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.
Am Vor Monat
I’d watch this show more but the commercials a fuckin brutal
Obviously Nell was going to love Paul‘s toy. I‘ve never met a toddler, including myself, who could resist water. Not sure what Greg found so surprising about that.
I agree with everyone who thinks Iain’s behavior at the hammock task was off putting. But it’s equally obvious that he felt ashamed watching it back, and muted his behavior afterwards, which I think speaks volumes. We can all go too far at times, yet we rarely have the opportunity to see ourselves from a third person’s perspective. I think people should lay off Iain a bit because we would all have these unflattering moments if we were filmed all day and put under an immense amount of pressure. I personally like that he’s invested in the game because if it was all a total joke then there would be no stakes to keep it interesting.
Paul with a beard at 2:22 looks like Eugene Cordero
Sian just hopping into Alex's arms because she's so tiny
Has anyone else noticed that Lou was standing outside the starting circle? Somewhere Joe Wilkinson shed a tear.
That price task judging was a beauty!!! :)
In one task Nell said hello to Alex more times than James Acaster did in an entire series
What were her parents thinking naming her "Nell" !!! It's an odd enough name to begin with (and kind of an ugly name in my opinion), but then on top of that you have the movie "Nell", which means she is going to get people saying "tay in the win" for her entire life. Is that the kind of association you want with your child's name?
am I the only one who saw Lou step out of the circle when throwing her pan?!
The pan was clearly a paid actor
Am i the only one super pissed about Iain getting 5 points for the toilet task?
40:54 is it just me or is Lou standing half outside the circle?
I know everyone's pissed that Iain got pissed during the group task but at the same time I'm not sure anyone else has wanted to win as badly as him and I'm seriously hoping he wins.
Whenever Iain throws his little fits I wonder if it dawns on him that he's literally playing for various bundles of trash?
32:57 Joe and Sian's team task where they match boots. I don't know how this will be productive, but I can only imagine it will.
Iain is experiencing a severe process of ego death after watching that team task 😂😂 You can literally see his entire life is flashing before his eyes for the rest of the episode....incredible.
nell is such a sweetheart!! even when bashing in the head of a helpless plastic duck ;(
"It's hard to sneakily weigh people." "Iain, your next task is to stand as still as possible on this bathroom scale for 30 seconds. Person who moves the least wins." There, job done.
Is Lou Sanders playing a character?
"Again" -Nell
Iain and Lou are teenagers trapped in adult bodies.
Ohhhh Greg!
What was with the broken glass on the grass near the hammock during Joe and Sian's attempt?
I hate this Iain guy. God, is he annoying
wait I might have a problem. I only see people complaining about Ian's behaviour and the fact that he's annoying. But I on the other hand thought Lou was being and is really annoying. Still Ian is fairly competitive and act on it but besides that.
I thought Lou was being and kept being annoying. Ian though immediately apologized, looked like he was going to cry, and was shut-down for the rest of the show- I just wanted to hug him.
Nell nailed the timing on the "hit the ducky" song
To be fair, the idea of putting the bathtub under the Hammock was actually incredibly smart, because then by focusing all of the weight in the middle, it would cause the hammock to bulge into the bathtub, giving an extra "wall" allowing things to not fall out as easily.
Series 8 is consistently good
4:25 She's not wrong
The little kid is so freaking cute! My ovaries exploded and I don't even have those.
Bicycle, My Xcellent bicycle
That Ian dude's really bringing this season down. There is no single more unattractive quality than people who can't read the room and ratchet the competitiveness to an uncomfortable place. Like bro save some of it for you therapist, good god. We get it: someone at some point, probably when you were very small, made you feel like a loser and you've spent the entire rest of your life trying to run away from the scary belief that they may have been right. Not something I want to be repeatedly made to think about in a comedy show.
Ian may have been ridiculous during the hammock challenge, but Lou was also extremely ridiculous when she was screaming I caught it! repeatedly like a petulant child. I haven't really liked her attitude in any of the episodes so far, she's obnoxious (as is Ian don't get me wrong). Oh well some series just don't have endearing contestants....
I find her endearing because she has fun doing tasks. She obviously knew she did not catch the book and didn't really want to let her team down. In her reddit AmA , she says she didn't mean to come a cross like she had an attitude when she was joking around most of the time. Oh well.
Might be the smartest and the most polite toddler I have ever seen...
Loving the 'tosser in a bathrobe-pjs' looks more and more as the series go by
I genuinely dont understand why everyone supports Lou so much here.
Alex, to Nell: "Are you engaged?" Mr. Horne, I think that child is a bit too young to be engaged! Also, RE Prizes: "BMX'ing!"
