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
It's so weird seeing different seasons contestants doing the same task, like strange parallel taskmaster universes
That should be yet another series of series
I guess they recycle the same tiebreaker task from season to season until it is finally needed.
if the idea is good enough, they want to find a way to get it into the show, right? I wouldn’t call it recycling
@@pikatheminecrafter yeah no point coming up with new ones if they haven't shown the ones they did in the past
@@lettersnstuff Refurbished then?
The one task Victoria absolutely annihilated everyone in and it never made it to TV haha
She had the cypher team task where she solved it with only half the key. I'm confident that she could have solved that one without the legend at all, but it still surprised Alex.
Her well-spent youth and adulthood playing cards came to play here.
@@deepowls7873 I'm pretty sure she would have solved it *faster* without the legend, since she wouldn't have wasted her time assembling it.
@@AdmiralJota, perhaps.
She'd need to make the reasonable assumption that it was a simple letter-swap encryption. Only connecting that one of the 10-letter words was likely to be TASKMASTER would have then made skipping the jigsaw puzzle a time saver.
TASKMASTER gives you 7 letters and the I, O, H, and some other letters would all be trivial to figure out.
If Victoria got overly fancy, she might have tried counting letter frequencies and comparing them to ETAOIN SHRDLU (or similar). That would have been a waste of time. I doubt it took her too long to do the jigsaw, though it being half a puzzle made it slightly more tricky.
@@deepowls7873 If the jigsaw hadn't been there, I think it would be pretty natural to try to solve it like a normal cryptogram. And there were multiple "the"s (and multiple other words that started with "th"), which would have been a pretty massive hint that THE T......TE. was "the Taskmaster". And from there it would have been trivial for someone like her.
@@deepowls7873 A fair point, well made. haha
The tragedy in all this being that Victoria might have been the least probable to ever be in a tiebreaker
Truly. She did so well!
Omg its V1 Ultrakill from hit indie game Ultrakill
r/murderedbywords
Can Greg just give her a golden nose or ear? She did so well!
She actually did win an episode, but yeah. In fact I can't even remember if series 12 had any tiebreakers
Alex: Do you want a warning a 5 seconds? Victoria: Yes Alex: It's 5 seconds. Love Alex's deadpan humour whilst the tasks are on-going
it was a dirty trick, because far more often than not if Alex is taking the initiative to speak to you during the action of the task, usually it's actually purposeful. He'll answer you plenty, but if he's engaging, there's usually a point
Oh he’s just the most infuriating character in this show… for the contestants. For th audience, he’s great.
"That was a quick 30 seconds that"
Alex: "Thank you"
I laughed too hard at that
Bridget yet again misreading a task after giving Alex sass is GOLD
Jessica Knappett would've pulled the same kind of move lol
@@kevinw712 but would've been 100% less annoying.
@@dswnysports I'm honestly not sure what you mean by that. because I don't find Bridget Christie annoying at all. She has a very specific style of comedy, but I love it
I love Bridget and how she is one of the few people who can successfully and consistently troll Alex.
Bridget very clearly has adhd and I absolutely love it.
I reckon the easiest way to do this would be to collect all the beer mats like you would a deck of cards, create a stack, and then flip them over all at once.
I was wondering if it would be practical to sweep them all on to a sofa cushion and then flip them back on the table. Possibly not.
I was thinking this too, but it took me more than 30 seconds to get there
Scrolled down here to see if anyone had thought of this. I reckon if you furiously stacked and then flipped the stack at the 3 second mark it would definitely be faster than individually flipping. And you could probably shove a bunch into a stack pretty quick, too.
Victoria started to do that at the end. I imagine that tactic is what got her the win.
@@gussnarp or just done like 10 at a time and made lots of piles
So glad Ol’ Goosebump Arm got to make use of her years of experience triumphantly flipping over thin flat objects
lol, this made my day.
I love watching Alex get cockier through the seasons. Initially he's just quietly timing, by the end he's heckling the contestants
Idk if my favorite was Victoria’s lovely competence, Lee throwing his glasses on the ground, Judy continuing on after the buzzer, or Bridget just lying on the table 😂
Sarah: “There has to be a better way to do this”
Alex: “Then do that way”
Absolutely savage and I love it
Also: glad to see Victoria actually win something, sad it didn’t matter
It was like Mark Watson (?) with the yoghurt
Well, nothing matters...
