Draw the Biggest & Best Circle | Full Task | Taskmaster

[@beemoh]

One of the best things about rewatching Tasks is that, knowing the result, you can see from the panellists' body language how they've performed. At 0:56 you can tell James knows what he's in for. His mouth is smiling, but his circles certainly aren't.

[@Tobycek]

“How dare you even speak!” One of the funniest things Greg has ever said, and completely fair comment after that absolute abomination from James.

[@paxmaniac1]

I really wanted Alex to project Rhod's "circle" onto a globe to see what shape it actually would be in the real world.

[@akaraven66]

The circle would be much like Rhod's head space, a mess.

[@balthazar259]

It's very un-circular actually, it would look like a weird ellipse But still, points for creativity

[@cadenza23]

He only used a map of Europe so there wouldn’t really be any noticeable warping if you showed it on a globe

[@randomdude8790]

I like how Rhod often offers support and gives genuine compliments to his fellow contestants despite being... Well, Rhod

[@MontyMonferno]

he always gets stabbed in the back as well 😭😭

[@sploofmcsterra4786]

He seems like a nice bloke, why wouldn't he?

[@_TheDudeAbides_]

@@sploofmcsterra4786Yeah, he is a really nice person. Some people just can't understand people have several sides. He does sound a bit angry from time to time but he is also very nice.

[@ninjablade2]

He may be Rhod, but that doesn't mean he has to be rood

[@tronmcrae]

He did that so they would accept his wacky attempt as legitimate.

[@iheartbusterk82]

James Acaster’s fundamental misunderstanding about what the task entails may be one of the funniest things ever on Taskmaster. I regularly think of “my eyes are circles” on a regular basis. Also Kerry’s joy at seeing the snow is great.

[@cyberwomble7524]

When Greg says "the balls of the man", I was hoping James would say "and they're circles...".

[@themug406]

Regularly thinking of something would imply its on a regular basis yes

It's up there with "It's an absolute casserole down there" in terms of all-time great Taskmaster quotes.

ironic how kerry complains at the start that she’s “restricted by the limitations” of what taskmaster has and then is very fortunately filming on a snowy day, meaning she makes the biggest circle XD

[@201081hero]

I like how when Alex says to James its supposed to be the biggest and best circle James desperately tries to think of something quickly in order to cover what he's actually done, but the bit with Greg in the studio is the icing on the cake (including the "how dare you even speak!" after Kerry's attempt").

[@Lolatusername]

James' face at "How dare you even speak" is hilarious

[@Dibudab]

Depending on maps projection Rhods circle could've been a really bad circle tbh

[@SteveZeee]

Rhod used a map of Europe, so the warping would be minimal.

[@antman7673]

my thoughts exactly

[@Zaros262]

Still better than Jesse's

[@domgarcia2102]

Seeing Greg apoplectic for James chiming in brought tears to my eyes 😂

[@myguyry]

I love how Jess is just as entertained by her performance as we are.

[@RickeGnool]

Greg's reaction to James ''circle'' will never stop being funny to me.

[@somepianoguy]

There should be a compilation of contestants making up their own tasks! The circles, Alice Levine and the pancake, "am I the spider?"....

[@ducttapeanddreams]

"Am I the animal in the hat"

[@RickeGnool]

This is basically what Bridget Christie did with like half of her task in s13.

[@iliketrains3495]

"Kiss this portrait of Greg at the beginning of every task" which inspired an actual task later on

[@meganc60]

Luke McGregor from Taskmaster Australia would deserve to be there, he made up several tasks/games completely unrelated to the real tasks and then challenged the assistant to them lmaooo

[@jackwang9536]

Kerry was lucky to have snow. But she does deserve credit for doing the task out there on a pretty cold day without a coat. I would always be so miserable during those London winters.

[@pauljmorton]

Finally the full task. Acaster's part is a staple in highlight compilations but I've never seen the full task until now.

[@DougKaplan]

Yea the reaction of Greg after James starts going after Rhod was what was missing in all those compilation videos.

