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 know it's all subjective and Greg is fickle, but Ivo not getting full points for his mummy still makes me sad.

[@genericname2747]

He was robbed!

[@Shuro2005]

I was so mad back then, it deserved all the points. 😂

[@Tao_Tology]

Came to the comments to say exactly this. He was 1000% the winner of that task and Alex was UTTerly fooled. (Yes, I am still mightily aggrieved. )

[@TonyTheYouTuba]

Yeah you freeze frame around 17:24 on Alex’s face at the right time, and you see not only is that 5 points but you also make two other people only get 3 points to make sure there’s a gap. Outrageous! 😂

[@bootieos7701]

Maybe if he pressed on by saying "Pleeeeeaaaase!"

[@leggomyeggo9]

Ivo and Frankie are honestly one of the most iconic teams of two to ever do it. Their dynamic was too good 😭

[@jijitters]

Truly! Ivo and Frankie are interesting on their own but being placed on a team and sat next to each other in the studio led to such magnificent things.

[@FlorentPlacide]

I was thinking the same thing from the first extract. Frankie's giggling during Ivo's ordeals was so funny. He may seem gruff but the dude radiates love, and he was so gracious about his mistake during the cuffed task.

[@framebadger]

Ivo was perfect for Taskmaster, particularly when paired with Frankie. The fact that those two came last in that series shows that scoring points and being entertaining are not necessarily the same thing.

[@iliketrains3495]

To be fair to Frankie, he actually did pretty well, but he and Ivo were permanently held back by that one live task that gave 10 points to the other team. Frankie did catch up and was ahead of previous series leader Jenny until the very last task.

[@jijitters]

I've even noticed in the past several seasons people have complained more about the winners often being "boring" to them because just doing the tasks well is often not nearly as entertaining as the ones failing in fantastic ways. This didn't happen as much with early seasons, but I don't know if that's because the audience has grown to appreciate the "fun failures" more, or if the show has adapted to allow them to shine more. Perhaps a mix of both.

[@iliketrains3495]

@@jijitters Fans had come to love the losers since Joe Wilkinson in series 2, so it's more likely the opposite and that they're bored by the people who complete the tasks the most simple and efficient way and end up winning. For a while, the only 'simplistic' winner was Josh Widdicombe (and even then he got a tattoo of Greg's name), then Kerry came along with the whole 'Bosh' philosophy and since then the winner has been the most simple and predictable contestant, the only exceptions I can think of are Lou, Ed, Morgana and Sam.

[@Robyamdam]

did you need anymore proof than the last 12 series?

[@bonesita88]

Frankie's maniacal giggle while Ivo is stamping on bottles was the most beautiful sound my ears have ever heard. Lol

[@princessthyemis]

Same!!!

[@42grath]

I still can't get over Mae thinking Pangea was only about 900 years ago

[@Harvey1211]

It speaks to the level of quotability of Ivo Graham that he generated the most episode titles in the series. I’m waiting for the opportunity to use the quote “Please stop using me as a yardstick for failure”.

[@Methequeen]

I think he’s made it part of his tour name or his upcoming book! I can’t remember which

[@iliketrains3495]

And pretty much every episode title was very reflective of his time on the show. Even "I Love To Squander Promise", an episode he won

[@Harvey1211]

@@iliketrains3495 I imagine that if Kiell didn’t ask the incredible of ‘How Heavy Is The Water’, Episode 4 could’ve easily been called ‘I’ll sit in the shed…’ Ivo is one of those examples of a naturally intelligent contestant that just isn’t well suited to Taskmaster. I imagine he’s got a wide breadth of knowledge and facts in his head but is not the sort of person who can repurpose an umbrella or bounce a ball off of the most drum skins in a single go.

[@KitagumaIgen]

@@Harvey1211 He was utterly brilliantly suited for Taskmaster! Maybe not so much in the competitive sense - but for laughs! It was mostly the time-limit that tilted him...

[@Harvey1211]

@@KitagumaIgen he strikes me as just a genuinely nice person. The way he was laughing during the studio banter, you could tell he was having a great time. The quick wit during debates and arguments was amazing. One of my favourite moments that wasn’t in this video was when they had to walk like one of their fellow contestants in the studio tasks, and Greg had to guess who they were given. He did the ‘Jenny Eclair walk’ even though he was given ‘Frankie Boyle’ because he’d already lost the episode and just wanted to have a go at it.

