- Have the longest telephone conversation without the other person knowing you are trying to have a long telephone conversation. During the call, you must not mention television or Taskmaster. Every minute, you must reveal and carry out an action from the board. If the person you call says any of the key words, you must hang up immediately. You must call someone within two minutes from now.

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

4:40 "Don't put pressure on me. I'm trying to express myself in different ways, bro. We've known each other for 25 years and you ain't ever heard me do this before. *plays harmonica*"
This will never not make me wheeze laugh.
Oh my God yes, I just can't deal with his facial expression, tone and then the sudden harmonica play... His friend got PTSD from that I'm sure... 😂👍
“He didn’t even get his gcses and he knows what a harmonica is” oh friendship is so beautiful.
Wallahi! (I swear to God!)
Desiree's call was seriously impressive. Everything went pretty much perfect.
Dave is a legend.
*yawns back*
Seriously shout out to Dave
The De.....siiiirrr....reheyyyy was brilliant
"have you started drinking early?"
victoria had such a perfect out. an excellent excuse for whatever madness the board was going to make her do.
What if the person on the call just left tho?
Saying you're drunk makes it much more likely the other person will hang up though.
@@Moggetslittlesister i think its the opposite (if you are not rude or loud ofc), if you are a bit tipsy and talking about random stuff its just fun. If the other person hangs up in a situation like that he or she is just really boring imo
@@mims2752 Yes, and also, I would be a little worried about the other person, knowing that they're drunk and (probably) alone (since they called me to talk), and I would just want to stay on the line to make sure they get home safely
@@luciahoneybee great point, i agree!!
Victoria goes into every single task like it's the end of the world.
Her innate levels of British reserve are off the scale - she and David truly were made for one another!
Victoria goes into every task like it's the end of her career
*How dare they ask me to do this!*
@@FussyPickles I read that in David’s voice, and I don’t think it’s possible not to.
She and David Mitchell are the chronic anxiety power couple.
I say that with love as a fellow mentally ill / neurodivergent person. I love to see disabled people thriving, alone or with a partner.
Love Morgana's face when she thought she hit upon the foolproof plan of Calling her Dog
I was really hoping she'd call and ask them to put the dog on the phone!
@@LemonGrinder oh that would have been brilliant
I would've done a extensive automated robot system. Probably a credit card company if they allowed it.
The trick was to call someone that you’re really close with who would be okay with tolerating your weirdness without going down the route 1 option of saying the key words back to you 😂
I feel like that rainbow question would mess up anyone tho. By asking directly about the rainbow it invites them to say the word back
@@bragny I think it’s the toughest one too. I’ve played over a few possibilities in my mind and I think they’d likely say it in almost all of them. I think the best bet would be like Victoria’s tongue, i.e. just to move on very quickly. Another, but which I think would be disallowed, would be to ask them in a language they don’t speak. The task is to ask them for the information, not to use the word yourself. The ideal would be to ask them in such a technical way that they don’t understand, but realistically a random friend would have as good a scientific understanding of rainbows as the contestant.
@@icturner23 the other language thing is interesting, I thought about whether you could ask them in another language you both speak, and even if they say it back they're not saying the word "rainbow". I wonder if it would count or not
@@icturner23 I think another way be to phrase it differently. Like disguise the question as a rapid fire thing with other questions. Something like "Hey just a rapid fire question, just yes or no! Have you ever seen a sunset?" Then wait to see if they get the gist of it being rapid fire and just yes or no or if their reply has sunset in it and then ask the real question. "Ok rapid fire remember, just yes or no, have you seen a rainbow?"
Something like that.
I think the language thing would probably be disallowed. Or if they answer in another language but if translated it contains that word that would still count as them having said the word. Like if I were phone a family member in Germany them saying "Regenbogen" would count as them having said "rainbow"
I would've called a place that I knew would put me on hold for ages
Definite social anxiety for me, I can understand what Victoria was going through. Desiree was awesome though.
