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.
Can we take a moment to appreciate that they also make the show accessible and understandable for americans, by using measures like 2 standard cats and half a dalmatian.
Accessible and understandable for Americans....a lower bar each and every day
@@dgc1243 Lol, I am American and I approve this message. The amount of relief I had when he said the 2 1/2 cats and 20 mice.
1 kilo is about 2 pounds. It’s a little more but it’s not important
@@mace2172 Right. Like ah yes! So glad when Alex converts to our standard units of measurements.
@@flanigans1029 omg how did you know what I say to myself every time I gain a kilo? :)
You could not have scripted Vine's hook debacle better if you tried.

6:53 "you may have to FASHION your own hook" that was a genius hint from Alex

Watching Tim Vine’s hookgate is much more entertaining than the actual task.
Very much so
It's hilarious here, but getting hooked to death is probably one of the worst ways to cause an industrial accident!
Remember folks: If your PPE has anything to grab onto, it's not PPE--but a snare trying to get you. That's not Superstition; that's Science!
I swear, if he was trying to do that, he wouldn't succeed in 200 years. Fucking destiny.

The hook falling in slow motion broke me, I laughed like a demented dying seal.
Popular to contrary belief, seals remain surprisingly lucid even in their final moments before death
yesplease not if they’re demented
So like Jimmy Carr?
Demented and dying...poor guy

“Bag must hang unassisted” so like, we just gonna ignore the fact the bag was assisted by the bucket handle?
By that logic, The gaffa tape assisted Tim Vines bag as well
Inanimate objects cannot assist anything. Only people assist.
@@nvckels140 the only difference is that one actually mattered and got her into first place. It’s a comedy show, so it’s not really that serious. But the buckets handle will support 100% of the weight put inside it until that bucket or handle breaks. The bag isn’t supporting anything in the bucket, it is only surrounding the bucket. This isn’t a “by that logic” argument. It is just general fact stated. But I mean, if you wanna DQ the guy in last place too, that’s fine.
@@ObjectsInMotion actually, that isn’t technically correct. A rope assists you in climbing a mountain. A straw assists you in drinking water. You get in a car and it assists you in moving from point A to point B. Turning assistance is even a term used for cars. And hell, an AI robot which is technically lifeless can assist you.
@@bloodelfreku It is against the rules that Vine got a point, it is against the rules that the bucket hangs on its handle. Greg is an absolutist ruler. Bending the rules is always hit or miss when it comes to his decisions, but by letting some get through, there is at least a reason to do something unconventional. And let's face it - everybody doing the tasks the correct way and one just being best is just boring.
At first I thought he put the hook there then forgot about it. But reality was far, FAR more interesting!
Even the universe wants to join the Taskmaster games.

I can't get over the way Alex gently fondled Alice's bag.
He was heating up for the stage task with the flowers...
Steadyyyy
Time for some adverts🥵

Taskmaster: The bag must hang unassisted
Liza: **puts bucket handle on hook**
Taskmaster: Liza got the most in the bag. 27kg!
Task: Make a thing to vanish. Biggest object to vanish wins.
Mawaan Rizwan makes a palm-size cow vanish, while others make an actual couch or Alex Horne disappear.
Taskmaster: Mawaan wins 5 points.
@@MinekEzQM the taskmaster is the one who decides, the rules dont matter
Yeah and it was stupid. I would've just knotted the bag into a rope and used the shovel to hang myself on it. A knotted bag would be able to withstand the weight of a human easily.
I mean it was never assisted. There was just not Only a bag hanging on it. It's Alex's fault for taking into account more than the bag. The bag surely weighed less.
@@marz6770 "Make this plastic bag as heavy as possible." If you hang a bucket on the hook, you're adding bucket weight directly to the hook and not adding weight to the bag. Irrelevant that it isn't 'assisting the bag'.
I still think about how if not for Tim's absurdly bad luck, he probably would have won this task. And that would have been a five point swing (+4 for him, -1 for Liza). Considering he lost to Liza by 6 points in the overall series, it really could have made a huge difference.
