The bit where it cuts to Ivo, with his head in his hands, followed by a brief pause, before Frankie slowly turns towards him, and says “You just couldn’t shut the fuck up, could you Ivo”, is pure comedy gold; the comic timing is the very the personification of perfection- like something you might see in some classic sitcom. This was an amazing series, with a seriously fantastic cast.
The chemistry of this group is so great. Even when they're legitimately arguing, rather than getting annoyed I want to hear them continue. They feel like a semi-dysfunctional family. Also I am in love with Mae.
@@Hexen_Wulf Have you seen his New World Order show? His more tranquil, less aggressive nature reminds me of his presentation there. That show also has quite a few more honest moments where he drops his more angry stage persona, and I notice that most of the comedians when they come on Taskmaster tend not to play their stage persona, so it doesn't surprise me that he was calmer here.
@@Hexen_Wulf I think you might not know him too well. Here he doesn't have to play a persona, he's just being him. In his standups and elsewhere he usually is completely different.
Now imagine the raw footage of the handcuff task - as they say was heavily edited in his favor. Yes, he was the new Ed Gamble. I generally don't like these type of people, on the other side, I admit the variety of the cast needs a "competition over anything" personality. It would be boring with 5 gentlepeople.
I think Greg Davies, outside of his role as the Taskmaster, actually has the exact sense of humour as Mae Martin. They can probably just banter, bouncing sentences ad absurdum.
Sadly, because the amount of additional banter time required to lead up to that joke being as awesome as it was would be too much. Even an extra 30 or 40 seconds would require taking that time out somewhere else and, for that episode, where else could you pull from?
There are fans who love the show for the cats and their chemistry. I fell in love with TM because of the tasks. If they meet the right cast, that's just a bonus. E.g. See how the "Eat the Grape" is almost half entertaining without David Correos, or how "Score 11 points" were ruined by a glasses man. But the tasks are still brilliant. This series' tasks were mediocre to my taste. And the great cast couldn't really elevate it. The camera crew and the editing was 100% as always, though. Mae finding the extra pineapples was a brilliant moment and well delivered to the screen.
My dad and i never liked the same things then taskmaster started. Every week. Without fail, we would sit and watch it together. When he was seriously ill with leukaemia, i recorded them for him to watch with me when he was better, and thats just what we did. 4 years on, he got secondary cancer and was always tired. He couldn't keep his eyes open for more than 2 mins. Although i continued recording them, it became clear he would never watch them again. His leukaemia came back and he got sepsis and died. I deleted all the recordings so ive missed a lot but im really enjoying what you put out on youtube and im hoping to start watching the ones on TV
@alleeum aw, thank you. Never expected people to read my comment. He died 2 years ago, 7th June, this coming year, so yes, I've missed a lot of taskmaster
I'm so sorry for your loss. My own dad and I used to watch Jeopardy together every weekday (when Alex Trebek hosted), and it was one of the very few common interests we shared before he passed. If you haven't yet watched Greg Davies' stand-up special You Magnificent Beast, it ends with a very funny and touching tribute to his own father who passed after a long illness❤
@@homagetogorto If there is any artistic and comedic justice in the world, he will be made fully animatronic and will occasionally be glimpsed wandering about in the background of future series.
Thank you for this. I was just checking the comments to see if anyone else asked about the egg task since I didn't remember it from the show and I could swear I watched every episode of this series. Now I know to go back over episode 6, see what I'm missing
Always a brilliant show but this line up was close to perfect. Frankie and Ivo evolved into a wonderful double act, Kiell was sublime as he challenged everything, Jenny was as you would expect - daft as a brush but trying so hard. I was not aware of Mae before this but they are really good - funny and competitive.
man after all of this imagine getting Prof Brian Cox as a new year's treat guest Also Frankie giggling like a hamster/chipmunk at 6:48 was quite a surprise
This whole series, I thought Mae was just this innocent and gleeful person who never once made a sexual joke or even acknowledged innuendos Turns out they were just too horny and TM had to cut it all out
I'm not sure why Ivo finding the egg sheller was cut? It's very short and they normally love showing tricks in the show. The pineapple argument was the best thing ever
Yet another brilliantly curated group of people! The newly discovered treasures of the season for me were Jenny Eclair and Frankie. They just made me howl over and over again !
Even more so now that he’ll be appearing instead of Mae in CoC. It’s a shame we won’t get to see more of Mae’s super competitiveness but there’s no bad options from this cast. 😎
I wish all of the Brian Cox conversation was included on the show coz it had so much content!! OMG Pineapple gate! With the brilliant puppet scene you realise how awesome the editing is on this show
1:00 this whole segment really shows Ivo’s posh upbringing, as did the bingo segment where he had to talk to someone with a specific name and he got caught in a conversation he couldn’t cut short because it would be impolite
it's so funny to me that the pineapple argument would've been over as soon as someone said "they drew the pineapples, they didn't fetch it" instead they gave us a gem
Such a fun series, really wanted Ivo to win it all in the end, love his sense of humour and him n Frankie were brilliant as a team. They were all excellent though to be fair!
