This show feels like a punishment you'd be sentenced to in Hell for being too hubristic about your spelling ability. Also gives me the same vibes as pretty much any SNL skit where Bill Hader plays a game show host
After watching season 2 of NZ Taskmaster (thank you official UK youtube channel) I actually know some of these people. I feel like a whole new world of comedy shows have opened up for me. It's going to be a busy week.
Some wonderful soul uploaded the series on TH-cam and it has been giving me so much joy. And since it got taken down, this compilation is a wonderful short taste of it. Thank you!
3:32 is so perfect, the way she flies through the spelling like she's had it memorised for decades The crowd impressed and applauding Guy happily yelling INCORRECT over their cheers 🤣
i just found out about taskmaster nz a couple of days ago. and now i’m invested into this show. is after watching this. the part with guy williams trying to spell feliz navidad is everything and so much more!!
As someone also in Canada, it’ll be hard 🥲 some wonderful soul just uploaded them to youtube so you can hopefully catch it before it disappears or if you have a vpn it’s all up on the threenow app
I so wish this had Courtney attempting to spell Questionnaire to get a pair of Beats for a teenager, spelling 'Questionaire', and as soon as the last e leaves her mouth immediately shouting *NO* in indescribable anguish
Can someone explain this to someone who has never seen the show. Is it just a spelling bee? I'm not trying to sound mean or be judgemental, just checking if I'm missing something. When they have to spell something like coward... ia there a catch? Or do they deliberately pick contestants who struggle with spelling? I did notice the coward guy said something about separating cow and ard since everyone knows how to spell cow and he knows how to spell ard. Seems like I'm missing something about how the game works
The catch of the show is that it’s a semi-regular spelling bee on the first round and then it goes off the rails. On the first round the contestants pick if they want an easy word randomly picked from the cowards cup for one point (like coward or guitar), a regular word from the person’s purse for two points (like misspell or gargoyle), or a hard word from the bucket of bravery for three points (onomatopoeia or kaleidoscope). Asking Guy for language of origin, sentence or definition does not help in any round, he does his best to make the contestant more confused with the answers. All rounds after that are insane and change every episode. Sometimes they have to spell words that have the same pronunciation but different spellings with no clues as to which one they’re actually supposed to spell, or spell a word that was written by a six year old and having to guess if the kid spelled the word right or what mistakes they made if they didn’t. There’s spelling words in different languages, being given an acronym and being ask to spell out what it stands for, spelling the names of random people in the audience and watching the contestants fight the urge to just pick old white dudes, or asked to pick an object at random and guy chooses an adjective for that object that they gotta spell (you could end up with unhygienic or with big, and there are no clues ever as to what it’ll be). It’s just a silly show about spelling silly words and allowing comedians to be goofy
@@OwlRTA Found out a bit later that that's the case. But ... Same thing! (No, of course not ... but needling my NZ and AU friends with that, as well as terribly overblown accents, never really gets old...)
“H A L L O U M I. Halloumi.”
“That is not how you spell…
Uruguay.”
💀💀
Found you
The Feliz Navidad section is one of the funniest things that's ever been on television
Especially because GuyMont said Prosperous Anus
"Can I have the language of origin?"
"Spanish, dickhead"

The “What’s that Name” game came to mind where people have to say the name of people in their lives 🤣
That's a lot of NZ Taskmaster contestants.
Tbf New Zealand has like 8 people
@@evah4431bit unfair… I counted at least 12
Take out the cast members of Series 1-4 and I guess that leaves us with the cast of Series 5...?

That's Montgomery for the win!
I've never heard of this show before but I'm already entirely invested
I think all of the episodes are uploaded on TH-cam because I binge watched it about a month ago.
@@shoredude2😮
This is how I felt when I first saw Taskmaster, and am definitely feeling it here.
There's a pandemic episode with Paul F Tompkins (and other great ppl) that I highly recommend.
I love every single time that Guy Williams threatens to fight the entire audience in the car park.
"no wait Ctrl-Z"
This guy is on a higher plane of existence
If you haven't seen his diss track from Taskmaster NZ, you haven't lived. David Carreos is an absurdly wonderful human being.
I really wish _"Ctrl-Z"_ was as accepted in real life spoken situations as it was in this clip
I feel like David Carreos takes psychic damage just…going to the shops
There are so many unhinged David Correos moments in this show. His being excited about getting the easiest name to spell is the best one.
New Zealand panel shows are truly next level
Only the recent ones, they were very mid for a very long time
Yep, next level down - sub basement.

