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. - Розваги
This show is the literal interpretation of the phrase “Play Stupid Games, Win Stupid Prizes”
Yup as stupid as you and your comment
Yepp... this is in refrence to the taylor swift song right? Miss americana and the heart break prince
@@mohirashaikh3825Taylor swift DID NOT invent it. It was used all the way back in the 80's , predating the internet. Even basic research could tell you this.
@@xaviersavard6343 okay thanks for enlightening me .... I still like to think of it in reference to the taylor swift song 🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️
@@xaviersavard6343Don't get excited
Every time Paul Chowdhry says "innit," an angel gets its wings.
Bastard's crying, innit
I love him
Everytime he says it i'm 1 step closer to clicking away the video
Everytime Paul say "innit" Rob grows an extra tooth.
I would have thought every time he says innit a brit gets a cavity.
Watching Rob dressed as a gran spraying water at Alex whilst laughing hysterically is both hilarious and disturbing
Lillian Fitts more of the latter I suppose
Honestly, the most surprising thing was how good he looked in the dress.
It was hard to tell if the laughing was him in character or if he actually did lose it.
It was a little like Norman Bates.
Edit: Just saw the end, guess Greg thought so too.
It surprised me how ugly he was as a woman, when I find him so attractive as a man.
If only tree wizard had been there for the balloon popping event.
He would have taken ages!😂
- double-checking every one of those balloons-
Didn't tree wizard create balloons? That's the opposite of what this task needs!
@@NivMizzet89 tree wizard can givith and tree wizard can taketh away
@@maiNmusica "How many times will he check the balloon? Tree Wizard!"
Busy at comic relief i bet
2:40
"It is a lotta melon"
"It's a wotta melon"
Mitsuha I love him.
innit
“Melon, innit.”
I didn't even get that! Thanks for pointing it out. 😂
Paul’s gesture at around 2:50 is referencing breasts right? That made me laugh so hard 😂
Honestly, waiting in that shed to be surprised must have been legitimately terrifying on some level
You would think, but seeing how shit these guys were at surprising someone, maybe not. xD
Not to mention _terribly_ boring. I’m not sure how exactly they go about filming the tasks but I would assume that each contestant gets their own day or half day and do a couple tasks per day. (Most likely depending on location and what tasks have been scheduled.) So I at least highly doubt that he had to film all of those on one day. But, still, he did have to sit in that shed for 5 freaking hours. Though, I’m sure he kept himself busy, it’s still not a enviable position to be in.
Yes, but you can't keep your adrenaline levels up forever. Eventually they fall, so after an hour, I'd be like "Let's just get this over with." *yawn*
I think it's only truly terrifying if you're waiting for Rhod Gilbert.
I also thought this, but Alex is extremely weird.
The Brown Clown is Paul's entire run on the show encapsulated in one single moment.
Bastards cry in, innit
And he waited in the box for 45mins instead of getting in in the final minutes.
Innit.
We live in a society, innit?
He's one of my favourite contestants tho
"I said boxers and he misunderstood." Amazing. Completely forgot about that bit.
I also hadn't noticed that Pascoe had weighed down her snake box with some sort of rusty iron weight.
I mean I prefered that mostly naked men surprise to the previous one
The camera crew are surprisingly hot
every now and then the particulars of the British accent really screw you over I guess
*sprays water on a person with a pressure hose*
- I'm sorry, are you wet? 😂
That question might be a part of the surprise haha
"Mummy says we're good at puzzles" (19:16) had me burst out laughing :)
For some reason I had to watch that about 10 times
I mean they really were tho
Favorite line this series
Yup... Classic
Same! Best part of the whole shoe for me
"Alex you've been a bad boy!" continued with hysterical but also chilling laughters is one of my all time fave of Rob Becket.
And then Alex is tied up 😂
“Melon innit?”
I got a noise complaint for how loud I guffawed when those words fell out his mouth.
This bastard was crying with laughter when Paul said that, innit.
"I'm starting to think we shouldn't be laughing at Paul"
that phrase has sticked with me since, I can't tell if he's portraying a character or are we just bullies
He should definitely not be a comedian, that's for sure.