You're all weirdos, All you TaskMastet Fanboys
Why do you look so far into programmes? I think it's the brainwashing but I doubt you will agree lmaoo!
Chris: that was a quick 30 seconds
Alex: thank you
😂
Somebody messed Charlotte's scores up, I thought something was off, so I counted them at 1:12, and it's about 59(I might be off by a few), and she got 25, which is less than half. I am less trusting of Alex's statistics from now on
I get 59, too. Also don't see that she made any mistake that would warrant a deduction.
The tragedy of Charlotte Ritchie!
@@carlalopes8060 I know, one of the reasons I even double checked was because she is one of my most adored contestants and I hated seeing her lose so much and couldn't believe she did the worst of all(across all 15)
I'm too lazy to check but my guess is that whoever edited the video accidentally mixed up two contestants so you could check all the folks who got a score of 59 and see if one of them only turned over 25 mats.
Yeah, plus having Judi get 60 despite having driven right through the whistle. It’s a bit like QI, the points seem to matter less than the whims of the TM and his assistant/elves.
I guess I like seeing credit where credit’s due, especially for people who’ve traditionally been at the back of the pack. Great to see Victoria smash this one, I’m glad we got to see it 😊
It's a shame that Victoria absolutely SMASHED this and it had no bearing on the show at all. She beat three seasons worth of players . Great job, Victoria!
Victoria is the only one who had the right idea. Just scoop them into your hand as fast as possible then flip all at once. It's the wrist rotation that's time consuming.
Spoken like a pro!
She knows how to use cards.
Chris “No Way!” Ramsey also had the same idea, just not as well executed.
She spends a lot of time in pubs.
Actually the biggest time waster was having to dig under ones you've already turned over to get at ones you haven't. It also leads to them being pushed off the table.
Sarah's hair never fails to blow me away. It's magnificent.
How can she be so good at Taskmaster AND have incredible hair, it's unfair.
Like a beautiful lion’s mane 🦁🦁
It is. It’s incredible to me since I have probably about a hundredth of that volume. 😢
Her Twitter bio used to say something like "Jojoba oil is the answer to all your questions" 😹
@KN-xl6lw Meanwhile the real answer is genetics.😭
To see Mike and Charlotte again was the real treat!
absolutely, and I'm not real sure about that counting system! Charlotte got way more than 25
I saw Mike do stand-up last night, and he was somehow even more endearing than on Taskmaster!
@@glorpianglorpian843 I did a quick, conservative count without zooming in to look for buried mats and I got 59 for Charlotte.
That was in keeping with her being underscored during the series for being young and unable to effectively defend her work.
@@glorpianglorpian843 I'm glad others have noticed the same mistake. It's easy to see that out of 112 mats she flipped at least half. 59-60 overturned mats is actually pretty good. Although "Poker Hands" Victoria is the queen here.
mike and charlotte will always be some of my favourite contestants ever 😭❤️
7:18 nobody cracks Alex up like Ardal, it's infectious
Just spent 10 minutes watching some people turn over some beer mats. Best 10 minutes spent. God I love you, Taskmaster. The gifts that keeps on giving!
@rappel322
Do you love Taskmaster? Or a grotesque
oppressive
delusion?
I missed Alex telling Guz that all the information is on the task. They had great bickering in that series!
a real shame we never got to see johnny vegas on the beer mat tiebreaker, considering how good he was at making a house out of them
idk, I wouldn't feel comfortable watching a man die right before my eyes
I now have the image in my head of Johnny lying on the table sobbing into his cap with beermats of different degrees of overturnedness sprinkled around him on the floor, as Alex blows his whistle
@@pooroldnostradamus He'd be on his back almost perfectly recreating one of those Rembrandt dissection paintings in his grief
This was like meeting up with old friends again and it felt like old times.
The utter chaos of Bridget is my favorite.
Alex Horne and Taskmaster is the gift that keeps on giving.
