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.

The fact that Morgana called that there would be a secret cake room is fantastic.
what's betting they added the label after her run just to add to the fun of it 😂
I hope it was there to start with! It was just too good.
@@shinybugg9156 That little shed off the caravan has been labeled as a secret room before in segue shots. It isn't out of the realm of reasonability that it might have been labeled as the secret cake room from the start of the task.
Immediately thought of the Portal Series when I read this.
Liza Tarbuck changed the world. Little Alex Horne went into that shed a boy and left a changed and inspired man...
I honestly believe Alex Horne has never eaten and will never eat a profiterole again after that experience…i know i wouldn’t
@@MoneyChanger02He does *other* things with profiteroles, now.
@@MoneyChanger02 He does eat them, just through the other entrance now.
He was a different man!
"It's not telling, is it, love? It's showing!" - I love how she ran off, giggling, after poor little Alex waddled out from the shed.
I'm surprised the shelf behind them didn't have cakes made up to look like objects. You know those master bakers who make cakes that look like something else.
ohh, I like that idea!
@@FiXato The whole set was cake, just nobody thought to look. What a colossal waste of time effort and ingredients that was
I thought the same thing with the chair they were sitting on lol
Those aren’t cake
They literally gave them a cake in the envelope. If you sat on the letter, you sat on "a cake", the words in the letter.
"You weren't actually that preoccupied with the time thing, you were second slowest" was such a brutal yet casually spoken burn.
Victoria normalizing having a cake on you at all times was the best part of this task
Ol' Goosebump Arms is prepared for all eventualities.
@@Tao_Tology except for tasks that require good eyesight, as it seems
@@iliketrains3495 Well, one doesn't want to show off too much.
But a flapjack isn't a cake...
@@ElvenSpellmaker A pancake?
It's so sweet that even though it's against the clock, Alan still took the time to sing 'Happy Birthday'
Well that's what makes it a cake. Otherwise it's just be a flaming paper cylinder innit?
@@brugbo613 Interesting... So by that theory, anything that you sing happy birthday at turns into a cake?
@@glennkurtzrock Only if the thing has tiny candles burning on it while you sing.
he led an abnormal life
Alex is carrying around that task ever since he sat on the cake. Literally. It went pretty far up in there.
He was a different man…
Ad he himself said on that fateful day:
"I was open"
it was so....in him
Greedy bottom
We all know alex won that task
We all know which previous contestant inspired this task too.
He's certainly *open* to the accolade...
@@peterclarke7006😂
True
THE ONE WITH THE BEARD @@Elwaves2925
"Croissants is Croissants" - Alex Horne
Frankie Boyle would argue all day long that Alan's representation of a cake was, in fact, a cake
"Because of the nature of language, man!" is one of my favorite responses to anything!
If you asked a kid "what is that?" they'd say "a cake" not a piece of taped paper with candles.
The task doesn't say literal cake. Figurative cake would be good enough.
1:58 you just knew the producers would be absolutely punching the air when morgana said that 🤣
Being a tv production it is entirely possible that they added the sign to match the word later and then filmed the outside.
@@Cryten0 possible. But it was a quote on quote "secret cake room"
@@insertgenericusernamehere2402 Oh certainly I think they where delighted for the trick room to be found and used.
I love how Morgana and Alex just kept full eye contact throughout the sit, and then both broke after 😂
I’m glad they gave credit to Alan, since they allowed a flapjack without any debate.
Pancake. Cake made in a pan. A pan fried cake.
Versus construction paper.
@@chrismanuel9768British flapjacks aren’t pancakes. They’re more like tastier, fattier granola bars.
@@Kep27966 You mean the snack bar which isn't a pancake. The slang for pancake flapjack is very much British in origin.
@@insaincaldoWhat do you actually think VCM had in her bag, a pancake or an oat bar?
@@Kep27966 You might wanna read that back.
If I sit on my butt, and butt is cake in slang, does that count? Then again, I wouldn't want its quality judged on television.
I had the exact same thought process 😭
"I'm already sat on cake, but please don't objectify me 😤😔"
This is why you'd ask alex to lie down and sit on his butt.
They just said "cake", I would argue a cake of soap or a urinal cake would have fit the bill.
Thank you for letting me know I was not the only one to go down this thought process.
I would have sat on Alex.
The three basic food groups: Meat, vegetables, and cake.
I appreciate the scoring being included, having it not be there in the older task videos definitely lessened them.
"it did take her as long as it would take to go to France and sit on a gateaux"😂😂😂 5:14 wish someone had actually done that!
Does Alan blow out the candles with the World 1-1 music from Super Mario Bros at 6:17?
Had to go back to watch that. You're right! There is a cut between the candles and Alan sitting, but it tracks! There's a Super Mario fan in the editing department for sure!