[@drink_4_nikolai]

The way Greg looks at Rhod at 7:30 is enough to rile him up, and make him go from “Wonderful,” to “Is cheeten”

[@blackdragoncyrus]

"How dare you even speak?!"

[@dp-g5i]

Best series

[@mat_tamarin]

Absolute peak Taskmaster, every single attempt had some level of drama to it. 😂

[@MikeMJPMUNCH]

I love how Greg scorning James' attempt to do circle is exactly like a teacher telling off a schoolboy for not doing his homework.

[@Pasta_Pirate]

While James was hilarious, I can't believe no-one is talking about the "nice circle," "yeah, um I think... *Looking down in utter confusion* ...where is it? IT WAs here." The way he said it literally sounded exactly like when someone misplaces something except in this he misplaced a supposedly 5 metre wide circle he should've been standing within

[@grit1]

"...my eyes are circles" still makes me laugh even if I've heard it a dozen times now

[@billyeveryteen7328]

As someone who works in entertainment in Los Angeles, it's wild to me that you can have such wildly different weather while filming. In Los Angeles, it doesn't matter if you're filming in February or July, the weather is pretty much going to be the same both times.

[@hundovir]

Hence why discussion of the weather plays such a large role in daily British greetings and small talk. We're obsessed with it!

[@Tao_Tology]

An island. Lots of weather patterns coming in off the sea.

[@chevalierdupapillon]

@@Tao_Tology True as far as sudden change goes. On the other hand I know from personal experience that a very continental climate such as here in Berlin, precisely because we are far more removed from the Ocean (the Baltic Sea has less of an effect due to being so contained), tends to produce harsher extremes. In July we can easily have more than 30 degrees Celsius (around 90 F), whereas in February we sometimes go down to -15 C (5 F).

[@AlexandraK1]

The world is bigger than California/US? :)

[@zacharygrouwinkel1534]

I’m not surprised someone from LA isn’t smart enough to comprehend that different places have different weather.

[@princesspinkblue]

One of the most iconic tasks of the show’s history

[@JonoConstantini]

The definitive Taskmaster classic, hands down.

[@ImpossibleCakePro]

I'm surprised nobody took the smartass route and wrote the word 'Circle' as big as they could along the entire driveway, but I guess doing that in cursive script might have made it unusually difficult

[@Mijuki]

I'm still curious how exactly James intepretated the task to do THAT as a result

[@tjenadonn6158]

The machinations of James' mind are an enigma.

[@genericname2747]

​@@tjenadonn6158*milk carton falls over, the milk forming a circle*

[@lhfirex]

To paraphrase James on another show: "Started doing it, had a breakdown, bon appetit."

[@KoyasuNoBara]

The _best_ explanation I can come up with is that A. He immediately forgot the literal wording of the task, and interpreted "draw a circle" as "make a circle." To be fair, I also did this, and had to rewind to double-check when Greg said the task required drawing. B. He also immediately forgot biggest was part of the challenge C. He decided he would never be able to do a perfect circle, so he reinterpreted "best" as "coolest" or something and decided Circle-ception would be a much better circle than just a single perfectly-drawn one.

[@alyssaralston2034]

I think instead of "draw the biggest circle in ine go" his brain said "make the most circles in one go"

[@danniantagonist]

A brilliant task with some of the best ideas, and the best arguments. Really mischievous and fun. Love a bit of "teacher mode" Greg 🥰🥰

[@Felitaur]

"Where is it? It was here." Great line.

[@Medikate_VT]

7:56 will always make me die of laughter

[@Mammutidae]

The teacher/naughty student vibes between those two absolutely made S7 the best one.

[@theplasmawolf]

When I first saw this, I had a laughing fit from Greg's summary of James's work, and then James came with his response. I had to pause the video at that time to catch my breath.

[@sanatprasad1594]

A shining example of keeping your cool while a giant angry man looks at you like he wants to reorganise your limbs

[@Alexand3ry]

I'd have liked to see the show-runners draw Rob's "circle" on an actual globe. Just to see what shape comes out.

