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.

He's there for the fun of it. After all, it's about having an entertaining show while at least putting on a reasonable face of trying to win. As an American, I'm used to shows based around intense competition and prizes. It feels very cold and ruthless, much like parts of the country. I really enjoy that most UK shows put the entertainment first, and nobody's confused about it. Some barely put forth an effort to claim it's about anything but having fun. Which is great. I really do not care who wins. I want to be entertained. That's what makes daddy forget about his problems. Oh yes. Ohhh yes.

@@weebjeez You are correct, Michael! But your explanation may cause some undue confusion as list-making is actually one of the uses of semicolons. It's not commonly done now, but still valid! Essentially, if you want to make a list in a prose paragraph you can use the semicolon as a sort of mid-sentence bullet point. it's a bit archaic but you'll find it in a great deal of canonical English lit.

[@propio2957]

@@hanah4236 Thanks for answering my question; it helped a lot! To answer your question, no. Many cities in the U.S. and particularly in the Midwest (where I live) have very little or no public transportation. I personally have never been anywhere that had underground public transportation. Midsize cities around here may or may not have a bus system (my small city of about 20,000 does not, but the neighboring city of 50,000 does and large cities definitely do) and that's about the only public transport you'd likely find in a majority of the U.S. I've heard that we are quite lacking in this category in comparison to many European countries. Thanks again and I hope that helps, though I'd be happy to answer any further questions :)

[@propio2957]

Oh, also: I've never actually ridden a bus, at least not that I can remember. They're just not common enough around where I live to really transport me anywhere practical.

[@hanah4236]

@@propio2957 That's fair enough, the US is so much larger than Europe. I do hope the US can work out better public transport, but that is probably an improbable dream. If you ever find yourself in a place with a metro, a lot of areas take on the name of the station that is closest. Buses are a blessing and a curse. If you are late for something, you will be later on a bus. On the other hand, they're cheap and reliable.

[@overweightactor]

It's almost unfair to ask Noel to do art challenges. He has an art degree.

[@SinfulJon]

@@chrisj403 There is a limited time to do challenges, this one and the last art challenges were 10 minutes each, and the last one was having to draw a person he could not see and had to figure out what they looked like via asking questions. I've been an artist for 30 years and while I can easily do something in 10 min, you sure as heck won't be getting my best. I'd imagine it's the same for him. I honestly only know him from these UK tv shows, I didn't even know he had an art degree until this comment section. Anyhow, if you are interested in seeing other artist try to draw in short times, there was a video challenge a years ago about drawing in 1 min, 10 min, and 1 hour. That might help demonstrate the difficulty in drawing something in short time frames. You have a good one. :)

[@SinfulJon]

@@chrisj403 Possibly, but that is why I mentioned the 1 min, 10 min, 1 hour challenge videos. Not everyone can do well under a limited time frame, and those videos demonstrate that even good artist can't do too well under time restrictions. I have no idea what that guy is capable of, but in my opinion it was pretty good given the short time frame, challenge rules and conditions in which he had to paint in. Also, there are many types of art styles and different appreciation for them, to you and I that might be pretty good or just ok, and to others that might be the best thing they've ever seen.

[@BobSmith-rs7tn]

@@chrisj403 It's easy enough to point out that what you think is good is entirely unimportant to him while doing art.. perspective and interpretations and all that..

[@incrsmathr]

Chris J The thing is, Noel’s been a professional (if I may say so) artist for over 20 years and, I believe, has developed a particular style which includes certain shapes/colours/expressions, so, I’m pretty sure, doing the task where they had to pain Greg, he potentially could’ve create an anatomically/visually “correct” image with all of his artistic background but instead portrayed taskmaster in his own recognisable way. And also I’m pretty sure he doesn’t really give a fuck...

Knowing that Mel keeps or has kept guinea pigs makes me love her even more. She really seems like a guinea pig person and I love that.

[@avadheshmalik]

Is nobody going to acknowledge what a wonderful artist Noel actually is? I mean one look at the portrait and you can actually tell it is Greg!

[@thomashanson6603]

I love how when you hand Hugh a sharp object he can't contain his joy.

[@goyasolidar]

Anyone else notice Mel's mismatched shoes?

[@ronrolfsen3977]

She is still wearing those from the previous episode stage challenge.

[@avikash7620]

Scrolled down for a comment on her shoes. It took me a while to notice but it's so quirky I love it!

[@ierafoxx2305]

They're always mismatched.

[@LynxSouth]

Noel seems to have a karmic relationship with drugs and foxes.

How did no one use the napkin underneath the rice?

[@PokerJoker811]

Joe did. Just not for the task.

[@gd7681]

Maybe because they all thought it was too obvious.

[@H.E.L.E.N.A.]

I'M SO FRUSTRATED NO ONE DID! I kept waiting for one of them to figure that out!

[@SLCclimber]

I would've used the balloon myself

[@namnam2701]

I don't understand that it surprises you, it's very practical so it was too likely that other people touch it. Just like the bread, it's a good item, but since a lot of people touched it, it's a shit item that makes you loose.

[@Volth]

I'm only on the second episode of this series and knowing nothing about the contestants before starting, I can already tell that Mel is a national treasure. Or am I wrong?

