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.
Imagine seeing a well dressed giant tossing a shopping trolley across a stream.
I don't have to imagine, I saw the VT!
Exactly two steps away from sherlock shenanigans at this point

Super power: Form of Arch-Bridge invisiblity
@@ashb7 _Once there was an ugly barnacle.He was so ugly that everyone died._
*The end*
Joe's face when he thought the arches things was probably THE moment of the season. What a pure man.
I don't know... the "please, don't take this away from me" moment was the greatest.
@@triccele Don't know if you've seen the previous episodes, but there was one where he threw the ball perfectly and got a really fast time. Everyone was hyped until they replayed the clip and he stepped where he shouldn't have by the tiniest amount. He actually went on his knees and begged for it to not be disqualified.
@@caenir that is literally what I'm refering to xD. He begged "please, don't take this away from me"
@@triccele Oh. I thought you still meant this moment. As in the look on his face at that moment said that.
Completely slipped over the part where you said "I don't know"
Katherine also had two brilliant moments. When she cried because sports and when she changed Greg's name.
Richard often goes out of his way to compliment people and defuse conflict. I appreciate that a lot in a person.
Richard is a very underrated member of taskmaster. As you said he did a great job of diffusing conflict.
He is a gentleman.
He came across in every episode as a genuinely thoughtful and sweet man.
I loved how he appreciated the tasks several times saying "ooh, that's clever!" etc.
"My eyesight is affected around bridges!" from Doc was just brilliant.
One might say he’s not a bridge man
Hardest laugh of the season.
@@CosmicTeapot Dammit I was about to say that lol
I hate the amount of power this channel has over me.
I don't know if i should like or dislike your comment :D. Because this channel as so much power over me too AND I LOVE IT :)
yes 45 mins of my life everytime they upload..... :o
Finally sat down to study then I saw the notification
STRAIGHT FACTS
Googling "Taskmaster S0XE0X' will get you the same result, with 0 censoring if it helps.But I also Totally Ignore All And Any Illegan Attempts To View Pokemone. Though Some People May Enter the View Stage, I Will Approve Of All Despite Stage Because of Appellate level rAting.
I do enjoy how Greg has no intention of even pretending to be impartial.
In the first few series, he stuck to giving out 1,2,3,4 and 5 points but in recent series, he just hands them out how he likes. lol
He is biased towards john Richard osmond and the other small john
@@garorade huh? I felt he dismissed some of Osman's great stuff!! As a web producer I felt there was a bit of a 'meh producers... Comedians are the best' vibe, which cannot be totally false given the times he joked with the '4 comedians and one dude' lines during the series 😅
Hmm..!
@@garorade yeah that is why Doc won the last one right? And Katherine was 1st since the second ep.
In episode 4 Osmond got like 5 points lol
I don’t care that he was consistently the worst performing contestant this season. Joe Wilkinson is the best
he lost his marriage certificate in the first episode and it’s been downhill for him ever since
"What worries you, Joe?"
"Uh, horses, and darkness."
I think it was Osman. I will fight you over this
His potato throw is still iconic i dont care what they said about touching the red
He's so irritating most of the time
"I just thought it was a boat called under the table"
I was thinking that's what i would have thought if I'd seen it while panicking and trying to build a bridge
My first thought was use the legs of the table & I watch this show & know that somehow I would still have missed all the construction materials underneath 😆
high INT low WIS
If I ever get the chance to name a boat, best believe it’s gonna be “debajo de la mesa”. Gotta find my fellow task master people!
I always take a precursory glance around every room I step in, and I’ve never been on taskmaster
On one hand as an hard of hearing person for whom english isn't the first language i would prefer accurate subtitles - on the other hand: having Greg refer to himself as the touchmaster in the automatic subtitles adds some more comedy.
😂😂😂😂
Why is Greg using the same name my uncle used when I was a kid? 😮
(it's a joke, I'm an orphan, I don't have an uncle 😂)
You know, I'm genuinely surprised that there aren't actual subtitles for this. I'd figure they made proper subtitles when it aired on TV, so I would've thought they'd just put that here
@@DILLIGAFgaming-c8t Orphans can still have uncles though.