Interestingly, I have extreme social anxiety, but this task would be *so* much fun to do with the right friend.
I can relate to Victoria so much, I don't think there's a single task in the history of Taskmaster I would like to have done less
Having to order pizza without using certain words was pretty bad, at least on this one you choose who to call
for me it’s the tongue task, it was genuinely obscene 😭
As someone with ADHD and a best friend who goes with my random brainflow, I would've aced that. Just start by saying "so my meds might be wearing off BUT-" and I'm golden
Yeah, like a friend and I!
We're just bouncing off of each other, and saying "You know what is also funny..." and then starting with a completly different topic is just normal for us xD
This is our superpower XD
My mom and me both have unmedicated ADHD.
If I wasn't hard of hearing with auditory processing disorder, I would love this.
As it is, I hate talking on the phone.
Oh, and because it brings me neurodivergent joy, here is the list of UK comedians with ADHD that I am compiling:
- Stephen Fry
- Rhod Gilbert
- Russel Howard
- Lee Mack
- Sue Perkins
- Kiri Pritchard-McClean
- Johnny Vegas
Same. Me and my friend can be on the phone for 5 hours sometimes just being silent for long period a I would have had this in the bag
The rainbow one is impossible! How on earth do you ask someone if they've seen a rainbow without them saying it back? 😂
Immediately follow it up with never mind
You could try and immediately use it as an analogy for something else without giving them a chance to repeat it
Mention it in passing and then change the topic quickly 😂
The only way I can think of is to say something like "did you see the rainbow over [specific place]", putting more emphasis on where they may have seen one over them seeing a rainbow.
I know that if I was asked "have you seen that rainbow over London?", my response would be about how I haven't been to London in ages. Or be more focused on the place, especially if the person I was talking to used it as a jumping off point to ask about where I've been. The topic would move away from rainbows quick enough that I probably wouldn't repeat the word.
I don't believe the task prevented them from saying something like "do me a favor and don't say 'rainbow' back to me".
I'm with Victoria on this one. There's just something about phones. If I had to do this face to face with someone, not a care in the world. But the addition of the phone somehow makes it the worst task ever.
We gain a surprising amount of information from facial expressions and gestures! That's why it's sometimes really hard to determine intent from text alone - you don't even have obvious intonation and need to infer it from the way the sentence is written.
I'm super shy so my preferred method of communication is through text. Messages, emails, I'd even take a handwritten letter. Phone calls is definitely my worst, I'd take face to face over phone call any day.
The chance of miscommunication is way too big.
This task is a social anxiety nightmare for me.
Damn, Desiree was in the clear, her friend answered with literally anything other than "A rainbow?" but she circled back to it instead of immediately changing the subject
I'm with Victoria, this would be so painful to attempt.
It would be fun.
Sounds like a nightmare to me. I hate phone calls but I could definitely call my mum for this. 😂
I would've probably gone with Morgana's first suggestion
Just call someone up and be like "hey, can you put your phone next to your dog for, like, a half hour? Thanks"
When Alex called Morgana's Mum as Mrs. Morgana instead of Mrs. Robinson lol
I love how she had to be quiet for 20 seconds and her friend was talking about dinner anyway, lol
Victoria's monster noise is the best thing ever.
If I had a nickel for every time someone on series 12 made me cry laughing with a monster noise I would have two nickels. Which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice.
It was weak.
Tremendous task, really an all-timer. „We almost had it all, Dave!“
I'd easily have won this on the phone with my brother. We're both awful with keeping in touch by ourselves, so it's usually our partners or other family members who get us on the phone together. Better yet, we're equal masters of pointless tangents - these sounded close to our actual spontanteous chats
I'm disappointed that Victoria didn't just call David and get him ranting about something.
He would have known she was filming Taskmaster that day and that that's why she was being weird.
At least when it comes to taskmaster... she's not that bright
I have a feeling their phone calls are very short
I can't believe none of them called the customer service number of some big company, since they're usually not allowed to hang up until you indicate that you're definitely done with the call
I thought of calling a sales person. They would never hang up on you.