It's really not, is it - it's a proper waste of time.
@@tomekstec981 Then why are you here wasting your time?
@@tomekstec981 Queen Zafufu, stop creating these fake accounts.
@@Tao_Tology what
@@hithere7080 Silence.
I would have loved to have seen the studio's reaction to Bridget's method.
Greg would have had a field day with that!
Annoyingly she was only one point away from tying the episode with Chris and Ardal, in which this tiebreak was used.
Another example of VCM either doing really really badly at a task or just completely smashing it as she did here
Alex Horne and Taskmaster crew, thank you for being amazing gifts to the world.
Also, I get some joy in thinking Victoria would be quite pleased knowing she did the best in this task across three series!
"I'm sorry, was that whistle for me to stop or to get my attention"
That's exactly what I'd expect out of her and I love it.
Nope. Shows low awarness plus willingness to cheat in my opinion
@@TheSoultanidis Your opinion is stodgy.
Now all we need is the unseen aubergine task from s13 and we're cool
You can’t beat the hands of a champion poker player!
Muscle memory of a pro. You never lose it. You just get fatter after retiring.
9:00 Alex behind the camera talking to Judi here reminds me of a patient father recording his 2 year old quietly mucking around on his brand new VHS camera
can anyone explain how charlotte only got 25? even a quick glance at the table at 1:13 shows she far more flipped than that
exactly! I counted nearly 60
I don't know about you, but I'm genuinely bothered by this. It's a HUGE discrepancy. And why? Do you suppose they could have done it to f**k with us?
Wtf. I count 59.
Write it in as a question for Ed on the taskmaster podcast
yes! I counted 59 as well. WTF Taskmaster's Assistant?
Chris: That was a quick 30 second that.
Alex: Thank you
I love Alex
“Was that whistle for me to stop or just to get my attention?” 😂😂😂 That’s why I LOVE Judi!
Great play by Ol' goosebump arm! I hope there's more of these tiebreaks!
This is quite the moral victory for Old Goosebump Arms
Victoria had a great strategy. She picked loads of beer mats up before turning them over. I’m surprised none of the others did the same
Love seeing these unaired tasks! Imagine how much content they have in the vaults!
We know there's an unaired task where Chris puts an aborigine in Ardal's mouth. We need to find this footage!
I love the way Alex is such an Ardal fanboi.
- "Alright then. I'll carry on with my business."
- 🤣🤣🤣
A beautiful, after the event vindication for Victoria and a wonderful reminder of how outside the whole 'rules thing' Bridget could be
Oh this is amazing. The crossover event nobody saw coming
Victoria was the only one who KINDA did what I was thinking: get a handful stacked, flip the whole stack, repeat.
Really surprised everyone just flipped 'em one at a time. My immediate inclination would be to gather them all in piles and flip those. Not even saying it would have worked out. Just surprised the only different approach was to give up entirely and lay on the table.
Exactly my thoughts and hoped I’d see someone do it
@@SCFCBaker Victoria came close, which is basically why she got the most.
Yeah. Probably safer than my second idea of flipping the table.
That was my thinking too. Chris kinda came close to that after a few seconds but didn't follow through with it.
@@UpsetWizard I started to think that then they read 'on the table at the end' and I got a little sad.
Alex's humor is just so underrated. Responding to how quickly 30 seconds passed with a "thank you" is just beautiful.
WE LOVE YOU TASK MASTER.
It is truly amazing and commendable the amount of amazing content you put here for us for free, the fact I can watch multiple full series of task master for free right here officially brings so much joy to me and I know it does to others, please never change because WE LOVE YOU.
+ we're all behind you with your goal of 2 million subscribers...if each of us tells friends/family what they are missing...
I feel like the tie breaks should always be done live. Seems more fair to the contestants & more exciting for the audience. Congratulations on one million subscribers!!
Alex: Very cocky
Morgana: Thank you!
The real surprise was that Jamali didn't flip the table over and stamp on the beer mats.
I love how quick the careful technique turns into blind panic 😄😄
Like Charlotte's system of "Outside and then frantic"? 😂
As soon as I saw this, I thought this would be a Victoria task. Card skills.
