Part of the joy of Taskmaster is not just when they do really well, the epic fails are some of the funniest moments. Definitely worth watching a full episode to get a proper idea of how it works.
Absolutely - the show only makes sense if an entire episode (or even a series) is watched from start to finish. It is certainly far more enjoyable that way!
Also the ingenious work around
@@carriageofnoreturn.1881 yeah I'd say watch a full series too. You really get to know the contestants and what they're up to, you get more of the dynamic between Greg and Alex... just snippets is fine if you know what the show is about and how it works, but to get there you gotta watch it first
agree, and I recommend series 4, and 7
The snippets of Taskmaster are to lure people into watching full episodes. I recommend going from season 1 so you can see the evolution from participants following the task to the letter to absolute mayhem finding the loopholes
I laughed when you said Josh Widdicombe is Scottish. He grew up in Devon which is almost as far away from Scotland as you can get in the UK. His village was so small there were only four kids in his year at school.
You just gave away a WILTY episode! 😉
About as English as it gets
I mean, there are Scottish people in Devon (my family, for example), but yeah he definitely isn't Scottish. I could almost understand the confusion if his accent reached the same level of incomprehensible as some Scottish accents do, but he's got a pretty understandable accent. He'd probably say 'Devon', not 'Dem'
He’s like a hobbit from the shire
Jesus yanks can be ignorant sometimes haha
Just start at episode 1 and work through them. They've never made a bad show, and it's a great introduction to some of the best comedians on the planet being taken completely out of their comfort zone. Equal amounts brilliance and sheer stupidity, and very very funny.
You said it perfectly with equall amounts of brilliance and stupidity but you should have added that some celebrities are absolutely thick as two short planks.
When you inevitably go down the rabbit hole of every episode of Taskmaster from series 1 onwards, don’t forget the Christmas specials/Champion of Champions. Katherine Ryan ‘making a mess’ is superb dedication to the show🤣
All I know is, never, never, *never* cross Katherine Ryan.
Yes! 🤣🥰
It's worth watching a full episode if you can. There's full episodes on their official channel (in the US)
it's one of the best shows ever! definately watch all of the seasons :)
That was a great highlight reel but the funniest part of taskmaster is comparing how other competitors did the same task… The different ways they made things disappear for instance was hilarious
The original words to the first video is,
One, two, three, four, five, once I caught a fish alive.
Six, seven, eight, nine, ten, then I let it go again.
Why did you let it go? Because it bit my finger so.
Which finger did it bit?
This little finger on my right.
Is that not a popular nursery rhyme in the US?
@@serenity8739. Very popular in the U.K.
@@serenity8739 Not really. I hadn't heard of it until I saw this episode.
I'm sad there was nothing from season 7 there. Rhod Gilbert and James Acaster together led to some of the funniest moments i've ever seen in my life
@@kitsuneneko2567 You're talking about the satsuma fallout, aren't you?
They edited a whole bit about a harpoon being thrown through the caravan, if I recall :-)
The closed garage! :))
Taskmaster is probably the biggest 21st century innovation not only in British comedy, but in comedy in general. I don't think it's ever had a bad episode.
It's genius. It get s all the good bits of improv, but then they can edit them into a cohesive storyline. They never have to have a bad episode.
It pretty much doesn't matter the guests either because if you like or dislike them they will eventually look ridiculous at a lot of moments in it.
I dunno the last few seasons were a bit crappy
@@jageiosjgaeiojg 10 kinda bad but i really like 11 and 12, 12 especially
@@camisanerd I loved season 10, especially Daisy and Johnny Vegas.
Most iconic moment is definitely Joe Wilkinson and the potato. There have been loads of good tasks, and I highly recommend watching the series if you can, but this task tops the lot. Second place would probably go to Josh's present to the taskmaster.
"please don't take this away from me"
I just felt shitty after that moment. I really wanted him to win that task
Emotional roller coaster, that was 👍
@@nanabonsu2349 na mate, soooooo much funnier the way it was
Eating as much watermelon (both alone and feeding each other) had me absolutely creased. They shud be added to your list 😂
That guy is Bob Mortimer and you absolutely NEED to watch his Would I Lie to You compilations
As others have mentioned, question guy was Bob Mortimer. Watch the compilations of him on Would I Lie To You. Epic stuff.
Cosign. Bob Mortimor's mind simply works in a different way. There are a couple of compilations of his stuff that would make excellent subjects for a reaction video.