[@iliketrains3495]

Shame the accents/impressions live task didn't make it on here, Ivo throwing away his points to do the Jenny walk was one of the best moments of this series

[@Methequeen]

How is that not here ???

[@thomeiser8933]

Oh neat, several weeks worth of anxiety and stress concentrated into a 23 minute video You could weaponize this thing

[@ddeliriumtremens]

Haha, nice!

[@Hexen_Wulf]

It's rather like he's Frankie's disappointing son and his mother has given Frankie an ultimatum: Spend some time with the lad, or you're out.

[@StaceWah]

"Can you get money back from Eton?" is such an epic burn 🔥 😂

[@melissa.deklerk]

I came here to say that. Best burn probably in the whole TM canon.

[@adamplace1414]

I remember thinking during this season that a compilation of Ivo"s best studio quips alone would be great. The man was made for Taskmaster comedy, if not Taskmaster success.

[@jewishunicorn7489]

"Not for me and my dad"

[@ChiYau-24]

When he threw points away to do a Jenny Eclair walk - that was so funny

[@jennierayner2152]

"I've already lost, I just wanted to have a go at it" lmao bless

[@lhfirex]

Frankie and Ivo are the best chaos team I can think of in Taskmaster. Not the amazing camaraderie of The Sues in series 16 but so entertaining for the contrast of their personalities

[@Silverity]

The collecting spoons task had me in tears.

[@redumptious2544]

The "fake something" task is still one of the most glorious things ever!! I love it so much.

[@MelShimmmmyy]

I was his duty manager for his gig in Liverpool this year and he's an absolute sweetheart! So lovely and humble in person, plus his set was hysterical :) Nice to see someone who deserves it get success

[@blackdragoncyrus]

Ivo is afflicted with the curse of politeness, bless him. He should have gotten five points for his mummy stunt, damn it. I think Frankie was just scored based on the comedy aspect of it, and not fulfilling the criteria of the task.

[@Taolan8472]

Ivo's fake is easily in the top 5 most intelligent task attempts.

[@ilikeexxs]

During the pick your year task, mae really said "ivo went to high school, I went to school high" 😂

[@bendystrawz2832]

That mummy task was perfect! I love to see Alex and Greg's faces light up like that!

[@phonotical]

The Freudian middle finger to the glasses when Greg realises he can't think of an immediate response 😂

[@emercycrite]

The respectfulness and tact with which Ivo expressed his disagreement with Frankie in the lock task points to a solid upbringing and impeccable manners. Compared to, say, Iain Stirling's run on TM. Massive respect and props to Ivo.

[@thegaminghermitage5045]

Ivo getting stuck in a conversation with John is one of the greatest moments in the show, closely followed by Ivo sitting in desolation... in the wrong location.

[@nachotg132]

Ivo mummy task moment is such and iconic part of this series....that and the live task where they had to answer the question about sausages and the answers where in the back

[@danielharmon15]

possibly my favorite taskmaster contestant!

[@sfshinz]

Drinking game: down a shot every time Ivo grabs his “heid like a Chimpanzee whose habitat is under threat.”

[@LunaBeth97]

17:02 The lil woooo is still my favourite thing 😂

[@princessthyemis]

Yesss😂

[@KaiOpaka]

Never not going to be cry-laughing over Frankie's chimpanzee quote.

[@JLF201]

That bingo task was painful to watch. Poor boy.

[@kierinnmobley8192]

Love Ivo! What a sweetheart

[@arianaajbeaverhausen8175]

Going to have a 👀 to find out if Ivo has a podcast or something. I could listen to him speak all day, great contestant too. If anyone knows where I can find more of him please let me know. ❤

[@StrongBalloonChris]

Loved my History teachers but learned so much from Ivo's lecture 😂

[@glenjamindle]

Turns out this was just another 'Best of Frankie' episode 😂

[@Zutia]

Ivo, Mae, and Jenny remain amongst my favourite contestants. I don't recall being as hooked by individuals as I was by these three!

[@sillystringeater]

The whole Ivo and Frankie spoon task is, i think, my favourite of all s15

[@Methequeen]

Whenever I can’t find my cat, I yell “where’s my chunkz?”

