Taskmaster's Greatest Hits (Part 1)

[@kolakevicius]

Man, I loved Mark and Nish's song so much, that the first time I watched the episode, I replayed it several times. They did so well in that task!

[@maiNmusica]

I must admit I go back to that song from time to time, without watching the rest of the episode 🤣

[@Cabel.9751]

Agreed. The legit best completion of a task all series.

[@njuta]

I think they should release a full studio version for charity!

[@merpmerp7220]

I listen to it on a regular basis, it’s becoming a problem

[@kcolloran]

In terms of an actual thing created on the show it's probably the best thing. It's amazing. As much as I did enjoy Rosalind's a fucking nightmare, it should not have been a 3/2 split.

[@highvoltage988]

I'm Always Seeing You (Do Cool Stuff) is the anthem of our generation.

[@EveryCrazyDay]

Mark saying 'Mozart, one of my favourite bands as well' isn't getting enough love.

[@eleanorlamb1838]

He is very underrated

[@andresvillogas4025]

Mark & Nish’s song will always be my favorite performance ever for a task. It genuinely sounds like an early Belle & Sebastian song lmao

[@Patriiiiick]

It was fantastic. Reminds me of watching DIY punk/folk bands at my local.

[@thisfacebelievesyou8862]

Its the best. The full clip is on my personal “Pick Me Up” playlist. I love that the show added the shot of Rosalind’s toe tapping along because they mention she remained stone-faced throughout the performance.

[@puckbryn3583]

I’m scared to punch fish before descaling them now, the lessons I’ve learned from Taskmaster are invaluable

[@baoboumusic]

Dog's nursery rhyme is still one of the truly best things that ever happened on this show.

[@lewisduffin441]

🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@cezza6474]

Same. I was JUST about to punch a damn cod as well. Glad I did until I descaled that bitch. Smh how stupid can we all be not to descale fish???

[@MrSkinnyWhale]

Took me a second to realise people don't normally punch fish 🤣

[@thewonkytardis4177]

Your name isn’t Neil by any chance is it

[@thechris312]

Mark and Nish's song is super impressive. Genuinely listened to her and took her interests and made pretty damn good song out of it...

[@bababooey2731]

meanwhile rosalind: 😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐

[@nerfpolice3639]

James' song, "over my shoulder" meaning.... I'm getting colder, as he gets older it's harder to keep body temperature regulated. "Is that a boulder?" Meaning the tombstone over his grave because hes getting so close to death

[@dentol8860]

The first part is ok. But, the boulder, maybe its just a big rock lol.

[@jelly2584]

@@dentol8860 yes bébé

[@doha4258]

i like that you've added meaning where there wasnt one! i now raise you: "im getting colder" refers to him becoming more isolated and stand-offish as he grows more cynical from always having to look "over his shoulder" ;)

[@hundovir]

As someone who is himself getting older, I think "is that a boulder?" might refer to the difficulties associated with constipation.

[@stefanalexanderlungu1503]

I thought it meant "is that a boulder behind me, or is that someone over my shoulder?"

[@padoru369]

Romesh has provided some amazing things, like Tree Wizard, and throwing a watermelon on the floor

[@skille1712]

Part 2 definitely has to have Rosalinds a nightmare and Rose's version of the taskmaster theme

[@Jayk-kz7sh]

Yes on Rose’s country theme song rap! Easily one of the most impressive things to come from the show 😄

[@skille1712]

@@Jayk-kz7sh rose is one of my top three favourite contestants and I think her country rap is up there with my favourite moments in the whole show

[@mikepictor]

Yeah, how do they have that segment, and NOT pick Rose’s entry.

[@aenamabag]

And bob asking "do we strike you?"

“If it’s ‘Make a baby,’ I’m gonna win,” is an underrated line.

[@lawrencecalablaster568]

Thrice at least!

[@Jayk-kz7sh]

Worthy candidates for part 2: Frank Skinner singing a sad song while he forces a bunch of millenials to cry into the egg cup, Jon Richardson finally breaking and singing to the Mayor

[@rosieanox7557]

Romesh Ranganathan throwing the watermelon on the lab floor then eating it off the ground

[@joshc5234]

When I was a boyyyyy and old shep was a pup...

[@junew8133]

His little sad song to make a room of grown men cry into egg cups was peak Comedy. There's not a day that goes by when I don't think of it

[@danshaggy292]

rosieanox This video and part 2 are just the musical moments from the show, so the watermelon won’t make it in

[@FluffyCrimsonBirkenstocks]

Mate you've gotta see the Norway version of the guy singing to the mayor. He had her in tears.

[@sfshinz]

"I'm Always Seeing You (Do Cool Stuff)" and Aisling, Sally, and Bob's effort "Quite Good, Considering" are both works of genius, but "Tree Wizard" always makes me unreasonably happy.

[@Moccason]

6:38 Nish’s ‘Diverse Stripes’ joke got completely slept on! I thought that was hilarious

[@lrizzard]

i didnt get the joke, would you explain?

[@ah90178]

​@@lrizzard there's a band called White Stripes who are a brother sister duo

[@iliketrains3495]

@@ah90178 They're actually ex-husband and wife, the sibling duo thing was just something Jack White made up to confuse the press.

