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.

I'm actually french, and can I just say: Mel's french is very excellent. There are some words that she doesn't know (the verb "burster" isn't a thing, for instance) but overhall she has a great diction, accent and vocabulary. Very impressive. And the way she translated Hugh is actually perfect. It IS "Hughes", pronounced the way she does. Justice for her.

I utterly love how unpredictable Greg is, loving Hugh's "chair". It makes the whole show work, because the viewer gets the sense that he's being true to whatever his internal definition of his character is and not the expectations of said character. It keeps the show from feeling like a farce or scripted. And it provides endless fodder for arguments by fans afterward XD

[@MarkJGGs]

I feel like the prize task is a great way to keep things competitive, and the final task a lot of the time. They have some leeway to give points to who they need to to make the show better, though a truly bad or excellent prize is hard to score 1 or 5 respectively.

[@jk7690]

or as Greg calls it "gut instinct says you're coming last" :P

It reminded me of an album cover from King Crimson. I liked it, but would rather have the model he made than a full sized chair based on it.

So something that's been occurring to me as I've been going through and watching full episodes, is that there is some untold number of tie-breaker tasks that have been filmed, that we've never seen. Like, all five contestants had to have attempted the mayo jar task, but we only saw three of them, and presumably there's a tie break task filmed for every episode, but we only see a couple of them a season. I would love to see a compilation of unaired tie break tasks.

Joe taking various objects from the set is fucking hilarious 😂

[@lucasmartin6335]

After watching Rhod Gilbert in season 7, my first instinct was to lock alex in the caravan so he couldnt come out to find me

[@nicoleolivia9897]

Hugh and Mel's french journey was so soothing and the others was just agressively yelling "YAA YAA YAAAAAAH"

[@sebastiang.8677]

Their French and German were perfectly understandable!

[@OrlindeEarfalas]

I'm French, and Mel and Hugh's french is genuinely impressive, she even has the right sounds and little expressions it was fantastic to witness xD

[@GoneCoastal86]

I actually CRIED laughing at Mel murdering the manikin

[@annenixda4800]

'et maintenant, fait le... le bouf' made me cry-laugh. Mel's French sounds pretty good all things considered, and I guess Mel+Hugh were lucky that they both understand French. Joe's German pronounciation is very good (except maybe for Kokosnuss, the o-sound is a bit longer in German). And now I wonder why he mainly knows how to ask for different food things.

[@dielegende9141]

Love how they just immediately understood "schnell" (quick) as "forward"

[@Jenny_Sama]

Mel and Hugh were absolutely lovely with the team task!

[@Gatinois]

Her French is actually great! It was cute at least.

[@ThePictoucounty]

Mel was so good in the team task, I, alone in my bedroom, clapped when she and Hugh completed it

[@laurenmontgomery421]

Joe and Noel both englished a lot I’m surprised Greg didn’t dock points

[@user-bp8vc4wu8b]

Holy damn I was on a Taskmaster binge watch didn't realize this was just the latest release.

[@danniatan1436]

Dear Taskmaster channel, We appreciate you and these videos so much!!! Thank you for making them available to millions more people!

[@kenetabansi5016]

Noels strategy is really to just bulldoze through the tasks in the most chaotic way possible

[@nonyabiz8726]

everytime i see Mel i love her more and more

[@rararepelsteeltje]

Ironic for a man called Desky to be the best chair

[@eriks_trip]

As an American I have never felt as alienated from Taskmaster as I did when the phrase "You cannot speak English" appeared on the task and neither team seemed that worried. Being able to just switch to competent French or German on the fly because you were taught it in school is unheard of here.

[@bluesbest1]

Well, depending on where you live, that might not be a problem. If you live in the Southwest or Florida, Spanish tends to be a common second language. And if you live in New York or some other major immigration center, then chances are you've picked something up. That being said, I haven't been able to hold any kind of conversation in a second language in about ten years despite living in the LA region.

[@krashd]

In the UK language lessons are mandatory, in most high schools you have a choice of German or French but in bigger schools they also have Spanish, so you tend to leave school with at least a decent understanding of a second language. In mainland Europe almost everyone can speak two (or more) languages as they tend to be fluent in their own language but also English, and many of them make fun of us Brits because they think we don't bother to learn other languages because we "think English is superior", but we do actually learn a second language at school. I did four years of German in high school and I get to practice it against Germans when gaming online.

[@bluesbest1]

@@krashd We have language classes in America, too. It's just that most of us basically sleep through class and barely use our learned language so it atrophies. I took a couple years of Spanish, but since I basically never had any reason to _use_ Spanish I forgot most of it by the time I graduated.

[@jijitters]

@@bluesbest1 Yeah unfortunately classes in the US are more about "memorizing stuff for the tests" than actually *learning* and that includes language classes, so most of us don't ever make much use of it past whatever vocab meshes with our everyday speech. 3 years of Spanish myself and barely any of it stuck.

[@thisasiankidistrashfordram374]

The irony when the ENGLISH are more competent in a 2nd language than most Americans (NOT counting more recent immigrants because most of us already have a different language).

[@nathanroos4143]

Lolly: “coolest handshake?” “giving away money, opioids and antiinflammatories”.

[@faithhaight]

Don't forget gum

[@lauramasini3428]

So nobody noticed Noel saying "Non parlo italiano" (I don't speak italian) while Lolly was speaking german? xD Also, schnell means "fast", not "forward", wtf xD

[@SmallSpoonBrigade]

Yes, but in this case, you could say fast when pointed the right direction. It was mostly that bit when she wanted reverse where it didn't work. But, considering that the other contestants didn't speak it was a but of a moot point.

[@pear-head]

God this show has no lows. I hope one of you bully Richard Ayoade into clearing his schedule so he can be in the 10th series.

[@Emiliapocalypse]

He’d be perfect for this. Hope it happens!

[@morphunkown]

I like how Mel shakes hands eerily similar to how she dances!

[@fresharche6227]

Noels Handshake....or how to greet eachother in the times of corona

[@Felipera_]

Don't forget the alcohol on your dick afterwards

[@jeffk7513]

Better than most episodes, loved the handshakes!

[@carolyn9758]

“I like being 6 foot away” Alex was ahead of his time. Edit: while this got no attention on here my tweet about it was liked by Alex Horne so I feel content.

[@Mdaniela068]

I was in the middle of taking a sip of my drink when Mel chest bumped the mannequin and I nearly spat it out 😂😂
