Get the Duck Into the Lake | Full Task | Taskmaster

[@JoeBleasdaleReal]

The dismay from Lucy when she said “I haven’t changed the rules in any of these” was the perfect preface to the 9 episodes of utter chaos that followed 😂😂😂

[@andreaskarlsson5251]

Haha yes. 😂😂😂

[@ervinmiracle]

I'm a bit surprised nobody deflated the duck. It was my first thought. I had to go back and listen to the task to make sure it wasn't excluded as a solution.

[@michaelangellotti4773]

Was my first thought as well.

[@MusikCassette]

@@michaelangellotti4773 mine too.

[@joevictor53]

I remember this was my first thought back when I saw this episode. This needed a Rosie Jones type contestant. She would've stabbed it and deflated it immediately

[@petertaylor4980]

My first thought was that you're not allowed to leave the course, but you start outside it and there's no requirement to enter it...

[@iliketrains3495]

It would probably take too long to get all the air out of it, but I guess it's still worth a shot.

[@QuantumHistorian]

2:02 Alex is about to correct the 4 *sets* of arms comment, and then realises that it's not worth trying to inject any sense into this conversation

[@MedusaMrigesh]

One of my favourite Alex moments.

"We have to move on with the show, Greg"

[@Tao_Tology]

Horne inner monologue: 'Wait, four _sets_ of arms?'

[@circeus]

Not gonna lie I thought I misheard the conversation 'cause Lucy didn't give the impression she believed herself to be an octopus XD Glad to know it was greg and not me having a bluescreen moment.

[@bugbear2357]

🤨 ☝️😧 😮‍💨

[@paulomatute4114]

Surprised me that it wasn't revealed that there was a small duck hidden somewhere

[@user-jn4sw3iw4h]

Same. "We're starting with these 3" (common, I know) I assumed, ok the other 2 are: - the one who deflated the duck - and the one who found the small one

[@TheComixkid2099]

WAS THERE A DUCK ON MY FACE!?

[@brianv4100]

To see Greg so utterly speechless at Lucy and her 4 arms...priceless 🤣

[@ScornfulEg0tist]

8 arms (four sets)

[@caltheuntitled8021]

My immediate thought upon hearing the task was that if you never have the duck enter the course, it can’t leave it, and therefore it doesn’t have to return. Just move the duck a few meters to the left or right, then roll it along the side.

[@ThePixel1983]

And my first thought was "how far could I throw the obstacles and boundary?"

[@CompWiz17]

Exactly. The duck only needs to re-enter the course if it leaves it. If it doesn't enter the course, it'll never leave the course. So, just drag or kick it along to the lake outside of the course entirely.

[@Cheapiebeepie]

This is what I was thinking too

[@42grath]

I love this season so much. Lucy just absolutely perplexing Greg with her legs are arms but without fingers is just *chef's kiss*

[@samanthawoods8000]

The task lays out all the rules that must be followed. So, when Sue moved the boundaries and the obstacles -- she didn't "change the rules." She just used a better strategy than Lucy.

[@Suplyndmnd]

"Legs are just arms without hands". Such a profound statement!

'Legs are just the arms of the hips'

I just now realized how many cameras they own, there must be like 50 for all these shots

[@Sheer_Falacy]

The fact that you never see any of the other cameras, even in the wide shots, is really impressive.

[@icturner23]

They probably rent some or all of them.

[@Paul-vi3on]

Nah, usually those low, stationary angles (like from below a flamingo) they just use things like GoPros I think. Nowadays their quality is decent enough.

[@Soloman_Gumball]

@@Sheer_Falacy They edit them out a lot, and sometimes they do forget. There will just be slightly blurry parts of the background and that likely was a camera person.

[@markc5999]

I would have just delated the duck

[@samanthawoods8000]

Deflate the duck! That was my initial idea ... but Susan's dragging method was clearly superior. As OG fans will remember, Mel had to deflate a beach ball, and deflation takes longer than one might think (even if you don't fully deflate the item).

[@Wyrnikh]

Depends on how big the hole is!!

[@sonan333]

Yeah, but you don't need to get the whole duck to the water, since, technically, it's not like the whole duck would touch the water in the normal way, anyway.

[@chug-chug-pickles]

7:30 will always make me laugh 😂 😂, both Julian’s question and Alex’s answer whilst the duck bobbles along is just stupidly funny.

[@95DreadLord]

Not only did Susan not think outside the box but she was extremely good at doing the task how it appeared at face value and it secured a win. Sometimes being quick beats being clever in this show

[@pooh4900]

why was my immediate reaction after hearing the task stab it

[@kristianstipe]

Mine too!

[@matthewwilliams2093]

Same

[@Wyvernnnn]

I think you would have won! Provided you didn't touch the beak folding it up

[@matttthewcheng]

Same!

[@JohnVanderbeck]

A lot of people said that, but you infaltables that big have a rigid frame, so I'm not sure how much that would really help.

[@iliketrains3495]

Regardless of them no longer being together, Lucy chastising Sue for using lateral thinking was very Jon Richardson-esque

[@untexan]

And then she breaks the only rule that actually was spelled out

[@DanTheMan2150AD]

Julian being mildly exasperated at Alex the entire time is my spirit animal.

[@Soloman_Gumball]

You can't buy them that big

Next task should have been, 'retrieve the duck.'

[@jurds216]

This was my favorite season. I loved this cast!

