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
"My hat my bra Ghandi" was too good to ignore
it drove me crazy it wasn't "My hat my-Bra-ndi" lol
Lol
I'm afraid they didn't hear me. I said Her Majesty the Cream.
@@cellfloam maybe top Tim Vine moment, along with making a big AN and getting stopped by the cops.
Gandhi.
Asim's face when he realizes he has to act out his fictional animals in mime is one of the best sight gags this show has ever had.
And game of thrones characters with the three-eyed raven
i came here to read that thanks.
Second only to Alice’s face when she realized “blue tit” was a required response.
I really like alex's face at @40:39, just pure joy at alice doing well.
to be fair he did pretty damn well
Can we not take a second to talk about how good Asim is at charades? That was pretty brilliant.
If this show was all charades and egg throwing...
@@cooljammer00 Rob Beckett and Ed Gamble would not be happy bunnies
Yeah, but Russell conveying, and Alice guessing "blue tit" was pretty damned impressive.
I agree 100%😂
27:54 can somebody explain that to me please? 😄
How did they get syllables from a tap to the arm?
Tim and Liza on the couch are giving me such supportive parent energy. Your child is absolutely embarrasing themself out there and all you can do is roll with it.
I thought they were going to disqualify Russel's throw because his left foot was just past the mark. Thought it was going to be another Joe Wilkinson.
With Joe Wilkinson, the Task included not stepping on the Red. This task was "this attempt must be made behind this stump". Russel finished his "attempt" at throwing before he passed the stump in his follow-through.
Also wouldn't be funny twice
@@AokijiTheIceWarrior Would have been funny if Joe came in to petition for a disqualification.
If you've seen the outtakes you'd know that they considered it!
Yeah, thats some serious BS
The adorable moment when Russell flips Alex off and he juuuust catches it and is genuinely offended.
Timestamp?
25:38 I included the charades before it for context
And Alice's unbridled joy at the flip off.
25:47
Alex usually has his serious, deadpan demeanor, but it was fun to see him break a couple times, here and a few times laughing during the final task. I can't recall if I've seen him break before, but it was nice to see
That animal charades task is hands down the most impressive thing I’ve ever seen
My jaw is literally on the floor. Literally. Stunningly great work.
How Alice got "Liger" is bloody impressive!
I almost thought Greg would have reversed the score due to asims incredible creativity, and the miracle that Tim and Lisa managed to get any of them
@@robburgess4556 Russel's team won almost entirely based on Alice
It's pretty impressive. There are a lot of rules that help with communication, but still impressive
Every prior season: Read the task with a fine tooth comb and find any possible loophole.
This season: May or may not read the task. I'm sure guessing what it says is fine
In the past "is that allowed"
Now "surely they wouldn't have just done it, would they?"
This kinda makes it better if they don't have to limit the phrasing intricatly
Definitely. The show is still great, but I loved it when they'd take the written rules strictly and argue about it. The 'take a photo of people holding eggs' task and allowing photoshopped stuff annoyed me. That's not taking the picture. Tim's with the repeating of himself in the photo was actually clever.
@@TheSpruta Greg has a long history of allowing camera trickery though. Noel got rewarded for camouflaging himself as a banana.
“You may not look inside the box”
Me: so they’re just going to empty out the box.
Alice looked like she was having so much fun shaking before Alex asked her if she had read the task properly.
Looked like the dance Ally Sheedy did in The Breakfast Club.
@@TheJoePilato Exactly what I thought, so cute
Looked like Maniac from Flashdance.
"alice? Are you sure you've read the task properly?" lmao
I would have waited to see how long she felt like doing that :D
Poor Russell trying to get rid of his gf's spy cam and ended taking it back home anyways.

its so funny to me that this is actually a spoiler but also not really
@@psynom3777 watch the video before reading comments then
@@simonlutgens no
@@psynom3777 ok but don't expect anyone to be sorry when they've spoiled something for you
I love how genuinely concerned Alex was when Alice misunderstood the task and also made a raw pancake
And when she mentioned it she said it in the same way I'd expect a hotel restaurants reviewer to talk about the restaurant's pancakes 33:46. It's like she's complaining in an overly-insulted way.
It was so adorable when she shook all that stuff out of the headband though, she looked like she was having a great time
IM genuinely worried about her... WTF is wrong with people's brains anymore?!?! Is it contagious?
...cuz that would explain trump...
@@terryfuldsgaming7995 wot?
@@terryfuldsgaming7995 both haven't really felt the need to develop wisdom. Both seem to get by just fine. Brains are overrated, I suppose - with over 6 billion of us.
