- Taskmaster: Minnesota - Episode 1 | 'Surgery on a Grape'
The first episode in a saga of 6 contestants completing hilarious tasks!
In this episode, Ben, Carter, Henry, Max, Owen, and Parker explore their artistic sides, attempt to launch a grape as far as they can, and get patriotic.
A home version of the brilliant UK TV series, "Taskmaster".

This is way more entertaining and bearable to watch over Taskmaster US, great job!
Can this be the official US adaptation instead?
Cool I got pinned thanks. Never had that before
I watched one ep of the US taskmaster and i couldn't stand it lol. But this is actually bloody funny because it's down to earth humour with no try hard BS.
@@TrentsWaterfallAdventures Amen. I actually watched all the US episodes and I wish I hadn't.
I agree!! This is fantastic!!
I just think of the other one as the Californian one now.
I’m less than three minutes in and I immediately subscribed at “we will not be doing 5 prize tasks this season because these are college students and I suspected that they don’t own 5 things each”
Never thought I'd be sitting here spending my evening crying laughing about a guy desperately smacking a grape with a pool noodle. This is so very Taskmaster-y.
This is way better than I was expecting when I went from "oh, another taskmaster version?" to "oh... just something people are doing themselves" to "oh, this is actually really good!"
The aesthetic is incredibly on point and its great to see original tasks with the wiggle room for running a literal mile with a grape.
65% of a mile lol
It's amazing how a bunch of college kids from Minnesota made a show sooo much better than any American attempt at Taskmaster! Great job! Can't wait to watch more
Show kicks off with "Americans can't do banter", followed by an hour of pure banter 😂 great job
That's high praise! I was very worried about studio banter because I really had no idea how it was going to go, but everyone was really on top of their game!
@@TaskmasterMN well, you did a better job of it than the "comedians" in the US version so be proud
This is my headcanon for being the actual US Taskmaster
This is actually super entertaining and very much captures the spirit of Taskmaster. Measuring distance in unfolded brass instruments is pure Alex Horne energy. Great job everyone.
I like how David uses Alex Horne's gag of using non conventional units of measurement like French horns, tubas or feet.
I really appreciated that touch as well!
@@SomeGuy-mt4hq you people use feet to measure things? 🤮
@Some Guy you've got it backwards. Feet and inches are part of the Imperial system, which America does use.
@@ragefury1817 you people...
@@Tmonahan2424 oh yikes. What a thorough fuck up. Thanks for letting me know. Really should've fact checked myself lmao
To the dude trying to hit the grape off the table with the pool noodle... When the grape went backwards I spat out my breakfast cereal!
Random catch, but top marks for putting the contestants in alphabetical order just like the show! Side point though, in the first prize task of every series they always go from left to right.
This is the best "Amateur" Taskmaster I've seen yet. The editing especially is great. It looks like you guys had a lot of fun.
Max trying to hit the grape with the pool noodle while it was on the table almost made me die laughing
The Mark Watson Cameo was a great idea!!!
man, the professional show stars comedians and performers but these guys are just as funny and entertaining, awesome job Minnesota!
Thanks! I think it definitely helps that Carter, Parker, and I all have some background in improv comedy as well
really loved parker's interpretive dance about fireworks
I think that was the only task that while I was editing it, I cried laughing
I love how the Barn is right next to a golf course (28:34) just like the UK taskmaster house, almost like it's meant to be.
Very good point!
"I've been working at a summer camp all summer and let me say, you have some serious talent" is an incredible joke.
I just heard of this and now I'm going to binge the entire thing.
Sounds like a great plan, let me know what you think!
Me too. 🇨🇦
So well done, hits all the right beats. Naturally the production quality is hard to reproduce without a giant budget, but really captures the charm of the original. Can't wait for more!!! I especially want to learn about the different contestants and see how their personalities attack tasks and grow across the series.
Best US version, hands down
1000% the best US version of Taskmaster!! This was so much fun to watch and it looks like you guys had a blast filming it. I can't wait to see the next episode.
thank you so much for "buying some damn subtitles".
I'm not sure David caught the reference, but I did, and second the sentiment.
(It's extra funny because I come to this straight from a conversation about the lack of subtitles at an ASMR video which, I would argue, is the one instance where buying some damn subtitles isn't really necessary, only nice, and someone was being rudely unreasonable about demanding them.)
This was awesome!
Aside from the audio and lighting issues, this was excellent for several reasons:
* The editing. Great timing, not only in the introduction segments but also in choosing the order and flow of the tasks.
* David. Great comedy timing. Great task design and execution. While it's obviously inspired by Alex Horne, it's not easy to paint like Leonardo.
* The contestants. They're fun, creative and totally into it. Great work.
