gets during the summer I'd leave in July, too.
Who cares
@@numbereightyseven about your comment? You are right, no one.

@@pixazelz I hoped so, but when I didn't get any reaction those two years, I stopped trying.
How did you avoid melting the chocolate with your hands while doing it?
@@quintenfranks8024 Easy! I live in Norway where it is COLD in winter (i.e before Christmas)
Imagine being Russell Howard who at great cost - was beaten by a fly😂
I would have cut up the original prompt or blacked parts out until it just said “something surprising” and then put that in the egg.
How did Lisa manage to find and personalize that recording in one hour??? I wouldn't even know where you can get those!
Greeting card with the voice recorder built in, then you just tear the thing apart for the electronics
I'm surprised Tim didn't name his fly Stephen.
There’s a Turkish Delight joke in there somewhere.
or Phirip J Fly, though I'm uncertain on how familiar he'd be with futurama
Stephen Fly would have been hilarious. 😂😂

Open ended and inventive. Nice.
Would’ve loved it if someone put another chocolate egg in the first chocolate egg
alice knocked it out of the park!
So enjoyable. It was all just kind of darkly wholesome.
Liza's is so good, I'm glad they saved it for last.
American here who used to live abroad. I miss Kinder Eggs... I also miss this cast. One of my favorite TaskMaster series.
What you're missing is freedom. Of speech. Also the freedom for people to decide if their children are smart enough to distinguish between a 3cm diameter plastic toy and chocolate.
Why was my immediate thought that i would put in a decapitated gummy bear painted like frankenstein
because my friend you are creative and amazing
Because that would definitely be surprising.
i like your brain
To me the most surprising thing was Greg saying let it be so to giving the three contestants joint third. I would have expected him to accuse Alex of being weak and making them all joint fifth and telling them to blame Alex.
I would have written down the ending to ”The Sixth Sense”, which was indeed genuinly surprising
"Look at that egg" always gets me. Idk why an egg is funny, but it's funny :)
These contestants were wonderful. We need more good guests like these.
I would LOVE for LAH’s wife to be a contestant!! Like a friends gang with Alice, Mae and other friends of hers
All i could think about was filling it up with scrambled eggs xD
I'm surprised no one put a letter in the egg that said "Your task is..."

This task would have got banned in the States. XD
Unless you filled it with toxic food dye. Then it would be fine!

If you boil an egg and dip half at a time in melted chocolate, it looks exactly like the real deal. Sorry kids
That is truly devious 😂
Just imagining what Russel would have had to pay to pull that off, only to tie with a worm...
I would have melted some white chocolate into it and resealed the egg. Nobody expects a Kinder egg to be entirely solid chocolate.
Even Italians are more creative with condoms inside the egg 😂
Alex wouldn’t be prepared for a Jeremy Irons living in the garage.
I'd melt both sides to invert them, and put almost everything in the universe inside the egg.
I immediately thought "worms" too, but one worm is merely intriguing. I would've put in so many worms. just too many worms
Imagine you bribe him with tickets to Anfield and a (probably not) vacation to spain, only to watch the lazy dude to get the same points for a mere small worm. 😂
i was wondering why the intro was so creepy. Didnt disappoint lol
Someone should of put a ring in it and proposed, that would be surprising
Given the show's history, they would have gone through with the marriage
ngl the most surprising thing to be in an egg at this point would be just filling
I put an engagement ring inside a kinda surprise egg with a note asking her to marry me..... she was thrilled.... and said yes
Hahaha when she said "I've had a coffee" we all laughed out loud! Imagine! Someone drinking a coffee!!
I would put in a radioactive spider. Not one that would give him super powers, though. It would just poison him a bit and increase his chances of cancer.

Great video.

Damn.... I'm surprised nobody accidentally ate the egg straight away
Would love to see all the attempts at tie breaker challenges
Let’s not forget that Alex may be small but he seems to have a few little white hairs

That is one digit off from my PIN
I would have put beans in it

Should have been ‘put the egg inside something surprising’
It's the ashes of your late mother
My mum is not dead
Surprise
I would put a note that says "SURPRISE". You literally can't deny that this would have been a big surprise.
As a german, I would have literally put nothing in it and see the surprised confusion. Else I would have just printed out the Monty Python Spanish inquisition and won, because nobody expects the spanish inquisition.
I LOVE LIZA TARBUK
Part of me feels like the best thing to do is to just put... nothing in the egg. I mean, he's obviously going to be surprised by it...
I love Taskmaster but the laughter tracks are distracting
It's a live studio audience it'd be weird to no have them laughing
@carysbebard3690 I was more more referring to the clips of the tasks being done. I don't remember the laughter being used from the audience, am I just remembering it wrong?
I thought the egg would be better
I would have put fingernail clippings in
They could just put their bottle lid in there, imagine opening a chocolate egg, ready for a good snack, and a lid falls out.
I’d be so tempted to fart into the egg
Oh come on, Russel last??? At least his choice was repeatidly surprising for long and still it's on!
i wouldve put something gross and told him to eat it.
when you open it and see nothing I am always filled with immeasurable disappointment its like seeing a water fall with no treasure behind it is simply wrong
I think the most surprising thing would be left it empty/untouched. Everybody except ANYTHING as a surprise, except of NOTHING at all.
purple burglar alarm
in danish taskmaster one filled it up with semen. it was real weird and kinda disgusting
yikes!
Earthworm Jim
Is that the guy off people just do nothing?
what dafuq is alexander Stubb doing on this show? (President of Finland)
Did Tim make a Futurama reference with Phillip Fly? Or is that just coincidence?
Imma write no on a paper and put it inside they wojlsnt expevt that
