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.

"What's your favourite yoghurt? How do you feel about death?" This quote magnificently sums up my social skills.

[@BlueBerry-tc6tz]

Strawberry banana, I accept it with open arms

[@hammerross]

Fred the Swede is an international treasure

[@CS-pi5oc]

I just know he’s a nice man and would have much to say that would hold attention.

[@goliath_red1102]

I love how everyone was having a good chat with Fred yet Joe was setting up a first date 😂

[@chrisoconnor9521]

Can we all take a minute to appreciate the fact that they listened to the public and brought back the legend that is Fred the Swede? ❤

[@Chaos_Senpai]

Apart from this being an old episode

[@FrumiousBandersnatch42]

He's so cute, I love him

[@HOTD108_]

This episode is like 5 years old dude.

[@NeungView]

Please explain why he is a legend. I don't get it.

[@psychedelikchameleon]

I love him too! I want to see more of him 💚💚💚

[@Tao_Tology]

The wetsuit-eyecontact task has the same workaround as the 'penalty if you make too much noise' task: if there is a penalty _each time_ you break eye contact then look away once, do all the dressing up business and look back. Bish bash bosh. 1 penalty.

[@FulcanMal]

Well the task was worded "Maintaining constant eye contact", so really I think the docking of points was itself a leniency because they all did it at some point. But if someone had completely looked away that would have been a clear violation.

[@Tao_Tology]

The penalty was for each time they looked away, either just a glance or fully looking at the kit. One biiig lookaway = 1 penalty, my proposal is perfect and I will be taking no further questions.

[@bootieos7701]

​@@Tao_TologyGreg: Oh, you're gonna go with that are you?

[@fargotua13]

Respect. U have to be killing at playground.

[@FulcanMal]

@@Tao_Tology Dude do you even watch this show? The wording of the task is always important.

[@blackdragoncyrus]

I find it amusing that both Katherine and Bridget thought to call a relative to talk to Fred for them.

[@FrumiousBandersnatch42]

A painter decorator! Going in the way of his father, I see. Also, Joe is right - Fred is adorable and handsome and we all love him, he should be a part of more tasks!

[@arianaajbeaverhausen8175]

That "croupier, idiot" bit has me in tears every time! "I've really got to change my lifestyle" 😂❤😂

[@Aiko2-26-9]

I love Fred. I'm so glad they figured out a way to bring him back to the show even though he's left England.

[@lawrencecalablaster568]

Katherine is lucky Fred was so friendly; not only did she present him with a Dane & say that Swedish & Danish were “basically the same”, but she neglected the mighty lingonberry.

[@silverstreaker9727]

Fred is adorable! Hope to see a lot more of him in future seasons

[@fargotua13]

Using Swedish Person for entertainment... Well, I don't blame them. Fred is such a good sport.

[@emercycrite]

Fred the Swede is SO HANDSOME!! How do we not have his socials already?!

[@Lasse65]

If you want to small talk with a Swede, talk about the weather, it always works with a Swede (said by a Swede).

[@krissdev]

Fred the Swede!

[@phayroent9742]

Has Fred been on the Sweden edition of TM? Because he definitely deserves to be.

[@Saturinus]

No, we have an Icelander instead. 😄

[@jennamurphy9614]

The Swede needs to be in my television so i can see him more.

[@haleyw5677]

for a swedish person, the small talk and eye contact with a stranger is probably just as hard as it is for the contestants

[@fargotua13]

He got to be that only guy in village who's, while wearing snorkeling equipment, thinks about drowning and dying in yoghurt.

[@xseros7954]

No way that man is Swedish. No swede could keep constant eye contact for that long.

[@pinkcowqueen]

"What's your favourite yogurt? HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT DEATH?" Me, a-spec and autistic: Ah, so this is what flirting is?

[@Taolan8472]

I mean, if thats the way the conversation goes, thats the way it goes.

[@bugbear2357]

as an allo autistic, I think I've had pretty much that conversation while attempting to flirt. luckily for me the person I was attempting to flirt with was adhd so it went pretty well

[@fat_old_sun]

I wish that’s how flirting customarily went, it is so much more informative and helpful.

[@eriktheos6022]

Fred my beloved

[@elisem6319]

I miss Fred the Swede. He is iconic.

[@Sol-mr1lv]

I'm pretty sure stating that swedish and danish is the same thing constitutes a hatecrime in Scandinavia

[@KeeleyMoriarty]

When Mel walks in 😂

[@davidjones6470]

Mel was bloody brilliant,

[@jamessmithson-br7rm]

Taskmaster!

[@StarlahMutiny]

Lingnon? Lingnon. Yes. Lignon? Lol

[@erikaleic2693]

Joe didn't get his number🥀

[@Cobralalalala]

This just makes me miss Fred more.

[@anderssvendsen6682]

Please make the full vid episode vids available again, loved that shit. Now i am rather annoyed, and looking for solutions ya know what i mean.. Best wishes from Denmark

[@davidjones6470]

CLASSIC 😂😂

[@blaQI_roch]

Are not lingonberries a thing in Britland?

[@Lizzo13]

There have been lots of Fred videos posted recently. I wonder why...

[@SullySadface]

3:56 are these questions related

[@iliketrains3495]

Charlotte Ritchie would have dominated this task. As we all know, she genuinely can get d-dressed... quick.

[@M077Y]

Why does Joe stand over him so much?! :.D

[@Taolan8472]

It never occurred to me before but for the wetsuit task, "you cannot move the laptop from its present position" but doesnt say you can't change its orientation. Can't turn it to face the suitcase.

[@ForumcoldiArchon]

Changing the orientation would require to move it though.. Either you hold it and turn it - therefore moving it upwards.. or you push it from one anckle, but therefore moving it a few cm until it turned completely.. the endposition would be differently aswell and therefore moved.

[@adammitchell115]

Just move the table, laptop stays the same.

[@redelfshotthefood8213]

My 4th seeing the Swedish interrogation. 🇨🇦 I wonder. Does Fred speak any French or Spanish? Because we don’t need to speak english.

[@Mendogology]

Swedish is like Danish, but Danish is not like Swedish

[@rgbok5453]

Im surprised everyone but one didnt use a translator. I guess they just assumed they couldn't

[@tesseract5569]

No

[@sebastiansprigge3877]

Fair enough

[@Tao_Tology]

Da

[@mannamedisaak3316]

I like Fred 😂 he is wait to patient