@demonboygaming3024 do you not know what orphan means or something?
“Look under the table” is still the most beautifully executed, ballsiest hiding in plain sight that this show has produced
I've watched this show too much recently, as soon as they read the task I thought to myself "there is definitely some trick to this hidden in the room" and sure enough... At first I thought it was in the miniature taskmasters house because they said you're not allowed to touch it
Is it just me or was the clue over the door not blurred when the first uploaded?
Looking at the materials provided under the table, I don't think they would be able to construct much better bridges
@@martafonseca2282 Can't make an arch out of that.
Something that only worked back then...Sarah Millican checked under every table until they left her a task there that just said "Hi Sarah"
Everyone thinks Joe lost, but in actual fact, he was playing a completely different game. He ended the series with exactly 69 points. I see what you did there Joe. Bravo!
nice.
For awhile i thought Joe was aiming to just have a good time and also play it like golf, aiming for the lowest score.
Had to rewind and check it...... totally worth it and unbelievable observation. You need more likes for the brilliant comment and observation....
nice
@@wasanthacweerathunga9819 Why? Greg gave the points -.-
And Joe did lose - because Greg gave the points xD
69 was the pyrrhic victory they granted him for screwing him over with the potato.
He begged!
I’ve watched this series twice and only now realized Alex calls them “a man and his son” because it’s Richard and Richardson. I thought it was just another height joke 🤦🏻♀️
You aren't alone. I didn't catch that right away either.
It’s sort of both tbh, I always considered it a double joke (play on words + height difference)
he literally explains this joke in the previous episode
@@CosmicTeapot the way he introduced it in the 30 somethings I thought it was age related. Guess it’s a triple play lol
wow, me too I did not realize until your comment :D :D
Hats off to Richard Osman for so gracefully defusing what could've easily turned into a real problem in that very last challenge.
Nestor Custodio, I agree. He showed some quick wisdom in that solution.
I honestly didn't see the problem
whyarewehere Katherine threw a giant fit because she thought it was sexist to expect a woman to even know how to tie a tie and thus unfair. Which is weird to me, I’ve waited tables at 3 different restaurants where the men and women all wore ties.
@@adamarens3520 yeah I thought she might've been on about that, but I just didn't make sense in my head
@@adamarens3520 I mean, her "giant fit" was also, y'know, really funny, which is generally desirable on a comedy show, so I think that's why it was played up so much.
It’s pretty cool that when announcing the winner they don’t spend 20 minutes of unnecessary build up and suspense. American TV should learn from this
that's a tiny but critical part of British tv that makes them win over American tv mom
This comment is where it’s at
A lot of those shows are produced by Brits though
Right. And our winner is, cut to commercial.
I just stop watching a show if I encounter pointless filler. There are quite a few 60 minute US shows that I'd enjoy as 10 minute UA-cam videos.
Richard's such a true gent, I loved when he and Katherine both voted for Joe to keep the potato red/green toss in the beginning too.
He never seemed to get upset at any of the games and was always either thinking ahead or assuming there was a trick to each task (whether he thought he was smart enough to figure it out or not is another thing). In one episode they said he was the most cerebral contestant they had had so far, which is true but he's also very pleasant.
He's the epitome of "I don't care who wins, I just want everyone to have fun."
@@cooljammer00 As I found out recently from the series 15 Q&A, he even surprised Alex in the "balls on a yoga mat" task. So he basically pioneered the whole "look for a loophole" thing that Taskmaster is practically running on now.
I liked that Doc and Jon pretended they had voted for Joe. Mind you Joe did look at Doc with suspicion.
I feel like this series had more tasks involving potatoes than any other series 😂😂
They must have gotten a sponsor from a potato farmer or something.
also series 5 was all about coconuts hahaha
Every season has a theme item. Peas. Coconuts. Rubber ducks. Potatoes. Etc. 👌
@@anthovidal like the house has a theme.
Even Linda (the cow) is involved in those themes sometimes, but it's usually mostly in the paintings of Greg (Escher, on Soviet Russia, Picasso, Dali, Warhole).