The taskmaster also did a decent job and his rankings were very fair. I can't wait for the next episodes.
I also hope that Alex and/or Greg will send you a support video, as I'm sure they would love this.
Great job.
I just want Alex to watch it! I've tweeted at him a few times but no indication that he's read them...
@@TaskmasterMN is be surprised if you won't get an invitation to visit the set for the next filming. @taskmaster / Alex, if you are reading this, we all trust you do do the right thing for this amazing tribute for your creation.
@@kitsuneneko2567 He already has acknowledged since these comments. He tweeted his support: twitter.com/AlexHorne/status/1437864271216533514 and also made a positive comment on Episode 3: th-cam.com/video/8aeG1H4OknA/w-d-xo.html
Yup, it's all great but the editing is really nice. Really captures that 'Taskmaster' feel.
I‘ll definitely use Grape That! as a catch phrase now.
So bad it's good.
This really shows how resilient the format is, and how much you have to screw it up to fail at an adaptation. You did a good job and gave me a few laughs.
Really hope Alex and Greg get to see this because this is amazing!!
I love this! I haven’t felt this way since watching Starkid’s early productions way back in 2009. That’s a good thing. A great thing!
2 minutes in and I'm already sold. The "banter" really got me.
Here before this becomes mega viral
That's the dream baby, see you suckers on the other side
I love all of these task designs, you've really captured the way a good task both restricts the contestants and allows interpretation. Nice work!
Carter: Olympic Grape Spitting Champion
I got this on my recommended list and clicked immediately. This looks promising and amazing already! Thanks for giving me the content I need to survive before series 12 is released!
Love, an avid TM fan (having watched all UK and NZ episodes more than one time) from Hong Kong :) keep up the amazing work guys!
Heyyy! Other Hong Konger!
@@samlee5549 omg a fellow hk taskmaster lover??? Hi!!!!!! don’t think I ever met someone in HK who watches TM!
Parker 100% deserves the fireworks win - that's exactly what fireworks feel like!
What an amazing and ambitious summer project! You guys did a great job, and I'm excited for the future episodes. Also, the barn holds its own in the pantheon of taskmaster locations!
The barn was amazing! I can't believe how lucky we were to be able to film there. I really wish David had gotten some of the filler footage of the cows
Binging this! Love all the effort that's been put into this. Thank you so much for having captions, I know it's 10x harder to have captions these days because TH-cam took away community captioning
Thank you! I'm sorry that we only have captions for a few episodes, I really hate typing them 😭😭
This is amazing! Genuinely better than the official US Taskmaster. Grab yourselves a nicer camera and mics and can balance the audio and this could 100% be a major hit on YT
I really enjoyed this! I especially loved the chaotic energy.
I'll stay tuned for the next episode!
Absolutely LOVE the original tasks!
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. Best concept ever.
Watched the entire thing, and after seeing all of Taskmaster NZ, and some of the UK version, this one actually does a great job. And the fact that Australia doesn't have a version yet makes me kinda sad. From an Australian trying to get their Taskmaster fix
You should definitely watch the rest of the original UK version.
@@Alex_Faux granted I should, VPN does wonders for that. I did see the entirely of Season 11, plus I do have a good idea on who's who in each season too
MrWestern my Aussie brother, go to SBS on demand, they have Taskmaster UK on rotation, they just cycled around through season 1 and have just started season, 2, it is all still up there, watch it all and have a great time.
Don't worry, got a VPN, so up to Season 5 on their TH-cam Channel
UKTV Play (i.e. Dave in the UK) has s1-9 for free if you've already got VPN. You will want to watch s7 by all means necessary. Binge (Aus) has s8-10, I think they still offer a free trial.
Thank you for leaving in the cursing- it is such a small thing that uk and nz leave in and somehow adds so much. This will be a nice thing to watch until uk 12 comes out. Def better than our prior attempt here in the US despite not having the production value and 4 comedians and whatever Lamponelli is
This was such a fun episode! I’m really glad I checked this show out :) I'm so impressed by all of the effort put into this.
what a blast! Thanks to everyone involved. may your joys in life be doubled.
Yes! More taskmaster! And as good a tasks! Super fun to watch.
Greetings from the Netherlands
This is great. I’m so proud of you guys. I just discovered this and will now watch all the episodes! So awesome! Can’t wait to get to know everyone and hopefully remember their names soon LOL!
