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.

Must admit my first thought was ‘why not simply remove the holder’, followed up somewhere along the lines of ‘where is the nearest train station’

[@vitriolicAmaranth]

Same. As they all started I was thinking "did nobody just remove the holder"

[@joeybulford5266]

Removing the holder was my first instinct too

[@chill_lp]

Yep, Same. Just rip IT Off the Wall already!

If you are a listener of Ed Gamble's the TaskMaster podcast, you may have heard Alex saying that his show must involve comedians. Because as intelligent and observant comedians are, they can have a total lapse of judgement and do something that defies common sense and stick to it. That's the entertainment and hilarious part of the show.

Hard to tell if Mike's TV personality is extremely different from his real life personality or if it's the complete opposite and he hasn't even noticed that there's cameras

He’s very similar in real life i’d say he’s just a bit more rough around the edges, still as polite as ever though i dont think he was playing much of a character during his run, genuinely think he was just enjoying himself

[@capnandy462]

Yeah, it was really obvious

[@stevethebarbarian9876]

You’d think that, but my first thought was to remove to roll from the little cardboard roll holder, which in hindsight makes me sound completely deranged compared to just ripping off the holder

7:06 Oh, that's crazy! They replaced the sign text with "Taskmaster House." You can see it wiggles quite a bit, as the intern editor who did the tracking had smoked 17 crumpets of straight peng that morning and forgot tracking was a thing, so they manually keyframed the movements.

[@Sebastian_Espinoza13]

It's probably still tracking, you can see that it starts to wobble more when the top part and bottom left is out of frame. Also it may be a dirty job of a track to save time, since no one actually cares

[@EssentialBlue]

It's funny but I don't know if maybe he also messed up. For me the grass is the ground and the last paper does not go around the whole loo roll. Meaning when it touched the grass at the first throw he would have actually lost. But maybe there the loo roll paper is longer? 😅 it also would be easily fixed with something else wrapped around the loo roll.

[@AsbestosMuffins]

"I went walking in that direction, got bored and left it" lol

wait a minute. It says the "Inner roll" has to stay on the holder. So there was nothing stopping anyone from just unraveling the whole thing, seperate it from the inner tube, which isn't the same as breaking the roll I presume, and then just leg it as far as you can in 20 minutes.

[@xavierfaust9417]

I think it says it has to stay attached.

[@Hannah4765]

@@xavierfaust9417 Nope doesn't say that paper needs to stay attached to tube. If you haven't got the strength to rip the holder off the wall, easiest thing to do is get a butter knife and wedge it between the tissue and the loo role tube. Separate the two while leaving the tube on the holder and then get as far away as possible with the tissue in the time you have remaining

Two thoughts immediately came to mind First rip the roll holder out of the wall Second unroll the entire roll and detach the roll from the cardboard tube The instructions said the roll must remain intact meaning you can't separate individual sheets but it never said the role must remain attached to the cardboard

[@JosiahGould]

Aye. I was sure that someone was just going to unroll the entire thing and chuck it in a bag then do a runner.

[@lujlp]

@@JosiahGould yeah once I finish writing my comment and watch the video I saw that the holder was attached to the shelving unit not the wall Also I'm not sure what they use for wall structure in set houses on sound stages in the UK Where I designing that I'd put the toilet roll holder and bolted into a solid steel girder just to f*** with people

[@jjakjjak5231]

Nice idea, but... Often a piece of toilet paper is glued to the roll. By separating you might well break the paper...

Unwind the toilet paper completely whilst wrapping it around something else and making sure it doesnt break. That way the tube stay on the holder and you can then take all the paper as far as you can. Edit: after having watched Lee Mac i hadnt considered ripping the holder off the wall

mailing the item in theory seems good, but the time limit was 20 minutes. i dont think it would even be sent out in that time limit, but tbf, you might have been the farthest if you managed to get it to the post office itself. assuming its more then 3 miles away.

[@benfulfer3260]

To be fair Lee lost before the task even started

[@jero37]

My first impulse would be to remove the TP holder off the wall, ask for a box, take it to a Fedex store and send it to Australia.