Watching Lou apologising when she'd done nothing wrong, and being sweet and calling Iain "baby" and stuff made me feel incredibly uncomfortable. It's like textbook abusive relationship....
Nice . Thank You 😀
The toddler task was the best thing and I loved it so much. But honestly, give kids a bowl of water and some ducks or an iPad and BAM engaged. Also Iain is just hysterical and I love him
these guys would be terrible at Toomer's corner
Just about to catch up with the latest episode as I plow through the episodes accumulated through Christmas... Wish it lasted more!!
The real toddler was Iain all along.
When you want a toddler to be engaged, give them water and floaty things. Works everytime. But you need to watch for the mess.
Point indeed proven, will remember for when the time comes!!
Asks the toddler: “are you engaged?” I’m dead. 😂🤣
I was so expecting for someone to later go for : "She was not engaged, man. She was wedlock married."
Paul standing in the background with the barrel while the two arguing is such a mood
I would've dumped him outta the hammock after saying "got you babe" Props to Lou for being very reasonable.
Jessica was right, Nell is happy
I'm really hoping Iain reflects and turns it around from here on out. He's annoying but something makes me want to root for his redemption
Gee I wonder what could possibly underpin your desire to root for this person in spite of the fact that he's utterly humorless and brings the entire room down with his megalomaniacal insistence on his own superiority
Is it just me or are the girls this season 10 fold dumber than the others, so cringe.
They learned from hometasking to put cute kids on haha
This season = 2019 Hometasking = 2020
herbs? greg davies do you indulge in the 420? you are such a fine specimen of a man...heehee
Honestly reading all this comments I expected much worse. Iian got a bit competitive in the group task, but it wasn't that bad either honestly. But who knows, maybe that's just because I'm German , who are known for being direct and somewhat rude, and I'm not used to polite Brittish sensibilities.
@Mr. Peapoo lmao please chill. My comment had nothing to do with ww2 and neither was I in any shape or form claiming Germans are better. I simply observed some cultural differences as Germans tend to be more direct, which often is perceived as rude my other people. That's it. I didn't even condone Iians behaviour. I just said I expected something else from the comments than what was shown in the end and that it was not that bad. Not that bad does not equal good. As the comment above me mentioned being rude and loud is not why Hitler gained power either. That's not even a in accurate simplification anymore but a plain wrong statement.
I'm German and you two are talking about two very different things. She is right about German mentality. But Hitler didn't rise because he was rude and direct....
Yes I suppose we as a species are inured to the image of a German loudly and enthusiastically proclaiming their superiority and primacy over other people. Perhaps something for which there is infamous historical precedent
Joe’s little smile at making his shot through the toilet seat
It was precious
If Iain ? came to TaskMaster because “it would be good for his ‘career’ ”, I think it has spectacularly back-fired - worst TM contestant ever.....?
This is the worst game of curling I’ve ever seen! 🤣
I really wanna know who Nell is
Joe was standing on a tub, and then walking on grass so i think its fair to say he "fell" from it at some point
I'm so upset. I'd been looking for this episode for weeks and it was not appearing in the channel. I figured there was some copyright issue on YT, so I found it elsewhere in a decidedly lesser bitrate and something like a day later it comes to YT, I'm so bitter lol.
I’d love me some fairy Sian, she is so friggin adorable
Lain being a competitive asshole has made me reconsider everything about myself
Listening to Paul's explanation, it seems he had just performed a psych experiment on the child. Nature vs Nurture.
Big ole crush on Joe right here.
That opening 😱 and Greg questions why people write fan fiction about them
Having watched series 1-7 (and 10) + champion of champions and the new years special - I've never found a contestant I've actually disliked more than Iain.
I've seen it before and Nell again makes me smile in the happiest way possible. She is beyond adorable.
Nell is absolutely the best guest they’ve ever had on this show.
I think I could watch Nell and Alex interact for eight episodes straight.
When she ran back and forth when They showed Joe’s Dough it was so adorable!! We need Nell back!! 😂🥺
True. The Mayor of Chesham wasn't bad either :-P.
@Fin Miles Reid I saw these comments before I knew who Nell was and I felt slightly defensive about Rosalind but once I saw Nell I knew she had to be the best guest.
she juuuuust nudges Rosalind The Fucking Nightmare and Swedish Guy into second and third place spots. Stiff competition, love it
The kid smashing the tray of ducks immediately was so choice 👌
Will somebody PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE give Paul a turtleneck shirt?!?! Jesus 🤦🏽♂️ has he not seen his own neck?