@@ericadavenport2039 🤡
Should've surprised Alex by not even being there when he came out of the shed. Just go home and surprise him with how little you care.
Ok Gaming thats what i thought to
Clever, but sad 😓
Or block him in
There was an open padlock on the door.
Lock it.
I would have hid at the side and snuck into the shed after he opened it then been like "mate what are you doing out there it's cold"
The insane cackling laughter when Rob sprayed Alex was the best thing I've seen since Rhod Gilbert filmed Greg sleeping.
Or since Rhod Gilbert tied up Alex. Or since Rhod Gilbert made Alex wear a bikini. Or since Rhod Gilbert...
@@lauriefromks7263 just, since Rhod Gilbert honestly 😂
Why do people have to put spoiler comments about LATER seasons?
@@andrewreaney isn't really a "spoiler" kind of show, you can't really "spoil" a game show, there's no story or anything to spoil. Either way, if you're watching on youtube, chances are, there are going to be people who have watched the show before, if you don't want "spoilers", don't check the comments
@@andrewreaney If you're worried about "spoilers", then don't read any comments until you've watched every episode. Duh. Obviously. 🙄
God I love this show and I'm so glad there's a way for us Americans to watch it legally and support the creators. Hope other British panel shows take note.
They made a US version also. Not sure how good it is. Alex is still the sidekick on it. I saw him do an interview where he said its half the length of the UK version with 25 advert breaks!
@@chriswhamilton It's bad. The UK comedians do everything on here to be goofy and witty, whereas the American version has nobodies that act like fame hungry asses. Reggie Watts is pretty good Taskmaster though
@Kathleen Henson Hey thank you!
Taskmaster has its own channel and they upload episodes every week
@@elftax While I appreciate the insight, you're literally replying to a comment on that channel lol. I'm just expressing my happiness that they did so.
8:45 The funny thing about Paul's attempt is not how bad it was, but the fact that he just stayed in the box for the full duration just for one scare.
"Looks like Morse code doesn't it" knowing that show and after the look under the table boat accident...
*10 minutes later* god damnit! 😂🤣
Did they make that bit about the two balloons up just to taunt him?
@@SpoonfulofCinnamon no, it really is more code. I checked
@@sainaro2335 then it's hilarious and ironic 🤣
Gave Jon Richardson a run for his money there.
"pop just two and win"
Alex has the best poker face. Especially on that team task - just standing there while they try to figure out what to do.
Paul is like a hilarious hybrid of Sarah Milican's childlike clueless approach to genuinely everything and Romesh Ranganathan's Calm Before The Storm attitude (but then there's just no storm lol)
Well, 2 years later, good news, Sarah's gonna be on the next season
No one is talking about how the "deadly snake" was just a stuffed snake with a giant weight in the box
If the number on the weight is correct, Sara could have placed second if she agreed to have it weighed!
pretty good gag, too bad they didn't weigh it.
Came here to make this comment. Glad I checked before I TOO said "no one is taking about" 😅
She actually did nail that task. And it's not like they didn't have to lug it up there... 😂😂
@@grecomic because then they would know it isn't real
I'm still wondering if a shoebox full of pennies is heavier than a block of granite or concrete; censoring the shoebox and whether War & Peace is heavier (or dryer) than Al's heavy book? It's a great show, Sarah giving up points for the reasons of comedy; individual tasks (no points... maybe one); Greg and Alex creating something beautiful from chaos; a deadly snake... well from what we know of Sarah... do you want to open the box?
If James Acaster did the surprise task, he could have just said hello to Alex.
If Acaster did the Surprise Task, Rhod Gilbert would have also done the Surprise Task, and I really don't want to think about that one..
@@sfshinz Well you already thought about it once, and now maybe a second time?
@@sfshinz I'm pretty sure Rhod would have just locked Alex in the shed
@@enricomigliorini9612 Yeah, on a day when he had succeeded in “shutting out the Voices”; but otherwise, the mind boggles.
Rhod would have actually kidnapped Alex's kids.
"You can pretend it's someone else now innit ", a well placed innit always makes me laugh!
