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. - Komedie
If Rhod Gilbert was part of this task, I would legitimately fear for Alex's life.
Or Lisa tarbuck. She made him sit on a cake as an expression of love.
Or Sally Phillips, the absolute psychopath
Or Hugh
Or *shudders* james acaster
Well, Alex, this is less of an apology and more of a eulogy.
"Welcome to your new life" was truly the best part of that for me.
I also loved how casually she mentioned scientology
@@frostelemental2079 Scientologists do NOT let you just walk away
@@palontryys this is true
source: i'm L. Ron Hubbard
E
An absolute crime that this doesn't include who won/lost
sorry
And clearly Lou won.
They better give us the best apology
Lou 5 points, Iain 4 points, Sian 3 points, Joe 2 points, Paul 1 point.
That would make this the worst crime... Clearly the Taskmaster gets 10 points.
"The jazzercise lady was very nice,"
"Wendy? Yeah I know"
I had to replay it
I don't know what made me laugh harder, Alex's wife saying he was "quite the reverse" of the nude photo, or the actual look of annoyance on Alex's face when he started talking about all the things Lou gave his number to
Literally the same facial expression that he always has in these. What the fuck are you on about.
OMG subscribing Alex to Scientology has got to be the worst lol
Hope it not real tho
Nah, the Real Estate Agent would have been the worst.
@@howardbaxter2514 It's not real estate, just regular estate which is talking about wills and the finance side of death. (I know this is 1 year late lol)
E
I love how all the guys do like stupid, mischievous things and the girls just commit like psychological warfare
Lou signed Alex up for Scientology, once they even think you're remotely interested they will go out of their way to make sure you receive some kind of invitation in every conceivable way.
Are you talking about Scientologists or Real Estate Agents there at the end?
@@howardbaxter2514 It could certainly apply to both.
I would love that... *This means war!*
Knowing Alex has a major hand in designing all the challenges. Don't know if he is sadistic or masochistic.
Worse. He's a comedian.
Weird as it is, they're not mutually exclusive
E
Alex trying to not break character for 10 minutes straight
Greg Davies should’ve won the whole thing just for his comment about Alex’s wife
He didn't apologize, tho. That's the important part of the task.
@@scrungybingus285 but big testicles
He is what you would call a "rantallion". Someone with testicles longer than the d
@@Bhalforii In sweden we'd call it PLÄP (Pung Längre Än Penis/testicles longer than penis)
@@fleecefoxes6471 Sannerligen
*Guy walks in with pie and guitar*
Me: "Oh, an apology pie, how nice..."
How wrong was I...
i mean he was going to smash alex with either one of those, it better be the pie
"I baked you a pie!"
"Ooh, what flavour?"
"Pie flavour."
*sick guitar riff*
I don't think an apology works well when you are laughing your head off.
On the Danish version of this task, one contestant set "our Alex" 's car for sale online for a very favorable price. At the time the show took place he had just recently changed his phone number because people kept calling about the car.
I was really scared that chocolate was a poo...
SAME! she mentioned poo and I was quite frightened for him.
me too
Like that chocolate cake in "The Help"
"What can I do with a poo?" has to be up there with other iconic TM lines.
yea! and then she commented that he smells nice and I said, "uh-oh! what has she got there!"
"Wendy, yes."
That part got me good. Great task.
Alex is such a sport.
Yes. But oh well he himself writes the task so.. 😆
It's his show sooo...
the way alex looked genuinely confused and annoyed when greg casually described his red car as "horrible"...peak television. chefs kiss. wow.
Honestly, this is what is pushing me through this quarantine
same
seym
This had me confused for a moment because I thought some #Hometasking things got mixed up.
Me too and I thought, “Nooooooo, he’s our hero!!!!!”
This should totally be a home task
@@plagiats No. Have you ever heard of "SWATting"? It was a prank some people did to streamers by calling in a bomb threat or reporting gunshots from the streamer's house. Then the police raid the place on camera, wasting the police's time and traumatizing the streamer. czcams.com/video/r-RKekFOSIQ/video.html
People are nuts.
Same i was getting ready water for fake tears
Same. I wondered if people were going to use printed photos of him or we were going to be given a particular image of him to digitally desecrate or similar. And then one person kind of did that. 😆
"what can I do with a poo"... the age-old question.
Imagine if this had been a series 7 task... shudder to think what Rhod might've done haha
Probably actually hit him with the javelin haha
he'd just've hit him with something and then handed him fifty pound.
there's got to be some sort of special contract for the amount of s*** Alex goes through.
Alex (and, I think, his buddy Tim Key) devise the tasks. It's Alex's show. Greg Davies is actually the trained monkey. When I found that out, that Alex really runs everything, and that Greg laughs about how "into" the part he gets, I loved them both more.
