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.

Mae is the exact mix of chaotic goblin and just a lil guy energy that I hope to embody.
Except that Mae performed well with most of these tasks because they think everything through logically, and un-chaotically, because they are an intelligent perfectionist with highly developed frontal lobe executive functionality. But other than that, sure!
@@daniellamcgee4251 ok grandpa
the whole throw or not throw was the most hilarious debate ever
The definition of cast leading back to throw is so funny, you can't write something like that
@@quinnly23 someone did write it tho... its in the dictionary, thus having been written lol i know what you mean haha truth stranger than fiction :)
As an extremely pedantic person, the debate after Mae's drum task was my favorite segment of the entire season.
I love how Frankie's arguments inadvertently got Mae the points in both the "Single Throw" and "Pineapple" tasks
I enjoyed watching Mae. While it's always fun to watch the people who don't really know what they're doing and manage to fail in spectacular ways, there's something quite satisfying about someone like them turning up and being great at pretty much everything through the series.
When you say them, do you mean 'people' or 'Mae'?
@@EricBrettJones I was going with people I guess. I'd put Dara on that list too.
Maybe don't overthink it though, eh?
@@EricBrettJonesin that particular sentence, how could it possibly mean 'people'?
It wouldn't really make sense to say "someone like people turning up", so I'm pretty sure "they" is clearly being used as a singular pronoun.
EDIT: nvm, I see the ambiguity now, ignore me
@@cirusa12 Honestly, it's a throwaway comment on a youtube video. If I thought people were going to analyse my word usage, I would have put a little bit of effort into it.
Look at the other posts of the guy you are replying to, he's a not very nice person trying to cause drama because he's unhappy in life. Ignore him, you'll be better for it.
@@vonwux fair haha. initially couldn't tell if he was trolling or genuinely confused, but his comment history suggests you're right.
Actually I reread your comment and realised I was right the first time, 'they' couldn't plausibly have meant 'people' because 'people' was referring to 'people who fail' as opposed to 'competent people like Dara/Mae'. So there wasn't really any ambiguity with your original sentence, though it could be misinterpreted if not read carefully.
But as you say, it was a throwaway comment
Opened the comments with great trepidation and was pleasantly surprised 😌
Mae thinking of and finding so many hidden tools must have just delighted the task design team
Task design team: Tim Key + whiskey.
"i beaver away...famously" xD
My favourite part of that quote is easily the beat before “famously” where they’re clearly debating if they should finish the joke lol
What I've found is that the show is optimised for out of the box thinking, they bring in comedians for that for the comedy but also it allows for us to see how their brains will take a situation and try to solve it
Mae did an incredible job in using that to their advantage with what they know and can do, all while keeping some comedy involved
You know, looking at Greg as the imposing Taskmaster figure, he actually acts more like a referee. He has to make a judgment call knowing it's going to upset some people. Is this a foul? Is this a pineapple? I think he made the right call on the pineapple. You have to reward creativity when there is doubt. I like the creativity in drawing the pineapples. That's the reason why I like this show so much because it promotes problem solving, creativity and keen observation. I would never have thought to draw the pineapples but they are no different than any of those other pineapples that aren't literally pineapples, just things that look like a pineapple.
The hotreading medium one was too good
I thought they were using genuine cold reading techniques. Contacting Alex's wife made it fake fakery, and that put the attempt on a whole other level.
Also staying in contact with Alex's wife made it all that more wholesome.
@@doublelxp Hot reading is when the "psychic" uses information about the subject someone else has given them without the subject's knowledge.
@@SnarlinBeast That whole task is forever tainted in my eyes due to 5 points NOT being awarded to the 'toilet paper mummy' fakery from Ivo.
Alex was _genuinely_ fooled and impressed.
On their own, Mae might not have been the most fascinating contestant to ever be on the show (and let’s be honest every series has that one contestant that seems to just nail every task) but they were easily the best springboard for the other panelists to create great moments: the string debate, the pineapple debate, and Frankie telling his childhood story about his snowman drawing after seeing what Mae did with an umbrella, all feel like, to me, stand out moments of not just the series but the show as a whole.