So excited to have found this! Found you thanks to you being on the podcast! I love Taskmaster and I’m in Minnesota!!! No one in my life gets why I love it so much! Great work!
i mean this in the best possible way. even though this was made in 2021, it looks like it was made in like 2008. perfect vibes
finished watching all the sanctioned Taskmaster series, i guess i gotta binge this now
I can't wait for the next series' foreign guest being from Wisconsin or some other midwest state
somebody should have brought in a Wisconsinite for the prize task
This is amazing! Great likable and humorous cast, fun tasks, splendid production. Thank you so much for this fan series! Truly loving it!
Thank Jason! I hope you watch the rest of the series, because it truly only gets better from here!
thank you for doing this. it truly shows the impact of the best show ever
That was really enjoyable! I hope you can get better audio in later seasons.
Personally, I would accept open captions or actual closed captions (not auto-gen) as a hard-of-hearing person. Better sound equipment costs more money, creating captions just takes time.
They would have to create them themselves, though, since TH-cam got rid of Community Captions in September 2020, despite protest and petitions from the Deaf community.
@@janeeyre1990 Luke spent a couple of hours creating CC for this video but then it all got deleted cause youtube is stupid :(
such a good homage!! this is just lovely :,) can't wait for series 12!
I so hope that Alex and Greg see this - this is bloody HILARIOUS 😂 I’m only 5 minutes in and I’ve already told my fellow Texan in the UK bestie (we’re both obsessed with Taskmaster) that he has to watch this. Smashing job guys!! ❤
I have been watching tackmsieter for several years. This was good. Kepp doing good.
Thank you to Megan and luke's grandparents.
it is comically funny how low budget this is, better than the whole of Taskmaster US
This captures the spirit of taskmaster so well I love it
This is genuinely delightful! I feel like this is what TH-cam SHOULD be. Wonderful community-building, guys … please keep it up for as long as you’re able!!
this is very charming you really captured the vibe of the actual show in spite of the low tech
The editing is just as funny and chaotic as the og show. Cudos to yall.
You guys did this on your own in places you had access to and I'm 30 seconds in and it's better than the official US version. You've got bright futures guys!
I gasped when I saw Mark Watson.
I honestly wasn't expecting this to be good as it was. I passed it up initially, but after seeing people talk about this positively on Facebook and Reddit, i decided to give it a watch. I'm glad I did, and I look forward to more from you guys, well done.
Literally better than the actual taskmaster US version so excited you got two seasons up!
Doing Minnesota proud. This was a ton of fun.
Omg the dedication, this is great. Thank you for sharing with the world!
This is very well made. Yes, it’s not technically perfect, but it’s entertaining. That’s the hardest part imo
if you guys keep doing these it would be nice to have each task in the description (and even printed on the screen while being read), as it's hard to remember the entire wording off the one reading.
My favorite part of Taskmaster is the ways to complete tasks in interesting and out-of-the-box ways. when they technically complete the task but in a way you never thought it's very satisfying, but if the audience didn't catch the task it's harder to stay engaged.
I wasn’t sure what I was in for but you all did great with this! Props to the editor for making it feel so similar to the legit thing
from a hardcore TM fan from the UK... you killed it guys... brilliant
Excellent job everyone! This was really good, I watched the whole thing in one go!
This is pretty dope, kid.
Great effort guys - I watch all the Taskmasters, even the Norway one that I can't understand a damn word they are saying. These - forgive the term - amateur ones open up a whole new realm, and a very welcome one. Keep it up, keep it coming. Liked and subscribed. I don't know how much you have already filmed, but I would suggest a slightly darker room in future - part of Taskmasters "vibe" is intimidation - essentially he's playing the Devil, hence all the Red, Black and Gold. I'm not saying build your own set, but certainly a darker room would put you closer to the original. Just a suggestion, not a criticism. Excellent effort and I look forwards to more - and hopefully this inspires others to make their own versions as well.
Greg's playing the Devil? If that's the intention, then that's sick. I am now in love with the image that each of the contestants have been sent to Hell and are either living their punishment or trying to win an escape 🤣
@@somejellykid oh my god this is video essay stuff!! david baddiel and katherine parkinson as sisyphus!!
The Norwegian one is captioned. The Finnish one is better. But TM:MN is the best!!! (And doesn't need captioning.)
Also Kevin Harts Celebrity Game Face is similar - not the same - but close. Worth a view if you're a TM fan looking for something else. Also, Celebrity Treasure Island NZ (Skip to season 2, season 1 was.... not good). Again, a task based show that puts celebrities in awkward positions. Worth a view if you're bored. And Treasure Island? Doesn't matter if you're straight, gay or anything in-between - there's some serious eye candy there.... as opposed to Greg and Alex..... hehehee. Seriously though - worth checking out (season 2). Obviously I would never ask you to do anything illegal, BUT if you happen to have a link to the content you suggested? That would be great. TM:MN is online, but I'm struggling to find the Finnish?
