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
I just realized: the night Mark stole Greg's trousers, he very well may have also sent Greg a cheeky text
Lost your trousers babe? You look better without them anyway xx ;)
Ed Gamble did the actual stealing
That might have been one of the two days that Mark forgot to text. Remember, only 148 out of 150 were sent. All the excitement from the pants heist distracted Mark from making the text.
@@hi-ve1cw exactly XD
@@hi-ve1cw that would have been absolutely hilarious
It’s hilarious how often Greg’s house gets broken into during this show
I fear he is just inviting them in and then just not paying attention at all to what his guests are doing
and it's always Ed Gamble
As a joke I once stole all my friends DVDs at a party. He phoned the police haha
What Rhod Gilbert did is just incredible in "how and why".
I feel like he might be a bit nascent in his security during the show sorta deliberately
Either that or life in Britain really is a fairytale lol
The evolution of Greg’s face as he comprehends his stolen trousers is so fascinating
hands down one of the top ten moments of the series
You can see him touch his ear piece as the shows producer is confirming that they are his trousers 😂
I love the image of Ed cackling as he does it, the little minx.
The stolen trousers are truly the best prize.
No the best one is when rhod recorded Greg sleeping
@@kingleon11 (true)
He was robbed when he didn't win 5 points for that
Undoubtedly.
He really got a leg up on everyone
*Mark Watson:* I stole your trousers
*Russell Howard:* you're going on a trip with my mum to Aqualand
*Bob Mortimer:* I have a sausage machine
*Iain Sterling:* I have a song for you
*Rhod Gilbert:* _I have your national insurance number, your car keys, your credit cards, your dog and Alex's children_
@Khaeldranis yes but they call Greg Daddy
@@chelseawildflowerloftinwey1945 They can have two daddies...
@@iterumconare4258 I assume they see it as 1 dad and 2 mums
National Insurance Number (we don’t have social security numbers)
Yes, now *that* I live for
The look of genuine joy and wonder when Kerry and Greg say “laminator,” plus the reactions of James Acaster and Jessica Knappett, are infinitely rewatchable.
Yea, I love the fact that they have a sense of wonder on their faces
Laminators are love 💗 laminators are life 😂
The way they both started saying it casually, and then started getting excited half way through once they realised what the other was saying 😂
I come back here weekly lol
always wonderful to see two people connect.
Nothing will ever make me laugh harder than "Bicycle, My Xcellentbicycle."
What else would it stand for
He was the highlight of that series for me!
@@miki957 I don't know, it could mean Bycicle Motocross but I'm not sure... just a guess...
@@tk9326 not him being absolutely fed up with the lack of physical effort put in on erasing? that was gold
@@Beiconqueso02 There's no X in "Bicycle Motocross". It's obviously "Bicycle, My Xcellentbicycle".
What's funny is that even when Gregs stolen item was presented as a prize by someone ELSE, it had still been stolen by Ed Gamble
Ed Gamble helps Mark Watson by stealing pants from Greg. Ed Gamble steals 3 things from Greg's house. Someone needs to lock up this kleptomaniac Ed Gamble. lol
Mark woke something in Ed and now Ed can't quit it. The golden head of Greg stares at him and tempts him into stealing more and more from the man until one day we will see him in a greg suit and stilts sitting next to little Alex Horne.
Mark Watson stealing Gregs trousers always manages to crack me up
Likewise. I was at the gig! Adds an extra je ne sais quoi to the memory. :)
And yet I believe he only got 1 point for the round instead of 5. The fact that it's included here really cements the unfairness. (And yet is still hilarious.)
Or the months of texts to greg
Really, if they want to impress Greg, they should steal stuff from Alex's house instead. It might not be funnier to everyone else, but it could be enjoyable for the Taskmaster.
tho Greg wound up getting pretty much the perfect of possible paybacks for that one.
oh, what's that? only actually 148 texts sent instead of the tasked 150? uh oh then ZERO POINTS! lol
Greg's reaction is absolute gold when Mark announces its his trousers
I love him turning to Alex for an explanation. “Nothing to do with me!”