Actually searched through the comments just hoping to see that someone had suggested this. Will never tire of all Bob’s WILTY stories!
There was a US version, but the chemistry between Greg (The titular Taskmaster) and Alex (sidekick/creator of Taskmaster) is so integral.
Also, you're spot on, the American competitors were just that, so competitive that it ruined the experience. Whereas the Brits can and do take the pi$$ out of themselves as well as others.
There is a Swedish version as well (and probably many others) called "Bäst i test". However, "Greg" is a big lady here, she's okay :) But it's our "Alex's" chemistry with the guests that makes it fun to watch. I actually like it a lot, despite being on state tv (much like BBC). Halv of the tests, as we call them, are more or less copied from the English original, half of them are made up. (The "Talk to a swede" task became "Talk to an Icelandic person", for instance.) A sixth season is coming up this spring.
@@herrbonk3635 There's also a New Zealand version. I think they have 2 or 3 seasons out already, very very funny also. They replicate the chemistry between the Taskmaster and sidekick very well there, and the contestants are also in it for the fun. I'd like to check out the Swedish version if there's a subtitled version out there somewhere :)
@@StefanScripca The NZ version is superb. I haven't watched the Swedish version but the Norwegian version (Kongen Befaler) is well worth watching if you can find it.
@@StefanScripca The NZ one also had the benefit of the Taskmaster's assistants brother as a contestant. That was a nice touch that the UK one couldn't replicate.
@@davidholden2658 I found Kongen befaler, here on CZcams. Have seen one episode so far. Your studio or theater looks very similar to the brittish, but nicer house (things important to me :)
I'm from Croatia and I accidentally stumbled upon Taskmaster on you tube. After a few clips like this I decided to watch the whole show. It's one of my favorite Tv shows ever! I absolutely love and adore this show! I recommend you to watch it whole, you'll not be sorry. 😊☺️
That guy with the 4 comments is the one and only Bob Mortimore. A national treasure and all round funny guy. Definitely someone you should react to. His appearances on Would I lie to you would be a great place to start. (FYI; on a totally mercenary note, he has a massive following, myself included and your views will skyrocket!)
I'll second that. Would I Lie To You is pretty good generally both for just watching and for reacting to, and even more so when Bob Mortimer is one of the guests.
I would third that, any Would I Lie To You clips and this Bob especially. David Mitchell and Lee Mack have good banter as the show captains. czcams.com/users/WILTYNope
@KernowWarrior - *Mortimer
Bob Mortimer is a king of comedy !!
I came to the comments to recommend Bob Mortimer on would I lie to you. Glad someone beat me to it!
I am from Austria and me and my wife watched every episode of taskmaster on CZcams. Best show ever made
During the 1st wave of covid they did a thing on CZcams, in which they invited members of the public to sent in video clips, which could be shot at home during the lockdown. It was a really big hit with people sending video's from all over the world.
Hometasking - it was sooo good - getting families to do tasks and post videos to the task master
#Hometasking got me through lockdown.
For belated context, in taskmaster the same group of celebrities compete against each other for a season, with a a winner at the end of each episode and an overall winner being declared at the end of the season. The celebrities each complete tasks with no knowledge of how or what each other did until they review the footage together in the studio. Greg, the taskmaster, questions, ridicules, and judges their efforts and awards points. Alex is his minion, who is also there when the celebrities perform the tasks and sometimes ends up being used as a prop in them.
Also worth adding Alex Horne is the creator of Taskmaster despite Greg being his stage superior. Alex's comic timing (on here and his own comedy career) is second to none.
@@stevemcmosh4271 agreed, but Greg is also pretty damn funny! 😁
@@langdalepaul the dynamic between the two is incredible! Greg is too much of a huge presence (both comically and literally) to be subordinate to anyone on a tv show.
It all seems hilarious!
@@betterhalf6868 You can watch most of the seasons for free on youtube ;) directly from the official youtube channel czcams.com/users/Taskmasterplaylists
Taskmaster is one of the funniest shows around. Glad you've gotten round to it. An utter treat, and 12 whole series for you to catch up on.
And a lot of full seasons available on their CZcams channel for everyone to enjoy.
And other versions around the world too. I live in NZ and I LOVE Taskmaster. There have been 2 seasons here and while they're different, they're equally brilliant overall I feel. In particular the dynamic between taskmaster and minion is not the same - but frankly, trying to recreate the relationship between Greg and Alex would be a mistake IMO, no one would be able to match it and it would come across forced. Make it your own and run with it makes for the best TV :)
@@Zone1BC Heard lots of good things about Taskmaster NZ but have only watched the first episode myself. Seems so odd not having Greg and Alex there.
