Award Winning Performances | Taskmaster

[@adamplace1414]

I would genuinely listen to a studio recording of "I'm Always Seeing You (Do Cool Stuff)."

[@amalzuhair4495]

Yes that was amazing but her lack of a reaction is just absolutely fabulous I can not stop laughing watching it.

[@Irene.0.]

Totally!

[@danielsch.5324]

I would love even more to listen to a studio Version of "Rosalind's a fucking nightmare" ^^

[@adamplace1414]

@Tan K My fellow American: Square brackets, which you used, are called just "brackets" in our country. Rounded brackets, which we call parentheses, are just called "brackets" in the British Isles and indeed much of the rest of the English speaking world. Now, it could be that two Englishmen, on an English show, meant brackets the way you and I usually mean them, but since that would mean using square brackets, instead of round, in a song title - which is so rare that I can't think of a single example - I'm going to humbly suggest that I had it right to begin with. Hopefully my overly pedantic response showed you that if you're going to be a pedant, you should at least bother to be correct about it.

It's so incredible that Nish, the contestant known for failing in sometimes spectacular and confounding ways, was co-responsible for one of the greatest task achievements in Taskmaster history.

[@Clairembify]

That’s what makes the song so special. The two most disastrous contestants of the series pulling off the most unexpectedly brilliant win in their final episode. 😌

[@lakshyasharma5540]

Same with Tree Wizard. Love both of them

[@kurtsudheim825]

There's been a few incompetent players who've had moments of brilliance, but everyone has that, nobody is pure good/bad

It adds an extra layer to the whole performance when you realize the song is about trying your best, but never being good enough.

[@DomenBremecXCVI]

The end result is probably one of the best things you can do in that time. But I also very much enjoyed Bob being by far the best examinator in history.

[@tesd.]

Oh I remember that, that mayo task was brilliant !

[@crazwaz5770]

If a part two is made of this I *need* James's "Over My Shoulder" song to be included because that gets stuck in my head constantly.

[@mikemack9701]

The boulder is a metaphor for everything that drags you down and saps your self-confidence. Or, is it a big rock?

[@ricardobezerra2712]

I thought the same, then I remembered the whole punk non-conforming shtick James claims to represent, and how it goes against conventional awards 😝 At least I like to think that Alex had the same understanding at some point 😂

[@mikemack9701]

@@ricardobezerra2712 You realize the golden bust of Craig Davies isn't what anyone would call a "conventional award," right? As competitive as some Taskmaster contestants may be, "Taskmaster" isn't really a game or a challenge for a prize. It's a way for creative people to express their ingenuity in a very funny, very entertaining way. You think James Acaster has a "punk schtick" that isn't fitting for the whole absurdity? That's just, um, silly, and I can guarantee Alex wouldn't agree with that.

[@ricardobezerra2712]

@@mikemack9701 lol you forgot that Taskmaster is also a fun, light entertainment, unlike your comment 😝 lighten up mate, geez! I was reffering to conventional awards. "Award Winning performance" can also give that interpretation.

[@Salted_Fysh]

Eh. It wasn't exactly a good song or performance. Yeah, it stays in your head but that is mostly because it's just endless repetition. I whip my hair back and forth is also a line I will never forget, but it's not because it's a good line in a good song.

[@Becausing]

Mark’s little smile at 8:37 is so sweet and genuine. He was really having a great time!

[@ArgyleKatt]

He’s so proud of his little drum solo and it’s adorable

Rose’s attempt at the ‘Write lyrics to the Taskmaster theme song’ task is one of my personal favourites from all 11 seasons and isn’t talked about enough :/

I presume because they included her in the end, they wanted to feature someone else. Tbh though, I think if they only wanted to do one, they should have included the lyrics to the theme song one.

'Tree wizard' and Rose's country song are still my fav songs.

Nish and Mark's song...is the song that is in a coming of age movie when there's a shopping montage

[@LiamJR24]

The other Taskonbury team's song is hugely under-rated. I would have also loved to have seen what other questions Bob would have come up with in the 5 minutes, had this been a solo task...

[@auntlynnie]

Nish & Mark’s song was a solid bop! One of my fave tasks ever.

David's Taskmaster theme task is pretty much the exact moment Nish passed the torch to him for Most Incompetent Contestant. Both had advantages in their musical tasks due to being the only musicians of the group, and Nish did one of the best performances in the history of the show, while David completely shit the bed

[@abj6920]