Also, Nish at 5:25
It’s the slow realisation for me. Hilarious stuff.
Greg should probably tape down everything in his house from now on, before inviting comedians in. Especially Ed Gamble.
And make sure there's no Gilberts in the wardrobe.
especially tape down ed gamble? 😁
and makeing certain everyone has left afterwards, dont want another rod hideing in the wardrobe all night again
@@issie1885 their private life is theirs, I'm not gonna judge
@@SundaraRamanR HAH
I love how the prize tasks are so wildly different every episode. One episode you’re playing for a blank check or someone’s wedding ring, and then the next you’re playing for a literal plate of feces
Or a video of the host sleeping, or a reindeer skull, or stationery, or Phil Wang.
I wish Rhod's creepiest thing made this list, that was by far my favorite prize task
That is genuinely one of the funniest moments I've ever experienced. I was watching it in class, and had to leave because I had uncontrollable laughter
Gregs response that didn't make it to air is also brilliant, saying "this won't go unanswered Rhod"
I honestly just sat here waiting for it and it didn't come
That was objectively the best prize task ever.
I think it’s just in a league of its own, it was a masterpiece
10:49 the laminator moment just brings me so much joy
James Acaster’s joyful reaction to that must have been the happiest he was the whole season
I CANNOT understand how Greg knew. Of ALL the things it could have been
@@graytart it's one of the most genuine moments caught on film
@@HunterofArtemis234 Well it is the king of the stationery items!
@@HunterofArtemis234 He was a teacher. We use laminators all the time to make re-usable activities, charts, whiteboards, ect. Laminate your flash cards and a set will last a good while. The students can't write on them with pencil/pen/crayon... and marker just washes off! We've used laminators to make check sheets for our special needs students, allowing them to check their schedule and track behavior daily without going through a mountain of paper. My favorite though is the set whiteboard. Laminate a place value chart, or a page with some lines for writing (larger spaces than regular lined paper), and you've got a good board for writing or math! Can even have them turn it over when they just need a blank space to work in without the lines/chart
I love how James A Caster's reaction to them both screaming laminator @10:50 is the same reaction as a cat getting scared by a load noise
Rhod: "I went to the trouble of knocking up a replica of your childhood teddy bear..."
...in homage to Greg, who knocked up the original.
the fact that ed gamble has stolen fron greg on at least 2 ocasions is amazing
"Bicycle, my excellent bicycle" is an underrated joke on the fly.
Two adults being ecstatic about a laminator, only on Tasmaster.
Two adults and one james acaster ^^
Honestly I was just thinking I need a laminator.
You’ve obviously never been in a school
How can you not have included Romesh offering his wedding ring as one of the best prize tasks?
because it wasnt
@@aidenaune7008 shut up
What episode?
Romesh's wedding ring - and Josh Widdicombe's signed blank cheque
Or Joe Wilkinson’s wedding certificate
Ed gamble nervously leading up to the point of admitting he stole from greg is incredible haha
Tim Key's delivery of "Reindeer skull" will forever have its own little place in my memory.
It really helped set up Prize Tasks on the show from that moment forward.
I think it's also the only time there wasn't an explanation to go with it 😂
@@meg5323Some of Joe Thomas' prizes come to mind, i.e. grape and soap
The fact Jessica Knappet and her feather boa are not on this video is a crime
“You don’t get fingered”
@@Orangecatinahoodie "My wife Nell..."
5:29 Greg visibly internalizing what is happening over a five second span is still one of my favorite TM moments.
If I had a pound for every time Greg has invited someone to his house to go in his hot tub and they've done something sneaky for this show I'd have two pounds. Which isn't much but it's weird that it happened twice.