[@Alexand3ry]

(FYI, the biggest circle you can draw on a globe is a straight hoop around it... which Rob could have a achieved with a single vertical line anywhere on the sheet of paper)

[@SgtSupaman]

@@Alexand3ry , but the current perspective does matter. A single line across the map wouldn't qualify as a circle, because it would merely be a line segment of a hypothetical circle.

[@flitlis]

Kerry’s expression in the end is well deserved!

[@ThatGuyRicky000]

She most definitely drew the most perfect and beautiful circle. Maybe the biggest?

[@ElizaWorner]

I would have drawn the rings of Saturn. They're not the biggest circle I can think of, but they're the biggest AND best.

[@Riymbo]

He was told to draw the best and biggest circle, what he decided to do instead, was go full circus

[@Anythingforfreedom]

Flower would have been better for marking the circle but everyone also forgot there's a golf course on the other side of the fence.

[@ibbymiah6402]

"How dare you even speak" 🤣🤣🤣

[@tylerbakeman]

If drawing on a map is the biggest circle, then one could draw the solar system and draw a circle around it - creating an even bigger circle.

[@checktaschu4492]

Rhod drew on a 2D projection of earth. If you say it covered the biggest area, then you should be looking at it in 3D space, which means it is no longer a circle.

[@nicoleh5768]

I love the way Rhod's mind works

[@antman7673]

I think a cool idea would have been a beamer and projecting the light for a big perfect circle.

[@sploofmcsterra4786]

[@leeks1408]

To even imagine James’ thought process in attempt that task is…confusing 😆

[@nospaulatu]

I was hoping Rhod was going to draw a straight line across the equator of the world map, thus making the largest possible circle on Earth!

[@AustinCameron]

Best group

Acaster's great sin was enjoying himself.

[@ApolloVIIIYouAreGoForTLI]

You can tell Kerry was ready to kick off if she didn’t get the 5 points… rightfully so.

[@seth8580]

Well I mean she did basically get it handed to her on a plate by having snow

[@lissamk3990]

I probably would have just traced the existing circular compass patio with chalk. It might not be massive, but at least it would be difficult for me to mess up the actual circle. 🙂 (Unless I happened to be then when it was snowing, of course! )

[@zouchmusic]

Rhod didn't desrve that as he drew a small circle.

[@KoyasuNoBara]

No, I'm actually satisfied with that outcome. 1. Didn't draw anything 2. Drew something, but we couldn't see it 3. Was definitely not a circle 4. Rhod's circle drawn on paper was therefore a much better circle than all the other contestants that came before him, regardless of whether it being on a map influenced anything. 5. Biggest and Best Circle

[@NathanaelKeller]

Rod's circle is the largest. But that very uneven. A few hundred kilometers difference in radius at points.

[@niceguy191]

If you factor in the map projection, it'd be very lopsided too

"My eyes are circles?" ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ hahahha

[@Yes-iu3kr]

Probably one of the best examples of Greg's friendship with Rhod affecting scores.

[@Lockieez]

I think 2nd place was deserved as he drew a circle that was both a circle and visible (regardless of size). 3rd-5th place either didn't draw a circle, drew one badly (so wasn't technically a circle), or it wasn't visible.

[@LastLighthouse]

I say my eyes are circles more than you think in every day life

[@ArjunChoorakunnan]

In a map it may look like a circle, but in a Globe or in actual scenario it will look like an elongated oval shape. Task master should give much more attention to the details...

[@DF-je3lz]

I literally rewatched this episode an hour before this was posted

[@RoderickEtheria]

Here you go. I drew the biggest and best circle. I just didn't draw it to scale.

[@notalostnumber8660]

I mean, if you make an straight line across the equator, that's a better circle than Rhod's

[@Tao_Tology]

You'd need to draw on a globe.

[@zouchmusic]

It would be about the same size as Rhod went across both poles.
