Say what you will about Johnny Vegas: he was completely unfazed by opening a locker to three chickens. I think Noel Fielding might be the only other contestant who wouldn’t have reacted to that.
the genuine pity Alex had for Johnny for having no service. how do they do it? I FELT it through my screen. what an excellent show. whish they were all up on youtey for everyone to fully enjoy
The outtake of this is amazing, just seven grown adults giggling like idiots to themselves on the stage to utter silence due to the lack of a live audience.
Johnny Vegas really made this series for me. I knew I was going to like him on here, because I like him in nearly everything else I've seen him in, but I didn't expect him to carry most of the laughs and the great moments from this series. Him and Katherine, really.
I loved this task and series. Wish they uploaded the uncensored, uncut and extended task. So much funnier with them finding out Kathrine was the one who farted.
@@Taolan8472 according to the podcast it was from an unaired task in CoC II, where they also had to find ducks in the lab (though instead of finding ten I believe it was to find as many as possible)
First thing I though of was to swap Sim cards so I would get someone to call me through that phone. I also see me bragging about coming up with that then realizing that the Sim cards are different types so have to do the full task anyway.
Taskmaster, thank you. I'm going through some pretty tough times right now and your show & clips have been helping immensely. It's been one of the few things that I can watch and just forget about all my worries for a little while and just relax. P.S. Alex Horne is the man.
Kinda bummed that they hadn't randomly placed the phone number in an obvious place. But I do wonder if just going through the settings and testing one of the ringtones would've counted. Or did they think ahead and purposefully chose a phone where you can't change the ringtone or something?
I've only seen them use/reveal a 'if they only looked _here_ ' type option if the task doesn't already have a definite way to be completed. Like the look under bowls on different tables task - you _could_ try randomly....... or you could find the hidden diagram.
Yeah I hadn't thought that before, but before I scrolled down, I thought 'surely you could just go to ringtones and scroll down, to trigger the test audio.
Make the phone ring. Any size? Guess ill marry that damn phone. Not sure where i would find stuff that fast to make a makeshift ring that fits but aight.
:30 seconds in. I have a few theories on how I might do it. 1. Call 911, (or the British equivalent) At least in the US that call will always connect. Dispatch also normally doesn't mind a quick call to confirm the phone is working, but maybe not the best idea for TV. 2. Check contacts/settings. My phone number is in my contacts, but nearly all phones list their number somewhere. 3. Call the carrier at 611 (probably much better than 911, but I thought of 911 first. It's the same idea.) 4. open up the settings and set ring tone, then play ring tone. The phone is now ringing. 5. swap sim cards. How easy this is depends very heavily on what kind of phone you have, but if you get a working sim card in the phone you can just call it. Even better if you have a duel simcard phone, but many people don't 6. Finally if all those don't work mess with the original task.
#1 is the worst possible advice and you can be prosecuted for misuse of the emergency lines in the UK (rightfully so). #4 is exactly what I'd have done.
@@PaulDk That's what I'm counting on. It's asking to make the phone ring, not the phone number ring. Swap them and you swap your credit and number over to that phone.
Surprised none of them tried to dial 611 and had the agent call them back (or give them the # they were calling from); usually that works with a zero balance. Might be different in the UK though
Sim settings shows the number. Install an app that shows the number. Share WiFi on your other phone to download apps. Call the police and ask for the number.
My first tought was to go to ringtones and play the phones set ringtone. My second attempt would have been to take out the sim-card, the phone number is sometimes written on them.
It's a shame no one thought to just play the ringtone from the settings. Or call the emergency line (will work without credit) and hange up. They call back, explain you had a butt dial, win.
I don't know about others countries, but here in Brazil the operators "offer" ways to know your phone number by calling certain codes in your phone, so this task would be done in less than 1min here kkkkk
not gonna lie, i would 100% try checking the settings and calling myself, or given it had no credits, youd get the phone company, who could tell you the number XD
FFS the number of people suggesting calling emergency services is horrifying. You know how many thousands of calls the UK emergency services get daily? You think the person who NEEDED the services immediately are going to be happy that some twats wasted the time of the operators (keep in mind, there is more than one idiot in the world, they get several prank calls, not just the odd one in a blue moon). As somebody who knows how much a minute can matter , it pisses me off to see people suggest it, whether as a joke or not. .... Also, I would have completely failed this task, my brain just blanks when numbers are involved.
couldn't you just go into settings and choose the ring tone and it would play. or just call 911 and have it ring a few times and hang up. then they will call you back.
Ask Alex for his phone. Swap my SIM card into the dumb phone, then call my number from Alex’s phone, use the key ring from one of the keys to pop open the SIM card tray
I don't know if it'd work in the UK, but phones in the US have to connect to emergency services, even without minutes. They'll also call you back if you hang up before talking to a person. It'd probably break a law, though.
Yes phones here also will connect to any carrier to dial emergency services, but it’s a dick move to call them without a good reason no matter where you are. I woulda put my own SIM card in the phone and got a friend to keep calling it
@@john22344 of course winning a challenge is not a good reason, are you insane? It's the emergency services and is for emergencies only. It's not only a dick move to waste their time, but a criminal offence too
Borrow Alex's phone, take the SIM card out of your phone and put it into the challenge phone, and call the challenge phone via your number with Alex's phone. Time to complete: 13 seconds.
Settings > About > Will display phone number. Call > Long press 1 to speed dial voicemail which will read out your number. Dial 100 > place collect call/Reverse charge to yourself/ask the operator for your number. No need to play with the lockers - but crap tv 😅
There's a very small chance that they tampered with the settings. The others will definitely work tho. Also: *#99# will display your number. Also there's probably a button combination which will just make it ring, but these are model specific and we don't know the exact model. Also in case the settings were not tampered with, the phone should have an alarm function.
Quickest way to solve this would be to call Emergency Services and then hang up on them. The phone will let you call them even with no credits and they'll call back to make sure you're okay.
That's and older phone, it might have a full-sized or micro-SIM, so you might have had to cut it down to appropriate size, but then there's a question of securing _your_ SIM in that older phone
@@ih8people Wouldn't actually be that hard, you wouldn't want to do this but if you position the smaller sim correctly it will still work. The contacts of smaller sims are exactly the same as larger ones.
Even phones without credit can dial emergency numbers though, so just call 999 and ask the operator to read your number back. Yes, it's unethical, but points.
Johnny's phone not having any service was the cherry on the cake of his attempt
Which triggers a reminescent moment two seasons later, when the portcullis lost its will to function for Desiree.
I think we would all give Johnny a hug during that task. Nearly to a mental breakdown
I really didn't care for him much before this series, but I really did just want to hug him afterwards
"Nearly"?
I actually peed myself watching Johnny 🤣
"nearly to a mental breakdown" is literally his entire tenure on the show.
Say what you will about Johnny Vegas: he was completely unfazed by opening a locker to three chickens. I think Noel Fielding might be the only other contestant who wouldn’t have reacted to that.
I'd wager Rhod Gilbert would have opened it and said "thats a lot of cock." Then closed it and double checked he had the roght locker.
Noel would have definitely given the chickens a kiss (if his divorce to Ducky is final, that is).
I love when the whispering person breaks and starts to laugh during Johnny's attempt. That's my favorite part.