Yeah well, luck is a fickle lady
Nah, I think he put too much in his bag and it would have ripped anyway. Just putting tape on the handles doesn't make the rest of the bag more sturdy.
But he ripped the bag though. Hanging it on a thin piece of metal would've even ripped it faster. I think filling the bag with water was a genius idea to be honest. The other girl could've probably filled it a little more. The other bag was leaking because the woman put other objects in it with sharper edges which created weak points. Only water wouldn't create weak points.
@@twomz Well, if he hadn't spent so much time looking for the hook, he could have taken a bit more time to make sure the bag was hanging on properly.
But @feasible in the end it's all just guesswork. There's loads of tasks where, if just one thing had gone a little bit differently, the point would have changed ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ And especially if the points are really close, almost every task could 'have made a huge difference'.
I can easily imagine it would have broken anyway, but I expect if he had 10 minutes extra (that he would have had if he hasn't been looking for the hook), he would have realised it was going to break and that's more than enough time to basically gaffa tape the whole bag up.
The thing is, the reinforced bad handles, the extra capacity.. if not for the blasted hook.
And yet, the bag ripped under the weight anyway
could of just rolled the bag up and folded it onto itself then rolled it again and hung from it with that much layering the bag should be able to hold at least 90 kg up wards of 150 pounds
nah, the handles were reinforced insufficiently, they usually tear where they connect to the bag
needed to reinforce it underneath by attaching the handles under the bag. I would have twisted the bag into a rope and then tied it to something heavy (I think there was a bike on the shed) and then hung stuff off the bike.
@@bmomosaik yup I was thinking twisting it up as a rope and using my own weight lol.
>Tie bag into loop
>Suspend yourself from the ladder
>Put your foot in loop
>Slowly lower your weight onto foot
>Profit
It has to be able to hang there for a full minute
@@MrsFundy-xq4ek Don’t see the problem. The task doesn’t say that it has to be at the same weight for a minute right. Just that it has to hang
@@MrsFundy-xq4ek you can just go under it lay down on the ground and hold the tied bag
Tie bag into loop. Iron to melt and reinforce plastic. hang from loop for a minute straight if you can.
Yeah my first thought was ‘well you can just hang onto the hook yourself alongside the bag’. But making it a sort of rope to hang onto is more in the spirit of things.
Alex Horne saw the hook on Tim's shirt, saw Tim having a steady mental breakdown while looking for the hook for 15 minutes, and thought 'it will make great TV if I just don't tell him' and that's why he's the best at his job.
Would Liza not have been disqualified as the bucket which contained the water was also hanging from the hook and it wasn't just the bag unassisted?
Came looking for this comment lol i was thinking the same thing .
The bucket didn't assist the bag, but also didn't make it heavier, therefor the bucket should have just not been counted
@@MDP1702 And anything within the bucket.
Liza often "cheated" per say on her tasks and wasn't called out for it, the way they did with other contestants. There have been so many times when they show a contestant banging out a task and then BOOM show something that DQ's them or will put them at the bottom - but they so rarely, if ever, do that to Liza when they should. And there are multiple tasks where this happens with her.
The hook is genuinely one of the most gut wrenching bits of television I've ever seen. Nobody should have to go through that, especially when he's the only one smart enough to reinforce the bag T-T
If they had twisted the bag into a rope, it would have been able to hold anything they could have tied to the hook, at least 25 kilograms.
It's not allowed
@@tsaqifammarsakti7825Why not?
@@davidallen111 just watch the video again
@@tsaqifammarsakti7825 If twisted into a rope the bag would be :

Tha hook really kept him hooked
Cringe
He got really hung up there didnt he?
Alex you are incredible! Thank you so much for bringing this to TH-cam! It’s made the last few months so much better and easier to get through
I misread the title as "make the plastic bag as happy as possible" and I must say I'm a bit disappointed :(
Yeah so is the plastic bag :/
@@DJDing23hahaha XD
The plastic bag got fondled at 5:05 so it must've been pretty happy.
