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.
Well habe you ever seen a yellow ninja anyehere else? That's 'cause they're so damn good at hiding!
Thought noel would go inside the washing machine lmao.
I would have tried climbing on top of the building
7:03 If Alex hasn't found Lolly yet, how does he know she has a "different" outfit?
They would have seen each other pre filming that particular segment
I would’ve gotten on the roof
I would have just run. Like just go run a kilometer. No rule against it.
Don't know how well it would've worked, but I would've crept under the van without a sound 😄
I would have done the same thing the old dude was cause I assumed he was going to check around the trailer first, then I would try to figure out the door he's entering, running out the back, and hiding in the trailer. I'd probably choose the wrong door or hed see me out the window and id be immediately caught
I would’ve hid on the roof it looks climable
They mentioned this on the podcast: every time someone asks to go on the roof but every time they have to say no because if they fall off the company can't cover health insurance
Hey, American here. Just found this today. Right good stuff you got here. I dig it.
O9
Nobody tried to hide in the caravan
What I would have done: 1. Hide under the Caravan 2. Wait for him to go inside somewhere 3. Jump out and go inside the Caravan 4. Find somewhere in the Caravan that I can fit (I can squeeze into some interesting spots 5. Consume my victory
Awww it's the first time Alex ever got to touch a woman. Bless him.
So... sotting on the chair upstairs would have landed 2nd place.
I would have just left the premises and gone on a walk...
My first instinct was roof.
I would've hid under the caravan
Wait... is that old Gregg?!
Noel had my laughing so hard I started crying. This made me realize that I would be a terrible audience member from laughing so hard.
Why didn't any of them just leave the premises and go home?
They both hid for 69 seconds. Neat.
I would have sneaked into the neighbour's yard, knocked their door and hid inside their house.
2020: 5722
I'd have left the house
Why did nobody go on the roof? It would have taken hours for Alex to find them.
@Anxious Mo-Fo Well it's settled off to the nearest pub!
They're not allowed to go on the roof for safety reasons
@Blah There was a ladder next to the shed
How do you propose they get onto the roof?
Your task: post series 8-10. Your time starts now.
Pointless random observation: Alex upon finishing counting yells “Coming! Ready or Not”. I grew up in California and we would yell “Ready or Not, Here I Come!” Was just curious if this was a regional or national difference. Would be interested to hear what you said in your particular part of the country and/or world. Cheers from the US. PS: miss having the weekly full episodes drop here on FIboth for us
@C Allen 😂🤣
Awww Jarrett! You have thrown a wrench into my thinking. Damn you Malaysia!
Hello from Malaysia - we did "Ready or not, here I come!"
Interesting- it appears to be a North American vs rest of the world thing. Thanks for answering friends 🙂
In canada we do "ready or not, here I come"
I would find a temporary hiding spot and then hide inside the Caravan
Think that might been Noel's plan, but it backfired XD
Yeah, that was my first thought too
That is exactly what i was thinking
Really thought Hugh would bar the caravan door or something.
Woulda been funny if someone stole a jacket and hat and camera from one of the cameramen and started pretending to film Alex
@Nahele Shiriki They aren't allowed to get on roof because of safety stuff, Alex mentioned it in some interview.
My first instinct would be to get onto the roof and lay down as flat as a pancake.
OH MY GOSH THAT WOULD’VE ROCKED
I still think she should have gotten extra points for the taunting.
Enjoyed this one :) Even if there was some bad attemps.
The being in the yellow creeps me out like nobody else ever has.
No why would a 47 year old man pretending to be a 15 year old boy be creepy?
Please don't ever stop posting vids. Between this Hypothetical and 8OO10C, I don't stop watching
Lolly's taunting in this was gold
I'd have waited behind the caravan, and when alex goes around it I go inside it
that's probably what the guy in yellow was thinking.
Start running. Leave the premises? Wrap in a tarp and disguise in shed! Switch clothes with a camera person!!!
@Hedge Knight roof would be too obvious plus the crew wouldn't let them do it for obvious reasons lol
Climb onto the roof
Can't help to think where would have Sally Phillips hid?
This is one of the Tasks I would love to see Rhod do, he would probably go the same route of the Tie Yourself Up task
In my heart
2:44 You have to love Joe Lycet! "When he spotted me i was really frightened and wanted to get away from him." Ahahaha!
You have to wonder why he thought Alex was scary though, he’s just a short man wearing a suit with a big digtal timer that just happens to have a mob of people holding heavy equipment behind him
I would have sprinted out to the gate then gone to the nearest pub
Dad is that you?
“There was a drive-by” kills me every time!