I just wanna say patatas translates to potatoes in filipino😂
Remember Patatas the cat?
I love how the "look under the table" above the doorway is censored until the reveal
Yeah I was wondering why they'd censored something above the door.. It makes sense though, from the camera's angle it's too obvious.
11:26 i am enchanted by alex' happy little face at being called "dude". if i ever see him i will be sure to call him dude. or even bro.
He's so cute!
i will take that vow as well, i’ll definitely make sure to call him dude if i ever have the pleasure to meet him
It's really only the first one that counts. The first time I got called "dude" was by a Vietnam vet in San Diego in 1989. If he hadn't been cursing at me I'd have glowed all day.
Omg, I read your comment right when it happened. Adorable🥺
That’s so funny I never thought about the fact that British people don’t use dude very often. You’d be pretty hard pressed to find anyone Alex’s age in the US that had never been called dude
Alex' hand looked like a *child's* around Greg's finger lol
16:28 for anyone curious, and yeah haha
Yeah it's like that movie deadpool baby hand lol
Pure comic genius without a word spoken and gregs genuine reaction made the punchline
And Alex Horne is 1.88m... He is tall!
@@NoisqueVoaProduction He says he's tall but he's not tall, it's little Alex Horn!
I like Richard’s save on the last one, that was some quick thinking
"let me just move this comma..."
Well, it's very important to not promote the highly sexist notion that women are allowed to wear ties.
@@PokerJoker811 I believe it was that one should "correctly" tie the tie when most women don't usually tie ties on themselves ever in their life. Not really that they couldn't or can't, just that the game was geared towards men without consideration for the one woman in the group.
@@candace200 Then the game was equally geared when Jon had to apply make up, which was what Kathrine made as a task, even though she could have made anything a task. Neither is right, but Jon did it without complaints or a rule change. Both parties are wrong.
@Pelilas jon wasn’t judged on how well he actually did the challenge, he only had to guess who wrote it
Rivers don’t worry me
What worries you joe
Uhh horses and darkness
The bored Biker he must be tariffed of Shadowmere
Thank you for that, I couldn't understand the second thing that worries him.
Yet he was surprisingly unfazed by the plastic miniature horse🤔
And then immediately misreads potato as pony, he really is always thinking about horses lol
15:50
When Katherine stands up to get her trophy and is basically the same height as Richard sitting down, it cracks me up every time.
Funnier to me is when she holds up the golden Greg head and it’s the same hight as the real Greg head!
This is the most quotable episode of the entire show:
Sometimes you don’t see bridges.
This is like a focus group. I really appreciate you guys.
Rivers don’t worry me. What worries you, Joe? Uh, horses and darkness.
The movement of our potato was crazy smooth.
The strongest shape is a triangle.
You know my eyesight is affected around bridges.
There’s strength in arches.
That large body of people, who believe that people with food allergies are just making it up.
Yes this show is hilarious I’m so glad I found it on here
Eat a whole banana. Correctly put on a tie.
Eat a whole banana correctly. Put on a tie.
He is allergic to bananas tho.
"La la la laaa. Walking down the corridor."
„You‘ve got a sort of inbuilt broken predictive text?“
„I‘ve tried it with words. Next will be actions.“
„I make rash and awful decisions.“
Now we see the trouble that coin has got us into, don't we!?
This being a rewatch I almost spat out my coffee when John pointed the little boat and asked Alex if he knew what "debajo de la mesa" meant
Big words for someone who can't even MELEE!!!!
We all (probably) love the "strength in arches," but can we also appreciate how adorable Richard was playing with the boat?
I adore what a class act Richard Osmond is
I do too, but I also really appreciate Katherine for making a fuss.
@@emilyk-l2240it's weird to me though coz where I'm from every school child wears a tie and so gender doesn't matter. Everyone is supposed to know a basic tie knot, tho often the mum ties it each week and the kid never unties it till the weekend🤭
I really did love Joe at his moment of arch realization. It's a confusing, but pure, love.
