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.

I hope Fred's going to be on this
E
British version is better
as a swede, i can unfortunately say i have only ever seen him on British taskmaster
there is an icelandic fred though, filling the same function
To maintain balance in the universe it has to be Fred the Brit
A moment of silence for the intern who had to count all of the popped bubbles. 😔
People have had a lot negative to say here about various parts of the show, but one thing I do definitely like is the big desk and little desk. It's not as grand as the big chair and little chair, but I think I prefer it.
I love that no matter the language, a genuine laugh like that is infectious.
Kodjo is as useful at talking with Trösti as Joe Wilkinson is at talking with Fred the Swede.
The affluence of Sweden really shines through when you see the Swedish Taskmasters house and shed. hahaha
If you're down in the comments thinking this series is awful, I think I know why, but I believe that you might be wrong in thinking so...
The Swedish version of Taskmaster was produced in 2017 during the airing of Taskmaster season 3. It was the first successful international adaptation, and the second ever made after the Dutch version 'Het Grootste Licht' which never got renewed. This means that this show was produced on the back of only the two first seasons of Taskmaster, and before any idea of "other countries versions of Taskmaster" were established (which came first in 2018 with the Danish, US, and Spanish versions). Now you may believe that I'm about to write something in the style of "it was early, so give it a break", but that's not where I'm heading...
This show was produced before the successful *format* of 'Taskmaster' existed, so the Swedish version did what international adaptations always have done, it copied the game show and not the format. 'Bäst i Test' was never Sweden's version of Taskmaster, and it was never supposed to be. It was produced as a secondary show with the same game plot, or USP, as Taskmaster, which is why it did so many things differently to the original Taskmaster franchise. If we think of 'Stormester', 'Taskmaster US', 'Dicho Y Hecho', 'Kongen befaler', 'Suurmestari', 'Taskmaster NZ', and so on, as the children of the original Taskmaster, 'Bäst i Test' and 'Het Grootste Licht' would be its younger siblings. Now, Bäst i Test has produced 6 seasons, the most outside UK, followed by Stormester's 5 seasons (which first season was produced after Taskmaster's 5 seasons and CoC had aired), and continues to grow more and more different to the original. Which to me is actually slightly more exciting than the "best copy"! I think a lot of people would be quite chocked at just how much this "version" have influenced the original.
Don't get me wrong, I have followed both seasons from early on as I am Swedish myself, and I do prefer the original Taskmaster over Bäst i Test. Greg is light-years ahead of Babben, I do like both of the different styles which I think is tailored best to their respective countries, I prefer the British unhinged humour over the somewhat PC Swedish humour, but I absolutely love David's character even though the character of Alex also is just absolutely fantastic!
It's of course completely okay to dislike the show, but just be sure that you don't dislike the show because it's a terrible replica of Taskmaster, because it actually never sought out to be just that.
As a Dutch person I was shocked to read in your comment that a Dutch version exist, only to then find out that is actually a Belgian series. Sure it is in the Dutch language but it is not Dutch! That means there is still hope for an actual Dutch version somewhere along the line 🎉 although that might also end up being horrible of course, we'll see.
I don't understand what you mean that it was produced after the first two seasons of Taskmaster but before the Taskmaster format existed. The format didn't change between seasons 2 and 3.
@@KaiLucasZachary A single show is a concept. Format means that multiple different shows are doing the same thing. What they have in common is the format; what they don't have in common isn't part of the format but their individuality. With just a single show existing, no matter how many episodes it had, there's no way yet of telling what is part of the format and what is just this implementation's personality.
For example, with just Taskmaster UK, we couldn't say if the red-upholstered golden throne was part of the format or just the UK version's personal touch. Now, we know that the red upholstery is optional, but the gilded throne is part of the format. Same goes for the typewriter and wax seal---those have become part of the format, but could have been marks of the UK show with others using e.g. ticker tape delivered as a telegram.
I think it's pretty refreshing to be able to watch taskmaster but something that is different to the original
My favorite way to learn Swedish.
There is something classy about an assistant with a stopwatch.
Me, living in Southern California... watching someone start a giant fire in the middle of a ground full of dead leaves....
Am I the only one that actually liked it, lol? I mean, sure, it took some getting used to, but the contestants are great and the task attempts funny. David plays his part so well!
The atmospheric scenery has everything: hills, trees, tree roots, boulders, yellow leaves... Love it.
Taskmaster Autumn
When they read the bathtub task, I immediately thought of "the passion of Tim."
Hugs the uploader!!
You have no clue how hard these episodes are to find (legally).
Hmmm... Look closely at uploader's profile. I think you are into a bit of surprise.
I do appreciate the cheesiness of the prize task prizes reveal.
Oh hey, nice to see a female Taskmaster!
if there's one thing i like to do with bubble wrap, it's puncturing it
Hmm... I'm a bit torn. The tasks are fun and I actually don't mind the differences in format. At the same time, the fact that keep doing stuff like only randomly giving us the actual times in the various timed tasks - and usually not for all the contestants - makes it all feel poorly produced and poorly edited 😐
HAH, jag tyckte Bianca sade "voi vittu", och visst - sverigefinsk!
First. BOSH.
I love how they used the collection of prizes to get rid of unwanted things over the course of the show
I lost it at fight club. Lol
Love this! For some reason I can't stand Taskmaster NZ. Swedish Taskmaster is everything I love about the show. ❤
What sorcery is this? Usually I almost fully understand swedish as a norwegian, but this is nothing but gibberish.
Yes, I also find it impossible to understand; but I learned Swedish from the Muppet Show.
I find it interesting that Swedish pronounces "yogurt" with the "yo" sound of "yoyo" the way America does as opposed to "yah-gurt" like Britain does. Which pronunciation is closer to where the word originally came from?
