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
Rhod's rage at the crowd to pass the donut up has me dying every time omg
“Have I been put on a team with David baddiel?” and everyone’s reactions leaves me in tears every single time 🤣🤣
Goodness the outrage is the best to see .
They did it alphabetically. One team had to pass one drawing across 2 backs.
@@MikeDCWeld so to make it fair, he's on a team with David Baddiel
I genuinely think this season is the best one, I never get bored of the chaotic energy, of jo brand's fuck it attitude. this one and the one with Acaster as well. so damn good,
Only the taskmaster and David reacted really...
Kerry: "What happens if we fall off the stage?"
Alex: "You don't have to walk blindfolded, you should be alright"
Jessica: "Hold my beer"
(Bonus points to James: "Please tell me you fell off")
Hold my beer... that would explain why she fell off
I love that they now call that stage extension a "Knappett"
I’ve seen this clip so many times how have I not noticed Kerry said that before 😭😂🤣
Also, why did those who had already done the task keep wearing the blindfold? 🤣
@@bittersweet_ik yeah makes no sense but probably so they don't react and give away anything to those who didn't go first of my guess
gregs histerics to eds reaction to david will never not be funny
Imagine my reaction to your reaction to Greg's reaction to Ed's reaction to David.
That was hard to follow but I got it and I loved it
I've died three times to it.
"we're tied, he's asthmatic and is scared of balloons" his face and everyone was gold lol
Lollll no but 16:12 when josh takes a rip of the puffer 😂 thankful mine's only necessary for when I run or hike a bunch, he had a rough go in this task hah
James, Rhod, Phil, Jessica, and Kerry were by far the most chaotic in general. One of my favorite seasons.
Rhod is a favorite of mine.
Best season!
Fun Fact: after Jessica fell off that stage extension/catwalk thing. they actually named it "The Knappett" in her honour and you can see it has that name on a sign at the end of the catwalk in all tasks using the catwalk in future series. it's amazing that the moment was so iconic it influenced the production team to have a reference to it for all series up to this day!
It's like in top gear when the final turn got named Gambon; after Sir Michael Gambon got his car up on two wheels during his lap
eyy thats so cool!:D
That's why it's named that?
I literally just thought the knappet was a British term. Thank you!
That’s a cool little fact thanks
Season 7's lineup was the first to feature all three chaotic alignments with Jess (CG), James (CN), and Rhod (CE).
I'm missing the iconic two-line drawing task. "Only elephants and hippos have that kind of tail!" The other team pissing themselves from laughing sure counts as chaos to me
I thought it was enough of a travesty it wasn’t the thumbnail & then it’s not even in the video!
I'm apoplectic with rage!
@@MikeDCWeld Underrated comment!! Made my night! 😂 Thank you 😘
Hippogate must never be forgotten.
first time I watched that we had to pause the tv because I was crying with laughter. I think I slid off the couch too so I was convulsing on the floor (much to the concern of my cat)
James’ and Jess’s chaotic sibling energy kills me every time
Season 7 was pure gold! When Jess was on the podcast she said that she would do Taskmaster again in a heartbeat even without cameras or being paid 😄 I‘m still waiting for a full episode of cul-de-sac.
I'd love to know if anyone didn't enjoy doing the show. It's just pure fun
@@andrewbowden6982 Sadly Doc Brown has said he didn’t enjoy his time on the show, I think it was because he didn’t like being humiliated or something. Romesh also said he regretted the way he acted, and Phil Wang has criticised Greg for underscoring him, although with him you can never tell if he’s being serious or not.
@@iliketrains3495 Underscoring is definitely just a joke between friends I feel. Shame about Doc and Romesh, they provided some great moments
@@iliketrains3495 shame about doc since he pretty much came off as a pretty cool and laid back guy
@@FluffyCrimsonBirkenstocks Yeah, same with Paul Sinha, apparently he got his Parkinson's diagnosis right before series 8 aired and he hasn't watched himself back as he finds it too painful
Something I didn't realise until Ed pointed out on the Podcast yesterday. James puts his arms out to try and catch Jess when she falls off 😂😂
It is still one of the sweetest and most genuine things I have seen him do.