And when all is said and done, Taskmaster lives and dies by the cast’s chemistry in the studio so anyone responsible for getting those reactions, is a 10/10 contestant in my books.
Then I guess I’m foolish and petty 🤷♀️. What’s it to you?
the pinapple task's banter is the PINNACLE of TM. It always gets to me!!
in no other environment does that comment get 9 likes (and no i will no be editing to update the number)
@@russellmz Its at 31 now
Some people out here not understanding what makes the show work. If everyone was just taking the piss and not ever doing good or getting into the competition, it would just be a fucking sketchshow
it’s hilarious that people are still mad about the throw thing. greg called it, get mad at him lol not a contestant for giving it a go. or don’t get mad at anyone because it’s a comedy show lmaao
I love Kiell and all but I'd love to see Mae return one day!
Mae with an egg in their mouth at 14:59 is my new wallpaper.
I really enjoyed that no matter the task, Mae would make a genuine attempt.
I love Mae, but I will never understand categorizing Mae's drum attempt as one throw when there were literally dozens of other throws and yanks in there. Absolutely crazy.
The task said single throw; I would categorize anything that Mae did after the initial toss were more of jerks, yanks, and swings.
It was categorised as a throw purely to enrage Kiell, and I support that
Did you complain about the bouncy ball task too? Two people used a net and bounced the ball on the ground over and over and it counted, same thing.
The first thing I thought of regarding the drawn pineapples was the famous drawing of a pipe and the words "Ceci N'est Pas Une Pipe" (this isn't a pipe). I feel like that's a pretty well known example of the philosophical point the three were trying to argue, they just couldn't put it into words. Although it could just as easily be argued that none of the things that Alex prepared were actually pineapples, they were just 3D depictions of pineapples as opposed to 2D drawings.
I think the group of three would have better success arguing that in the instruction "pile the pineapples", the word 'the' suggests they're dealing with some specific pineapples and not just any pineapples.
@@Jcorry123 That's a really good angle as well! The task definitely assumes preexisting pineapples.
@@kralevic3297 but by that logic, only one pile of pineapples (presumably the ones in the lake) should count, while the same pineapples off to the side wouldn't, even though they were and were clearly the intended 'loophole' solution
and while I'm sure Frankie would've been happy to argue about the nature of language for an hour, there wouldn't have been enough time for the rest of the tasks
Me too! I thought of exactly that!
They're one of my favourite comedians!!! I was so stoked when they were announced for Taskmaster, made infinitely better when they turned out to be a great damn contestant 🥳🥳🥳
Also their dad needs to make more of those greg puppets, amazingly creepy
No speaky the English?
@@markcutting6504 can you not read and use common sense? 😂
@@markcutting6504 No havey the brain?
No user the grammar.fuk in motions
Mae Martin brilliance and giant spakly blue eyes made me fall in love 😍😍😍
my favourite pairing/growing relationship shown this series had to be between Mae and Alex's wife! absolutely amazing to watch
This was such an excellent series. The cast members were terrific!
I like Mae's out of the box thinking and how it infuriated the other contestants especially Kiell 😂
Mae is such a nerd, I love them
I love Mae. They are amazing.
@12:50 mae was totally gonna say "been in cahoots" and decided that was too crazy even for taskmaster lol :)
I'd just like to jump ahead with some positivity before some people bring their insecurities and use hateful language to make themselves feel better.
I thought Mae was brilliant on many of the tasks and I pegged them for the win very early on.
Hear hear. They attract so much vitriol and it's entirely unjustifiable.
I wouldn't have pegged Mae, in fact I would have hoped for quite the opposite.
I hated their drum solution (and them getting the points), but otherwise Mae was one of the best contestants ever and a big reason why series 15 was so great.
When you say, 'making themselves feel better.' , are you referring to the insecure with their hateful language or to Mae?
@@EricBrettJones the insecure. I may be many things, but I will not begrudge someone their right to be known by the pronouns they feel most comfortable with.
Love the pineapple argument 😂😂😂
“In lockdown my dad became gepetto” will always be one of my favorite taskmaster moments lol
There are clear favourites from the show who keep showing up far more than others, more than the most recent series contestants
LOVED Mae in this series! and also just love them when- and wherever
Mae is the best! I think a Canadian Taskmaster with them as the Taskmaster could be so fun!