The word is originally Turkish, and in Turkish it sounds pretty much like yort (rhyming with short but almost 2 syllables like yo-rt that flows together with no stop in the middle - yowert but more yoert, lol) but spelled yoğurt. So the British just found a foreign word and changed the pronunciation to their liking.
Oddly, I've heard the word yogurt in several languages, and so many are very similar in spelling. And those who have that similar spelling in a way that resembles 'yogurt', all of those languages, from Spanish to Japanese to Russian, all have the yoyo sounding yogurt. As far as I can tell, it's only the British with the yahgurt.
Casual smoking,,... Wow. Wait, chalk, not cigarettes.
Oh Sweden of course did it again. The Taskmaster is not a man, it's a woman. I wonder why they ddn't change the title to Taskmastress then... How avant-guard from Sweden (again!). Barf.
Why are they so not bright in the task with the Icelander? What was the problem in 1.calling an icelander you know 2. use the google translate 3. make him draw the answers ecc.? And there are not cool solutions with tha bathtub ecc. as in the original one or the DAnish\Norwegian ones.. And again, like in the US version, no chemistry between the hosts, neither there is in the NZ version..The Danish\Norwegian ones and the original one are the best IMHO
Are you SOBs gon a make me learn a different language
F'in nailed it.
does the special guest guy look quite a bit like George Clooney?
I can’t believe I’m saying this but, I’m not sure if I’ll watch the second episode.
Nämen!!!! Taskmaster på Svenska????
I don't speak a lick of Swedish but the "taskmaster" has really misunderstood Greg's behaviour in the UK series.
They just gave it their own twist. Nice people; I've grown fond of them.
Also remember that British comedy often doesn't translate to other languages and cultures.
@@erifetim As true as that is, it feels like there's a distinct lack of comedy altogether in this rendition. Comedy is subjective, but it's just not what people are expecting if they've worked their way through all the UK series and NZ as well. It's quite a jarring change.
@@erifetim it's not a sentence translation that is something about a content transfer. It's about a role. A world class play is recongnized as such for its rigid parts in it. You can't have an Amlet like you wish in India or Korea just because... The Amlet role is the Amlet role.
For anyone worried about giving this version of Taskmaster a try because it's based in a PC culture country and has a female taskmaster (the ultimate combination for unfunny) I would like to reassure you that the woman taskmaster is pretty good - she doesn't take up as much presence as say Greg, and doesn't suck all the fun out of the room like Jeremy Wells does, her playing a more subdued role and not being ultimate judge over deciding points leaves more room for the comedians to showcase themselves and their personalities which is really the best outcome possible.
That said, you may still not enjoy it, it is very *different* from UK Taskmaster, so you may like it even more, or much less. I just wanted to save someone else the hour of watching if they weren't sure what they were in for.
Wow this one is terrible
Oh, no. No, no, no, no, no. I watched the entire episode and kept hoping I'd like it even a little bit. But, of all the different editions of Taskmaster, this one is by far the weakest. Best in Task sucks. (It's not the contestants' fault.)
@Guttae I'm an American and I didn't even realize there was an American version. I won't bother with it. I'm learning Swedish, so I enjoy watching these... none can top the British one, of course!
@Guttae I will say that's quite an interesting combo! I think TM is just so incredibly British that it doesn't translate well to other places.
Wtf is this format? Looks more like a boring talkshow
Can they all speak English?
Babben is a terrible Greg, turn it off before it's too late
If you're watching this only for the behaviour of the TM, then you've grossly misunderstood this franchise. I'm not disagreeing with your first phrase, but the task attempts are still fun/funny.
@@EK-lp3ti The task attempts can still be funny, but non-existent banter brings the entire show down in quality drastically
She is quite authoritarian, and she makes fun of the contestants. How more of a Greg can a person be?
She’s not a person, every single line she says is written by someone else and she is just reading off a script, kinda like Greg in s1 and s2. What makes Greg different even in those seasons was his ability to have conversations with contestants and build relationships with them. Babben never asks follow up questions or make funny observations, every task goes like this:
Babben: ”LET’S SEE THE TASK, SHOW ME CONTESTANT 2 AND CONTESTANT 5”
*attempt plays*
*Babben says ”””funny””” line written by someone else*
*Contestant 1 says something improvised*
*Babben says ”””funny””” line written by someone else*
*Contestant 2 says something improvised*
Babben: ”HA HA, NOW SHOW ME THE OTHER CONTESTANTS”
She either can’t make interesting conversation, thinks she has to follow her script or the producers tell her to follow the script. Either way it makes it shit. Greg is incredible as he makes you genuinely feel like he’s interested in the people and it shows in how he likes to mention small details in the contestants’ behaviour. In contrast, Babben only comments on the obvious thing like she’s talking to kids ”I GUESS THE WHEELBARROW WASNT SUCH A SMART IDEA, HUH?”.
That’s why it brings down the entire show, when it’s JUST about the tasks it’s not as fun, and the job of the Greg is to make us feel like any of it matters. Babben is just there to be a cardboard cutout.
Sorry for the long message
@@TrissTheFirst you just pointed out that even the contestants bring value to the show in the studio, so it's not JUST about the tasks, however, the only issue with this show based on your own statements IS JUST the TM. I already said I don't disagree that Babben isn't great in the role, but neither is Jeremy Wells and TMNZ is top quality. He's barely better than Babben, but I'll admit he is still better for argument's sake. I'm personally done with this debate though because I'm certain you or someone else will now say Jeremy is actually a good TM and that's just nonsense. I appreciate the lack of hostility as your opinion was being questioned. if anyone needs to be "cancelled" it's keyboard warriors lol
Bleh... another show with guest contestants...
