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 don't know what she was thinking when she threw her sock into the river, we all learned in season 1 that once it's in the river its disappeared
😂😂😂😂😂
No it isn't.
@@ZedRebel yes it is.
But Alex can still see it!
Alex can find it because he is secretly a beaver
I love how tax avoidance has become a genuine criterion in this series
taxation is theft
They may be affulent, but they're not immoral Imaoo
Yeah, it's saying "normal people pay taxes" and making the rich look like the morally bankrupt and mentally challenged wealth hoarders they are. It's about recognizing that polite society requires cooperation from all sides, or it won't remain polite forever.
Series 3 aired in 2016 and that was when news broke about all of the celebrity tax avoiders in the UK that used a loophole to skip taxes, most folks like the guys from Take That only got mocked for that year, Jimmy Carr still gets mocked about it in 2022.
We need to see Jimmy Carr on this show at some point.
i absolutely LOVE when Alex says "[person's name] took slightly longer..." and then says a ridiculously long time. such a good, consistent joke.
My favourite is David Baddiel with the lasso task. "You took... slightly longer than all 4 of the others combined"
Al "Moneybags" Murray: spends hundreds of dollars on a taxi to win a task.
Also brings a broken flashlight.
earlier someone made the mistake of not winning after bringing a blank cheque...
@@medleyshift1325 Omg almost forgot, that was Josh right? Who ended up winning?
@@jenelaina5665 yeah Josh signed the blank cheque, so funny
@@jenelaina5665 Skinner
Jennifer Schlicht £60 spent on a taxi, he must be a millionaire!
the old man wheezing when Paul swore was hilarious.
Whisper swearing.
I died laughing at the old dude reaction lmao he couldn't hold it back lol
The best part of the episode. Top 10 moments of all episodes.
Paul's demeanor and delivery are gold.
@@SomeThingOrMaybeAnother He figured it out, insulting Alex impresses Greg.
21:50
Paul calmly saying “The problem with this is I can’t see anything” made me laugh so hard
Same 😂😂
I just wanted to write that comment 😂😂
@@maikenelissen3767 ggg8d
Innit.
I was disappointed that they all wore the blindfolds on their faces.
I love when they include Alex in their tasks because he either looks like he's having so much fun or he's so uncomfortable. Lol
Did you know Alex is actually the creator of the show?
He's weird because he's definitely someone who will make himself uncomfortable to have more fun or, when he is actually having fun, he will pretend to be uncomfortable because it adds to the bit.
Them all having a score of 6 at the same time was probably the most immensely satisfying thing I've ever seen
I was pretty satisfied when 4 people lined up didn’t expected all 5 to happen. That would mean they were in the exact opposite order so probably a safe bet paul got last lmao

If Rob had watched series 1 and seen how unimpressed Greg was with Josh's football items, he would never have brought in that sticker book
Josh got for his football sticker book the most points with four, Bob Mortimer got for the one he brought in series five still three points. It's interesting how football sticker books keep coming up in prize tasks.
Maybe a running joke. An unfinished sticker book.
@@bobaector23 I've got an unfinished Harry Potter sticker book. And also 500 extra stickers that are already in the book as well, so I didn't need to glue them in again. So, if any future contestant wants to really impress the taskmaster with a sticker book that doesn't feature the dreadful sport of football, and was also an impressive waste of money, hit me up.
@@TetrisH8er What are they? How does one collect stickers while watching the world cup?
@@Soloman_Gumball You know how things like baseball/hockey cards work? It's similar, except the packs are a number of stickers and you can also buy a book which has a spot for each sticker in the set.
Since the stickers are only available for a limited time, (e.g. during the World Cup), getting the full set to fill the book either involves trading or spending a large amount of money.
Alex’s dad seems like such a sweet gentleman.
@@BrittBebs oops don't know how that happened
*shakes head in approval*
Because he's an anaethethst.
@@SennaAugustus it's called aenethecetist
18:43
I love Paul at this point. "You need to watch more foreign films"
LITERALLY floored me...I fell over laughing
Me too. Fucking killed me, especially with how bad Paul's been getting it since the series started.
Around episode 3 I realized Paul is a genius...
I had to pause the video because I was laughing too hard. The man’s got a great sense of humor
Ngl, I didn't know him before seeing him here, and in the first couple of episodes, I actually had to google him to see and find out if he had a medical condition or something. Now I understand that he was simply a higher dimensional being all along, blessing us with 9000 IQ humour we were never ready for.