Was really hoping someone would make the bag 'heavy' by just writing on it:
"This plastic will outlive you and all the dolphins it kills to make your life slightly easier."
Was expecting for someone to write an actual weight measure but damn that's way heavier
That's why I make sure to burn all my plastic, I'm environmentally conscious that way.
or just write 1000kg on it? or just put something in another, stronger bag and hang it so that it is inside the plastic bag but still weighing down
@@JohnSmith-hp9ds ? That extremely poluant to burn plastic ! Recycle or reuse it my man...
@@cortexavery1324 That's the funny
Twist bag into 'rope' 2 feet long. Tie ends together into a loop. Hang your loop over hook to satisfy requirements. Hang pretty much anything from that loop, rather than the flimsy handles of the bag. It never said you had to use the bag as a container, just that it had to hang freely from the hook.
May we please have a compilation of Greg backhandedly introducing the adverts?
As long as we can also get a compilation of Alex's unconventional measurements.
@@MikeDCWeld omg yes please
Lisa had the handle of the BUCKET ON THE HOOK.
Liza hang the bucket itself on the hook, as seen at 4:40
So technically the bag didn't hang unassisted, which breaks the rules of the task.
Agreed
A bit of leeway, this is taskmaster not a trial
@@galaxspace1 Oh I'm not mad about it. Points are meaningless anyways, and it was a cool task. :) Just pointed it out.
No breaking of rules. The bag itself hang unassisted. She just hung an additional object on the hook. So by my interpretation, the bucket and its content did not contribute to the weight of the bag. I would have subtracted the bucket (and its content) weight from the total of 27kg, but of course I am not the TM or even little Alex. :)
@@galaxspace1 You think trials ought to give less leeway than taskmaster ?!?!?!?!?!?!?! Trials are way more life impacting and important than taskmaster, it therefore is taskmaster that can allow itself to not be giving any leeway whatsoever... Not a trial...
Tim Vine mightn't have won the task, but he's won our bloody hearts! Brilliantly funny.
none of them noticed that at no point in the rules did it state you needed to put anything IN the bag, only that it had to hang unassisted.
my solution: roll up the bag length-wise, tie it into a loop, place the tied section on the S-hook, hold onto the loop and hang off it. good luck beating that.
Interesting thesis.
Yea, the bag had to be heavy. Naturally, you'd put things into the bag to make it heavy.
Now, if we'd twist the bag into a rope, and let for example, the bucket hand from it, we'd have a stury object to be filled with heavier things.
Now the question is, would this be considered the bag being heavy, or not.
Oh wow that hook falling perfectly is a one in a million!
What about the "unassisted" part? The bucket handle was holding most of the weight -.-
The bucket wasn't assisting the bag, however everything inside the bucket didn't make the bag heavier either, but was still counted to the total. The weight of the bucket should have been detracted from the overall weight.
@@JamesD-iw6pr I know, this doesn't change what I said, maybe read it again
@@JamesD-iw6pr If you know what I meant, you wouldn't have responded to me the way you did.
@@JamesD-iw6pr Or in others words you didn't read my first comment correctly and now just don't want to admit it? Gotcha.

I saw the notification for this video and almost choked to death screaming the hook! The hook!
I had about a two minute fit of laughter near the end of this video. For the love of god give that man a point for effort!
I just noticed an issue with the scoring. When reporting back the weights, Asim is at 16 kg 2:40 and Alice at 20 kg 5:40, but at the end of the show, Asim gets 4 points. 9:30
I noticed that too.
"start with a football."
A very large and light item? Good job.
It's impossible to watch this series and not develop a crush on Alex.... er Alice.... yes Alice.😳
Alice is really cute, that's for sure.
I'm confused. LAH said that Alice had 20.5kg and that Asim had 16, but Asim still got second. He must have misspoke. I'm guessing that Alice had 12.5 not 20.5, as that seems closer to 2 cats and 20 mice.