[@klaraleblochova]

Mae saying "I think this is all about confidence" and then immediately cut to Ivo falling apart, crushing garlic with a rolling pin is a *masterpiece* 21:22

[@MrTraingle]

I think I love him

[@vgdkhs]

That season was one of my favorite, everybody was great and the tasks were really fun

[@EnglerEdits]

Gotta love Ivo 😂

[@wallums968]

Ivo Graham im free on Saturday Ivo Graham I am single and free on Saturday

[@jackwang9536]

Ivo's best win was the "pulper" task. I hope we get to see that task highlighted in its own video.

[@mapletreegames9053]

Ivo definitely has a spot in my top 3 contestants of all time

[@Crowquet]

Ivo kinda sounds like Jonathan Sims in a wierd British way and it's been bugging me ever since this series came out

[@nemnyoom]

that's having similar accents and the occasional sarcastic drone

[@bengleiss9416]

Ivo is such a beautiful soul

[@sourabhkatti]

"Are you blind, Ivo?"

[@jongarrad5647]

I heard that in the voice. I will now be *doing* the voice until lunchtime. Darn it.

[@heathercilliers9808]

I want to see a winner of the losers special. The losers were always the best ones to watch and laugh with.

[@mushmello526]

It's still a jackpot that the show works so well with Alex and Greg. If anyone else would have had the idea for Taskmaster, it might have failed as a concept

[@StaceWah]

An episode title should've been "Life: hard. Death: frequent. Tension: constant." .... what a thought bubble 😂😂

[@CregggFerguson]

oh no, im inbred

[@Sam-zb5fv]

Anyone got any idea whats making those psychedelic kind of projections on the wall in the house? Is it a lamp you can buy?

[@135kronos]

Life hard, death frequent, tension constant needs to be put on a shirt stat!

[@simplyhard]

9:10 8% of this country (England), and all of Finland play bingo. Unbelievable, can anyone from Finland confirm this?

[@tbz1551]

7:38 Kind of sums up his experience on TM lol

[@timboz82]

Ivo makes my heart go woo

[@rajmay]

Ivo is wonderful, one of my favorite contestants! The Frankie and Ivo duo was just perfect

[@phonotical]

1642,conquest of paradise wasn't it?

[@bhseigel]

Tension: Constant

[@cannibalbananas]

1) I love these best of contestant videos 2) Poor Ivo. Soo smart, but ends up kowtowing to Frankie's madness 😂😂

[@misstiger6126]

My favourite contestant!

[@nattdal88]

i didn't really watch this season but ivo and frankie are fucking hysterical

[@MitchCyan]

I saw him a few days ago, he was great.

[@sysjkb]

Missed the S15e07's pulper wheel task, Ivo's shining moment where he figured out how to think taskmasterly.

[@johndenverfan]

Brilliant Series Greg and Alex Are Brilliant

[@Aphelion969]

Holy fucking shit

[@justinparker7712]

Ivo and Kyelle got robbed so many times this season

[@dp-g5i]

Where is the Jenny Eclair walk?

[@koey0904]

Every moment Ivo’s on is a great mtm.

[@pavanabeysinghe]

Second...

[@vinzcalaguas9683]

5th

[@Zurrech]

That Bingo Task. The Bingo Bin didnt go through the main gate. It got tossed over

[@punxsydawn]

Ivo and kiell saved that season

[@ddeliriumtremens]

GOD BLESS YOU ALL

[@Swisswavey]

Strange that in a "best of Ivo" video the funniest people are Mae and Frankie

[@CaesarTjalbo]

The poorest season so far but Ivo had some good moments

[@adastida]

I would say Dara's season, although with a slew of comedians I love, was a touch worse. Frankie and Ivo have genuinely amazing moments individually and as a team

[@iliketrains3495]

@@adastida I have liked series 14 more on rewatches, but I do think it's a bit overrated.

[@CaesarTjalbo]

@@adastida series 14 started off immediately good, had great studio banter from all contestants and had 5 funny contestants. Series 15 was very slow to warm up, most of the studio banter came from Frankie and Mae Martin wasn't funny at all.

[@HikuroMishiro]

I really don't get the point of these. Kiell talking about his tasks was good, but these are just compilations alone and a good bit of it is focused on the other contestants.

[@themonado5030]

He had no best moments.

[@JLF201]

He did, but these weren't them. His pulper thing was great.

[@lucy5277]

mae misunderstanding “there were a lot of ducks around the house” to mean alive ducks were present in the tm house neighbourhood is so funny
