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.
Seeing “I’m always seeing you do cool stuff” and “Rosalind’s a f*****g nightmare” back to back is maybe the greatest thing I’ve ever experienced.
Additionally, the fact that she didn’t smile at Nish and Mark’s song makes me think that the stunningly offensive second song was well warranted.
@@Mansfiery she did tap her foot though which is better than I thought we would have got out of her lol
I think you mean "I’m always seeing you (do cool stuff)".
Lmao my girlfriend suggested that maybe Roz heard the “nightmare” song first?? Hence the lack of reaction to “seeing you do cool stuff” until she realized it was actually consistantly good lmao
@@sharad1473 "I’m always seeing you [do cool stuff]" * XD
The greatest part about "Rosalind's a nightmare" is that Bob didn't sing for 90% of it, except for the moments where they insulted her most where he jumps in with the most enthusiasm I've seen from him.
I came to the comments specifically to find others who found this notable lol
ROSALINDS A FUCKING NIGHTMARE 😂
He's really something lol
TRUE😂😂😂😂
The man is a national treasure
Nish and Mark wrote a genuinely good song. I can't believe that lady sat there with such a straight face.
Keep in mind, she's a fucking nightmare.
Her toe was beginning to twitch.
she was probably instructed not to do anything
i dont know which "band" performed for her first but if it was "products of conception" then perhaps the reason was fear of having her name slandered once more lmao
It's like picking bits of pollen from a mouse's handkerchief! :)
I like how her favorite musician is mozart and her favorite movie is hangover 1 and 2.
The duality of man
MozArt is also a name of polish band (aka Grupa MoCarta).
@@ikaro555 she’s not a nightmare :(
could you elaborate?
@@lunasorree7177 the song
@@Martina-vg4kp i literally came here to say exactly this lmfaooo
Nish and Marks song might be the best thing thing to come from this show, they both look so happy performing it as well
Bob Jones it was the perfect end to the series! I see why they left this task to last haha
@@Katielovegood44 apart from Rosalind is a nightmare
The song is so good on its own, but when it's contrasted with the genuine shit that is "Rosalind is a Nightmare" it becomes comedic gold.
It was amazing
I love that song... I watch it over and over.
“Do we strike you?”
My first assumption when I meet any stranger as well.
i lost it from there LMAO
Ikr????
At least he asked haha and didn't just lunge at her hahahah
Love Bob Mortimer's questions.
The trio’s song was actually quite catchy for such an insulting chorus. The pacing was awesome and they all sung pretty well lmao. I enjoyed the trio, but Mark and Nish made me fucking cry
Underrated moment is when Alex is just sprinting across the yard to fix things that get knocked over by the wind, like a manger desperately trying to save a concert
omg
I always love how much Alex genuinely wants to see them succeed. Like in the most reason season they've uploaded, Alex always seems a little disappointed when Alice seems to forget what she's doing or is a little obtuse, but itxs never in a mean way. Or when he takes part in a task in a way most people would say no to because it's gross or uncomfortable.
oh how i would love for the manger to save our christmas concert. it's been a little inactive in the organisation process so far, just standing there all wooden like ._.
Underrated by whom? What should be the rating of this moment?
I suspect wolfey was huffing and puffing everything away
underrated moment is aisling and sally losing it laughing after hearing the first genuinely good song and realizing “rosalinds a fucking nightmare” is about to play
Their song was good too. It´s just a slightly different take on Rosalind
What should be the rating of this moment? Half of commenters claim that yet another moment is "underrated"
king did u just ctrl+f the word “underrated” and leave this reply on every comment. and if so why
@@D0CT0RECT0C00LR no.

We do beg your pardon..but we're in your garden.

@@elvisjames are you the "snipers dream" 😂😂
Better crack an egg in that bath.
Like fingerprints on an abandoned handrail
@@UnthinkableFairytales Depends whether he uses Fuji IX or not
I’ve watched this at least 5 times and I only just realized that she meant that the viola player had lost his fingers and so he could no longer play the viola, and not that he lost three fingers and so his partner left him
Of course!
