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
I love that despite Sarah figuring out the workaround of spilling the bottles, she would have won anyway since she spent the most time chatting.
I thought she was going to pour the milk on the microwave and short the whole thing out!
9j
She was responsible for the rotten stench in the room
I can't help but wonder how Mike Wozniak would have handled this task? Perhaps he would have simply drank all the milk.
Tick tock it's milk o'clock
Maybe we would've heard his hemorrhoid pop
Guzzle the stuff
@@RioRav No, that's hemorrhoid o'clock
Absolute bloody milk guzzler
'Wait what, what wait' will now be my new exclamation of confusion as I confront life going forward.
It's important to know which direction you're going.
... what was it before? it's fairly standard as a confused statement
The secret signal for TM followers:
when you are out in public, you utter the phrase "Wait, what?"
.....and wait to see if any TM followers are nearby as they give the reply "What, wait"
And an excellent one at that.
@@iamdb1990 it was a sorry look of befuddlement followed by a short, angry hiss and the utterance of the sentence 'I am terribly confused.'
Alex is a genius, he always puts something obvious right in front of everyone and they never notice. The bucket was a great finish.
“Wait what? What wait… Wait What?”
- Dara O Briain, the best quote of this season 😂
that and "Ooh ma baby" were Dara's greatest quotes
I just know they added the 30 minute time limit in order to avoid another Correos occurrence
what happened
@@TylerTheTiler from TM NZ series 2 (I think) - they didn’t have the time limit there, so David somehow managed to stall so long that the camera crew left and went to lunch! 😂
@@emilieshomegarden3677 He didn't stall. He just listened to Paul (TA's) advice about not opening it yet because he wouldn't do it if he were the contestant.
@@TylerTheTiler David Correos was a contestant in New Zealand taskmaster who won this task after not opening the task for one and a half hours.
Pointing out the metal pot only at the very beginning and at the very end (to mention that pouring milk onto live electrical devices could have been avoided) was a genius little bit of storytelling. Chekov's metal pot.
The editing on Taskmaster is phenomenal. Sets it above any "reality show" which is exactly what it is, but performed by comedians and tied together into a panel show format with the stage tasks. Comic geniuses in the editing team.
I still don't think you could have led enough out in less than 30 secs
@@TheCyberSpidey a game show more than reality
Thank you, Taskmaster team, for getting me to think about the conductivity of milk and the relative danger/safety of pouring it on a plugged in microwave.
Well, she poured it over the front door. Not much electricity going on there. Still true though.
The timers look analog so the microwaves wouldn't have to be plugged in for them to work
@@Bonestar1989 No, but since the light is burning it is plugged in.
We all have to die anyway...
@@noldo3837 that doesn't mean getting electrocuted at age 47 from pouring milk onto a microwave is the ideal way to go
Now we know that no contestant trusts Alex. But few trusts Paul.
I think Paul comes off as more chill, while Alex often radiates anxiousness.
I mean, if Paul's not bothered by what's on the task, maybe I (as a hypothetical contestant) don't have to worry. Whereas Alex is very much harried by the task going on (rate of speech is faster, does little rocking on toes thing, etc), so maybe he's a liar who is stressed by trying to lie to me.
I think this one pairs really nicely with the NZ leave task. That one, maybe the contestants would perform similarly well -- other than most of them not being as concerned as Angela. Be nice to see.
i'd trust Paul more than i'd trust Alex tbh
When did Paul Chowdry come into the discussion?
Edit: I've since watched the New Zealand version
Watching this task the second time round, and I now see Alex trying not to laugh when Dara has his realization.
Since Alex said “I wouldn’t open that yet, if I were you,” I’d immediately ask “Well, when would you open it?”
As if that little weasel Alex would give out that much helpful info. He'd just go "Well not yet" over and over 😂
@@Francklyynnnn Imagine Alex and a contestant going back and forth like that for 27 minutes.
“Would you open it now?”
“No, not yet.”
He'd just reply "all the information is on the task"
Yeah. That would definitely be the conversation I would have with him. When should I open it, since you're giving out advice?
@@jenniferhanses7064 If you were me, would you wait until the peas are done in the microwave? Would you eat the peas? Would you do anything with the milk? Would you do anything with that bucket over there?