Thanks for the treat, TM!
Lee Mack just flinging his glasses lmao
"Theres got to be a faster system" "Ah. Do that one then" The Alex Horne sass
Awesome task for a tiebreak, awesome that it ran for multiple seasons so we can compare contestants across time and space, awesome to see the different methods, awesome that this is free and Taskmaster got 1 million subscribers… all in all, keep up the good work, and thank you!
A video with the three of the best casts they've ever had...? Starting out STRONG!
I got confused when I started seeing more than 5 people, I was like, "wait, how many tie breaks has there even been?" then I realised they use this for everyone lol
There are other tie breaks we've seen used in some of the series, don't forget.
If the tie-break isn't used in a series, it leaves it open to be used for the next one (especially since they already have the mats and no extra cost to reset it)
Nice to see a tiny bit more of old contestants
Well done Taskmaster, tricking us to count all the card Josh-like just by showing a ridiculously low count for Charlotte ! (59 or 60? not 25 for sure)
Yeah I've just lost a night to this OCD bullshit. I'm full of cold too, so my time would've been better spent in bed. I feel wrecked now and my partner will be up for work in an hour...
59 btw.
@@ManWalksDogs So it is 59 indeed! Thanks! I counted too many times, always 59, but always feeling I missed one... Get well!
Surprised no one went chaotic and just flipped the table
Was my first thought. Even if some don't flip you will still get a lot by chance.
yeah but, is there a way of doing what you're describing with the cards NOT ending up on the floor? because the cards had to still be on the table to be counted
I imagine this is the exact reason the "beer mats must be on the table to be counted" thing was a rule.
@@trickytreyperfected1482 Definitely the reason wh, but theres some contestants that wouldn't even notice that rule lol I wanted just 1 to act like Romesh and the watermelon
@@kevinw712 they would definitely lose, just there's that chaotic energy that one of them would do it with realising the rules
Bridget always did have a talent for ignoring half of what she’d just read.
Thank you Alex and Taskmaster team, for giving fans what they wanted :D
I watched Bridget push them off the table and I got so excited because I thought, she's going to grab a load the right way up and put them all back on the table together at the same time, and then she just turned them over on the floor and my heart sank
I love seeing different casts do the same task as I often find myself wondering what so-and-so would have done with a particular task? I would love to more unseen tasks from.previous series!!
So happy Victoria won over everyone else even if it doesn’t matter!!!
Seeing this across multiple seasons also makes me wish there was a video that showed the set dressing of the room/house/caravan in a bit more detail as it changes so wonderfully throughout.
This just reminded me how much I miss this group, especially Mike.
This group of 15 contestants from three series? 🤣 You're thinking of the Taskmaster World Cup!
I love that Victoria won
Yet another reason to love Victoria, just what I needed!!
Imagine if Chris and Sophie had tied at something, and they used this tie break, and it was a tie! They'd need a tie break tie break. Also, I am genuinely concerned for Bridget.
nah, Bridget is living her happy life in her own world. it's fine!
Initially, I thought Bridget was going to do a really smart strategy of throwing them all on the floor, picking up the ones that flipped over that way, and laying those back on table. But then she went to lie on the table and I was reminded not to expect too much of her, lol
They actually did tie on one episode and IIRC they used one where they had to sing the highest and lowest note, which Sophie won.
Also Bob and Sally both failed a tiebreaker so Greg asked someone in the audience who should win and gave it to Sally even though the guy said Bob
@@GNVS300 I just saw the singing one yesterday and was super mad because either Alex is horrible at hearing notes (even as a musician) or they didn't actually show footage of their high and low notes. Going by the pitches they actually sang in the VT, Chris won by several notes, and none of the notes sung were remotely what Alex said they were.
This was very fun to watch. I hope we see more of these unaired tie-breaks in the future.
I also kind of wanna see all the future contestants do this task as well. Not for the main show but as little bonus clips for youtube or something.
So good to see Mike Wozniak again
I love how you can see the contestant's personalities, even in such a simple task as this.
