Series 13 feels like all 5 contestants are there to win it, but only Chris and Sophie understand the game, so the other 3 lunatics provide entertainment well beyond what they intended.
The fact that Alex walked away leaving Sophie handcuffed in the bath was a bit strange. I guess Alex may have gone back after the shot of the production staff helped.
The editing of the show takes the most time. So much footage is cut, and they can steer the episodes to create underdogs that still win a later episode. And that's part of the magic. To make the losers into winners.
1:24 I cannot get over how amazed by her own idea Bridget was, like she just discovered the secret to immortality, only to ask Alex, "Do you have a gun?"
Sophie standing over a bathtub dressed in a royal robe and cap and reciting Shakespeare whilst Alex stands in the background has the most uncanny cult ritual vibes I've ever seen 💀
One of my favorite things about this series is just how tickled Chris is by everything. He wants to win, but is also having a blast being around the others. 😁
The editor sure gave Chris some help on that one haha, he didn't balance a single thing for more than a second from the looks of it, without the slow-mo and repeated shots from different angles
@@soasertsus Your name comes up as 'Mari' in the notifications, but not in these comments. Weird! Bridget looks so damn cool. In fact she's dressed the same as Lee Van Cleef in the film 'The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly' with Clint Eastwood!
Ardal choosing chin-balancing after Chris did the same is one of the greatest synchronicities in Taskmaster history Edit: And Ardal getting that score is one of the most generous moments in Taskmaster history
I'm still so confused why Alex wasn't using his own hands with the cards for that transition at the beginning because his hands are clearly in his lap. Was it a cardistry hand double and they just cut the actual cardistry? I really want to know.
I played along, but couldn't really think of any 'show off'-worthy things I could do or say. Until I thought of 'showing off' negative things. Like how clumsy, weird or stupid I can be. Then I had a loooong list... Might be time for some therapy.
Wait wait wati... Judi said she's in a 'WhatsUp' group... is WhatsApp supposed to be a play on that phrase? Am I a complete moron for only thinking of this many, many years late?
@@phonotical It's just a transition to the task; a lot of them don't 'explain' themselves. Just look at the one where Alex and Greg are playing chess in the garden and then Greg just eats one of the pieces. I've always taken them to be highlighting the weirdness of the Taskmaster 'realm', task-related or not.

Which makes it even more hilarious when the points were so close 😂
I like to call this series "Oops! All lunatics!"
@@jean-marcrocher1463you should call it “Oops! All Lunatics 2!” since series 7 is the first one
The juxtaposition of Judi gloating and Sophie risking drowning herself is one of the all time great moments from this show

I think every kid that ever went swimming was at a higher risk of drowning themselves
I can't love either of them more after that.
Honestly, 'I can borrow a dog whenever I want' has been randomly running through my head the past couple weeks.
That's just the kind of life she leads!
@@schristopher9269 Hello!
It is the kind of life I lead, I borrow my neighbors dog every day I am home.
He is a lovely dog but I wouldn't own one.
"Lidl's sent me free stuff befooore."
I love Judi Love so much
That's just the sort of life she leads.
@@Tao_Tology and I love that for her
1:24 I cannot get over how amazed by her own idea Bridget was, like she just discovered the secret to immortality, only to ask Alex, "Do you have a gun?"
She needed the gun to test her thoughts of immortality
I want to know what she would have done with it 😆
And a moment later she seemed genuinely surprised when Alex didn't have an axe. 1:36
Sophie standing over a bathtub dressed in a royal robe and cap and reciting Shakespeare whilst Alex stands in the background has the most uncanny cult ritual vibes I've ever seen 💀
And the deadpan look and intonation as she recite a supposedly passionate Romeos monologue.😂😂

