Sian was robbed here. Her concept was fun and creative, and what’s more powerful than creating a living thing? There was even some showmanship to it, easily the most enjoyable of the sketches next to Joes. Justice for Sian!
Could not agree more. The actors showed some imagination with a lot of showmanship. Giving to charity was useful but dull. No imagination. Dropping bricks on ducks and babies was beyond my comprehension. Sian and Joe should have been marked the same.
It is similar to the toilet paper mummy. Greg judges the easy result (a guinea pig, a toilet paper mummy) rather than the actual point of it (bringing a stuffed animal to life, the mummy being the fakeout). That said, Greg is still so much better at judging than TM NZ that you have to forgive him sucking at nuance.
For a second there, I thought Joe was going to genuinely set fire to part of the Taskmaster house. Definitely powerful and if the didn't let it get too far, probably less damaging than some of what they've done.
Definitely for me the Guinea pig was the best and most powerful one. Completely Unexpected, very different and a very different context and interpretation to the others. Plus in half an hour they got a toy Guinea pig then a real one? That's some good planning and support there. Siân Definitely should have won! ❤
"It's like a gameshow, and they have to do assigned tasks. Like one they had to do something powerful with their little finger. One girl pushed a brick into a bowl full of floating babies, and another one created a guinea pig." I've tried to explain this show and its appeal to people, and that's roughly what it sounds like
The scoring will never be fair. Sometimes the winner always gets five points and Greg says "I can't believe I'm giving it five points," and sometimes the winner doesn't get five points, like the fridge magnet. Hugh Dennis' ringtone dance was awesome and deserved more points. The team structure of 3 vs 2 is NEVER fair. But that's just the nature of the show! It's never actually going to be fair, Greg has said as much.
@@johnathanh2660 That's also probably the only example to date a live team task has ordinarily favourited the team of 2; for the others, if they're not turn based, the team of 3 has a big advantage simply by having more people, which was super evident in series 15
@iliketrains3495 Well it depends *entirely* on the task.... tying themselves to each other and then crossing a finish line, shouting/miming film names across the Thames. In the end you'd actually have to count up who 'won' these tasks compared to who the weakest contestants are...
i would have found the breaker box and turned off the power to the Task Master House at the mains switch. Shutting down the show for a bit with just a pinky finger? Powerful.
the fact that the gentleman thought that 100 BP would buy them a night out in a good steak restaurant in Cali is laughable, maybe an Applebee's or TGIF but not a real restaurant🤣 in Cali
I always enjoy the creative rule definers... For instance, anyone of them could have taken that little finger off the fake hand and said that they own it and then gone outside and just thrown it into the air 10 feet up, or rolled over it with a car, or shot it out of a compressed air cannon...
Best possible answer is : take a little sponge, write "entire universe" on it and crush it with your Little Finger. that would be the most powerfull thing possible to do. you are so powerfull you can crush the entire universe including yourself.
Thousands of years ago, guinea pigs were the size of a modern day SUV. Could you imagine if they were still that size? Of course they would still be pet friendly but where would you keep a guinea pig that size?
@@rousp OK. That's commitment, certainly. I hope the kid grows up with a good sense of humour, cos they're going to need it when their school finds out. 🤣
I've heard about some weird stuff on GoFundMe. .. I don't get if, if people have enough money to give away, why not give to those who need it, rather than those who want more luxury.
Lou was robbed. The ball and brick falls were much more power (work over time) than any other contestant. Of course, it would have been better to go around turning appliances on and turning a car on to take for a spin up some hills with some heavy stuff in the back
Powerful people’s actions are not dictated by a designated taskmaster. If she sold her exit better, I’d insist she won by actually using her pinky to leave.
Brings a tear to my eye know that lovely young couple made it all the way to the West Coast only to find steaming piles of feces waiting for them on every street corner. Probably made them feel right at home.
I would have flushed the toilet, its the first thing i thought of the moment they read out the task. The flushable toilet has been one of the biggest impactful changes to human history, sanitry, it prevents the deaths of millions of people every year.
The most powerful thing was using your pinky to prove Greg Davies ia a woman hater 😂😂 HOW IS JESUSING A DEAD GUINEA PIG NOT THE MOST POWERFUL THING EVER?!