This was just brilliant!
Should have thought it was scripted, but apparently it wasn’t. I first thought he hang it there just temporarily.
Often the loosers gets the most entertainment.
She cheated by putting the BUCKET ON THE HOOK
She often cheated and didn't get called out for it, it was no surprise when she won the season.
I was just thinking "he's underneath the scale, wrong spot to o things. Something might go wrong"
That hook panic gave me 2nd hand anxiety
The hook was amazing. He couldn’t have done that on purpose if he tried!
The hook getting there is funny as hell
I am so glad they decided to use the American measurement system so I could understand.
I think the best play would be get the hose. Water is surprisingly heavy, and would have perfectly even weight distribution. Maybe even dissolve a whole bunch of salt into it, dump the salt in while the hose runs. Would be undoubtedly the winner.
Yeah this was my first thought too
why the salt?
Yeah why the salt ?
These bags are rated for a specific max weight (usually 10kg or 15kg, the newer recyclable materials are usually on the weaker side), that should be specified on them. Liza circumvented that by actually hanging the bucket by its handle. Adding gaffer tape to the handles was also quite a good idea to increase the bag's durability.
i've rewatched tim's attempt at this task so many times and it never gets old
1. Get rid of the height, so lower the bag almost all the way to the ground, that's why they used pallets.
2. Fold the bag as many times as possible, braid it or twist it and increase the bags tensile strength.
3. Use sand or gravel to fill the bag progressively and fill it to it's full extended volume.
Maybe one of this ideas work, or perhaps a combination of all.
Wouldn't be the plastic weight gaining weight, would be the stuff on/in the plastic bag adding weight.
They interpreted the task as "Make the weight display the highest possible weight without using anything other than the plastic bag to hold objects and without using anything else to reduce the load on the bag," which is not the task. The task is to make the PLASTIC BAG heavier, which you can only do by changing the gravitational factor. Speed also affects weight, so you could increase the weight of the bag by having it fall downwards. You can imagine it as a rock having a greater weight (momentarily) when you drop it on top of a weight from a height, than if you just lay the rock on the weight in a stable position.
so your on the right path but dont fill the bag just laydown on the ground and hold the bag from both ends after you have braided it and folded it. the bag should have no problem holding upwards of 150 pounds
As an american, I appreciate Alex including my country's system for the weights.
Oh don't you worry. They actually weigh themselves in stone...
When I first spoke with a brit about his weight I thought he was trying to take the piss out of me. :D
I saw that shed and I immediately thought "get a shovel, dig a hole and fill the bag with dirt" with the bucket 'trick' anyone could have easily gotten over 30kg
As a person who does backpacking-style camping, it fascinates me how many people don't realize how fucking heavy water is compared to most objects. My backpack feels great until there's 3L of water on it, then it's the heaviest thing in the world
I like at 6:33 they don’t show you the hook falling
Bonus points that they *do* show the hook at 6:47 . Makes me think of those kids shows (e.g., Dora the Explorer) where the character asks the audience if they can find an object.
The hook had already fallen before 6:33. It fell when he was putting bricks in the bag, not reinforcing it.
@4:32 exactly you can clearly see that the bucket was hanging from the scale and the bag was simply present. I'm surprised none of the other contestants noticed that.
Wrap the bag around itself a lot and turn it into a cord. And either hang from it, or use it as a handle for a sturdier bag.
Exactly my thought. This should get more upvotes, basic physics.
Yep, must admit it's way better than any ideas that was in the vid or in my head.
It's definitely an interesting interpretation, but the question is, if this would be considered the bag being heavier or not.
The hook wouldn’t have helped anyway the bags handles didn’t meet
They would if he had put them on the hook on the ground and then moved the rest of it up to the scale. It had actual potential, but we will never know.
You can put a bar through the handles and then hang the bar from the hook. He even had the bar ready.