32:10
"the insane winking gay magician" - there's a sentence out of context
Ironically, without context, it seems less weird...
@@clown-eating-hippo I probably should have included the "Quite a nuanced character" bit too lol
Dumbledore?
its my favourite line of the show as well.

Hugh the anaesthetist deserves Paul's Chinese meditation balls. He seems like a very calm and pleassnt man who deserves to have his golden years be as stress-free as possible.
@PokerJoker811 I love that Hugh seemed to genuinely have as much fun as the contestants!
@@chicagoboy1106 Oh yeah! And I've never seen such a sarcastic nod! He was great!
Sometimes the comment section is better than any UA-cam video could ever be.
Don't quit your day job.
I like how Alex’s dad nods and shakes his head very convincingly and with much feeling every time.
"Just playing with them innit"
"something something, innit?"
-Paul chowdry literally any time he opens his mouth.
@@amystarnes5977 drove me crazy honestly
Its like someone described to Paul what "having fun" is over the phone.
I'm a bit surprised he didn't get a girlfriend there.
spooning with alex is fun! just ask greg
if the definition of fun was filtered through a game of Telephone, that is the version of fun that Paul had
Technically Paul’s square is the entire world if you go the other way
That's exactly what I would have done as well.
then it wouldn't be a square
It doesn’t have to be a square just a quadrilateral
Garlic Bread you blow my mind
It wouldn't be a square then...also I hate garlic bread😂😛
Paul’s deadpan is simply amazing.
I like that the closer you pay attention to him the funnier he is… where those who dismiss him probably think he’s boring.
This is my first run in with Paul and I do in the first episode of the season if there is something different about them and that I liked what that different ways. And so far this season he has not let me down once in terms of sheer comedic chops
I love people like that. He's one of my favorites.
also i relate to sneaking up on people who underestimate you, so i like to see it happen in media
Honestly yeah. It makes me sad watching him not do well, but goodness he's so funny
ah please dont overrate him.
I'm almost the opposite, I found him funny before he was on this, now I genuinely worry about him lol
I'm glad here in Canada they are called anaesthesiologist and not an anaesthist
Same in the US, much easier to pronounce
I was about to write down this very comment. How come they didn't call it "anaesthesiologist"? In Greek we say "anaesthisiologos" which is the exact analogue of an anaesthesiologist. On the contrary, we say "aesthitikos" that is "aesthetician" for someone who take cares of your beauty issues. The anaesthetist looks like out of place given that "we have to" follow the greek original version.
@@irondasgr English is a messed up language where some words can mean the opposite of itself, and where the oxford comma has been a subject of debate for decades. The rules are only guidelines and the whole thing is a mess. That is the only real reason I can think of.
The same here in the Philippines. I was very confused for a while
@@WukongTheMonkeyKing Exactly. Rather reminds me of the pirates' code from pirates of the caribbean. That's how it works - it's basically just guidelines for English anyway... and then sometimes it just makes itself up as it goes along. I'm saying this as a brit too. we know our language can be a bit daft too :')
I would love to see the full unedited footage of Paul trying to figure out what the man's profession was
7:23 Their mics were cut and you can STILL hear Beckett cackling, lol.
"I'd look like a Doctor Who villain"
"You already do"
I mean... yeah, he does look a lot like King Hydroflax.
100% likeness.
Uncanny how similar the two look, yeah
Complete with severed head. ;)
You think the two could be brothers? Golly.
Scrolled for a while to find this 😂
I'm so addicted to this show. I'm starting to have dreams with British dialect. 😂 I can't stop saying 'Innit?'
Innit is my favorite british uhmmm... colloquialism?
Addictive, innit?
ye, I've been starting to talk British again
I've started typing british
@@zirjaeger4037 ye, mines gotten worse and now my brain imagines that every person I conversate with is british
'You could buy a sofa,
I'm selling a sofa at the moment'
Any chance you'll release the full questioning from Paul, I think I'd watch the full 42 minutes. Love Taskmaster.
Keep them coming 😁😁😁
I want the full, unedited hour of him having fun in the bounce house.
You're Dr Dre, innit?
For those 15 sexual references? :)
Paul just alternates between being painfully unimaginative and unfunny to all of a sudden hilarious and witty. But it's better this way because you never expect it when a joke really lands innit
The thing is, and he made me think of that, how the persona affects your chances at the game. Greg already said in interviews that some of the contenders can get surprisingly competitive. And Paul never changes. That some comedic chops.