Okay. Not seeing the table hints, that's fine. But why in the hell did they all bother to struggle into the gloves after being handed, on a golden platter, Suzie Dent's definition of "on"?? If just one of them had, say, shoved the gloves down their pants instead of wrestling with them they could've easily gotten the most claps in.
That’s a good thought, but I think the relevant phrase in this case is “put on.” PUT being the key word. Put on = wear. So they maybe could have stuck them on their shoes or something, put them on top of their heads maybe? But I think shoving in pants or pockets is too far from “put on.”
@@n16161 Putting them on their ears would have been fast and a hilarous option
also it didn't say they had to do any of the tasks with the gloves on which would make everything easier ofc
@@n16161 Never specified where they had to put them on. So once again body contact works.
@@99Plastics yeah but where else would you put it on tho. feet? need to take shoes and socks off. ears? will easily fall. you have to constantly pick it up and put it on again. hands are still the fastest.
39:36 this is such a special moment. You know Alex would usually vehemently object to anyone changing a task, but here he simply has to acknowledge superior situational thinking.
Richard Osman is in the wrong profession. He should've been a diplomat and ambassador for a thousand causes. He clearly got the skills and he also has the caring heart.
This guy is the epitome of a gentleman. And he's clearly very intelligent and self-confident. Must be nice to be friends with him.
man that potato movement was crazy smooth
lolatomroflsinnlos I snorted reading this
I didn't like it.
I'm not a potato man.
After the whole red green incident, I needed to see joe come first in something
now I need to know what the red green incident is
@@harlottebronte the potato toss. it was in the first episode
Same for David Baddiel after missing all the quavers for the tray
I totally see where Katherine was coming from, but the way Richard handled the live task fuss when even Greg and Alex were unsure of how to respond was just masterful and endearing.
She literally just spews anything out in the name of winning.
I like watching the ones that are in public. Bc in the UK people don't run up to celebs like a mad person, they just sit and wonder......"is that Richard Osmond carrying groceries across a stream?"
Not-at-all-fun Fact: Osmond carried no groceries across the stream.
Does the UK have paparazzi? God they are the worst and probably 90% of the annoyance American celebs go thru. A lot of Americans don’t approach either they’ll just try to sneak a pic and the celeb always notices lol
@@monhi64 everywhere (for the most part) has paparazzi. It's just more common in America because there are a larger number of popular celebrities there.
@@monhi64 we do and they're awful, the 'tabloid' papers are a blight on society.
It's at least to a degree a question of proportion, I think. Or maybe it has something to do with a nation's general attitude towards kerfuffles. Here in Czechia, even smaller than the UK, you definitely can just pass famous people in the street. One time, I even passed an actor who is, for Czechia, rather conspicuous in his celebrity-like avoidance of the public, wearing sunglasses in public etc. He was still just walking the street alone (in his sunglasses) and no one was stopping him. So I guess it's a sort of village-like understanding between the celebrity and the public, in a smaller country: "Yes, we know you, yes, we know being loud about it would be awkward and make me look a bit like an idiot, you made my day by allowing me to see you being a normal person like everyone else." Something to that effect.
I used to think Alex Horne wasn't funny. I've never been happier to be proven wrong.
I used to think the same about Wilkinson. Only really knew him for derailing 8 out of 10 cats does Countdown and kind of wearing on my nerves. I'm reformed though.
Some of the best comedy happens because you have a "straight man." Not a reference to sexual preference, simply to the serious person in a comedy sketch. Monica to Joey, who's on first, etc.
His small penis comment on 8 out of 10 cats countdown is legendary
Do you know that he was also the writer of the show
I used to think Katherine Ryan wasn't funny.
"You know my eyesight is affected around bridges." Beautiful
If you remembered the yoga mat, you'd know that Richard was taking the trolley to the groceries.
@@indira.creates aw thanks
Yo, that's a good point
Honestly I was shocked more people didn’t try tossing the trolley over (although maybe British trolleys are heavier over there considering Richard barely got it halfway)
Imagine just taking a walk through the park and all of a sudden with no context you see Richard Osman throwing a trolly into a river
I love how after the hat incident, the instructions got reallyyyyy specific.
Shoot I don't remember what the hat incident was.