Oh, thats it, I was shocked by it, but this explains a lot
Oh! I just thought that there relationship was unduly impacted by the loss of the fingers...
😂😂😂😂 fkn hell same
@@namedjasonc That could go in so many directions...
Honestly the most impressive thing is Sally’s bullshit harmony that somehow works so well and saves their entire song from being just yelling insults at an old lady
Honestly yes like it surprisingly worked?
It totally worked. It was like a Pet Shop Boys or Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark or Tears for Fears or something.
@@sierrabetterley yes this is a great comparison, it sounded familiar but I couldn't quite put my finger on it
Yelling insults at an old lady 🤣🤣🤣
@@courtneyjames471 to be honest, she jumps quite far for a woman of her age!
"Do we strike you?"
I've concluded that Bob is testing the limits of this simulation that we call life, by saying and doing the most chaotic things possible at every moment. That is his whole existence.
If anyone can create an unhandled exception in the Universe, it's Bob.
Bob mortimer is single handedly the most obscure and terrifying individual. The things that he has done across his life, no single human has any right to have as many good stories. The dude is a legend
And that without jumping to another parallel Universe. Takes some skill.
@@wontonsamurai6248Anyone who’s named the Cockroach King in his 20s is destined for greatness
"Hello lady...." is underrated.
FACTS
It’s the only reaction anyone seemed to get from Rosalind.
What should be the rating then?
@@neithere It should have an entire video to itself.
Shoutout to Elvis Duran. If you know you know.
the fact that this cultured and distinguished woman’s favorite movie is the hangover
well you cannot deny the What do Tiger's Dream Of song was inspired
@k c which song is that? You can't just say it and not give us the name
Cor blimey... it's a light entertainment comedy programme...comedic effect??? Not really her favourite films? Doesn't really have two inept sons? Isn't a translator in real life???
Nish's introduction to their band is such an underrated joke
"Diverse Stripes"
"Jack Brown"
"Sister/wife"
I'm glad I'm not the only one who saw that
I thought nish said "Sister/white"
@@stan7aaron474 I think it is wife/sister as a nod to the fact that for a long time nobody knew if Jack and Meg from the White Stripes were siblings or spouses.
I spit out my drink 🤣
I always thought he said "wife's sister"
I just came here to rewatch Mark and Nish's song. Genuinely the most competent thing to come out of Taskmaster, period.
I honestly wanna be able to download it. It's so nice!
it is unironically such a banger. i’d listen to it on spotify tbh
James Acaster's incredibly accurate recreation of GTA?
@@jkmott84 I prefer Do Cool Stuff, but the video games task is definitely another where everyone absolutely killed it.
Competent yes. Entertaining yes. My favorite of the two? Absolutely not. 😂
Maybe my favorite Task ever. Nish and Mark's song is legitimately great. Like an early Beatles song. Catchy, fun, clever. I was in tears at the contrast of Bob, Sally, and Aisling's masterpiece. "Rosalind's a fucking nightmare," I have to imagine was Bob making a joke in the prep, and Aisling and Sally just deciding no yeah, that's great. Sally's harmonies are amazing, Bob chiming in mostly in whispers, Aisling fully committed to this beautiful disaster. Also, underrated, I'm so impressed they rhymed 'septicemia.' I've watched this video every day this week. I absolutely love it.
you took the words out of my mouth. nobody's talking about how great sally's harmonies are!
@@andracatheduckking257 Some of it wasn't in tune (and she missed a great chance to harmonize upward at the end of the song, rather than follow the melody), but yeah, she did a better job than Mark. In his one bit of harmonizing at the end, he sang on the G chord all the way through, ignoring the chords Nish played on the guitar before finishing on G.
The Diverse Stripes' song was catchy but a ltitle banal, using a repetitive melody and super-simple, common chord progression. (But I admit it was pretty good, considering it was written in 30 minutes.) POC's song was less polished in performance, but it was technically more interesting and challenging to sing, and the way the tension built in the verses leading into the downright anthemiic chorus was brilliant.
jC3drums Ayyyy I was looking for a comment such as this :))
I agree, I think the Products of Conception's song is not getting enough credit. With a little polishing this could be a standard alternative rock song, something Chumbawamba would sing. And I really like Sally in it.
