@@MinekEzQM Ed Gamble did mention on the podcast that he'd also been searching for ducks for CoC II. But Alex says "it was years ago" so my low stake conspiracy is that it's been done more than twice
Shoutout to the editors, they're really the glue that holds everything together. Even with all these fantastic comedians it can't be easy to turn 100 minutes of duck searching into a funny and snappy 13 minute video. And to do it consistently across the series no less.
@@kittysplodeyou possibly might be a broken human being - not only didn’t you find any of this funny, but for some reason you’re watching these videos which are all funny in similar ways yet you don’t find them funny…
This might just be my favourite task of all 14 series so far. It's so simple and yet it has everything that makes TM great - creativity, rage, enthusiasm, surprise, madness, naked Alex, and Chris Ramsey saying "ducks".
So if I'm counting right all 10 (+1) ducks were found by different contestants: 1. sticker on the confusing little box (+ red herring inside) 2. UV ink on the task 3. inside the breaker box 4. lighting strip on a wall 5. sticker under the shoe 6. inside alex's mug 7. in the table leg 8. in the hen 9. sticker under the flooring 10. "canard" painted on a ceiling beam 10 + 1. UV paint on a wall
One of the all time best Taskmaster tasks. My favorite thing is that there seems to be a direct correlation between how well they did and how much they hated the task.
Loved this task. And the stray duck. Was not sure if all 10 ducks were found so I made a list: Stickers 1 - 1:36 on the puzzle box (+red herring) 2 - (4:14) 10:00 underside shoe 3 - 11:30 underneath flooring Rubber ducks 4 - 4:11 inside table leg 5 - 10:10 in tea cup 6 - 6:43 in electrical box Others 7 - 5:55 led wall light (to be switched on) 8 - 7:16 canard on ceiling (writing) 9 - 8:01 on Task with UV (UV light beside floor pannel) 10 - 4:45 inside chicken (speaker) +1 STRAYDUCK - 11:19 UV on wall
Just realised that Phil Wang's "confusing little box" actually has 3 "ducks"... the word duck, the picture of a duck and the phrase "no duck" contains a duck.
The two phrases are just one, the phrase "ducks" is just "no ducks" with tape over "no". You can see that reasonably clearly at 2:15. And it's obviously telling you this is *not* one of the ducks.
Chris Ramsey seems to be having the most fun in these. the shows where they review the tasks and get graded he is having just the best time. Sarah Millican is like that in series 14.
Chris Ramsey was one of the most consistently and sincerely joyous contestants there've been on Taskmaster. He's just genuinely amused by most everything & in any given moment that he's not, he eventually comes round to it LOL!
"people must have ridden you" I saw an interview with Greg where someone had written on a forum that they'd ride him "like a rabid dog through hell" or something similar
Def one of my favorite groups AND tasks ❤ 🦆So many individual moments just sort of encapsulate TM all on their own 😂 Such as: Judi: *casually takes out duck from Alex's teacup* "Honestly, where are you from?" Alex: "West Sussex" Judi: "No"
"Where are you from" is the second best compliment Alex ever received in my opinion. Right timing, perfect tone an mimics. My favorite is still Katherine Ryan saying "Oh I understand perfectly well. You're a madman" s2 ep3 "See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil" task.
I sincerely mean this… you’ve helped me through the darkest time of my life… the loss of my 4 children in a car accident. This show is my absolute go to for happiness! Please don’t ever stop. Thank you to Alex for creating this masterpiece.
That is an utterly horrifying situation to have to go through, truly, truly abhorrent. I just can't imagine it. I hope you manage to hold onto whatever purposes you find, please keep in contact with those around you and don't shut yourself away even if it you feel guilty doing so, you are allowed happiness and you are allowed for things to get better. You have my sincerest condolences.
This is one of the task me and my boyfriend laughed pretty much all the way through. It's very chaotic. My favorite part is the stray duck and Greg saying "a bonus duck!"
While i love contestants finding loopholes or doing tasks exceptionally well so they only need a fraction of the time to complete, Chris' contribution is amazing. He's so joyful and energetic.
@@BlairdBlaird just geordie 😂😂😂 yeah I was thinking Chris might be the most sane one out of the 5…but that’s not really hard to achieve especially with Bridget there!!
In fact it just occurred to me that in COC 2 it's highly likely that the task that replaced this one was Get the Duck In The Pond. Man Eds's disaster could have been saved if someone did really shit in this one on COC...

I'd have made a duckface and quacked, and waggled around, and made Alex do the same. 2 bonus ducks. If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, and sounds like a duck, it is a duck; duck-typing 101
00:08 - 00:18 Correct. And this is Taskmaster. And you are not suspicious already? :D Btw one of my favorite tasks. They found 11 :D And destroyed the lab. And the studio commentary also hilarious.
The task reads: "Find all 10 ducks. You must stay in the lab. Fastest Wins. You have a maximum of 20 minutes. Your time started when you entered the lab." But, don't they need to leave the lab in order to get the hens??
From what I can gather, the lab is the small curtained room, and the room beyond the curtain but not beyond the door out of the room, I think the lab is split into two sections (sort of how some places have a separate hall for disinfecting before entering)
The stray duck is still one of my favorite things
But what was the task where it was left there from?
@@MinekEzQM Ed Gamble did mention on the podcast that he'd also been searching for ducks for CoC II. But Alex says "it was years ago" so my low stake conspiracy is that it's been done more than twice