I think this demonstrates the importance of best friends ❤️
Preferably a weird best friend!
Desiree's yawn was the most contagious. It was the only one that made me yawn too.
The BEST version of this was a radio show contest for some concert tickets or something. The caller had to convince a random business that they were a temp working for another person, but they were UNABLE to work today because they were drunk. The caller did ok-ish, up until the point where the business person asked who they were supposed to be temp working for. Caller said Mr. Smith. Then like 2 seconds later they PUT MR. SMITH ON THE PHONE! Mr. Smith was confused but told him to sober up and call back the next day. Dude got the tickets.
As a telemarketer I would absolutely love this
I'm disappointed nobody realized they weren't forbidden from literally asking their callee to not repeat that word.
ahhh but that wouldn't have been as fun
If someone said to me, “don’t say the word rainbow” my immediate reaction would be to repeat “rainbow??” So not necessarily a great strategy
If only these tasks weren't filmed ahead of time. Victoria could've made the sound of the WOW monster and been less embarrassed.
"it's kindda both there and not there" oddly enough sent me down a thought spiral about rainbows
Love these clips, don't know what I'd do without them tbh
This is one of the funniest tasks of any series
I'd just call any paid-for phone services, ranging from a sex line to a astrogeology line. TM probably pays for it and it's basically their job to keep the other side of the line on the hook as long as possible.
Seemed like it was personal phones, so I'm not sure the billing gets covered by the production.
And pretty sure a stranger is much more likely to hit the keywords on a what the fuck is going on scale, or simply hang up, even when you pay extra.
King B - astrogeology???
I was thinking a sales person. They'll never hang up on you.
@@CraigChrist8239 Call to cancel a subscription, then again, maybe you are forfeited if you get bounced around their call center and wait on line for most of the call.
I was watching this with my wife (who is Ukrainian) - she would have found this quite easy, as would almost anyone fluent in another language. You'd get away with the words no problem and calls to her mum can often last several days.
I know I could win this task simply by calling my grandmother, we can ramble on forever and we frequently call each other for no reason at all, I also have a toddler so I could just blame the weirdness on him 😂
I'm a little surprised no one just said "I'm about to do some really strange stuff over the next few minutes. Ignore me, and only answer with 'yes or no', but whatever you do, don't hang up"
I feel Victoria’s pain. I’m like that when I have to make a phone call.
I feel like the people called must have thought the contestants were having a stroke... Especially hanging up abruptly. XD
I'd call my mother and definitely make it to the end, lol. I'd do the things and then really quickly redirect the conversation back to something about her and she'd be so happy to talk about herself she wouldn't even acknowledge I'd said anything odd.
my friends and I with ADHD would be so good at this. Just have either one of us start rambling about our current hyperfixation and there you go. Hours will pass.
Y'all if I was on here I'd a had this in the BAG. My sister bless her heart is so small and SO full of words. Every time she calls me I have to mentally prepare myself for the storm that's about to hit me. She says about 500 words for every 2 I can manage to get out. The shortest phone call I've ever had with her was 15 minutes long and it was just supposed to be her askin me what I wanted from Arby's.
I've been waiting for this to get clipped! I had to watch the season again the other week to find where it was lol
They didn't actually specify longest time, just longest. I would have just called someone who lives far away, gone for longest distance phone call.
Dave coming in clutch. He the real mvp.
I would have "cheated" and called my mother. We communicate exclusively in Spanish, so technically, there's no way she'd say any of the keywords.
I mean, would Alan have been allowed to call the water people? I would have much rather done that than call someone I know.
They don’t know you that well, so they might just say the key words back to you 😂
kemmes7 - Why are you such a wuss?
Oh, I could absolutely nail this. Everyone in my life has told me, multiple times, that I rant for hours. Some of them have even timed me!
Thank Jesus you uploaded this. I was scrambling all around TH-cam for this one, but couldn't find it.
