Series 14 Outtakes - Part 3 | Taskmaster

[@elise_fastcar]

Dara saying “is it for cleaning lifts?” in the dark while staring at Henry Hoover is the exact reaction I needed after that live task!

[@fakiiri2645]

The intonation reminds me of Basil Fawlty. The indignation.

[@mainie_videoediting]

and how John took like 10 minutes processing what just happened and Alex had to reassure him and herd him off the stage 😂

[@andreaskarlsson5251]

one of my fav outtakes! :D feels weirdly real when theyre not lit up on the scene xD

[@Pagliacci_Rex]

"Appointment tv" still exists, but as you say, only here. Others I'll enjoy, consume, move on and pretty much all of them I'll watch them when it suits me, but this one, it's park up close to the telly, snacks & beer ready, laptop closed when the ad breaks end.

[@Jennyfisch]

It's my feel-good-show in the truest sense of the word.

[@hextonum]

The most depressing thing to hear is "make your way up to the stage for the final task of the series"

[@Shadowsoul8]

Yeah I'm the same. It's a fun, light hearted show. N everyone just seems so nice and enjoying themselves

[@CodyErekson1]

I don't think I've ever seen someone like John - a comedian who is shy even while on stage, yet still pulls the joke off.

[@nvrmnde]

Mark Watson could be described similarly, but still...no one is like John.

[@nvrmnde]

@@sherryxia8362 personally don't think of him as necessarily shy, but really socially awkward (fine line though). And he isn't as committed to making jokes, he isn't even a comic by profession really. He is just occasionally funny and on point. (Edit: this comment was originally about Joe Thomas, but the comment I'm replying to seems to have been deleted?)

[@TVFILMBUFF]

Got to remember, that truly shy people don't put themselves in these situations where they are on international, unscripted, unrehearsed tv. He's just a brilliant actor in addition to simply a comedian to pull this off. Another fantastic example is Angella Dravid on the NZ version of taskmaster. Comic genius playing the shy/awkward type.

[@iliketrains3495]

Besides being the first to feature 'co-losers', here's a few records set from this series: - It's the first series in Taskmaster history to be won by the person sitting in the leftmost seat (or, in other words, the first person alphabetically), although Adrian Chiles also did the same in the second New Year's Treat. - It's the first since series 3 not to feature any tiebreakers, so it makes sense one of them got promoted to a main task (the snort tongue one). - Dara won by the highest lead to date, I'm not 100% sure but I think he was 10 points ahead of Sarah; the highest before was 8, which has occurred multiple times.

[@Tao_Tology]

It's also (I think) the first series where a contestant got a Perfect score for every task in an episode.

[@iliketrains3495]