Same feeling here, it's wonderful
the 'beg' always gets me lmao
"prospero ano" lmao
A prosperous anus 😂😂😂
i don't think i've ever seen guy williams standing up, and i am absolutely flabbergasted
have you never watched Taskmaster? He's standing up during every task
I saw him live recently and can confirm he's like 6'1
oh let's gooooo best show on television. i will NEVER get over valice lavidad
That was some hot Guy on Guy action.
There are approx 30 nz comedians and like a fifth of them are twins, what da hell
This is utter chaos and I am here for every moment of it
This is very organic sounding studio audience laughter
Some wonderful soul uploaded the series on TH-cam and it has been giving me so much joy. And since it got taken down, this compilation is a wonderful short taste of it. Thank you!
I can confirm, from my viewing of the first episode of season 2, the unhingedness level is at or above season 1's lmao
God bless I cannot wait. Thank you for this update
When and where did you see that? I didn't think season 2 had released yet.
@@watcherofwatchers i guess the live taping? tickets were out earlier
@@watcherofwatchers I was in the audience for the first episode of season 2 last November
That David guy looks like he could borrow someone’s job and steal their paycheck for the month
And maybe catfish a electronics store manager.
And is a master car mechanic.
Oh the irony of the criticism of the badly spelled feliz navidad and then saying prospero ano (anus) instead of año (year)
Don’t everyone wish people a prosperous anus?
I'm wondering if prospero ano still qualifies as a blessing or if it's more of a curse.
They're from NZ. They can't even pronounce English words correctly.
I'm saying prospero ano from now own idc
It should be próspero too. Stress on the first syllable.
This got me to watch the show and I have been loving it!
I’m glad i could inspire you to experience the chaos firsthand
I'm so glad someone made a compilation this show is awesome as are you
7:35 the look of disappointment
So happy to have Correos on so I can bring back my tmnz s2 mantra of "Oh David..."
this video got me into GMGMSB so thank you!
i love this show with my whole heart
I watch this compilation at least once a month. Highly anticipating the second series!
I love this show so much!
I think they’re filming season 2. Can’t fuckin’ wait. Great video.
Aw man I hope so I love this show
The first episode filmed on the 6th. I know this because I was in the audience, and it was great lmao
omg I only knew about Guy Montgomery from Till Death Do Us Blart it feels so surreal to see him not talking about the Shadow Man
and then Tim showed up too!
Oh my god thank you, I was looking for this comment. Inconceivable to me that this man does real entertainment as well.
3:32 is so perfect, the way she flies through the spelling like she's had it memorised for decades

The show is a delight as is this edit
TH-cam suggested this and i do not know where i am but i like it
2:07 … okay now I gotta go find this episode because he just said “anus” in Spanish and I need to find out if anyone told him.
They didn’t, but that has been giving me giggles at work Christmas parties for years!
Is this meant to be a taskmaster spin off or are there just that few kiwi comedians
the latter lmao
What you have to remember is that there are only 2 dozen people in Australia max so eventually they're all conscripted to go on every TV show
@@corg_9939 Australia is actually a different country from New Zealand
It's a small country!
There's only 5.1 million people in the country of New Zealand. For comparison, the city of Sydney, Australia has a population of 5.3 million.
I’ve only ever seen the Covid version of this show the Guy posted online! I will have to see if it’s possible to watch from Canada
As someone also in Canada, it’ll be hard 🥲 some wonderful soul just uploaded them to youtube so you can hopefully catch it before it disappears or if you have a vpn it’s all up on the threenow app
I don't suggest you look up ozmartian 👀
What a perfectly edited ending!
and i watched an episode a few nights ago and they appear to be all gone now.
It pains me that he is married
What the bloody hell is this and why isn't it on my television!
I so wish this had Courtney attempting to spell Questionnaire to get a pair of Beats for a teenager, spelling 'Questionaire', and as soon as the last e leaves her mouth immediately shouting *NO* in indescribable anguish
Chimney 😀
this video will serve until i, a reluctant American, can watch it legally. no complaints.
"ozmartian", don't look them up to avoid illegality 👀
there are tears everywhere send help
im going to a taping for s2 and i cant wait
so am I!
If you guys don’t become better spellers then you ought to get your money back.

"Guy, I don't know what's real!" Relatable.
im a simple man, i see david correos i click
Idk why but NZ comedians are just the funniest
I bet magic the noah watched this show at least once.
that's not a real person

Is Other Guy actually that tall or did they make him stand on a box or something as a bit?
guy williams is legitimately like 6’6 and next to angella who is quite short it just makes it sillier
His name is Guy Williams and he is indeed just that tall
@@lilibee_ Angella is 5'3".

Big what?
he said beg 😂 took me a few watch lmao
@@ace4vexI've sort of adjusted to the "shid" thing after the first season of TM NZ but without context it's still surprising. Thank you :)
At 4:58, what does the word "pukia (spelling?)" mean?
pakeha is the maori word for non-maori people, so white, pink
@@cuttygrassThanks!
Back in time to the 70's. Even the comedy is 70's. Scripted oddly satisfying but equally naa
Avant garde game show? Yes please! Bit less posh than the British odder quiz shows, bit more Oz. Dig it
it's a Kiwi show, not an Oz show

what am i missing? why dont these adults know how to spell basic words?
Some of them aren't really trying because it is a comedy show, several have dyslexia, some are just dumb.
now you know why they're in comedy 😉
