NEW: Alex Horne Tricks Comedians With Some SECRET TASKS | Taskmaster Series 17 Episode 8 | Channel 4

[@FutureDeep]

When she kept saying umbrella past 5 times I wondered if I got the number wrong and that she had to say it 10 times. But then she kept going.

[@kiddbuu5178]

It was the part where it said your team must hear you say it. She wasn't sure if it was counting.

[@Yeah_Whocares]

A few tasks has had Joanne lying on the floor, to be fair.

[@daniel_wilkinson]

Maybe a metaphor for life, but also says a lot about the truly bizarre sh1t that they have to do to complete a task on the show that nobody notices bizarre sh1t happening.

[@harryschofield6822]

Umbrella!

[@nicosmind3]

Umbrellable!

[@sveniusz]

John had the easiest one, as getting different stuff from all over the place is never suspicious for a task. But there is a nice psychological aspect to it all. What strange behaviour of others are you going to ignore when you yourself are focused on concealing your own strange behaviour? I believe they could have gone much bigger with this and still nobody would make a comment.

[@krissdev]

Yeah, being on Taskmaster makes you indifferent to weird behaviours. You’re right John

[@ThatCoalSoul]

Everyone: John, how much do you like Freddie Mercury? John R.: Yes!

[@simonjacobs1]

John is a treasure. Umbrella

[@819phoenix]

Love this show

[@JustAPersonDoingThings]

Series 16: “Lucy might be the weirdest female contestant ever” Series 17: “Joanne and Sophie would like you to hold their beers…” (Btw, specifying “female” isn’t me being sexist, it’s just a necessary caveat given that Paul Chowdhry exists 😄)

[@faaa999]

😂😂😂

[@usernamesmeannothing]

Rhod Gilbert exists as well. He is a very disturbed man XD

[@mcculloch29]

Not weird, just off-beat. Both rapid-firing alternative thinkers. For true weird, see Steve Pemberton, although less so in this task, which wasn’t shown. He and Nick were spectacularly inept; “the worst task in 17 series “ according to Greg.

[@mcculloch29]

“Rhod Gilbert” is a very disturbed character. Not to be confused with Greg’s friend of over 20 years, Rhod Gilbert.

[@dp-g5i]

​@@mcculloch29 The "worst attempt in 17 series" is just recency bias. No task attempt will ever be so catastrophically shit as "my eyes are circles?"

[@201081hero]

Nick and Steve's effort on that task was so bad but at least theirs had the umbrella wink.

[@arkitson]

Nick is so good in this series. He is amazing!

[@GingerCC-he8be]

I am literally crying 😂😂😂

[@emercycrite]

John is such a babe

[@ripdbtpoo1441]

He's not the only one.

[@epicpluto5604]

It feels odd being this early!!!

As there is only one dressing room at the TM house i wonder if the contestants take turns using just that one room?

[@colcostello160]

Joanne is fit!

[@q3znw6j88aywnwy]

She's a rare case of someone actually looking worse before surgery

[@THETRUTH-2P987]

Was Alex abused or worked for MI5?

[@myoldreteacher]

Child of divorce

@@myoldreteacherthat’s Greg

[@kleptrep94]

I felt sorry for Sophie in the first part of the last task cause she was destined to fail because she had name a country beginning with X and that’s the only letter not to have a country beginning with it. I.E; Aruba, Bahrain, Cuba, Denmark, Eritrea, Finland, Greece, Honduras, Indonesia, Japan, Kiribati, Laos, Macau, Niger, Oman, Peru, Qatar, Rwanda, São Tomé E Principe, Thailand, Uganda, Vanuatu, Wallis And Futuna Islands, Yemen, Zambia. There is no X see, there is no X.

[@barneymetcalfe8896]

Wallis? Did you mean Wales?

[@Elwaves2925]

@@barneymetcalfe8896 They meant the islands in the South Pacific. Although, from what I understand that wouldn't count as it isn't a separate country, it's French territory and part of France.