He has acted the same the whole series maybe you just got the stick out of your ass.
@@senorsavage8702 nope
@@ewanball still there lol
That's the thing with Paul, is he has his deadpan style _down_. lol Especially so, seems like, with this episode and the clothing "spread far and wide."
21:45 When Paul got pissed off and "Alex's dad" couldn't stop laughing, that was gold.
This man said David Banner with such confidence that for a second I thought I was wrong for thinking Bruce Banner was the Hulk
The character is named David Banner in the 70s TV show
Vishnu Rajan
Really? I didn’t know that. Thanks
Vishnu Rajan and here I was thinking of the American rapper...
@@Ari-pl7mn David Banner (the rapper) took his stage name from the character
David is actually Bruce Banner's middle name. A retcon, to account for the fact he was called David Banner in the late 70s/early 80s show, where Lou Ferrigno played The Hulk, but it's still canon
9:28 TREE WIZARD
This made scrolling through the comments worth it. 😂
HOLY SHIT it's another balloon
15:13 Remember that Alex Horne does all the music for the show with his band, The Horne Section
Seriously I've seen him a few times on Cats Does Countdown but have never thought that much of him but this show changes that!
@@yniquexx Alex seems like he was born to be the deadpan straightman but he's been fighting his destiny trying to be goofy until TM
Oh wow! Didn’t know that!
Wow, I didn't know that and I've stopped to listen multiple times at how good the music is! Thanks for your comment!
Rob: "Were you..... Dr Pepper?" 😂😂😂
Dave saying Hugh was his future self = 😂😂😂
And Paul is such a good sport
When they said bring a shiny item I really expected Paul to just be like "it's a mirror innit."
21:51 Paul makes the old timer crack up good ahahaha
How was that old man so charming while only nodding omg
At the beginning of this series, I thought Paul was pretty dull and out of place. I almost want to skip it. I'm glad I stuck around. Now I'm rooting for him!
He kinda switches between the two as well.
Yeah, Paul is hilarious. He puts on an act of a simpleton for laughs
I think Paul’s my favorite. Every time he’s on I laugh so hard
Bastard's crying, innit
I mean, he's dull and out of place, but in a good way
Anyone else want to watch all 42 minutes of Paul whispering to Doctor Hugh?
You mean Doctor Hugh Horne?
I want to hear all 15 sexual references and all 23 swear words
I would quite enjoy the Paul Chowdry questioning of Dr. Hugh Horne.
I want the full unedited hour of him having fun in the bounce house.
Doctor Who?
Rob winking looks like he's getting punched by an invisible fist. I call that a special effect.
Lol. Yes it does 😂😂😂
I feel that Taskmaster's true purpose has been to expose the truth that Paul Chowdhry and James Acaster are brothers from different mothers (...and fathers)
The weird part I like James a lot more, Paul seems more aloof. James fires back with witty retorts quicker. But i don't disagree lol
Paul has the most chaotic neutral energy I've ever seen
Alex has a wonderful father. He's so jolly and so full of personality, much like his son.
Is that really his father?
@@sekantungkentang no
@@sekantungkentangyes
An hour in a bouncy castle, he looks so disappointed, I would be phoning all my friends and partying
I have no friends, but I'd ask Alex to join me and jump on music.
I'd then ask for paper-confetti, then for strawberries.
Then for a rabbit (just to cuddle) and then for more music.
@@Widdekuu91 yes!!
@@Widdekuu91 This makes it sounds like you're milking task master for all it's money lmao
@@blazerheata6479
:P Well, strawberries and rabbits aren't that expensive (I'd assume they'd borrow the rabbit) but in all honesty, I'd probably ask for cake, lemonade, ice-tea, whip cream to put on the strawberries, a pillow and a blanket to sleep on, more bunnies...
I mean, I'd see how much I can get. As soon as Alex starts to get a worried frown, I'd stop.
But many times they ordered an 'A to Z'-ingredients-list to create dogfood-macaroni, so I *bet* they have some money to blow, right? :)
He was said because he'd already given away his twister set.
It surprised me that Alex's dad seemed more relieved after Rob's ten minute attempt than Paul's forty minute attempt, but then I realized they probably warned him before Paul came in... "This one might take a while"
I'd like to see Jimmy Carr compete on this show, he's almost always the host and I'd like him to be the contestant sometimes
I'd love to see him, David Mitchell, and Richard Ayoade as contestants, though I think the latter two would become crippled with frustration. Honestly no idea what type of contestant Jimmy would be, though I can see him putting in a sincere attempt to win. Frankly, I'd be excited just to see him not wearing a suit.