[@HamburgerTime209]

I love how much fun Joe, Noel and Lolly seemed to have with the flower task. Lmao at the end they just decided to chuck everything that wasn’t nailed down off the bandstand.

[@pavlinafricova2038]

Noel's painting of Greg is genuinely brilliant

[@krashd]

He has an art degree so he had an unfair advantage in that task.

[@GotWrackspurts]

Noel is definitely closer in age to mel than to joe or lolly

[@nathangee7075]

Jimmy Carr's greys are starting to make an appearance thanks to the lockdown, imagine what Noel's going to look like after a few months without a dye-job.

[@ILuvAyeAye]

@@nathangee7075 I bet Noel knows his way around some box dye.

[@nope24601]

Mel reminds me of a family friend. Full of cheer, regardless of circumstances. Bless her.

[@alexanderdeamond986]

To all of those posting British panel shows: thank you so damn much! I live in the US and I wouldn't know how to watch any without those posters. Task master, count down, 8 out of ten cats, mock the week, QI, it's the majority of what I watch these days.

[@sallystang5885]

Me too! Here in US, but thanks to Brit posters on KZbin for providing us with these gems! I can't get enough of Taskmaster! 8 out of 10 cats Does Countdown and Would I Lie to You? and QI have so many series, but I've gone through all of them - all caught up. And more than one time. Watching many reruns.

[@fhpurcell7713]

You know, when you just look at Noel Fielding you kind of don’t get why he was sexiest man of the year because he just looks like Onision mixed with emo era Jared Leto and a little bit of Ross Noble. But then he goes and does something and suddenly you understand, no homo but this fucker has something absolutely extraordinary about him

[@DeathnoteBB]

Onion Boy wishes he looked like Noel Fielding

[@rebecca4568]

Joe arriving with his beautiful fur coat is such a mood

[@iHateHandlesGetRidOfThis]

y'know... after re-watching this i realize that mel got away with breaking one of the rules... "Only the paint and brushes can touch the mat, easel, and canvas" but she was finger painting...

[@weebjeez]

"Ah, but there was a thin veneer of paint between her finger and the canvas, else the finger painting wouldn't have worked" he argued, pedantically.

[@someguydoesstuff3337]

I was wondering if anyone else noticed that

[@MrCh0o]

@@weebjeez Now I'm sad nobody just slathered the soles of their shoes in paint

[@eolsunder]

well i guess technically anything that your painting with is ok to touch the canvas, such as the roller, brush, or any paint "tool" such as your fingers. Otherwise you couldn't touch it with a paint roller or similar implement. I'd guess if she wanted to paint with a shoe, sponge, towel, etc that would be within the rules as a painting tool? Not to touch the canvas or easel of course, but to actually paint with fingers would be ok.

[@iHateHandlesGetRidOfThis]

@@eolsunder by painting with her fingers she is touching the canvas, thus breaking a rule

[@alias3660]

Alex's little "I don't understand it" is a fat mood

[@aaroncarson]

The immense joy when Mel says "I was 45!" is the best thing I've ever seen

[@KelpTheGreat]

I read that more as embarrassment than joy, lol. Self-aware, amused embarrassment, of course.

interestingly enough the long distance painting/drawing is actually a technique to help hand eye coordination and a valid form of art.

Mel and Hugh together always makes me laugh. The pure chaos of my comedic parents.

[@e.mulder9245]

Did Mel and Desky learn their balloon tying together technique at Oxford?? Gosh, the things a posh education will bring you. Btw if Mel isn't literal human sunshine, I don't know who would be.

[@Vesdus]

This is my religion. Greg Davies is my god. All hail the Taskmaster.

Woohoo, Tuesdays are the best day of the week! Would love to see David Mitchell or Lee Mack on here! Or, even better, both of them on the same series.

[@meeradavies9732]

I know right!! 9 seasons and still no David Mitchell and Lee Mack.

[@sparo_splat]

And please put them on the same team for the team tasks.

[@jenelaina5665]

David and Victoria please

[@user-lu4fn9pe4y]

now that's how someone who understands British TV thinks well bbc got the show now ,and if it doesn't interfere with wilty, they should definitely put them in THE SAME SERIES also these two seems so board and not in the spirits of wilty this year, would be nice to change the rhythm

[@qwertyTRiG]

@@jenelaina5665 Ooh! A David and Victoria combination seems unlikely (it's not really her kind of show), but would doubtless be awesome.

[@felixvelariusbos]

I've never seen anything more relatable than Mel just touching the horse, then everything, then saying she just really enjoyed touching things.

[@leas.5596]

This is one of my favorite seasons - without knowing anything about Noel (except that I IMMEDIATELY loved him) I called him early as the winner. He was just so likeable, does well at athletics AND art...just an all around lovely human being. I also loved Mel, Hugh, Lolly, and Jon.

[@luuketaylor]

42:46 has got to be one of the best one liners I've heard on this show. Noel is hilarious.

[@A_O_Leary]

I love that no one in the egg challenge used the napkin. 4 of 5 used a slice of bread.

[@misteryA555]

I was surprised too! The napkin was my first idea. You pick up a lot of things with a napkin over the course of a life, not as many with bread Although Mel touching every item means they would've gotten the one minute penalty anyway lol