Bruh it's not unassisted with the bucket handle
That's just breaking the rules
Hang the bag as close to the ground as possible, thereby increasing the effect of gravity and making the BAG itself as heavy as possible.
they have not made the bag heavy, they only filled it with heavy objects
That's one reading, but it makes the task itself essentially impossible. In the context of the task, I think "bag" has to be read as "bag and its contents", or else you just get people piling-on layers of tape (and even that would still be questionable). Still, fair point; the wording is ambiguous.
Make the plastic bag the heaviest and the first thing that came to this man's mind is put a ball full of air in the bag
The last guy (idk the names...) was on a very good way to the win, he just had to put the other bags outside of the plastic one....
My immediate thought was to crouch next to the bag and verbally berate it. Make it emotionally heavy.
This was another one of those tasks where they let Liza get away with a blatant bending of the rules and it wasn't pointed out, they way they have with other contestants on the show. Most of her bags weight was being held up by the handle of the bucket, not the handles of the bag, which means her bag was hanging assisted by the bucket. If you watch Liza's season(s), you'll see a lot of tasks where she bends the rules to the point of where another contestant would have normally gotten last place or DQ'd.
Alice was robbed, her approach was the most elegant and didn't need refilling the bag at the end. Using water was definitely a stroke of genius from both ladies.
I think I would’ve rolled the bag into a tube, run it through the opening at the bottom of the scale, and then tied the ends together to make it a ring like structure. Then I’d hang the hook from the bag and put the bucket on the hook and filled it up. My thinking is that this way the bag will have a higher degree of strength just like a braided rope
This was the very first task I ever saw from this show!!
3 1/2 years later and I'm still watching almost every one of their uploads.
It's funny cause I was even just thinking about this vid recently and it got recommended to me
Both the water and the idea of reinforcing the bag are genius!
I like how they all walked by the flower garden full of pebbles
The bag is as heavy as it will ever be at the start, the task isn't to have the heaviest things in the bag but to make the bag itself heavier. Task complete at the start I would say.
It's kind of common sense that you can't make the bag itself heavier, but that "heavy bags" is considered bags being heavy due the stuff they're filled with....
@@MikaeruDaiTenshi Have you watched this show before? Common sense was banished a long time ago.
@@mafuletrekkie @mafuletrekkie Yea I saw many episodes and part of episodes.
I usually enjoy it, as silly as some tasks may be.
But most of the time, they stick mostly to the rules, unless some idea is so extremly ridiculous, that you can interpret the rules differently.
Some even DO use common sense in this show and win by a long-shot. (at least the tasks)
@@MikaeruDaiTenshi Yeah, but that is all part of the fun. I love it when someone on the show gets pedantic and then the "Taskmaster" sides with them.
Put it as close to center of the earth. Will be heavier.
By the fact that Liza came running in like a little girl, could this possibly be right after the final task of series 6? I wonder
One could argue that you can't make the bag itself heavier. It has a fixed mass. You can put things inside it that are heavy, but the weight of the actual plastic bag itself hasn't changed. So they all tied.
After hearing the task, here is what I'd do:
1. Fill the bag with water.
2. Find heavier objects to put into the bag.
3. Win.
(Sidenote: If possible, find another bag, either the same size or a smaller one. The smaller one would be a bit of a cheat though, as it may be "inside" the bag, it wouldn't make the outer bag heavier and instead, would lift some of the weight from the bag, so it won't rip as easy. But since the outer bag doesn't have the weight on it, that's what would make it a cheat. As for the bag of the same size, it would technically not be a cheat, at it would just prevent the outer bag from ripping, but with them being the same size, every weight in the inner bag would be also on the outer one.)
^ Which is why I also believe Liza was kinda cheating, because most weight was distributed on the bucket, rather than the bag around it.
The bag will never change its weight.
♥️
To quote another TM episode "It's called grammar!"
Honestly, measuring by cats isn’t any weirder than measuring by an arbitrary stone 😂
4:33 “bag is supposed to hang unassisted on the hook” she hung the bucket on the hook and filled up the bucket
Tim Vine might be the only contestant that wouldn't get mad at Alex for not telling him 😂
The bag was unassisted, it held itself while the bucket held itself.
