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 kinda miss these "you have 12 weeks" tasks
same. in addition to the purchase or make Greg a gift Tasks
They did have a variant of the 'buy a gift' task in series 16 but besides that I think the 'homework' tasks have been defunct since series 8
Why don’t they do 12-week tasks anymore?
@@Lsb412 they now have strictly 5 tasks an episode now instead of 6, presumably to take up less time filming, and these were usually quick tasks that could fit into an episode with 4 taped tasks.
I wouldn’t mind them being brought back, but this series in particular had a lot of filler, I.e. tablecloth eggs, pint money
@@Lsb412probably it's too time consuming, the comedians may not all be available so much time in advance.
I didn't realize it the first time I watched this task. Russell didn't even make an announcement. He shouted a command.
Similar goes for Lisa Tarbuck and Happy Birthday. It's more a wish than an announcement.
He came last anyway so what's it matter
@@hardrockinhere not everything has to matter
@@Mubashir_AK its anouncing someones birthday
An Englishman in India shouting for the "indian dogs" to be quiet has a certain whiff of historical authenticity..
To be fair, the pet dog population is around 30mil. alone and a estimated 70 mil. more street dogs. Though I doubt yelling from a balcony reached that far, even in dog hearing. Not his problem I suppose, he made the announcement, they just didn't listen.
@@insaincaldo Was it an announcement though? It was more a general instruction I reckon. Announcement has to be a statement or a declaration. I have the same issue with "Happy Birthday" being an announcement.
@@Mubashir_AK I see your point, he didn't.
Though it is not the same, you are not telling the person to have a good day, you say it is a good day, because you are celebrating them and then you wish them a happy birthday, because you hope their day will be as good as their existence is worth celebration.
I love both of you missing the point. The British used to have racist policies and had plenty of establishments with signs that said "Dogs and Indians are not allowed inside", etc.
Any Indian hearing a Brit go "Indian dogs" would immediately do a double take, like, "wait what?!"
@@VagrantRohitt Or do you think we just ignored it and had fun instead.
My first instinct when I first saw this task was "Get pregnant and tell everyone" but then I realized I'm a man...
It doesn't have to be a true announcement
@@Chocomint_Queen But if I was actually pregnant than Greg would be forced to give me the 5 points :)
Get someone else pregnant
Alex gave birth, and so can you
Adopt, or announce someone else's pregnancy (a girlfriend or wife, perhaps)
with the "Big Announcement" near the airport task submission reminds me that I want Max Fosh to be a contestant here
Max Fosh would destroy Greg
GREAT shout!
Asim's announcement is a really great moment of clever thinking, since his performance is tied to the Taskmaster's ego!
Imagine making your target 12 and then being told to name continents
Interesting, the task never said the maximum number was 5 or anything, I wonder if there was a behind-the-scenes guidance so they didn't go overboard
@@iliketrains3495I guess it was just common sense, because they had only 10 seconds. It is rather hard to go higher than 5, risking to get difficult unknown category. Personally, I wouldn't go higher than 7.
Very difficult, but not impossible. Pangea, and other former continents would need to be called upon.
well he could simply choose to swap the categories' numbers so that you wouldn't get an impossible one like that
These tasks with an extremely long time are my favorite. Whenever it's "Do (something). You have 12 weeks" I know it's gonna be good
This was my favourite Asim moment, and his reasoning was top tier too. Dave loves to repeat stuff and makes great original content!
Oh look, there's actually two tasks for the price of one here!
I really like Tim’s, it’s just a pity it didn’t work out
Maybe he should have hired a skywriter or a plane to pull a big banner?
@@OriginalCaliKitty He's not Moneybags Murray.
@@HellHunter00 Such services are relatively cheap, for someone in his line of work. Depending on duration of flight and size of the campaign. For just a short demonstration it will be just a few hundred.
Probably Asim's finest moment
Russel sure squandered that opportunity.
This being released after Sam Reich's photo with Alex Horne made my heart dropped before I realized it was actually just a task video
I'm hoping that the timing is deliberate - because a big announcement is forthcoming. 🤞🏻
sam reich? where omg?
@acookie7548 I saw on Tumblr!
who is sam reich? (before anyone roasts me i googled him already but i don't understand the context of what the announcement you thought could be)
please can you explain this idk what it means
Taskmaster should do something similar to tiebreaker tasks - have each contestant do an additional task and save it for the eventuality of championships or returns. Would be a love letter to the audience to, years later, give them additional content from their favorite guests
Even if they never return
i miss the reaction cutbacks to the contestants :(
then again, i want every second of taskmaster filmed to be released, so...
