Taskmaster NZ Series 1, Episode 8 - 'Sweaty socks and depression.' | Full Episode

[@JuniperJadePR]

Leigh gave off strong "dad watching his children trick or treat" vibes during the costume task. Loved Smeagol & the Unicorn Rug.

[@merudevi]

Angela's mom, though. Like a big hug over the phone. My favorite episode of the season so far.

[@TammyBundleballs]

She's so sweet!

[@chpninjachick1418]

Literally crying at the fact Guy didn’t call Paul and Paul’s look into the camera during Brinkley’s 😂😂😭😭

[@JuniperJadePR]

I loved that everyone else came to that conclusion except Guy. Poor Paul looked so disappointed.

[@Hessarian]

The costume task has to be one of my favourite across all series hahaha, I can only imagine how bad the fish smell was for guy lmao

[@mikaylaa.k.8376]

The people around him had to be so confused. I wonder how many people offered him deodorant or breath mints.

[@wordsinahandle]

Fake fish

[@inspiteofshame]

Those can't have been real fish, they didn't look dried and he would've been wet all over if they were just raw fish

[@ceostudio]

Same this is so good 😂

[@mirrankei]

Angella's costume reveal was so amazing, wow

[@LuisGustavoBD]

So nice of Brynley to dress as Leigh Hart for the “outlandish costume” task.

[@TammyBundleballs]

*BADUM TSSSSS* 🤭😄

[@PokerJoker811]

Brynley's letter had excellent synergy with her costume.

[@garr_inc]

True Gollum speak.

[@simland]

I walked away because my food was done. Forgot to pause the video, came back to Sméagol celebrating a dead unicorn on the stage. I was VERY confused.

[@ElizabethJeanMiller]

I was worried about brynley because she looked pale the last two episodes and NOW WE KNOW WHY!

[@nothere9295]

This is so sweet of you though haha. Watching this the first time I too thought huh, Brynly’s hair is a choice.

[@jeannenebabor7897]

I don’t understand? The wig isn’t part of her costume? Can you explain?

[@ElizabethJeanMiller]

@@jeannenebabor7897 Yeah she took off the wig to reveal a bald cap so she could be Golum-so her actual hair was under the bald cap.

[@allisonregehr2202]

I was like… she has to be wearing a wig. But then I couldn’t remember if she was in other episodes and thought maybe it was a condition lol. Now I feel justified in thinking it was a wig LOL.

[@Tboe905]

Angela is a Genius .. glad this series came online

[@mindicity3874]

24:33 - This task has made its way onto a few of the international shows. It's always fun. I sincerely hope it continues its rounds and even makes it on to TM UK.

[@mania.v]

I vaguely remember a studio task in which someone revealed a tshirt and leggings with Greg's face(?) on them.. But I can't find the episode nor which task it was.

[@mindicity3874]

@@mania.v I think you're thinking of one of Iain's prize tasks in S8 - "The best face."

[@Cobralalalala]

Definitely lost most outlandish, but Leigh's costume still made me laugh way too hard! 😂

[@denizi6323]

this season took a while to grow on me but this episode was genuinely incredible, one of the best episodes of any season even.

[@shandevijagrup5111]

It was very smart of Angela to message Guy, he had so little points it didn't matter if he won the final task.

[@barzdinstone3831]

I see why Angela is such a sweet heart, her mom is the best of us. Angela had me laughing at leveraging it with cheek

[@Demi_P]

[@coolbabbit639]

Wow they went all out on the costume task. Such a good episode! Thank you taskmaster team and merry Christmas!

[@halanhart]

Leigh Hart's double outfit is a genius move

[@SennaAugustus]

It's 100% his brand, would be weird if he did anything else.

[@OphelyaGMS]

I love that Guy keeps saying he's the People's Champion when clearly the People's Champion is Angella

[@thdo07]

he's so annoying in the studio. i liked him generally in the tasks but sometimes he's just over the top.

[@skeliskellington5233]

Jeremy taking a point off Brynley for spitting wrong is one of the funniest point deduction moment 😂

[@SennaAugustus]

I think that points off Guy for "get yourself checked" rivals that.

Guy in the call someone from primary school and Leigh in the costume task are genuinely my top tier taskmaster moments

[@Romial34]

I'm sorry but Angela and Bryn should have both gotten 10 points for that costume task. They were both incredible and took SO much courage to do.