Lou was a terrible choice as a contestant as was Paul. They both should have been subbed out. Paul due to injury and Lou due to just being awful with this group
Are Paul and Ian actually serious ? They were terrible, so were Joe and Lou, I mean Joe knocked a curtain over and they added powerful music Sian was the only good one
No offense to these guys but id like to some very smart very competitive people do taskmaster challenges. I love the comedy but i want to see what an engineering genius would do for each task to get the absolute best result for each task
Phil Wang from series 7 is a qualified engineer and although he didn't do as badly as people say, it didn't exactly work out for him. Series 14 sounds like it would be right up your alley
Sian turning herself into a guinea pig was the cherry on top
That squeal at the end was perfect
I want that "Whaat?!" At the end as a soundbite xD
She sounded a bit like a guinea pig
Shes super adorable isn’t she!
@@imachamp68 yes, my ideal woman
what a cute WHAT too :'(

I respectfully disagree, however, I think that if Sian earned 2 points then Lou’s effort definitely should’ve been worth a measly 1.
Heightism at its worst. Give these giants powers and they immediately go after the wee creatures like grown up Ginny Weasley.
I disagree. The prompt was to do the most powerful thing, not fake the most powerful thing
The “whaaat?” from Sian at the end was the noise the Guinea pig would’ve made
The guinea pig looking back at the camera is clearly a modern drama prarie dog, I'm sad that it hasn't made meme status.
It will be one day. Just need a memelord to see it
That's my favourite moment of the task
Weirdly enough prairie dogs have been coming on my feed for the last week or so (poppy the prairie dog). You are not wrong my dude!
I have never heard a more high-pitched noise come out of a human.
Well, you'd be about the only person in the world who hasn't heard my ex having an orgasm then.

sian's "what" scared the hell out of my dog 💀
Joe Thomas with the responsible message for the younger generations

Yes the '3 vs 2 is NEVER fair'. But it's unfair for different, fun reasons. For example giving Ed Gamble David Baddiel as a partner!
If anyone hasn’t noticed yet, this show’s point structure runs like “who’s line is it anyway”

It's kind of charming that the contestants get so into it they forget that it is a comedy show, and not a genuine competition.
I think we all know how Lou was going to finish that sentence.
Love Alex's reaction to Sian's "whaaaat" at the end hahahha
"I'm a legend" = Paul describing his TM run
i would have found the breaker box and turned off the power to the Task Master House at the mains switch. Shutting down the show for a bit with just a pinky finger? Powerful.
That would have been my take as well.
Noone did a pinky promise?? Its unbreakable, everyone knows that! Whats more powerful than something that cant be destroyed
I've got a RELATIVELY NEW computer!
Congratulations
Is the most slept on line in all of taskmaster
the fact that the gentleman thought that 100 BP would buy them a night out in a good steak restaurant in Cali is laughable, maybe an Applebee's or TGIF but not a real restaurant🤣 in Cali
I mean this was all the way back in 2019 before a lot of shit went down, I think it would go a lot further than it would today.
That squeaky "WHAT!" 9:40
Tea came up through my nose and I sprayed it all over my keyboard and my shirt... Very unpleasant
I always enjoy the creative rule definers... For instance, anyone of them could have taken that little finger off the fake hand and said that they own it and then gone outside and just thrown it into the air 10 feet up, or rolled over it with a car, or shot it out of a compressed air cannon...
I'm surprised how the contestants interpreted this. I would have just tried to lift the heaviest weight possible with my pinkie.
the Sinnerman had no right being as funny as he was on this series. top steak restaurant always gets me 🤣
Best possible answer is : take a little sponge, write "entire universe" on it and crush it with your Little Finger. that would be the most powerfull thing possible to do. you are so powerfull you can crush the entire universe including yourself.
Greg was not having that match pun. Gets enough of that shit from Alex. Surprised Alex was put off by it.
In the end, no one could match Joe, though.
@@EnoVarma it's because they're not nearly as bright as Joe
I love that Sian Gibson is Greg's sister on The Cleaner.
i woulda gone to the nearest store and ask if i can operate their pallet lifter/forklift with my pinky
lifting thousands of pounds is powerful
Clearly the most powerful thing you could do would be go into the production truck and erase all the task recordings.
My brain first went to "Spy Movie Scene where the Bad Guy drops a minion into the Shark Tank by pressing a button [with a little finger]".
0:49 Well THAT escalated quickly!! 😂
Joe's was so good I had to watch it again
I would have called a taxi, "I moved a car with my little finger!".
Thousands of years ago, guinea pigs were the size of a modern day SUV. Could you imagine if they were still that size? Of course they would still be pet friendly but where would you keep a guinea pig that size?
I thought he meant donate his finger to charity 😭😂
In the Norwegian version someone did really create life as part one of these tasks. 😂
I created life the other week. I forgot to wash up a mug, and what was my cup of relaxing hot chocolate evolved into something quite offensive. 😂
@@peterclarke7006 as in, him and his partner got pregnant with their 2nd child to answer the task 😂
@@rousp OK. That's commitment, certainly. I hope the kid grows up with a good sense of humour, cos they're going to need it when their school finds out. 🤣
damn which episode?