[@zivunknown]

... There was a rule saying IF the fuck leaves the course, it must return to where it left it, BUT... There was not rule that said it must enter the course in the first place!

There are so many rules about leaving the course, and yet, not a single one about not even entering once.

deflate the duck, as it's deflating go around the course (never enter it), put it into the lake.

I used to know someone who used 'beak' as a name for cocaine. He'd probably have the same ethos that if the beak were in front of him that he'd struggle not to touch it

[@SixStringsandSauce]

The rules say that if the duck leaves the course, it must re-enter at the point it left. My first thought was that the duck can't leave the course if it never enters, so I would've just dragged the duck down to the lake missing the course entirely. Get it done in about 30 seconds.

[@iuriikononenko9238]

Surprised why no one popped up the duck for an easier walkthrough!

[@czzeru]

wish someone would've just picked up the rubber duck and walked with it

[@Gold3nEagle200]

i would have wanted to just bust it and take the deflated version :D

[@stuartrockin]

0:37 - what is happening with the clouds in the background ?!

[@almightykellus2585]

The editors do that sometimes, they like to do it with planes too

[@Theinstrument_Mayonaise]

Well it never said you had to enter the course only that it must stay in the course

[@StarlahMutiny]

[@Memphis_ritz]

They should’ve just used their keys or one of the flamingo poles to pop it and deflate it

[@corro202]

Great video.

[@WalterBurton]

😂😂😂 @ Alex @ 2:02

[@pyrolight7568]

1. Deflate it so it is easier to move 2. Kick all the crap out of the way No rules broken.

[@Chaos_Cultist]

It never specified that the duck needs to enter the course in the first place. Just avoid the obstacle course all together.

[@thomasthomasson2319]

Rubber ducks and pineapples? Add in a leafblower and it's the platonic ideal of Taskmaster tasks

[@RottenRogerDM]

Why didn't someone pop it ?

0:36 I've rewound this three times. That has to be special effects replacing the sky with a time lapse of clouds, but why? It's lovely, but is there any other reason? (I haven't watched the rest of the video, in case that's an easter egg that gets explained later).

[@inazuma-fulgur]

Only thing I can think of is that it's the same thing as with the taskmaster intro sky

Heh, they do random stuff like that all the time. Check out how many times planes overhead are in shots for tasks at the house.

[@Boudleaux]

@@DodderingOldMan The house is close to Heathrow. I love it when it the editors make the planes (and geese) fly backwards.

[@Wyrnikh]

I’d have popped the cussed thing and dragged the deflated husk down to be dumped unceremoniously into the water… I heard no rules saying it had to stay inflated!!

[@PrometheusMMIV]

Maybe it's deceptive, but it doesn't look that heavy. I wonder why none of them tried to just pick it up and carry it to the end?

[@qwerty3793]

Probably the awkward size and shape. Picking it up and holding onto it/keeping it balanced might've been a problem, especially without touching the beak or accidentally dropping it out of bounds. I would've probably just dragged it to the end 😅

[@nicholascrow8133]

Anyone else's first thought was to deflate the duck?

[@SimplyPaul]

That's no beak, that's a bill. It's not a giant rubber chicken, is it?

[@peterclarke7006]

I thought this, so I looked it up. Turns out there's no difference. There's no consensus as to which term is "correct" in which circumstances, at least not in ornithological circles, and both terms are synonymous with each other. Therefore they're perfectly correct in calling it a beak, and I've learned my essentially useless fact for the day 😂

how tf did someone not just deflate the duck?

[@funkyfish90]

Suprised no one thought to just not enter the course to begin with.

[@alainbourgault1937]

Why would you think about moving the boundaries and the obstacles but not deflate the duck? That was the 1st thing came to my mind when they read the rules.

[@NocturnalPyro]

1:25 first things first, I would instantly pop it, since nothing in the rules says I can't, then I would remove all the obstacles as I get to them, since nothing in the rules says I can't.

*This is a re-upload. why the fresh upload of the same video?*

Did the instruction say it had to be kept inflated? My first thought was to puncture and deflate the bugger...

[@darknessblades]

Soo nobody deflated the duck?

[@SixEightySeven]

They should have ignored the course completely and went on a direct route to the lake. If you dont enter the course, you cant leave it.

[@Ahlurglgr]

Why did no one just deflate the duck..?

[@iliketrains3495]

It would probably take too long

[@Ahlurglgr]

@iliketrains3495 there's no rule saying you can't damage the duck

[@sonan333]

I first thought about popping the duck, but then I thought that might take too long to deflate. But then, the rules never said the whole thing had to make it to the lake, so really, all you need to do is tear off a part and throw it into the water. Though hearing that just pushing the duck only took three minutes, I'm not jure tearing a piece off could be done faster (potentially struggling with finding a seam to tear it at).

[@JCarpinator]

No where did it say the duck must be inflated or use the course.

[@jamends1220]

Hitting your diversity quota with this one.

[@Fabius11k]

i might be outing myself as a huge idiot here.. but how heavy could that duck possibly be? it is only full of air, right? i fell like one could grab it by the wing and just hold it above the head? am i missing something? 😅

It’s not the weight, it’s the balance. That’s the real problem

[@Callaghan552]

It would get blown right out of your arms with a gust

[@xantiom]

Regarding the law, it didn't change the rule, she executed to the letter of the rule. And by law what it's not illegal, it is legal. That's how the real laws work as well, and that's how you find legal loopholes. That's exactly what lawfirms do.
