i wonder if she ever rode horses and that might have help with balance. if so she might have been better off only standing on the pedals like the stirrups of on a horse. she must have a good sense of balance to pick it uip so quickly.
But how pathetic of her to continually excuse her being useless by saying 'I forgot my glasses' like a pathetic Scooby Doo Velma. It's also a bit sad to see her solve a kids' basic code puzzle and everyone think she's really clever. Aww, she managed it, even though she had forgotten her glasses. Aww.
@@Zaihanisme VC has become a loudmouth twit, and she's been a bit like that for years. She always seems to be continuing an argument she's had with her obnoxious brother. And how about not being able to ride a bike? Really? An adult? Do you think she can swim?
@@joskimengstrom2853 poker is the worst of all games, and I'm not sure why people play it - the same people who gamble on the horses or like deal or no deal. For something normally dominated by men looking for a rush, in her case I think it means she is hormonally disrupted.
She’s one of my favorite presenters, and I was so proud of her to come dead last and have SO much fun doing it. A true icon, who somehow would have managed to overthink her way to 5th place in a 4-person season ❤️
One of the final tasks of theirs is to create the best proposal for Alex Horne and Victoria did the worst proposal on that task because she felt that proposing to someone regardless of whether it is a fake proposal, would have been disrespectful to David and that she is so besotted with him that she wouldn't - and that is just freaking adorable 💕💕💕
At the time I didn’t know who her husband was so I thought he might be a really controlling, Alpha male whose ego would be bruised by her proposing to someone else.😅
Inspired by Victoria, aged 43, I'm finally having a cycling lesson this month! As a dyspraxic my balance made it impossible, so fingers crossed it goes well.
Try to relax, it’s a lot easier than when you’re tense. If you’re tense, you over-correct too much. Riding is actually smoother than walking, so maybe your dyspraxia won’t hinder you as much as you fear it will. You can do it. Will you come back and tell us how you made out?
Fellow dyspraxic, just wanted to add to help positive thoughts and overcome the stereotype. I was able to learn to ride a bike probably took longer than most people but it’s doable. Keep your head up and don’t look at your feet, look where you are aiming to be, practise pedalling on a stationary bike so you’ve got the motion of pedalling understood already. Good luck 🤞
Also she got absolutely conned in that jingle task. She's definitely one of those contestants who always gets massively underscored by Greg and ends up in last place as a result, when they're not actually bad at tasks, same for Hugh Dennis
@@SpaceSoups I think you’d be the third to second the second, and the second to second the third. What I see, though, is a glaring absence of anyone fourthing. If you’d like to fourth it, I’ll second you.
I've been skating for over 30 years but I too have never learned to ride a bike. This did make me want to get a BMX and learn though. She picked it up so quickly! She's so smart, but so impractical. Big brain, no normal skills lol. She is dead sweet though, this season made me absolutely adore her. Greg was so mean to her too, and I love how awkward she is.
I think my favorite line of Victoria’s is after the first task of the season, hitting Alex with a ball, her saying, with the utmost indignation, “THAT…is the most exercise I’ve done since I was in SCHOOL!” It’s such a soft jab, but you can hear just how strongly she feels it!
I love VCM in Taskmaster because it’s kinda like you get to watch her warm up to the show. In the beginning she’s not too sure but by the end she’s pretty happy
Her father was a kind of genius, in his own way. Strongly recommend his treatise on the creative benefits of alcohol, "Careful Mr. Beethoven, that's your fifth".
As a Dutch person the bike task is hilarious. One hand impossible........haha try no hands on the steer, eating a sandwhich and somehow still capable of making turns. But seriously Victoria did great for a first time.
I honestly would have refused the phone call challenge. That is soul torment right there. My best bet would have been to call my mom, but our conversations are never tv appropriate. XD
I still don't entirely get the drinking with your mouth open task. Either the whole point was to make them overthink it or it's a skill that I've mastered entirely by accident, but I find that to be an incredibly easy thing to do.
I remember watching that task when it was live on TV, and I actually got a glass of water to try it for myself - and I'm with Victoria I'm afraid :/. When it comes to swallowing your mouth just naturally closes... right?! Mine does anyway, and that appears to be the norm. I have no idea how you guys do it!
I'm with you on this. As long as your tongue is right you can drink. I think part of it is from learning to chug a pint of water from an early age. Then there's the "after dentist numbness I hope I don't bite my lip" method of swallowing. Or drinking from the kitchen tap with your mouth open and head sideways. Not being able to drink this way is unexpected.
I felt the same way. I can easily drink with my mouth open. It's already open, you just don't close your lips around whatever you're drinking out of. I never thought of it as hard to do.
This would've been so easy 😂 I would've called tele-health because ethey have scripted responses and you can pretty well say anything to them. Or my mother, this would have been a normal every day conversation with my mother lol
I would have crushed that last task. Marching band has made me an expert at consuming large amounts of fluids in a short amount of time with my mouth open
noone I wouldn’t call it vital. But more often than not we wouldn’t have proper breaks, we would have “Gush ‘n’ Go’s” where you have like 2 minutes to get as much water as you can. And it’s faster to just lift up my 2 gallon jug above me and swallow as it pours into my mouth
Hardly a suitable bike to learn on! Seat needs to be right height on a normal geometry bike. Legs can then be straighter etc. aids balance. She did so well considering the BMX bike.
Seen the bit several times, but only now noticed that when Victoria put her letter into the mailbox, the flag was up but even though her hand came nowhere near it, as she rode off the flag was down. Being unfamiliar with American mail boxes, British viewers probably wouldn't notice but to Americans that's a blatant continuity error.
If this was the 90s all over again I’d say stuff like ‘she would ‘ave it!’ Or ‘Victoria Coren Mitchell? Victoria Phwoar-en Mitchell more like!’. But I realise this is not the 90s and one has to be careful what they say. Maybe the upcoming Oasis gigs will make it the 90s again!
I’m confused about the drinking one. Have these people never glugged a drink before. Just don’t breathe and constantly swallow with your mouth open. It’s easy and stops you from tasting what you’re drinking.
Mad respect for learning how to ride a bike on national television (and picking it up pretty quick honestly!)
i wonder if she ever rode horses and that might have help with balance. if so she might have been better off only standing on the pedals like the stirrups of on a horse. she must have a good sense of balance to pick it uip so quickly.
and on a very awkward tiny bike as well.
Mad respect for doing something 5 year olds can?
@@matthewmonkey9934are you serious? learning to ride a bike that quickly is impressive...
be a jerk elsewhere
@@matthewmonkey9934you absolute plank.
She was adorable throughout the season. She is so smart yet so unpractical, I absolutely loved her performance, it was a joy to watch.