I always think , poor alex, but he helps devise the tasks . hahahaah
@@kendrameinerthodson500 The role of the taskmaster is still very much created by Greg though. He invented that character based on Alex wishes. Whilst Alex is completely in control of the tasks, the studio show is equally much planned out/improvised by both of them.
@@Zippochey Yes, better put. I love the outtakes and 'behind the scenes' interviews that allow glimpses of the interplay between them. It's a genius combination.
@@kendrameinerthodson500 wait wait, the hidden final boss is the midboss all along? God damn that's some JRPG level shit.
Men: (create small amount of bother, relatively easily resolved)
Sian: (humiliates Alex)
Lou: (creates electronic havoc for Alex)
In terms of "worst thing", I think Sian and Lou are clear winners.
They have a better idea than worst thing.
I was expecting cut off limbs, murdered pets, burned down houses, and the like. Clearly none of the contestants have any imagination when it comes to coming up with "the worst possible thing". The only thing stopping outright murder, is that the task states the apology has to be given _to_ him, and not that you can do something _as_ apology (like, say, attend his funeral, maybe even chip in some money for it).
@@feha92 You know being in taskmaster does not absolve you from federal laws right? Implied in every task is "without breaking the law".
@@ObjectsInMotion So you suggest they should take him to international waters first?
If they don't want such things to happen, they simply should not use the kind of language as "worst _possible_"
@@feha92 i'm not sure if you're sarcasic or not. if you are, have an upvote. if you're not...
Fun fact: taskmaster was cancelled after the second series but Alex brought it back out of his own pocket so he could explain that drunk text to Greg
I keep saying, poor alex every week. but hes the one setting the tasks. hahaha love him more and more each episode. love the bloopers on that UK channel too.
Gotta hand it to Alex Horne. He found a way to torture himself and get a major television network to pay him for it.
This show seems like it’s made to destroy alex as much as possible!
Wrost of all he the creator of the show.
It's alex's show, he took the position of 'servant', but is really the one in control. The taskmaster is just a face :P
self-deprication works like a charm.
@@jomarcenter Creator, writer, producer, EP.
imagine if Rhod had to do this task. He dit much worse stuff to Alex without having to
All of them are more creative and TV-friendly than I would have been.
Signing him up for scientology could be considered invoulentary murder
Sian is just adorable.
"Not available in your country" .... hmmm.... I'm in the UK
Vpn?
Check your country location settings. I'm not sure how to get to them, but I know I had to set mine when I first got my computer. Hope that helps
Oh, watched it. Vpn to USA. Done. Just a bit of a pain.
@@murk1e Try Ireland next time. Closer.
I'm sorry for reading your notes, Alex.
The clipboard says "do not read these notes" XD
Full Task? I think not! Where are the results!?!?!?!
They never post the result
I mean, they do in the full episodes
I love Alex's look to camera at 8:43. He knows this isn't going to go well.
Nothing is better than a man who plays the violin like a guitar
Everybody asks "where's alex?"
But nobody asks "how's alex?"
I would've shaved a part of his beard than apologized by chopping a part of my hair
Feeling very American right now, I can't tell if these are celebrity guests or normal people?
They're celebrities, they're all comedians
British game show TV has an incredible culture of having like 100 British comedians who all just go around staring on each others comedy game/talk shows where sure, there's game show rules, but really everyone's there to be the funniest.
yeah, we kind of prefer our TV people to be like that odd guy who's a friend of a friend. can't be bothered with that 'taking celebrity seriously' thing.
I'm from Sweden and we have something similar here, it's called "bäst i test" (btw I do not have a clue of who any of these people are but they're kinda funny?)
@@timefortimbo Korean TV culture is also similar, with largely the same Korean comedians rotating between the numerous variety shows in Korean TV.
"Make Alex sign a contract to host Taskmaster"
Read the end credits, Alex IS taskmaster
gentle giant is the face, alex is the brains. perfek combination
@@idleidol5184 Yes I know that
I'm never getting over the picture of Alex xD oh my god this is why I love this show!
The guy eating everything in the fridge probably had a comfortable time in the *toilet* :))
This was probably my favourite task on the whole show
Plot twist: the Alex is dead video was more than 20 minutes long.
love how alex was worried she might have over done it and sent it to other people.
"Do not read these notes" lol
*Reads the task. Looks at the camera* "I lost."
i wouldve taken a gallon of gas and burnt the word "SORRY" into the lawn. The terrible thing IS the apology! :D
Paul robbing the fridge makes me happy to live alone
Heard the task, and my first thought was alright who is gonna take their clothes off.