Trump is there because the 'smart' people sold off entire industries for a bit of profit. Like Oxycontin was willing to basically make addicts out of all them overly frustrated people without batting an eye - blaming them for the opioid crisis they themselves created to obtain a few bucks. The US army sends young boys to secure investments and they get to pay with their mental/physical health, their blood and a few with their lives, again for a few measily bucks. NRA, same bull, like healthcare in general. America explains Trump pretty fine; its concept runs on a massive load of gullible patriots, puppeteered by a few greedy fatcats - and everyone seems to think that is normal - a shining example to the world: Peoples brains have always been messed up that way. The vatican did the exact time thing for a few centuries. It always comes crashing down - history repeats. Because we so smart...
Thank god Alice has a lesser grasp of reality...
Honestly I thought Asim screwed himself over with that list of animals, but that was an admirable recovery. Taskmaster contestants never fail to amaze me.
It's a really beautiful format. I won't say it brings out the "best" in people, but it definitely brings out things we would likely never otherwise see.
I like that Alice isn't necessarily bad at the tasks, she just makes up her own versions of the tasks and does that instead.
If I go to your restaurant and ask for a peeled carrot and you give me the peel of an orange, I'd say you failed pretty spectacularly.
As someone with ADHD, the ideal is to have one practice round where you can do the task you came up with in your head and then revisit the rules to figure out what they're really asking.
Neurotypical people may ask why not read and understand the rules first? Because that is very hard for my brain. It is boring, I may have to reread them several times because my brain doesn't want to focus when it's bored.
Let me try it out for myself, though, and my internal motivation will carry me through and make dealing with the rules much easier.
This kind of learning model has been shown to be effective for neurotypical people too. The whole idea of "grammar in context," for example.
The traditional model of lecturing students with grammar rules that they have to memorize is demonstrably ineffective. Most people find the rules hard to understand and memorize and often forget them immediately upon leaving school.
BUT with grammar in context, you ask a student to write a whole essay or story about something they care about, without worrying too much about grammar. Then you as the teacher go over it with them and explain corrections that they should make, and why. Then they make the corrections and you go over it again. Repeat as necessary.
Neurodivergent or ND people might need a practice run. But everyone can benefit from it. That would be universal accessibility.
Oh, and I mention ADHD because misinterpreting rules and excitedly doing your own thing is very characteristic of hyperactive/inattentive people.
I also suspect that there are a ton of ND people, specifically people with ADHD, in comedy because it provides an outlet for our constant need for stimulation, variety, excitement, etc.; does not [constrain] us with rigid rules regarding behavior or how we manage our time; and suits our tendency to be night owls.

Dying at the fact that Tim and Russel decided they needed 4 eggs for their single pancake
I would have panicked and thrown eggs in mine too, having never made pancakes from scratch before. But Russell ended up making an omelette with flour in it.
@@cooljammer00 I've done a little bit of baking, and you basically only ever need 2 at most.
Need a lot of protein to support their manliness
The absolute joy on Alex's face when Alice rolled her quail egg quite well.
40:39
@@juliabillman1168 bless you
Yes, Alex clearly fancies Alice, as he's so happy when she does well and sounded so concerned when she was getting it wrong.
But, in fairness, I'm in the same camp - I love a redhead - although I'd like to think I'd be more cool about it (I wouldn't be).
@@klaxoncow he was probably just relieved to see her do well for once, especially after shaking everything out of her headband.
Then again, he was the same way with Katherine Parkinson, so now you mention redheads...
Tim going "blue dog.. that famous breed.." not knowing shit's about to get a lot weirder
The look of panic in Asim’s face when he finds out what the task really is
Alice and Russel genuinely work great together in the group tasks, they're both impressive and funny to watch.
"You may not open the box or look inside" - does this mean that they could have just removed the items inside the box with their hands?
Omg they could’ve 😂
That's what I thought!
Sounds right to me!
"Hey Sound Guy, could you come over here and open this box, and use my phone to take a picture of whatever is inside?"
That was the conclusion they came to in a task during a similar series, yes? I think series 4? They were in the office room with these large long sacks, if I recall.
I’ve done nothing productive during this quarantine except watch all the episodes of Taskmaster on UA-cam, and it’s time WELL SPENT
Hahahaahaa me too😂
Ditto!
“So how did you get through quarantine?” “Well, I spent most of it waiting for Thursday’s.”
Same
@@athirkell Most of the people who watch on here are probably international viewers who don't have regional access.