Also seen short clips of the assorted versions across Europe...a strange sensation.
@@bromley001 Agreed, when you've got used to Greg and Alex (and love it so much) and don't recognise the participants, it can take a couple of episodes to get the feel of another country's version
@@bromley001 absolutely need to watch NZ season 2, one of the best of all time imo.
The first series was actually filmed in a theatre, the Clapham Grand. For series 2 & 3 they moved to fountain studios and replicated the theatre setting for the show. Series 4 they moved again to what has been the permanent home since at the world-famous Pinewood Studios. Which came in handy when they filmed before, during and after the first covid lockdown in the UK.
Two guaranteed sources of crying with laughter - "Joe Wilkinson Taskmaster Potato" plus the multiple examples of "Bob Mortimer - Would I Lie To You?"
Oh god, the infamous Potatogate... xD
Bob Mortimer is regarded in the UK as a "national treasure"; especially known for his appearances in the show Would I Lie to You? I would recommend checking out his contribution to the show called "Does Bob Morty do his own dentistry?"
Taskmaster is great. The tasks, the interplay between Greg, Alex and the contestants and the reactions when they are played back are just some of the things I like. The ultimate prize at the ends of the series is a gold bust of Greg. Each week's winner picks up the 'prize tasks'. Each week contestants are asked to bring in something based on a theme (something blue, something scary etc). This is the first task of the show and the winner for that week gets all the prize tasks that have been brought in. Great reaction. I like how you two always seem to know what the other one doesn't. Great team.
if you know how crap Nish was the entire series, and then in last episode they do that song, it gives it even more meaning....it was a stunner!!! :)
But was it better than, let's be honest here, Bob's " Rosalind's a nightmare"??? What were the people who put these clips together thinking.
"They probably win a cash prize" - It's like you don't know us at all 😤
Where's Joe Wlkinsons golf shot? That was iconic and hilarious Its a great show and you guys need to watch full episodes
That and the cake-sitting incident are probably the most iconic things the show did, although for very different reasons
You really need to watch the guy who said "do we strike her" , Bob Mortimer and Would I Lie To You. He has the most ridicoulus stories , where the panel is supposed to guess if he is telling the thruth or if he is lying. Your audience would love it!!
(last guy) Bob Mortimer is the funniest man in Britian. Should watch "Bob Mortimer on would I lie to you, Part 1" then part 2 obviously
Rules of Taskmaster - 5 contestants (same ones for a full season) compete in strange and wonderful tasks set by the Taskmaster (Greg). Each task is adjudicated by Alex (who may be dragged in to help). Round 1 - contestants are asked to bring a themed "something" into the studio - these then form that weeks prize. Greg awards points based on originality, back story etc - 5 best, 1 worst. Then follows several filmed tasks. Each task is unknown to the contestant before opening the envelope. The filmed tasks are played back to the studio (first time that the Taskmaster (Greg) has seen the efforts). These are also scored by Greg - some are easy to score - e.g. quickest to do the task, who can send an object furthest in an allotted time etc. - others are more subjective and comedic input, uniqueness etc may add to how Greg scores them. The final round is a live challenge in the studio. Scores are collated for each show - the winner takes away the things collected in Round 1. Scores are also collected throughout the season to produce a season winner. There are many series of Taskmaster so a real goldmine of reactions available - ENJOY - Just got to the end and your question "Why don't we get comedians together in the US like this?" (paraphrased) - US Ego??? Most of the contestants on this show are comedians, comic actors/writers, comic presenters with the occasional DJ, TV presenter etc. (these can be the funniest as you are not expecting them to be as funny as the others).
You definately have to watch a full episode. Part of the joy is seeing the different approaches, both good , and even better the absolute terrible ones.
Like with the Gap one, you missed the others viciously dismembering the poor camel lol.
Or with the Nursery rhyme, you missed John Richardson's most disturbing rendition of 3 blind mice lol
You'll Love Taskmaster, The banter is half the fun and watching celebs try to come up with solutions to odd tasks, you'll get epic fails and epic wins. Brilliant show
It's been a huge success over here, little Alex Horne, the sidekick and score keeper is the actual taskmaster and founder of the show, it's his baby. Three of the comedians in that clip also have their own hilarious CZcams channel called 'No More Jockeys', it's best friends Alex Horne, Mark Watson and Tim Key, it's a game they devised while touring together to kill time, it's absolutely brilliant!