At least 3 remember rod filmed Greg sleeping
Mark Watson is such a massively underrated contestant. He was so, SO good.
I will never get tired of seeing Greg's Dawning realization as Mark explains himself.
I can safely say Bob Mortimer is equally the most charming and incredibly strange person I have ever seen in my entire life. And I love him so much for it.
He makes me smile a lot. Like he has such dad energy in that he is so genuinely caring despite making 0 logical sense
The idea that multiple people just rob Greg before going on his show is hilarious
Kerry and Greg's synchronous saying of laminator is just the best.
When Ed gamble was presenting his best stolen thing I almost expected the pair of trousers to make a reappearance
it's still greg's stuff tho lmao
For my own reference:
0:18 - Bring in the best face.
1:27 - Bring in their most unusual item.
1:59 - Bring in their best piece of memorabilia.
2:45 - Bring in a photo of their most handsome relative.
3:39 - Bring in the best membership/subscription.
4:22 - Bring in their most surprising picture of themselves.
5:03 - Bring in the most high-octane item.
6:21 - Bring in the best thing that they've made themselves.
7:08 - Bring in the best hairy thing that isn't alive.
7:57 - Bring in the most magnificent day-trip.
8:51 - Bring in the thing that most people would like to touch.
10:15 - Bring in the most magnificent stationery.
11:18 - Bring in the best pair of things.
12:35 - Bring in the best present for a doctor.
13:25 - Bring in the best bag.
14:02 - Bring in the thing that if you found it in a field you would be most pleased about.
15:02 - Bring in the best thing they've taken from somebody else's house.
Hero
If Lolly casually pulling out £2,000 as “back up” isn’t on here I’ll be questioning the quality. If only for the reactions of the other contestants
Yea but it was bettered by Josh when he brought in that signed blank cheque which was cashed for 20k
@@CricketEngland nah we knew that wouldn't happen. Lolly actually hanging the cash showed commitment to the show
@@Stuffthatsfunny1 actually if you do your research you would know that Frank Skinner won the episode and cashed the blank cheque for 19k however he did give it back afterwards, not that he had to under the rules of the show....
What episode is this from?
@@BnFGProductions ok so I've just spent a little bit too much time looking for this, but it happened in the prize task of series 4 episode 8, which I advise you to watch in full (not just lolly's turn to present her prize)
The prize task was "bring in the most cash"
“To encourage my children to eat the cheaper meats.” A statement all fathers say about their children.
5:30 Greg’s reaction is so brilliant and you can see the wheels slowly turn and he puts it all together and then he just melts and it’s so good
Nothing beats laminator. They were both so genuinely incredibly excited about it.
joe wilkinson's wedding certificate, sally phillip's dried out mortimer poo, romesh's wedding ring, james acaster's cat in a wall, jessica knappet's feather boa and creepy christmas cards, kerry godiman's creepy t-shirt, mark watson's gate, hugh's cloud subscription, there are so many amazing ones missing!
the laminator and reindeer skull were so good.
'Reindeer Skull' will always be my favorite Taskmaster moment, the first task of the first-ever episode.
Aawww y’all didn’t include the creepiest thing, a clip of Rod Ghilbert recording himself in Greg’s closet as Greg sleeps
Wai...
Which season-ep was that?
@@MegaOgrady Series 7 Episode 8!
@@laurenmontgomery421 Thanks!!
That had me in tears
if they allowed multiple entries from the same contestant, this whole video could just all be rhod's gifts
14:55 Alex’s little “well you should look happy then!” is a brilliant quip and it deserved to be acknowledged
13:14
How fast Joe was able to come up with Bicycle, My eXcellent Bicycle astounds me
I was waiting for Jessica Knappet‘s legendary „You DON‘T. GET. FINGERED.“ :D
May I just say that Ed Gamble has some sticky fingers
He stole some fairly large items as well as being an accomplice for the trouser heist
Mark Watson's garden gate for 18K not being here is a criminal offense (Of-fence)
My favourite too.