Geezers been saying "innit" for over a century now, but nobody has ever made "innit" their own like Paul Chowdhry, innit.
When Rob and Sarah walked into the room together for the team task I was thinking "my god they look like twin brother and sister" so I loved Greg pointing it out and them joking together about it
I am absolutely convinced they are Sharpay and Ryan from High School Musical
“Mummy says we’re good at puzzles” had me cracking up for minutes 😂
I didn’t know who Paul was before this show but he might be one of my top 5 taskmaster contestants ever.
"Innit"
innit
he's definitely in my top 5
"innit" -Paul
Whoever is choosing the thumbnails, keep up the good work. That sad clown's gonna haunt me.
Edit to add: not as much as "Alex, you've been a bad boy!", but you didn't want to spoil that surprise...
Rob's cackling was just magical.
@@adamsbja You meant maniacal, right? 🤔😂
Brown clown, innit
Every task:
Greg: “I want to see Paul’s”
Paul: 😇
Not 3 minutes in, and I'm having difficulty breathing after "Melon, innit?"
I love that Al saw the morse code, and subconsciously reversed it somehow: He popped all but two instead of popping two!
I love when they get the cracker and and they don’t just rip it open they look for a partner to do it with them.
"It's those slo-mo ones you're doin'" absolutely slayed me hahaha
Rob's surprise actually brought me to tears in laughter.
I would surprise Alex by greeting him very warmly with a good handshake and a smile, and giving some heartfelt compliments. Like that I appreciate the hard work he does and that I think he's a nice fellow. I bet that would surprise the shit out if him coming from any contestant.
Or by doing absolutely nothing, not being there at all. He just opens the shed to a bunch of quiet, normalness.
I would've blocked up the door lmao
when I read the morse code and it said "pop just two and win" I was like "oh no"
I wanna be friends with Rob Beckett, he laughs so easily, hanging out with him I'd feel like I'm Far funnier than I actually am
"I think that what I do is counteract Rob's level of enthusiasm which doesn't seem to be determined by what's happening...he's just relentlessly enthusiastic about whatever it is. He would approach a visit to Disney Land in the same way that he'd approach a visit to Guantanamo. He is equally positive about everything." -Romesh Ranganathan
Rob and Sara are giving strong "older sister & younger brother ready to cause some mischief" vibes
Or: cousins who practiced French kissing with each other
the morse code balloons lmao it's 'debajo de la mesa' all over again
When Al said it looks like morse codr I instantly thought of Jon Richardson asking Alex if he knows what debajo de la mesa means haha
I would have just locked him in the shed🤣
I would have done nothing and just leave. That's the most unexpecting thing you can do
@@demerion Agreed. Although I think he would have been genuinely surprised if he were locked in.
Alice's attempt at surprising Alex in series 6 is my favorite.
Well, but he'd have heard someone locking him in, so that wouldn't have been very surprising, I guess
Rob’s “jet wash Nan” surprise was most definitely one of the craziest “breakdowns” I’ve had the pleasure to watch on TM!
I used to have a job running escape rooms and the way the teams acted when trying to free alex is literally EXACTLY how people act in escape rooms.
I think Rob's laugh is the most insane thing I've ever heard
The “Mummy says we’re good at puzzles” line is so underrated
Surprised nobody brought in a “heavy metal” album
That would have been good.
Using the Surprise-O-Meter, how surprised are you?
CurveTheRain about here *gestures*
I'd have taken it totally literal and went on eBay to buy some Osmium...
My first instinct was tungsten since it's heavy AF but also affordable.
Is Paul doing a character, or is he just a pathologically chill dude?
Yes.
He’s just Romesh without any amount of Anger
After watching 2 episodes, I'm beginning to think he may have a mental disability.
chilled* not chill.
Strawberry Unicorn being ‘chill’ is a state of mind and a way of life. Being ‘chilled’ is to be cooled down
Fuck outta here with your stupid corrections tryna make yourself feel better and others bad but you just wrong and stupid
Paul always looks so sad. I just want to hug him.
I think that's how he gets you
Me too... I would just like to check in with him and make sure he's doing well
Every time someone asks Alex what the condiment is, he just said the color and I think that was a very funny thing.