😂 A polite soft spoken Taskmaster who encourages everyone? Although to be fair I guess that would be pretty Canadian.
@@junbh2 Yeah, it would be very Canadian, but I think that might work for us! But based on their Taskmaster performance I think they would make some fun calls on interesting interpretations of tasks!
that would be really nice, i like that each taskmaster bring their own spin on the role and don't blindly copying the original and having Mae in that role would bring a quite unique spin with it
I really loved their performance. Both awkward and brilliant.
Mae is arguably one of the best contestants ever, both in how they were amazingly entertaining and funny both with the other contestants and Alex + Greg, but also in that they are so clever and sneaky with the tasks and their definitions, and so gets so many classic moments. The pineapple task is a particular highlight for both these points. So good, so fun, and a shining star in one of the best groups of contestants there's ever been on the show
Series 15 was so damn good.
Love everybody absolutely taking the piss out of Mae for their "casting/throwing" technique, only for Greg to give them the points anyways at the end :D
@@linasaidso1355if you can't work it out then I don't have much hope for you.
@@linasaidso1355A quick and painless Google search will tell you that the individual in question, Mae Martin, goes by they/them pronouns. So you referring to them as "her" is actually the foolish part. 😂
@@floatielle2.06 the real question is why did the host and other contestant on house of games with richard osman use she/her pronouns for mae, was it because mae didnt say and they assumed or was it because they decided to ignore them.
@@jaimefernandez2624 when was this? because it might've been before they came out as nonbinary
@@bugbear2357 recorded in 2020 i think.
if anybody from tvnz is here PLEASE put season 15 on tvnz because these clips are making me want to watch it so bad!!!
I. was. so. in. love. with. this cast!!!
There were so many casts I loved so much, in fact pretty every cast. But the cast of Series 15 will always have a special place in my heart
God i love the pineapple discussion
YAYYY I’ve been WAITING for this
Mae absolutely dominated! ❤🇨🇦
The most no-nonsense TM champion there is. I legitimately think if they'd taken part in the CoC they would've mopped the floor with Dara.
John Robins would smoke Mae. She'd get spanked by him.
i have such a crush on them 🫣
Mae made me question my sexuality
I watched this series with a bunch of straight cis women who all expressed some odd feelings about Mae for sure.
@@Riverclan101 as a gay man, I similarly felt conflicted by them.
They were great. The S15 cast in general I thought was really good, carrying a series where I thought the tasks were some of the weakest across the entire show.
Who are you talking about? Which group of people?
@@linasaidso1355A quick and painless Google search will tell you that the individual in question, Mae Martin, goes by they/them pronouns. One would think you would learn from spamming this type of comment.
@@linasaidso1355 it says the S15 cast, so the people in series 15
@@jaimefernandez2624 ignore THEM, it's a bad faith comment in which THEY are an ignorant prick and also bad at english
There is something funny about an egg.
That seems to have been the opinion of Alex and the whole TM team for 17 series now.
Mae was my absolute favourite contestant this series. Absolute chaos personified.
Mae is ny favourite beaver.
Ngl it's so refreshing to see middle aged cis straight (I'm assuming) men like Greg Davies and Alex Horne using they/them pronouns for Mae.
Greg has hinted on many occasions that he is in fact bisexual.
@@stewroo ooh didn't know that! good for him :)
An I the only one who would have liked the Champion of Champions 'sequel' to the Pinapple debacle included here?
Still really wish i saw them on CoC. I do really think Greg only let them have the drawn pineapples and ball on a string simply because he finds pissing Kiel off hilarious (in either case fair enough hes the TM)
100%, the show has never truly been about who wins, and I love it for that
I love that on the podcast even Mae agreed that those rulings were probably just to annoy Kiell and that, realistically, they shouldn’t have gotten away with either attempt lol
@@jennatodd4664 which podcast? I'd love to listen!
@@baronjutter TaskMaster The Podcast - hosted by Ed Gamble. Mae was on Episode 133 - the one covering the finale of Season 15.
Pixie Dream Girl 😍
Just a reminder out of respect to Mae, you don't have to like them since comedy is subjective, but they go by they/them and not she/her.