I love that Alice has a new pet name for Alex each episode 😊
Monday: waiting for taskmaster
Tuesday: waiting for taskmaster
Wednesday: waiting for taskmaster
Thursday: immediately watching the new episode
Friday: waiting for taskmaster
Saturday: waiting for taskmaster
Sunday: waiting for taskmaster
yep
It is another good reason to ask yourself the question: is it thursday yet?
Im glad to find kindred spirits
Sunday: rewatch last week’s episode
They’re all on Dailymotion. Unless you like the waiting. :)
Absolutely love Alex's face during the Charades. He looks like he's having a great time.
"RKA- Rarely Known As"
Gonna add that in my vocabulary now.
I thought he said "Really Known As" but both seem to work? I probably misheard.
@@gabrielleengel7476 i heard "really" too
I'm using RKA in my vernacular from now on.
Auto-generated captions say "a really rarely known" so that's no help.
Really wish they'd have proper captions on this. I missed a lot this episode.
I heard it as "really known as". But after seeing this comment, "rarely" seems much more likely - I've heard similar jokes from Alex before and the punchline is usually in the sense of "hardly ever known as XYZ".
Oh my, the task where they had to mime their listed animals is genius. I laughed so hard after Russel performed so well and then when Asim listed such dumb non existent animals. Comedy Gold!
supercut of alice greeting alex and james acaster ignoring him
Asim and his team guessing those obscure animals was genuinely amazing.
russel trying to get rid of his spy cam, ends up winning it back by winning the episode LOL
HAHAHAHA
At least he now has a spooky cupboard door and a weird picture of Asim he can put in front of it haha
Asim: three eyed raven.
Me: oh this will be fun.
I was like this too. But I will admit, I was pretty damned impressed after it was over.
I'm right there with Greg. I would've bet my life he couldn't communicate "eight-bollocked cat".
I just love that Alice, who clearly doesn't know a ton about sports, ended up in the series with the most amount of sport related tasks.
She did beat the best sportsman of this series, Russell in a football-based tiebreaker though
Alice's ability to guess the animals is genuinely impressive :)
And Asim’s ability to charade his ludicrous animals is also genuinely impressive
13:33
I was genuinely terrified that they were gonna pull that Joe Wilkinson shit on Russel right then.
Poor Alice, she looked so happy shaking everything from the headband
Love that look of genuine joy on Alex's face when Alice rolled her egg on the target
love how every episode Russel Howard takes every chance to prove how much of a lad he is, lmao
I love that to Nish is now a verb.
Well played.
The very fact that Assim and his team salvaged his obscure animal list to this degree was actually quite impressive! 😄
I find Alice's shake-everything-off-my-head dance really adorable
Very Ally Sheedy!
Alice shaking her headband free will forever be the cutest thing to happen on Taskmaster
also the dumbest thing to happen
Strong contenders are 'Clap with me, click with me!', 'a shid' and Hugh and Mel's wheely bin task
@@Droooooo0 nah mate helium egg
40:38 Alex's smile seing someone succeed is so wholesome!
I just trawled the comments to find someone else who thinks so too! He looks so sweet
Such an enjoyable part of the show :)
"Yes we have room for a quickie in the kitchen" -Alex Horne
You spelled Alex Horny incorrectly
chance would be a fine thing
You can tell Greg was serious when he said ''I genuinely worry about you Alex'' because he sounded way more welsh than usual :D
Asim's charades skill is out of this world. The tiptoeing for "laser"! Can't believe how well they did.
Alex being happy for Alice at 40:39 is absolutely heartwarming
The only thought that bounces around my head while watching this show is, man, Alex Horne is a freaking genius.
the reveal of asim's whipped cream in the pancake task makes me laugh out loud every time i see it
I'm so freaking impressed with the animal-miming task, are they all just experts at charades?? That was so cool to watch!
Asim pointing to his elbow and Tim immediately going "syllable" is some advanced charades shit. They've def played it before.
There's something so damn funny about how Greg overreacts when he's "scared." The yelling is just perfect and always has me laughing out loud. I can't stress how much I love this show. Thank you, from an American!
Alice just shaking her headband full of things off at 31:35 is just so cute
like she's having so much fun like a kid playing around with her toys
Ohhh I finally get why the bra was wet. Like Alice said, it was covered in syrup. Syrup. David. Hat and Bra.
I’m just gonna leave it at that because it’s a massively out of context lol
😂😂😂 imagine someone reading this without the video hahaha
without context it just looks like you had a stroke mid thought tbh :D but good job
I haven't finished this video. I'm so confused.
La bone Apple teeth
“I have a spy cam.”