Her little “whyyyy” when Alex says she won’t get to see the dog might just be the most adorable thing ive ever seen
Victoria learning to ride a bike is one of the most wholesome moments in the history of taskmaster!
Wrong 10 letter word starting with T... I guess that also makes it one of the most wholesome taskmaster moments by proxy, but still.
You can definitely feel throughout that she and David are meant for each other
Imagine a dinner evening with them.
They compliment each other very well. David is kinda a shit disturber and Victoria doesn’t really take any of the assorted disturbed shit
She’s one of my favorite presenters, and I was so proud of her to come dead last and have SO much fun doing it. A true icon, who somehow would have managed to overthink her way to 5th place in a 4-person season ❤️
4-person season?
From Australia, Victoria Coren Mitchell is adorable.
I felt really proud too. She's not a person used to looking silly and she really gave it a great go, one of the bravest contestants ever
She should have been given extra points for learning how to ride a bike, just then! Impressive, most impressive!
One of the final tasks of theirs is to create the best proposal for Alex Horne and Victoria did the worst proposal on that task because she felt that proposing to someone regardless of whether it is a fake proposal, would have been disrespectful to David and that she is so besotted with him that she wouldn't - and that is just freaking adorable 💕💕💕
I would've given points just for the adorableness of it all
At the time I didn’t know who her husband was so I thought he might be a really controlling, Alpha male whose ego would be bruised by her proposing to someone else.😅
Inspired by Victoria, aged 43, I'm finally having a cycling lesson this month! As a dyspraxic my balance made it impossible, so fingers crossed it goes well.
best of luck! you've got this
I hope you have the same look of joy when it starts to click! 😀
I love that! Go you :-)