Also I love Ardal, full stop
Also nice to see Victoria win something
Judi and Bridget still making me laugh even after their series have ended, lol
"I thought I was a beaver" needs to go in Greg's book of quotes
Wow, would never have guessed Ol' Goosebump Arm would storm this!
Of all the things, subtitles have your theme tune as "foreign music" - brilliant!
Just started watching and the whole family is hooked! Congrats on a million!!!!
Victoria take note that you won this Task out 15 other contestants
I'm glad she won this. Also, 3 of the top 5 were from the same season.
Who?
Ohhhh, you mean Ol' Goosebump Arms
What a tragedy that one of Ol' Goosebump Arm's most shining moments went unused!
Surely gathering them together, stacking and flipping all at once is the best way to get a lot of them flipped at once. Probably can't get them all bc they aren't as thing as playing cards, but should be able to get quite a few.
Congratulations on 1,000,000 subscribers!! I love Task Master. I wish I could be on the show!
I loveJudy just ignoring the whistle and keeping it going with a straight face. She was one of my fave contestants from all seasons.
I absolutely love to think how they liked this tie break so much that when they couldn't use it it one season, they brought it back for a second. And then when they couldn't use it in the second season, they brought it back again. And then when-
Dude, they have like hundreds of these. WE WANT THEM ALL.
For a moment I thought you meant the beer mats, but you mean the tiebreakers, don't you.
Bridget Christie still the only one thinking outside the box but miserably failing across 3 seasons. I love her!
Bridget didn't even have a box to think outside much of the time! She (and most of the others too) was brilliantly funny!
I wouldn't call that "thinking outside the box" and more "all 14 other contestants understood the rules".
@@TPH250290 still pretty on brand for her to do something without fully understanding the rules. Just cracks me up.
Sometimes the box is there for a reason.
The Soviet-style propaganda poster in the background roughly translates to "Creator of Tasks [Taskmaster], tasks are our duty". Great attention to detail by the Taskmaster team!
I kind of expected someone to just throw them on the floor, not surprised it was Bridget who did that
I can't believe across 3 seasons and 15 different people, not one thought to get a stack into your hand and then flip them. I loved this and they need to release tie break challenged they've done in other seasons that never aired because they must have a huge backlog of content like this.
Great day happening already. Tiebreak tasks to watch followed by a new episode shortly and the announcement of Taskmaster Australia finally happening.
Australia?
No weeyyyyyy!
I saw some mention of down under amongst all the TM stuff I've been binging tonight, but just assumed it was a ref to the NZ series that I've yet to catch up on.
They totally miscounted Charlotte Ritchie's number, it's in the 50s not 25
Oh I see now. Any unused tiebreaker can be recycled and later replenished once used. That’s nice.
Surprised none of them tried the slide and flip domino-ey technique magicians/poker dealers do with cards.
Charlotte's count is clearly completely wrong.
I think she has been mixed up with one of the contestants who 'scored' 59, as that is how many she turned over.
Congrats Alex and all the folks at Taskmaster, quite deserving of the 1M subs! Here's hoping even more find the unbridled buffoonery that this Taskmaster!
I really wish they hadn't done the challenge where they wrote lyrics to the theme song because they play it soooo often and every time it plays all I can hear is "taaaaaask master's oooooon, iiiiiiit's on right noooooooooow"
Gotta say the cast of all these 3 series was incredible. Every single one of those people were brilliant in their own unique way.
It’s like seeing old friends ❤️
Appreciate your understanding for the tough job they have. I’ve carried nail clippers as my cutting tool and never had issues with them. I think it helps that it’s something everyone recognizes as not dangerous.
Rug under the table. Put it on top of the table to keep the mats in place. Flip the whole thing upside down. Then put the rug on top of the table with all the cards flipped over. I think that could be done in 30 seconds.
I think you think that could be done in thirty seconds and in flipping the table and trying to keep the rug taught, you'll lose all faith once cards start spilling out of the side as you struggle with the table and the whistle will be blown with you in a heap on the floor, upturned table in your lap and cards everywhere.
What a wonderful extra!! I do hope to see more of these, because I quite enjoyed it.
I cannot articulate how happy Alex laughing at Ardal makes me.