@@damightyshabba439 The Finnish one is called Suurmestari, but here's the link to the first episode. Enjoy! (And let me know if it doesn't work.)
th-cam.com/video/xsUxHgR-2s4/w-d-xo.html
And thank you for the eye candy alert! :)
Genuinely captured the vibe better than the US version, everyone tweet it to Alex Horne
Wow, great editing for an amateur. Just using multiple cameras did go a long way. I can tell that there was a lot of work behind this.
I would say this is up there with the New Zealand Taskmaster when it comes to entertainment. This is better than all the Scandinavian ones I watched.
Didn't mind the sound after a while.
Well done!
Wow this popped on my taskmaster search and it's genuinely funny to watch! Great work with the task creations and editing. You got a sub from me!
Great stuff. This randomly appeared in my recommendations and wasn't sure what to expect, but it was fantastic. Well done to all involved. Looking forward to watching the rest of the series.
This is way better than the American version of the show... Well done guys... Enjoyed watching.... Sound is the only issue.
All the best and lots of love from India.
Quality work and cant wait to watch these over the next couple weeks, Vibes are on point
This was very well done! The tasks were all very unique and interesting, and as a whole it was really engaging. 👍🏽👍🏽 Thanks for the Taskmaster fix!
I was planning on doing this with my friend. Great episode and I can't wait for more.
what the heck this rules way more than it has to. looking forward to more!
The production values might be low budget, but the editing and comedy fucking nails it and that's the important part. i am thoroughly entertained. hope you don't catch any flak for it.
(my recommendation for the first 'upgrade' if you keep at it is cheap personal mics for everyone. even if the audio quality of the mics isn't that great, it'll be more even and easier to hear. especially in the studio segment.)
You'll be glad to hear that we've upgraded the microphone quality significantly for season 2! Thank you for your comments regarding the editing and comedy!
@TaskmasterMN excellent! I look forward to it once I finish season 1.
This is just the dopest thing in the world. You guys are so cool for doing this and I'm super excited to watch this series :D
Some great, inventive tasks. I've been watching all the Scandinavian series this week (in isolation with CoViD) and they are all fairly to extremely entertaining but they do duplicate a lot of tasks. You've managed to think of fresh ideas, and also ones that you could achieve with everyday means (i.e. without a production runner to go and buy you whatever you asked for). I especially loved the fireworks one because it enabled such diverse solutions.
Thank you very much! I worked very hard on task writing! I was the production runner haha, had to go out and buy lots of materials for tasks like the fireworks one.
@@TaskmasterMN Well, still, I’m sure they had to be much more modest materials than the show can afford, so well done for tasks that could work within that and to the contestants for ideas that could.
@@icturner23 I told them they could feel free to go wild with asking for materials. I don't know if you've seen the rest of the series yet, but there is plenty more fun stuff to come!
This showed up in my recommend videos and it may be the first time the algorithm has found something spot on.
Excellent humour, good editing and funny contestants. Also props to the guy wearing a mask (I suck at remembering names) 😊
Parker's the one wearing the mask. We are all fully vaccinated too!
@@owengage7852 Good to hear 😊
This is absolutely top notch! Everyone on production and the contestants have done an amazing job! Here is hoping for a Season 2
Really enjoyable to watch. I'm certain you enjoyed making it. Very well done!
Hope this grows bigger...!!!
wow, that was so amazing! it's so cool to see how much effort you put into the show and how much you all enjoy it. also i think i have a new favourite taskmaster assistant ;)
literally hooting and hollering at the mark watson cameo!!!! this rules, so much better than taskmaster US!! Great job everybody
really enjoyed this guys!
This is FANTASTIC! Y'all just got a new subscriber.
Just listening to David Ha on Taskmaster The People’s Podcast! Amazing, congrats 👏👏👏
This was a fun watch and glad to have stumbled on it.
Proof that American Taskmaster can be great but the official one just didn't understand why it works
Wow, this was absolutely amazing! The tasks were really creative and so were the contestants. Great job!
P.S. I have a feeling "grape that" is gonna catch on.
I've watched every episode of Taskmaster multiple times, seen all of Taskmaster NZ and I've recently been going through Taskmaster Norway. It was in the youtube comments of TM Norway that I saw somebody mention Taskmaster Minnesota.
I'm very happy to see my own State of Minnesota has it's own show!
Awesome! I hope you enjoy the rest of the series!
I am completely convinced the person responding to your comment and asking what the fucks going on with your channel was an intentional bait to bring people to check it out and I fell for it lol. This looks pretty rad though so I'll watch.
Just found this video through the algorithm, and it’s great! I’m excited to watch the rest of the episodes, and I’m happy you’ve done a season 2!