So happy you guys have reacted, so so happy, a great show…thank you 👍😂🇬🇧
The thrill of others discovering Taskmaster for the very first time. I found the series in 2020 in the middle of the first lock down, when they made a Finnish version of it. The original series, that had over 10 seasons (or series) at that point, helped to keep my mood up during the ”dark ages”.
as well as the uk taskmaster being so amazing, i also found the new zealand taskmaster being equally chaotic ( especially season two, which holds a special place in my heart )
One of the amazing things about Taskmaster is that it's almost entirely down to Alex Horne. It's his baby, and he put in a ton of work to make a go of it.
I think Katherine Ryan's first nursery rhyme, the one about the peanut being crushed by the train, might be a Canadian/border regions kind of thing. A wonderful children's host, Fred Penner (think "Canadian Mr. Rogers" sorta thing. Canada's had a lot of really amazing kids' hosts, mostly through public television) sang it on his show (I think) and on one of his albums (definitely), and everybody knew it. The program was on CBC, though, so if you didn't get that, it seems you probably didn't see it.
As a little kid in Chicago, my dad would sing to us, "Two little peanuts sittin' on a track. Along came a train. WooOO WOOO!! Peanut butter!"
That one guy was Bob Mortimer. You should really watch his appearances on ‘Would I lie to you’. He is a national treasure!
Can definitely recommend all the Taskmaster series, they should be viewable from the US on the Taskmaster youtube channel. Also, season 2 of Taskmaster New Zealand is an absolute riot, ranks up there with the best of TM UK.
There is always a prize task in every episode. Each contestant brings something in to fit the category (similar to the rest of the tasks), and they score points based on how good their item is. But then, at the end of the episode, the winner gets to take home all of the prizes the other contestants brought in.
So the prize task is a risk vs reward thing... bring something that will help you win the task, but don't bring something too ridiculous that it will cost you a lot if you don't win. But sometimes the contestants going overboard on the prize task is the biggest source of entertainment. The biggest one in my mind was bring in the most important document, and 2 contestants brought in Guinness world records and one brought in their wedding certificate. Although as far as I can see, the more costly and/or sentimental prizes are generally returned through common courtesy, although there's no guarantee of that and the show certainly doesn't act like they'll get them straight back again.
Also, the overall season winner gets a trophy of the taskmaster's head
(TBH I'm not 100% on this info because I mostly just watch CZcams clips rather than the actual show but I think I'm right)
iirc they actually sign a waiver to say that the prizes they're giving up are genuinely being given up, though as a friendly courtesy thing anything really important will generally be given back
Easiest way to understand the show is to watch a complete episode from the start. Best to start with the 1st series
Bob Mortimer was the one with the questions 😂 really enjoyed the reaction!!
Best show on TV. Bob Mortimer is a bloody legend
I would recommend watching full episodes. Part of the fun is getting to know them as they progress and the different ways they go about solving whats put to them.
The guy who asked "do we strike her" is Bob Mortimer, you should definitely check out some Would I Lie to You with him on it, he's a great story teller :D
Also i'd recommend any clips you can find of a show called Shooting Stars which where hosted by Bob with his comedy partner Vic Reeves very surreal humour
You've hit the motherload here. This is cult viewing, and there are so many episodes to trawl through. Each season/series has the same participants throughout, for about 10 weeks. Each episode has a winner, points are tallied up throughout the series to produce an overall winner. No tasks are ever repeated, each is unique. Points are awarded for each task, 5 to 1, sometimes no points, depending on the Tasmaster's mood. He has final say and awards points accordingly.
What you've watched here is just the tip of the iceberg. I hope you enjoy it.
Motherlode
The New Zealand version of taskmaster is also worth watching, especially season 2 which has some absolutely chaotic and hilarious moments
You’ve got 12 series plus specials to watch. DEVOUR THEM ALL!!
The guy asking the weird questions in the last task is Bob Mortimer. You definitely need to watch the compilation of him on “Would I Lie To You?”. Just a genuinely funny and bizarre person.
I'm amazed that clip didn't show Sally, Aisling, and Bob's song at the end too... Whilst Nish and Mark wrote a genuinely good song... the other three's effort was pure comedy gold.
Bob has used that tune for other songs on his podcast well before he was on Taskmaster. He used Sunderland in the original
I watch this on CZcams and it is a great show. I wish the US had shows like this on regular TV. Or panel shows with comedians.
