- Taken from Series 14 of Taskmaster, Dara Ó Briain romps through the toughest, most mind-bending tasks Greg and Alex can throw at him while leaving his fellow competitors in the dust. He even laughs at one point like a super villain. Can ANYONE stop him? (Answer: No.)
The comedy game show #Taskmaster, where contestants are challenged by Greg Davies to complete a series of weird and wonderful tasks! Be glad you're not a comedian (or little Alex Horne) facing his wrath.

Dara’s smart, mechanically minded, competitive, and has enough lateral thinking skills to think outside the box when necessary. It completely makes since he’d become the best ever contestant. Heck, the fact that he did this while being saddled with John and Fern for teammates, shows how great a performer he is.
I think Dara and Fern actually got on pretty well. She has some good ideas and she wants to succeed. She's just sometimes not practical. John was the really hopeless one. But I want a Dara & Fern sit com. Maybe she's the long lost Scottish branch of the family as 1) she said that's true of her family, that she has Irish relatives, and 2) I'm partial to it because I also have a similar Irish/Scottish mixing of relatives in the distant past. I think they could be hilarious together as they tend to give off father/daughter energy.
He also has a very big head, that might have played to his advantage!
@@stenen He doesn't suffer from Alzheimer's disease like everyone else
You mean the mega-bus man?
I'd expect his to be on Alex's side, coming up with the cunning schemes
Never mess with the guy who's whole job was to wrangle more than half the cast who appeared on his own show prior!
Half of them already did Taskmaster!
The man has come a long way from his humble beginnings on the back of the megabus.
Is that before or after his echo Island days? Vague recollections of him as a child doing echo Island on early 90s Irish tv
@@laurakennedy9286 August 2003.
Don't forget staring in the Monsoon Poultry Hospital
also remember the grand but humble times of him being a penis sausage?
@@kawaiilotus How could anyone forget? Did you notice no one got my August 2003 joke?
I can’t believe they dared to invite Dara to this show, he’s far too clever and devious.
I think it provides a great contrast to the other contestants lol the fails are so much funnier when you see how well someone can do with just a little forethought
Sarah gave him a run for his trophy
My dream lineup will be Rachel riley, Stephen fry, Susie dent, and Sandi toksvig. Maybe they can somehow get Brian Cox in as the 5th entry to compete with the others. I'm not sure who else could compete with the other for off the top of my head that's in the entertainment industry
No one's too smart for Taskmaster, and I say this as a massive Dara O'Briain fan.
Wait, what? instantly proves it.
Also, Victoria Coren Mitchell is very intelligent yet she was rubbish at Taskmaster. Anything can happen, no matter how intelligent you are.
The "delicious" was too hilarious...
Dara is a smart cookie. Its part of his magnetism
The magnetism is just his big head, don't be fooled! 😄
@@VeroNika-sw3rw The head does not provide magnetism, it provides gravity, they discussed that in detail in MTW
@@VeroNika-sw3rw He’s pulled in a whole PLANET behind him :)
The correct answer should have been to identify every flavour as 'delicious'
@@VeroNika-sw3rwDara’s head has its own gravitational field!
"It's not just nice, it's delicious" get's me everytime. That delivery is peak Dara O Briain. xD
Dara did not disappoint in this series
The thing about the grapes in the garage, is that even if he saw them, getting them out would have been significantly more difficult than going to the kitchen.
MAYBE if you open the garage door really hard it'd knock some out. Big maybe.
@@octavulg Still got to pick them up off the floor. He could have used his mouth as long as the height was ok
It's really hard to imagine anyone doing better than Dara has done on this show, will someone ever beat his total series score, and more importantly, break the 200 points mark?
His BFF Prof Brian Cox. He'd just destroy everyone.
@@Pagliacci_Rex well thank you that’s something I absolutely didn’t know I wanted but now insanely need
@@Pagliacci_Rex I think I disagree with that. Prof Brian Cox is very smart given time. But I think it would be different considering the majority of tasks have little time and require practical thinking. I think he would excel in some out of the box thinking but I also think he would overthink many tasks
If series 15 is any indication, Ivo Graham might be the one to break the record
@@thedragonsnortchannel2609 LMAO hindsight being what it is
The whispered “it’s delicious” when the marmite hits 😂😂
Phenomenal Head Dara (PhD)
Sarah would have won against any other contestant. Unlucky for her she was pitted against Dara O Briain, the best that's ever been.
If they ever remade The Natural & made it about Taskmaster instead of baseball it would definitely be a story about Dara. 😁
I want a show of bob mortimer, Dara Obrien, Ardel ohanlon, frank skinner, and Lee mack in a pub doing pub games/taskmaster skits(compose music and stories) Mike Wozniak as waiter and Ed gamble as bartender
Imagine pub quiz with all of them haha
@Fin Miles wait... I'm not that familiar with British TV, is pub quiz a thing?
@@katza831 oh yeah, it’s like a trivia night at a pub irl? They have them in the US too I forget what they’re called though.
