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.

James and Rhod look so peaceful in the beginning. You can clearly see that this was filmed before the building of the annex

[@Janduin45]

Oh, the perfect stuff! ÆÆHH

[@joshberry4301]

EXTENSION! We didn't see "Phil Wang's annex"! 😂

[@mftmss7086]

bro got moe lested 💀

[@ytisfulloffreaks4189]

Beginning*❤

[@kisbie]

Acaster says in the extension task episode that was the last one they filmed that day.

[@zacharygrouwinkel1534]

“That could’ve hurt somebody.” Says the man who threw a javelin through the side of the caravan with Alex inside 😂

[@bootieos7701]

He also mentally hurt James through a couple tasks.

[@JLF201]

Hey, he gave Alex a trash bin, loo roll, and safety goggles! Safety first.

[@ripopol]

Rhod: "I can't condone that, that could've hurt somebody" Also Rhod: Javelin

[@jj225000]

I love it how Rhod goes "Oh Phil" kinda sad and disappointed like he's a little brother messing up the game when the poor guy is literally blindfolded. I laughed so hard when I saw this clip. Thank you to all the contestants on this season, it was one of my favorites.

[@MovieNut14]

"Bag of monkeys" is surprisingly apt descriptor for the team of Rhod, James, and Phil.

[@jeyfromnowhere]

"...also you were seven minutes slower" is a delicious cherry on top.

[@CaesarTjalbo]

"There's a fine line between happy and deranged." Jessica Knappett: "OH I KNOW!"

[@krock90]

Two tasks for the price of one! Oh, joy!

[@RickeGnool]

Kerry and Jessica is one of the best teams ever on the show. Rhod, James and Phil however is one of the worst BUT they are really funny to watch.

[@MamaMeansFatherInGeorgian]

Can't help to fall in love with this cast every time I watch any episode of this season!

[@brinsonopinion]

I love it when you post tasks I've missed from teams I know - this was wonderful lol!

[@RibusPQR]

I wonder if it was flipped upside-down or rotated upside-down. Alex didn't specify, but the fact that they used transparent sheets make me suspect it was flipped, while Kerry and Jessica thought it would be rotated.

[@Sanity016]

You could argue that Keri and Jess had a 25 point rally and Jess hit the ball 13 times and Kerri hit it 12 but that would be pedantic. A rally could also be defined as two racket hits for each point but again pedantics.

[@illusion-xiii]

I don't think it's pedantic, since the instructions include the word "exactly", and a word like that is put there on purpose, it was meant to be "exactly 24" at which point they should have let the ball hit the ground to end the rally (Jessica seemed to understand this when she tried to yell for Keri to stop). I was frankly surprised that neither Greg nor Alex pointed that out, considering how important wording of the tasks is in this show (it can mean the difference between a loophole and a disqualification), but my guess is that after the boys' team did so much worse, it was simpler to just give Jess and Keri a clean victory and not mention it. But I bet if things had been closer, it would have been factored in, especially if one team hit the exact number and the other didn't.

[@auntlynnie]

Ah, but is the first hit counted as a rally, or is it a serve?

[@ohalloranpeter]

I was waiting for this to be the gotcha moment, but it never came.

[@JLF201]

​@@auntlynnieEither way, I think it's a "shot."

[@calebpipping]

I think someone forgot to cut the studio task from this video. I’m not complaining.

[@iliketrains3495]

They've included it in a few videos if the main task is short. I'm pretty sure the blinking task also included the drum hitting live task after

[@MoonlitGamer]

looks like they needed it to hit the 10 min mark for ads.

[@GNVS300]

@@MoonlitGamer The midroll requirement was changed to 8 minutes a while ago

[@baby_jitterbug]

1:50 when Jess fell in the shed and Kerry was laughing 😂

[@DodderingOldMan]

Rhod was robbed on the studio task, that was a great caricature of a happy horse I thought.

[@redelfshotthefood8213]

It literally was just a jumble. I had no idea what it was. Not everyone sees things as you do, or me either. 😜

[@commentsforthealgorithm1740]

Blessed with an extra task!

[@benglaser1345]

0:18 yeah Rhod, THAT could have hurt someone

Great series that one.

omg its James Acaster! (sung to the tune of I'm a Survivor)

[@petgoose32]

And you are?

[@JLF201]

Full task, plus one.

[@ianitor]

bonus task

[@amelialikesfrogs5778]

kerry drew the rollerblade version of a horse

[@Boborbot]

Season 7 is simply the best one in TM history.

[@cyberwomble7524]

There should be more drawing tasks, which then can be used as a source of revenue - either by sticking the pictures onto stuff and flogging it *or* blackmailing the contestants with the threat of releasing them.

