Romesh Ranganathan's Best Taskmaster Moments

[@cyberperson53]

There's something strangely beautiful about watching Romesh Ranganathan run into a room wearing a CSI suit, smash a watermelon on the floor and begin eating it with the savage desperation of a caveman.

[@ssssophieeee]

Scotty Enn then throwing it up😂

[@rold-hx8bu]

This description of the event deserves a prize of some sort

[@TammyBundleballs]

*BOOOOF* The sound it makes is so dang good 😂

[@liamdeane4836]

Him smashing the watermelon is still one of the funniest moments in the history of this show

[@flavoredchin]

Alex's reaction was priceless.

[@SennaAugustus]

The very first task of the series as well.

[@WorldsWorstBoy]

For real. I cracked up for so long.

[@kisbie]

The director said Romesh smashing the melon was the very first thing they shot, and were immediately assured they had a hit on their hands.

[@copperdragon9214]

kisbie they were right

[@Gordyan_Knot]

I've never seen a man look more determined than Romesh stomping in and obliterating that watermelon.

[@katkat8571]

Frank: "Someone will take the first 45 minutes realizing it's better if they're wet." Romesh: "I just realized I should probably wet them." I love this show so much it hurts.

[@halkitchen1838]

The speed of the cut to Tim’s reaction sells it perfectly

[@_therealgabe_]

Love the contrast of his playing up a grump then giggling and having the time of his life during some tasks. Also that time during egg golf is a jam

[@sfshinz]

For someone whose schtick is so much based on being angry, it’s hard to find a comedian who plays so well with others. He’s a genuinely warm person.

[@anthtan]

He really does throw himself into his tasks, I have to say.

[@rafael_lana]

Himself and melons

[@arfansthename]

and that watermelon

[@kronksstronkstonks6360]

I remember flicking through channels one day, and came across the Tree Wizard bit. I had never heard of Romesh or Taskmaster before then, and it was the most glorious thing.

[@MichaelCoombes776]

If you had arrived at the time where Romesh was trying not to throw up, you'd probably be questioning television.

I like how the other contestants keep pointing out every other appearance of an available box after this.

[@spikemurphy5054]

Another part I like is when Frank tries to make out that he ‘didn’t have an electric cooker that he could use’, just to imply to romesh how BS romesh’s point is.

That moment where Romesh savagely threw that watermelon on the floor with the full force of a category 5 hurricane and began to tear into it like a caveman was the moment my mother fell in love with this show.

Because shitty youtube demonetizes the shit out of everything with any swearing in it. Hence why the full episodes on the Taskmaster youtube channel are censored while the originals were not.

All comedy aside, the audio engineering on the golf remix was incredible.

[@heddadybvadskog-nebb5603]

[@spaceo8568]

I know it should be about Romesh, and he's the man, but Alex is just so adorable and his brain is so amazing for coming up with this ridiculous show, on top of pairing up with Greg Davies, it's just brilliant.

[@mrgabest]

Romesh annihilating that watermelon is spiritually refreshing.

[@Kay-dh4sb]

Romesh seemed to have a different egg-golfing strategy from the others; he would start over from the point where the egg broke as opposed to where the egg-remains landed. Otherwise he would have done so much better.

[@steved8193]

Tree Wizard is back from the dead? When did he die?

[@jonthenamelessproject99]

In all the series of Taskmaster, no moment has ever had me in tears more than when Romesh and Tim savaged the fucking watermelons. I still cry with laughter even though I’ve watched the clip about a hundred times at this point.

Andrew Kingsman You missed the “ALL” part of my comment. I’ve already watched everything that has been posted. They’re missing an entire 7 seasons.

[@brandond.7228]

Beef Cake well they upload a new episode every week. So you gotta wait a good couple of months to have the remaining seasons on KZbin. As of now season 5 episode 1 is currently up. Another solution is to use VPN if you want to immediately watch the other seasons.

Archer Green - None shown in this clip did, but I believe Adam and one other person did (they just did a shit job of it XD)

[@holsg4363]

Who is Adam? Its Frank Skinner, Tim Keys, Romesh Rananathan, Josh Widdecombe, and Roisin Connaty. Josh boiled his eggs, but only ended up with soft boiled eggs lol Tim started boiling and then put the egg in a tennis ball so im not sure if he actually boiled the egg 1st or not

[@xPanda25]

Hols G - Adam was from another season, I'm just bad with names and mixed them up. But yes that's what I mean, they attempted to do that but both failed and just had a badly soft boiled egg

[@ryannguyen4925]

Legitimate question about the egg golf challenge: if its strokes x eggs x minutes, what happens if you don’t use any eggs? Could they have just gotten 0 seconds? Or what if they didn’t “shoot” but just move the egg with the putt? It didn’t say play golf with eggs it says complete each hole. I could be wrong.