5:00 lol i like him
Are people seriously sponsoring the honeymoon for someone they don't even know?
I want to go to Hawaii. Please send me money.
I've heard about some weird stuff on GoFundMe. .. I don't get if, if people have enough money to give away, why not give to those who need it, rather than those who want more luxury.
Al would’ve done the donations properly.
I would have flicked a light switch with my pinky creating power
Bb7 on the "whaaat" ! That's almost 2kHz.
the description says this is from series 7 btw
Evelyn Wang would be proud
Should've put it on the floor and said I'm holding up the world
It is series 8, not 7. Extra points for correcting your description, please!
Oh I was waiting for someone to put their pinky on Greg Davies mouth! Shutting him up would be the Most Powerful thing! 🤫😉
its weird how in so many tasks there is pretty good similarity between men and women how they approach the task...
Lou was robbed. The ball and brick falls were much more power (work over time) than any other contestant. Of course, it would have been better to go around turning appliances on and turning a car on to take for a spin up some hills with some heavy stuff in the back
A Daily dose of taskmaster keeps me sane.❤
Well, what if Thomas would have glued his pinky to the wall ... ? (box)
I hope one of them thinks to tell Alex to boof it.
Take the break away pinky and say ‘let’s have it. Down with your pants alex’
Powerful lol
Powerful people’s actions are not dictated by a designated taskmaster. If she sold her exit better, I’d insist she won by actually using her pinky to leave.
Sian could twist me around her little finger ❤
Anyone else notice the mistake in the description?
Cool!
Just finished watching series 16 ep 1 and found my way here
Is it any good?
@@nicky_nike It's really good. One of the strongest first episodes.
Pinky promise❤😂
Lou Sanders is my spirit animal
i can lift my weight with no problems
@Taskmaster it's series 8, not 7
Id drive a car
If you look up the definition of 'zany' in the dictionary you'll be presented with a photo of Lou Sanders...
She’s also under “Two Faced” and “Funny as a funeral” interestingly.
Why is Paul in his pyjamas?
That’s his costume.
They were all rubbish, but some of them were fun.
Brings a tear to my eye know that lovely young couple made it all the way to the West Coast only to find steaming piles of feces waiting for them on every street corner. Probably made them feel right at home.
What website did Paul went for that donation?
"go to" not went.
I think it was GoFundMe
Looks like gofundme
In the Us, you could just fire a gun.
I would have flushed the toilet, its the first thing i thought of the moment they read out the task.
The flushable toilet has been one of the biggest impactful changes to human history, sanitry, it prevents the deaths of millions of people every year.
This was from series 8, and the best group of personalities on the show so far.
Said no one ever. This series is widely seen as the most meh. Along with Series 6 with Russel Howard etc
@@chrisjones5411 I said.
Drink tea with your pinky up then explain it's too express how British colonialism spread across the world
Follow up task: Do The Most Impressive Thing With Your Pinky Toe. Most Impressive Thing Wins! Your Time Starts Now!
We miss lou😂
Using disposable matches to tell people to recycle instead of a refillable lighter lmao
None of them were powerful!
Rather than recycle, maybe look into bisphenol-a and that PET plastic they tell you to separate Greg! Mindless not powerful!
The most powerful thing was using your pinky to prove Greg Davies ia a woman hater 😂😂 HOW IS JESUSING A DEAD GUINEA PIG NOT THE MOST POWERFUL THING EVER?!
I've seen some pretty garbage performance art and Lou's attempt was somehow better than that
Lou was a terrible choice as a contestant as was Paul. They both should have been subbed out. Paul due to injury and Lou due to just being awful with this group
Are Paul and Ian actually serious ? They were terrible, so were Joe and Lou, I mean Joe knocked a curtain over and they added powerful music
Sian was the only good one
Taskmaster was better "back then" ...
How amazingly untrue. This is the shittest series they ever made. Outside of the Russell Howard series.
ahh another one of you luddites
Easily the worst series or up there with it. Very little chemistry between the contestants, and struggled to find a funny one amongst them
XD "Scottish 30"
No offense to these guys but id like to some very smart very competitive people do taskmaster challenges. I love the comedy but i want to see what an engineering genius would do for each task to get the absolute best result for each task
Phil Wang from series 7 is a qualified engineer and although he didn't do as badly as people say, it didn't exactly work out for him. Series 14 sounds like it would be right up your alley
Kinda agree, BUT, keep in mind that engineers doing their job probably have a long time to think and test. This is a very different setting.