I just learned that shrimp and prawn are two different species of animal, and not two different words for the same animal.
In your research did you come across the fact that there is no "Boston Bay Bug"?
Having read your comment, I just learned this too.
Alex: Name 3 colours
Russell: Eggs!!! 🤣
isnt eggshell technically a defined colour? XD
@@SharienGaming More like saying off white, it's meaningless without any additional definition. You could also argue if interior design phrasing has anything to do with color theory, but as a cartoonist I'm more accepting of paint blends then just the light spectrum.
@@insaincaldo i wonder if they would have accepted hex-colour codes XD
@@SharienGaming They should, but any contestant using them would probably have to clear up some initial confusion.. and be deemed a colossal nerd if they actually mentioned any specific colors, after stating the codes as answer.
@@insaincaldo maximum nerd cred power! XD
tho in the end it depends on what greg says
My announcement:
I'm Gregnant! I'm going to name my child Alex in honour of Greg (the father)
Can u get pregante?
Love the double task edit!
How did Alice only get 2 points and how did Liza get any points at all? She didn't actually do the task. And I say that as someone who loves Liza.
Assim should be disqualified, America isn't a country, it's the United States of America, plus England isn't actually an independent country either. Italy, yep that's a country, Germany too. So if Italy and Germany are allowed, then England isn't.
@@Beckford4000 Huh
@@Beckford4000 you're too much into semantics
@@Beckford4000 Think ur on the wrong video mate but England is definitely a country, and America is definitely an acceptable way of saying the USA. Everybody would class Mexico as a country even though it should be the United States of Mexico.
@@Beckford4000Since 1922, the United Kingdom has been made up of four countries: England, Scotland, Wales (which collectively make up Great Britain) and Northern Ireland (variously described as a country, province, jurisdiction or region)
Asim's was a great move. Underrated TM moment
The way this show makes extraordinary people seem so normal and average and bad at daily tasking is just perfect!
Oh I miss these guys, wish they'd gotten more than 10 episodes
This was the first series that had 10 episodes
Nah. By far the weakest cast of the Dave era
@@randomdude8790 oh haha well it surely felt like less but you're right
I still can't believe Liza tanked that live task. I get audience pressure and all that, but naming all the continents is easy to do in a matter of seconds, let alone just 5 of them.
Unless you've made a point of looking up what constitutes a continent, it's not all that obvious. Is it Europe and Asia, or Eurasia? North and South America, or the Americas? Australasia, or just Australia? Does Antarctica count? And of course, a lot of people think Africa is a country.
@@echidna8159It’s 7. N & S America, Europe, Asia, Africa, Oceania. The only country that combines Europe and Asia into Eurasia is Russia because they want to invade it all because they are pusses.
@@echidna8159 I don't think any of those are real issues outside of the Antarctica debate
@@echidna8159But she started with Asia and Europe, then Antarctica. Either or both of the Americas plus Africa and you're good. There isn't a particularly significant debate over what makes a continent, not because the definition makes any sense, but because it defies sense to the point that...well, why NOT seven?
@@valerielevasseur8674 Oh, absolutely, getting those three and forgetting America and Africa is odd. I was responding to the idea that "naming all the continents is easy to do in a matter of seconds," having attended a pub quiz where several teams and the question-setter couldn't agree on what they were called, or even how many there were.
Welp, Tim is no Max Fosh.
please get henning wehn on here
Ooh good shout, never thought of that but yeah I think he’d be great. Fingers crossed!
@@TonyTheYouTuba i'm not sure who else i'd LOVE to go on tbh, any suggestions?
@@darkhatter Ed Byrne is a must, Andy Parsons would be great, too. Alan Carr would probably be hillarious. And I would quite like to see Graham Norton for the New Years-one off.
@@TetraDax these are all sick suggestions i never thought about alan carr or graham norton before but they're both great, i'd love to see david mitchell too
Richard Ayoade!
....it was a track suit
Asim and Tim deserved their points, everyone else should have got 1
Russell's was particularly bad though. I mean, even he was perfectly happy to come last.
Tim didn’t complete his announcement though. If he completes it, he should get 5 points.
Heck, he got 2 weeks. If he failed on the airport, make one in his own garden or somewhere else.