Brown sauce is a specific sauce, we do not have it in the US
@@mcv2178First, he did the same for other colours.
Second, while there may be some differences in edge cases, "brown sauce" in the UK is essentially "steak sauce" in the US. For example "A1 Steak Sauce" in the US is a "brown sauce" in the UK.
The footage of Rob's surprise for Alex is downright cursed when you watch it without context
It’s cursed when you watch it WITH context.
In Canada, 911 is for police so for a full second I thought they were actually gunna call the police to help get Alex out
In the US, "911's a Joke"
Same here! I'm from the US and was like oh God they're gonna call the cops
Same hahaha
In the uk the police number is 0118 999 881 999 119 7253
@@gaco98 to whom it may concern, FIRE FIRE FIRE
I’ve noticed the prizes have gotten significantly less valuable since series 1 😂
Al's "clock" looked kinda pricey.
@@anitagielen6850 He is, after all, Al "Moneybags" Murray. 😃
Mark Watson disagrees
UA-cam recommended this to me because Series 2 had Jon Richardson in it, and I can't stop watching Cats Does Countdown. I think I'm addicted to this now, too. DAMN YOU BRITTISH TV! STOP BEING SO FUNNY!
Wait till you find out the other shows like Would I Lie to You, QI, Big Fat Quiz and Mock of the Week
Binge watching this show has been the most fulfilling way I’ve spent quarantine
Why do I get the feeling only Sara and Greg fully understood the "Pretend you are someone else now innit?"
I would expect those two to be the first to catch a fisting joke
@@chelseawildflowerloftinwey1945 I see it as more of a masturbation joke. I think Paul's playing off of the old idea that if you wank with a numb hand it'll feel like better (because it feels like somebody else is doing it).
@@rewcalYT ohhhhhH
14:40 lmao he's just cackling away. He doesn't care about anything, he's just enjoying it
I'm kind of sad nobody considered throwing a surprise party with cake for Alex. That would have been nice.
Finally! I thought I was the only one thinking the most surprising thing on taskmaster is someone being really nice to Alex, like Mike Wozniak. That was a big surprise this season. A party and present would have really weirded him out.
@Faulty Fox I would have just hit him with a cake.
Surprise! Cake in the face.
@@andrewgehling6566or the bum 😏
That escape room challenge looked like the most fun, but I'd have at least asked Alex if I could just dislocate his thumbs.
You freak
“Woah! Woah! Woah! Woah! I’m bored . . . "
Into season 3 already & Greg still hasn't said "Little Alex Horne".

I love al laughing at every task before he reads them out loud
“Alex you’ve been a very bad boy” just the entire thing was unhinged lmao
"free alex" should have been a task they did every series, great fun
Al Murray's surprise attempt is especially funny when you remember that the taskmaster house backs up onto a golf course
I know this show was already popular in the UK for years and for good reason. But I feel a surge in popularity internationally. Hopefully. Cause these men and women deserve the recognition.
Totally agree! I am german and so glad that full episodes are uploaded. British tv is amazing
Im in the UK and had never even heard of it until about a week back when I was recommended an episode by the UA-cam algorithm. I have watched 7 seasons back to back since in the last few days.
@@chriswhamilton where and how plz
Note to self: pick Team Creepy Twins - not Team Beard - if I ever have to do an escape room.
Greg: "Are you two siblings?"
Sarah: "Lord, I hope not, after what we've been up to."
Also, if Series 12 is anything to go by, pick the Smart But Ditzy parents instead of the Three Oblivious Kids
And based on Series 2 of Taskmaster NZ, pick Laura Daniel, not David Correos. 😃
16:03 totally missed the opportunity to say “how many horns?” “Well, 5 if you really think about it” and I’ve never been so disappointed
well at least the end credits give credit for the taskmaster theme music to "the horne section", so that joke exists somewhere
42:22 Paul's comment made me laugh out loud at my desk at work! aahhhh
Am I the only one genuinely disappointed that nobody tried to decipher the morse code message? Bummer.
Al was the only one to even recognizing it looked sort of Morseian (I just made up a word).