Even the weather is synchronised with the moods of both songs
“Have you stolen much in your life” I love where Bobs mind goes haha
I would pay to see the Diverse Stripes.
Diverse Stripes on tour NOW please!
literally
It’s only fitting that the signs get blown over during “Rosalind’s a Nightmare.”
nur der HSV!
Yonathan Gonzalez oh noch mehr Deutsche
You just know that the “ Rosalind is a fucking nightmare” line, was Bob’s idea.
"Quite Good Considering (Rosalind's a Fucking Nightmare)" is a prime example in how important a hook is for writing a catchy, memorable song
"Do we strike you?" Has to be one of the funniest lines in the whole show
Just perfectly delivered too
“The viola player, sadly, well, he contracted septicemia” and “But I’m a coward and I fear the wrath of Alan” are two of my favorite lines in any songs ever
The Nish and Mark friendship was the greatest thing in that series 😍
@Henk de Tank Are the Welsh and the British-Indians at war in the Middle East again? God damn it all.
Henk de Tank I see what you assumed there and it is remarkable how wrong you were on both counts lmaoooo. A man undone by two beards, it seems
I love how the first song is nice, melodic and the weather is nice. And in the second even the weather is chaotic
I can’t believe they didn’t give Rosalind better seats to the taping.
“I try my best but it’s never good enough” is a wonderful theme to Mark and Nish’s performances in this whole show
whoever edited in the red circle around the one tree in the yard w “tree” scribbled next to it during nish and mark’s song deserves accolades. perfect addition
Mark and Nish's song was when the person courted Rosalind and the other teams song was after they've spent significant time with her.
Almost like Romeo and Rosaline!
"Rosalind is a fucking nightmare!" makes me laugh so hard every damn time. Bob Mortimer commits unreasonably hard on just that part, and it is glorious.
I genuinely want to know how Alex found Roselind. She is legitimately interesting and yet is so cool about the whole thing.
He greets her with a kind of familiarity in the audience.i think she is a family friend or smth
Interesting and cool people attract other interesting and cool people I think
Before their bit came on, Nish and Mark are sooo excited to see it, knowing full well how good it was. It's the cutest thing ever.
I have seen every task performed on the show, and I still believe that what Nish and Mark did here was the best job anyone has ever done on any task.
For no apparent reason, Rosalind's adamancy that she not be able to fly cracks me up
Alex picking shit up in the background while the trio sings Rosalind’s A Fucking Nightmare is hilarious
Something that nobody talks about is that this was the last taped task of the series, meaning it ended on the highest note possible. Everyone's come out of their shells (Sally never really had one), Mark is no longer a heron, and Nish TOTALLY redeems himself (shh don't think about points Jack Brown is a great man)
And then Nish throws an egg directly at the rim one second into the studio task and blows his chance at winning an episode lmao
@@OwlRTA He didn't have a chance anyhow XD
The trophy is whatever, the song will go down in history.
@@LiberatedMind1 he was leading the episode as a result of this task and then blew it in the stage task
it's the last one they showed, not necessarily the last one they taped
@@SoloPerICommenti This is the dumbest thing to be pedantic about.
sally gets me so much in this task. the way she says “quite good, considering” and giving her all with that soprano… i love how nish is complimenting her harmonies afterwards and she goes “oh, no, i can’t sing!” she’s adorable
The fact that the first song was a proper Beatles tribute and the second was a proper U2 tribute, I’m fking dying
She jumps quite far for a woman of her age
Taskmaster genuinely needs to release a soundtrack. So many good songs have come out of this show (tree wizard, over my shoulder, these two)
The ballad of the toothless goon is another
I miss tree wizard
@@amandeep87 an absolutely underappreciated bop!!
Copy Alex task
GREG DAVIES I WANNA HAVE YOUR BABIES!!!
I love both songs. The first is shockingly good and Bob only managing to chime in for "fucking nightmare" gets me every single time
If you're taking suggestions for best ever task, may I suggest the secret handshake? Mel is an absolutely glorious human being.
I just love both songs as well!