He is **instinctively** helpful.
Ed Gamble and David Baddiel's drawings have to probably be my favourite task in the history of this show
This skit is what I show everyone to get them into the show. Never fails lol
"... but to make it fair, you'Re with David Baddiel" hahaha
I love how Ed looks at Greg so exasperated, like he's lodging a complaint. And Greg giggles like "your sufferance has been engineered for my amusement....." 🤣🤣🤣
On the 3rd time, Ed went:
- ok, I’m not even gonna look at what David has done this time
- nvm, curiosity has gotten the best of me
- let’s se… OH MY LORD
The funniest thing I have seen in the longest time
After the first season, I think the one with James Acaster is my favourite. I absolutely love Rhod and Phil just holding each other from 12:17 onwards
12:58 - greg got down there SO FAST to help jessica when she fell off the stage…
I love the futility of Alex saying "Stop it!"
"...so can I just check have I been put onto a team with David Baddiel?"
Hearing Greg saying "Oh shit" when she falls off 🤣🤣
Honestly the best bit of the entire video is the single clap for Frank's third place at 20:22
Acaster immediately trying to blow the whistle is perfect
At first I thought he was trying to kiss Alex's hand 😂
@@nimsical7 I think alex (like me) assumed he was gonna bite.
"Stop it. Stop it. Stop it. Stop it. Stop it. Stop it. Stop it." 😂😂
That was hilarious - supply teacher losing control of the kindergarten class!
There’s a moment on Hogan’s Heroes when Col Hogan is told to stop his men from rioting and he just stands there saying“Fellows, settle down please!” It’s like the converse of that scene.
Mrs. Ranganathan, your son is quite the instigator, is there a problem at home?
I love how Romesh did more feeling/distracting the others than blowing up his own balloon..he basically pushes Roisin in the face before locking horns with Tim 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Phil: "Hello Everyone"
Only Rhod: "Hi Phil"
- And I don't know why, but it made me smile
It's because Phil greatly cares about the elderly.
I cant express how much joy this programme brings to me.
Im surprised we don't have an american version of this. Seems like an obvious thing to do.
We did. It got bad reviews.
@@mickeymickey9914 Lasted one season. Even Little Alex Horne was there.
@@mickeymickey9914 Remakes never make it. Also different cultures appreciate different entertainment, unfortunately.
@@mickeymickey9914 The CW network tried to show series 8 of the UK version back in 2020 but cancelled it after the first episode got bad ratings. I don't think most Americans get British comedy.
14:39 i love how Alex just drops Rhod there, like revenge for all the times he made him strip
See also: Alex dropping the log during Bridget's cup-snake task.
Rhod gets everything he deserves after what he did to Buzzcocks.
Rhod really did deserve that, and more.
I love that When Jessica fell off of the stage both Greg and Alex came out of character and rushed over with clear concern.
"He's not wearing the pinata!" *Proceeds to punch the pinata in half to wear it*
And now they call that part of the stage the "Knappett" :D
Jessica falling of the stage right after Kerry asked was absolutely priceless 😂😂😂
And especially because Jess laughed at that question lol
It's actually impressive that Jessica hit the drum in 27 seconds, given that she had to climb back up with (presumably) bruised ribs
Falling 3' onto carpet would not bruise ribs.
@Erica Smith That really depends on how you land. You can fall 0" and end up with brused ribs if you are particularly unlucky. I knew someone who broke their leg by stepping off a curb.
I Once fell "from her own height", as written on medical report.. gracefully managed to break my elbow! 🤘 🥴
Jess unfortunately passed away upon impact, but heroically came back to life to complete the task
Wow, it's amazing to look back and remember just how different the vibe was back in series 1.
a lot more formal huh
I love rhod and Phil just holding each other while blindfolded.