Given how long David spent on tasks (the caravan grape, the rapunzel shoelaces, this microwave milk), I think any time there’s a countdown timer added to a task to limit its potential maximum we should call it “The Correos Rule”
David?
@@SilverEye91 David Correos is a Kiwi comedian, he won this task in Taskmaster New Zealand. His time before the milk cartons touched the microwaves was roughly 90 minutes.
@@matt4812 Oooh! I've only seen a little bit of Taskmaster NZ, didn't know this task was originally on there!
@@SilverEye91 Yeahh, it was in season 2. Taskmaster NZ season 2 is, IMO, one of the best seasons of taskmaster out of any version of taskmaster. Well worth finding if you can
@@matt4812 I'll do my best!
Quite an interesting change on the task from the NZ one with the 0:00 rule (or that's just they didn't wanted to give a salad to one of the player).
I preferred the NZ count to infinity because in this one, the contestants should be worried about the time, in the original one, they shouldn't. I understand why they put this in so that they wouldn't have to sit around all day if a contestant really decided to listen to Alex, but it creates a two pronged problem, but the contestant isn't allowed to know about the other prong until they open the envelope, which they won't if they trust the TA.
@@jenniferhanses7064 I wonder if Alex was supposed to suggest to open the enveloppe 2 minutes before it goes 0:00.
It's a shame they'll never know how versatile potatoes are
A British twist on a New Zealand task.
OHHHHHH I was wondering why I recognised this.
Sorry, what was the twist?
@@travelwell6049 the was no limit on time in the NZ version, one player spent so long waiting the camera crew left for lunch.
@@travelwell6049 The timer hitting zero rule.
@@travelwell6049 In the NZ task you could theoretically * never * open the task envelope.
With the "disqualified if it gets to 0.00 " the contestants do have to open it at some point.
Sarah is just delightfully mischievous
I love that in her !
Sarah seems like the kind of person that would have helped clean up her mess or cleaned it entirely by herself.
I've always gotten a "hyper responsible" vibe from her despite all her joking around and such. Lotta respect for her.
No way. She's slobbish and lazy. She owns it, and that's why we like her. She definitely did not clean.
Probably wouldn't have thought of it that quickly, but you could've poured out the milk and smashed the microwaves on the ground and then just procede to stand between them with 1 empty milk bottle in each hand until the timer hits 00:01. Would've loved to see that, out of context that would look like a 30 second mental breakdown rampage.
I mean, I might had quickly figured out it is about going as close to the 0 mark as possible and then just wait till it was around a minute left or so and just then read the task and do it. In fact Alex did kinda give a hint to it "I wouldnt open it if I was you"
Exactly, idk if you could have led all the milk out in less than 30secs, but just how quick you can read & move, but how quick the milk can flow
The perfect comic timing of Alex's "Yuck." Wonder what he has against Rufus Wainwright?
Might be that he's fucking terrible
Why were there bread and peas in the microwave, was it just for fun and to misdirect? its going to haunt me
Are you trying to find a sense in nonsensical tasks?
Just to haunt both you and the contestants.
Alex's lunch
What’s wonderful is that this series has really divided the fans who’ve seen the New Zealand version and the fans who will have seen the New Zealand version by the end of the series 😂
This us why I won't watch the New Zealand version (or any other). I don't like knowing what's coming, in either direction. I like to be surprised. (And I'll always love Greg and Alex best.)
@@flippetskater Nah that's dumb. The NZ seasons are better than many UK seasons, and their tasks are more original too. It's UK that have stolen a couple of tasks from NZ as of late, but I'm pretty sure no UK tasks have shown up on NZ (at least, yet). Don't deprive yourself of good tv for no reason, season 2 in particular is excellent and season 1 is also really great.
@@jjcelever I said nothing about quality (and I didn't call anyone dumb for liking it), so untwist your panties. I'm sure it's great. It's just not for me.
@@jjcelever I wouldn't call it stealing
NZ version is a mere imitation and doesn’t compare.
This was such a good one. Then the call back in a later task when the room stank.
I am perennially tickled that Alex and co. keep coming up with new ways to confuse, thwart, and befuddle the contestants.
