    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.

      @@RayFlemming7080 Granted, the whole point of making them name countries is to prevent them from thinking about the actual task and how to accomplish it. For example, removing the leash, moving the table closer to the trolly and just taking it easy from there. And it might seem impressive, but it's really not. Not if you have a system, making sure not to repeat. Some of them went alphabetically, and that is valid. But personally I wouldn't go that way because it invites accidental repetition. Instead, I'd go geographically, from one continent, from east/west to the other naming bordering countries. That way you don't accidentally say Bolivia or Botswana twice. I simply don't think it's that impressive. And I was terrible in school.

    • @RayFlemming7080

      Ђорђе Павличић both tasks distract from each other. On it’s own, creating a stack of cans is fairly easy. On its own, naming a bunch of countries is fairly easy. But having to run back every ten seconds makes stacking cans much more difficult, and being constantly distracted by another task makes making countries more difficult.
      The east to west strategy was my thought as well, and I sat down and tried it and got significantly over 92. Maybe it’s just me, but I personally work very badly under pressure and so it is still quite impressive for me to see him get such a high number while being distracted and with a certain time limit.

    • @user-go6rx6tb9k
      @user-go6rx6tb9k 3 роки тому +3

      @@RayFlemming7080 Running back is the only limiting factor. So the pressure of time is only ever an issue if you know you can't name many countries so you have to cram as much work possible in as little time as your knowledge allows. If you can easily name over 92 countries, time pressure disappears. As you can just take your time to formulate a plan while standing next to Alex and naming a couple of countries in the meantime. After you do the things I mentioned in the earlier comment, you can literally stack a single can carefully, and then stand next to Alex to name the next country.
      Ok if you work badly under pressure, and take it as a measure of impressiveness then he should have scored less on your scale. Looking at it logically, while he did name 92 countries, he didn't do a terrific job of stacking the cans. 6, same as Bob who didn't name as many. That actually diminishes his 92 countries-count effort, as it proves he didn't preform well under pressure.
      But I don't think I can persuade you to change your stance, so let's agree to disagree :D

    After seeing him do it on WILTY, I tried it myself. It was one of the hardest things I’ve done in a long time, but when I did it, I really impressed my 10 year old son, which was the other hardest thing I’ve done in a long time.