They’re quite fun even if you’re not good at it, you should see if any of your local bars have them :)
I'd probably add David Baddiel as the chef, just to mess with Ed 😁
@@definedphotography good call
Sarah gave him a run for his money, but damn he's just too clever
7:30 "It's not just nice, it's delicious" got me laughing so good
Ofcourse Gru is smart.
He was the reason I tuned into this series and he definitely delivered :)
I enjoyed the other contestants too, ofc.
I was in it for Dara but the whole cast was terrific. 🙂
there's this...and there's all the "wait what?"s
Dara is a prancing unicorn in my heart.
I'm like 110% sure there's a serial killer stalking London. Witnesses tell he's a big man with a bald head. The last thing his victims hear is "It's not just nice. It's delicious."
It's not just nice, it's delicious.
Love Dara and was expecting him to just run away with this but Sarah was actually very good. If not for some very poor luck and more or less being sabotaged, she would have actually won.
It's not as if Fern and John were the ideal teammates either.
Oh, if Dara and Sarah were a team...
Sarah actually beat Dara in the filmed tasks, and it wouldn't surprise me if she has the all-time highest score for filmed tasks alone. Although Mae might have overtaken her
Dara is one of my favourite comedians on the BBC! I really enjoy his comdy. It's a shame I missed him when he toured Canada, if he comes back I'll definately buy a ticket.
I can relate, really hope he has another Canada tour myself.
He is coming back to Canada in September!
If Frankie wins series 15, we might get a mini MTW reunion on COC III. Really hoping that happens.
Oh my GOD thank you, I missed the lineup announcement and I thought you were speaking hypothetically….YES, FRANKIE :)
I have a feeling he'll be a contestant who constantly goes for the laugh rather than points so I don't think he'll win
Put Desky in as a wildcard entry
@@aislingbolton793 I can see that, I anticipate like Rhod but I’m absolutely not complaining any road
@@kelzuya Desky can go in the 'most befuddled contestants' special, and have a Mary Whitehouse Experience reunion with Baddiel.
"Can I go to the kitchen please" 🤣🤣
He plays along with the whole thing so well!
Dara could've been a shoe in for the role of taskmaster.
Dara is a smart supervillan
Surely the short brush is a huge advantage though?
It is, thye cut the part where alex asked them (with no context) whether they wanted “inches” or “feet” 😂
"Ohhhhhhh... So you lot chose inches....."
"Destroying" or "doing slightly better than"
the music during the painting segment was A) way too nice for this show, and B) absolutely beautiful. what was it, anyone know?
I thought the same but no results from Shazam I'm afraid! :(
@@barneymetcalfe8896 you're doing the lords work here, thanks friend!
@@issymfWhat was it??
As someone who has watched all seasons of taskmaster in last month had no idea who this Dara Obrien people kept referencing in earlier seasons but I get it and love him now
As another someone who has watches all series of TM, I completely forgot that Dara was referenced at all in previous series. Could you remind me please?
@@chersegems2315 I think it was just people in comments saying that he would be good on the show
@@chersegems2315 i think Jamali in S11 at one point thought that the taskmaster was Dara (because he had the “same energy” as Greg)
His name is Dara Ó Briain....some peeps keep getting it wrong...look at the title of the vid🤩
He doesn't have competitors, he has interactive spectators
Well of course he did well, he's the host of Task Game!
Haven’t had these pop up in my feed in a long time. Forgot how funny I find British television
His science degree must be his advantage
Being smart didn't help David baddiel
Phil Wang has an engineering degree lol
@@RobyamdamOr Victoria Coren Mitchell
My theory is that any contestant thats a parent has a very straightforward pragmatic approach to the tasks, they find that solution right away or at least a way to get it done
And John hadn't been a parent long enough for it to take affect. Pretty sure I heard that his partner had just given birth
@@lisahenry20This can be its own benefit, ala Rob Beckett being sleep deprived when he did his mad granny with a fire extinguisher surprise.
@@WukongTheMonkeyKing true. So maybe being a new parent leads to sleep deprivation, which can be good or bad depending on the tasks. But then be a parent for long enough, and it develops into pragmatism.
I think I actually would have enjoyed all of those ice creams.
O'Briain was big until Greg Davies came
Richard Osman
Dara is just built different
LEGEND
[7:10] It’s not every day you witness a grown man eat a speck of ice cream and yell, “F**K Jesus Christ!” now is it? Britain is so different than Detroit. 🤣
Fern looked like she hated all of it.
Fern needs to be on another season. She was hilarious.
You get Dara, Sarah and Munya and then you get season 15 cast.
Comparing Dara and Frankie Boyle on this show really makes sense of why Ireland is a republic and Scotland isn’t
10:15 name of the song please?
Disappointed that he didn't say at the ducks/socks threadmills "Physics, b*tches!"
Does anyone know the name of the piece of classical music playing during the unicorn task?
I’m guessing it’s a Horne Section number, but with strings?
That last task was super unfair tho and for what
What was the story behind the long and short horns? Was it a reward or a catch-up-mechanic?
It was a final task, in it the contestants were asked if they wanted a 6 inch or 6 foot pole. They were not instructed on what they would be doing with it, and were left to decide which pole would be best for the unspecified task.