Half an octopus is 27 kg? What kind of thick ass octopuses we talking about?
2 years after this comment was made, I came looking for it.
the classic epaulette checkmate
Wait, shouldn't Alice be in 2nd (20.5 kg), with Asim in 3rd (16 kg)?
Yes you would think so, did they get it wrong in the show?
I think that was just a mistake
Thank you. I was searching for this comment.
I'm guessing they said Alice's wrong and it weighed 10.5 kg, because Russel's 10 kg bag weighed 2 cats and her bag weighed 2 cats and 20 mice. I looked up the weight of a mouse and 20 mice weigh around 500 grams.
According to the phrasing of the question... It is physically impossible. The task is to make the bag itself heavier. The wording should be more, "make the scale go up by placing items in the bag".
This may just be my ADHD, but isn’t the bag already as heavy as it can get?
Feels like the bucket and the gaffer tape are very much assisting the hanging of the bag, which was clearly forbiden 0:24.
I guess they thought it clear that only human assistance was taken into account.
The one with the bucket was almost a genius. Put the bucket in the bag with the handle also on the hook. Fill up the bucket completely. THEN add water to the bag. The bucket handle is highly unlikely to break even if the bucket is full of water.... and ALL of the water would technically still be in the bucket!
Best way would’ve been to tie the plastic bag with the bottom looped through the handles, and then attach something onto that loop that you made or pushed down with your own weight. Plastic looped like that is extremely strong. Could easily hold 50 kilo
yeah just roll and fold the bag, and then hold it from each side as the layering will make the plastic very strong and then just hang from it could easily hold a person up
Bucket+water=HEAVY. Good job, ladies!
Alice was on the right track, but she should have tried to also put heavier objects inside. The water distributes the weight and hopefully prevents the bag from ripping, but the water is not enough.
a quick google search, typically plastic bags can range from 13-20kg whereas retail ones goes from 20 to 28kg, she was at maximum weight so good work!
as long as whatever you're hanging on the hook is hanging over top the handle, then the bad is techincall supporting it
2:46 my Dalmatian is very offended right now, because she only weighs 27 kg and is therefore a whole standard cat away from weighing 32 kg!
Hahaha I was going to make a joke about where do I find a 54kg octopus... then I found out that’s about the average size. Thanks TM. I learned something today. Had no idea
Huh? Only the giant octopus weighs as much - and you're not likely to encounter that monster. Regular species are not even 10Kg heavy.
What sort of monster-ass octopi has Alex been hangin' around?
Hahahahahahahahahahaha!!! So awesome. Where's the hook? I wouldn't be able to find that either 😂😂
3:40 'I ain't happy, I'm feelin' glad. I got sunshine in a bag.'
4:03 Yeah, never mind.
Well nobody technically made the bag any lighter or heavier than it was when it started.
Taping the bag was quite an ingenious idea.
They must still be using the old thick bags in the UK. Here in Montreal, when they made them much thinner 10-15 years ago for the environment (which I fully support), there's no way they would have held a quarter of what those did. Now they're completely banned for environmental reasons and have been for years, which I fully support.
My first thought hearing this task was ‘how the bloody hell am I gonna hang the house off that scale?’
I would've tied the bag in a loop to make the whole thickness the strength it can suspend, and then kneel, put my arm through the bag and max the scale with my body weight.
Fold the bag as many times as possible.
Put it around the hook an hang onto it.
I would have put several concrete blocks in it, set it on the ground, then fashioned the scale to still attach to the bag.
Doesn’t say the bag has to be in the air nor that you can’t alter the position of the scale hook.
“A bag of rice and a Crystal hall.” So the concept of subsistence eating and the heady weight of knowing the future… heavy stuff indeed.
first thing i thought was defining what it means for the bag to be heavy. i would find the heaviest thing i could tie to the hook using the plastic bag and call it the bag holding it up.
Tim Vine sounds like Boris Johnson sometimes.