“Right, Alex lay down on your front.”
Job done, there’s a cake to sit on right there.
"The writers barely disguised fetish"
Honestly shocked there aren’t more comments about it, it’s SO barely disguised in this instance
Yeah likeeeeeeeee HELLO?,..,,..
Or, a callback to a previous iconic moment on the show.
Somebody liked it the most.
I like that Morgana took the longest and yet she won the most points
It's basic maths.
Best cake wins five points. One point for sitting on the cake. Minimum six points.
The most anyone else can win is five points for fastest.
Spend a day making a great cake. You still win.
@@Zed08gjrkfn Well, sort of. If two people had baked cakes (or if someone had come up with a tactic like "order in a cake from a supremely fancy baker"), then you might have some difficulty.
@@roguishpaladin lol that would have been a Russell Howard move
Seeing her guilty pleasure of mushing bakery up in her crotch while saying "surprisingly nice" is good tv. Worth a lot of points.
6:16 Alan blows the candles out perfectly in tune with the Super Mario theme song.
Brilliant
Alex designed this task as therapy for his previous experience 🎂
@4:14 the guilty pleasure look on Morgana's face - priceless!
“Do we have to make the cake? Oh fuck you if that’s the right answer.” Hahaha 😂😂😂
There definitely is a market for Morgana's video.
I mean... Just her facial expressions had me jumping into a cold shower... 😂
I didn't think I was that market but I have some confusing new feelings around sitting on cakes now.
@@Jambobist it's always good to be *open* to new experiences...
Look, it's not my thing... but after seeing that? I get it.
@@chrismanuel9768 "women sitting on cake" is not a kink I thought I had, but Morgana definitely made me question myself.
I love that this was in the 100th episode, giving a nice nod to a previous Taskmaster champion 🎂
Morgana baking the cake to sit on is one of the best moments of the whole show.
ALAN BLEW OUT THE CANDLES AND SAT ON THE CAKE IN THE EXACT RHYTHM OF THE MARIO THEME
1:44 There is always cake in the bananastand
This was a very funny task. Desiree’s laughter throughout makes me smile. 😊
As someone who's experienced fasting hypoglycemia, I fully support Victoria's flapjack policy. I imagine she's the kind of person who gets so stuck into her work she forgets to eat so just has that little bit of glucose handy at all times.
One of the top 5 seasons both in terms of tasks ad casts.
Desiree's reaction to the task is always a classic. Loved this as a little nod to S6 and the show as a whole!
Always loved the opening sequence to this task. A nice little ride through the past
6:16 he did the bloody Mario theme tune 🤣
I love this task because they can take a fairly innocuous thing that's been done, what's the cake?, and still make it entertaining because of the taskmaster effect.
I was expecting a Jaffa cake from the pantry, followed by a discussion about whether or not it is a cake or a biscuit. 😂
‘I was open’
Morgana is just fabulous. And she can bake a cake. Magnificent woman!
When she sat on the cake and it was foam... I see a future task of "sit on the cake" with twenty options and the usual "player can cut into 2, bite into 3, sniff 2" etc stuff to figure out which one is the actual cake.
Gotta love that cake tin hanging on the kitchen wall.. subte, yet suggestive.
Subtle. Damn cheap keyboard.
Anyone else notice Alan blew his candles out to the rhythm of the super Mario bros theme?
4:15 the eye contact 😂
So do we agree that Little Alex Horne made this task with one purpose only, to make it harder to find the video of him receiving love from Lisa in the shed
Should have saved this for Champion of Champions for Liza. In fact, all C of C tasks should be throw backs to stuff the participants did to Alex in their seasons.
The brilliant Morgana
You could fill a book with the callbacks on this show.
I'm so glad Victoria didn't get shafted on the points due to a technicality or something. Plus Morgana out here proving that for 5 bonus points you can take your sweet time and still effectively win the task
We all know that the person with the best looking butt who was sitting down while reading the task won that task. cake = slang for fine looking butt.
i LOVE the way they all say “kwasonce”, i replayed that bit a few too many times 💀
Just checked, and the little bit on the time bar that shows "most rewatched" is Morgana's backside slowly being lowered onto a cake. Greg was right, there clearly is a market for that.
Absolutely, but I was more delighted by watching Alex's facial expressions in the background. I don't think he was ready for the full eye-contact in that moment.
With all credit to Liza Tarbuck. Alex just sitting casually next to a fire extinguisher during Morgana's attempt is a highlight.
Perfect squat cobbler
Maybe it's like Hellmann's mayonnaise and it has a different name west of the Mississippi.
yeah, i would have made a cake-in-a-mug with that microwave
Oh yeah...there's a market.
Pro Tip: In the settings, put the playback speed at 0.25.