Moments before the task, Alex asked them inches or feet and they had to make a choice. No context was given. Their answer determined the size of the horn brush
@@akatoshslayer7599 Yeah, they weren’t told the word ‘pole,’ it was just, ‘Do you want inches or feet’ with no context (as the person above said). They had no idea what they were getting themselves into (a Taskmaster specialty :)
@@akatoshslayer7599 reminds me of then being asked whether they want to paint from 6 inches or 6 feet
my thoughts are much to prurient to leave a comment about a bro-mance between greg and dara
Does anyone know what the music in the Unicorn task is?
Seems to be a fantasy version of the Taskmaster theme. The Horne Section - who do the music - always knock it out of the park.
@@EleanorHucklesby The music is composed by Dru Masters! The Horne Section just did the title theme.
I now need more Dara but I think his cast kept him back in this one too young and respectful towards him
As someone seeing him for first time from Oklahoma, Dara open up so many seasons of taskmaster that would become iconic if I could insert him in and take another out
Imo they weren’t too obsequious but def more laid back than some of Series 10…
@katza I dunno - Fern dissed him pretty good in her ‘It is me Fern Brady’ song 😊
Doesn't Brian have a Phd in physics or something...
Hugh Dennis even said that he has a PHD (Phenomenal Head Dara). :)
He’s got a bachelor’s degree in physics.
EYEBROWS.
I wonder what happens to the 'art' afterwards?
According to Alex on the Taskmaster podcast, they’ve kept all the art work. Its in storage somewhere
Why did Sarah and Dara have shorter horns?
Because they chose inches instead of feet at the beginning of the task
They were asked inches or feet before the task with no context or explanation.
I feel like the unicorn painting task was rigged - obviously the longer horns would result in worse paintings
The contestants were asked to choose without context. It was technically their own doing
I like how he makes that "ehhhrrr" sound after he tells a joke, so that you can tell he told a joke. =/
What wait what?
😊😊😊😊😊😊😅
Dara looks like The Office (us) Kevin's brother
Ads every 69 seconds.... seriously!
How the heck do you get a point for answering tikka masala when the answer is curry? Tikka masala is not a curry.
It's a gift from Heaven
Munja could just spit the ice cream and not swallow... Still taste it
Your saliva already starts to break down the sugars, so although you may not get as much as if you swallowed, you still break the no sugar diet.
For us non Brit’s and BritBox-less people tell us who won the season please.
Dara won this season with 184 points
Why does the thumbnail look like this is a special ed show
Most of what people consider intelligence or cleverness is problem solving.
And your point is?
There are many different kinds of intelligence. Book smarts, problem solving, social intelligence (can't remember what people actually call it, basically being really good at handling people and figuring out the best way to interact with them). I'd say that book smarts is the one people tend to focus on, at least when you're younger, since it's what tends to be used in exams.
@@lilyweatherwaxHRH that education ≠ intelligence
Those are called fins, not flippers.... Specifically Mares avanti quatros... Great fins
I bet you're fun at parties.
@@bushratbeachbum depends on the party
Those called flippers too despite how you feel about it.
flipper
noun
flip·per ˈfli-pər
plural flippers
Synonyms of flipper
1
a
: a broad flat limb (as of a seal or cetacean) adapted for swimming
b
: a flat shoe (as of rubber or silicone) with the front expanded into a paddle that is used to aid movement through water (as in snorkeling or scuba diving)
called also fin, swim fin
If you’re going to correct someone, make sure you’re right.
@@MissCaraMint as a 15 year professional scuba instructor.. I am right. Despite whatever rubbish online dictionary you used might suggest. 🙃
ethnic dude says he's on a no sugar diet, but what's up with the bottle of rum per night
What the fuck are you talking about mate, and his name is Munya mate
Fake.
You can have a career just going on these shows in the UK! You couldn't do that in the US. You actually have to have skills and create content in the US.
You've clearly never seen Dara's live shows. He's a brilliant stand-up
@@vietnamesefisheatbananas8607 also all the programs about astronomy he presents.
Also I hate that people who don't work in advertising unironically call it 'content' now.
@@vietnamesefisheatbananas8607 He's reasonably amusing.
@Christopher Horner What am I ignorant of? Mediocre comedians?
3506Dodge, Hahahaha, you realise US television is able to be viewed outside of the country don't you?
You have hundreds of entirely unwatchable channels, presented by soulless plastic robots, dozens of channels selling plastic rubbish nobody wants or needs, adverts for prescription drugs, and news channels feeding you barefaced lies to keep you safe in the illusion that the rest of the world has a shred of respect for the country.
Pipe down champ.
I would love to play d&d with him
The girl at the end used her hands and should have been disqualified.
To whoever writes these titles, you DON'T actually HAVE to put STUPID VERBS in EVERY title YOU make.
its better for the algorithm and viewership, so YES it is actually necessary
Dara’s smart, mechanically minded, competitive, and has enough lateral thinking skills to think outside the box when necessary. It completely makes since he’d become the best ever contestant. Heck, the fact that he did this while being saddled with John and Fern for teammates, shows how great a performer he is.