Maybe for this clip it was a non-runner, couldn’t get out of the....
I think it's cause there's a full video for that already
Rhod Gilbert's prize tasks are the only reason he didn't win the series.
Also his team tasks. Its quite funny how angry James Acaster got at doing team task with Rhod towards the end. But respect to Rhod using the entire series of prize task just to mess with Greg. That naked photo of Greg got some mileage out of it.
@@georgiegan honestly it got a bit old for me. He's a funny guy I feel like he could have come up with more rather than the same joke every week. 2 or 3 times I thought it was funny.
He was actually like a monster who had just come to terrorise everyone there. Plus, he took most of the tasks in the true spirit of the game as evidenced by the rope tying task.
Worth it
Nothing to do with Taskmaster but I met Rhod once at the Edinburgh festival. He had asked me where the closest chippy was so I told him and said "my mum fancies you btw" and he responded with "it's always the bloody mothers!" 😂 I was gutted him and Acaster didn't get on. Hope it is all forgotten now 😂❤
"It stands for bicycle, my excellent bicycle" is my favorite line of Joe's lmao the man kills me
Tim Key's absolutely deadpan delivery of "reindeer skull" never fails to send me into hysterics
Laminator will always and forever be the peak of taskmaster, and the most magnificent moment on any tv show unscripted I’ve ever witnessed.
I love Mark’s voice crack at 5:26...even though it’s a comedy show and all done is jest he’s legitimately terrified of the wrath of Greg😂
Just Greg's face when he hears what happened to his trousers is effing genius.
Meanwhile Daisy May Cooper might win current series because she brought a bottle of wine.
I love how so many of these prize tasks are also in the worst prize task compilation, just different contestants 😂
It's like they uploaded this just for the new viewers as if to say "don't worry guys, the price task can be funny as well"
any prize task submission that somehow reveals more about the fascinating creature that is Greg Davies is a good one.
The best prize ever was Hugh and his clouds. I never laughed so hard at a prize. There is a sucker born every minute
I think you missed the two best - the "Greg" tattoo and Rhod's amazing creepy video.
The tattoo wasn’t a prize task, it was a “buy the best present for the Taskmaster” task.
@@dna507 sorry, that’s right
I haven’t watched this yet, but if Hugh’s subscription to clouds is not here I am going to be mightily disappointed
"subscription to clouds" sounds like a fancy way to say "british citizenship" xD
It's actually on the worst prize tasks video 😂
Therapist: Lolly as Lady Di can't hurt you
4:37: Lolly as Lady Di:
Surprising amount of people havent brought it up as if it is totally acceptable
@@josephleishman1982 comedy should always be totally acceptable, but if it were the other way round the woke flakes, and probably Lolly included, would be screaming racism and cancelling.
@@caribstu You seem to have missed the point lmao
@@hwren9845 No buttercup, I have not, I just don't agree with the original point she thought she was making.
@@caribstu The irony of you calling other people snowflakes while getting riled up about this lmao
Wow, after half of s10 it's nice to see prize tasks where they actually tried again
s10 has been terrible except for Johnny Vegas
I feel bad for Mawaan. He seems to be the only one that tries to think laterally but Greg just doesn't seem to be liking it at all for some reason.
You mean a solitary teabag isn't doing it for you?
@@michaelcolbourn6719 I liked that last ep (6 I think) Mawaan got some love. Almost started to feel like he's getting picked on.
You say that like it's a bad thing. I'm getting a real kick out of the shit prizes, the whole season has had such good madness.
10:54 - James Acaster’s reaction to the reveal of a laminator is fantastic
As a fellow crocheter, I so appreciate Rose’s bag. It is the best!
Well, it says so, so it must be.
love ian stirling flexing his cbbc days connections
Ed in S9 should have stolen Greg's trousers again.