Thank the NZ team for this one.
@@esteban280889 And the NZ team can thank the UK team for the show. :)
they forgot to include the points at the end. you can't even tell who won
also I wish they'd have the task written out on screen once it's revealed
I can't believe that Sarah was the only one who thought to tip them out! But I'm not surprised she didn't think to ask for something to pour them into as it was designed to throw all the contestants out, then you've got panic with the thirty seconds. There's no time to plot or plan. Very devious this one 😊
Dara's fail is so much funnier when you watch it the second time around 🤣
I used to work with a guy who every time he received instructions, he would say "ok... Wait, what?". One time someone in the office recorded him saying it and made a house music track sampling the "wait, what?"
2:18 For some reason I also heard 'Last name?' like John did 🙄
I did too but on replaying I can't hear it at all 🤣
Probably the most brilliant task, absolute mind game from the second they walk in the door. Useless microwaves heating useless food at useless times. A Task strapped over a timer, irrelevant questions, everything designed to confuse and provoke. Apart from giving them the ability to 'outsmart', probably my favourite of all seasons...
Work around for the task;
Pick up the microwaves and put them on the floor, hip width apart, pick up milk bottles and hold them by your sides to maximise your time.
Stack them on top of each other and sit on them, bottles held in hands on legs over microwaves
Take the bowls from the microwaves and put them under the milk bottles.
Sarah is the best contestant this series.
Has Alex ever made people look for the task?
Just make them enter the room and look around for the task, and all he says is (obviously) “All the information is on the task.” Then they start doubting their sanity until they eventually find the task with the task “Find the task” on it.
@@chaoticneutral6288 A toilet seat, too.
John and Fern... Man I do love the mad ones.
Sarah is like the real life equivalent of Muriel from Courage the Cowardly Dog 😂
Am I the only who thinks Sarah is incredibly adorable?
Definitely not.
I agree from across the pond where watching incredibly adorable
+ funny people is just what I need.
love love love Taskmaster ❤️
I think it also helps that she has had yeeeears of success and recognition as a comic - she doesn't really care.
I love how they learnt from the NZ version of taskmaster...time limits hahahah
Who'd have bet money that the "Chatterbox" would have the longest chat before opening the task?
I just love this show and can't wait for it to be on SBS in Australia
Fern always stands like she needs a wee
She said it was very cold during her days and her outfit isn't exactly the most weather appropriate
she possibly did, I seem to remember her saying that going to the toilet was difficult in that costume
The staff watching that knowing they had to clean it up 🧍♂️
I swear i saw this task on the NZ taskmaster. I'm not sure which series or episode. But now I'm wondering how much involvement alex/UK team on the other versions of taskmasters.... did the UK team provided the tasks beforehand? Or in this case, the UK team actually "borrow" the task from NZ team?
From what I’ve heard I think it’s the second option!
Season 2 of NZ over a year a go. Sabotage from that season too. NZ have to write their own tasks, but if Alex likes it he will take it for UK.
I bow to Sarah's cleverness :)
Brilliant. I love the wit.
You cut the clip too early!
Yeah they totally skip the part about the studio being smelly because of the "lost" milk.
that really is just alex's lunch
I would have put the bread and peas on top of the microwaves, then just placed the milk on top of the platters and held onto them until there was 2 seconds left
"Wait, what?"
“What, wait?”
poor dara alex messed with him a lot
if this would have happened in the middle of them doing tasks and he kept saying if i were you for the rest of them would have been great
Stack the two microwaves on top of each other on the floor, sit on them with the milk bottles on your lap, watch the clock ⏰
What was up with the bread and frozen peas ??!!
This was not explained, addressed or even commented upon in the studio, or even the podcast!
Am I the only one who wants to know?
I mean, Alex did provide the metal pot so they could be emptied. It also didn't say you couldn't move the microwaves either. There was ample prep time.
Only if you knew what the task was. It could have been anything, like: "Stuff all the peas into the chicken and stuff both of them into the milk bottles"
There was only thirty seconds of prep time from the moment they opened the task.
@@Wolf6119 and it took roughly 10 of those seconds to read and comprehend the task.
Oh my, I think this is the funniest one I've ever watched.
