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.

I love it that they prepared a collection of Goosebumps books in case one of the contestants was a creative genius.

[@Taolan8472]

They were probably placed in the caravan deliberately at the beginning of the filming cycle because this task was on the docket. If anyone pulled a James Acaster and actually paid attention to their surroundings, they could have potentially used them here.

[@jamiegdubois]

Literally my first thought was, “okay, where can I find a copy of Goosebumps?”

[@Elwaves2925]

@@jamiegdubois Desiree used videos on a phone, so I'm fairly sure they could have brought up the TV show on it and shown it to someone in the lab. EDIT: And I just heard Alex say this very thing.

[@kisbie]

I’m sure those books are the reason we in 🇬🇧 now say ‘goosebumps’ instead of the classic ‘goose pimples’.

[@ytpete2]

This is one task I know I could win since, whether it's a wind chill or a particularly moving song, I am perpetually on the edge of getting goosebumps.

[@Callammurray]

All I need to do is scratch two pieces of cardboard together and I'm done.

[@chunkieliest]

@@Callammurray just thinking of scratching nails on a chalkboard does it for me

[@allasar]

I did not get this task. I can get goosebumps at will, and it takes me one second. Until I saw this task, I honestly thought everyone could do that.

[@PinkFlyingNarwhal]

If I just rub my hands over my upper arms or back or shoulders I get them.

[@sheilaboston7051]

For me, it's even just _thinking_ about snakes.

[@floopyboo]

Good to see ol' goosebump arms on the show tonight.

I think OGA made a valid point there when she suggested that you can garner a reputation retroactively.

[@barneymetcalfe8896]

Best jumper I’ve ever seen!!!

We're lucky that "Ol' Goosebump Arm" has stuck as a nickname for Victoria, but we're even more lucky "Ol' Drippy Crack" has not for Guz

[@tterexx426]

Best comment!

[@owentaylorwork]

I have always been a huge fan of old goosebump arm

[@TobiNightcore]

Am I the only one who can give myself goosebumps on command by making a shiver run down my spine? Gives me goosebumps all over my legs

[@junbh2]

Well, being able to make a shiver go down your spine is impressive, so....

[@Mechrofizzle]

I can as well!

[@linkachuap]

I give myself goosebumps super easily as well by doing the same thing

[@ur2g2b4got]

Me too! This was so easy. I can get it in seconds

[@PatinaX73]

Did Old Goosebumb Arm ever get her deserved points?

[@DaddyBeanDaddyBean]

Old Goosebump Arm, or OGA as I like to call her (she calls me DBDB), is my favorite character in this series.

[@ambsspence]

I'd have listened to a really good song, I get goosebumps when I listen to music.

[@Tao_Tology]

The producers realised (too late) that Ol' Goosebump Arms would be at a clear advantage on this task. No wonder they did not award her her due points, what a swizz.

[@mortimerc317]

Yeah, it's like asking Leonardo Davinci to do davincing.

[@Kirsten_is_cursed10]

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again - ole’ Goosbump Arms is the best in the game! 😂

[@InternetPersond]

Shout out to Ole Goosebumps Arms. 💐

[@The22ndDoctor]

I submit that Alex using Old Goosebump Arms, and everyone knowing who he is talking about stands as the verification that she should be awarded 5 points and first place for this task. Add to that, the fact that it is so tied to her, Lord Greg only knows her by that name now. "Victoria and Gus... Who? Old Goosebump Arms and Gus"

[@theblitz9]

I would win this hands down. I can get goosebumps on request. Simply shiver and there they are.

[@HOTD108_]

Unlikely.

[@brinsonopinion]

As only Ol' Goosebump Arm can

[@brinsonopinion]

Exactly how retroactive would the awarding of points be for Ol' Goosebump Arm? Enough to warrant an edited post-script onto the existing episode perhaps? I think we could make this happen.

[@Tao_Tology]

'Tonight's top story: The Taskmaster Points Reconcilliation negotiations have again broken down with both sides adamant that they have no further concessions they are willing to consider. The mood had seemed hopeful only a week ago, as the negotiations entered their 11th year.'

If Victoria got the retrospective win, series 12 would now be a tie between Morgana and Guz

[@bbcseriesfan]

1. Get my phone and earbuds. 2. Plug in any music from Hans Zimmer. 3. Get goosebumps in 2 seconds flat.

[@Georgie13]

I can get goosebumps by thinking about the back of my neck being tingley

[@saneerasmus]

in my language, we don't call it goosebumps, but what would translate to "chicken flesh" or "chicken meat" sooooooooooooo I'd argue Alan nailed it

[@BleuSquid]

Old Goosebump Arm is the best contestant!

[@xxxx85]

Lots of music that I like give me massive goosebumps, is this weird? I paused the video after I heard the task, searched for Aniron and skipped ahead a little. I had goosebumps all over my arm (and down my back and leg) after like 20 seconds. I also tried with Gollum's Song (LotR), For the Love of a Princess (Braveheart), Across the Stars (Star Wars), The Wheat (Gladiator). Some of these I have massive goosebumps after less than 10 seconds, all of them in less than 30 seconds.