The first is immeasurably fantastic, and the second has a rebel, indie vibe (they being off-key, end up being _quite good, considering_ )
Nonono this is by far the best ever task.
Bob also did the whispered "Alan" which really elevated the whole song.
Bob pitching in at "septicemia" is what sends me over the edge
No one mentioning that Mark tearing up is the cutest thing ever?
I totally absolutelly mindblowingly LOST IT when Bob sang "Rosalind is a Fucking Nightmare" (unfortunelly its bleeped in this clip)
This was absolutely my favorite season. Nish is so positive and watching him become friends with everyone was an absolute pleasure :)
Which season is this? Not on UA-cam yet?
Because I just binge watched the first 4 seasons and haven't seen Nish or Bob yet
@@suzanne2 This is on Season 5, Season 7 is the absolute best followed by 5, 2 and 1 are my favorite seasons.
I agree. I loved how they were all so supportive of one another. There seemed to be a great atmosphere filming it.
I would say 4, 5, 7 and 9 are my favorites.
@@bondfool To me it felt like the contestants in the later seasons got louder, but less funny.
Honestly one of the funniest damn things I've ever seen.
And Nish and Mark's song was actually really good.
They should’ve let Rosalind vote
Who is "they"? Eosalind can vote all she wants, but there is only room for one sovereign in this show and we all know who that is. But you are right, Greg was wrong one that one ;)
She seemed too unimpressed, it would have ruined the mood (although I suspect it was an act and she was told not to cheer)
@@Schleimkeim19 what do you mean Greg was wrong on that one?
0:41 "They're a bit inept at things." Cut immediately to Nish and Mark.
I think we, as fans, deserve a "Rosalind's a F***ing Nightmare" t-shirt or hat or something.
I love how the wind blows everything apart during "Rosalind's a f*cking nightmare", it really adds to how unhinged it is 😂
Nish got ridiculed all series but he is truly one of the best personalities on the show.
-Coconut Businessman
The first song feels like a john lennon and ringo star song about Yoko
The second one is probably how George and Paul felt about Yoko
Rish Sinha shit, I came here to say that lol
Marks smile after that mid-sonf drum fill was so genuine
There must be lots of tasks that were filmed and never shown for the tie break deciders... Would be great to see them..
I'd imagine there are also a few full, proper tasks that weren't selected as they didn't work out the way they were planned/weren't as broadcastable :) I'd love to see those too!
@@ScottKieran My guess, those tasks are the tiebreakers.
I think they think up the tiebreaker if there was a tie, the tasks are recorded way in advance at least 3 months before the actual show
@@raeserec535 They don't decide the scoring before the show airs, they don't know if they need a tiebreaker.
@@xXLoonoeXx exactly what i said they just think up if there was, i remember i think it was ep 2 series 1 where they guess frank skinner's age in minutes
the wind repeatedly knocking stuff down during rosalind is a fucking nightmare is so hilarious to me. just so chaotic all around
I love how Greg takes shots at Bob's line of questioning and suggests he was no use of his team, but most of it ended up being relevant in making one of the best moments of the show.
I cannot decide which is more brilliant, how brilliant the first song was, or how terrible the second was.
The second one was an act of genius
The second one could not make anyone feel good.
How can people be that wrong? The first song was just dull, the 2nd one was a passionate masterpiece.
I write songs and play the guitar myself and I can tell you that I could make a song on the level of the first one in less than 10 minuits.
@@Schleimkeim19 haha! Really! I get you tho if you're going by the level of difficulty. But the lyrics were kinda insulting and negative! Most common people would judge a song by how it makes them feel.
@@andreal5445 the negative lyrics is what makes it so good. We all assumed from the start it was gonna ba a positive, complimentary song especially after hearing the first song but it was the complete opposite and totally unexpected.
I love how delighted they are that Rosalind is in the audience
“Rosalind is a f***ing nightmare” genuinely sounds like a U2 song 😂😂
Nish and Mark should have at least gotten 12 points! Absolutely smashed it!
No joke, this is the best task for the entire series. Mark and Nish's song is amazing. I've watched this many times and am always happy.
