    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.

      Fancy dress is like you see at Halloween, people dressed as horses, vampires, giant cakes, robots, dead celebrities, etc. If a party invite says "fancy dress only" it means wear anything other than standard clothes. A great prank over here is to tell someone you are having a fancy dress party without telling anyone else so you end up with a house full of normal looking people and one guy wearing a shark costume.

      Still would of been lackluster if full the potential was massively limited a large portion of the trapped co2 was already released when he poured it out of the bottle. The tapered top of the bottle makes a much more effective nozzle then large straight pipe does. Edit the foam doesn't interact with the mentos at all the mentos create the same foam that pouring it does, just much quicker giving the eruption effect once the gas is released it can't be released again so there was very little left for the mentos to act on.

    To Iain's credit, the part that made his failure so hilariously spectacular was the classic subversion of expectations. He clearly worked very hard on a creative idea(maybe came up a little short on the dirt, though) and his coke and mentos setup had me thinking that it would dwarf Joe's minimalist, one-mentos, construction paper volcano until the very last minute. Just before it fizzled, I was fully expecting the pressure to build up and the top to pop off, but I think he had it on too tight. Plus, the hole let pressure slowly escape. When people do the mentos tied in a coke cap setup, they don't screw the cap on.

    • @RobinHood3000
      @RobinHood3000 3 роки тому +18

      The problem with Iain's approach was that the act of pouring out the soda shook out all of the carbonation, so there was sadly nothing left to erupt.
      Relatedly, if you're ever pouring soda into a cup and want to retain as much fizz as possible, tilt the cup so that the soda flows down the side rather than churning at the bottom.

    • @Brinta3
      @Brinta3 7 місяців тому +2

      ⁠@@RobinHood3000
      I think there was plenty of fizz left. The problem was that the rising bubbling fluid had too much room. Remember, there was space to dangle a net of mentos above the cola. There needs to be little air above the cola and only a small opening. Like when you are using a garden hose and you put your thumb on the opening to spray a greater distance.

    It really is a shame to watch this knowing that so many of the tasks had such a physical bent to them that was obviously going to cause issues for Paul with his frozen shoulder, and I really think that they really should've taken that into account. Obviously, it would've been tough to do all of that for the filmed tasks, but the studio tasks feel a bit unfair on that score, and I do wish that Alex and co. had been able to come up with alternative tasks to accommodate Paul's injury and bank these for a later series.

      Oh, is it an ongoing injury? From what he said I assumed it was a "today" sort of injury
      Edit: apparently he was diagnosed with Parkinson's after this series :(

      The timing was really bad, so it would have been very difficult to change tasks. Since I recall that Paul mentioned in one of the episodes that he had got a frozen shoulder two weeks before the filming of the tasks. So it was tricky as the previous contestants already filmed their attempts and to create alternate tasks would trash a few other tasks the other contestants that came before him did.

      At 40:55 Paul says something about not having mentioned the shoulder injury; couldn't hear it clearly though
