Best Prize Tasks: Volume 2

[@DanieTei]

If you ever are looking for a perfect example of 'stunned silence' it's the moment right after Lolly announces she's sitting on 2 grand.

[@justin.booth.]

Also when Mike takes off the hat

[@jrbship]

She literally bought 5 points for $2k 😂

[@joshyaash]

@@jrbship Al Murry would be proud

[@GabeNotNewell]

Well, that was quite a gamble with £2.000

[@JLF201]

And Alex's reaction was great. I don't think he knew she had done that.

[@aran9952]

The "STOP BEING NICE" is still one of the best moments in the show's history

[@willisverynice]

I would describe that as a “humble opinion”

[@Callhouse]

I'd argue the single best moment was the 'I knew you wouldn't let me down Victoria' that came straight after. Just the fact she genuinely thought she was being nice makes it so much better. Maybe you gotta be a football fan to fully appreciate that.

[@hailsaturn]

@@CallhouseNah, Victoria knew exactly what she was doing. It was obvious especially when she said something like "I thought you'd want to see the winning side for once." Absolutely played into what the Taskmaster wanted, intentionally sacrificing points for comedic effect.

[@TheYorkRose]

​@Chris T I'm always baffled by people who think she was being an idiot - she's very bright, she knows Alan well, it was a good joke, and she already said she based her jokes on either funny puns or outright comedy because she wasn't really a comedian like the others and felt it was the only way to match the others so there's zero reason to think she was playing it straight (aside from taking Greg at his word when he's also having fun) 🤷🏽‍♀️

[@Callhouse]

@@hailsaturn she also knows absolutely nothing about sport in general.

[@Bertucko941]

"hip hip beret" was such a perfectly clever punchline that nobody laughed they just all agreed unanimously that that is exactly what it should be called.

[@lilyhart6650]

I love Guz’s childlike excitement when Desiree mentioned the dog. Wholesome!

[@tobyb1018]

You could’ve stopped at “I love Guz” he’s one of my fave contestants ever, pretty much everything he does or says makes me laugh 😂😊

[@joanneking170]

To me it's the best prize task at how genuine they all were

[@anthonyuchello2031]

Did he get the painting?

[@custardbaby4]

That shot of Sally calmly explaining her turd with Nish silently corpsing in the backdrop at 4:05 may well be the most well-composed shot in the history of broadcast television

[@DynamicAero]

Paul Sinha's speech, something which was no doubt prepared to some extent, might be one of the greatest things on Taskmaster, period. You usually never see the old, befuddled players on Taskmaster ever do something significant about being the biggest liability, and some even lean into it, but Paul throughout the series furiously stands up and shouts "Even if Taskmaster makes me look like a fool, I'm still valuable and intelligent." His speech during the bird-naming challenge and this solidify that he is one of the best contestants on the show, period.

[@ElPestino]

He's really underappreciated, that's for sure. He really won my heart, not even considering the state he was in during filming (injured and ill).

[@goliath_red1102]

Season 8 may have been the worst series but it gave us one of my favourite contestants. Paul is such a gem.

[@iliketrains3495]

It's nice knowing that despite being the overall loser, he's the best scorer for prize tasks in that series

[@timothycahalan1540]

Paul is the silver lining of season 8

[@sydneyglampe1915]

“Tough guy o’clock” always gets me

[@Paralyzed187]

It's easily the best moment from that series. Has to be in my top 5 Taskmaster moments. 😂😂

[@kellyheidel4337]

What about a “Breaking Alex” compilation, where you show tasks that make Alex hide behind his clipboard?

[@crimps321]

I would LOVE that

[@Taolan8472]

Now thats some content right there.

[@megiab]

ohhhhh good idea

[@secretforreddit]

This would be AMAZING!

[@lix2406]

YES PLS

[@Hexen_Wulf]

Alex's little face when he listens to Mike's song is a thing of beauty.

[@thomasreddy416]

I'm guessing the person playing the back-up music may be a member of Alex's band. Does Mike play guitar himself ?

[@hypernova9704]

5:50 what I love about this is that Rhodd had to wait till morning for the sunlight to come through the window so he could film otherwise it was too dark

[@TrevorCopter]

I think Paul’s trophy might be the best of this volume because how everyone thinks it’s absolute rubbish until he reveals it’s stolen 😂

[@billykann7725]

"If there is an elephant in the room, you're in the wrong room" has to be the best life advice I've ever heard...

