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
"Very English brand of passive-aggressive that makes me wanna be violent to him" - just one of the all-time classic Taskmaster quotes that Fern casually came up with
I don't think I've seen a Scottish contestant yet that I didn't like. My favorite line is from Series 8, where Iain is teasing Sian about her being a "northerner", and she goes "I'm Welsh, you're more northern than me!"
And he cooly goes, "Ah yeah, that's right."
Iain is one of very few contestants that I just didn't like. Fern on the other hand was a delight. I'd love to see a Fern, Kearns and Lucy Beaumont TV show where they just do things in their own strange ways.
@@bearhustler add Bridget Moriarty and maybe Bob mortimer and you'd have the least efficient taskmaster show ever, and definitely the most riotous
Not the only time she's expressed her wish to be violent
@@bearhustlerhe wasn't great at the start, but he mellowed at the end. He was good, just to competitive & got anger when it didn't go his way
"You seem like you just eat roasts." Is one of the best insults ever on this show.
Is it an insult though?
@@deaconblooze1 seemed like it to me.
I feel like Julian’s beat her with “yeah, you would have a barbecue”.
@@glockenreinJulian has multiple every show, but that was best. With Julian, it's 100% intention, 0% the actual words spoken. With Fern, it's exactly the opposite. Both are a treat.
Idk because on the off menu podcast fern said she hates how everyone in the UK seems to love roasts because she thinks they're really bland. (Her off menu choices are top notch btw)
Fern being too excited to sleep before every task day is so genuinely wholesome lol
like a kid before a field trip
It's less wholesome when you find out it's because she has autism and lack of sleep leads to meltdowns.
I mean, she's wholesome. It's legitimate. It's just often not good. You should read her book.
@wiredforstereo Thanks for mentioning this. I haven't read her book yet but I'm eager to. It can be a very difficult world to navigate as an autistic adult.
@@jess.singswithleaves6 Don't I know it.
"Wait, did I meet these potatoes before?" is absolutely in the Taskmaster book of quotes.
"I cannae, they're covered in potatoes." She has a point. If not a felt tip.
Never has a contestant been so tired yet so funny.
Her only competition is James Acaster on Bake Off.
& Rob Beckett, especially on Surprise Alex.
To be fair: it's not Fern's fault that TM didn't provide her with enough potatoes.
or they gave her too many pens
She also asked for a bag (of potatoes)
She can slice the potatoes though.
she could have mashed them, would be easy to cover them then
she may have come (joint) last in the series, but she is the rightful queen of our hearts. top tier contestant.
I really hope they do a losers special someday, I'd love to see her compete again (hopefully with more sleep)
You left out my favorite moment: Greg tries to do a Scottish accent, then beats himself up for doing such a bad accent. Fern, very reassuringly, says “that’s ok. I can understand you.”
They left it out because it wasn't actually in the show, it was an outtake
“The obvious thing was to let the bird fly” gets me every time 😂
I need a supercut of Fern Brady saying 'Oh No'
There is one actually 😅
i literally got recommended that video right after this 😅
It's like Chris Ramsey's "No way"
Me, Fern Brady! Me, Fern Brady! I’m the rightful queen!
To this day, that line still is stuck in my head 😂
Sarah pulled on my heartstrings, but Fern deserved 5 points, too.
She used all the words really well!
That was the best song in my book.
18:20 They properly stitched Fern up for the final task! She asked for a big bag of potatoes, and they gave her a pile of loose ones. How much easier would it have been for her to cover the pens, if the potatoes had been in a sack, as she specified ....
(Gaaahh! I've been holding on to this for ages, it's taken them this long to clip that task!!!)
This is so true and may be the biggest TM injustice I can think of... they're usually good thinking of everything
this was one of the best series all the contestants were so hilarious
Yes in comparison current series 16 is kind of mild
Anything is better than series 15. That was a snooze fest.
Every series of TM is special in its own way. And each series has its special personalities. But Series 14 easily is in my top 3 favorites. (My favorites are 5, 7, and 14)
@@jackwang9536 5 and 7 yes they're my favorite too
@@ericadavenport2039 6 and 8 are easily worse than 15. 15 had some fun team dynamics
Damn, I love Fern!!! "Did I meet these potatoes before" is the best thing ever said by anyone in any circumstance.
Joe Wilkinson does not agree
Bob Mortimer: “Do.. do we strike you?”
I absolutely adore Fern Brady. It was only after the series that I found out she was autistic. I thought she was excellent and the second time around, you can pick up on certain cues or things that she does/says. What she’s been doing since the show aired is absolutely phenomenal, raising awareness about autism.
Her memoir is soooo good. I work with children with special educational needs (well, mostly their parents), and it really helped me understand them more.
