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. - Комедії
I’ll never get over the fact that Ed’s first instinct was to court a chickpea, film a dramatic death scene, and then fuck hummus. What an amazing man
This is a combination of words I never thought I'd lay my eyes upon. But hey it was worth it
thats a brand new sentence
What a day to speak the English language.
I get the impression both Alex and Lord Greg thought the other would back out, but didn't.
All of their moments are amazing because you watch those scenes and they have these little looks as they both egg each other on and make sure the other is okay with what they're about to do and it is fantastic
yeah they talked about it in the BAFTA Guru interview they did.
That's is why you don't play gay chicken if you don't want to kiss.
666th like. Back to Hell for me ~
@@steampunknord "We've been married for 17 years now and if that bastard doesn't back out of it soon I'm gonna think he's gay!"
Alex is running out of places to have cake shoved in.
His foreskin better watch out in the next season.
I was expecting Sally to put cake down his pants.
Honestly he has no places left. Cake has been everywhere on him and... in him..
@@MinscS2 bold to assume a white man in the western world, likely of some Catholic/Christian decent, isn't circumsized..
@@SPFLDAngler ummm idk where you're from bit most British men aren't circumcised. That's an American quirk.
"I genuinely want to kiss you right now"
Greg Davis, not missing a beat: "I dare you."
He's been waiting.
I think he said "Oh, do you? Come on then."
"I can't kiss the shit out of you without getting closer.."
@@sweedy6647 BAHAHA YES 👏🏼👏🏼
@@sweedy6647 HOHOO THEN COME AS CLOSE AS YOU LIKE
Are they gay????
Alex's tolerance for the contestants' bullshit is incredible
It's even better when you remember he makes the tasks.
I’m curious as to what Alex’s dry cleaning bill looks like after each season.
Probably similar to Lee Evan's, they refuse to clean it and he buys new clothes for each show.
its probably in the budget of the show
I’M curious as to what Alex’s dry cleaner thinks he gets up to whenever he brings his clothes in after each season.
@@ahobbit1273 Since he's pretty famous they probably think "Looks like he's been filming Taskmaster again."
tbh the destruction done to props are probably more costly
Sally Phillips: "Nobody could romance Alex quite as psychotically as I did."
Liza Tarbuck: "Hold my cake."
Cake up the armpits and cake up the bum. Who knows if Alex can ever see cake the same way again
Rhod Gilbert: "Hold my bikini"
"are you happy to see me or is that just cake in your pocket"
But she needs the cake
"now sit on it"
Of course, that's the thumbnail
There was no other option.
I mean, I'd do the same
Powerful homoeroticism.
@@SpiffierShindigs we really enjoyed it
Giving the people what they want.
Sally Phillips laughing maniacally as she tortures Alex is everything
Honestly
Tbh I feel bad for the food
I love how they pause before kissing, they are so full of regret, and yet know they have committed to it so there's no turning back. Brilliant
Regret? - get yourself some new glasses mate
I would say it is called comedic timing.
Imagine your comedy hero (as Alex has described Bob) looks you in the eyes and says “I have fallen slightly in love with you over the weeks”
"because of the angle of the squatting, I was open"
what a beautiful sentence
I don't think Alex has any holes left untouched
Nope. But I will say that watching her run away from him in a towel with cake falling down from his "greedy bottom" was probably the funniest thing I've seen on this series.
Maybe his pupils. I don’t want to give anyone any ideas though.
Mainly by cake 😂
I havent watched every episode of this show but reading this comment I told myself "clearly except for the taint and anus region"... Then the cake happened.
I would have pulled all the hair from his nostrils in the tears in an egg cup task but alas no one tried it.
Poor Alex. He just gets abused. Mainly, with food-based produce.
Didn't he admit to liking it? Forgot which ep.
He enjoys being used for tasks. After a while he just started making up tasks that involved him in some way.
Hes such a power bottom.
There are worse things to be abused with. Food is pretty okay, even if you find yourself reversing onto a cake.
@@kawaiilotus fr tho, he’s such a sub
Liza's driven and determined explanation of what she wanted Alex to do was both deliberate and terrifying.