@@LizzieRobinson1225it was from another live task in this series.
@@LizzieRobinson1225 I think its the rabbits in the hat one where 4 contestants just took off the hat and threw the rabbits in the hat on the floor while 1 did it as writers intended and threw the rabbits into the air while the hat was still on their head, moving around to catch the rabbits
"That's alright. I tried with words. Next will be actions." The delivery of that was hilarious 😂
I love so many comedians but none are as baller as Katherine Ryan
@@thefifthdementia5231 people legitimately find her funny? Whatever floats your boat I guess
@@AjaxNixon - I feel like they’d love the US version
And it was true.
@@AjaxNixon about 50% of the entire population usually
This series really makes me want an All-Joe special: Joe Wilkinson, Joe Lycett, Joe Thomas, Jo Brand, and if they've had a 5th Joe as a contestant, bring them back too.
Doc looked legitimately hurt when his framed rap got fourth place.
he was wronged!
"gigantic older white male not enthralled with rap album"... surprise!
Aren’t their items meant to be funny? Because the framed rap story was not.
Ed Gamble and others say it often on the podcast, it's about how you sell your prize to Greg, and Doc's story was a bit boring.
I was hurt, too! It was way more interesting than a garden coin!
Task consultant - Tim Key. Oh you know he was brought in to be asked "so how can these guys cheat in the task?"
Tim revealed on the podcast that he was credited as such so Alex could bounce ideas off him over a few pints in the pub and take all the credit.
the fact that joe ended up with exactly 69 points is just so scarily on brand
Nothing has ever made me want to be British except for this show.
But now you saw that Americans have a chance of winning as well ;)
@@64ankka what american?
Ian V ah sorry, she’s Canadian. But still, you don’t need to be British to win on Taskmaster
@@64ankka Why wouldn't she be American? I mean continentwise Canada lies on North America making it an American state making its people American, too.
@@iwonttellmynametoamachine5422 Haha very funny and original, I think very few Canadians would call themselves Americans
Is it me or does the head/trophy look like that one statue of Cristiano Ronaldo? You know the one I'm talking about.
It's Greg's head though...
But yeah
I swear it looked much more normal in the beginning of the series.
“Now we see the trouble that coin has gotten us into, don’t we?”
What a line 😂
I didn’t get that one, could you please explain.
@@reconstruct23 the coin was from a suffrage movement. Katherine complained the tie requirement for the live challenge was sexist. Jon was being playfully chauvinistic by saying the women's rights coin got them into this mess.
@@cooljammer00 and they all took it with grace, while she was having a meltdown over something she just imagined in her obsession with feminism, which is quite hilarious on its own.
@@MrSheduur yeah I think you are reading into it too much… she is clearly making a joke (that’s what comedians do) and even laughed at Jon’s line with the coin. I think you’re the one imaging things 🤷♂️
@@MrSheduur not only is it a joke but shes not wrong, they do have an advantage cause men typically wear ties and women don’t. Like she said, try doing a tampon instead, wouldn’t be fair. Or even fake eye lashes.
I'll bet Joe was extremely proud of his final score for the whole series. (43:58)
Nice
Nice
Nice
69th like. Nice
i am really sad he didn't say antthing about it
"Let's all put on a Tampon correctly" lmao bless her
She's got a point though, I mean.. most women have never worn a tie, nor had to tie it on someone else.
@@IONE_the_Enby she's absolutely got a point. That's what makes it even funnier. Men won't stop for a second to rethink their normative reality
@@SelySilvent Would it have been less sexist if everyone expected her to be unable to tie a tie?
@@hersheljr I didn't say it was sexist. What are you on about?
"Male normative reality". I'd say behavior coming from this mindset would by definition be sexist, but I have a feeling you won't agree. Though you're avoiding the core of my comment to focus on the linguistics. So let me put it a different way. There is no way for the showrunners to have made an assignment that involves putting on a tie that wouldn't have counted as an offshoot of normative male reality. Expecting a women not to be able to put on a tie is problematic and according to what I read from you the opposite is also not kosher. Imagine a situation in which the genders are reversed and the assignment was to braid hair. I'm clearly projecting here, but I can imagine that if the men would have made a huge stink about it being unfair for them to braid, because it's seen as feminine, you wouldn't have liked it either
Richard found the second best solution in the final task. The best solution of course would have been if Alex had pulled out a box of tampons he had prepared in advance.