If you can find old episodes of "A League of Their Own" he's a regular contestant there
@@thomaswiggles I'm already laughing just thinking about it.
@@thomaswiggles I feel like David would be kinda like Jo where he would try to do the task with minimum effort but still be frustrated when it doesn't work
How about Graham Norton
18:19 Sara going "That's nice! That's nice!" to the others when they have 6 points each is so so so so so cute!
I've genuinely hurt myself laughing at the statistics of Paul trying to figure out the doctor guy
I love when something is clearly funny and Paul just stares blankly back in pain lol
31:14 I'm genuinely impressed he knew it was a D variant of the P-51. If anyone is curious, the P-51 originally had an in-line cockpit for better aerodynamics, but in the D variant was replaced with a bubble cockpit for better visibility during dogfights
You absolute legend. I greatly appreciate explaining the nuance, thank you for educating us comment goers
Al Murray is a comedian but also a serious history buff and he specialises in wars and conflicts.
Dave doesn’t know how to whisper. He was just doing a low-volume normal voice.
Maybe he was worried Hugh wouldn’t understand him. My grandma is younger than him and can barely here unless she is using a hearing aid.
There was a kid that went to school with us and Everytime we were whispering in class he would say something and couldn't whisper to save his life so we would just laugh our ass's off like who taught you how to whisper
Ingrid Catherine No because the challenge was to whisper so the old man would of course be able to understand him if he did. Dave just clearly cannot whisper. There are some guys like that.
Those guys are the worst. Lol
id like to say thanks youtube for letting america experience this show because love it
I love how the thumbnail of the episode is Sarah laughing at Paul’s individual task 😂
wow alex told greg no in this episode and greg conceded. during the scoring of the "special effects" task he wanted to give a draw and alex said "no it must be 5 points split." that must be the only time that's ever happened
Probably because in series 9 Greg gave the board game task a draw
@@iliketrains3495he does that more and more later on :P
But yeah one of the few times we see who is actually the boss XD
The old gentlemen was amazing! I think I would truly struggle at his task of having to only shake my head or nod while also lying. I feel like it would be a constant battle between my brain and my body.
Forgot how strong the banter was this season. The opening task was some great television especially everything between "You need a CD player to play yours" and "Welcome to last place."
The highlight for me was Paul putting on a blindfold and saying: "The problem with this is that I can't see anything"
why is tax evasion such a theme this series hahaha
Just wait until Jimmy Carr becomes a guest!
@Liz X
Are you a fan of tax evaders and tax evasion?
Tax evaders other than the vermin named in the show include all religious institutions & other criminal organisations, most multinational multimillion dollar businesses, all environmental rapists and polluters, to name a few. Which are your favourites?
@@distantcoff7391
Are you a fan of murderers?
Murderers other than the vermin named on TV include Serial Killers such as Jeffrey Dahmer and Harold Shipman as well as a plethora of mass shooters and even some of the occasional rapists you mentioned. Which are your favorites?
Just because they don't like Tax evasion doesn't mean they have to reference it so much in such quick succession. Quick being a smart ass, They asked a genuine and understandable question.
@@distantcoff7391 Wooooah, that came out of nowhere, lol.
She wasn’t saying she was pro-tax evasion, she just asked why this series brought it up so often, there are 10 other seasons where tax evasion wasn’t brought up even once. It was a fair question.
@Liz X
My apologies for being such a huge richard cranium.
The prize task really proves to me after watching 7 seasons, that this was one of the most relaxed and hilarious seasons. They all played off each other so well.

Since discovering this show three days ago, I have now started using "innit" and " genuinely" frequently and I've started thinking in a British accent on occasion.
Those two things became even more impressive when I discovered you are an Alpaca.
I've started using "genuinely" a lot more as well.
@@lebbo88 God, me too 🤦♂️. It's useful in so many sentences!
I didn't realise genuine was just a British thing
@@georgefelix6311 idk, I live in NY and I don't hear many people use it in the way they do. Like, yes, we say genuinely but not as much as I've heard used in shows like this where the cast is mainly British.
Dave saying Greg already looks like doctor who villain and then Greg's head being used as doctor who villain hydroflax
adrienne houndlover oh damn I didn’t even realize
I love that Greg did eventually become a Doctor Who monster.
was anyone else thinking that they could have “worn” the blindfolds anywhere but their eyes?