[@katiekat470]

Realised after the video was done that ‘greatest hits’ is because they are all musically related. I was sat here thinking this was like a Best of Taskmaster compilation 🤣

[@phildoingyoutube]

This is the third time I’ve watched the video and only figured this out tonight too 😂

[@roniius8784]

Tree Wizard is the best thing that's ever come out of this show.

[@KalleJon10]

I genuinely don’t see why some many people like that one? It’s not even the best thing Romesh has done!

[@kisbie]

nicole nagy “Do you have any idea how long it took to find that song?” damn near killed me.

[@MIROJZR]

magical hazzardHOLY FUCK its another baloooon

[@thisfacebelievesyou8862]

Rosalind may have remained expressionless during Nish and Mark’s performance, but that toe… that toe is a testament to how well they did.

[@dielegende9141]

James was definitely heavily disadvantaged at the 30-second piece of music task, because, being punk, he can't be used to such long songs

[@namunaama]

ah, finally! an official upload of my full wedding playlist.

[@yaya-mk3nn]

7:46 i love how pleased watto looks with himself after his drumming

[@Necron00b]

Part of me kind of wants the music task that James had to do to be recurring, such a great idea especially with non-musical guests haha

[@tereasia]

Yes!!

[@lolomydicks]

same but if there are recurring tasks, there's always the chance of comedians being prepared for them.

I love how much Mark Watson enjoys himself performing that song with Nish

[@samoleary8385]

Phil Wang: A Lime. That is the most beautiful piece of music ever

[@MsTriantafyllo]

The next one definitely needs Jon's nursery rhyme and Joe Thomas' song about him wanting to murder Alex..

[@anam00090]

Also Joe's classic 2-second masterpiece of MM GET TOGETHER MM MM

[@joannaburrell5460]

Asim’s rap for Greg doesn’t get enough appreciation

[@CoLoJePa]

James song's last line could have been about dying "getting colder" and the "is that a boulder" could refer to a headstone. Keeps in line with the whole someone sneaking around after you for years.

[@bloomp9676]

Nah, it’s just a big rock

[@JackPicko91]

Mark and Nish's song for a stranger was so damn good. As good as Rosalind is a fucking nightmare was, that song should've made top 40.

[@redflost]

Love how the most watched part of the video is everyone cheering for Mark and Nish. Genuinely the best song and such a win for them. They deserve it!

[@WorldzMo5t3pic]

Life's age-old question, "Is that a boulder or a big rock?"

[@jartism]

The episode with Tree wizard was my first introduction to the show, and to this day it's still one of the most iconic task responses in my opinion

[@nicholeayt509]

Doc's video is still one of my all time favourite moments in TM. Honestly this task in general was one of the best, they were all hilarious... Even Joe's terrible one 😂

[@ReGGiEbayer95]

Mark has to be one of my favourite contestants on this show so far, that season itself was up there with the best too

[@samsilly123456]

It took me halfway through this video to realize it was "greatest hits" as in musical hits and not as in "best bits"

[@Woodkin007]

So why was the mask eating and love declaration musical?

[@francislawson3523]

Rosalind's a Nightmare and That's Peter Hudson must make an appearance in part 2 please!!

[@punkbandOnline]

Katherine’s nursery rhyme; Katherine’s song to the mayor; and Quite Good, Considering all deserve a spot on the next one.

[@nationaljen]

Oh yeah! Forget that’s what we know as Rosalind’s a nightmare

[@rienv2]

this channel proves i can watch the same clips recut multiple times and still enjoy every time

[@rachel6428]

3 more needed songs for part2 are Rose's taskmaster theme, the other "song for a stranger" Rosalinds a f*cking nightmare, and the impress the mayor song from Jon

[@Jan-du9ul]

Please include Jo Brand acing that 'egg timer' challenge by belting out 'Jersualem' from her car for the next part!

[@kimaboe]

James' face as his nice explanation of punk ethos is punctured by his own lyrics is amazing... but then he brings it back with "or is it a big rock" and a deadpan expression that almost makes you think you're the moron for not *getting it*.

[@whoobs]

Ed making Alex dress as a mermaid fountain and the song he has to sing! Classic!

[@lolabworse]

Ok, but where is Ed's serenade? I'd listen to that on repeat!

[@hayreddinbarbarossa661]

I would genuinely buy Nish and Mark's singles

[@christylawson4099]

How did Jon Richardson’s rendition of Three Blind Mice not make the cut? One of my favorite Taskmaster performances of all time.

[@gabividigal2839]

I've watched the Rosalind songs so many times I know them by heart! Joe Wilkinson's potato throw tragedy is a must for the next ones.

[@NightwingSkywalker]

The thing I hate about this compilation is it brought up tasks that just made me think of songs they didn't show: Every single entry in the S2 nursery rhyme task (literally all of them were amazing, especially Jon's). Bob and the girls singing about Rosalind. Rose's version of the Taskmaster theme song. So much instant classic being tossed to the side.

[@njuta]

I'm so impressed with that Good Enough song!

[@ML-rk2cx]

We all knew Tree Wizard was going to be part of this

[@smilesfordays]

The knish/crane duo did such a good job on that song it truly almost made me cry. Every time.

[@BARUtubbig]

I personally loved Jon Richardson doing tasks the other 4 came up with, so original and he did a great job. Especially the makeup tutorial

[@grlth]

Doc making that song his own. Love it.