The literal red herring was fantastic, 10/10
The little 'yay' from the studio audience at 1:31 is everything to me
This might just be my favourite task of all 14 series so far. It's so simple and yet it has everything that makes TM great - creativity, rage, enthusiasm, surprise, madness, naked Alex, and Chris Ramsey saying "ducks".
Right?! I was so invested 😂
So if I'm counting right all 10 (+1) ducks were found by different contestants:
1. sticker on the confusing little box (+ red herring inside)
2. UV ink on the task
3. inside the breaker box
4. lighting strip on a wall
5. sticker under the shoe
6. inside alex's mug
7. in the table leg
8. in the hen
9. sticker under the flooring
10. "canard" painted on a ceiling beam
10 + 1. UV paint on a wall
I would also argue that ripping off "no" from "no duck" label would be counted
@@kezzyhkoI think Greg might have allowed it, if anyone had tried. But it definitely wasn’t one of the official ducks.
@kezzyhko the "duck" label above it also didn't count
The word duck was printed in the task instructions.
For some reason the bit that was funniest to me was
Judi: Honestly where are you from?
Alex: West Sussex
Judi: No.
Judi's face in the dark has great potential for use in memes.
Already existing
Greg killed me off with the “I thought in father ted you played a character” 😆
God that show. I hear youre a racist mow father
Father Ted: "Come on, Dougal, find the 10 ducks in this room"
Father Dougal: "Ah, sorry Ted, the best I can do is 3 hens"
One of the all time best Taskmaster tasks.
My favorite thing is that there seems to be a direct correlation between how well they did and how much they hated the task.
Loved this task. And the stray duck.
Was not sure if all 10 ducks were found so I made a list:
Stickers
1 - 1:36 on the puzzle box (+red herring)
2 - (4:14) 10:00 underside shoe
3 - 11:30 underneath flooring
Rubber ducks
4 - 4:11 inside table leg
5 - 10:10 in tea cup
6 - 6:43 in electrical box
Others
7 - 5:55 led wall light (to be switched on)

9 - 8:01 on Task with UV (UV light beside floor pannel)

Alex: "What's in it for me?"
Judy: "I will let you live... "
Every woman, ever.
I would love for Alex to design an escape room. There could be a TV with him on it, "All the information is on the task!"
Constantly having to replace that TV might not prove cost effective,

"You're steering me with your thighs" is so poetic...
Especially when they're wrapped around your head.

IS THERE A DUCK ON MY FACE?
Roommate: "We need to talk about the ducks."
God I love this show, 1 minute in and I'm already laughing
"god almighty give me strength" 😂

There was something unsettling in seeing the chicken blink during Ardal's turn
I didn’t notice it in the episode, but it’s funny to me now.

Please do a Taskmaster fan favorite/redemption series where contestants that did not win but were well liked are voted upon by fans and can compete again. Maximum one person from a series.
For example, the lineup is:
James Acaster

Asim Chaudhry
Please consider this!
Let's see how many more tasks can drive Nish so crazy that he involuntarily shouts, "I hate this show!!!"
That looks like Phil Wang's box that Greg broke.
So you need to know English, Spanish, French, and Swedish to be able to excel at Task Master
I see that Phil Wang's infamous box made a return.
I can't believe they didn't give extra points for finding the red Herring
This was glorious. I have experienced great joy.
New series tomorrow woooooo
Brilliant task. So simple, yet have it all.
This is one of my favorite tasks ever on this show.
How the hell do you not just tearing everything apart? It's not like this is the first ever episode of the show.
Asking "is this your tea" as you reach into it is hilarious
some of those shots, looked straight out of a wes anderson film
Chris' existential horror at discovering a duck on his shoe is iconic
I love how Ardal is so like Dougal. Like I thought Dougal's whole personality was an act, but obviously not!
This is my favorite lineup hands down
I think this is the best task in the history of the entire show.
*What color is he?*
I laughed at that more than I'm proud to admit.
"Are there ducks on the bottom of my AAHHHHHHH!!!!!! Two ducks!"
Are those boxes the same type Phil wang got Greg?
This is a hilarious and awesome task! I’d love to see the version from the Champions of Champions episode!
Did that chicken wink at anyone else or was it just me? 3:40
Just you :)
That looked incredibly fun!
I'd have made a duckface and quacked, and waggled around, and made Alex do the same. 2 bonus ducks.
If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, and sounds like a duck, it is a duck; duck-typing 101
The hen winking on Ardels had me so spun out 😂
I can't believe nobody argued about the duck/not duck stickers on the red herring box also counting!
If writing counts then the word "ducks" on the task itself should also count.
Easily one of my favorites ever. LMFAO
Very funny task, and loved the callbacks to other series.
Judy has the best laugh.
I literally just realised why that bloody thing was red. Thanks.
I rewatched this just for the red Herring bit
That task was fu-can'ard.
I would love to see where all 10 ducks were! The way it’s edited, it’s hard to tell.
I really liked ducks when I was a kid. Had a mug that had a duck in the bottom of it that was attached.
Genuinely expected a duck shaved into Alex's chest hair or a temp tattoo.

WHen he finds the duck under his shoe and screams I lost it.
No idea what her name is but the second ladys outfit was pretty cool it was kinda like the exorcist cosplay
Bridget Christie
Anyone have a link to the old duck task?
3:40 it blinked!!!!
Bridget is fabulous!
Is there a duck on my face?
Which series is this from again? I live in Australia and we don’t have access to all of the English episodes.
which task was the stray duck from?
does anyone know the task that the extra duck was put there for?
guess I've found my favourite team to watch (13)
Anyone else want to watch it again just to see where all the ducks were.
Is there a link to the original task for the stray duck?
Genuine question is the lady in the hat related to Sarah Pascoe? They sound alike I had to look twice to make sure it wasn’t her
So if they gave judi a point for a duck that they didnt put there for this task, could the contestants have just drawn 10 ducks?
Sounds like a good loophole, but the contestants couldn’t leave a lab so unless they happened to carry a pen, probably wouldn’t work
Frankie Boyle would have a passionate argument that it counts