I felt huge sympathy for the anaesthetist.
His face seemed to say "I mean, it'd be nice if the kids called every now and again, but I'm fine, really."
"Insane Winking Gay Magician"
Best quote of the series.
Greg: "I want to mark my territory with your clothes."
It's like Saw, but convoluted flirting instead of murder.
british game shows are so much better than our american shows, especially this one, its just people messing around, I fucking love it
Couldn’t agree more! This show, WILTY, 8 out of 10 cats, QI, all of them soooo damn great! And they seem to be generally wittier and more well-rounded than I see on American tv shows that are similar in nature.
In game 12 of No More Jockeys we learn that Alex's dad is named Hugh and is a doctor...
“insane winking gay magician ” i like that
At the beginning of this series I was kind of skeptical; I thought “oh they all look kind of plain and bland” but now I think this might be my favorite group so far.
I actually skipped it, watched all the others and am now back for it. It was actually better than a number of the other series.
Idk I like most of the group but the whole tax joke really gets stale
Paul Chowdrey is fkn GORGEOUS!!!!!
THANK YOU YES IT NEEDS TO BE SAID
it’s in the eyes man
Dave should've followed up with "His Infinite Majesty King Hydroflax" to Greg already looking like a Doctor Who monster. I would have loved seeing Greg's response to that.
“ WHAT PRICE GLORY!?” 😂😂😂😂 i cant breatheeee
Hearing big mama's house being called a foreign film made me laugh so hard
Noel Fielding is in the audience and I know because of his amazing cackle, never noticed before.
I love this group because they are so supportive of each other and always try to help each other out! One of the best series :)
Agreed I am always smiling when Paul gets in a place over last place and the rest of the crew really seems to genuinely care for him and be rooting for him. Even Greg Seems to genuinely like him. At first I think he didn’t know what to make of him but it seems they’ve all kind of been really supportive with each other.
I’m really concerned as to whether or not they went back to retrieve their clothes after that. I wouldn’t want to leave a pair of trousers behind.
Mark Watson and Ed Gamble probably stole them already
Me too, i love all my socks
Paul’s facial expression, or lack there of, is priceless lol
I love watching Al and Dave giggle together through this whole series
"Insane Winking Gay Magician" is mood
30:35 Greg: “Tell me how this has affected the scoreboard.” Captions: “taught me how to skateboard”
Sarah genuinely looks beautiful in this episode. Absolutely stunning. Also, the clothing task had my sides splitting. So glad these got uploaded.
11:56 Diamond nips

I am genuinely happy every time Paul wins, it warms my heart so much
Al - Best Character | Dave - Best Wardrobe | Paul - Best Voice (of all time) | Rob - Best Smile | Sarah - Best Laugh!
Dave legitimately seems like someone who you would just love to have as a dad
It's hilarious because he does go on to play Who villain and it's just a head on a giant robot.
Al Murray's "Please" and "Thank you" in the taxi were so natural. He's been consistently polite and respectful despite being brash and brusque in other ways.
I might be crazy..but at 3:06 - 3:09 I SWEAR I can hear Noel Fielding laughing
Pretty sure I heard Jimmy Carr's cackle at some point in the series.
"Soft delicate hands"
If I had a nickel for every time a task master competitor brought in a panini sticker book, I'd have two nickels, which isn't a lot but it's still weird that it happened twice.
The old doctor is really nice
Technically, Rob asked the doctor to mime what he did in his job, and he did, which is against the rules coz he can only answer by shaking or nodding his head. He used his hand.
i just said the same thing! also, the doctor is supposed to lie so he broke two rules. GIVE PAUL HIS POINT
"You already do."
Well, Al's right. Greg did play a Doctor Who monster (King Hydroflax) a year before this aired.
Lovely to see that Alex also got the tree wizard powers.
INSANE WINKING GAY MAGICIAN
CALL ME NOTHING Except THIS FROM NOW ON
I love how Greg Davies actually is a doctor who monster
They should've just asked "Does the first letter of your job title land between a and m" then m and z, then narrowed it down more, and basically played binary search hangman
wouldn't that suck all the fun out of the task?
That's what Richard Osman did in his talking to a Swede task
@@irondasgr Sometimes you need to brute force your way to a win.
Comedy be damned.
And here was me thinking it was Anaesthesiologist.
North American vs British I think
can't believe paul didn't share that the chinese health balls make noise when you clink them around together!! i loved playing with those as a kid (unless those are a different thing, but even the box looks familiar)
