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.
I love that Johny said who needs wind then proceeds to use artificial wind in his attempt with a leaf blower
That’s why it didn’t work for him (although that eventually saved him), you don’t shit on the power of the wind and then expext it to help you
Mawaan: "Yeah, I'll just put the marble in the washing machine and it'll keep rolling!"
Russell: *audible sigh*
Russell?

@@Umar-gw6fy Oh. I think your joke has wooshed over my head sorry. Am I forgetting a moment from Russell Howard's season?
@@colmwhateveryoulike3240 I think it was a task getting an object to spin the longest, once the thing stopped moving it was done. It stopped after 5 seconds.
@@obesus787 Ahh I did think actually expect it to pause at some point when watching this task so I wonder if that was a subconscious recollection of Russell's even though I can't remember it. Thanks for explaining the joke lol. Sorry to be that guy!! XD
“I’m not going to kill the hope, I’m just gonna make the hope realistic about expectations” sounds like one of Greg’s previous staff room conversations
"This is a contraption that, not only will you see the longest marble run, it will power this house for two minutes! Who needs wind when you've got a Vegas marble run?!"
Spoken exactly in the tone of an excited inventor of an early electric system in the 1800s in a comic book.
And then he used wind lol
He has the getup for it
I do have to say... Him using wind with the intention of making it go farther after starting the task with who needs wind... Just a beautiful irony.
Mawaan was so great. And the banter at the end is fantastic.
"I've got the rest of my life ahead of me."
wow the music in this show is brilliant isn't it. Really enhanced Katherine's imaginative and inspired marble run.
All made by The Horne Section of course
just so charmed by Katherine every time she’s on screen
Me too!!😊👍💯✔
Me three 🥰
Me Four
Me square root of 25
Me six.
She's just so charming.
5:33 "Well lastly but not leastly, at leastly not yetly" such an amazing line
Johnny is ADORABLE, I love him.
Johnny and Daisy radiate the energy of seven year olds trapped in the bodies of adults. I love all of it.
I love that the Vegas marble run that allegedly would make wind power obsolete was intended to use wind power in the final stretch
Katherine's perpetual motion machine.
johnny is such a sweet guy you know he's a good lad to have around during bad times
the look on his face when he walked in about the washing machine!! adorable lol 😍🤣
Mawaan has a wonderfully expressive face.
With some slight tweaking Catherine’s could have been absolutely brilliant.
It just needed some kind of a piston system, really. Either up and down on the plateform or to push it every time it comes to the side.
It was already rather brilliant :) At first I wondered how long she'd take before realizing the marble would roll better in the other direction, but upon seeing the end result, I was the stupid one XD
This cast is really funny. I like them all.
They were super laid back and funny and I especially appreciated that nobody was really too competitive. The thing that didn't make it into the show (but can be seen in some of the outtakes) was all the time they were out of breath laughing. In a few episodes, Catherine seemed like she was kinda pissed or tired but she's just literally spent most of the episode laughing.
Katherine definitely had the simplest yet best method.
If only she managed to smooth out those bumps a bit, probably could have gone longer. But I get that she was nervous doing more might cause it to fail, so...
I want to know how long Mawaan's marble rolled for.
I'm counting pushing the button as the release mechanism for the marble! Let's say you had a marble on a ramp and a sort of gate blocking the marble, then you removed the gate to let it roll, you'd count that as releasing the marble. Even though that's not when you physically set the marble down.
I mean if you also want to get really technical, Katherine's marble came to a stop and then started up again. If you're gonna DQ Mawaan on the technicality, I think the end of her run is when it comes to a stop to change direction.
@@Norm-R He's DQ'd because the task was create a marble run which by definition is a track for a marble to run down i.e. gravity fed, he didnt make a marble run and arguably his marble doesnt even roll it just bounces around
His run technically hadn't even started yet though, since Alex started the timer when the machine began to spin.
Just because Alex did something doesn't change how Greg will rule it
@@SavageSmithy Does a marble come to a stop to change direction? I feel like the force is displaced, a rebound, but is never nullified.
I would have disqualified Mawaan on the principle that he didn't create a marble run at all - he just put his marble in a washing machine. And it wasn't rolling, it was ploping around because it could no longer roll. So no points made complete sense. Other than the fact that he had to do something else to make it roll once he released it, and yes, letting go of the marble counts as releasing it. No, starting a washing machine does not count as releasing it, it counts as forcing the marble to move via something else other than it's own gravity. He was DQ'd on multiple levels, actually.
My idea instantly... "i need a turntable, put a disc on and the other side the glass ball in a cage... it will move for an hour..." second idea, a water wheel at the kitchens faucet.. ball inside the wheel, opening the water and leave it there". :D
Mine was a slow treadmill with the end blocked with some planks that are heavy and raised so the marble can't push them away but still spins
or do a hugh dennis
I am starting to think Katherine did not have a particularly nice childhood.