I believe he does similar tasks at home without an audience.
I think the hi-vis jacket comment is the funniest thing Ardal said on this show 5:02
'Memory foam mattresses don't work. Mine doesn't remember me'
Love this cast so much but Chris...having the time of his life in every single episode...just a legend in my book!
This series was the absolute best - the combo of Chris, Judi, Sophie, Ardal and Bridget was just classic. Every episode was a banger!
Judi was born to nail this task. Also, her fishfingers must be amazing
Bridget is actually a different breed of human
The editor sure gave Chris some help on that one haha, he didn't balance a single thing for more than a second from the looks of it, without the slow-mo and repeated shots from different angles
Or the editor did him dirty by making you think that
still seemed like he managed to do that for longer than that wooden spoon. Not sure about the ladder though
I think he did all right, but the ladder was very obviously stretched massively
Chris was balancing items on his chin in childhood, from the look of this. He clearly didn’t need editing to make him look good.
Bridget and Greg's dynamic is so mint!! She's not at all scared of him, and he's happy to box on with her whenever she wants to kick off 😂
This task does feel like they needed to impress a mayor but the mayor was unavailable
This will forever be one of my favorite tasks
Did Sophie even get the handcuffs off? Pretty sure she was just handcuffed while holding her breath lol
im still curious what bridget wanted to do with the gun
If any series had a sequel, I would choose this one, all 5 contestanst are gold!
Judi talking about being able to fry fish fingers, lmao.
_Four_ fish fingers.
At the same time.
And cooked properly.
it would have been funnier if he bumped everyone scores except Bridget's
LOVE Bridget's outfits, and Chris's balancing skills. 🤩🥰😍🖤♥🖤
It's amazing how Bridget can be easily the most stylish contestant of all time and also a complete certifiable lunatic. Her suit outfit is so cool

@@bobbybigboyyes yeah it's the stupid handles thing, I wish they never replaced he actual usernames in comments sections
@@iliketrains3495 I blame the train handles Steve
Ardal choosing chin-balancing after Chris did the same is one of the greatest synchronicities in Taskmaster history
Edit: And Ardal getting that score is one of the most generous moments in Taskmaster history
Almost as generous as John getting 3 points for struggling to climb through a bunch of chutes
"Judi, didn't you earn two degrees while raising two children by yourself?"
"Yes, Greg, but I thought the point was to be *funny*."
Ok, now i have to watch this series again😅
I'm still so confused why Alex wasn't using his own hands with the cards for that transition at the beginning because his hands are clearly in his lap. Was it a cardistry hand double and they just cut the actual cardistry? I really want to know.
Never tire of this incredible show 🥰🙏
I can borrow a dog whenever I want.
No one is doubting you! 😉
Surprised no one asked about the handcuffs, she didn't exactly escape them.
Brilliant Task😂
Love sophie duker sm. this series was so good ❤

Judi was so beautiful at the BAFTAs.
"bridget!" "wot"
3:15 - HOW THE HELL DID HE BALANCE THAT?!!
"I gave you
culture
literature
...
water..."
(9:01)
In the UK Bridgette thinks someone has a gun?
Well she is dressed as Lee Van Cleef
This has to be one of the funniest tasks of the whole series which is saying a lot by the way
wait, what? sooo... u think the rest of the series is not funny? O.o
@@SunshineRiot no no “which IS saying a lot” as in the whole series is super funny
Um. The Wow Monster?
💜
I remember Chris’s being better
Human memory is a tricky thing.
I miss the cuts back to the contestants’ reactions in studio 😢

Wait wait wati... Judi said she's in a 'WhatsUp' group... is WhatsApp supposed to be a play on that phrase? Am I a complete moron for only thinking of this many, many years late?
Yeah pretty much. Judi did say 'WhatsApp', it's just her accent sounds like she said 'What's up'
kinda wish Bridget had still gotten one point just for entertainments sake.
Why do they not look like his hands
Because they're not. Someone else was doing it, and Alex had his actual arms hidden.
@@Meteorite_Shower that's what it looked like but just presented here, it wasn't explained

Notice every time Chris "balanced" something, they showed it in slow motion?
Nope. I didn't. But primed, I will notice. Thank you.
How the fuck was Sophie not last? She literally didnt do anything
Too subtle for you, anyway. But I'm sure people enjoy your Shakespeare recitations.
