This is a ground breaking episode for Alex. Getting annoyed by Bridgette and vocalizing it, and calling out Ardal. He woke up and chose violence that day.
Chris Ramsey is one of my favorite contestants on this show. He's enthusiastic, unbothered by looking silly, laughs at himself, approaches each task trying to solve the puzzle and win but accepts losing well, he's got that chaotic Geordie energy driving him, and even when he's frustrated, it feels like he understands the brief of being on the show.
It always takes me a few episodes to warm up to the contestants I am unfamiliar with and I wasn't sure about him. Now he owns some of my favorite tm moments.
The women's stag minute makes me laugh so much. I especially love the idea of Alex having no idea what the birds and worm are about because birds are his dad's interest, not his.
Oh my bird, I couldn't breathe for a minute from laughing. Just the completely absurd fever-dreamish random hell that was thrown into Alex's face was probably in the top 5 of most Taskmaster things I've ever seen in 13 seasons.
I laughed so hard at that I couldn’t breathe 😂😂 between the “eat your fucking worm”, the random throwing of things in his face, the net and the twerking cat waxing his arm saying the most unenthusiastic Meow ever I almost died wheezing 😂😂😂
the idea that Alex likes birds somehow translating into them treating HIM like a bird somehow making sense to all three of them just... boggles my mind and makes me so happy
I thought it was the greatest opportunity for a "it remembers the _last person_ to have been on it" joke but apparently I was the only one who realized this.
@@404usernotfound_ Series 7, my favourite series. 5 brillant contestants, and the single greatest moment in taskmaster history. I won't spoil it, but those in the know will know which one I mean when I say "stationery".
I love the fact that he’s incredibly affable and also always ready to stab another contestant in the back. It’s the equal and opposite of chaos gremlin Rhod Gilbert who is constantly being betrayed by the people he just defended.
Believe it or not, he refused to watch the show before he was asked, because he really wanted to be on it and was annoyed that they didn't go across the street to his agent to invite him.
On the Taskmaster subreddit, people who were at this recording, said that Bridget had like a 15 minute presentation about foxes and why they are amazing. I really want to see this as an outtake.
There are the full series 13 outtakes here on the Taskmaster channel, but I don't know whether they included any of that, as I'm only watching them once the series 13 episodes are done uploading.
If you haven't seen the studio outtake from Chris' shoe task, do yourself a favor and go find it. It's a short called "Chris Ramsey gets so excited, he forgets he is watching himself" and it is delightful!
I'm searching thru comments to try & find what Alex's word was at the beginning. (Replayed it a bazillion times & still can't understand.) Upon reading your comment, I've immediately put the title into the search bar & will be watching directly after. Thank You :)
The thing I love about this season is the cast banter whenever they're together. This may be one of my favorite casts, and I honestly didn't think that would be the case before this season.
I just love how sometimes Bridget do the tasks on the worst way it can be done (asking for every single shoe) but then uses all of her brain to say "alex turn around" so it doesn't see the others shoes
"All the information is on the task" took me out xD well done, Chris. This is the first series where I am unfamiliar with most of the cast, but I love all of them already.
Random fun fact about the "cut in half and search" thing, is that's how you find faults in electrical systems like fire alarm systems. If one of the dozens of sensors is malfunctioning, you isolate half of them and check: if the fault vanishes, you know it's further down the line than the isolated part, and if it doesn't you know it's closer up the line than the isolated part. You just keep segmenting and dividing the segments until you narrow it down to the malfunctioning part.
That "make a speech out of the bunting" task is one of my favorites in the whole show. Didn't expect it at all and everyone's speeches were great for different reasons.
That shoe task is one of the best they've ever done, and each way everyone did it showed how genius this cast was. Their chemistry I think was up there with Season 7. Ardal demeaning everyone's prize task ("It doesn't remember me!"), especially comparing foxes to crack addicts after Bridget apparently talked about them for like 5 minutes straight...My favorite season.
I'm loving this cast, and honestly before the season I didn't expect to like them this much. I didn't know much about Judy Love coming into this season, but she's a treasure.
Taskmaster buoyed me through the pandemic. I keep thinking I can't love it more (constantly proven wrong), and then it goes and puts all the things I love about it in a cannon and shoots it out with confetti with this episode. Freaking brilliant. Carry on.
@@WINLOVE I wasn't thinking of this episode when i commented it. I was *mostly* thinking of an outtake from the episode she brought in a fan as "the best thing to hold above your head" in which she complained about not being allowed to offer a baby as a prize, and a comment about cooking, drinking wine, and breastfeeding at the same time. But her general being is hilarious especially when combined with that remark so take what thou willt.
An interesting twist on the shoe task would be if the shoe Alex was thinking of was one of the ones that the comedians were wearing, rather than just a random shoe.
Chris Ramsey is my favorite Taskmaster contestant of all-time, just edging out Mike Wozniak and Johnny Vegas. I like almost every contestant but those three are beyond wholesome and delightful to watch.
I loved the shoe task. a simple binary search puzzle is so fun. all seeing the puppy dog of a man saying ‘no way!’ with increasing enthusiasm was adorable
The bird stag do is one of those Taskmaster moments that's going to live in my head for absolute eternity. I'm gonna be thinking about that one on my goddamn death bed.
I absolutely adore Alex's genuine excitement towards reading his word, his confusion over the word, and then the horror that washes over him when he learns it's meaning.
23:33 I noticed how Bridget's hand is fading at the side here, which makes it seem like she's either edited in or she's being slowly erased from the timeline.
It took 13 series', but we finally found a contestant who could break Alex. I wonder, if it hadn't been for Bridget, would Alex have said "for fuck's sake" when asked by Munya to repeatedly throw a tennis ball over the house...? :D
After watching all 12 previous series - which were each excellent - I think the opening gift segment of this episode is the greatest! Incredibly hilarious.
At around the 15 minute mark i suddenly had a thought. What if they used commands instead of questions. "Tell me if the shoes had laces." instead of "do the shoes have laces?" But also, ask if it's on a certain side of the room then narrow it down to quadrants
Alex's confusion at his bird-themed stag do (which he does not understand is supposed to be bird-themed, and from his point of view must be utterly surreal) made me laugh so hard my stomach hurt, tears were forming in my eyes, and my roommate was staring at me in legitimate concern.
The episode that forever changed how I heard the words "no way" in my head
I know exactly what you mean !! It happened to me also. Lol
Yep. I've been saying "no way!" like Chris for weeks.
No way!
New wheyyy!
Knew whey!
With 15 seconds left, Judi decided "somebody has to twerk at this thing and I guess it's gotta be me"
i think they got 4 because of her lmao
as soon as judi started trying to get other people to twerk I KNEW she was gonna end up being the one twerking
When she suggested it in the planning stage, they both looked at her as if to say "You're the one who brought it up, so I guess it's you."
That killed me
🤣🤣🤣