Kids watching this 10 years from now are going to be wondering what all these quarentine comments are about
Joshua Hughes we don’t have 9/11 in our schools
@@woofwoof9796 you are probably from the countries supporting the terorists then
spaghetti gum nah more like europe, and that prediction was fairly offensive
@@woofwoof9796 i live in europe and we have a minute of sillence
spaghetti gum I didn’t know that, being in different parts makes school systems different. Still my point is that not being in a countries politics doesn’t make me a terrorist country. I agree that 9/11 was an unfortunate event but honestly most of my knowledge about it is through the internet or a couple of tv programs. The judgement you made was a bit too fast and based on invalid proof. (Speaking in english makes me shy or savage, sorry if anyone got offended by me)
That was so delightful. Poor Alex.
Feels bad man seeing Alex get screwed over when he is my favorite person on the show.
Hopefully you'll feel a bit better knowing that Alex writes the tasks and is the show's creator, producer, and EP. He's in complete control, which I think is what makes the show work.
I want to see the "Ignore a hello from Alex" guy doing this
One of the best tasks of all time!
Mai N if that’s the best, I won’t bother watching any more.. that was crap .. British tv gone downhill since I left
I want to hear the ideas they had that couldn’t be used or even said in the final edit.
0:30 Same
That's not life ending surely? "...and Scientology."
Welcome to your new life indeed...
Alex and Greg deserve The Nobel prize for almost keeping us sane thru this quarantine CRAP!
Pretty sure Alex’s Ford car was a sponsor and Greg fucked up by saying it was horrible.
1:00 that's how my neighbour's door bell sounds like 😂😂
waited for someone to just walk in like "I'm really, really sorry about this, but it's a competition and I have to. It has nothing to do with you and I genuinely think you're a great bloke so it really pains me to do this..." then just punch him in the face
Sian's laugh is unbearably adorable
When he started playing the guitar I hoped he was gonna sing " is it too late to say sorry "
King of quarantine, tiny little alex
Series 8 has been my favourite so far
I really thought someone was just going to smash his phone
man... the first thing I would have asked is "where is alex's car"
I'm not even lying. But Ian's song is stuck in my head and I keep singing it at work😅🙈❤️
I want more 😭
Ian one was awesome hahaha.
Even tho its so obvious what hes gonna do but its still so hilarious
I am going to use this as an apology.
Ah, he's a good guy.
Sign him up, with his phone, for all those programs, which is kind of nice. As a final sincere apology, though, you give him a nice tall glass of water. With his phone in it.
Joe legit started strumming a violin
"Horrible red" he says whilst sitting in a bright red chair in the reddest room that he was in charge of choosing.
I wonder if anybody will ever eat eat jam with their fingers again, post-corona
Someone should’ve put some laxatives in a cup of tea, give it to Alex on the pretext that it’s an apology gift, then sing him a little song outside the toilet, within which is a scented candle and toilet paper with “I’m Sorry” printed on it.
i would have asked for his phone and rang his wife asking for a divorce
i just would have buy him a burger king meal. that's enough apology
"Alex, I just pied you in the face."
The US definitely went “bang bang, this land is cool! We’ll take it”
lou won by far I love her
Poor Alex
I clicked on the video and was like "I hope smeone used his phone to play a send-to-all prank" and maybe apollogize by saying that it is actually the second message to everyone and the first on was a prepare yourself for a prank message from me.
poor alex!! totally hilarious tho!
My first thought was ordering two pies. Using one to smash over his head and down his pants the second to apologize
Look, you make a distraction bit ready, so the next thing really does look like a serious thing. So this is what you do: Come up to alex and start apologizing for a thing stupid enough to get him just a bit crossed and then you start acting like you are about to have a heart attack/ panic attack/ just whatever involves fainting or generally tends to make people worried about your safety, And at the end apologize and say that its for the show. And then you go on for tge rest of your life knowing you absolutely fucking crushed the task AND scared Alex shitless
Imagine if rod was in this season lol
Bake a sweet cake, offer it as an apology, stuff it with laxatives
When you know that Alex creates all the challenges it makes you wonder if he is a masochist.
the emojis sian sent with the "come to momma" makes the whole thing so much worse imo....just imagine greg getting that text uhfjhdskfh im getting chills from second hand embarassement
I thought that one guy with the fridge was about to throw up on him or something XD
that one guy looks so like Manuel Noriega
“Horrible red” maybe this red is horrible because it’s orange?
Ok so I just have to say I absolutely love Greg Davies and every time we watch him my husband says your boyfriend is on😂😂 I have a thing for y’all men, my husband is 6’6” but it is hilarious because since we have been on quarantine my husband will randomly shout “Cushon” while I’m cooking or watching TV. I bust up laughing every time! And if you are a Greg Davies can you will understand this! Thank you for keeping us entertained during this time! Alex your awesome also!
Which means.. more points... for Lilly!
Brilliant