Quickly Google Max Fosh Gatwick and you’ll find an actual funny comedian that can make a sign outside of an Airport and not get stopped by the police.
@@travelingparadise2823 Nah, I think he should have gotten 2-3 points only since he didnt complete it. Had he completed it, 4 points.
Russell obviously last cause, as his mother said, no one was listening! xD
And yeah, pretty sure he set it up like that :p dont think the cops arrived by the time he made 2 letters only either hehe..
Alice's was good. I would have thought it came 2nd since Tim didn't finish.
Tim's outfit is as good as dracula now
This couldve been so interesting
I am interacting with the content
Wait... isn't prawns and shrimp the same thing? Alice is disqualified. Also, Joe's feet didn't touch the red Green.
Prawns and shrimp are different animals. When prepared and cooked, they are very similar, so the names are used interchangeably for food, but they're both different categories of crustaceans.
8:20 England, America - are those countries? Really? 🤔
You're too much into semantics. It's an entertainment show ffs not a quiz show.
Also from Wiki -
The United States of America (USA or U.S.A.), commonly known as the United States (US or U.S.) or America, is a country primarily located in North America.
England is a country that is part of the United Kingdom. The country is located on the island of Great Britain
yes, both are indeed countries - hope this helps!
Last time I checked, England has been a country since 927, and America has been one since 1776.
@@rachelcookie321 that’s United States of America, USA if you don’t want to use the whole name. America is a continent ;)
@@krissdev no, North America and South America are continents. In English America refers to the country. An American refers to someone from the country of America, they’re not called United States of Americans.
This task was completely squandered by these five. It's sad because it had lots of potential.
The forgot to cut the clip at 6:20
That predicting how many times you can say in the category was a pretty stupid idea.
Sometimes I think every contestant absolutely nails their task and that everyone should get five points. This was an across the board fail in my books. 😂
well that twitter joke sure soured over time
I thought this was a new taskmaster announcement for winner of winners or loser of losers or something :')
One of those categories is not like the others lol
I have no idea what is considered a crustacean. I would have said crab and then been stuck.
eggs
AN
🤣😂🤣😂🤣
4 points to Tim, who didn't make an announcement at all and 2 points to both Alice and Lisa who did. Even Russell technically made an announcement even though no one cared or listened.
At the time, I thought it was unfair, seeing as Tim never completed the task at all
Tim technically failed, but at least he made an effort. Liza's is borderline, but Russell's "be quiet" is categorically not an announcement: it's a command
“You have 10 seconds to name 3 colours”
“…………eggs”
the vegan thing, we were all thinking well vegans do that all the time
Twitter, once the public town square, became the public toilet after Musk's ascension from the nether realm
You guys should try Taskmaster USA with William Shatner and Danny Davito as contestants. Or call it "Super Taskmaster" because there is too many hollywoods in it so can only afford 1 to 3 episodes.
Both England and America arent even countries, lol.
They most definitely are and have been for hundreds of years.
Keep crying over semantics
Great, I hope he stays with the veganism 💚
🤦♀️
@@Tao_Tology Let people be vegan.
He didn't. He literally didn't even stay vegan for the whole episode. It was just a bit.
@@antorseax9492 He isn't and didn't.
@@Chocomint_Queen Damn 😕
Oi! Make Series 13 available for UK viewers on YT already, you flisms!
If you can't watch it in the UK - use a VPN.
America isn’t a country. He probably meant to say United States of America.
America is a common term for the USA. It's no different to saying France, Spain or Italy.
@@DJCube1701 except that it is. The Spanish or French don’t selfishly bastardized the name given to 3 continents (North, Central, South)
@@Redbeard6969 , Central America is a region in North America, not its own continent, so I don't think we can trust anything you have to say regarding geography. America is a country. Spain's official name is Kingdom of Spain, so you got that wrong too. France's official name is French Republic, so that's another one wrong for you.
@@SgtSupaman using your logic-or lack thereof, we can’t trust anything you say either. Whether a country is a kingdom or a republic makes no difference in the case you mentioned. They’re the ‘kingdom of’, the ‘republic of’ too bad, eh?
@@Redbeard6969 , the point flew so high over your head that a ladder wouldn't even help you at this point. Those are the official names of those countries. If there is no country named "America", then there is no country named "Spain". The official names of those countries are "United States of America" and "Kingdom of Spain".
