Get Your Luggage Through Security | Full Task | Taskmaster

From Series 11: Get all of your luggage through security. You must stay inside the maze until your luggage has been through the x-ray machine. You may go under one rope, and release one rope. You may also disconnect one pole completely, but you must then pick up that pole and carry it for the rest of the task. If any of your luggage touches any of the barriers, the maze will restart and you must start again.

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.

If security didn’t spot the water bottle then you got through

[@ThePuliUkko]

Here you can put 2L liquid through security, so don't get that one.

[@middlekingdomfarmrebeccapa5035]

I found this one frustrating because "everything was NOT on the task" this time. It did not specify the water or the passport. They just took Alex's word that they needed it.

Yea. They let mike trough with the Water and even though it was bullying Jamali did get trough as well. That was annoying yea

[@ShaggyRogers1]

The water was the real dumb one. Requiring the documents to "get through security" makes sense. The bottle of water? That is on "security" to catch and not allow.

[@TheShockwave114]

@@maxwell_edison Alex did confirm that, that out of the box thinking is what taskmaster is all about

[@Waffles783]

At 10:05 Greg says "*if* the passport was part of the rules, you can't have the points", then makes a look over as if waiting for someone to object that the passport wasn't in fact part of the rules. But nobody did, so Alex took over. I think it's a weak task overall (especially the water bit).

[@tshou520]

I would argue that it was security's job to find the water bottle.

[@barcafan1033]

Passengers can send liquid through security. Their bag will get pulled to the side and they’ll look a bit dim for forgetting they had it, but they’ll be able to continue their trip. Task was get all your luggage through security not get all of your luggage through security with no issues that might flag it.

[@david40k]

Through security, not through the xray scanner. Getting through security means you passed security screening.

[@barcafan1033]

It’s semantics, but it’s a comedic show for fun where the points are made up so it’s all good. I thought this was one of the more poorly designed and written tasks but intelligent minds can differ.

[@93DavidJ]

​@@david40kgetting through security just means that you get through security. Whether or not the security officers stop you is entirely up to them. If you make it through the security it doesn't matter what you have. You've made it through security.

[@val_de_maar]

​@@93DavidJyeah, Mike got through security. If the security guard (Alex) didnt stop them for the water, they got away with it. They got through security. In my mind Alex should have stood next to the machine and said: "Well sir, please remove the water from your luggage". Then Mike would have had to go through the luggage and find the water to pass security

[@ryanschwartz4959]

@@val_de_maar To be fair, the maze had a sign that said "Absolutely No Liquids Allowed", hence why Charlotte and Mike got disqualified. Though why Lee wasn't disqualified for leaving the pole behind when getting his boarding pass and passport, I don't know

[@blackdragoncyrus]

Mike taking the luggage with him after the task is something I imagine myself doing.

[@janhetjoch]

The passport and boarding pass weren't on the task, nor was the water not being allowed trough. It was just "get the luggage trough security". If there was some line about having to follow alex' instructions I guess it would be fair, but as is this was judged poorly by greg imo

[@val_de_maar]

Kind of surprised that Mike didnt object to it

[@lhfirex]

This group didn't have a lot of rules lawyer types who would argue points like that, but I agree it could've been argued and I bet Greg would've been convinced.

[@Waffles783]

Greg was setting them up to object that the task never said anything about the liquids or the boarding pass, but nobody took the bait.

[@josemaria8177]

Mike went into flashback mode to one of his hollidays abroad and fully believed he was about to board a plane to Costa Del Sol

[@jrobertech]

After watching dozens of episodes I've deduced that if Alex asks "Do you want me to stop the clock?" you've probably fucked it somewhere 😄

[@bazzatron9482]

Nah, task doesnt say anything about a passport, nor does it prevent me from just laying down poles and putting the luggage through the scanner labelled "security". If its not on the task, its not a rule, its just set dressing. In the words of Alex: "it's all on the task".

[@Ahlurglgr]

The passport wasn't a part of the rules, only the luggage

[@123bluecatky]

Lee should have been disqualified. When he went back to grab the boarding pass and passport, he didn't carry the pole with him and broke that rule

[@anthonyflindt3052]

Missed an opportunity at the start for "Taskmast-air"

[@Ghiaman1334]

Yeah, no, didn't watch this episode for context but that seems like a badly written task. The passport and water parts should not count, or should count and be on the task. 'All your belongings, legally, through security.' Or maybe extend the task and make it 'Get through passport check and security. You must be approved by Alex. All your bags must be allowed through security. [Insert rules here].'

[@CthulhuInc]

i enjoyed watching jamali in this season, especially his building anger towards alex - he's terrific!

[@Shmiguelly]

Ngl this is one of my least favourite tasks. It's more of a gotcha with the water thing than them being disqualified for something they were aware of.

[@xipheonj]

Only one was disqualified for water though, the other two failed rules they were explicitly told.

[@laluneodyssee4404]

Has way too many rules

[@val_de_maar]

​​​​@@xipheonjBending the rules has always been a part of Taskmaster which made it so entertaining. The task only said that you had to get the luggage through the xray machine. Alex just wouldnt turn on the xray if he didnt see the passport. If Jamali turned the machine on by himself, then fair play to him. He completed the task. Similar thing with Mike. Kind of like Taskmaster slowly losing its soul

[@xipheonj]

@@val_de_maar bending, yes, but not breaking. I agree that this task was pretty poor but Jamali forcing his bag through the machine was a child flipping a table because he was losing a game, not a clever exploit.

