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. - Комедії
A lot of the in between tasks were "do X until the doorbell rings." I think someone like Rhod would've just immediately rung the doorbell himself, then gone back to counting.
Or find the person ringing the bell and tie them up in the shed.
Came to the comments to say the same thing. Even better break the doorbell so no one could ring it to make you answer the door
That's all good and well until you realise there is no doorbell to ring... 2:13
Or the Mawaan tactic where he just removes the doorbell and takes it to the room
Break the doorbell
Carol's counting was impressive. But "Hello! WOOOO!" is also great.
I know she's a maths genius and she was close but how did she end up with an odd number multiplying her answer by 2😂
By counting the big dot that was cut in half as 0.5?
@@callum9999 She would definitely do something like that.
I'm surprised Alex didn't catch that.
I myself was puzzled at her odd number result. Lol
Did she defo realise the sides were the same outside of the colour? Maybe (mis)counted each separately
I was thinking I would have just rung the doorbell by myself and taken the goggles off.
Must be a lot of pressure when you're known for something and then there's a task about it, well done to Carol for living up to her reputation.
Isn’t she known for ridiculous cosmetic surgery and having boasted about having five boyfriends…???
Let’s ignore the bikini pics and her rivalry with her daughter……
We all know who the king of counting is: Mr bean counter, spaghetti counter, rice counter
First I was thinking you were referring to Mr. Bean counting sheep to fall asleep.
The Pillow on the couch has a 8 on it and the clocks read 7 something. One thing I’ve noticed about these games is to LOOK FOR CLUES.
Those pillows were actually recycled from last year's New Year special, nothing to do with the ep. I can tell you the real trick if you want, as they didn't show this fifth contestant's attempt
@@ResettisReplicasYes please!
@@Gesepp95 You were supposed to answer the phone, and a voice would give you the correct answer.
This New Years Treat was so heartwarming and funny. Best one yet!
Alex: Unfortunately, Carol, you touched the board before you gave your final answer.
Carol (crawling on her knees): Please don't take this away from me.
The ten minutes had expired.
@@ClarinoI it has happened before tho
If you know, you know.
Still the most sad I've ever felt watching Taskmaster.
Ohhh the potato. Some of THE BEST television everywhere created
This is what simple tasks feel like when you have ADHD and literally anything else unexpected happens
That was my thought, too. But also when the totally expected is happening, as well. Just all the time, really.
Absolutely true!
Can always count on Taskmaster for some funny content.
I see what you did there 👀
Shame Greg James’ attempt was cut out, not only because he figured out the big clue but because I’ve never seen someone look more like Sportacus unintentionally
So can we assume that they would have been given the number had they picked up the phone?
Greg james did answer the phone.
I really want to see superhero/villain fanart of Mo in all the getups he had to wear. With the goggles he looked like a Spider-Man villain (maybe ultimate Spidey, specifically), the swim cap reminded me of Frozone from the Incredibles, and as much as a one-eyed boxer would have a hard time without depth perception it'd make a great 1940's era Captain America character.
Hurrah for counting!
Honestly this whole episode was amazing!
Her and Fern at the same time would be bliss!!!!
Carol V on Taskmaster?! What did we do to deserve this treat!
Having only Heard the card being read, but having seen many think outside the box solutions of taskmaster I immediately thought I'd go out and smash the doorbell so it wouldn't ring
I think they only rent the Taskmaster House, so can't do any vandalism to it.
@@anttibjorklund1869 would that stop Rod ghilbert though
@@swe113 Luckily he wasn't present here.
@@anttibjorklund1869 in a previous episode one of the contestants removed the doorbell and brought it to the room. I think the task was ring the doorbell every 30s while doing something else.
@@phenom568 Ok.
I thought for sure this was going to be one of those ones where the reveal that the answer was hidden in the room somewhere. I was assuming if someone had answered the phone the person on the other end would reveal the number.
That’s exactly what happened. The fifth contestant answered the phone and got the answer (or close enough- he transposed 2 digits.)
@@tracy9610 why did they not include that one here :(
Fun fact: Alex met Carol when he was a contestant on Countdown.
HALLO WOOOOOOO
It took me a while to realise that the phone that they all heard ring had a camera on it. No one took a photo
...I'm not sure how a photo would have been helpful.
@@hirshja You can take it out of the room, and mark the picture.
Not that anyone cares but I did a quick count up the side and across the top then multiplied the two numbers together - 24 x 27 = 864. Took 10 seconds. Actual 871 so was surprisingly close. 😁
I absolutely love Mo's energy there
We didn't see the last guy go!!
It is rather ironic that the radio presenter of the group (the only one to find the loophole) couldn’t deal with a glorified phone-in and misheard 1742.
He luckily barely misheard it though and at least remembered the 2 important numbers
@@Shamanized Haha, could you imagine if he’d said 7142…
Well the number obviously couldn't be that large. 7142 is ridiculous. 1724 is realistic.
