    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.

    Something that hadn't dawned on me until this rewatch, Nish is so willing to be the butt of a joke. On the basketball task when they showed the clip of him chipping it in, he started celebrating in the studio like Joe Wilkinson did when he threw the potato into the golf hole. The difference is, Nish did this KNOWING full well how badly he'd fucked it and just willingly committed to the bit so the punchline would be that much better. What a hero.

If I wanted to use my own wax seals, I'd do it the modern (glue gun) way. Which, incidentally, if you haven't encountered glue-gun sealing wax - it's a really nice way to get into sealing wax (supposedly mail sorting machine resistant, although I have yet to test that) and relatively low fuss. It does tend to tie up a hot glue gun, though.

    The Special Cuddle task is one of my favorites in the history of Taskmaster. Each of their cuddles were completely unique.
    Sally: Sociopathic
    Aisling: Disturbing sex robot
    Mark: Nervous romantic energy
    Nish: Traditional cuddle with a softer head rest
    Bob: Kidnapping victim

      Noel has a reputation for being wacky and whimsical and strange in that way, and he definitely is and can be - hell, he was a radioactive skeleton for most of the Season 4 tasks - but he's honestly such a teddy bear. The finale of Season 4 was amazing because by that point, everybody in the cast had clearly bonded and had an excellent time. Everybody won at least once, even Hugh and Lolly, who looked like they were the bottom-feeders from the start, and their reactions and celebrations were true "underdog story" moments. Mel, Noel, and Joe were over the moon for them.
      Seeing Noel and Mel hug and cuddle constantly throughout Season 4, plus all of them just sharing a good time by the end, meant that a heavy dose of the whimsicality and wackiness was pretty sidelined by how much fun, games, and love was going on in the room, especially with the message Lolly wrote next to her duck.
      Now, everybody in THIS cast was going for sheer psychopathy or at least severe mental illness off-the-bat and god is it just as delightful.

    I come back to this series the most I think (even though I also really love acaster's) because the comedic chemistry in this group is honestly next level. Bob and Sally are iconic and make my cheeks hurt from smiling so much

    Oh man, "No Handjobs" written on the cuddlebot.
    Further, why didn't anybody knock over the basketball hoop or at the very least lower it?
    Further further, some suggestive language from Alex when reading the final times...
    Sally slid it in
    Nish poked a pear (pair) in
    And finally, it's a good thing Bob won, or that operatic singing of the winner's name to the tune of the TaskMaster theme would have sounded pretty silly.

      I had the same thought, but some of those bases are filled with a bunch of sand or water so they don't accidentally flip over.
      Would've been nice to see one of them try though.

    Every season has its moments, but this will forever be my favorite because of the amazing chemistry between all the contestants. They feed off each other so perfectly in the prize tasks and the live tasks and the teams are of course legendary. Just the perfect season.
