Take a Picture of Something that Looks Like You | Full Task | Taskmaster

[@raptorjesus3894]

If you'd asked Hugh to do this task he'd have taken a picture of himself in a mirror and argued that you are looking at a mirror, which is an inanimate object, and therefore he should win.

Funny thing is, I made a blue and white T-shirt with that exact sign and the text "For Your Protection, Wear a Richard Osman Disguise At All Times" about two years ago. In the process of designing it, I also noticed they flipped Richard's hair horizontally in the ROHoG logo.

Nah, he probably wouldn't be able to make ROHoG before Taskmaster. He said on the TM podcast that TM showed to TV stations that you could have the same gameshow contestants in multiple episodes, and make it like a soap.

[@GNVS300]

[@alanacat7787]

Could they not have taken a picture of a mirror with their face in it, the mirror is an inanimate object, and since his face is reflected in it, it would look just like him!

[@christopheauguste1532]

my first thought when i've seen the toster is that he tried to use it as a mirror but was unable to have the right angle

[@ciarangale4738]

depends on how scientific you wanna get. technically, the camera is capturing light that was reflected off your face by the camera, meaning you are, technically, taking a photo of yourself

[@TheKYLEdavid]

I feel like there’s argument to be made that a mirror is an animate object, as it has just as much expressiveness as the person it’s reflecting I feel like a picture would be fine

[@lilskipper4683]