The washing machine idea was actually quite clever. I didn't realise that it was against the rules though.
technically it wasnt. greg was convinced by the others that the run started when he let go of the marble, when in fact the run started once the washing machine began to spin. "once you release the marble" is the main point they clung onto, but all of them released the ball for their own "test runs" with alex only starting the clock once the marble was actually going for the offical run, which he delayed on the washing machine till it actually started spinning.
too bad it would only have spun for a few seconds before coming to a stop and changing directions, as most washing machines do, thus ending the run.
@@megasora4 Disagree - it was against the rules. Because Mawaan didn't create a run at all, which was the first part of the task. Also, the washing machine wasn't releasing the marble - it was literally forcing it to move. The marble had no other option but to move, not because of gravity, but because it was being forced to move by the machine. The point of the task was to make a run, and have your marble move for as long as possible using gravity, because that's how a run works. Finding a loophole by helping the marble run in a machine, which is outside forces because the marble has no way to stop. If Johnny couldn't use a leaf blower to keep his marble rolling (if it had worked), then Mawaan can't use a washing machine to keep his rolling, because the marble isn't rolling on its own, it's being forced by something else. Plus, once he put all the protective stuff on, his marble couldn't roll anymore as evidenced by the loud bangs the washer was making.
All I could really think off was putting it on a treadmill that slightly slopes, maybe have some slopes that hover over the treadmill, like broom handles, to slow the rolling of the ball
So wait turning on the washing machine counts as influencing the ball but holding onto a part of the track (3:38-3:42) doesn't? Seems a bit off
Didn’t Alex start the clock just after he turned on the washing machine meaning he didn’t influence the marble’s movement after the time started
@@whereisedgar8905 Yeah, but the marble couldn't stop, so it was being influenced to keep moving by the washing machine. As for the track - no one called it out - if someone had - they'd be DQ'd too. That was up to Mawaan to point it out I think. The marble wasn't moving until he turned the machine on - and it had no way of stopping (presuming the washing machine worked like a dryer and just kept going in the same direction). It was forced to keep moving by the washing machine, so it was being influenced to keep moving by something other than gravity, which is the whole point of a marble run, which Mawaan also didn't make.
I'd argue pushing the button is the start, but I'd also argue he didn't make a contraption at all.
So many people in the comments are being mean about Katherine but she’s definitely my highlight
Who's being mean? Seen nothing
You're making up people in your head
Johnny was holding up his ramp after releasing his marble...
But if the run had a release mechanism would that not count? Washing machine deserved more.
1:02 Never gets old
They should have coated the marble in honey and let it slowly work its way down a shallow slope 🤔
....Oh....
It might of just stopped at one point though. It might of started rolling again but if it stopped for a second then it would of been done.
She didn't even know that you can put the word 'run' after the word 'marble'... and she created sth that blew everyone off!
Hey, yo, Katherine: "tepid fusion"! Go!
It would have been neat to see someone do the molasses jar trick to force the marble to roll more slowly.
I like how I immediately thought of a halfpipe/pendulum. turns out it was the best thing used. But technically when the marble changes directions it has stopped. so there's that.
One of my favorite Taskmaster quotes:
WHO NEEDS WIND? WHEN YOUVE GOT A VEGAS MARBLE RUN!
what's yours?
I would argue thats a ball, to big to be a marble
Mawaan stationed the marble and then mechanically released it.
Definition of release: allow (something) to move, act, or flow freely OR set free - and starting a washing machine is doing neither of those, because the marble was not free to move on it's own, it was forced to move as long as the washer was moving, it had no way of stopping on it's own until the washer stopped. Also - it wasn't rolling, it at best, bounced around the washing machine, but in reality, it was kind of plopping or sliding around as soon as the marble got high enough and would flip or fall towards the bottom.
Today I spent 2 hours building marble runs with some children. They are fantastic fun!
My washing machine, and i'm pretty sure all of them, stops frequently during a cycle and then turns the other way. So marwan's marble run couldn't have been so long
There even is another task where someone had a similar idea and the timer was simply stopped after a few seconds because of it (but sadly forgot which task that was)
Mmhm, gotta set it to spin
@@LeeDeeThe1 That was Russell Howard.
Oh I would have had so much fun with this one! Who doesn't want to let out his their inner kid when explicitly ordered? :D
I'm not going to kill that hope, however... this is one of those Tonya Harding-type scenarios... Have you ever used a crutch?
That blower is beyond useless
Who needs wind when you have a Vegas Marble Run™?