Mark & Nish's song was WONDERFUL! Can't stop humming it!
I think if I had to show one task to sell Taskmaster to a friend, this might be it.
Yeah I did this, and it worked. While not illustrative of most of the show, it's just amazing.
i just realised that mark and alex have the same type of mannerisms and humor and i appreciate it so so so much
Is no one going to talk about the bomb name “Products of conception” that is a weird but cool name for a rock band no joke
Mark's and Nish's song was so unexpectedly good my mouth just fell open. May genuinely be one of the most life-affirming things I've ever seen
Nish and Mark have such Flight of the Conchords energy here. I love it.
The second she said that she and her friend used to burgle sweet shops as kids I wondered if Bob would quip "Oh I used to do the same thing 'till me mate got caught" or something.
Well to be fair, it wasn't sweets, it was fruit from a produce-seller's cart, and they didn't eat it. They threw it up in the air and let it come down on their heads... Gary Cheeseman - aka Cheesy (his nickname being a reference to his use of a cheese poultice to combat his acne) - was quite good at that game.
@@TheRepublicOfJohn it's cause he was a big lad
"hey look at that tree"
and a tree wizard was born
Well, Aisling has a career in a Deathmetal band if the comedy market ever dies. You can hear the grit in her voice
aisling's a comedian?
get these songs on spotify STAT
Not entirely convinced that Bob’s not some demon prince sent from the outer rims of hell to spread chaos among us mortals.
Just waiting for that claim to be on his WILTY card next and everyone on the panel just immediately says “TRUE” and they move on
The set falling apart, Alex desperately running around to fix everything, and Bob, Aisling, and Sally berating this poor woman will forever live in my head rent free
Bob chose to be violent to this woman for absolutely no reason. From "Do we strike you?" being the first thing he ever said to her to singing his heart out about her being a nightmare 😂
God, Aisling is absolutely amazing. I’ve never seen someone carry an entire song like that virtually on their own, with a straight face, while Bob Mortimer stands next to them and swears at a nice old lady.
This is the most interesting woman alive
The first song is build on self-directed criticism, the second one outward one.
Honestly, I can definitely hear Mark and Nish's song on a record. Very well done.
Mark and Nish's song is definitely worthy to top the real charts!
For real!
Great vocals, not a note missed, great playing, great composition-wise!
And that's coming from Nish!
GERIATRIC ATHLETE
Seriously, make Diverse Stripes a full-time band. That was just brilliant.
I come to this video every other week. Just to listen to Nish and Mark's song. Gives me a lot of joy. It's genuinely beautiful
I enjoy Mark and Nish’s song, but I simply love the Products of Conception and have had the “Rosalind’s an average cellist” line especially stuck in my head for a while, with Sally’s great harmonizing on that phrase in particular.
"ROSALIND'S A FUCKING NIGHTMARE!"
oh my god, i love Bob so much.
5:28 start of Ashling, Bob, and Sally's song
This is my fourth time watching this, and I've just now realized that when Sally said "do it in public" she meant play in the string quartet 😂😂😂
“We are the Brown Stripes and this is my wife/sister” had me rolling. I could never make that distinction between Jack/Meg growing up.
Nish and Marks song is a total banger
The Nish and Mark song is the best thing to ever happen in Taskmaster
Nish and Marks song was genuinely incredible, so good for 30 mins work
Hello from Canada. I've listened to this instant classic by Diverse Stripes over and over. I love it. I think it was one of the best moments of the whole series when the audience suddenly realized how good it was and there was a ripple of a sort of inhaling sound in the background.
I enjoyed Taskmaster up until this moment, and have absolutely loved it ever since.
Mark and Nish's friendship is one of the best things of this series
I come back and re-experience this at least once a month.
"But we captured the essence of her." ~Bob Mortimer
“Im always seeing you do cool stuff”
Repeats in my mind at least 20 times a day
There just was something about that first song that had me misty eyed by the end.
Maybe the ol' beatles soul where it springs from is the reason, idk. Lovely.
Best fucking task yet.
Mark and Nish are still my all time favorite celebrity couple. Long may they live!
2:25 start of Nish and Mark's song
