Taskmaster has its own KZbin channel, for those that are interested. It gets UNHINGED.

I wish the US version was exclusive to that other than having an account for Comedy Central’s streaming.

Taskmaster is probably the greatest gameshow, possibly the greatest TV show, ever created. Not one bad episode.

[@cheongrt5759]

100% agree

[@jijitters]

I think WILTY deserved more explanation! It's not just telling a simple lie or truth, the fun is that they get quizzed on their stories and bring in surprise guests and props related to them, so if the person is lying they have to keep making up new details and keeping up with their compounding lies in a way that makes sense. It's both a test in reading people and a showcase of the comedians' ability to lie and improv on the spot!

[@alpachinko9154]

Do it again with the adults and include "balls of steel" 😂 (And "Q.I.", and "have I got news for you", maybe even a lil "never mind the buzzcocks")

[@ldkleiser]

Nevermind the buzzcocks is a hilarious British gameshow. It's a trivia game with hilarious team captains and hosts. Its also like whose line is it anyway where the points don't really matter. Each team normally has a celebrity guest. I also like that the Brits do a big fat quiz of the year about current events that happened throughout the year but one of the teams doesn't care about the quiz and just messes with everyone during the quiz.

[@twintasticboys3499]

The "contestants are so cute and innocent as they did not notice why the last game with the snake charmer picture has the audience and competitors crying with laughter. Those who do/did not notice, please rewind and see what it looks like the snake charmer is doing to "himself" before all the boxes are revealed ;-) This has appeared on many blooper shows in the UK. We must all have smutty minds ;-) x

Two of these weren't originally British. For example, Catchphrase was originally a shortlived American gameshow, presented by Art James Countdown originated from a French gameshow called "Des chiffres et des lettres", literally "Numbers and letters", that has been running since 1965 (making it one of the longest running gameshows in the world).

[@evanrude2544]

Good I love the taskmaster series I watch it every time they release a new episode or clip on KZbin

[@iliketrains3495]

The teabag task is such a good task to show first-time viewers of Taskmaster, I HIGHLY recommend the full clip. As well as Tim Key's big victory here, it features a ton of petty-but-wonderful arguments, a contestant cheating and one of the funniest edits I've ever seen.

[@dogwithwigwamz.7320]

The question, "Which element can be used to make poisonous compounds that has the chemical symbol `AS` ?" is very badly worded / phrased. It would be much clearer if the the question was phrased, " Which element - with the chemical symbol `AS` can be used to make poisonous compounds ?"