The genius of Bob Mortimer - some of the funniest Taskmaster moments feature Bob! You should react to more of him, especially with Vic Reeves...
If they haven't already they should really react to Bob Mortimers Mortmerian tales on WILTY, so odd but hilarious.
The Taskmaster house where all the tasks are filmed bar the last task of every episode is in Duke's meadow Chiswick in West London. It's an old Groundskeepers cottage that is next to a golf course they occasionally use for tasks.
I wish more people would react to Taskmaster, its honestly one of the best shows in this century
such a good show. definitely worth binging the full seasons available on youtube. i like it because they genuinely all have fun with each other, its not all "act polite and mature for the camera"
Watch it series by series, it is fucking insane at times and the great potatoe injustice was one of the funniest things i've ever seen
I was hoping that would be in this.
You should watch full series either on or off video. You get to know the contestants over the course of it and end up falling in love with people you'd never heard of before.
The 'prize' at the current 10 episodes is a life-sized replica of the Taskmaster's (Greg Davies) head. There have been 2 new year specials since it switched channels here in the UK, where they have 5 non-comedians take part and the 'prize' is the Taskmaster's eyebrows on a stick. (Show first started on a comedy channel called 'DAVE' in 2015 before leaving to go to Channel 4 in 2019, starting in 2020)
Don't forget the champion of champions where the prize was a body for the head to fit into, but the one who won was the only one not to get the head. It was series one so he won a karate trophy.
@@AndrewHalliwell That was Josh Widdecombe. the head came in series 2. so that's why in the C of C show the karate trophy was there instead of the head. Josh is famous for being on The Last leg.
Would I Lie to You Mortimerian tales is probably something I would have to recommend if you like the guy who likes to strike people on his first meeting 😂
Bob Mortimer is the guy asking the very odd 4 questions, a comic great and so beloved by us in Britain
The prize is a Golden bust of Greg Davies’ head!
Also the one rule is “everything is written on the task” so some tasks are open to creative interpretation and there are some pretty incredible loopholes discovered. Also people have failed a task for the slightest infraction!
the look on Joe Wilkinsons face when his foot touched the edge of the red green is absolutely heartbreaking!
@@noahswann the Taskmaster is harsh, but he is fair.
They didn't include THE most iconic moment ever. Joe Wilkinson and the potato.
Task Master aka. Greg Davis is great. You should react to his story on the Graham Norton Show - "Ryan Gosling Can’t Cope With Greg Davies’ Ridiculous Story" .. hilarious!
... or try "My nan your nan Greg Davies’ best jokes from the Royal Variety Performance 2018" at czcams.com/video/zeOlHPgaVhQ/video.html
A great shout !! 😂🤣😂👍🇬🇧
Task Master AKA Alex Horne is no slouch either. Their chemistry makes a big part of the show (with Alex of course being the head behind it).
It's a comedy show the goal isn't to win but to make the show as entertaining as possible
Fantastic video - definitely watch a whole series. Taskmaster makes me cry with laughter all the time
Great series, definitely worth checking out for yourselves whether or not you actually put it up here. For the tasks, what matters is what's written on the card so there can be some very creative interpretations.
Bob Mortimer, a very special percular guy, grew up one town over from me. Naturally hysterical grew up rough and fairly free.
He goes on may panel shows his "would I lie to you appearances tell alot about him and his life"
‘Should I strike you?’ is Bob Mortimer, British comedy legend. You can start with his Would I Lie to You compilations 👍👏
You need to watch an entire episode to understand the format.
and from there you will naturally watch an entire series because that stuff is addictive.
I hope you do a full episode, just seeing one person do a task is great but seeing everyone trying or failing is just a treat.
For your own joy and delight you should watch a series right through. Everything will make much sense than this compilation does...
..and "One, two, three,four,five, once I caught a fish alive..." is a bona-fide nursery rhyme
This! People keep saying watch a full episode... The show has an entire series story arc guys. Watch an entire series, start to finish. The "Neil Talks" channel has done it, the "Stanz" channel has done it. Genius move by Alex Horne, he insisted they keep the same comedians for an entire series when the execs were pushing for different comedians each week.
Pretty please please with so many cherries on top, react to and watch more Taskmaster. It's an absolute gold mine.
Please react to a full series of this, it's so good!!
I really enjoyed you enjoying Taskmaster. It's an amazing show, and your analysis was fun too :)
This is the first video I've watched in your channel and as a huge Taskmaster fan, I hope you can start reacting to full episodes starting in Series 1. I'm confident that you'll enjoy the show and will be addicted to it as well.
