Greg Davies TRICKS Comedians Into Solo Tasks | Taskmaster | Channel 4

[@ir0ngamer393]

I love how smug Josh was thinking Alex was having to watch 5 people counting pointless shit

[@lisahenry20]

I love the idea that it was originally supposed to be a task that everyone did, but because josh said that and he was the first one to do it, they didn't make anyone else do it

[@ninawooh]

During those 5 months Mark did a survival episode with Bear Grylls and wasnt allowed the phone so wrote out extra texts for his wife to send, while he was freezing in the wops.

[@jdrm3710]

Fun fact: That extra point made Josh the champion of that season.

So did "The little fucker" point in series 12 when it comes to morgana

[@jdrm3710]

@@DragOnDani01 Yeah, if it weren't for Greg giving out those bonus points, 2 season finale will have a tie points. And also, Morgana's bonus point was just him being amused by her sassiness unlike Josh's bonus point to do multiple individual secret task that aren't part of the official tasks and doesn't give any official points.

[@JeremyTheGraten]

Well, 148 IS NOT 150. It's binary. It is or is not 150. 150 was the required amount, no more, no less. If it is not achieved, no points should be.

[@butzmn7190]

Yet it's incredibly funny

[@jaredc5791]

@@JeremyTheGraten Well the task was "5 months." 150 was just shorthand math, roughly 30 days a month, times 5, equals 150. What if there was a February? We don't know exactly how many texts he needed (though I'm aware there is no situation it isn't -at least- 150).

[@thomas.leitner]

Just in case someone is interested: quote: RadioTimes previously spoke to series director Andy Devonshire.. Although the small team that work behind the scenes on the show (only around 15-20 people in total) come up with “a few”, it’s Alex Horne who thinks up the majority of the weird, wonderful and hilarious tasks. “Alex is basically a superhero in terms of his humour and wit,” said Andy. :end quote