Was Victoria's friend not David Baddiel? In which case he surely would have sensed some taskmastery afoot ?!
Victoria putting her inner 7-year old on full display here, even moreso than that time when she poutily accosted Alex for making her exercise in the ball task... LOL!
The best example of that is when she goes "whyyyyyy?" when she is informed that she can't meet the dog she will be making a toy for
I'd try and call up a tech company, they'd probably put you on hold forever and you can do all the weird things you like without them even listening
This was one of my favourite tasks ever
Morgana rung an Aussie since most of her family is from there, she's been here since she was a little'un but she was born down under and her half-sister is Brody from the Aussie rock band The Distillers.
Simply call the United States Department of Veteran Affairs and get put on hold for 40 minutes
just randomly remembered and googled this task and it was uploaded today, wild!
Invite the previous cast again please. Iove these people
I'm shocked nobody just called FedEx and spent hours going round with the automated system. 🤣🤣
calling customer service would definitely be the right move
If I was called, I would have failed them instantly lol, whenever someone yaws I instinctively say "big yawn".
this is exactly why U always keep a note of the number that called you yestarday about the secret fortune they need to post to u from Nigeria
God, that task would be literal torment to me. I hate talking on the phone as is, without additionally having to act weird.
Truthfully, they just need to call me. Ask me for all the ww2 stories I can remember and just ask if they can make a random noise every so often, I'll explain tomorrow...
7 hours later...
To be honest bro, I have no idea who you are but that sounds absolutely GREAT.
I took history as a GCSE and we learned a lot about WW2 so hearing those kinds of stories would be so cool!
I am old lady, Lol. Sorry. Didn't know you had replied. I'm not George, I'm Georgie.
My main interest is Allied air forces, SOE, ATA, Jewish and gay people serving in frontline or intelligence.
A few interesting side stories Joe Herman and John Vivash amazing luck story. Joe sounds American, but it was an Oz sqn.
You SHOULD know about the New Zealander who was the only winner of the VC and bar - ie, won twice, IN WW2 - Charles Upton VC and bar.
And was famed for being really kind and gentle with animals.
You might like to know about the first male to female sex change in Britain. Ex car racer pre war, father of two, Spitfire pilot, POW and after sex change, still raced cars. Roberta Cowell...
That is a few stories you may not know about as an American? Or GCSEs - is that UK?
@@georgielancaster1356 Those are amazing! I’m sorry for mistaking your gender, ma’am.
I do think those are really cool stories! I’ve never heard of them. GCSE’s are UK, yeah, I did take History as a subject but it was more based on British and Welsh history rather than overall history.
I’ve always been a fan of people telling me about their favourite things, so feel free to reply to me anytime whenever you want to share any facts or tidbits.
:)
I’m on the young side, so no doubt there’ll be things that I don’t know about, and I’d love to learn more. :D
@@georgielancaster1356
Also, I’m queer myself, so it warms my heart to hear someone be passionate about gay and trans history :) I still have a lot to learn on that front too!
@@Captain_Bottles I just wrote a huge long reply and phone wiped it! So much info!!! Can't face typing it again.
Have a look at the story of Charlie Brown and Franz Stigler. One of the nicest stories of the war. Always read multi sources of the stories. Some do no proper research, write myths, make up stuff! Some find fresh info. Slowly, you learn sources to trust.
There are actually video interviews with C & F, as old men, on yt.
I had given you so much gay info, too.
You must know all about Alan Turing, one of the greatest men of WW2, and gay - and totally betrayed by the British Establishment.
I would say send me a reminder for more info, but yt never tells me I have a reply or like. Or one in about 200. I fluked getting a like notification and didn't know about what, and came back to find I had a reply - much more important, but I find I really do get a notification for about only 1 in hundreds of likes or replies, so there is no guarantee I will see.the reminder.
I will try to keep in touch. I'll tell you a few places to visit for a wonderful wallow in human stories of WW2.
Logical thing to do would be to call someplace with various sections, where you could easily mention something that could put you on hold for several minutes. It says longest telephone call, not longest telephone conversation.
