    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.

    Joe getting 24 out of 25 possible points has got to be one of if not the most dominant single-episode performances out of a contestant on the show ever. Especially with that commanding live task at the end.

      @bismuthcrystal9658 3 ปีที่แล้ว +142

      We see in Joe the expression of a phenomenon seen primarily in the populations of England and Wales, which linguists have begun to refer to as the "superstammer." What is occuring when his mouth hangs open is the same mechanism as a stammer, however it is so exaggerated that the words do not even begin to emerge. This has been called the "Wilde Avoidance Phenomenon," as it is theorized it was a selection responding to the pressure of Oscar Wilde's scathing remarks (though many hold Lord Byron as an earlier example of this phenomenon).
      This timidity, combined with the lack of large predators on the British Isles, has also led to the curious lack of environmental awareness we see in this episode. Even a large, high-contrast cow can go completely missed due to this lack of pressure. This can be mistaken for boldness, but make no mistake, these creatures do remain extremely timid and must be approached softly and slowly. Even an "Alright, mate?" can cause acute distress.

      i'm not entirely sure why people are praising him so much for it. 100-19 is 81, Greg gave more than enough time to calculate that, and when you see 81 you KNOW you're dealing with a multiple of 3. So you don't really have to do any math stuff at that point

      @@lred1383 Eh, what? How do you KNOW you are dealing with a multiple of 3 and don't need to do maths just because it is 81? The question could have been 100-19 divided by 20, at which point the answer is 4 (rounded down). It was impressive, he had it in almost a second or two of hearing 27. Fuck all to do with knowing it was 81. Now if you'd said "as soon as he heard the number was 27" then fair enough but 21, 22, and 23 would have been 4 (rounding up).

      @@Yattien89 well, i learned the multiplication table for numbers 1-10 back in 3rd grade, and it's stuck with me forever. It's not really math if you just remember the answers without calculation, is it?
      But for really big numbers, there is a trick: if you add up all digits in a number and the sum is divisible by 3, then the whole thing is also divisible by 3. For example, 3241647415769: 3+2+4+1+6+4+7+4+1+5+7+6+9=51, which is divisible by 3, so the whole thing also is