Greg getting that puppet is like seeing someone who's not sure if they want a dog or not being given a puppy as a gift and then instantly falling in love with it
Watching the extended argument makes me wonder if Jenny would have won the jelly task if she'd just found a container that made contact with the jelly.
I was thinking that if a contestant just placed their hand on the jelly, would that count? Because they weigh however much they way, and they are on top of (and on) the jelly. Nowhere does it say that the jelly has to support the full weight of what's on top of it, so I wonder if that would be an accepted workaround or if Alex and the crew would object and insist on doing the task in the spirit of the instructions.
I loved this season of the show, never laughed so hard, will be missed, what an incredibly fun and creative cast, these moments are some of the best, but there were so many.... congratulations
One of my favourite things about when they release outtakes is that when you're watching the show it all makes sense, but out of context everything sounds like absolute nonsense - and I think that's delightful (context, I'm up to the pineapple/banana debate)
@@catsdogsandlego10000Mae said that it says "I'm so full of hate!", but I totally understand your confusion because before they clarified that, I thought the doll was saying "I'm so bulky!"
Wish they'd keep this in and just release another longer 'Uncut' version. You know, like they did with 8 out of 10 Cats when they released a normal 30 min version and later that week a 50 min one
trust me I do as well, but it's A LOT harder to do with something like TM than more traditional panel shows like 8oo10C or QI. there's a great interview with lead editor Rebecca Bowker elsewhere on youtube, and one of the many things talked about is that kind of distinction.
@@kevinw712 I guess, but most of these seemed like bits cut for time. And seeing how last series' outtakes even had more context about Ardal's table-tennis bat, I think they'd improve it
They usually don't so they can reuse them later on, but they have released one a few months ago of three different series casts doing a tie-break and it is very interesting and weird seeing all of them do the same task
04:51 I'm only mentioning this because it is the sort of observation Alex would make: inflammable means the same as flammable; non-flammable is the correct word.
Greg saying "thats not a secret, im very proud of him." was one of the most threatening and chilling things ive ever heard. Perfect
“Are you on top of your own show, or are you just sitting on a chair, near it?” Savage burn, Ivo. Pity it wound up on the editor’s floor.
I guess it was totally at odds with the persona put across on the show. But he's a canny lad ( love the father - son relationship with Frankie!
I'm so glad that we still got to see it because wow, that might have been Ivos greatest line in the whole series. :D
God bless Ivo 💘
I burst out laughing at his comment 😂
7:24
this cast was about 5 seconds away from recreating the hunger games at all times 10/10 what a series
"It started out as Hogwarts, now it's Lord of the Flies"
I haven't laughed this hard since series 12. This group is definitely in my top 5 favorite TM casts.
Worst season so far
my favorite season yet
@@randomdude189Yeah, we all have our least favourites. Mine’s series 10, but I’ve seen it at the top of a lot of lists
Ivo's meek, polite rage is absolutely delicious
This is the perfect description for Ivo
reminds me of that one time Joe Thomas lost it in the most tame way possible
The bit where it cuts to Ivo, with his head in his hands, followed by a brief pause, before Frankie slowly turns towards him, and says “You just couldn’t shut the fuck up, could you Ivo”, is pure comedy gold; the comic timing is the very the personification of perfection- like something you might see in some classic sitcom.
This was an amazing series, with a seriously fantastic cast.
Frankie and Ivo really did have a classic sitcom vibe going on a lot of the time
The chemistry of this group is so great. Even when they're legitimately arguing, rather than getting annoyed I want to hear them continue. They feel like a semi-dysfunctional family.
Also I am in love with Mae.
I love Mae and Greg just continuing to talk about the puppet as the others complain
I can't believe they're not showing us the double Greg cradle!
Mae is disgusting
I think Mae is adorable and would totally enjoy a Double Cradle.
“We’re just a waste of hired Beatles suits, now…” 😂😂
Brava, Jenny.
Am I the only one who can't seem to get past the first 30 seconds of this video..? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I was in the studio for the pineapple discussion, and the tension was SO real lol
Frankie is very intelligent, he makes an intelligent argument over a totally inconsequential subject.
@@nigeljames6017 itwas probably the argument Kiell made.
@@toneluy8343 I think a comment before mine was removed and I was responding to it !
That "hey hey heeey" to stop frankie was perfect 😄
Did anyone point out that pineapples are from south America not Africa?
Love Frankie & Ivo's relationship throughout the series 😂
and Mae and Kiell's rivalry!
Father/son full circle.
"We can't do 'take it, bitch' in episode one, Frankie" 😂
Ivo clearly thinks very highly of Frankie. He’s always looking for approval from Frankie haha
A surprising relationship...
I would watch a supercut of every single Taskmaster series, everything that was filmed, outtakes and all.
That would be amazing.
Taskmaster XL. I agree. That would be a thing?
100%
Not only would I watch it, I would PAY to watch it (i.e. buy the DVD box set if that's still a thing, I'm getting old)
I'd like a picture in picture edit where you can see all the reactions in the studio as it's happening
This whole cast was ready to fight each other at all times and I love it 😂
I would never in a million years have suggested that Frankie would be the calm, rational arguer.
@@Hexen_Wulf Have you seen his New World Order show? His more tranquil, less aggressive nature reminds me of his presentation there.