Genuinely the angriest I've seen Alex at any contestant was at Bridget not saying her line after every question.
He gets quite visibly annoyed with her at a few points this series 😂
@@amberdawn5372 "Stop talking to the camera people!"
@@amberdawn5372She's probably the dumbest person i've ever seen.

glad they gave chris the "no way" line because it sounds great in his accent lmao
NO WAY!

It was hilarious but awful - I can't believe they got 4 points for that chaos.
the idea that Alex likes birds somehow translating into them treating HIM like a bird somehow making sense to all three of them just... boggles my mind and makes me so happy
"We did provide all the letters for that and an extra "K" because we got it slightly wrong" was my favourite part 😂
As Chris Ramsey might say, “No way!”
It tickled Greg so much
It’s my favorite when something goes slightly wrong for the production team 😂
i loved series 12 bc of how supportive they were of each other and i love series 13 bc of how much they will tear into each other for a point or two
Ardal destroyed me with the " it never remembers me" joke. Top 10
Well, it's a joke as old as memory foam mattresses themselves, but still funny though. Especially with his delivery.
Still funny
@@darkpuppetlordful Sure; For the easily entertained
I thought it was the greatest opportunity for a "it remembers the _last person_ to have been on it" joke but apparently I was the only one who realized this.
Can a memory foam mattress be used as a trampoline?
Love how they refer to the walkway thing as the "knappet" lolol referring to when Jessica Knappet fell off the stage
That was one of the funniest moments.
What season was that?
@@404usernotfound_ series 7
What part of the Ep does someone fall? I missed the Knappet lol
@@404usernotfound_ Series 7, my favourite series. 5 brillant contestants, and the single greatest moment in taskmaster history. I won't spoil it, but those in the know will know which one I mean when I say "stationery".
Ardal O’Hanlon is perfect for Taskmaster. He is affable, incompetent, and constantly stirring up shit with the other contestants.
I love the fact that he’s incredibly affable and also always ready to stab another contestant in the back. It’s the equal and opposite of chaos gremlin Rhod Gilbert who is constantly being betrayed by the people he just defended.
He always seems surprised when he makes everyone laugh with his quips. He was such an execellent choice for the series.
"You threw them further than the others."
"Yeah."
Genuinely the heaviest I have laughed at Taskmaster!
Chris: "All the information was on the task."
Ah, the rare Taskmaster contestant who has clearly actually watched Taskmaster before. Amazing.
Believe it or not, he refused to watch the show before he was asked, because he really wanted to be on it and was annoyed that they didn't go across the street to his agent to invite him.
That was a fun episode of the Masktaster Codpast.
I think he watched when he did finally get cast
He heard it a hundred times from alex like every other contestant
@@OwlRTABut why did he want to be on it so badly if he had never watched it. . .?
When Sophie hung the shoe and glared at Alex with that 'this could be you' look, I nearly fell outta my chair!!! 🤣🤣🤣