Madeline Sami & Leigh Hart both made great use of one on Taskmaster NZ, though.
So flipping funny 🤣. Love this show. I'm pissed the American version didn't kick off cuz they picked the wrong people.
Im pretty sure every one of them set the marble down at some point while building their contraptions.
That means they are all disqualified.
They were allowed to do whatever and then they had "one official attempt."
so daisy holding up the thing is not doing anything to affect it's movement?
I miss these goofballs
Hello, do you have captions available on your videos that are not auto-generated? I think they are thrown off by accents and the captions do not translate well.
They have good captions on the Norwegian and Swedish series.
Fairly sure I'm younger than most of these people and I can't believe some of them haven't heard of a marble run before. I love marble runs.
I was hoping someone swallowed the marble . Would run till next toilet visit 😂😂😂
Technically, her marble stopped at each change of direction.
I wonder if a record player would survive the weight of that marble? If you set it up right to keep it from falling off, maybe you could make the marble roll for the duration of the record ?
Did anyone think about getting a treadmill and a bucket? Have the marble roll on the running treadmill and use the bucket to hold it in place?
How could you not know what a marble run is? Every kid has played with one. I had this like modular marble run as a kid so you could make different marble runs and I loved playing with it and making different ones.
Whoa... gave them all a fire hazard and set them to task, good stuff. Lucky England can barely manage overcast
It also stated that a marble run relies on gravity, so the washing machine would be disqualified on that point as well.
Not on the task, though. What would Taskmaster be if you had to stick to all implied knowledge? "All the information is on the task" ;)
It does rely on gravity though. It rolls because it keeps getting lifted then falling again due to gravity.
The marble would only roll in the machine because of gravity
If the marble was attached to a certain spot in the machine, then yeah, the marble would be unaffected by gravity, since it’s not rolling, it’s being carried by the machine’s spinning.
But since the marble was continuously going down because gravity was pulling it towards the lowest part of the machine, I’d say that is definitely rolling due to gravity
This task is so easy, that it can be done in two steps:
Step 1: Hire Jelle from Jelle's Marble Runs.
Step 2: Enjoy the show!
LOL. 😂😂
not that it matters because its more about the content then the competition anyways but the laundry machine bit is by far the most bullshit disqualification theyve ever ruled
So many people claiming Mawaan was robbed seem to be forgetting that they are not the Taskmaster. Greg decides how many points their attempt is worth based on the complex algorithm of 'however-he-feels-like-it!'
Plus, the washing machine idea is just boring at this point of the series.
It was more interesting than the generic marble runs of the first three. His ultimately had more creativity and I think he should have gotten second for it
@@VideoGuy232 exactly
well the washing machine wouldn't have worked anyway. I haven't seen a washing machine that didn't stop after a shortwhile to then start again and then stop.
but i did think it was wrong to DQ him.
because technically that lady who used the large ruler thing released and pushed the marble. Thus affecting it. meaning she broke the rules.
also, the task states the marble run must be gravity "fed" which it would in a washing machine.
its afterall gravity that makes it fall down from the panels on the rolling thingy.
I would probably ask if I could keep the marble
With the same logic as "he pressed the button after he put the marble in the washing machine"
Daisy "guided the marble by holding onto the scaffolding" honestly Marwan was robbed
Naah, it's not the same. She released the marble and it started rolling. He released the marble and it did nothing. It only started rolling after he pressed the button. If it was possible to press the button and release the marble at the same time (say if he used one of those very old washing machines with an open top or a cement mixer), his idea would have probably be the winner.
I agree with Bwern, she had released it the exact same way he did.
He failed at arguing the rules which is crucial skill in this game, especially when you skirt the rules. He should have argued that setting down the marble was part of the setup and pressing the button was the release mechanism.
@@katharina... Exactly, if he turned on the machine and then put the marble in the washing machine he would have won.
I would argue that Mawaan didn’t build a marble run at all, the washing machine was built by someone else, not him. 😂
But in the end it simply said “longest marble run wins”. Technically Mawaan’s marble run went on the longest
WHY IS THE WASHING MACHINE IN THE KITCHEN
Catherine's marble stopped every time it changed direction
My man Mawaan got swindled
"Make a marble run". Washing machine dude didn't make jack s#$t.
Are no physicists going to mention that Kathrine's marble stopped several times? When any object transitions from positive to negative velocity at some point in time that object has zero velocity. Basic calculus. Her attempt should have just counted for 2 or 3 seconds.
Did the washing machine survive Mawaan's attempt?