Noel's "since i was 1" gets me every time. It might just be because I love him so much, but it's just the funniest thing to me
I expected this video to be a compilation of Rhod Gilbert's prize tasks. Come on, that shit was absolutely EPIC.
The look on Greg's face and the sudden excitement in both their voices when they say laminator is oddly wholesome for the show.
Greg really should get more suspicious of mysterious things happening to him ever since he started this show. Each time he still seems surprised.
Full props to Greg for an accurate and less familiar Darth Vader quote. Impressive. Most impressive.
I swear if Mark Watson doesn't get some recognition here ...
EDIT: I'm pleased.
Mark watson?
Yeah, whatever. He tries his best, but he's never...good enough 😂😂😂
He did!
5:30 That long pause while Greg processes Mark stole his trousers! Lol
There needs to be a part 2 to this. Mike Wozniak's mohawk needs to be up there!
It's always a joy when Greg's former teacher life bubbles up. And no point in the entire series is this more evident than "1, 2, 3 a lamInATOR!!!!'
As a teacher myself, I completely understand!
Moments like them saying 'laminator' at the same time make me believe in magic in this wretched world
I read the title and knew that Greg's trousers just HAD to be in here, or this video would have been a crime.
I’ll be honest, I’m a little shocked that Romesh’s wedding ring, the £10,000 garden door from Mark and Josh’s blank check weren’t there
It was £18000. It's blank cheque.
Who asked you to lie?
I like think this video as a passive aggressive dig on the season 10 prize tasks.
I was literally feeling that vibe too, with a side of teacher is trying to show an example to the class of what he's looking for in the assignments.
Greggs face and how it changes at 5:29 is one of the best reactions there's been on the show!
“Tim Key, what did you bring in?”
“Reindeer skull.”
God I forgot just how different Taskmaster is when it was filmed in an actual theatre. Everything has reverb and it does seem more like a Fringe show.
Rhod Gilbert coming on the show just to sass and demean Greg as much and often as possible was such a treat!
"this is us exposing the arrogance of the rambling community" one of the best lines to come out of TM
I've watched this more than once so I don't know if I've said this already but the moments when Greg is honestly surprised are the best!
I love this one:
"What's your name?" Greg.
"No." Yes.
"I changed it!"
But that wasn't a prize task. That was a buy a gift for the taskmaster task.
I know they needed to give others a look in but they should have just had each of Rhod Gilbert’s offerings
his “short film”...man
The fez on Greg's mum provoked one of the greatest double takes ever
That deserves a compilation all of its own.
@@Culky The fez wasn't a prize task, though.
The fact that Rhod's creepy video and consistent use of one picture of Greg aren't included is a travesty.
NEVER gets old seeing Greg's face absolutely light up halfway through "laminATOR!"
Rhod Gilbert. That’s it.
The laminator bit is still brilliant! Also the Josh Tattoo will always be best regardless of task!
Rhod's creepy video is missing...
They've done Worst, and Best, I'm hoping they're saving it for a Creepiest prizes compilation.
I chose to believe the laminator moment is genuine. Love it.
5:30 I love how you can see Greg take in what he just heard lmao
I'm really loving these compilations as well as the full episodes
Looking forward to parts 2 and 3 of this compilation!
Also- unrelated- I never noticed the cats on Alex's throne on some seasons!
The trousers make me laugh cry every time. I just can’t😂😂😂
I will never, ever, get over the immediacy of the response that bmx stands for "bicycle, my excellent bicycle!"
Mark got cheated so hard on the trouser one that was incredible
there needs to be a compilation of greg getting his stuff stolen/ greg stealing stuff/ stuff related to greg in the prize tasks/general show
Greg: is it a postman made out if cheese?
Noel: I wish
James' reaction at 10:53 is priceless lol
Best prize tasks, and they didn’t include Rhod in Greg’s wardrobe? It’s weird how most of Rhod’s were the same photo, but then he did two of the best in the entire show (wardrobe and BT)
