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.

Judi slowly realising she could have used special effects for it has been one of the highlights of the series so far

[@sharkofjoy]

Judi's ability to control her face is incredible. Sometimes she'll break for a second, and that's when you realize that she's messing with everyone. She's so much more than I hoped she would be, and I had big expectations.

[@blackmoon9793]

Judi's task was a masterpiece. Every element was just perfection. Her whispering, "That's how they did it" as she patted down the sand. Her hieroglyph pose at the end. Greg's statue watching over the whole thing sagely as the sphinx. 👏👏👏

[@kaksspl]

"I've never thought it before" was a pretty nice low-key roast.

[@noitsabi5091]

The "pyramids" delivery gave me the same vibe as Tim Vine saying "tracksuit"

[@Fortunateson69]

That's a good one too-i felt strong "bastard's cryin'...innit?" Energy. Just utmost confidence.

[@Roman-hg6rg]

Hahaha! Definitely. Ah, so many classic moments.

The ardal line in this task "that was some fantastic prehistory" was one of the funniest lines in all of TM

[@amandab4102]

I thought for sure I would get sick of Judi's bs talking her way through everything but quite the opposite. I love it.

[@nointro]

I agree and it’s amazing to me that she’s now my favorite contestant. I’ve never laughed as much as when she’s in the hot seat!

[@johnnyace1300]

nah i think she brings the level of the show down, too many of them especially the comedians so obviously play down their intelligence for the bit which turns out not that funny but for judi love its clear this is the best she can do and i find it just sad to watch

Sophie suggesting that Alex be Janet Jackson and she be Justin Timberlake did not get nearly enough laughs.

[@neithere]

What was the joke about and who are these people?

[@floptune8515]

I think the reference went over a lot of peoples heads

[@joshandallo2170]

@@neithere It was a really big pop culture in 2004, so I'm curious as to how you've never heard of it: At the Super Bowl XXXVIII halftime show (not the VMAs as Sophie suggested), Janet Jackson (of the famous Jackson family, perhaps one of the biggest female pop stars of all time) performed with Justin Timberlake (famously from the boyband NSync, also famous for his solo career), and he inadvertently exposed her nipple for mere milliseconds to an audience of hundreds of millions. It caused a huge backlash and moral panic, and effectively (and unfairly) derailed Janet Jackson's musical career.

[@aps-pictures9335]

Maybe because sexual assault isn’t funny? ._.

[@neithere]

@@joshandallo2170 thank you for the explanation! I know that superbowl is a sports event in the US (I've recently watched WWDITS and there was a joke about "superb owl") but I don't live in that country and don't listen to pop music, so it was easy to miss. P.S.: BTW, what's wrong with seeing a nipple? Doesn't every human have a pair?

[@sharkofjoy]

4:13 Sophie is trying SO HARD to go on this journey with her

[@Roman-hg6rg]

One of the most entertaining contestants. She's just so good at dramatic re-telling (making up shite) in the studio to support a task attempt, it's sensational! Judi is sensational. So many outstanding moments.

[@robinnes2662]

I love how utterly baffled Bridget and Alex are of each other.

[@ladyflimflam]

Is it bafflement? I thought I read someplace Bridget’s best friend is Mrs. Little Alex Horne.

[@isabellaangeline2175]

Alex: You Look Nice Bridget: You’ve never said that before, thank you. Alex: I’ve never thought it before. Ouch! Alex is so sassy with Bridget and I like it. Also, I now have a strong urge, as an adult, to play with a ton of sand. It actually looks quite fun and enjoyable. Damn, I love Judi Love. Funny as fuck.

[@divedrop]

This might have been one of the best taskmaster episodes, ever

[@secretforreddit]

This season is seriously shaping up to be a contender for best season, IMO. I love Series 7, 9, and 12, too, but honestly the chemistry between these five is off the charts and absolutely hilarious.

[@irishpieceoftrash]

Not even Judi's status as 'Queen of Bullsh*tting' could convince anyone this was good.