1 of my all time favourite tm moments! Liza, Alex & the custardy bum cake! 😂🤣🤣
Probably the best one ever. Lol
The number of unique emotions that task makes me feel. Joy, disgust, curiosity, embarrassment, confusion - just to name a few. Truly one of the best.
The shoot she disappears around the corner giggling like a mischievous school girl....
@@Schmidtelpunkt The giggle & run is my favourite part.
Liza running away giggling like a maniac while Alex slapped his bare arse on a cake will never get old 😆
I think we can all agree that Alex Horne sitting bare ass into a cake is top tier television. I am a little upset they didn't include Asim's rap right before that because that task is truly amazing.
I can't believe they left out Asim's rap!
“But the penmanship...!” 😆
Truly an iconic moment in taskmaster history!!!!
whenever i hear the name greg davies my head completes it with i wanna have your babies
@@biocode4478 hahaha Asim’s execution and timing of that line is so amazing
"Greedy bottom" I'M DEAD LMFAO
I had to scroll way too far to find this comment.
Nish's special cuddle actually looked really nice.
It really does
You know, sometimes I wonder what Alex’s wife has to say about all this.
Hes got a wife? Bet she's proud lol
I’m going to guess she doesn’t feel too threatened
There was a scene where Alex sat in Greg's lap saying ''Thank you daddy'' and Greg commented that Alex's anus was incredibly warm and Alex said that his wife was in the greenroom or the audience and Greg waved to her xD
@@amelie1000pl i think it was his parents in the green room lmaoo
@@lewisbaitup6352 he‘s married to Rachel Horne. In the bit where the task was to do something terrible to Alex and then apologize, a foto came up with his head and a nacked body. Greg said he spoke to his wife about it and she said (and he quotes)„no way, this man has a long penis and small testicles...with Alex its quite the reverse “.....true or not, alex‘ initial face makes me laugh to this day 😂
any task with Fred the Swede ends up romantic
He's brilliant everyone just falls in love with him
he kinda fina not gonna lie
@@alexandrefernandes6084 true, hes cute as fuck
They’ve got the most AND least Swedish swede there is😂
He's a beautiful fellow that Fred!
"At last. Before the break!" had the same comedic energy as "Oh no! Anyways" and I'm living for it
Where was Noel Feilding marrying a duck Iol
Yessss and where is the Water Cooler moment clip too
Wait what?
Task: special cuddle for Alex
Aisling: jesus this is awful
Sally: so you just do whatever I say? 😏
Sally is life goals.
The duality of (wo)man
@@lydialademence9341
I also love that, one of the first things Sally asked him, was if he had a change of clothes; she knew things were gonna get messy- that was a given to her, but she was still caring enough, to make sure Little Alex Horne would have something to wear afterwards…add the demented cackling, and secreting pieces of cake about his person, and that is my kind of woman haha.
Saying that, I’ve had a crush on Sally Phillips since at least 1997, when she played Sophie, the hotel receptionist, in ‘I’m Alan Partridge’; and, nearly a quarter of a century later, it’s not all that surprising that, due to her incredibleness on shows like this, I can happily say that I would have gladly taken Little Alex Horne’s place…even if it would have meant me being waterboarded haha.
Hope you, and your loved ones, have been keeping safe, well, and sane, during these messed up times. 🤞😀
All the best. 👍😀
Alex's cuddle by Sally genuinely looked like a modern recreation of medieval torture
Trial by cake was a thing though funnily enough it was actually less torturous than what Sally did to poor Alex 😂
Alex started leaning in for the kiss before Greg told him too
That's true love right there
5:26 Getting Alex to laugh is the biggest win of all because that man knows how to hide his emotions!
Just wait until Series 10 Episode 3. I believe “mugging away” was the phrase used to describe him.
The Greg X Alex kiss is still the most important thing to me.
but this is also the reason why you will never succumb to AO3
*death stare*
@@SlothBird Then fall victim to Wattpad?
Sparo Splat i find a lot less fics on wattpad than ao3
@@SlothBird I write fics on AO3. Granted, not taskmaster fics but...
@@sparo_splat do people still use Wattpad?
i literally dont know why greg was so surprised that there are fanfics about him and alex (and the others) lmao. like dude you dared him to a kiss on national television, and he called you daddy whilst sitting on your lap, what do you expect???