yeah but it's mainly thanks to ardal
@@kingofcarrotflowers2930 Not at all.
@@robertcampbell8070 yeah ardal provokes on purpose like the "recreate your coolest photo" task
Sophie's killer look every time was so much fun, even though she didn't do it on purpose.
32:30 Greg and Alex synchronized finger-pointing really made my day
Judi explaining the Duvet with that straight face is everything. It really brings out her personality.
"Sister-Queen, don't do it" 💀💀💀
I love Judi
One of my favourite quotes from Taskmaster that I try to use more in my life.
Her behavior and lack of manners piss me off
I just love how sometimes Bridget do the tasks on the worst way it can be done (asking for every single shoe) but then uses all of her brain to say "alex turn around" so it doesn't see the others shoes
"it" ????? 😂
@@mayapplesauce1396 english is not my first language, if i write something bad, i didn't notice
@@Jerekpomarquez no worries i just found it funny that you would refer to Alex as a thing not a person hahaha
42:45 Love how Ardal falls down simultaneously with his own doll, kinda like voodoo. Guy has PERFECT timing..LOL
"I am seven types of rank tit," has fully killed me. 🤣
“It doesn’t scan!” is the least of the problems with your speech, Ardal.
The bird stag party literally had my wife crying with laughter.
Meow.
Me too! I hurt my back, I was laughing so much. 😂🤣
I was crying 😂
And Judy as always doing things with as little enthusiasm as possible
The look of absolute confusion on Alex’s face gets me every time 😂
I love that they still call it the Knappett.
Truly! That was such a tribute to her event.😅
"All the information is on the task" took me out xD well done, Chris. This is the first series where I am unfamiliar with most of the cast, but I love all of them already.

It's called binary search, you cut the search space in half each time
My absolute favourite episode of the entire season. That shoe task is the best
No way!
@@connorlomas1108 I agree, yet disagree. The banner task was way better
'It doesn't remember me' is my favourite quote from this episode.
Asking 5 times the questions as there are shoes. Now that's impressive
Twerking cat with no facial expression whatsoever will forever haunt me in my nightmares
Did Judi “find that puss-face and come for you“?
meow.
meow.
Chris' pure, unfettered enjoyment of the things the other contestants say is a wonderful thing. 😄❤
This is one of the best casts. All of them bring a certain chaos to the show
That "make a speech out of the bunting" task is one of my favorites in the whole show. Didn't expect it at all and everyone's speeches were great for different reasons.
I want a gif of Greg and Alex pointing at Chris when he said "all the information was on the task" lollll
the twerking cat dancing perfectly in time to the over-dubbed music while meowing had me in stitches.
That guilt tripping "Sister Queen" ✊🏾 Judi throws in-gets me every time 😆😆😆
This episode might be one of my favourites. Simply because that "NO WAY!" is stuck in my head
No way!
This is one of the most insane episodes of taskmaster yet, truly incredible
Bridget always looks so cool!!!
Her costumes are really fantastic each time.
fun fact! She said on the Taskmaster podcast that all of her studio outfits fit a "western" theme to match her task outfit
I think she looks eccentric, it matches her behavior.
She even suited the boiler suit from last episodes final task!
That shoe task is one of the best they've ever done, and each way everyone did it showed how genius this cast was.

Or his own.
32:28 Chris throwing Alex's line at Judi lmao
This episode is Taskmaster at its finest. From the prize task to the live task and everything in between - pure perfection.