“Right so tie the tie, put on the tampon, and start clapping. Not to worry, we’ll provide cubicles. I’ll be checking all the boys, and we’ve invited Roisin Conaty back to check Katherine.”
I absolutely love this show... I just find myself slightly disturbed by the plastic lined murder room in every episode.
It's not for murder, it's for decoding the Declaration of Independence.
Greg has to stay Taskmaster somehow.
honestly the best part is when greg looks to alex to what to do, and hes like "thats your decision" and you see gregs eyes light up lmao
Watching Katherine chase Alex around the stage during the final task was a highlight for me lol
And Alex politely responding was so cute
i too will not eat bananas in public
I don‘t know how to react to that.
The tampon argument was very compelling
@@wildNout317 Using a tampon requires a person to be equipped with a specific body part. Putting on a tie correctly requires you to have a neck, which is safe to assume everyone has. She incorrectly assumed she'd need to tie it, which was not the case. They were already tied.
These contestants so needs a redemption series. They totally deserve 5 more episodes!
11:20 Alex being ecstatic about Doc calling him “dude” is adorable
Respected author Richard Osman chucking a trolley into a river is hilarious!
I love how when they start debating te semantics of the materials on the table, and then they mention they asked Suzie about it, the contestants just instantly give up arguing because they know she has the last word XD
and here I sit wondering why noone came to the idea of just taking the trolley to the other side instead of carrying all the props over.... thank you richard
After the yoga/hill challenge it seemed like the obvious thing to do, didn't it ...
Katherine was going to as well, but gave up when she saw all the wheels were off. She doesn't have Richard's giant strength.
Have you ever tried to pickup a fucking shopping cart made of metal? Shits fucking heavy, Osmand is just fucking huge
I guess you somehow didn't notice that there were no fucking wheels on it
With a proper windup I think he could have made it clear the stream.
I got laid off yesterday so this is what I’m doing today until I’m undepressed enough to apply to jobs
Ha
Best of luck to you!
@Lemma Dogman Very sorry to hear that. Years ago that happens to me five days before Christmas. I crawled into a bottle for a couple of weeks, you have a better plan. Good luck.
James Baker thanks mate! appreciate the support.
Get dressed. It’ll help you get started.
"Rivers don't worry me."
" What worries you, Joe?"
"Horses and Darkness"
His is genuinely afraid of horses.
Frankly, everyone's clapping technique was rather disappointing. The only person who really came close to the optimal technique was Doc, from what I saw.
Was thinking the same thing. Keep your hands close for starters. Katherine didn't even seem to try.
What would that be? The two fastest techniques I can think of are: 1) swiping the hands across each other back and forth, like you would to brush off dirt, and 2) clapping with your hands under a table, with one hand stationary and the other moving up and down, using the table for rebound. However, they could be deemed illegal by Greg and Alex.
@@jc3drums916 i know the rubbing off dust technique is what fastest clappers record holders do, but I hardly count that as proper clapping.. No one in real life claps like that.
@@stone5against1 it also requires practice to get actually good at, otherwise you're just going to be rubbing your hands most of the time instead of clapping
This show is so GOOD 😁😁😁 I've been watching nothing but taskmaster since I discovered this channel lol and I'm recommending it to everybody. Much love from Canada! Thanks for uploading these here!!!!
same.
oh so true, that was the happiest day of my life knowing Taskmaster is available on youtube
Oliver Sinnott May I also suggest “Would I lie to you?” ...”8 out of 10 cats does countdown”....and “ Mock the Week”. Hysterical fun all around. And most of the same people as well. My fave is “Would I lie to you” when Bob Mortimer is the guest..his stories will have you rolling on the floor. He is just brilliant ! As is David Mitchell, especially when he gets wound up. Cheers mate ! Side note, I miss Canada, spent some time there and it is a beautiful country !