If you, personally, refuse to accept an official shortened name, then you must refuse them all. So, by your logic, "Spain" isn't a country, "France" isn't a country, "Russia" isn't a country, "China" isn't a country, "Australia" isn't a country, and so on and so on. They all have longer official names that people don't use in common conversation.
Bit disappointed they missed the fact that america isn't a country. Could have been fun.
America is a country.
America isn't even a continent. United States would be an acceptable wrong answer for still being too short.
So if he said "Australia", you would disqualify him for not saying "Commonwealth of Australia"? If he said "China", you would disqualify him for not saying "People's Republic of China"? If he said "Liechtenstein", you would disqualify him for not saying "Principality of Liechtenstein"?
America is a country. You know exactly what country is being referred to, because that is a name used specifically for that country and only that country.
On the countries question, he missed. American is not a country, the correct name is the United States of America. American is the name of a region of the world that includes a number of countries.
Single word shortenings of countries are generally accepted. Germany, Italy, Ireland, Spain, France, Belgium and many more all have longer "official" names, just like America.
Why are so many people so clueless about this? "America" is absolutely an acceptable alternative name for "United States of America". Would you likewise disqualify the name "Russia" for not being called "Russian Federation"? Or "Sweden" for not being called "Kingdom of Sweden"? The vast majority of countries have longer official names than what are typically used in common conversation. America is a country.
@@SgtSupaman The difference is that technically speaking 'America" can justifiably refer to any nation in North and South America. In casual speech is not used that way, but this exact issues is one that's raised by Latin American countries on a regular basis..
@@earthknight60 , no, actually. Technically speaking, "America" is an actual name for only one country in the entire world. I challenge you to find any source that refers to any country besides United States of America as "America".
@@SgtSupaman
You are unclear on common use vs actual definition, and are ignoring the point about Latin America that I raised.
CZcams doesn't like links in comments, so here is the start of an Atlantic Article from 2013 discussing this *exact* issue.
What Does 'American' Actually Mean?
In Latin America, "American" means anyone from the American continent. U.S. citizens claiming the word are considered gauche or imperialist. So what's the solution?
Well I'm just going to assume it's Americans in the comment section saying America isn't a country.
America is not even a country.
Is America a country though? USA is different to america and even America isn't anything, it's either north or south America.
It’s well understood that America is the slang for the US. It’s North America, Central America, South America, and the Americas but the singular America is for the country.
No one from he US calls it America. We call it The US
@@glenjamindle What? Yes we do....
From wiki - The United States of America (USA or U.S.A.), commonly known as the United States (US or U.S.) or America, is a country primarily located in North America.
@@glenjamindle , are you even from America? That is definitely what we call it here.
"America" isn't a country.
The most common meaning of "America" in English is the United States of America, which definitely is a country. You can argue all you want that it should exclusively be used to refer to the Americas, but it's not. There's no such thing as an 'incorrect' way to use language, bar some specific circumstances like legal documents, so long as you clearly get your point across to those you're trying to communicate with, which Asim did, hence why he was given the point.
@@felixroux Nah
@@felixroux Would that argument stand had he said 'Murica'? The most common meaning and the point getting across clearly might both be satisfied?
@@FlailingJunkDon’t be a prat. America is the commonly accepted phrase to refer to the US.
@chrisjones5411 OK I'm sorry.
America isnt a country :P
Bruh, America isn't a country.
Yes it is
But…America isn’t a country, it’s a continent….
America is a set of two continents, not a country, right?
(Yes I know the US of A is colloquially known as America in most places but damn it I wish that weren't the case)
In English, if you want to refer to both North and South America, it's The Americas (i.e. plural). However, that term isn't used much nowadays as the individual continent names are a more useful distinction.
America. Not a country. :)
Lisa Tarbuck, Nepotism personified
America isn’t a country
Yes it is
America is not a country, is a continent, he should have lost!
boo, America is not a country. Assumptions were made.
Worse, the next subject was continents, and simply saying America would still be a wrong answer.
Incorrect, America is in fact a country, America is a common way of referring to the USA
'a common way'. As I put, assumptions were made. @@saoirsedeltufo7436
America is not a country, Asim should have failed that.
America conversationally refers to the USA. Ask 90% of the people on earth and they’ll know what you mean when you say America.
Arguably it’s not a continent either since it’s either North America and South America
America is typically used to describe The USA. North America is the continent.
It's funny that Liza didn't mention America btw. If she had said North and South America she would have passed.
Neither is England.
@@Beckford4000 England is a constituent country of the UK (a country within a country).