I liked Mae as I found them relatable, like they felt like a real person rather than a show-tye personality or TV figure.
What are the other names then. They is a plural, so clearly you’re talking about multiple personality disorder so what other names does the nutterbutter go by?
@@stacktus9158 Just in case you weren't aware (I know English can be a pretty tricky language to learn for the first time!), 'they' can also be used as a singular pronoun - in fact, it occurs quite a lot in everyday modern English. For example, a very common usage would be for talking about someone who you don't know - e.g. if I saw someone post something online, I might say that 'that post of theirs was rather silly!'. Hope this helps - English can be difficult for a beginner, but with time, I'm sure you'll get the hang of it!
Let us not forget singular they has been around since the bar, so clearly it is a thing that isn't even that new fangled@@freswoe
Nice to see some Canadian representation on the show!
Yes!! Finally!🥳
It was always fun, when Mae did something inventive and there were really quite a few these genius moments. Mae deserved the win so much and I enjoyed them so much. Also Kiel was of course awesome in CoC but I really missed Mae and hoped I would see them on Taskmaster one more time.
they’re so funny
Some of them were not so funny
I love Kaiell, but we were robbed by not having more Mae on CoC.
I'm sure this comment section will be normal
I'm not subscribed, didn't get a notification, just opened the app and saw this on my home page. guess it's fate
Mae is a legend, but that was not a throw. Frankie couldn't bring himself to be too sincere about certain things, so he lost points. If he had tried to do it Dara O'Briain style, he could have won, I think. He was focused on good tv. Mae admitted afterwards, they wished they had been a little more focused on being funny. They certainly have the ability.
sure but you can say the same about many people, if rhod gilbert hadnt made all price tasks bad pictures of greg he may have won. or if jo brand gave a shit she may have won. but they decided to be funny even if it meant losing points.
Kiell was great but I can't help but feel Mae was deserved of the win. They put so much effort into every prize task and every task in general.
Mae did win the season. Kiell just went to the champion show cause Mae couldn't make it.
The best!
Do we know why alex is wearing slippers in the breath task?
Alex has worn slippers during a lot of the indoor tasks for many years.
Where's the barge?!
Absolutely loved Mae, but that's not a single throw! Had they threw, reeled it in, and dragged the ball across the drums it would've been fine.
The pineapples on the other hand. Absolute genius
Bring back home challenges.
I just ordered the book Mae's dad wrote about sexcess with seductive cookery. Reviews to come!
There's something funny about an egg...
Only 20 mins of footage? :(
wild that they're now dating a Survivor legend huh
I just Googled it. Wait what? Wait, what? Mae is dating Parvati? I thought she was married to John from Samoa. Wow.
It is so funny when the feeble contestants think it is the logic they present that will result in points or not, when in fact it is how Greg felt about it right then and what he thinks will be better TV.
What does the puppet say?
“I’m so full of hate!”
@@Cosmic_Mj Now I hear it. 😄 Thanks!
They were so good at so many tasks. As much as I love Kiell, I wish we got to see Mae at the Champion of Champions
Imagine i finish watching it nonstop. Mae's thinking is very fast and unique. Its really fascinating to watch her using her brain. Its clever and hilarious😅
'her'?!?!? you're disgusting
Glad to see Rob Beckett’s doing well. TM is something he can really sink his teeth into
more trans contestants on taskmaster please!!!!
But we havent had one in a wheelchair or in a vegetative state yet, cant we have one of those first?
@@user-tm5zb5yf8cshut it
@@user-tm5zb5yf8cWell, how bout you write to Alex Horne about how outraged you are by the lack of comatose contestants
@@somniax-music already did mate, he replied by saying he has to tick the gender ideology box first
@@user-tm5zb5yf8c 👍
My favourit contestant
She's so cute and funny ❤
I know you can't photograph jurors or minors. Judges can say what is and isn't permitted in their courtroom.
Felt a bit disappointed by them considering the hype people had for them appearing on the show. I think Mae even stated that they didn't focus on the comedy that much early on. They seem cool and probably someone I would be friends with but they stuck out like a sore thumb on the series considering everyone else was bringing their A-game.