The owl with the crossword puzzle joke had me 😂

NO WAY!!
The owl thinking it can do a crossword and the memory foam mattress thar forgets me. Hallelujah
6:18 Ardal should have been award so many bonus points for that line that he retroactively won all the previous series of Taskmaster.
Yeah too bad bonus points have been abolished but I can see the reasoning behind it.
"They (foxes) skulk around the suburbs in the middle of the night like a jazz drummer trying to score heroin." - Ardel
I just want to say I loved this panel of comedians. Definetly my favorites.
The bird stag do is one of those Taskmaster moments that's going to live in my head for absolute eternity. I'm gonna be thinking about that one on my goddamn death bed.
After twelve seasons, Bridget has said it. All they have to do is suck up to him.
It’s not rocket science.
The Asim Chaudhry technique
I could watch Chris Ramsey say "no way"every day!
Chris just seems to be enjoying himself immensely. And he’s a joy to watch!
32:35 The faces of guys who appreciates someone who understands the show. They have adopted Chris.
"My memory mattress never remembers me" - oh Ardal, what a genius.
Alex’s socks during the shoe task were an instant answer. They mimicked the shoes.
I didn't even notice that!
Wow. I was wondering what the trick was!
The banter from everyone in the first 7 minutes of the episode is nothing short of gold
The fact that she managed to ask 160+ question is absolutely mind blowing to me and killed me with laughter. NO WAY!!!!
I absolutely adore Alex's genuine excitement towards reading his word, his confusion over the word, and then the horror that washes over him when he learns it's meaning.
My absolute favorite episode of the whole show series. I love Judy Love so much it's ridiculous
That duvet discourse was so bonkers.
I’ve no ideas who she is but, her facial expressions kill. She’s got that down to an art.
i feel the need to point out her shirt to you - she was born in 1980 😭
A new Taskmaster episode posted? NO WAY!
This cast is just so well chosen. Perfect balance of personalities.
this is such a good cast and season so far. love the attitudes, the banter between tasks, between everyone. i love everything about it
ramsey's binary search technique warmed my compsci heart
23:33 I noticed how Bridget's hand is fading at the side here, which makes it seem like she's either edited in or she's being slowly erased from the timeline.
The editing of the final studio task is brilliant
It took 13 series', but we finally found a contestant who could break Alex.
I wonder, if it hadn't been for Bridget, would Alex have said "for fuck's sake" when asked by Munya to repeatedly throw a tennis ball over the house...? :D
I love Bridget. This season was definitely my favourite ❤️
Alex, your task is to upload another full episode of Taskmaster. You have one week. Your time starts now!
The bird stag party is one of those things on this show that is so ridiculous that I can't stop laughing.
After watching all
12 previous series - which were each excellent - I think the opening gift segment of this episode is the greatest! Incredibly hilarious.
This is one of my all time favorite episodes of this show. I genuinely can't watch this one without pausing it because I laugh too hard to keep up
At around the 15 minute mark i suddenly had a thought. What if they used commands instead of questions. "Tell me if the shoes had laces." instead of "do the shoes have laces?"
But also, ask if it's on a certain side of the room then narrow it down to quadrants
Love how this episode brings back the “under the table” callback from series 1!
Alex’s tiny panic attack at 26:16 followed by utter confusion 😂
I honestly think Shoe Who is my all-time favorite task! I just keep coming back to it!
Alex's confusion at his bird-themed stag do (which he does not understand is supposed to be bird-themed, and from his point of view must be utterly surreal) made me laugh so hard my stomach hurt, tears were forming in my eyes, and my roommate was staring at me in legitimate concern.
Chris saying no way is simply adorable
Chris ramsey got a new fan in me. Great lad, really smart and good banter
I love that they refer to the stage as the knappett
Judi Love was made for this show.
Love how counterintuitive it is the realization if you divide everything in half it only takes seven questions for the shoe task
"So what's it called?"
"Shoe Who.
...Guess shoe."
LOL
"Can the bird be wearing a thong?" That was a true laugh out loud moment.
Just a bunch of geniuses being absolute idiots together, this cast ❤️
OMG Judi Love twerking while saying "meow... meow..." was surprisingly hilarious to me ! Mad twerking cat indeed !
I love this show's Easter eggs like having the stag countdown timer look like Tim Key's reindeer skull from S1 E1.
Some of the greatest prize task banter in the history of the program.
Alex being VISIBLY annoyed at bridget is SO FUNNY
This season’s cast has had the best prize task banter!!! I’ve laughed so hard during each one!