PVP was enabled at all times, they didn't just want to win, they wanted everyone else to lose 😭
Kiell coming in with the reparations argument sent me over the edge 😂😂😂
I laughed so much at that!
Yeah. All that buildup really was worth it
he nailed that jibe with perfect timing. it should have made it to the airing
Fantastically brilliant.
Incredible bit.
Frankie's willingness to argue any point has made this series so god damn good!
I just listened to the end of "Stayin Alive" and Greg's scream is actually bang on key, right note and everything 😮
I just did and yeah
Kiell's reactions were the highlight of the whole series. Hilarious to see the outtakes took them even further. XD
Now imagine the raw footage of the handcuff task - as they say was heavily edited in his favor.
Yes, he was the new Ed Gamble. I generally don't like these type of people, on the other side, I admit the variety of the cast needs a "competition over anything" personality. It would be boring with 5 gentlepeople.
@@MinekEzQM I think Kiell was irritable in a funny way and the team seemed to genuinely like each other. Not like Ian Stirling and Lou Sanders lmao.
Ed puts on a show. Kiell was genuinely annoyed but his timing on how he conveys his annoyance is great comedy
The Brian Cox outtake is great, I love Frankie
I could literally watch Frankie do impressions all day
I absolutely loved this group. Just seeing how much they riffed off each other in these outtakes shows how well they all worked together.
The cast are simultaneously ready to fight or give each other pats on the back during the entire duration lmao
Frankie being an unstoppable agent of chaos was everything I hoped he'd be
I think Greg Davies, outside of his role as the Taskmaster, actually has the exact sense of humour as Mae Martin. They can probably just banter, bouncing sentences ad absurdum.
"Because of the nature of language, man!" Is one of the best lines of any season. Period!
I really really hope that Mae Martin's lovely dad gets to see the outtake of Greg so thoroughly enjoying his puppet
She ruined this season
Mae was so good on the prize tasks lmao, their awkward delivery works so well
why @@randomdude189
If he even actually built it.
“Are you in top of your own show or are you sitting on a chair near it?”
WHY DID THEY CUT IT?
because it undermines the authority of the Taskmaster
Sadly, because the amount of additional banter time required to lead up to that joke being as awesome as it was would be too much. Even an extra 30 or 40 seconds would require taking that time out somewhere else and, for that episode, where else could you pull from?
So that it would end up on the "editor's floor" and make the joke 10x truer and 10x funnier?
Seriously, the best jokes from this seasons were in the outtakes
Kayfabe
It's barely a secret, but admitting or acknowledging it in the show makes the format and vibe fall apart
This was probrolly one of the best seasons. A wonderful cast with wonderful complementary chemistry.
There are fans who love the show for the cats and their chemistry. I fell in love with TM because of the tasks. If they meet the right cast, that's just a bonus. E.g.

