    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.

      ​@@alexortiz9777Back when I was a trainee at work, I was told, that holding your arms out at an 90° Angle (T-Posing) and then bending the right arm at the elbow so it's in front of your chest gives you about a meter between your hands. I used to meassure Cables like that when getting them from storage.
      First few times I meassured them afterwards and was baffled how accurate it is, especially useful when you need about 25 meters of cable and don't have time to slowly meassure.
      It was even more impressive because the guy showing me the trick used it pretty accurately aswell and he was way smaller than me.
      Might be faster than putting it next to your forearm and also meassures approximately in a widely used scale. Forearm lenghts were used widely in history aswell, before standardized meassuring. Some historic buildings still have the "standardized forearm" mounted to their wall, it there was a market selling ropes or fabric in front of them, way back in time. That was used, so the seller wouldn't easily profit from having small forearms or mismeassuring. - people could go up to that standardized thing and meassure for themselfes, no foul excude of "my forearm is shorter" anymore.

    • @nicosmind3
      @nicosmind3 2 роки тому +19

      She didn't really figure it out instantly (but was pretty quick), and was very none committal when mentioning her idea "I keep thinking it's something to do with hopping" and then she went quiet. She didn't point out all her clues or explain herself (people can't read minds, we all need a little explanation). When everyone else was in a figuring out mode shouting out ideas she did nothing to differentiate her hoping idea from the noise. So I don't blame the boys for "prattling on" cause they were clueless and looking for something to grab on to. Liza needed to be more assertive if she wanted to be listened to, be she with males of females, staying quiet isn't how you're heard

      I think they thought "hop" was a clue, not an answer, they acknowledged hop at the beginning, but we didn't see her saying "we are supposed to hop 100 times", so they probably thought there was no way it was that simple and were trying to figure out the other clues. I personally wouldn't have figured out because it would take me a while to realize "hop" means jump since I'm not that familiar with the expression "bunny hop"

You think it's a measurement of at least 6inches at first as that's pretty much the average everywhere. But then it turns out the guy who made it had a micro penis and now the standard unit of measurement is about a singular inch.
      "What if... It was a woman who made the dick system thus the standard unit of measurement becomes 0 thus all forms of measurement become invalid..."

    Everyone hating on Tim and Asim for getting the points and that task. Two things:
    1) It's a team task, in other tasks Liza gets carried, everyone does, giving points out based on contribution defeats the point of a team task.
    2) They could have been more open to her, but from the start she was basically working on her own, and her just saying, it's hops at the end wasn't really an argument. They thought hops was a clue to get to jumping, and so her just saying "it's hops" with no explanation wouldn't have convinced them. Also, Tim says about jumping a hundred times, then turns and sees her hopping, thinks she's jumping, and immediately joins in.
    Tim at least, looked like he was trying to work with both of them.

      The floor plan of the house is online from when the house was available for rent. It really helped me understand the layout. I was surprised there wasn’t a top floor!

      That fact that you thought a 1-story house somehow *HAS* a top floor is boggling enough XD

      Same, because the ceiling is vaulted, so it looks like an attic room.

    When I heard the opening task I thought the sturdiest thing Russel could bring was his mom. You know she’s tougher than her boys. Funny he brought his brother, but I still think his mom is sturdier. And I love seeing her show up on his gigs.

    I think Alices solution to the string task was awesome. This show always encourages you to think outside the box, so I think she should have won that task.

      Cutting the string to something that I knew the length of was my first guess, because of the saying "how long is a piece of string? Depends on how long you cut it". But I guess the wording of the question was "this string", not "a piece of this string"

    Liza saying Scramble when Greg asked what would happen if you drop a man on an egg and Russell immediately loosing it, was great

    So Liza got it the fastest, no one listened to her for a long while, then she just finish the tasks, her teammates are mad at her after and then everyone in her team gets the same amount of points? YEP. That seems right.