This was the best series of TM. Victoria and Morgana rightfully won this task 🙂
Omg , what a great comeback for Alex, everybody remembers the cake he sat on bare arsed
I feel like this is dangerously close to cakefarts
No literally !!!!!!!!!!! This is weeeeeeeird
I hope that "there's always a cake on the taskmaster premises" becomes relevant in a later season
Write “The best cake”, sit on it, job done.
I'm surprised nobody cut their cake, nobody shared pieces. Task did not contain "the whole cake". D = dedication!
Im surprised noone google best cake of all time images and then sit on the cake picture
I was convinced the diving helmet was a cake.
Surprised no one went to the bathroom and took the cake of soap 😂
My thoughts exactly!
Would probably be disqualified. No one calls it a cake of soap. Bar of soap yes. Maybe find a urinal cake and that would count.
I can't speak about cakes. But I do know a guy that's a great squat cobbler.
I'm betting when they planned this, they expected whoever did what Desiree did would get 10.0 points.
Then Morgana made her sparkler surprise and Victoria pulled a flapjack from nowhere.
So the pocket flapjack paid off 😂😂
absolutely fell in love with morgana just now, for several reasons
Don’t ask me to defend this, but Alan’s cake was more of a cake than Victoria’s flapjack.
Well in the United States, we call the flapjack a “pancake”, so as much as I hate what Victoria did, I have to admit it was pretty convenient and convincing.
Also, other names for pancakes are “hot cakes” and “griddle cakes”.
@@datguiser British flapjacks are not the same as North American flapjacks. Especially seeing them have to bake flapjacks on Bake Off, the difference between those and pancakes is pretty big.
@@lhfirex Yes, a British flapjack is much closer to a granola bar than a pancake.
Flapjacks are tray bakes. Tray bakes are cakes. Or at least tray bakes are sweet baked goods sold in bakeries along side cakes and pastries such as croissants. So either everyone is disqualified except Morgana. Or in descending order of cakiness Guz and Victoria are just behind Morgana.
@@franciscopozole That’s ridiculous. By your definition, shortbread is cake.
I love how they seems to call everything cake
Or pudding
It's too bad that, probably for legal reasons, Alex couldn't ask them to sit on the cake bare-arsed.
shout outs to Ryan Davis.
Ray Smuckles sent me and that's all I am going to say about this task.
Jesus Christ Ray goes to some nasty websites what the hell man
the edit is genius
perfect Game Theory from Morgan, when the base score is 1 - 5 on a timed task, and there are 5 bonus points on the line, it's worth taking as long as you need to make sure you fulfil the bonus criteria the best, because no matter how slow you are, you'll still get most points that round
Little disappointed that desiree didn't just sit on an empty chair claiming that she has the best cakes in the house.
Ray Smuckles's favourite Taskmaster challenge
Morgana knew the whole time that this would end up as an onlyfans gif that follows her for the rest of her life.
pornography has been real quiet since this dropped
I would've just drawn one, but the paper cake works too. Lol
Fair and just. Long live the Taskmaster
Would it have counted if one of the participants sat on the challenge letter? I mean...the text contained 'a cake' in words.
I love how morgana says room
"If you follow the rules of science, you'll get a lovely rise."
It always annoyed me Lisa wasn't mentioned during the whole of that task. All the fans know of course but all the world should that this was her doing :)
It did say, "secret cake room". So that's a cake.
My first thought was to draw a cake on a piece of paper and sit on it.
My experience watching better call Saul tells me this is actually the writers barely disguised…
Cake, a block of compacted or congealed matter. Sit on anything that is compacted or congealed.
I'd say Victoria's was the best cake for the task, though, as it makes the least mess, and could still be considered a cake after being sat upon.
Cant believe no one thought to sit on Alex’s rear.
RIP Ryan Davis.
I would probably have baked 1 pancake, it takes just 5 to 10 minutes and you can decorate it if you want
So who else thinks there was a spectacular cake hidden in the shed that no one found? You know, in honor of Liza's life changing influence? I'm a little disappointed the contestants didn't 'get' this reference. Aren't they fans of the show? Desiree and Morgana looked like they had fun though.
This just made me forget about being a doomed US citizen for 10 minutes. Thank you.
Liza Tarbuck is visionary
Points wise, the best way to do this task was to ignore the time portion and go all out on the cake. If you lock that in, you can get 6 or more points! That’s how I would have interpreted it anyway.
Surprised no one made a quick pancake and sat on it.
Victoria had one (flapjack = pancake) to hand.
@AndrewTBP British flapjacks are more like granola bars than pancakes
@@BlueManIan This just made me look up what American flapjacks are and now I'm mildly annoyed they call them that.
Did anyone pickup that it would have been mathematically sounder to not care about the time and make the best cake? Morgana got 6 points when all summed up.
Isn't cake sitting literally a fetishized content made by creators online?? This is a...unique task...