Does anyone know what it even says?
edit: I didn't watch the episode the whole way thru before i commented lol
eri139 yeah they translated it at the end of the task. It said “pop only two and win,” basically they didn’t have to pop every single balloon there, they could have just popped 2 of them and been in 1st place.
Rivanni 39:43 - the translation quite literally reads “pop just two and win.”
@@Rivanni I can kinda read morse, and that is genuine morse. The colour difference marks the letter boundaries. The cards says "Pop the balloons, fastest win. Time starts when you pop your NEXT balloon". The card NEVER specifies you need to pop all of the balloons on the strings, so you can just pop the one that the card is in, pop one on the racks to start the time, pop another one, and say you're done to stop the time immediately.
I’m now Paul’s biggest fan! He’s fricken hilarious!
I love this show, and the fact that you bring in comedians to play it is something every countries tv game shows should do because this is hilarious.
MUMMY SAYS WERE GOOD AT PUZZLES
LMAO
"A really clever idea horrifically executed" is the theme of the show. "Ambitious but Rubbish" was already taken by the BBC.
I'm so happy this channel exists.
"One hour? That's ages! Bring me some knitting..."
Didn't know Alex always wanted to be the Doctor...
I want you to know that I appreciate this comment a lot. The 8th Doctor is so underappreciated.
Underrated part of this series, Dave and Al giggling quietly together whenever Paul is being Paul.
I love that if Sara would have just said the weight of her box, it having a 12.5kg weight in it, she would have gotten three extra points. AND it would have bumped Rob down at least one point, potentially two if Greg decided to give Al third place still, regardless, so she very well could have won it
If Rob and Sara are twins then Greg is definitely the father... and Roisin Conaty the mother. One big happy Aryan family.
Is roisin a natural blond?
And Bob Mortimer is the grandfather
Sara(38) and Roisin(40) are roughly the same age...
@@E_y_a_l you are not really suggesting that I was actually being serious here??
@@jgg75 No, just very unkind to Roisin.
The “Your Time Starts Now” task was great, I love it when they get all escape-room-like. As Vic will say in the future, very much a task from the world of the customized inhaler.
This show bringing together Sarah and Rob is the best thing that's ever happened
Rewatching this season, I realize so many moments both give me unbelievable joy, and haunt me in my nightmares
"What's this?"
Red
"Whats this?"
Green
42 mins
Rob- It's so tight!
Paul- You can pretend it's someone else now innit.
🤣
42:27 That's so adorable that he got the biggest reaction from Sarah.
13:01 it's giving me life that Dave is visible under the netting and apparently crouched up the fence like a ninja
Imagine winning 5 heavy boxes and one of your hands is tied up in "enough" layers of tape.
Imagine being that guy.
Sara kills me, I love her sense of humour.
Every time I see balloons on this show, tree wizard gets stuck in my head.
Paul's would've been so good if he had thought to put the button press and not been in the box but instead snuck up behind him and scared him
I genuinely worried when Paul popped the balloons
I’m confident Al could be a good mob boss
The suprise segment had me completely floored the entire time. GOD did I never expect to love this show this much.
paul is so bad at tasks but in such a funny way, i love it. I haven't watched the rest of this Series yet but he's gotta be my favorite so far
Paul looks like he's so lost and confused this entire series
Joe Thomas, innit.
Rob Beckett's gleeful little laugh is so contagious
22:30 Karma Test by Gregor Davies isn't a real book. "Karma Test" is an anagram of "Taskmaster." they made a whole fake book just for the escape room task. amazing.
that’s not enough letters though...
Kaitlin Carpenter shhhh ;)
Kaitlin Carpenter you’re right, it’s missing one of the S’s.
And a t
Greg saying "brown clown" while trying not to laugh should have gave him the win lmfao
“Kids wiggle around.”
“Mummy says we’re good at puzzles.”
“The trio of dickheads.”
I never realized how impressive the bass line is in the theme song.
THE DONG AND THE GONG is the best episode name ever
Paul Chowdry is great, but even better is watching Dave Gorman almost die with laughter from watching Paul's insane tasks every episode.