Mo with those Jordan’s on looks like a wall bracket. 👟
Maybe answering the phone would have given the answer? Haven't seen the full episode yet.
I expected one
of them to either ring the bell themselves or remove it from the wall
Maybe my counting is off, but you only showed 4 of 5 contestants
Hello! WOOOO!
I'm shouting! I'm shouting?
I'd just ring the doorbell when outside so ya don't need to do the stuff to slow ya down
That and have Alex bring the thing out to the door
I mean, if you're going to ask someone who famously worked with numbers for 26 years to do a task involving counting, she's gonna live up to expectations!
Counting dots isn't anything like using simple math to get to a target number.
They seemed to skip right past the point where No went back in to feed the bird with boxing gloves still on.
What it your took a picture of the dots and then counted them on your phone by marking them with an app or something like that
Surprised no one wore the goggles literally anywhere but in front of their eyes :D
I wonder what would have happened if you answered the phone
loveeeee rebecca
She has issues.
Hello! Wooo!
Could you ring the doorbell yourself? i.e. wear the googles until the bell rings again. So you ring it again & remove the googles?
Either way this looks like chaotic fun 😂😂👍
I thought Mo Farah would ignore the doorbell.
Not noticing the colours changed completely... Uh oh
Answer the door when the door bell rings, not open the door when the door bell rings. The door did not actually ask a question therfore you could ignore it.
6:12 Perhaps someone would’ve given the answer?!
That’s what happened for the last contestant.
came to see if anyone else commented on the phone call, bet that gave the answer lol
You didnt watch the episode?
it didnt specify to wear the weird goggles over their eyes
HELLO WOOOO
I'm old enough to remember the good old days when we got full episodes of taskmaster, things were better back then. 🧐
Those episodes, while new to you, were easily 3 or 4 seasons old by the time they posted them here as the show blew up in popularity. This clip literally only aired on New Year’s Day and they are out of older seasons to post. So no they aren’t going to post full episodes of seasons that are airing or just aired.
@@sowhatnow7491 Yes, at first. But, there was also episodes posted of current season at some point. I might miss which season, but around 10-11, there was definitely an episode posted literally the same day it was aired in the UK. Season 12 was definitely like that. It changed when they switched to Channel 4.
And Season 13 hasn't been posted yet, so they do have "old" seasons to post, but aren't. It probably has something to do with the channel change
I wonder why they showed all the attempts here except one? Confusing.
Gives u a reason to watch the whole episode
@@SievertSchreiber Where or when, though?
@@Lumpiluk New Years Day/Eve I think, on Channel 4.
Alexis - Your sentence should not have a question mark.
Damn, there’s a lot of sensitive snowflakes who are butthurt over Rebecca’s comment. Lighten up guys, learn to take a joke 🥺
Did anybody else legitimately fall in love with RLT, or was it just me?
You are definitely not alone! I instantly liked her personality, and her enthusiasm in this NYT. She would be a great contender for the actual show, shame this is the only episode we'll see her in :(
RLT?
Who?
Rebecca Lucy Taylor
I would have counted all the dots on the Taskmaster task card e.g the i’s and the full stops. It never specified what card.
I had the same thought 👍
That’s exactly how I thought this would end…with one of
Little Alex Horn’s twist endings that would’ve screwed everyone!!
If that's "the card" then you'd be disqualified because it says you can't touch the card.
WHERE'S THE LAST ATTEMPT? DID THEY ANSWER THE PHONE?!?
Yes, but he still got the answer wrong
@@hjt091 what was the phone call about?
@@DaBaltimoron gave the correct answer
@@DaBaltimoron A voice on the other end mentioned 4 numbers (1, 7, 4 and 2), which when joined together formed 1742 which was the exact amount featured on the double sided card. However, Greg mixed up the last two numbers upon giving his final answer.
@@DaBaltimoron it was a woman whispering the exact number of circles on the card
Rebecca's approach is good but 17 is too small. I would have divided the board into 6 by laying some pieces of paper over then x by 12
Why did they double Mo‘s number again when he had specifically doubled it himself because there were two sides?
Mo himself said "It's 2880" so that's what they went with.
I wonder if they would have been told the correct number if they had picked up the phone
Yep, Greg James did that and won as a result
I'm amazed, My guess was 876 on either side so 1,752.
Nobody else would care, but I nearly fell off my chair at that because my maths is awful and I do colouring in for a living 😆
7:34 Carol touches the card to check it has two sides. I haven’t seen the full episode did they disqualify her?
Damn, you're right! And no, she got away with it
No, but I suspect it's because this was a 1-episode special, meaning a 0 would basically kill her chances of winning. If it means anything, there's another task where they say "you may not bend your knees" but a couple people do, and they don't enforce that either.
She flipped the board over and the instructions clearly state she was not to touch the board. So actually she ought to have been disqualified. Still, the whole task was quite fun to watch.
Am I missing something? why not just pick up the dots and take them to the door? please? I missed this
"You may not touch or mark the card"
@@iliketrains3495 ok thank you, I didn't hear that.