[@giannastewart750]

[@rateeightx]

3:55 I'd just like to point out that due to recent(ish) evidence, It's now generally agreed the pyramids were built by paid labourers, Who were treated quite well in fact, Rather than slaves. (And also that they were actually built about a thousand years before Nefertiti was born.)

[@RickReasonnz]

The second point was why I was screaming at the screen when I saw the ep. Nefertiti was a relatively modern ruler by comparison!

[@thebusiness8212]

And the evidence historians have found of the builders during the reign of Ramses III who went on strike because they weren’t getting paid what they wanted.

[@Safinitzine]

I wish she'd said "Queens of Fufu" again Edit: Apparently, it's Ze'Fufu. My bad ^^'

[@YoJesusMorales]

"Here we go". I have really been enjoying this season, great job overall from everyone. Bridget did wonderful with the VO with Laika the dog, it was great. Btw where is the podcast? though it's going live on the feed is not being uploaded here.

[@sharkofjoy]

seriously! With the loss of the new episodes on YT, where else can randos on the internet gossip about how funny the last ep was?

[@degiguess]

Would've been great for one of them to walk out of the room then walk right back in the same way they did at the beginning and read the task again, thus reenacting the moment in history when they first saw the traffic cones and read the task. Wouldn't have been emotional, but it would've been accurate

[@cecil6075]

now we know how the pyramids got built.

[@CB-lh4ph]

The pyramids weren't built by slaves; it was actually seen as an honour to get to take part in building them, so the people that worked on them were very well respected.

[@rajabuta]

Blame hollywood

[@zaravx]

Yea!! It peeved me when they said it haha

[@heidicross7255]

How do you know this for a fact? None of us were there to actually know what happened and why. It is all human interpretation (guess work) of pictures.

[@rajabuta]

@@heidicross7255 there are records of administration, payment made to workers. And signs of facilities for residence during the construction project. You coulda googled all this. it's not just "pictures"

[@heidicross7255]

@@rajabuta We are talking about 4500 years ago. Before paper and written language. It has been stated that "how pyramids were actually constructed is shrouded in mystery" but bit by bit, archaeologists are "guessing" the history. Google only knows as much as modern humans have recorded.

Judi Love’s attempt was hilarious, and she’s a riot as a contestant. But the ignorance of Egyptian history specifically and African history in general is really sad. The pyramids were not built by slaves, and African countries have a great and proud history in the centuries before slavery and the ones after.

[@rachelcookie321]

Were the pyramids not built by slaves? But just like Arab slaves. That’s what I was taught at school.

[@Kontostephanos16]

@@rachelcookie321 I think in the past there the dominant story was tyrannical pharaohs placating slaves with beer. Recently we've learned more about the fairly comfortable lives of artisans and even the heavy construction can be seen more as a great communal spiritual celebration (with alcohol!)

@@rachelcookie321 not until almost the end of the egipcian culture. They were built by workers that got paid for it (a really hard job, but a job at the end).

[@NadiaEldemerdash]

@@rachelcookie321 @hilariocity Not only is that not true, but there were not even Arabs at the time in the way we would understand the term today, as in there was not yet the Arabic language. Arabic was first recorded over 2000 years after the pyramids were built. The pyramids were built by paid local workers, and there are preserved records not only of their wages but even sicknesses and injuries on site, as well as excavations of camps where the workers lived near the pyramids during construction.

This is one of the scenes that leaves me baffled as to why Ardal said on the podcast that Greg was afraid of Judi. I don't get that vibe at all. And I don't think Ardal was really joking either, but who knows? There definitely was something more that went on between them in the studio after the Stag task. You can tell there's an edit between when Greg says, "You did not." in response to Judy saying they had 'stuck to the tradition' and Alex saying, "Okay, they've said their pieces." Maybe we'll get a fun outtake video! 🤞

[@matthewlloyd3654]

The historian in me cannot help but point out that the pyramids weren't built by enslaved people, but by specialist craftspeople and conscripted workers, all of whom were paid for their work. So we can celebrate the construction of the pyramids without glamorising slavery. On the other hand, Nefertiti postdates the pyramids by several centuries...