I remember, this was from the first ever episode of Taskmaster I watched. This particular task has been near and dear to my heart ever since.
also how do i watch the champions season episodes? i was able to watch some of them prequarantine and now i can’t!
is there any way i could watch the newer episodes in america... without paying?
season 10 is up on the FIboth page - at least for this American without using a vpn
you could try one of the free vpn services? afaik youtube doesnt detect them
One of the saddest things about growing up is that other grown ups never want to play gods and seek anymore
I still do, but instead of hiding for my friends I hide from the tax collector
@Jasmijn hide and seek but you smite those you find
@Jasmijn You reach apotheosis, then wait to be found.
I think you just invented a new game - gods and seek. Any idea what it's like? And for the record I totally still want to play hide and seek! And reversed hide and seek too!
Lolly’s crowning achievement
I thought Mel hid behind a lamp in the episode.
@Finn the Human yess, you're right
I think that was the camouflage task, with Noel being a banana
Just hide on the roof
@Kat Smith oh ok, thanks for the information
Alex mentioned in one of the TM podcasts that each season at least one contestant wants to go on the roof. But they are not allowed for safety and insurance reasons.
I was thinking the same thing, I wonder if there's quick access up top
If it were me i'd jumpscare alex from somewhere. To hell with points, the reaction would be priceless
I would say that they were being stupid but my first instinct and genius idea was to hide behind the caravan because he would never find me. So yeah...
On the roof or at the nearest pub is the Instinct for me.
@Emily Z. If you had made it up there in time, and got to the back, that would have worked so well!
My first instinct was "climb on the roof of that house"
Yeah, the problem is if it's your first instinct..it's probably a lot of other peoples as well =)
I would have climbed a tree...
Oh boy. Better watch this within the hour before it's blocked in my country.
@MiningwithPudding it's not, actually. Don't know why, but I'm not complaining.
@Strange Dad IV Is it blocked for you yet?
@heckin tasty Man, have I really been obnoxiously commenting on these TM uploads so much that people know me here now? Or did you check my profile and see my stupid Swedish content? Well, either way you're right.
@Bradley Penrith apparently sweden
What's the country?
oh this was such a great group! of course I say this about every group but it's always true!
Those hand touching moment between Greg and Alex. Did not see them much often in later series. BTW Mel was so good throughout this series.
@Nic Q dont forget the leash
They graduated from hand touching to literal kissing, Alex sitting on Greg's lap, and just general invasion of personal space.
I'm surprised they all stayed on the premises. Why not do something evil and just go to the nearest public library's bathroom?
@thumbs up HAHAHAHA THIS IS GOLD
Where did she hide in the town?
In Swedish Taskmaster hide n seek one of the contestants actually did! She went down to the nearby town 😅
@thumbs up i was waiting for someone to just lock him in
@thumbs up haha that’s exactly what would have happened
Noel looks like a particular cartoon character which I couldn't remember
@TheOverly ObsessiveFangirl That's exactly what i think Noel looked like lol
@Momo UwU once i did a face merge of lord farquaad and Prince Charming from Shrek and it turned out looking a lot like Noel
@sᴀᴠɪᴏᴜʀ ᴍᴀᴄʜɪɴᴇ no, I looked it up and I think it's Lord Farquaad from Shrek
Dick Dastardly?
If Hugh was able to get outside after Alex looked...He would have never been found.
Noel should've stuck with hiding in the fruit bowl :D
I just came from that video
😂😂😂
I like to think that’s why he made a b-line for the caravan, so he can shrink himself and hide in the fruit bowl
I don't know who to feel worse for...Alex or Mel.
I would have never stopped laughing if I were her
I feel worse for Alex, he seemed more embarrassed than Mel,who seemed want to have more fun with it
Lolly’s performance in this task is so good. Still think that she’s one of the most underrated people who has ever been on the show.
True
@taserrr That’s why she started taunting him
Well yes it's good but you seem to forget this is a comedy show, the tasks are meant to be used as a medium for comedy.
@Red Elf Shot the Food still tho, all of them literally went towards the seeker. Thats like playing tag and running to the tagger. It's a very risky move that often tends to backfire. The best move I thought of included hiding nearby the hiding spot, waiting for the seeker to go inside and then hide in the spot where he came from.
She was brilliant at this task. But she, and the other female had a size advantage. Smaller people can hide better. There simply are more spaces to fill.
Such a good task this one. 😂
I've been hiding from Alex for years and he still hasn't found me.
@megaverner r/woooooooooooosh
He's not looking for you.
Your profile picture certainly supports that claim. :)