Ed's hysterics at 5:18 is so good.
New taskmaster upload, the biggest news of the evening
Something actually worth watching today, thank F*** for UA-cam!
You do know thy have whole series of this stuff to watch?
Or maybe the biggest news of this evening is Queen Elizabeth's death.....
Bigger news than the queen dying 🤣💔
What the hell is wrong with you?
I know the drawing one is used alot, but my god do I laugh everytime.
Ed is the perfect combination of competitive and petty
His reactions and then Greg's reaction to him are just TOO perfect.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING? WHY ARE YOU STILL DRAWING?
'What are you doinggg?!?'
I wish they’d left in how uncomfortable Alex was when the women started taking bras off.
Joe splitting that pinata in one punch was impressive
Same energy as Romesh obliterating a melon by throwing it at the ground.
'Instincts'
i like how greg immediately ran over to make sure she was ok after falling
Big ol'softie 🥰🥰
has anyone else at 12:56 when jessica fell off the stage, in the background Rhod and Phil holding onto each other like they're gonna do the task together to the ducklings song in swan lake?
My personal favorite will probably always be when Daisy May told Richard Herring "I hate you more than i hate my husband." And "IT'S A HIPPO!!!" :D (Well, that and Davids ability to draw from a finger on the back)
12:48 lmao I love that she pretended to fall off but she actually did 😂
One of the things I love about Greg Davies as taskmaster is he genuinely seems like he’s there to have a great time and to make sure everyone else has a great time.
Even if Jessica didn't fall, hers was way longer than 9 seconds lol
yeah she fell off at 12 only halfway down the catwalk
8:05 is one of my favourite moments from this show, almost as good as the watermelon smash
The outtake of the drawing task, of Alex trying not to look uncomfortable handling Rose's bra is brilliant.
The fact that Kerry called someone falling off the Knappit is just great
This is the video to show to people who have never seen Taskmaster, it's impressive how quickly it turns into chaos 😆
Joe and Doc killed me in series 2. That slow windup and punch of the pinata. Classic.
The donut task is the only task that has made me pause so that I could stop laughing before they started talking. I couldn’t breathe!
its missing the one with the giant balloon pops where they had to stand up before it went, that one made me so tense i felt physically ill lmao
I'm missing the one from Series 4, Episode 1. Where they have to get some juice out of a fruit with a weird tool. Or how I like to name it "with the five of you, have a meltdown on stage"
Everyone, apart from
Mel and Shoe
@@Zach90888 Shoe Who?
Another one from Series 4, episode...6? Where Noel just dumps everything in Greg's lap.
@@JJB989she used a shoe to get the juice out
@izzytwizzy6255 They know, they were referencing an episode in series 13
Richard Osman instantly mashing the pinata in half to fit it into the suitcase is just classic brilliant Richard
I've seen the task enough, I started laughing uncontrollably the moment I saw Ed start to read! 😂😂😂
"please tell me you fell off the stage"
"the bar has been set very high"
LOL
Fingers crossed the Lego Ideas Taskmaster set gets made. It would give me the unique privilege being taller than Greg Davies if he were a Lego figure
absolutely love how sassy and mischievous Alex was in the first series! 17:50 although he still has his moments of pure passive-aggressiveness
8:09 this reaction is priceless
The hippo tragedy will forever have me crying from laughter, by the end of it I can barely breathe.
"Do we have to tie the end?" is a criminally underrated pun 💛
The "wow" at the end and no clapping KILLED ME
Ok, but what about Daisy Mae Cooper and Richard Herring's hippopotamus???!?!? (S10)
Side note: Jess falling off the stage, David and Ed as a team and Greg being dragged around by the S7 cast will never not be funny (along with Greg's reactions to both those events, Greg genuinely asking if Jess was ok after she hit the drum is dear to my heart.)