"I was open" is the best line in Taskmaster, and there have been some killers.
Frank Skinner with the Swede was tremendous.
Second time seeing you, you beautiful man. Have a nice day!
I love that we have not one but TWO epic Alex-and-cake moments.
Presumably he walks through the supermarket bakery in abject terror.
@@TheHutchy01
When he goes in Greggs, he’s watched closely by the baker, to make sure he doesn’t try anything; if they see him coming, they quickly take as many pastries as they can carry into the back, just in case Alex gets any ideas when he sees the eclairs.
I imagine his birthdays are quite a traumatic experience; every time his wife brings out his cake, he starts shaking, and having flashbacks, like he’s a Vietnam veteran; he’s then so utterly traumatised, he doesn’t know whether to just blow the candles out, in the traditional way; or else pass the task over to his partner in crime, and let his “greedy bottom” attempt to extinguish them instead…or maybe that’s just me overthinking it haha.
All the best. 👍😀
Sally mentioned recently on QI that because of some weird physical problem in her brain, she essentially spent several months/years being continuously drunk. I now wonder if that time was during her taskmaster appearance.
It was not. She got salmonella in 2002 and she was on taskmaster in 2017, according to wikipedia.
I think she got a yeast infection in her brain. Yeast produces alcohol in fermentation or it might've been an effect of the infection. I remember that episode of QI.
@@eleanorcooke7136 The yeast infection in her brain was caused by the Salmonella poisoning.
No she's just batshit crazy
Sally has said she was divorcing or just divorced and horny.
12:46 That chuckle and run, you'd think some kind of witch was making their getaway.
LITTLE ALEX HORNE GETS A LITTLE KISS YESSSS
Pretty sure if they had Rhod and Sally in the same series Alex would have ended up in the hospital.
A nice, romantic night of waterboarding
As soon as Greg responded to Alex's funny little remark about wanting to kiss him, they both immediately knew they had too.
Those different portraits/paintings of Greg in the background are always iconically awesome. Everything about this show has a special touch to it. Congrats to Little Alex Horne for creating, IMO, the best show in the history of television - both British and American.
3:34 best part - the tiny, imperceptible nod of verification from alex. consent! important even in improv comedy
Yep exactly.
"You greedy bottom"
3:33 That looks suggests they both think the bit has gone a bit further than either was expecting
Bob Mortimer's facemask could have fit right into this compilation
*_I ' V E S I N N E D A G A I N_*
Are there more like you on your planet?
“Whaddya think? Sexy, yeah?” 😘
Is it made out of Fuji-9?
That Romesh and Fred footage is as powerfully erotic as the first time I saw it.
"Nuzzle muzzle nuzzle*
It wouldn’t be good for Gamble’s ego to tell him so, but he does look hot in a dinner jacket.
He's hot anyway.
@@simontay4851 Yes, but hotter in a dinner jacket than in general.
Never mind Ed, Rose could do whatever she wanted to me looking like that.
Sally's special cuddle is never not funny to me.
Little did we know the madness would only escalate from there.
“Will you just do whatever I say?” is such a dangerous question
She was literally waterboarding him at the end
the only place sally didn't shove chocolate cake in is in Alex's pants. When i first saw it originally i thought that Sally would take off his pants eventually.
It's her saying _"It's a pleasure"_ at the end for me.
Fred's the most composed man on earth.
This proves there's no way they pay Alex enough for what he goes through in this show lol
it is Alex's show to be fair lmao
when you're having a lovely time with your partner, it's a romantic evening, you're having fun and enjoying your time together, and they lean over and seductively whisper "your ears are completely devoid of hair"
You have 20 minutes...Ed Gamble then manages to do both daytime and nightime scenes...
Yeah, the time limits are weird and evidently often just refer to the basic planning time (before getting in the props) and/or the total filming time. I wish they wouldn’t mention them unless it literally is timed from that moment till the end.
Depending on the time of year in 20 minutes it could easily go through those levels of light. It's not bright daylight and it wasn't pitch black
@@cheekbonestrenchcoat I mean, you're really clutching...