A great cast... and Mae Martin
“Who’s in charge here?”
“I think Frankie.”
That was perfect
I had to pause to listen to the end of Stayin' Alive. Greg is not wrong.

Same, I immediately went over there to see if Greg was exaggerating; nope!
Yeah when he said it I was like he's so right (I have heard the end before lool)
13:53 is the moment of the season for me. Franky just saying what we all thought out loud, and in a way to really twist the knife. Absolutely amazing
They might have been the most competitive cast they have had so far. The longer the season went on the funnier it became.
I LOVE how much this cast interacted and fought eachother at every opportunity. 😂

this just proves how essential and award-worthy editors are.
Especially when the job turns into Sophie's Choice like with Taskmaster.
So glad there was more content with the puppet! I was shocked at how quickly Greg gave it back in the episode!!
The chair is on top of the carpet. Greg is on the chair. Through the transitive property, Greg is on top of the carpet.
Yes, but is he on top of his own show?
He is above the carpet
Frankie trying to do a Brian Cox impression had me crying. 😂😂
Trying to? TRYING TO? Bloody well succeeding, I'd say 😅
man after all of this imagine getting Prof Brian Cox as a new year's treat guest

I love these so much! Sometimes the best stuff gets cut. I wish they’d do an XL version like QI.
I wish they would post videos of the show uncut. I would love to see all the behind the scenes stuff.
Never was a cast so ready to kill each other while Jenny vibed in the background
The most enviable and coveted job: taskmaster reel editor... there's pure gold on that editor's floor

Turns out they were just too horny and TM had to cut it all out
the cradling greg bit made me very um, alert let's say, they're quite the catch and so charming and funny
Greg Davies doing a Barry Gibb-impression is just what I needed in life
“Those pineapples were probably stolen from my ancestors” lmao 😂
19mins of outtakes. Probrolly the best part of my day 😂

I hadn't fully gotten into this series yet - and then there was the pineapple discussion. Legendary stuff and why we love TM.
it's so funny to me that the pineapple argument would've been over as soon as someone said "they drew the pineapples, they didn't fetch it" instead they gave us a gem

Or over.

Watching the extended argument makes me wonder if Jenny would have won the jelly task if she'd just found a container that made contact with the jelly.

The jelly mould? 🤔
Frankie still would have won with his heat death of the universe
I believe she did actually find the mould which was really annoying to me cause I feel like that's a no brainer
This show doesn't need outtakes. It needs 45 mins more run time per episode and all the outtakes in the actual episodes.
This was such a fun season!
We need fully unedited studio fights! Its so fun
I didn't think S12 could be replaced as my favourite but turns out I was wrong. Favourite season and favourite group of contestants!
Honestly could rewatch Greg mimicking Barry Gibbs vocals on staying alive. 😂😂😂😂
I loved this season of the show, never laughed so hard, will be missed, what an incredibly fun and creative cast, these moments are some of the best, but there were so many.... congratulations
Such a great series this was. Just a great mix and worked so well
These might be the best outtakes yet. Each episode must have filmed for like 6 hours
One of my favourite things about when they release outtakes is that when you're watching the show it all makes sense, but out of context everything sounds like absolute nonsense - and I think that's delightful (context, I'm up to the pineapple/banana debate)
I loooove these outtakes!! 😂
What better way to start the day than 20 minutes of perfectly funny skullfuckery.
i hope somewhere out there Mae's dad has a Little little Alex Horne to match
i want the horne puppet to monotonely say: everything you need is on the task
These outtakes really help fill in the gaps of the story, no wonder Ivo's whackamole was scored so low!
my favourite outtakes are always when alex or greg mess up lmao