“I have some old ham.”
“I have a weird fan.”
“I have a *hinge* :(.”

I've rewatched Russell knocking out those bales about a hundred times. I just like it when someone does effortlessly well on a task.
Alice and Asim really Nish'd this episode haha
I can't believe I'm gonna tell my kids in 20 years Taskmaster is, what got me through a worldwide pandemic...
Ditto. I just told co-workers that yesterday on a zoom meeing.
I'll tell your kids that it got me through, too! If I manage to last into my 60s.
I'm just getting over catching Covid for the first time now and it's been a pretty lengthy battle, and here's Taskmaster still giving the boost for me - rewatching old episodes definitely helped.
"Monster Cat, Mega Cat, Tiger Cat" is a GREAT name for a metal album
I wonder if the creator of Asim's fanart is watching this...
it wasn't even that bad!!
Indeed I am
ronan ó kane lucky you get a mention!
@@ronanokane4068 Lmfao, you probably loved this.
@@ronanokane4068 I hope you could take it in good faith? I kinda saw it and was like "daamn ouch"
The funniest part about the cupboard door is it took more effort to remove it than it would have to just tighten the loose screw.
"A pancake is not dissimilar to an omelette"
In a way, I knew exactly what I was doing, but in another, much more real way, I had no idea what was going on.
I have to admit I've been watching this on my TV, so I haven't seen the comments until now...I'm delighted to have found My People here. LOL
I watch these on my tv and then later come here :) The funniest, most wholesome comment section of youtube
Welcome to our cult. (Waiting and waiting to see season 9 again!!)
Watching Liza and Tim guess with Asim was like watching a set of tired, tired parents determined to have get in some quality time with their overgrown son.
So I stumbled upon Taskmaster a few months ago while in the midst of a deep dive into UA-cam. And here I am, a few months later, anxiously awaiting Thursday so I can watch the next episode. Cannot express how much I look forward to this 44 mins every week.
21:54 "possibly Oscar Pistorius, because that could be an Oscar and you've covered the bra in piss"
had me CACKLING
My scariest item in the kitchen is clearly a forgotten lunch box. You dont know when you left it, what is in it and what bad smell will hit you when you open it.
I genuinely let it sit there for another week, letting it grow and hoping it will run out of my house eventuelly by ityself.
Put it in the freezer for a while before opening it. Kills all the bacteria, and makes any smell much more bearable.
I found it incomprehensible how Russel instantly interpreted "obscure" as "rare/endangered/extinct", while Asim interpreted it as "non-existent." Neither of them interpreted the word more in accordance with its actual meaning, which I think would be "little-known, not something that everyone off the street would be able to name."
...how is "rare" not in line almost perfectly with your description.
@@christopherconnolly5791 because while no one ever sees dodos (since they're extinct), almost everyone knows of their existence, so they're not obscure
it's not really THAT incomprehensible. obscure has several meanings you can almost think of it as a degree of knowledges. two of which are both Russell and Asim's interpretations. it can also mean something unknown or known by a few (rare/endangered/extinct while we know of them in theory, majority of us have never and will never see one - hence obscure), and non-existent is also unknown, hence obscure for obvious reasons.
yeah I looked up the etymology of 'obscure' and I've got to say both of them have a solid foundation in the meaning. "The figurative sense of 'not readily understood, not manifest to the mind or understanding' is from early 15c."
I've personally never heard of a laser-beam tortoise, but that's just me.
Alice saying "i have loads of balls" killed me
Taskmaster Thursday's are my favorite days of the week
My favorite is Saturdays, but to each their own 🤷🏻♂️
It is the day that I get to consume the moat youtube ads.
I'm with you there!

"The bottom is easier than the top" as my mum would-
What does that phrase mean?
@rovielgalang1199 As I understood, it doesn't mean anything. In the moment of course he meant "it's easier to sort out who lost the task/is at the bottom of the ranking than knowing who is at the top", then he tried to make a joke out of it but stopped himself in the middle, because he also didn't know what it would even refer to.
36:42 - 36:57 for context, and Alex admitting that he has no idea where that joke was going.
It could refer to a fashion choice, lol.
I can't help but watch Alice dancing happily with massive smile on her face in the kitchen over and over again.
I love how Alice kept giving Alex different nicknames when saying "hi" throughout the series.
I love this show just as much as Whose Line when I was younger. Has the same feel to it.
I wish they'd sometimes reinforce the idea that the points are made up and don't matter, esp since the prize is often 5 pieces of household garbage.