[@legaldrugdealer8696]

For real Bryn was moving so good! Being that flexible and idk cool

[@benni523]

"Are you a genius?" I love this line-up

[@kdpflush]

Leigh is so underrated, he's f'ing brilliant.

[@homagetogorto]

Hhhhwickedly talented!

[@curioushoodie]

He's a man of few words, but when he does speak, everything he says is hilarious.

[@VoiceSnacks]

“I wouldn’t be dressed as a unicorn rug.” Absolutely sent me.

[@FilbieTron]

I am SUCH an Angella stan at this point!!

[@alblin]

Angella has been killing it. I love her!

[@Imberis]

SPOILERS if you haven't finished the episode. I knew Brynley was wearing a wig the last two episodes and in my head I was like, "Weird choice, but who am I to judge?" And then we get... this. Amazing.

[@Faefolk]

Paul’s looks to camera are 5 star. Also the whole keyboard thing is hilarious

[@notme222]

I would think "call someone you went to primary school with" gets significantly harder for anyone born around 1980 or earlier. Sure, people do drift apart so older is always tougher. But if you had a mobile phone in school there's a fair chance you'll keep that number for the rest of your life. So people you didn't stay close with might still have your number somewhere. Before that, contacting someone meant their parents land line. Even if you still had that on a list somewhere it's unlikely to actually reach the person.

[@Fluff_Noodles]

Thank you for saying this! I'd argue that this task would be nigh impossible the older the contestant is.

[@ashleymorrissey101]

I couldn't do it. I moved a half dozen times and Facebook didn't exist when I was in primary school. Zero contacts from that age.

[@lynnettesue6240]

I was born in 81 and I have 3 people on my FB that I was friends with in elementary school. Only one of which is in my contacts list. All of them are just acquaintances at this point, but if I Messaged them to tell them I needed to call them, I bet all three would give me their number to do so, or would pick up my Messenger call. 😆

[@-Jesse.C]

Merry Christmas! Was very pleased to see an episode today.

[@nothere9295]

One of my favorite episodes ever! The last two tasks before the live task are some of the best across every taskmaster. Glad to see so many people enjoying this episode too❤

[@justanotherwhitewoman]

[@princesssheeps]

I’ve really been enjoying this series. I wondered what happened to Brynleys hair last episode lol, this explains so much haha

[@Maenadsattack]

“If I was at a funeral and they had these dips…I wouldn’t be very impressed” 😂😂😂 bit of an understatement.

[@leileleileleile]

this season has grown on me so much! that costume task was incredible

[@averyschwartz9731]

The typing a letter to the Taskmaster task is my favorite of the series and one of my faves across any series, actually. "Mmmmmm ass ass mmmmmmmm" and Leigh's gibberish slay me every time!

[@julialena3150]

Across every international version of taskmaster it is agreed upon that the golden head prize should only vaguely resemble the host and just slightly look like the taskmaster

[@catastropheintended88]

THIS, is the best Christmas present today!

[@coloneldookie7222]

@25:43 I'm sold. Guy said that everybody else was "stupid fucks" but clearly Angella is the most brilliant.

[@crazysasha1374]

That costume task was simply the best task I've ever seen!

[@bryan__m]

The keyboard challenge might be the first one this season that made me fully laugh out loud.

[@boydstephensmithjr]

I'm so glad TM NZ got to be shown on YT. The other country spin-offs didn't do it for me, but S2 of TM NZ is quite the gem (I saw it on a different YT channel).

[@doughmama1399]

Brynley texting with panicked vibes while dressed as Smeagol was so perfect 😂

[@illusion-xiii]

It may not have been outlandish, but wearing the exact same outfit under itself was friggin' funny! After all, as Leigh himself has said, it's not about the points.

[@Bein_Ian]

GIVE BRYNLEY THAT POINT BACK. not cool

[@bryan__m]

Hard agree. He's so arbitrary with the points. She objectively won the task but came in tied for second. And/or she should have gotten a bonus point for _shaving her whole head_ in the next task. It'll take literally years to get back to the length she used to have, and guy just duct taped fish on his shirt.

Just once I really REALLY wished I was on an episode of this show. Not because I'd well, quite the contrary. I don't have the phone number of _anybody_ I went to primary school with. Nobody. Not a single one. If I had been in that task, it would have been a 6 hour affair.