I would have read the Taskmaster card, placed it on the table to not be touching it while counting, and then count the dots on it, flipping it over with a pencil. It would have taken me about 10 seconds, and then I'd let Alex know I was done.
Gamer moment
She got a great answer, however she touched the card at the end. Against the rule!
If Vorderman was on the show what’s Rachel Riley’s excuse ay? Carol’s double her age. Idea for New Year’s Treat 2023 😉
What does age have to do with it?
I wonder what would've happened if they picked up the phone?
Watch the episode
Surprising how many people still put the word "and" between the hundreds place and the tens place when saying the number out loud.
No its not surprising. Saying "and" after the hundreds is the correct way to say it. Its only lazy Americans that can't be bothered to say "and" after the hundreds. It sounds completely wrong. One thousand, seven hundred AND fourty two, 1742. Without the "and" it sounds like you are saying 1700, 42.
@@simontay4851 "and" is not a number, also commas are for pauses in sentences.
Vorderman wasn't flashing her norks - for a change.
Johnny Depp made at least 4 out of the 5 pirates movies within their lifetime, and also Arden (Wallace and Grommet) made a claymation pirate movie. Being young is not valid for not knowing what pirates arrrr..... Lol
Good episode but the pop star annoyed me. The stand outs were definitely Mo and Carol.
I had no idea that bodybuilders with sepsis were such a threat to female friendships before now. Thanks Rebecca!
Rebecca seems to have issues.
Oh god this was worth watching just for the 'toxic masculinity pitching women against each other' comment haha :o)
It was a stupid comment.
@@jonhohensee3258 Then why was Greg laughing ;o)
There's always got to be one unfunny feminist.
Aisling Bea was the last one.
@@wendydee3007 To lighten the mood.
@@jonhohensee3258 bro taking something serious in a comedy show is just stupid, you can tell she was just playing lmao.
Anyone else expected Mo Farah to speak Somali for the pirate bit?
Noice one!
Love the look of botulism that Carol has in her face. So radiant.
As she gets older the work that she has had done is going to become more and more apparent, unless she keeps on having more work done. She is kind of trapped now.
Who the hell is Rebecca Lucy Taylor? And why is she accusing men of being toxic on national TV? What have we done?
I think the wording was unfortunate, but her point was completely valid.
@@bagofnails6692 "Classic toxic masculinity, pitting women against each other". Her point is valid? In what way?
That accusation is completely groundless.
@@bagofnails6692as equally valid as pitting two people wearing clothes against each other. Them being women had nothing to do with the original context of the comment, it had to do with one individual in the same position as another held previously. If the recipients of the same comment were Jimmy Carson and Jay Leno, you and I would NOT say, infer, or even think of seeing it as a sex/gender discrimination issue. In this instance i use the same consistent logic, yet you for some prejudicial reason don't. Hmmm….
@@GAIS414 He was literally telling a lie in order to create a bit of friction between two women, one of whom was dismissed in order to make way from a younger and prettier woman.
@@bagofnails6692 I have to agree with Stu, it has nothing to do with gender at all. It just happened to be two women this time. Toxic masculinity seems to be a myth tossed around among feminists.
This was the first episode where I flat out found contestants unbearable. The ones on each end were horrid. Enjoyed the rest though! First time I’ve been glad it was a single episode as 10 with those two would be so bad!
Amelia is intentionally awkward, which is her character, so points for her there I suppose, but when you don't have comedians, it seems to get a bit too serious and competitive. Fingers crossed for the new series.
As soon as I heard one of them say” toxic masculinity “ I’d had enough. Ffs.!
I feel like Amelia didn’t really get the spirit of the show, which seems to be a common criticism of the NYT episodes given it’s all non-comedians, but before the only NYT contestant I felt that way about was the baroness. As for Rebecca she did say she was a big fan of the show, but she did come across as pretty snobby (I mean her stage name IS Self Esteem) I didn’t mind her on Never Mind The Buzzcocks but she was kind of annoying here. I’m not gonna rag on about her ‘toxic masculinity’ comment for days on end, but it was pretty unnecessary and tainted Greg’s hilarious joke (maybe it’s because I’m a longtime Countdown fan, idk). I’ll give props to her for the carp task though.
Why are we pretending that women just saying men bad is funny
Comedy's going to get really boring if all the newer generation have is bigoted jibes drawn from identity politics.
👍
Holy Shit, Carol Volderman. You are amazing!
Taskmaster videos are normally great but this was so dull I nearly fell asleep
I don't know who the woman is with the short blonde hair, but she did exactly 0 funny things during this clip. Also bringing gender politics into a comedy show makes her immediately dislikeable
Oh shut up with that tired nonsense, she was clearly joking.
I don't know who you are, but your comment makes you immediately dislikeable
👍
Yeah, you can always tell who the unfunny feminist is.
First of all, they will tell you. And second, they won't be funny.
@@kristoffer8609 👍
This episode was ruined by a typical unfunny feminist.