@@cooljammer00 On British panel and quiz shows the points never matter, the aim is always to entertain people, they are sort of our answer to sitcoms.

Will you look at that! Eggs are sturdy!
“Alice Levine’s Sweaty Hams” is my new band name
Alice Levine has to be the most adorable contestant to ever appear on this show.
@Kevin L Man thats specific, sounds like you've got some personal issues to address and maybe an incel subreddit or two to join
shes so dumb tho...
@@Dr.Boring And just cuz I can see it coming. yeah i did call her dumb. because I see her as a person, not just a pretty face. And people can be dumb. The fact you dont care about her intelligence, again just reiterates my point that you dont see her as a person, just a trophy. (and thats putting it NICELY, we all know what you really see her as.)
@@terryfuldsgaming7995 she's not so much dumb, more doesn't really give much of a shit (and therefore thought) towards the tasks. She comes in, fucks up, knows she fucked up but doesn't really seem bummed about it by the end. But she performs well on team tasks because it's easier to invest yourself into something when there's another person there.
Compare her to previous lovable idiots like Nish, for example, who did care about the tasks and still failed a lot but reacted much more passionately and was therefore more entertaining to watch.
@Kevin L dude, who hurt you?
In my grandma's kitchen by the window there was this metal sunflower with eyes and a smiley face on it. It terrified me so much when I was little I had nightmares about it. She no longer has it on display because I was so genuinely terrified of it.
It's weird the things that scare kids.
@@qwertyTRiG true. I had stickers of skull and crossbones which glowed in the dark and I was so scared by them that I stuck them on the back of my shelves and other places were I couldn't see them.
I'm still finding them now and then at the weirdest places.
ps: I can't remember why I didn't took them off entirely
12:40 Liza was Bosh before Kerry made it her thing. It'll be a real treat seeing them do CoC together.
31:34 I'm keeping this time stamp for myself to go back to what I found as, the cutest and most adorable segment. And that innocent "sorry" ahh Alice.
You've also got a really nice beat going on in the background thank to Alex and the Horne Section.
The margin of victory was Russell figuring out Sir David Hattandbra.
Syrup.
Scariest thing in your kitchen:
*I bring in my own cooking*
Watching this series I'm continually struck by how much Russell Howard resembles an old retired British stuntman from the 70s, in his leathery tan skin, blinding white teeth, smoky tinted glasses, jacket, and general demeanor
He'll get her back...
39:00 i found greg chuckling to himself and going “ohhh -just excited sorry “very cute for some reasons
Someone once compared Asim, Tim and Liza to an only child visiting his childless aunt and uncle, and nowhere is that more true than the animal task.
Liza: Guess the animal that your teammate has on their list.
Asim: that look at the camera. 27:00
"You may not open the box or look inside" Well, nothing in the rules said I couldn't just take the items out of them box through the hole!
right, I was wondering why no one did that, but I guess it didn't matter, everyone successfully figured out what the items were anyway
I live that they had time for a quickie in the kitchen lol
Not a sentence I thought I'd ever hear Alex say...
I love how they showed the paintings in the order of "quite detailed" to "preschool doodle".
Alex Horne getting paid to be called lovely pet names by Alice Levine is one of the better jobs in television I'd have to say
Having Asim as the animal creator was a stroke of genius
It's such a shame that the more recent episodes have the transitions cut on youtube. They were so delightful! 14:53 is a good example. Alex's face at his own art 😆
i like greg cackling at the live task like a king watching his courtiers humiliate themselves for his amusement
i think we need a compilation of Alice trying to defense her prize task while Greg straight up dismisses her reasoning LOL. I bet his teacher self came back there
When Alice rolled her eyes and looked disgusted at saying 'Margaret Thatcher' I fell a bit in love.
holy shit when russell flipped off alex. one of my favorite tm moments now. it was so sincere lmao alex's face omg
How did Russel actually mime out Liger
and how did alice get it
When Alice started shaking the stuff out of her headband I had a massive flashback to Molly Ringwald's dancing in The Breakfast Club.
I love how Alice always calls Alex something different when she enters the lab.
I wondered if that was going to end up being an individual challenge. If it was they never revealed it.
I highly recommend going back and rewatching the charades task, but just watch Alex the whole time.
"It's nothing weird like a fleshlight is it?"
"Huh"
"What? Oh, Nothing"
Asim deserved bonus points for eight bollocked cat
Liza sticking with skirts with various circle patterns is a fashion mood and I love it.
I've been looking forward to this the whole week!
Me too!!
i think we all have !!
So have I
Laughed a lot, but laughed hardest at “and a pissed E.T.”