[@oBseSsIoNPC]

I am actually most surprised how little the contestants know their body. I have three sure ways of getting goose bumps on command. Getting chilled is the long winded one, scratching around my back, there are a few great spots. Or running a feather or something light to the touch on certain parts of my skin, but I know exactly how and what. Takes just seconds. Very interesting task!

[@bluemark25]

Maybe they do know their body. I can only get goosebumps if I'm cold. I'm reading all these comments about various ways people get goosebumps and now I'm wondering if I'm the weird one or if yall are. Lol

[@algot34]

Am I the only one who can make myself get goosebumps just by thinking about it? It's like a wave from my neck that you sort of pulsate down towards your arms and lower body. I can only do it a few times before I need to recharge and wait a few minutes in order to do it again. And it can't be too hot outside either.

[@Harambae613]

Press 8 for the start of the "Ole Goosebump Arm" Era

[@theob1712]

I read the title and figured out I can get goosebumps on command. Its not warm today though lol. I just think of how a good song makes me feel, instant chills.

[@LNRDi]

Classic Old Goosebump Arms performance here

[@hundragant]

All I have to do is very lightly brush my fingers along my arms or back and I get instant goosebumps. I do it to myself all the time cause the "tingles" feel good.

[@justanothercomment]

I'm sitting in a heated room with a warm hoodie right now.. and I still have goosebumps. I think I'd nail this task 😂

[@courtneyg8608]

Please do a Taskmaster fan favorite/redemption series where contestants that did not win but were well liked are voted upon by fans and can compete again. Maximum one person from a series. For example, my ideal lineup is: James Acaster Mel Giedroyc Nish Kumar Mike Wozniak Asim Chaudhry Please consider this!

[@GregPolkinghorne]

I got goosebumps watching this at 2 minutes. Even more than old goosebump arms.

[@lisahenry20]

My initial thought was to jump in the shower, stand under water as hot as you can, make sure to get your hair really wet, then run outside. If you don't think the goosebumps will last for you to get back in the lab, take a picture while inside and show it in the lab.

[@Ade_1]

Poor old goose bump arms robbed of a task winning point

[@tosmokefromseed3515]

Nobody went for music? Thats instant goosebumps

[@JustJakeK]

So, retroactively speaking... "Old goosebump arm" is now a highly searched google, can the Taskmaster please at some point go back to see if this would change the scores in any meaningful way? (LETS GET THIS COMMENT UP SO THE TASKMASTER SEE´S IT)

[@pallen2645]

Is it an unusual ability to just be able to give yourself goosebumps at-will? Because I can. And I've never even thought about until now.

[@Victoria-dh9vb]

Man. I suck at pretty much everything, but I could have totally won this. I can get goosebumps pretty consistently on demand.

[@Rich.H68]

Old goose bump arm deserved a point

[@adamriekert1984]

That Morgana did that, makes her the sexiest woman alive!

[@phillanderson434]

I would have scratched the task. My finger nails running on paper always gives me instant goosebumps

[@lanzelot1989]

My first instinct was "music will probably play a role in this task". I can now say that it took me two other choruses before, but the one in "Mother We Share" from Chvrches got me the intended goosebumps.

[@riverfuture]

I hummed Ave Maria for like 5 seconds and goosebumps everywhere lol

[@chaseneufeld3406]

Gotta love ol goose bump arms tenacity on this challenge

[@vampirefox7]

i would go get my phone and play a song or youtube videos that give me goosebumps. you need loud and good headphones but i could win that within a minute

[@MO_OKAYU_GU]

I literally went and tested a song I knew would give me goosebumps. 21 seconds was all it took

[@vampirefox7]

@@MO_OKAYU_GU so easy and while it would have looked boring no one would have beenable to touch that time. also i think it would be a classic "OHH!" from the contestants and the audience as everyone calls you a genius

[@Statsy10]

I have an entire playlist on my phone entitled "Transcendent". Only goosebump enducing songs make that list.

[@vueloify]

I'm just surprised nobody put on the Interstellar theme by Hans Zimmer. That gives be both goosebumbs and makes me borderline cry everytime I hear it.

[@julianwalnuss7581]

Oh damn, I just realized I could think of a certain piece of music and that's enough to give me goosebumps.

[@Harambae613]

I tweeted Old Goosebump Arm asking why she didn’t play “In Paradisum” or “Nessun Dorma” on her phone. She responded she thinks about that often and that she would have chosen Whitney Houston’s rendition of “The Star Spangled Banner.”

Just slide your finger across the inside of your arm, across where the joint for the elbow is. Usually when I do that I get goose bumps.

[@dhendable]

I think I could have given myself goosebumps by just listening to music. "In your words" by Lamb of God gets me every time :). Also "Dark Beach" by Pastel Ghost has been doing it for me lately too.

[@johanvajse8410]

I know the points don't matter but to count Alan's right after not counting Victoria's is COMPLETE horseshit

[@Ruminations09]

Alan brought in the namesake of goosebumps. Victoria drew rings on her arm that did not even remotely resemble bumps. To imply the two of them performed the task equally well is ludicrous. I would not have been surprised if Greg decided that Alan also didn't derverve points, but if only one of them could get points, Alan deserved them much more than Victoria.

[@Alicia-zf3nq]

In Dutch we call goosebumps "chickenskin" so Alan's attempt definitely counts

[@mareau2193]