I always just assumed that meant 20 minutes to plan
@@chriswhittaker5075 It said "20 minutes" not "20 consecutive minutes." Ed could have filmed 10 minutes day & 10 minutes night. That would be a Taskmasterly way to bend the rules.
I just noticed that Greg is writing something down after the kiss, what is he writing?? 'Dear diary, today I kissed Alex and it was awesome' 😂
Alex did well with having Sally lying right on top of him.
genuinely one of the most romantic kisses I've seen
yeah they closed their eyes and everything lmao
There was one moment in a live stage task that Alex kissed Joe Lycett on the cheek whilst Joe was blindfolded.
Lets be honest here, more than half of you clicked for the thumbnail
look, give me a chance with either of them im taking it.
"Never have i been so offended, by something i 100% agree with"
I clicked more than once, that’s probably half the viewer count as is
Not me. I looked for it.
Anyway, I searched for the GIF of it. Found it and it was split into three parts. They slowed it down a lot. It became very intense.
We’ll see, I have been on a taskmaster binge for about 4 months (in freebies tv) and hve not seen the kiss so obviously I clicked for the thumbnail
It's Liza's running away cackling that just makes that task!
I could be wrong, but I think Sally might have lost her mind during filming.
Bold of you to presume she had one to begin with xD
That Swedish guy was so dreamy!
He’s so amiable 😂
shocked that sally phillips' water cooler moment didn't make it on here, i thought it definitely would've lol
ED GAMBLE GOING ON A DATE WITH A CHICKPEA BAHAHA
Ed wining and dining a chickpea was the first clip of taskmaster I ever saw and I have to say, it was a tremendous introduction to taskmaster. 😂😂
Yea I don't think I would have had a hard time making him blush.
I laughed so much, I almost cried
“how’s it hanging?” “i’m fine” made me laugh so much
AND THEY WONDER WHY THERE'S FANFICTION
Alex asking for "just a little one" and Greg putting his finger over his lips and saying "no, only when you're sick" was the moment I was like "oh ok, so that's where the weird BDSM obsession some fans apparently have came from"
@@alexbenavidez4500 THAT?! Literally all of their reactions fit their kink narrative. Alex constantly refers to Greg "letting" him do things or telling him to do things. He's said that Greg tells him to tie himself up before telling him to go to bed. He's talked about Greg letting him go to the park and where Greg lets him live. In one episode Greg says "Time for bed" and Alex says "Is it?" Then one of them pulls out a big dog's bed and Alex curls up in it right at Greg's feet. Even Greg constantly mocking Alex for being small when he isn't is kinky.
They know what they're doing.
@@lydialademence9341 Oh, I've never actually seen full episodes before
I dont pay for TV lmao, so all I've got is clips from the show on youtube
That sounds all brilliantly hilarious though
@@alexbenavidez4500 there's a google doc with every episode in it, pretty easy to find on google
@@alexandrapossum71 you do know the whole show (except series 9, yet) is in the official channel, don't you?
I have a deep affection for that thumbnail
3:35 both of them didnt want to be the one who wimped out, you can tell
I distinctly remember this as being the moment I realized Sally Phillips was the psychopath of the season (and I'm pretty sure this was episode 1 lol)
Same. At first I thought she might be the new Mel (bit crazy but overall wholesome) and then I saw her interpretation of the task (I think it was the very first task that wasn't a prize task) and thought 'that one it completely insane and proud of it'.
Why is no one talking about this gorgeous Swedish person? He is stunning. I really hope he is okay and didn't get the trauma after that episode!
i feel bad for all the passerbys watching ed gamble walk down a street laughing at a singular chickpea 😂
They were probably so confused 😭
Also him stopping by the side of the road to start screaming and crying at a passing car
In fact I think that's the last time a contestant has done something in public for a task, it seems like nowadays they don't like contestants doing that as it pretty much spoils their participation on the show ahead of time.
I think Greg Davies is one of the sexiest men alive. Seeing him kissing another bloke? Yeah, that works too.
WHAT?
@@mariac1984 ikr? It's just a kink I have. It just works for me.
@@itsacarolbthing5221 You're not the only one :-).
we should be friends
a dream come true lol
They truly know their audience 😂❤️😌
Are you Nugget's (From the Kindergarten games) God?
why would you cut greg’s reaction after the kiss. he’s so giggly and gooey, it’s adorable.