You must be gratified that they let Katherine win. I mean, just because she's Canadian. Noblesse oblige and all that.
@@blessedbees4247 i love how british panel shows are basically a Marvel Cinematic Universe. It’s the same 20 faces rotating around every show and it ends up feeling like one big family

Give her a break. She was just being cheeky.
Literally studied in one of the best universities in the world. This really proves education isn't everything
Ironically, it’s the people taking her words at face value who are lacking in the intelligence department. It’s like they didn’t get the memo that these people are comedians playing it up for laughs. THEY ARE COMEDIANS PLAYING A ROLE IN A SHOW WHERE COMEDY IS PART OF THE POINT, PEOPLE.
Have you paused to wonder why most of the contestants are comedians?
@@gd7681 yeah dude, that's sort of her persona. But that shouldn't stop us from making jokes about it either. We are making these comments despite knowing that.
It's like people make fun of Jimmy Carr for being a robotic psychopath or Jon Richardson for being a bit fastidious.
Bridges are supposed to flex so they don't break tho. She just used too many rubber bands. If there would have been less they had been tighter it could have worked
This series deserved more than five episodes. Really loved this cast.
Katherine Ryan can't tie a tie, Joe Wilkinson is allergic to bananas, and Richard Osman's hands are too large for the gloves supplied. I thought this was going to be revealed as a deliberate trick such that the final challenge included a curveball for each contestant, but then nothing came of it. :shrug:
Actually yeah, with the seemingly random components of the task it could have been so.
Too American.
Definitely not one of their finer final tasks, no matter how you look at it. I feel like some editor should have gone back for a second look on it...I have to assume that at the very least for this kind of show they would have a list of allergies to not run into this kind of stuff?
@@felixvelariusbos Yea, its funny to see the kinda "eh, fuck him" vibe towards Joe's allergy, then in the most current season when Lee Mack is made to bite an egg (he's vegan) they're very apologetic afterwards.
@@Threadoflength but I thought he ate half of a sausage roll and then threw it off of a building... wait, that was a lie😋
As a native spanish speaker i thought too that the boat was called "Under the table"
Same here
Me too
@44:23 We can see Mr Tim Key is a Task Consultant and i think its really gooood [Series 1 we know how Tim always did (some of) his tasks differently] :)
Favorite highlights :
10:27 there's a bridge there!
10:37 there's a bridge there as well
11:33 this is like a focus group
11:45 PI TIME! (3.14)
12:00 sponges
30:11 UNDER THE TABLE
31:31 you know my *eyesight* is affected around *bridges*
I love how Katherine is wearing some very utilitarian overalls for the tasks….but is in what looks like a ball gown for the review of the tasks!
I didn't think Doc Brown was gonna be as funny as some of the others, but he had me laughing this entire series.
The most disappointing thing about the earlier series is that there were only 5 episodes long. With the caliber of guests they had on the first few series I feel like I missed out on some truly mad scenes. Especially Joe and Jon, watching them on 8OO10CDC, I know we have only scratched the surface of their madness.
"There's a bridge there....There's a bridge there, as well" It's hard to explain why these lines make me laugh so hard to an outsider
Richard: “Alex inadvertently cause the end of mankind.”
Alex: *smiles*
Tastmaster: "Sometimes you don't see bridges." So profound, so sympathetic. 👏👏
A few minutes later: 🎶"you can't see bridges"🎶 😂😂😂
"Mash In The Attic". Great title but "28 Days Tater" is sublime.
Is "Mash in the Attic" a pun?
00:32 Introductions

"You know my eyesight is affected around bridges" its honestly fucking hilarious. Im sad to had learned that Doc didnt like his time in TM :(
He didn't really say that he didn't like his time, he just acknowledged that it was hard and that he has never rewatched it. but he still seems to think it's a great show and stuff
Taskmaster is my all-time favorite series. I am very grateful that Taskmaster is uploading these episodes. They are so addicting. I could watch them over and over.
that's exactly what i do, its my ne 'Happy Place' like a bubble universe.