“OH…oh…oh…this is AW-ful…oh…oh…oh…”
And her “Make the Noise of a Monster” had me on the floor.
it's funny how David said the exact same thing trying to figure out if Bob Mortimer was lying or not "This is Awful"
Also she got absolutely conned in that jingle task. She's definitely one of those contestants who always gets massively underscored by Greg and ends up in last place as a result, when they're not actually bad at tasks, same for Hugh Dennis
Hugh's attempts at being clever with the tasks were his undoing. He wasn't being underscored, he effectively sabotaged his own attempts.
It wasn't a jingle. A jingle is a short song or line of music.
Greg didn’t say he “didn’t like this kind of attitude as a rule”
Rhod Gilbert was always over scored
@@OrgaNik_Musicnope that one dancing task hugh should’ve got more points while all noel did was sway back and forth and won.
Victoria utterly delights me. I loved her moral and conscientious approach to tasks. She's what I would be like if I took part in Taskmaster.
Bless her with that bike. I just love that she gave it a really good go and didn't mind embarrassing herself for television.
PLEASE make a compilation of Alex Horne laughing. He's so adorable when he cracks up and tries to hide it.
I second this!
i third this!!!
I’ll be the second to second and third this!
@@johnorsomeone4609 And I'd be the first to second the third and third to second the second.
@@SpaceSoups I think you’d be the third to second the second, and the second to second the third. What I see, though, is a glaring absence of anyone fourthing. If you’d like to fourth it, I’ll second you.
The most iconic thing she did was bring in the same thing for two separate prize tasks
finally a video about victoria! thank you!! i feel she was so underrated but she was my absolute fav that season
I absolutely fell in love with Victoria throughout the series. Last place in the standings, first place in my heart ❤
Victoria choosing the smallest bike has me dying
Interesting that they didn't add the part of her buying season tickets for Alan.
That was absolutely rockers.
I just hope that one day we get a version of this video with commentary by david and victoria
"it's hard to get someone else's wee, I was alone in a room"
said with such certainty, how can you not love her? lol
Victoria struggling to play the slide whistle is giving me flashbacks to Mark Watson and the briefcase
I love Victoria. And the whole cast of this season of Taskmaster is brilliant.
Old Goosebump Arm is the best!
I've been skating for over 30 years but I too have never learned to ride a bike. This did make me want to get a BMX and learn though. She picked it up so quickly!
She's so smart, but so impractical. Big brain, no normal skills lol. She is dead sweet though, this season made me absolutely adore her. Greg was so mean to her too, and I love how awkward she is.
I love for the prize task when she brought Alan Davis, a Chelsea fan, tickets to go see Manchester United play.
Oops you mean Arsenal!
@@johndeever You're right Chelsea have been on my mind alot lately for some reason
@@MikeMJPMUNCH lol makes sense, me too!
“I mean I could wee on it? What time does this go out?” 🤣🤣🤣

David is a very, VERY lucky man.
I have always adored this woman in everything I have watched her on. :)
David Mitchell is so lucky
She has like the disposition of a cranky boarding school teacher and the heart of an Angel 😂.
She’s just excellent.
I'm putting this in, because I can't find a similar comment below: she learned to ride a bike in ONE MINUTE. She's a damn goddess.
I love VCM in Taskmaster because it’s kinda like you get to watch her warm up to the show. In the beginning she’s not too sure but by the end she’s pretty happy
id love to see david mitchells reaction to victorias first bike ride
Victoria: "you can't do this with one hand." Think of a unicycle 😅 not just one, but none 👏🏽
Victoria Coren-Mitchell is my favourite.
Her father was a kind of genius, in his own way. Strongly recommend his treatise on the creative benefits of alcohol, "Careful Mr. Beethoven, that's your fifth".
I'm sure Alan would have been both laughing his head off and also bursting with pride at Victoria's "Ormerod hoax".
As a Dutch person the bike task is hilarious. One hand impossible........haha try no hands on the steer, eating a sandwhich and somehow still capable of making turns.
But seriously Victoria did great for a first time.

