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.

“Bag must hang unassisted” so like, we just gonna ignore the fact the bag was assisted by the bucket handle?

[@nvckels140]

By that logic, The gaffa tape assisted Tim Vines bag as well

[@ObjectsInMotion]

Inanimate objects cannot assist anything. Only people assist.

[@bloodelfreku]

@@nvckels140 the only difference is that one actually mattered and got her into first place. It’s a comedy show, so it’s not really that serious. But the buckets handle will support 100% of the weight put inside it until that bucket or handle breaks. The bag isn’t supporting anything in the bucket, it is only surrounding the bucket. This isn’t a “by that logic” argument. It is just general fact stated. But I mean, if you wanna DQ the guy in last place too, that’s fine.

[@bloodelfreku]

@@ObjectsInMotion actually, that isn’t technically correct. A rope assists you in climbing a mountain. A straw assists you in drinking water. You get in a car and it assists you in moving from point A to point B. Turning assistance is even a term used for cars. And hell, an AI robot which is technically lifeless can assist you.

[@Schmidtelpunkt]

@@bloodelfreku It is against the rules that Vine got a point, it is against the rules that the bucket hangs on its handle. Greg is an absolutist ruler. Bending the rules is always hit or miss when it comes to his decisions, but by letting some get through, there is at least a reason to do something unconventional. And let's face it - everybody doing the tasks the correct way and one just being best is just boring.

I still think about how if not for Tim's absurdly bad luck, he probably would have won this task. And that would have been a five point swing (+4 for him, -1 for Liza). Considering he lost to Liza by 6 points in the overall series, it really could have made a huge difference.

[@rewrose2838]

Yeah well, luck is a fickle lady

[@twomz]

Nah, I think he put too much in his bag and it would have ripped anyway. Just putting tape on the handles doesn't make the rest of the bag more sturdy.

[@godhateseveryonewhodoesntr5977]

But he ripped the bag though. Hanging it on a thin piece of metal would've even ripped it faster. I think filling the bag with water was a genius idea to be honest. The other girl could've probably filled it a little more. The other bag was leaking because the woman put other objects in it with sharper edges which created weak points. Only water wouldn't create weak points.

[@cyprel]

@@twomz Well, if he hadn't spent so much time looking for the hook, he could have taken a bit more time to make sure the bag was hanging on properly. But @feasible in the end it's all just guesswork. There's loads of tasks where, if just one thing had gone a little bit differently, the point would have changed ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ And especially if the points are really close, almost every task could 'have made a huge difference'.

[@samwiseshanti]

I can easily imagine it would have broken anyway, but I expect if he had 10 minutes extra (that he would have had if he hasn't been looking for the hook), he would have realised it was going to break and that's more than enough time to basically gaffa tape the whole bag up.

Twist bag into 'rope' 2 feet long. Tie ends together into a loop. Hang your loop over hook to satisfy requirements.

[@oscaralexa]

1. Get rid of the height, so lower the bag almost all the way to the ground, that's why they used pallets. 2. Fold the bag as many times as possible, braid it or twist it and increase the bags tensile strength. 3. Use sand or gravel to fill the bag progressively and fill it to it's full extended volume. Maybe one of this ideas work, or perhaps a combination of all.

[@LiterallyRain]

Wouldn't be the plastic weight gaining weight, would be the stuff on/in the plastic bag adding weight. They interpreted the task as "Make the weight display the highest possible weight without using anything other than the plastic bag to hold objects and without using anything else to reduce the load on the bag," which is not the task. The task is to make the PLASTIC BAG heavier, which you can only do by changing the gravitational factor. Speed also affects weight, so you could increase the weight of the bag by having it fall downwards. You can imagine it as a rock having a greater weight (momentarily) when you drop it on top of a weight from a height, than if you just lay the rock on the weight in a stable position.

[@bmomosaik]

so your on the right path but dont fill the bag just laydown on the ground and hold the bag from both ends after you have braided it and folded it. the bag should have no problem holding upwards of 150 pounds

[@LucasBenderChannel]

Both the water and the idea of reinforcing the bag are genius!

[@pyromaniac000000]

I think the best play would be get the hose. Water is surprisingly heavy, and would have perfectly even weight distribution. Maybe even dissolve a whole bunch of salt into it, dump the salt in while the hose runs. Would be undoubtedly the winner.

[@tuseroni6085]

none of them noticed that at no point in the rules did it state you needed to put anything IN the bag, only that it had to hang unassisted. my solution: roll up the bag length-wise, tie it into a loop, place the tied section on the S-hook, hold onto the loop and hang off it. good luck beating that.

[@MikaeruDaiTenshi]

Interesting thesis. Yea, the bag had to be heavy. Naturally, you'd put things into the bag to make it heavy. Now, if we'd twist the bag into a rope, and let for example, the bucket hand from it, we'd have a stury object to be filled with heavier things. Now the question is, would this be considered the bag being heavy, or not.

[@Grayson.P]

Wrap the bag around itself a lot and turn it into a cord. And either hang from it, or use it as a handle for a sturdier bag.

That's one reading, but it makes the task itself essentially impossible. In the context of the task, I think "bag" has to be read as "bag and its contents", or else you just get people piling-on layers of tape (and even that would still be questionable). Still, fair point; the wording is ambiguous.

I think I would’ve rolled the bag into a tube, run it through the opening at the bottom of the scale, and then tied the ends together to make it a ring like structure.

The one with the bucket was almost a genius. Put the bucket in the bag with the handle also on the hook. Fill up the bucket completely. THEN add water to the bag. The bucket handle is highly unlikely to break even if the bucket is full of water.... and ALL of the water would technically still be in the bucket!

The guy put a soccer ball into the bag, a soccer ball!

What sort of monster-ass octopi has Alex been hangin' around?

[@2blkSSs]

Hahaha I was going to make a joke about where do I find a 54kg octopus... then I found out that’s about the average size. Thanks TM. I learned something today. Had no idea

[@SidSLI]

Huh? Only the giant octopus weighs as much - and you're not likely to encounter that monster. Regular species are not even 10Kg heavy.

[@danielb3573]

This may just be my ADHD, but isn’t the bag already as heavy as it can get?

[@SwordQuake2]

Tim Vine sounds like Boris Johnson sometimes.

[@ZM1306]

Read the title, figured I would just put my foot in the bag and stand. Started the vid and saw the hanging scale....

[@ianitor]

Tim Vine might be the only contestant that wouldn't get mad at Alex for not telling him 😂

[@Tmonahan2424]

Hang the bag as close to the ground as possible, thereby increasing the effect of gravity and making the BAG itself as heavy as possible.

[@chewar7537]

Hahahahahaha, the hook.

I was also thinking water from the hose into the bag. No punctures in the bag to worry about either! :)