[@luciahoneybee]

I would legit buy clothing with the infamous hippopotamus 🤭

[@mcolville]

Did they forget to edit the live task out?

[@archer111000]

Is that a wild Mr. Colville!? Thanks for introducing me to this show many years ago!

[@lepayen]

I'm confused. A couple days ago there was "series 16 episode 10 upcoming" in my feed, giving the impression that episode 10 was being uploaded. The next 2 videos are just single tasks.

[@redelfshotthefood8213]

They release the full episodes on Fridays

[@poilboiler]

The clock on the wall on the taskmaster house must be VERY quick if Kerry and Jessica did their task in 12 minutes. :p

[@berndbeispielmensch]

Good point. It is entertainment, so I never believed that everything was real or perfectly true, but that took more than one hour. Even when subtracting some time for change of camera angles and rerolls, this seems far stretched to label as 12 minutes.

[@MamaMeansFatherInGeorgian]

Well if you look at those clocks really good you will notice it's not moving a bit through several cuts and then the time is drastically changed, so there must be some other trick and not just TM being cheating. One more thing, the shadows of the women and the trees around them didn't change that much that you may think there were too much time missing there. The clock is a real mystery though :)

[@combogalis]

@@MamaMeansFatherInGeorgian it looks like the hour hand on the clock is messed up and between cuts it righted itself. When we first see it the hour hand is at the 5 directly, but the minute hand is at 45, so the hour hand should be 75% of the way to the 6. We then later see it at about 80% of the way to the 6 and the minute hand has moved forward about 5 minutes. So my guess is only 5ish minutes passed between when we first see the clock and the final time we see it, which makes sense since we don't see it until later in their attempt.

[@AndrewTBP]

If they cared what the clock said, continuity would be resetting it between shots.

[@Labergemusic]

I believe that season 7 was maybe the best one. Last one Dave I believe it was.

[@lucaselvis]

The last Dave season was 9

[@Labergemusic]

Thanks for the clarification!@@lucaselvis

[@redelfshotthefood8213]

Dave?

[@Labergemusic]

@@redelfshotthefood8213 It's a TV network. It was a bit better because it was uncensored and a little looser

[@Dompn]

david baddiel, rhod gilbert, danny boyle. who is the other team tasker who sabotages the team? the guy who didnt want to eat broccoli gummy bears?

[@DodderingOldMan]

Kiell Smith-Bynoe. Also, I assume you mean Frankie Boyle rather than Danny Boyle, although I would love to have the director of some of my favourite films on the show :P

[@FutureDeep]

Pretty sure it was Susan Boyle.

[@icturner23]

Since it didn’t say what they had to have a tally with they should just have used an imaginary ball.

[@JLF201]

Arguably ambitious since they can't even see the ball

[@jameshill2450]

The girls also didn't hit it the same number of times. They had an odd number. Also, I kind of feel like James Acaster just normally thinks about everything upside-down anyway, so he had an unnatural advantage here.

[@64thecaptain]

Did the girls not hit it one extra time?

[@Sahta99]

Did the girls really play EXACTLY 24 shots? 😂😂

[@srenkristiansen2516]

No they did 25. Odd it didn't get called out

[@goingslowlynowhere]

Shhhhhhhhhhh. We did not see that 👀

[@JLF201]

​@@goingslowlynowhereNot only did we see it, we saw Jess try to stop it.

[@JLF201]

I am thinking that they decided only the first 24 shots would count. Alex pointed out the uneven number of times the guys hit the ball during their first 24.

[@SugarSnapDragon]

Good shirt on Phil.

[@johncameron4194]

Rhod 🤣😂🤣😂🤣

[@mloxard]

Phil had a better horse than Jess... her wasn't really happy - it was literally frowning

[@hectic8636]

this is cringe, why does anyone watch this?

[@redelfshotthefood8213]

Comedy is always hit or miss. Dig or split. I think you should choose split and not look back.

[@anne-zh2kd]

Anyone who uses the word "cringe" is either a child or a piece of shit. Which one are you?

[@promontorium]

Not fair disqualifying them for distance when the roof arched up and down, that's more than a flat surface, the women clearly didn't maintain the distance, and the women hit it an odd number of times as well.

[@PaulTomblin]

They also did it kind of diagonally.

[@peterclarke7006]

Welcome to the capriciousness of Taskmaster. It's fortunate that the scores are, ultimately, meaningless, and nobody gets taken outside and shot for losing. 😂

[@redelfshotthefood8213]

The women did their task at about 50% extra distance to start... so the reaches still didn’t blip them into too close...