Ah, that's why she felt so "familiar"... I didn't know
She’s just like me frfr
She wasn't "out" during the show but because the production asks if people have phobias or sensitivities before shooting, she was able to prevent many of her issues from cropping up. And she was able to be more herself than usual, which was met with laughs and not the normal weird looks.
"I'm an alien, dressed as a scottsman"
*everybody has no idea what to expect*
Fern is so relatable as a fellow autistic, love how she's educating folk about it too
Her book is fantastic, really brutal at times but as raw as it needs to be to put the point across.
I love Fern Brady, definitely one of my favorite contestants!
fern brady, james acaster, john wilkinson, rhod gilbert absolute legends!
Props to her for completing the series, she was very tired
Fern was completely robbed of the win for the song task. Undeniably the MVP of this season.
Dude, that song was a banger!!!
"If someone went 'oh, can you get me a green, felt tipped pen', you'd go 'I cannae, they're COVERED in potatoes'" is definitely one of my favorite taskmaster quotes.
19:16 Fun fact: they actually hired an actor to play a genie that was waiting in the garage for John to rub the lamp, but he never did it
I hope it was James Acaster
Other amazing Fern bits:
1) her snort, raspberry, whistle breakdown
2) her amazing self portrait
3) the dead chicken prize task
4) "where is it, where is it" while looking for the tiger's bum
5) laminator bifurcating poo
Let's be real, there's enough material for another Fern best-of video.
And you have to love her acting of Sarah's 1-minute play. That task was one of the best "performance" tasks ever, comparable to the song to Rosalind. It's a shared task with Sarah's playwriting, and it's a masterpiece. That entire task should have it's own video tribute someday.
The play and the self portrait should really be on here - they were such brilliant performances! That plus the masterpiece that is Me Fern Brady - gal's got talent.
@@somethingelse9176 I can understand why the play was left off this "best-of Fern" compilation. It was a 2-person task - Fern performed it, but Sarah wrote it. The acting was magnificent, but the writing was equally magnificent, so you can't put it in Fern's greatest hits without also including Sarah. Eventually, the 1-minute plays will be released in a video of its own, I hope. I think the 1-minute play was one of the greatest tasks ever done on Taskmaster.
Sarah's play with the cats was so beautifully written, and she explains on the TM podcast that the cats were the spirits of the people who had died in the old folks home. It must have been something that she's had personal experience with - maybe she's worked in one, or she has a loved one in an elderly home. It's such a powerful narrative of loneliness. And Fern treated this play beautifully - she knew it was such a good play and she put her heart into it. Masterpiece.
my Fave fern-ism is: to me, the obvious thing is to let the bird fly.
Every time Me Fern Brady Me Fern Brady leaves my head, it pops back up. It's like a hydra.
I think Fern won a lot of fans from this series. The whole cast was marvelous and so different to each other - and yet Fern was just that little extra bit endearing. Just a delight on the show.
Fern has said publicly she’s annoyed she didn’t get five points on the songwriting task, I agree with Sarah getting five because of the context and it made for a nice moment, but really Fern has won for me because at least once a day my brain will start going “here we are again series 14 who will be the house’s queen…” etc ❤
Fern, John, and Sarah all deserved 5 points for their songs, I think. I was singing about a naughty satsuma in the shower this morning lol.
I loved this series. This "best of Fern" did not include the 1-minute plays and Fern's magnificent acting of Sarah's play. I think I understand why. Someday that entire task should be a video of its own.
Fern immediately crawling into one of those tubes and getting distracted is very relatable to me
"i have no more sneezes for today" will forever be my favourite fern moment
Your comment is a good 100(?) comment's down the list, with very many giving their favourite Fernism that was left out - and so far I've agreed with all of them. So many more to include!
...Crashes more...
Dara: "Which aircraft..."
Fern: "... CRASHES MORE ..."
10:14 - 10:20 Absolutely the best horn sound I've ever heard from a person.
Holy shit yes!
OMG i loved Greg's little, "Dara youre not obsequious" and Dara's perfect reply of "Thanks Greg 🥰😊😊"
I don't know what's more disturbing, how much pleasure Fern gets out of torturing Alex or how happy it makes me to see her enjoying that so much.
I think my favorite fern moment is anytime she laughs and says “heee hee hee” kills me everytime
She is so random yet confident, I love her! That season was one of the best I must say.
Fern 'Wait did I meet these potatoes before' Brady! My favourite contestant of all time! I'm so glad John was also on this series too, because, those two together were hilarious. John, asking why the alien was shot and then nodding along like, "ah yes, of course" kills me every time. Peas in a pod.
Fern was an absolute legend on the show. Definitely a hall of famer.
Fell in love with Fern during this series!!! She's in my top 5 for sure for contestants
I can already hear the "Oah nooo!" in my head
_Wait, did i meet these potatoes before?_ just seems like such a taskmaster sentence
She was perfect for this show. One of the realest contestants ever.
