Task 3 |

It's time for Task number 3 - make the best dancing elephant. All the information is in the task. Your time starts now!
Tweet your submissions with the hashtag #HomeTasking! Keep them short and sweet so we can watch them all, and try and film landscape so everyone will stop being mad at Little Alex Horne.
Keep your eyes peeled on Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 9am GMT for more opportunities to win and be featured in a compilation with a special message from the Taskmaster himself, Greg Davies.

"Please film your clips in landscape, not portrait" *looks significantly at Greg in the last update*

[@oogity-swoogity]

Greg is an exception due to him being so incredibly handsome and glorious. He is above the law.

[@Snaakie83]

Greg is too long for landscape

[@atomicmrpelly]

@@oogity-swoogity Dude... you're trying to make a funny comment about why Greg Davies has to be filmed in portrait not landscape, I think there's some easy low hanging fruit which you just missed spectacularly :P

[@MrDannyDetail]

@@atomicmrpelly We all missed Greg's low hanging fruit, as he did not pan down that far to show his lack of trousers!

[@ancientseraph6111]

[@ocdholic]

The landscape mode should also apply to the Task Master. Yeah, Greg, we're looking at you, you pantless giant! 🤣✌ Edit: dancing elephant...I'd copy Noel's exotic sandwich and trigger Alex's PTSD heh heh 😉

[@DairunCates]

He doesn't fit horizontally into a video. You'd either have to see only his head or they'd have to be zoomed out enough to reveal he's not wearing pants.

[@frenchguitarguy1091]

I've just spent two hours on a hill learning how to grab the moons energy from the sky and wipe it on my womb. It was too cloudy to see the moon properly & I was getting bitten by mosquitos. I think the circle of only women there must have thought I was an incredibly convincing transgender person who is pregnant. I gained no beneficial moon powers. It started with a nice dance so I didn't realise & by the time all the getting energy from the sky & earth and rubbing it on your womb stuff came into play, I realised I couldn't leave because they wouldn't stop to hear my explanation why I was leaving and think I was rude and then gammadian might zap me with his moon powers. I decided to just try to make the most of it, and chose to wipe the moons energy on my thighs and chest instead. I also needed to pee the whole time. At least she did cancel or that would have been the worst first date ever! But essentially I have just spent two hours on a hilltop in the cold being bitten by mosquitos at a pregnancy workshop being told by gammadian that we are like a flute, and we must let the spirit wind blow through us and create wonderful music. I guess he may be right... Even though I'm not pregnant

Hey! Big fan from California! I would love to take part in some of these tasks, but the time difference makes it hard. The tasks are released at 2 AM my time and this one would have to be sent in at 8 AM. The time frames for the first two were much better for me for that reason. If it would be a possibility to keep them a bit longer that would be very much appreciated. Either way, thanks so much for doing #hometasking! This is such a fun opportunity to take part in my favorite TV show.