Katherine's time was WAY lower since the marble came to a complete stop for an instant on the first reversal in direction. Bit late to the party, but the fact that it starts moving again half a dozen times shouldn't have been relevant to a harsh judge with an awareness of physics. :-)
Robbed!
first time i see "marble run"
Marwan actually screwed over; the idea was genius
He broke the rules
quite unfair. catherines marble stopped a few times. show is great tho
this is just goldberg machine
This was a clear failing by Greg. For the last marble to come back the otherway, at some point it had to have stopped, so the timing would be just the first roll. That might be dickish, but quoth the Taskmaster "i've been a real arsehole about the rules"...!
Actually it wouldn't have, since the ball wasn't operating on a single axis, but two. It's extremely, cosmically unlikely for it's velocity in a direction perpendicular to the tract to also be exactly zero at the precise moment it's velocity along the axis of the track became zero. In other words, it was almost definitely moving either ever so slightly to the right or left as it was turning, which means it was still moving
For the ball to change direction and reverse it surely has to stop first, momentarily.
Task never said it couldn't stop. Just longest run and you couldn't manipulate it after releasing. Besides, most marble runs would have back and forth in them at some point. Like Daisy's did.
Daisy realy growls more than talk sometimes :¥
I think mawaan should have won cus him pressing buttons was the release mechanism
"marble that rolls for the longest time wins" Catherine's time should have been shorter because when it reverses direction it actually stops rolling for an instant ....
Katherine's marble stopped at the first point it changed direction, and should only have been timed until that point... however clever it was.
exactly
Unless Marwan actually built the washing machine then he never constructed a marble run.
Doesn't the marble stop for a split second when it goes the other way? If you DQ the washing machine you should also DQ the last one!
the last one was shorter it had to stop to change direction
may I just point out, each time the marble changed direction, it stopped!😊
Am I the only one wondering if Katherine smokes a bowl before they get on stage
Man, that does make a lot of sense.
Catherine used force to launch hers! How did that slip past them?
there was nothing in the rules about forceful launches
Everyone trying to disqualify him for the washing machine cheat are kill joys. They, like many people, are just envious when people find lazy but brilliant solutions to life's problems.
Also known as "wanky workarounds".
Why are they judging by time instead of distance? To avoid inclines? Stupid
Justice for Maawan
Clearly a certain person does not know what a marble run is.
Johnny is the best! Always fun and enthusiastic. The opposite of Catherine, who looks as if she can't be bothered to even think about being interesting or entertaining.
I honestly believe there was some subtle racism here. Everyone was giving Mawaan such a hard time. If any of the other contestants made that same move, they would have been praised for the initiative.
There may have been. See also "high five a 55-year-old", which was probably much harder for Romesh than for the others.
Did the girl not push the marble down the run? If that was the case why not chuck the marble on the street
Katherine's run was much shorter than 32 seconds as it stopped each time it changed direction.
I dont want to be that guy, but in Kathrines run ball was stationary every time it changed direction. Right?
But it kept rolling on it's own accord, with the momentum initially given. Any marble that hits a wall will have an instant of being "technically" not moving, but that doesn't mean it stopped.
Yes you are right. Ball stopped, but the run was not over. I did not get the rules. Thank you.
The Earth moves constantly, all the marble runs were completed on Earth, therefore all marble runs are perpetual - it's all about the frame of reference.
How did she win? She rolled the marble multiple times to test the slope.
Still pissed Mawaan didn’t win
Kathrine again with the "I've never actually heard of that term before" **sigh** she was definitely a low point for the whole show.
Definitely a high point
She was glorious.
Her failure to even grasp what half the tasks were asking of her, and her utterly bonkers way of trying to perform them regardless, is some of the finest tele known to man or beast. 😂
,
“Who needs wind” Johnny, apparently X,D
Kathrine's attempt would faulter if you counted physics 😞 Every time the ball changes direction on the same axis, it would have to come to a momentary stop each time to make the shift possible 🤔
That's actually pretty common in marble runs. I think the spirit of the challenge is to have the marble travel the longest via it's potential energy. I.E. No outside introduction of energy, which is why the leaf blower and the washing machine aren't really allowed. I would say the washing machine is ALMOST cleaver. except that it's not one of those solutions that makes you go "WHY DIDN'T I THINK OF THAT." I think it's more that most people would have thought that wasn't allowed.
But really he should have been eliminated for the fact it was spinning not rolling as it wasn't making progress, if what he did was allowed then the obvious solution is to get something with an electric slow turning motor and prop the marble up in a way where it just spins in place. but that's not ROLLING.
Actually it wouldn't have, since the ball wasn't operating on a single axis, but two. It's extremely, cosmically unlikely for it's velocity in a direction perpendicular to the tract to also be exactly zero at the precise moment it's velocity along the axis of the track became zero. In other words, it was almost definetly moving either ever so slightly to the right or left as it was turning, which means it was still moving