The genuine anger in Doc Brown when he sees the "LOOK UNDER THE TABLE" sign, hahahahaha
I watched series 4-7 first and I'm circling back to 1-3. I honestly have to say series 1,2,4,and 7 are my absolute favs so far. Great panels, great moments, great times haha. I would really like to see Richard Ayoade on a future series!
My wife and I were about to watch series 3, now we aren't as excited. x.x''
He would never! I mean it would be epic, but I just don’t see the ‘most nasal of men’ subjecting himself to the indignities of the Taskmaster tasks.
Yes! I would love to see Richard Ayoade on Taskmaster!
It feels like Joe Wilkinson has the most dramatic arc of all the contestants in this series. He starts as a proud man who throws a potato into a hole in one shot. But he is disqualified because his foot touches the red green. This leads to his disullusionment arc where he doesn't even try to win the egg eating contest. Finally he finds redemption and hope when he discovers the truth that "there's strength in arches". He doesn't win the task or the series, but he finds the strength to believe in himself and keep going.
16:05 "wooooah" like when you throw the ball backwards in wii sports bowling
AlexisErudite Hahaha XD You’re right.
I would love if those old series had the same number of episodes as the recent one.
Joe's utter shock with the "Did I win?!" Had me in stitches. 😂
Poor joe could never recover after the red green incident
"Let's all put on a tampon and then we'll see"
I died
The cathartic release I felt seeing osmun throw the cart like I would've done was amazing
Is there any logic to the releases of these episodes? Being Dutch this is the first time I'm able to (legally) watch the series and get really excited whenever I see a new upload.. so I'm very eager to find out when it'll all be online.
So far it's been one a week, so I guess they'll keep it up like that. Here goes hope that they do this at least once a week continually, so that they won't take breaks between seasons
Thursdays
@@itsokay7989 Tuesdays you mean?
Hey Another Dutchie! I recently discovered this series too and was wondering the same thing.
It's as easy as every Tuesday I think. At least that is what they have done so far. And it seems on their Twitter that it will continue.
Why do I find myself missing Alex's tablet holder
Jon's remark about the coin at the end is the funniest bit in the episode.
Jon always takes these creative challenges in a dark direction. Tells you a lot about him
“I tried it with words, next will be actions” - deadpan Katherine. So ominous
TM: build something
Katherine: TRIANGLES!
you ever take a semester-long class and then years later realize you only remember a single thing from it? I feel like that's what happened with Katherine and "triangles are the strongest shape."
I LOVE Katherines dress!
This whole series she had excellent fashion
@@pandakatiefominz Exactly what i thought watching this series, looking classy as fuck 24/7
I can't take my eyes off it
I love the skirt and the color, but I hate the top.
absolutely love that she was barefoot too. why the hell not
this is the only thing i can watch when i’m depressed i’ve watched like 3 series since i got dumped it’s too powerful
omg literally sameee... on the depressed part that is, it's such a nice thing that i can watch it since i can't rlly watch much else
Katherine does make a point with the tampon bit. Glad that Greg saw the problem with the task and accept it as an alternative and reassured Katherine that she didn't ruin the task.
I love how she complained about being deliberately disadvantaged because she was a woman and then won the series...
I don't think the task was sexist as such, but it definatly created an unnecessary disadvantage fir a single player (katherine).
It's like telling a group of artists plus one ordinary guy to draw something, most accurate depiction wins. Of course the ordinary guy could've learned drawing but it is not to be expected nor has s/he practiced as much.
I'm a girl and know how to tie a tie, but I need ages to do so
many men don't know how to tie a tie.
I love the fact that joe wears the same brown tux in every episode
He's got 5 of them
I wonder if Katherine’s dad says “bastard” a lot because she said it in such an Irish way
I felt underwhelmed about Katherine being the series winner the first time I saw this, and upon rewatch, I really feel like Richard was robbed.
Richard blew his chances of winning in episode 4 when he got what is the all-time lowest episode score (5; discounting Mel's 3 in series 4 because of a -5 penalty). However, both he and Jon got robbed because the 'rabbits in hats' live task had unfair scoring which inflated the other three's score and won Katherine the series.