How do you know that?
@@Andy-ru2eb if you mean that you think this is it, it’s not, the full ep shows that additional shot of greg after the kiss. they just cut it in this compilation. if you mean why I interpreted greg’s reaction like that, I guess he just seemed to be quietly mulling over it for a bit, he then smiles and touches his lips lol
@@the1whereIwatch oh, wow i didn’t know there was more to the scene hahahahaha. I discovered the show just a week ago (I’m from Spain and had never heard of it it just popped up in my recommendations) and have been binge watching it. I haven’t yet reached the episode of the kiss so I didn’t know it showed Greg’s full reaction. Thanks for explaining!
@@Andy-ru2eb no problem!
@@the1whereIwatch @Andy # in the full clip on the actual programme (if you listen carefully) Greg sighs before putting his fingers to his lips (remembering? regret? ) Alex then looks at him and his voice falters. Maybe they really didn’t expect to do it.
“relaxing lettuce” 😍
11:32 that sentence really hits you like a freight train.
03:20 If that's not the best few seconds of telly ever then I don't know what is.
this is "champion of champions make the best tasting mask" task erasure
Valentine's day is not for sinners
"Give Alex a special cuddle"
Proceeds to waterboard him and shove cake in his clothes
After the final task, I think that there is definitely no "accident" about the modern meaning of "creampie"
I would love a cuddle from Nish, I bet he gives good ones!
13:42 “a greedy bottom” omg 😂
What a great Valentine’s present! Thanks Taskmaster!!! ❤️
I haven’t seen S9 yet and I can’t WAIT to find out why they’re all in tuxes
The kiss is actually really adorable. You can tell there's genuine affection between them, and that's always nice to see. ☺
The little back-and-forth dance going on is great - the whole 'do you mean it? Because I WILL' nature of it is precious. Alex comes in almost eskimo-kissing him, but then pulls back a bit, and Greg smiles even bigger because he thinks Alex might be chickening out. I mean, Greg's not the type to back down from anything, and you can see Alex backing up just a wee bit and questioning, and Greg just grins, because there's no way he loses, here - which is when he leans in further and gives Alex a break. And Alex kind of double-kisses just a bit, which is cute.
Also, the fact that they both close their eyes is adorable, though to be fair, it's reasonably unnatural to kiss with your eyes open.
What I like is that it's got a freshness to it, because - pretty sure they planned it, but didn't practice it, so that wee bit of awkward and I-really-don't-know-what's-going-to-happen-here stayed in, thus the sparkle. 🥰They're really quite good at what they do.
what
write some fanfic babes, it seems like you have a lot of thoughts about this
10/10 good fanfic lmao
12:41 I genuinely love her reaction LOL
The way she cackles as she runs away 🤣
Guys... the Taskmaster forgot about the most romantic task yet: The Water Cooler Moment.
Love how all the guys seemed really excited to give Little Alex a hug😚
For everyone who came here for the THUMBNAIL it’s at 3:25
Thank you! I love it that they are really frinds.
I came here very much for the screengrab as I do NOT remember it and I am now prepared to laugh (or scream a little?) at any moment
edit : I most definitely screamed a little at the tension 😂😂
I'll never understand how Ed's attempt was in the 20 minutes time frame. But honestly, who's counting 😂
4:23
Sally is funny on an entirely different level. Holy shit..
She managed to ride the line of arousing, shy, wholesome, petulant and straight up funny so well.
romesh and the svede was so endearing to me
Wish it was me Greg kissed.
Such a cute look he gave him before he did. 😍
That last clip with Alex sitting in the cake, damn that’s hilarious.
Where was Noel marrying a rubber duck?
That thumbnail 💀 giving the people what they want
Now i ship them
Amazing compilation there
So crazy now watching series 1. Just the show has come so far and evolved so much, the tasks have got crazier, the relationship with Greg and Alex has got stronger
How can I feel lonely on Valentine's Day when I've got Taskmaster? 🥰
Ed looked so proud of himself 😁
They said they had 20 minutes for that chickpea task, but I refuse to believe that Ed conceived and executed a short film in that amount of time 😝
Cant wait for the new series!