[@fairlyfactual451]

Probably the most poorly worded task in Taskmaster history. The task asked for the contestants to get their luggage through. It did not mention the need to follow other rules written elsewhere. As far as I am concerned ignoring the passport and water does not matter so long as the bags made it through the scanner.

[@Trockenshampooleopard]

*You* must stay inside the maze. Says nothing about the luggage. So: step over all the ropes, push the cart around the maze.

[@TakenTook]

It just occurred to me that tasks they've had in an airport setting were probably during the travel restriction portions of the pandemic. I always wondered how they had entire wings of an airport empty to do the filming, but seeing that they are all sitting far apart here, it now starts to make sense.

[@deity5592]

Everyone even forgot about the whole rule where you can't go outside the maze until you're luggage is through rule lmao What a mess

[@flash4680]

I don't think it was against the rules to just go around the entire thing to alex.

[@haroerhaktak2613]

Everybody is getting upset because not everything was on the task. But that's just part of the show. Sometimes it is, sometimes it's not. sometimes they can "cheat" and just get someone else to do the task, sometimes they can ignore the rules. It's not about following the rules, it's about having fun.

[@babalonkie]

"Get all YOUR luggage through security" 1) None of that luggage is actually theirs. 2) Zero mention of passports. I would of intentionally just adheared to the maze rules (it's on the card) and put whatever i had in my pocket through the machine. Thats it. TM is all about "what's on the card". Jemal should of debated Greg.

[@gildedbear5355]

"all the rules are on the task." I really wish that /anybody/ had used that as a defense. The passport and water "rules" were not on the task.

Mike getting DQed in this task is the single greatest travesty on TM. Worse than Joe Wilkinson’s potato.

[@djpunyer8762]

How did no one think to just go round the outside?

[@davidmcgill1000]

One of the very few rules was to go through the maze. Said nothing about the boarding pass or liquids though. A very poor task.

[@djpunyer8762]

@@davidmcgill1000 I agree it's not that good of a task, but Alex does occasionally explain extra rules before the task begins, which he did this time

[@MovieNut14]

Ironically, this is what going through airport security is like in real life.

[@lhfirex]

Probably a bad way to do this task, but I forget if I heard you have to reconnect the ropes if you hit a barrier. So.... disconnect a rope near Alex, hit the barrier intentionally, disconnect another rope near Alex until you have a short path, bring your luggage through the new short path, pick up the disconnected pole (in whatever order you need to fulfill the task's wording) and go through security! Knowing how slow I am I'd probably wind up with the worst time doing that, though, and that's assuming it still fits the rules. I absolutely love Jamali bullying Alex and his joke about him getting extra scrutiny at the security point. Part of what makes Taskmaster funny to me is when contestants find a way to make Alex's behavior look bad. I also laugh so much when Greg portrays him as a horrible sexist or other things in his talk in the studio.

[@floataway3]

I believe the task mentioned the maze resets, they likely just edited those bits out for time.

[@Xhadp]

Yeah didn’t like this task. I guess the concept the “boarding pass” would be separate from the task letter could’ve made for a great execution since the first thing someone would would scan the entire letter for a nice fake out. But alas it leads to nothing just like how the maze and sea of bags aren’t used to great effect in the task. So it ends up as a dud for me.

[@randyastle3301]

Plus what if it’s a domestic flight to Coventry or something-or nowhere? No passport needed! We Yanks fly without passports all the time.

[@MateusSFigueiredo]

-Disconnect rope -Hit pole with bag -Maze is reset -Rules are reset -Disconnect additional rope -Repeat

[@MorningDusk7734]

Pausing just after reading the task to give an answer and guesses. My first instinct is to open all the luggage just to see if there's anything hidden that would help/harm me, before packing up and stacking on the trolley as low as possible. My second instinct is that the task said nothing about moving posts without disconnecting them, so I would drop one rope, then shift all the posts as far to one side as possible to clear the way without disconnecting them, then bring through the luggage and ducking a second rope to get to the end, lifting the rope so the luggage doesn't touch. I would also remember that shoes and electronics go in a separate bin, and fluids cannot be greater than a few ounces.

[@johndenverfan]

😂😂😂😂😂

[@iliketrains3495]

Ah yes, one of the worst tasks of all time, making the rubbish robots look like the boilersuit/tying task. Series 11 was a massive improvement over series 10 but the extremely convoluted task format from that series did seep into this one, and it wasn't exactly fun to watch. Also, the DQ rulings were totally unfair; Charlotte deserved to be DQd for not restarting the maze, but DQing Jamali and Mike completely goes against the 'all the information is the task' philosophy as the task never said you had to show a passport or take the bottle out, nor did it mention obeying the signs. Catching out Mike was especially unfair and I'm glad they didn't keep doing the whole 'hidden trap that causes a DQ unless you spot it' thing after this (except the salt task in this series, which I did like). Furthermore, Lee should have been DQd because he didn't carry the pole with him when going back for the passport. Alex was also very inconsistent on informing them if they messed up; he told Lee and Sarah about the liquids and when they touched a pole, but not Mike or Charlotte. But hey, it's nice to see Picnic Girl doing somewhat well after her complete nightmare on Champion of Champions 3.

[@Waffles783]

I think at 10:05 Greg was setting someone up to object that the passport wasn't part of the rules, but nobody took the bait.

Poorly designed task imo.... Nothing about the passport was in the rules on the task. Nothing about the contents of the luggage was in the task rules.

If you want to pass luggage control you need the passport. Part of the task. I worked at an airport actually making mazes and stuff and people never get it , except autism types. Luggage should be put side by side not on top of each other sliding off. Real life based task. Not make a piano outta bananas stuff.