12:04
They laughed at Kerrie's question. Little did they know...
The donut was pure joy.
I want to see a series with all of the chaotic neutral contestants.... Dave, Rhod, etc
I love that Greg and Alex both ran to her when she fell off the stage. One of them even whispered “shit.”
(Before Baddiel appears on the show)
'He hasn't watched any of the shows and doesn't really get the format but......how bad could it be?
(Seeing Baddiel during tasks)
'Oh.......oh no, David)
Let’s be honest, we all knew King of Clean Richardson would nail the packing challenge.
How about season 11 episode 1? Only one person completed the task, as everyone else ended up throwing beanbags and buckets at each other.
18:40 Alex really taking charge lol
I don't know if any contestants make Greg happier than Baddiel and Skinner but for two totally different reasons
I’m surprised the bucket stacking didn’t make it onto the list. That was pure anarchy.
i used to not like the live tasks so much but these are classics 😂😭
I love how Ed is still mad about the drawing task today
I so wish James hadn't been blindfolded when Jess did her walk, I want to know what he would have done!
He put his hands out even blindfolded. If he could see, I have no doubt he’d have run to her just like Alex and Greg!
Rhod is always a favorite, his mind is just different and I love it!!
Jessica Knappett is criminally underrated
this man just drawing whatever he wants
the david and ed drawing task is on so many videos!!!
also the live task from series 11 where lee mack, mike wozniak and jamali maddix started throwing buckets at eachother should definitely be on here
1:14 Rhod's usual charm shining through 😊
I love how in the UK there’s a pool of comedians to attend all these quiz/game shows. So different than US. I prefer UK stuff like this.
That talent pool does also exist in the States, we just don't have as many comedians that are effectively universally known nation-wide since the country is so much bigger. (As an American watching this show, it honestly doesn't matter to me that I've known... 3? 4? of these comedians over 14 seasons (still catching up after finding it when I was at home after surgery), it's still absolutely incredible to watch 😂
I never knew Alex had directly insulted someone on this show until today.
"You idiot."
Well what abt "it's orange"?
He's sly and sneaky 😊
I love seeing these after watching series 16 where everyone is friendly and helping each other lmaoo
5:15 will never not make me laugh
I wasn't expecting "Tall Donut" to be a PvP sport XD
Turns out all I needed to see today was Rhod screaming at the audience 🤣🤣🤣
The drawing one had me in tears
Will they be uploading anymore full seasons or episodes?? It’s a gift to us that don’t have access to this wonderful show!!
They're in the middle of uploading Season 10. Their streaming service "Supermax+" is ahead by a couple of episodes plus uploading other international seasons. Supermax+ shows they have plans to upload 11 & 12.
@@demons27 thank you so much for the info!
Rhod was hands down the single best thing that happened on Taskmaster EVER!
I've watched the whole Acaster series. I don't ever recall Alex with those hoops.
Did Rhod not have socks on with his boots..?
Probably whipped them off quicker than you could see. He seems like a pro at stripping off 🤣🤣
“Unless you’re gonna set yourself on fire, you’re not going to win!” 😂
Rewatching highlights and then noticing that huge thong flash at 1:35 you hadnt seen before haha
knew you were going to have 11:41 on here but if forgot how good 4:30 was
OMG!!!! This is the absolute best. I just ❤Greg and his facial expressions.
8:02 Golden
If you can wear a bucket, you can wear a spade
if you can't wear a spade, you definitely can't wear a piñata
Those blinking pixels near the end of the video scared the sh.. out of me, I thought my GPU is dying
For Jesus's donut, depending on how well the developer coded the universe, the height could either be almost the height of the universe (if, once you get to the edge of the universe, you end up at the opposite edge, or in the case of height, once you get to the top, you end up at the bottom) or infinity (since if you start measuring up from the stage, you'd never get to the donut)
I didn’t notice until watching clips this week that Alex has gauges in James Acaster’s season