One of the best contestants ever! More Fern please.
If you have the chance to see her live, do so. She's brilliant
How did she find the energy to star in a best-of?
You can't realistically make an abridged "Fern Brady's Best Moments" because you end up just having to rewatch every moment of the series. Also her song and the theme song lyrics task from series 9 get stuck in my head with unreasonable frequency
A people's champion, for sure.
the best autism representation. she's so funny
Her book - "Strong Female Character" - is an amazing read. It pushed me learn more about ASD...
That Scottish man costume is one of my favourite things I've ever seen.
One of the most loveable contestants on the show. Hell, on UK TV even.
Her autobiography is just as glorious as her task performances.
I'm nearly finished. It is so good, also so anger inducing for all the shit he's had to take her whole life.
“It is me Fern Brady, me Fern Brady, I’m the rightful queen!”
it has the "catch someone" monologue, so the best is there
"Wait, did I meet these potatoes before?" Is one of the funniest Fern Brady quotes.
Fern Brady's energy on TM is so refreshing! One of the best contestants of all time!
Need a john being hilariously incompetent compilation
Fern is my favorite contestant ever and her song is so good.
One of the best guests in Taskmaster history!
"I can't, they're **covered** in potatoes." omfg that gets me every time 🤣
i love watching dara question his reality because of her
I needed “who invented right and left and what’s it for?” to be in this compilation!!
You, a simpleton: "I guess I'll catch a boring ol' ball." Fern Brady, an intellectual: "Everyone will think of catching a fish so we'll save that as plan B"
I also appreciate how often she makes Alex laugh
I could spend my life watching the things that Fern's brain comes up with. It is one of the marvels of the universe.
Me too!! And I feel like we only get the half of it when she is on screen. I bet she has some really naughty crazy mischief in her brain when she is off screen.
Thank you TM for introducing me to Fern Brady. An all time fav contestant of mine!
Ive thought Fern was absolutely amazing that season, but during the classical music lyric task i just noticed she's wearing a casio digital watch. A real simple and basic time piece but a workhorse at the same time. I had one for something like 6 years before the strap broke off and i lost it. I miss that watch.
All hail Brady Queen of Scots 👽👸🏻
Fern Brady and Mike Wozniak. May be my top 2 contestants of all time.
Every fern moment is the best fern moment
She is probably my favorite contestant of all time ❤
Me too
24:23 “I cannae they’re covered in potatoes”
Another excellent compilation of an excellent contestant on one of my favorite series of Taskmaster. I think this video could be doubled in length because she had so many terrific moments. :) (Her laughter while semi-torturing Alex in those rubber tubes is pure joy.)
Taskmaster uploaded a video.
Oh yes.
*Fern's best moments.*
Oh no.
Love Fern! She's hilarious.
The autistic glee of Fern in the first task. I would have done exactly the same. XD
Probably my favourite contestant, and definitely the best costume!
Fern seems to be a bit unhinged and I ducking love it.
Fern Brady: Oh no?!
I love Fern! She has a menacing but innocent vibe 😂
I totally agree with this. She is both adorably cute and mischievously filthy. I don't know how she manages it
@@jaydee3216 yeah! She's like a tiger cub that is just on the edge of being old enough and big enough to be lethal, but is still adorable so you're like "i want to pat it but I'm scared to get any closer."
@@danmoar94 this is the best metaphor I have heard. Apart from the fact I don't find tiger cubs exceptionally sexy but I do Fern. Haha. I totally get the vibe though. It's spot on. Fancy discussing her more sometime?
The rightful queen
Her laugh of pure joy at 3:49 forcing Alex to drink Ketchup. 😊😊
airport costume envy is the worst
Wait, did I meet these potatoes before?
Love Her! She’s definitely one of my favourite contestants that’s been on the show, I hope I see her live one day.
Dara looks literally in so much pain when Fern discusses her alien/fancy dress idea
Task master should have a hall of fame contestants and Fern needs to be on that list
Her laugh tickles my brain.
I just love her so much. One of the all time great contestants.
This is exactly what I've been waiting for
Every moment of Fern is just so special
Ooo noooooo, Fern is so adorable!
John's football that he caught was thrown by his Dad's hands.
It’s amazing - I hadn’t heard of Fern until sunday where she magically appeared in my youtube feed, and now I love her
I love the way Fern Brady thinks. 💗
love this! she was one of my favorite contestants🥰
The fact that she found it obvious that the bird should fly over the caravan is just so sweet 😭😍
One of the best shows ever made
I feel like “what use would he have been” is an underrated quote from Fern
2:50 her chuckle, as she pelts Alex in the eye, is the greatest.
I've seen all these before and they just don't get old, ever!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