She is gorgeous, funny and smart in equal measures
I see Victoria and I click. ♥️
Thinking mans crumpet
I was so genuinely excited for Victoria teaching herself to ride a bike, as an adult, in less than a minute. She she be very proud of herself. 🚲😀
The fact that her portrait of Greg isn’t on here is an injustice
Victoria’s smile is the best!
She is pure "chocolate for the mind!"
I think David Mitchell is luckiest (really lucky) man in the world.
Chance would be a fine thing
This comment is on every David or Victoria video , maybe she's the lucky one 😉
Omg Marco is adorable 🥺🥺
she needed others in the same scene and probably some backstory but when you have that she's adorable

I think it was supposed to be a tiebreaker but they promoted it into a main task when Desiree dominated it
She's the coolest person in the uk♥️
Loved her on the show. She's so smart but clueless at the same time.
"I'm drinkin' it."
And here was me thinking that James Acaster was the only person who ever went on Taskmaster.
Both bikes needed the seat raised.
3:48 "𝓗𝓮𝓵𝓵𝓸."
I love her
Nothing will beat the half season ticket to man utd
She was absolutely robbed on that prize task. Also on the “layers” one.
A half season ticket to a decent club
This would've been so easy 😂 I would've called tele-health because ethey have scripted responses and you can pretty well say anything to them. Or my mother, this would have been a normal every day conversation with my mother lol
13:39 when you finish without telling her.
a delight
She’s ace! Super intelligent therefore super hot! Damn you David Mitchell 😂
I love her so much
I would have crushed that last task. Marching band has made me an expert at consuming large amounts of fluids in a short amount of time with my mouth open
Is that an innuendo about what really happens at band camp?
or did I miss the oportunity to learn a vital life skill during all my years in band?
noone I wouldn’t call it vital. But more often than not we wouldn’t have proper breaks, we would have “Gush ‘n’ Go’s” where you have like 2 minutes to get as much water as you can. And it’s faster to just lift up my 2 gallon jug above me and swallow as it pours into my mouth
There is no doubt, she is the 'bizz'.
one thing i’ll never understand is why Victoria chose the small bike, the normal one would’ve been so much easier to ride 😂
Hardly a suitable bike to learn on! Seat needs to be right height on a normal geometry bike. Legs can then be straighter etc. aids balance. She did so well considering the BMX bike.
I just want to play poker with Vitoria Corin Mitchell. I would’ve just said Corin but I really like peep show.
i could do the mouth open drinking task. i used to do that as a kid.

The bell rings, and Marco wants to go eat. Hmm... 🤔
My secret guilty pleasure...

She has a keen intellect ,rapier wit and champion bangers....Mad for it!!
What kind of breed is Marco the dog :O He's so cute..
if only they'd adjusted the saddle for her in that first task
Victoria is so beautiful
Love VCM.
omg she is beautiful
i took me years learn to bike because i'm afraid of pain
Chance would be a fine thing
Victoria is a Goddess of Goddesses 💖😍💖
I’m confused about the drinking one. Have these people never glugged a drink before. Just don’t breathe and constantly swallow with your mouth open. It’s easy and stops you from tasting what you’re drinking.
Victoria is a goddess!
Someone should give her a proper bike.
13:52 *GGLLLUUUURRRHH*
I wonder who she was talking to on the phone.
Sounds like David Baddiel.
'cat'
I made the mistake of eating while I watched this. Do not do this at home. Though home is better than a restaurant.
Why are these not adult bicycles?
If you were ever curious on what sounds David makes Victoria do, I guess the answer can be found at: 1:50
Victoria was given a really difficult bike to ride…it’s too small for her! Like a clown bike….
She is a darling 😁
She is the epitome of academic genius that has no common sense lmfao
Taskmaster is the show that make very smart people come across as really stupid.
Victoria was epic.
I don't know why, but I find her extremely attractive
❤
I wonder if she knows how many men are in love with her.
If VCM was a redhead she would be my perfect woman. Funny, extremely intelligent, great poker player and thinks David Mitchell is awesome.
1. Hair dye exists.
2. She's married.
3. Really specific although I find red hair attractive too.
