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.

Alice has a perfect slow drop; pops more balloons to ruin the slow drop.

[@winey2139]

Yes, but wasn't it dramatic, all those balloons popping?

[@mikepictor]

but to add to the drama. Nothing so undramatic as a spoon slowly descending in silence....chunk some darts at it!

[@illusion-xiii]

I was thinking the exact same thing when she was doing it, "Stop shooting, you'll make it fall faster!" However, in the end Alex didn't even say how long each one took to fall, and they ended up being judged a lot more on presentation, so it worked out for her in the end.

[@kisbie]

More perfect than Asim though, who accidentally picked his spoon and balloons from off the floor and had to let them drop all the way back down again. 😂

[@zhaltys]

I was just hoping that someone would decide to just leave baloons by the ceiling so that after a few days when helium goes out it would land super super slow.

[@MachineBone]

“We met at meal times”. -Tim vine. One of the great quotes on the show

[@richardblakely6854]

Once Alice switches to darts, that's some pretty impressively consistent balloon-popping!

[@myguyry]

"what have you done?"

[@simontay4851]

Made a rubbish parachute.

[@GnomaPhobic]

Thanks to Tim Vine I've found myself involuntarily saying "Flippers" and "Bums on Seats" when I get frustrated around the house. My nieces and nephews find it very amusing.

[@AyaBlue22]

I misheard it as, "Bums on Saints" and was amused but confused.

[@billyeveryteen7328]

Liza made that parachute absolutely perfectly. I grew up with "parachute men" toys, and despite knowing the fundamentals of how they were assembled, if I had to do it, my parachute still would have ended up like Tim and Russell's.

[@hawsrulebegin7768]

These weren’t toys to you were they? They were real, They were brothers in arms, true friends regardless of size.

[@weatherwitchandfelinefamiliars]

Lisa's parachute was absolutely perfect and her set up was wonderful too 😊

[@kisbie]

One of those tasks that sums up its series in microcosm. Liza just waltzing in at the end and destroying all the other attempts.

[@Statsy10]

The exact words that went through my mind: "That's a goddamn parachute!" 😂

[@lhfirex]

Series 6 and 7 back to back is the best run of Taskmaster so far.

[@stevenlowdon7786]

Yeah, but then series 8…..

[@fuchila2point0]

Lasso Alex! The only person in the world who would think, "I need to add more spoons!"

[@kevinsonghurst8428]

Taskmaster is the best series since only fools and horses.

[@brinsonopinion]

I haven't seen this one before, loved it - thank you Taskmaster!!!

[@jenniferp7497]

How do I not even remember this task???

[@andreaskarlsson5251]

Loved this task ❤ so much fun!

[@stevenlowdon7786]

“We met at meal times”

[@SoSo-li6dn]

now thats a parachute

[@devingibson4463]

THIS is why Liza won Taskmaster

[@katieblade7083]

Little Alex Horne, i voted, good luck chaps. I love this ish

[@LauraEilers]

Why pop the balloons? Slowest drop would be walk away and wait a few weeks

[@zhaltys]

My thoughts exactly.

[@nullFoo]

Slowest *and* most dramatic

[@Matthew-bu7fg]

I feel like there were levels to this. Asim and Russell getting 1 and 2 points is fair. Tim probably deserved 5 points. Alice deserved 10 points and Liza deserved 20 points.

[@alexread6767]

They should've added another spoon.

[@phonotical]

Firwmeworks in a wooden buildings with loose flammable plastic about at random, how could it not fail!

[@callum9999]

I don't think plastic is quite as flammable as you're imagining?

[@phonotical]

@@callum9999 open out a bin bag and try and light it, and then tell me 😂

[@callum9999]

@@phonotical I didn't say it's not flammable, I said it's not as flammable as you're imagining. I've seen bin bags exposed to fire numerous times - every single time it just melted. I've yet to see a raging inferno start...

[@phonotical]

@@callum9999 the building is totally lined with wood, just run with the fucking joke

[@blackdragoncyrus]

David Baddiel would be so proud.

[@simontay4851]

He would be so bad at this task.

[@slake9727]

​@simontay4851 Why stop now?

[@Bellocks1]

7:41 Alex: “Bom-bom-bom…” Russell: “Not that mate, for fuck’s sake”

[@johncameron4194]

Lisa and Alice

[@FryingMike]

I like lisa did a graba bag parshut I would do that

[@barobaro1]

wow

[@hundovir]

Is a balloon (or lots of them) a parachute?

[@47Jaspers]

If it functions as a parachute, it's a parachute

[@thamiris.]

this is the kind of thing that the season 15 cast would argue😭

[@anikethiremath3132]

Hi Taskmaster & glorious Alex Horne.

[@ratheruseful]

Lee common scout hut what?

[@josemaria8177]

My favourite Asum task

[@johncameron4194]

🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣

[@daniellamcgee4251]

Asim's fit the brief more than Russell's, though. 🤔

[@Matthew-bu7fg]

when the wooden spoon fell for the second time, it had no parachute and plummeted like a rock lol

[@njebarr]

Such a good task, such a shame it was wasted on this series.

[@ryanpearo9138]

You would have lost a subscriber had you not given Lisa 5 points.

[@DreamteamsLeader]

Um. Since when are helium balloons parachutes? Haha, should have gotten 0 points for failing the task altogether

[@zhaltys]

Whatever. You can add your rules when you runthe show buddy :))

[@RyuMai]

russel is one of the worst contestants they ever had on the show

[@emer157]

Alice and russell are so dull and unfunny