Wait what?
What wait?
Wait what?!
I guess there's no point in crying over spilt milk.
2:08 "Window open it?"
That's 100% Alex fault for not pointing out the bucket when she asked him to open them. :D
I think the idea is that the ask for things themselves. He interferes as little as possible. What would be the point if he went in and just told them everything that was available to them?
Dave killed this task!
ohh noo looka my boots...
Like a constipated Eagle 😆
I've got sound but just a black screen...
i didn't understand the purpose of the microwaves
if Alex tells me he wouldn't open the task i simply wouldn't open the task
did UK do this task befor3 or aft3r NZ?
after
what happened to your E key?
Sarah was the smartest 😁🤣
I mean this in the least insulting way possible but fern reminds me of melody from the josie and pussy cats movie
Wait, what?
What, wait!
@@whitwoodruff4334 Wait... what??
@@secretforreddit What, wait!
@@SPQSpartacus You go too far, sir.
This was fun, the NZ version was WILD!
Extra Large Smile when Sarah Wins !! oh yeah SPOILER ALERT
definitely left the part out as to why is still smelled in there
Are you joking?
@@callum9999 no, why? because someone spiled some milk on the floor? Do they not clean or what? it has to be something way worse to linger
@@callum9999 Nope. Alex specifies why the smell lingered for so long just after they to cut the video.
In the full episode Alex explains that some of the milk seeped beneath the floor and they missed it, idk why they left that part out
@@ErimlRGG They cleaned it, but some had leaked under the flooring and wasn't found for quite a while. That's why the smelled lingered for so long. Alex mentions it after they cut this video
Honestly I would have said I don’t care what you would do and opened the task anyway
and the results? editor be slacking off
Alex is just the best
I love Fern!
Sarah Milk-ican.
10 ads in a 9min video. CZcams is really going to shit
Why did you stop showing the awarding of points?
Alex ♥
Still no match for David :D
Funny how many tasks they’re taking from the New Zealand version of the show.
I feel like there was also a banter bit this season that was from TM NZ too
the trailer for season 14 also shows that they're doing the grape escape/eat the grape
How many (others, apart from this one) NZ tasks have appeared on Taskmaster Original?
@@Tao_Tology There have also been a few stage tasks used on the UK version that were originally seen in the NZ one. The toilet paper tower (from series 13) is one, and from COC2, they did the suitcase one, but with different items inside.
They took so much in this series from tm nz
I legit still dont understand the task.
Not as fun without the postmortum
Milk is weird.
Love her
Alex Is Brilliant 😄😅
4:55
Sarah was the smart one.
But who won!!!!!!!
Watch the show
@@ajorngjdonaydbr it's not being aired in Australia 😔
@@eileencollins2536 the results of tasks are on the taskmaster wiki
All you need is written on the task
Gotta say NZ did this one better. David having lunch with Paul was just tops.
As far as the writing is concerned, I think UK did it better as it has the "don't let the timer get to 0" rule so the contestants have to open the task at some point.
Also it has Dara's "Wait what? What? Wait... Wait, what?"
@@djpunyer8762 that timer made it way worse. Limited the options too much. Alex just didnt want to be in there for 2 hours.
cant be the only one that sees an among us character in the milk bottle
oh my god you're right, i can't unsee it now
Wait what? Hang on what wait. Wait what?
Is the taskmaster wearing yoga pants?
....noooo?....
Why do you think that?
When he crosses his legs, they tend to get really snug around his calves, that's probably what you're seeing.
put your short on the microwave and Alex’ above the other one so the milk jugs are above but never touch the microwaves
taskmaster nz season 2
The milk passion of the Christ
Watch the whole fucking thing but don't get the times? C'mon...
Who's the girl in the blue dress?
Sarah Millican
I want to know the reason why Alex didn’t just use the pale to catch the milk? 😡
Dara thought about food waste when he staged his multi-compartment frying pan.
Also, Sarah’s right jug (of milk) wasn’t directly over the microwave whilst she was pouring out the right hand jug.
nobody cares they bought it
Pail.
It's a television show. Don't get so invested in it being logical.
Alex stop nicking New Zealand's tasks challenge.
What were their times?!?