Around the 9:56 mark johnny says "stop rasping" and the whispering radio voice can be heard trying VERY HARD not to laugh.

I hope they provided Johnny a therapist, free of charge after this show. The amount of breakdowns this man has had.
"Cockadoo- no that's not a number!" killed me

It's a miracle to me they all figured out the phone number. I bet they cut a lot of Alex prompting and helping.
for sure ill bet they cut vegas begging him for clues lol
Johnny's squabble with the "956" lady is exactly at 9:56 into the video. These Taskmasters are sneaky

SORRY WHAT XDDD
Katherine stopping to sing in a timed task is so Katherine 😂
This is one of the coolest tasks I’ve seen, it just looks so mysterious.
Alex genuinely smiling at Johnny when he didn’t have service scared me
This was like watching someones's descent into madness
what do you mean "like"
Ah, I’d never before connected this task to both the three chickens and the red Herring in the Series 13 duck task.
I still want to know what other task they had the duck in the wall from? What unaired masterpiece?
@@Taolan8472 according to the podcast it was from an unaired task in CoC II, where they also had to find ducks in the lab (though instead of finding ten I believe it was to find as many as possible)
I'm surprised there wasn't some sort of easy cheat to get you to the number immediately. Usually these sorts of tasks have them.
it probably says the number in the settings
his phone not having service at the end was just an amazing coincidence and proof that God has a sense of humor.
First thing I though of was to swap Sim cards so I would get someone to call me through that phone. I also see me bragging about coming up with that then realizing that the Sim cards are different types so have to do the full task anyway.
you could just go to ringtones settings an select a ringtone and it will ring
My first thought was to hit it up against something metal in the hopes that it would ring in the way that a bell rings

I'd like to see more of this task... I always get a little lost in what all the steps are because they go through it so quickly
Johnny's attempt gave me so much anxiety
yeah, I don't get why he's supposed to be funny, he consistently looks like he's losing his mind over doing badly at a game. 😬
He's such a good sport.
When Katherine almost tripped in the intro, I already lost it
Few people sit so leisurely as Daisy.