I would have immediately asked for Alex’s phone number and call him
That would have been a disqualification as the other person wasn't allowed to know that this was a task on the show.
@@Fabunility i dont know. Maybe he’s confused and doesn’t know he’s on the show🙃😂
He would’ve sabotaged you with his first word 😂
@@SuikotsuWolffang That won’t work either because you’re saying all the words that are on the cards yourself to begin with 😂
Im relatable af with victoria xD
would've called a Hotline with a disgustingly long wait time
“Did you just call me to yawn?!”
Noooooooooooooooooooooooooo…
Call a customer service person, they often can't hang up!
as an introvert this task would make my worst nightmare come true
I've accidentally had 3-hour conversations before. You just gotta call someone who's nice to talk to.
Excellent! Wish I could watch the whole series but TH-cam has decided that the UK can’t 🤦♂️
can't you register for a free channel 4 account and stream them there?
What about a VPN ?
Well, if the UK can't get it, there's no chance we'll get it in Australia then!
I would have called customer service.
The goal was to make the call last.
@@jonhohensee3258 the call would last. The conversation might not.
I would just call my sibling. We try to have short convos but end up talking for 3 to 4 hrs. Sometimes its even as long as 5 hrs.
I would've called the phone number you can call to hear the weather.
Should have called a business and ask to be put on hold 😂👍
I think the hardest part is them not repeating the word.. like it can be as simple as, "so have you seen a rainbow?" "A what, a rainbow?" And that's it 🤷🏻♂️
But the clever part was to talk really fast, so they dont have time to repeat anything lol
i would have called a hotline, would be a boring conversation with the computer voice but probably a very long one.
Calling a customer service would be the best call, they can't really hang up with you, it can just go on and on and on
Please do a Taskmaster fan favorite/redemption series where contestants that did not win but were well liked are voted upon by fans and can compete again. Maximum one person from a series.
For example, my ideal lineup is:
James Acaster
Mel Giedroyc
Nish Kumar
Mike Wozniak
Asim Chaudhry
Please consider this!
Replace nish with rod Gilbert.
It’s a great list but five is not enough and I really need more of Guz interacting with little Alex
Why Nish? He's an abysmally unfunny man
Could they have just called one of the other contestants assuming tasks were done different times?
My first thought was to ring the speaking clock, suprised no-one rang them!
I feel like Morgana should have just called her mum, that's what I would have done
Could it count to call a company etc. and be on hold for ages cause technically that's still a phone call?
Did Victoria call David Baddiel?? It sounds so much like him, and they're friends, but I find it weird it wasn't mentioned at some point
i can't remember his name but it was one of her professional poker friends.
It was Neil Channing
I would've called my bank. Easiest way to be on a call for 3+ hours consistently.
Great Task! 😂😂😂😂
No one wanted to ring up customer service? Get put on hold and yawn and run all you want
4:08 was the absolute best moment on his face 🤣🤣😭
i wonder if they could have called the numbers station or something like that XD
You could call apple support. They are to friendly to hang up
If this task was given to anyone from season 15 they would have called a business that would put them on hold for 10 minutes
Shout out to the Dave's of the world.
I would have messaged the person first while I was pretending to look through the contacts list...
I say this with all the love and admiration for Desiree possible, but absolutely no one can be surprised that the only American on the cast managed to win this task.
I would have called some customer services number XD.
The goal was to make the call last.
Oh yeah. Then I would have called a scammer's number
Just had to call my mum, we can talk for 2h. But yeah those tasks where hard
For anyone who's curious, Doors 4 and 9 were never opened by any of the contestants.
Bast i Test did this task this season, and those doors were opened. The rest of the instructions and their corresponding doors line up in that version. So presumably for this one, Door 4 reads "Mention carrots three times" and Door 9 reads "Laugh at everything they say."
The rainbow one was pretty easy. You could just ask and then change the subject on the spot
Honestly I probably would've called some random customer service number lol