[@greyforge27]

"They're absolute wrong'uns, are prawns" might be the most British thing ever said

[@AuDHDarling]

As a fellow ADHDer, hats off to Rhod for staying still and quiet inside the closet for so long. That's the kind of psychomotor control we can only exhibit when hyperfocused on something--like a bizarre scheme to stalk a sleeping friend.

[@alicsurn]

it's all about the hyperfocus and for the lolz. Plus, this is what it's like to be friends with someone with ADHD... we literally are the wild card of wild cards

[@averageday]

Ok.

@@h0lly_blue spoken like a person who's always trying to work out which box you can put people in so you can ignore what they are saying. I've taken plenty of therapy, more than enough to tell you that the reason people dislike you is not your diagnosed condition.

[@oshada]

I’ll always feel a tiny bit sad that Mike Wozniak’s big reveal wasn’t before a live audience, what a moment tho

[@hjt091]

Sally and Mike both feature twice in this compilation, which I feel says something about them both

[@BlairKillgallon]

Greg going from genuine shocked face to hysterical laughter after hearing the price of Bob’s poo was brilliant!🤣

[@spruhakurlekar261]

Nish's face while Sally is talking about Bob's poop always gets me

[@carveylover]

Mike's song still slaps. It is just perfection.

[@redelfshotthefood8213]

The Greg Trophy in Space has given me chills. It’s so high up!!!!!! Mike W is a king.

[@gxvq]

Aw… it’s heartwarming how modest Greg Davies’s wardrobe and bedroom is considering how big a star he is!

[@Jovius2k]

Mike Wozniak's song has a bit of an Eric Idle vibe to it. LOVE IT!!!

[@TVFILMBUFF]

Paul's trophy story is thrilling. Hope its true, but what a buzz either way!

[@musabkazi4547]

8:37 Right there, alex had found his successor

[@ITLLBGRAND]

The garden gate is the single greatest prize task entry ever submitted and you can't convince me otherwise!!

[@AsbestosMuffins]

sending the trophy to space was one of the funniest ones ever

[@asianpanda888]

Rhod Gilbert's stalkish video will never not be funny 🤣

[@kathrinrades]

Greg: “I saw you out!” Rhod: “No you didn’t!”

[@penguinkaiser]

[@b.d.hampton]

Ed Gamble not having a second episode of champion of champions to recover and win is just wrong. It took Josh two episodes to win the first Champions and I'm confident Ed would have pulled it out.

[@iliketrains3495]

Well Josh didn't do bad in episode 1 at all, he was one point behind Katherine and just very consistent overall. In fact, he didn't win a single task in the second episode yet still won the episode and the series. Plus Ed could have won with the live task which was an all-or-nothing if I remember right. Also, the apparent reason for COC II only comprising one episode is due to Richard Herring having testicular cancer

[@NikolaiProkoschenko]

That Victoria's "most ridiculous thing" is neither in part 1 nor in part 2 is a crime in itself.

[@romanerullier9117]

RIGHT? I was howling in laughter when this happened. I think it has to do with the fact they would need to show the first appearance of Greedy Esq. which wasn't as funny

[@leeks1408]

I sure hope that no matter who was the winner that round, Guz got the mastiff painting

[@Taolan8472]

You shpuld watch the episode, it's a good one. And yes, Guz got his painting. He also tweeted about it after the episode premiered. Apparently it was very difficult for him to not show it off at every opportunity.

[@OriginalPiMan]

​​@@tobyb1018 No need for pseudoscience. The usual excuse is quite plausible: it's a fisheye lens. Well, maybe a little pseudoscience if it turns out that part of the footage is contradictory which how a fisheye would show it, but I haven't taken that close a look at the video. Edit: took another look, and fisheye seems likely. There are times when it looks like Earth is curved the wrong way, which is an artifact of the lens. At the height this would have gone to, the curve would have been possible to see, but only just, as I understand it.

I think it's balloon shreds. It's minus 56 degrees Celsius up there, so the material is brittle. The balloon bursts when it's inflated to the max. At ground level it's only partially inflated. Then it puffs up more and more, as the air pressure decreases with rising height. So it's like smashing a window.