Nearly every series has someone that isn't exactly... I don't even know how to describe it... maybe in tune with the show? As the series went on they got a little better but I do think they just didn't bring the comedy that was a staple of the show at the point. Actually, thinking about it, the American version was pretty similar. A couple of funny contestants but some that didn't bring much to the table in terms of laughs. Most American reality shows are more competitive compared to English shows that are more performative.
I'm probably thinking about it too much but I still enjoy series 15, I just wish Mae had shown a bit more of the comedy that I've seen them do outside of the show.
It was the Lord
They fall into the group of lovely person but painfully bland contestant
Bland like beans on toast? 😂
I'm just kidding, I'm not trying to ruin a national dish
I really like them, espacially because they are such a great contrast to who we usually have on the show
@@noname-vf1ftToast sandwiches bland
If all five were wacky it would be to the detriment of the show. You need one boring or bland or dry person for the others to bounce off of and play straight man for the rest of the cast. Or two, sometimes.
She singlehandedly ruined a whole season. I'm glad we don't have to suffer through her performances again.
*they
skipped this season for this reason
Yet you clicked on this video…
@@DobaDave How did they ruin a whole season?
@@patiencekillz Nope. There's only one of her, thank goodness. An embarrassment to all Canadians.
I really enjoyed this series and she was one of the highlights.
mae goes by They/them! :)
She was quite boring though
Yes, Mae was boring. Many people might disagree, but I just didn't find Mae amusing at all, and also winning most things just made this series a yawn-fest.
they* :) and also you don't have to comment every negative thought you have!
Series 15 was a snoozer, luckily 16 and 17 brought back the magic
She was one of the worst!
Almost like she uses pronouns as a substitute for hav9ng a personality
@@wouldntyouliketoknow7844 so you don't have a personality either. Or is he/she not a pronoun anymore?
@DerSim688 she uses they to try and make herself special. I guess lesbian wasn't enough diversity points to boost her lack of talent. So she went to being a they. You can tell from the start of the season she was going to win. Not for her creativity or humor or entertainment value.non binary is a cry for attention
@@DerSim688they is a cry for attention. She's lesbian she jokes about being a lesbian. But switched to they for those bonus diversity points and kudos to her for playing tbe game
@@DerSim688 he or she are pronouns, you are correct. Calling yourself f a they is just a cry for attention from a lackluster comedian
I try to give everyone who appears on the show a chance, but I found Mae to be the most mind-numbingly boring person to ever appear on the show. Didn’t laugh at a single thing they said or did. Everyone else on this series was a delight, especially Jenny and Kiell.
The pineapple workaround still bothers me, I don't think it was in the spirit of the task. Just like Rhod with the lime in the sock, it doesn't feel right or clever, just a cheap cheat
Mae was brilliant she had no idea what she was in for and adapted quickly into a Champion.
Mae goes by They/Them pronouns btw!
Mae was b-b-b-boring!
She embodied the essence of having no idea what the hell is happening and it’s perfect
dullest contestant ever - well, so far
dullest comment ever - well, so far
She's so funny
mae goes by they/them pronouns!
@@sollysolly I bet she does
She is really smart. She thinks outside the box and comes up with her special solutions.
Mae uses they/them pronouns
@@FourEyesFive don't correct the bots. Look at that username and you'll see lots more in the comments of this video with similar names: name+four numbers all using feminine pronouns in a generically positive way. Ignore them.
SHE did really well
Really, capitalising it. What a wanker.
Honestly the most boring contestant in Taskmaster history. Didn't deserve the win and glad Kiell did Champion of Champions.
The least funny contestant they’ve ever had on the show.
She's so pretty.without me googling,who is she?got to season 13 binging but stopped last xmas
15 :)
Fyi, hey are non-binary :)
@@somewherenowhere676 hate to correct you but she has gone on record as not minding what pronouns use to identify her. Stop spreading hate please.
@user-tm5zb5yf8c They are non-binary which doesn't change depending on what pronouns they use. And what hate are you talking about?
@@somewherenowhere676 So why did you pathetically feel the need to state she is non-binary? Its clearly because you didnt know she isnt concerned about pronouns and you're so full of hate that you have to desperately try to put other people down. Its very sad, you should work on and educate yourself.