Hi, all love the show That guy that said "should we strike you " is Bob Mortimore. He is an amazing comedian and writer. His stories on the panel show Would I Lie to You are amazing. This is a show where the guests tell stories of their past and you have to figure out if they are lying or not. Quite a few reaction channels have covered him. So copyright issues should be workable. Love the fact that you guys don't pause too often and you are such a fab team.
Mortimer! From the brilliant comedy duo Reeves and Mortimer along with Vic Reeves (real name Jim Moir). They're both very surrealist comedians.
'if you twist, you fail......twisting equals tears'
@@cemerson the Dr Shakamoto shorts are some of the funniest, most surreal comedy going
Fantastic reaction i love this show. I regularly re-watch this show especially the first 3 series. I look forward to seeing you guys react to more of it.
The Nish and Mark series was hands down my fave! ive just been reminded from watching this as so many awesome brit comedians have been on the show its hard to remember who was on what series!
I love Bob, such a random legend.
Even if you don't do reactions to it, definitly recomend watching Task master from series 1!
Great reaction and I really recommend giving at least one whole series a try. I can almost guarantee that you will be hooked after just one or two episodes.
Hey guys and thank you so much for that. Only heard about this show recently & keep meaning to check it out but never got to. Now I've seen this little smidgeon am absolutely going to watch. It looks really good.
Omg you guys are going to be hooked! It's so good. :)
You must watch full episodes. A lot is available on the Taskmaster CZcams :)
React to them if possible - many would love to watch you react I am sure.
There are no prizes, all the contestants are celebrities.
having watched all of Taskmaster multiple times and knowing very well how badly both Niesh and Mark did throughout their season, watching them perform that song will never not bring a happy tear to my eye because that is one of the best ever things to happen on Taskmaster.
and the "do we strike her" guy is Bob Mortimer, one half of a comedy duo with Vic Reeves.
Definitly watch all of Taskmaster! all the episodes are on their official youtube for non-uk residents
my favorite tv-game show ever
I watched one episode of taskmaster and got hooked right away. Please watch more of it. You'll love it and cry of laughter.
I'm so glad I recommended this, Taskmaster is what kept my laughing and smiling through the pandemic.
the fact you suspected there must be a cash prize when all they get is a statue of greg's head is peak british culture
Oh one tip comedy panel shows/game shows, no prize or a pathetic prize. Comedians are competitive as hell and will compete just to win. Results are hysterical.
I LOVE Task Master. I watch full episodes & full seasons on CZcams. Came across it randomly because I watch a lot of British tv. Love your channel ✌️
Series 10 (the one with Katherine Parkinson aka "the girl from IT Crowd") is my absolute favourite.
There isn't a cash prize for the winner of the series - the winner gets a trophy in the shape of Greg's head.
Taskmaster is definitely my comfort show. Good, honest, British madness 😂
Bob Mortimer is a scream on "Would I Lie to You". Hysterical show.
Bob Mortimer was the guy that said "Do we strike her" He is a guest on quite a few shows, You should check out his best bits on (Would i lie to you) another great tv show
The song Doc sang isn't a reference to Charlie bit my finger lol, it's just an actually nursery rhyme
You guys should definitely react to Bob Mortimer on Would I Lie To You. He's the guy that asked "do we strike you?". He's hilarious.
I hope you have since watched some of the full episodes/seasons on CZcams. It's utterly glorious.
It helps to realise that a lot of the performers have considerable history together. In season 1, Roisin and Tim are close friends of hosts Greg and Alex respectively, and the mood of the show can be friendly, silly and often flirtatious. Season 4 with Mel from Bake Off may be the best, certainly wholesome the whole way through.
I hope you enjoy!
You have accidentally run into two great things here, one being Bob Mortimer and the other being Taskmaster.
The 4 contestants were given the same task. They watch back all of their attempts and react to it then the taskmaster and assistant discuss it and pick a winner of that task. At the start of each episode the contestants put up one of their personal items to fit a theme they were set and the winner of the full episode wins all of the personal items in the prize pool. For example one time the theme for the prize was important documents and one of them put up their marriage certificate. The overall winner of an entire series gets a trophy
Any day a fellow American discovers Task Master is a good day! You should watch entire episodes. I suggest you also check out "The Big Fat Quiz of Everything", "8 Out of Ten Cats", and "Would I Lie to You?"
You ABSOLUTELY have to watch the entire back catalogue of the show. It's insanely good.
