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.

Ed Gamble did this task a little bit too well. I am nearly sure that this wasn't his first steamy encounter with hummus

[@blackdragoncyrus]

The crew following David around looked like they couldn't give less of a shit, lmao.

[@chompette_]

the blonde lady laughing when the chickpea fell out was a highlight too

[@zacharygrouwinkel1534]

Ed’s smile when they cut back to him in the studio is what kills me

[@DulishusWaffle]

I know, he looked so fuckin proud of himself lolol

[@hm2448885]

This was one of Ed's best tasks.

One of the most amazing tasks ever! Normally you get one person who goes out of control, but here both Ed and Rose went off the rails completely.

[@seanmcgcostumes]

Ed’s was one of the most iconic task fills of all time. Incredible.

[@GeekPublic]

Ed's response to the task was inspired! And credit to whoever directed the camera work on Rose's task. Those angles and shots made all the difference.

[@myidiosyncrasy]

My favourite thing about watching tasks out of context deom the episode is trying to figure out if alex and greg just look like that or if it was a bit.

[@3338110]

yeah i definitely need context about that!

[@iliketrains3495]

@@3338110 during the opening banter Alex briefly mentioned he and Greg used sunbeds

[@NuSpirit_]

I mean David said what we all thought before the task about what to do with the chickpea 😂

[@hytnrl]

Ed gamble be predicting Saltburn plot hahaha

[@TheBlackDemon1996]

I feel like we started off too strong with Ed's...

[@iliketrains3495]

Yeah I thought it was a weird choice to show that first. Another time the order of the attempts shown was a bit odd was the loo roll task in series 11 where they showed Sarah completing the task the simple way after Jamali's and Lee's loopholes

[@nicosmind3]

Pea-dophilia mixed with necro-pea-lia was Ed's art project.

[@luisguterres7747]

'does anyone remember why they are in orange face? are they like cosplaying Winkleman?

[@PonmonofNuggetor]

There was a joke about them tanning

[@nothingtoseehere2336]

All these years later and I still think the season 9 portrait of Greg looks more like Rolf Harris.

[@jordancopeland7438]

Her acting was too great it just made me legitimately sad....😂 Dude Robbed! First was best by far by far

[@JesseValentine]

Alex is so red he looks like he was marooned on a tropical island. 🥵

[@CthulhuInc]

one of the classics! and one of the greatest lineups to date!

[@natmickan]

What’s the difference between a chickpea and a lentil? I’ve never had a lentil on my face

[@eggchomp]

i’ve always heard that but garbanzo bean instead

[@L0stJ0hnny]

Putin doesn't have video of Donald Trump watching a lentil …

[@phonotical]

And Ed did that in 20 minutes dud he? 👀

[@RyansRandomRants]

Im glad I had the same thoughts as David

[@icturner23]

As Ed’s is in a lot of compilations and he mentions it at every opportunity, I’d forgotten how good Rose’s was. I’d say they should both have had 5 but he has never looked as pretty as in the studio here, so that’s more than enough compensation.

[@chobrowny]

The first thing I thought of for this task was a Viking burial, can't believe Rose thought of something similar 😂

[@DehOllie]

Love the new carrot coloured tan

[@markopecinovic4475]

[@iliketrains3495]

Is this the last time a contestant has gone out in public during a task? Aside from Sam leaving the premises briefly in the nickname task

[@MrTargenor]

he was so smuck about it LOL

Does anyone know why "Pataki"? ("Pataki" means "from the creek" in Hungarian.)

[@suerobinson1323]

A Māori chickpea apparently

[@ojoMGreenAxeManMojo]

20 minutes and he made a short film?

[@auroralong5437]

he should have said "let's shelve that"

Taskmaster redemption! For contestants like James Acaster, Christ Ramsey, and Ed Gamble!

Are the hosts wearing orange bronzer as part of a larger joke?

Why is Alex so orange?

Know the difference between a chickpea and a lentil? You can’t pay £50 to have a lentil on your face

[@Wistful77]

🤨No funeral for the chickpea? 🤔

[@CompleteChaos2]

We NEED an Ed Gamble & James Acaster Taskmaster partnership. PLEASE!

[@truboo4268]

If I had a nickel for the number of times a contestant fucked the inanimate object they were supposed to use, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice.

Is it me or is the makeup on the hosts a bit to brown in this one? they sorta looked liked they smeared something on them.

I seem to recall someone saying that they meant to turn it into a running joke for that episode, but nobody mentioned it and their idea failed. I'm not sure, though

[@akisavolainen4918]

Why is David so painfully unfunny? All those years doing "comedy" or atleast hanging around funny people should've taught him something.