[@roguishpaladin]

There was a timer. It'd probably expire while it was still in the Fedex store.

[@superhotnutjob]

@@roguishpaladin Correct. Someone else did that on a "make this piece of ice disappear" task, on another series. They took the distance that the thing was at when the time expired.

[@jero37]

@@superhotnutjob Like I said, first impulse. And getting to the shipping store would probably be fairly good strategy for that sort of task. Especially based on what competition did.

[@beemoh]

@@roguishpaladin They did something like that in (I think) James Acaster's series. Either the time ran out at the post office, or the item got lost in the mail, I forget which.

[@superhotnutjob]

@@jero37 Sure, I get it. I wasn't trying to call you out. But basically, the post office is an unnecessary escalation, that would probably take time away from travelling farther from the wall. If you just ripped it off the wall, and ran outside in a straight line, you'd probably get father than if you took the time to put it in a box, write out an address, cue in line, etc... Having said that, "first impulses" are what make this game so great and so fun to watch. I'd love to see someone try that one way or the other.

[@Sem5626]

where was the meltdown?

[@MorningDusk7734]

Why couldn't you just flush the TP, in a continuous line, straight off the wall? Once you get to the end of the roll, simply unstick the end from the tube, and nothing was (provably) broken. There'd be no way to measure how far it went, but it could be estimated by how fast water runs through a sewer system.

[@TPH250290]

You have to keep the toilet roll on the toilet roll holder. Unless you're going to try to flush that too.

[@MorningDusk7734]

@@TPH250290 I thought it just said that the tube had to stay on the holder, not the whole roll? That's why they could unspool it in the first place.

[@megasora4]

@@MorningDusk7734 it did state only the tube needed to stay on. problem with your idea is how difficult it is to flush a straight line without it creating blockage/ripping (especially the cardboard bit, once you start the process you wont be stopping unless you want to risk said blockage and ripping. that shiz be glued on real good most of the time.) i do agree there would be no way to measure said distance, but at the same time it can be argued there's no way to know if it ripped/touched the ground during its travel. taskmaster greg would need to decide that one..... if he thinks of it that is.

[@Jerisa]

Hey Alex? Would it have been allowed to just put all the sheets of the roll in a bag, leave the inner roll on the holder and go?

[@thatotherchannel7945]

It’d be risky since you might tear it off trying to get it off the roll

Does it break if you completely unroll it from the roll? I would say not. If I was on the show I would immediately think to wrap it around my arm and walk away

[@iseriver3982]

I don't know, in my experience (at least one a day, hash tag humble), the last bit in the roll always tears.

[@matthewpopow6647]

Depends, sometimes the paper is stuck to the cardboard and it doesn't come off clean. If it leaves behind papers I'd say yes.

[@Road-Peasant]

But the other rule was it must stay on the roll holder.

[@iseriver3982]

@@Road-Peasant the loo roll must start on the loo roll holder.... Hang on, I'm getting flashbacks to the Ian Stirling loo roll controversy 😂

[@RumblyGL]

If the last bit that's glued comes off cleanly fair play but, it wont.

[@johncameron4194]

Yeah Jamali

[@samtremblaybelzile]

I would argue that everyone who didn't get disqualified is tied, because the word "here" is written on the paper itself, so because "here" is an indexical word, the point to measure from is always on the paper, and the distance is always 0.

[@Outlanes]

I would’ve put the start of the roll in the loo and flushed the toilet , getting the entire roll flushed but leaving the inner tube on the holder , then would’ve argued the loo roll could now be at the nearest toilet waste management facility

[@megasora4]

problem with that method is that the paper would most likely rip from the force, that or they would count it being removed from the cardboard as "ripped." it could also cause blockage and cause the toilet to backup instead. wouldn't get you minus points probably, but would prevent the entire roll going down until to clear said blockage, which at that point would either rip/touch the ground. my first thoughts were the same as the 2nd group. remove the holder with the tp on it, bag it, then driven it myself to some where far while bringing alex with me, get some tea once there or on the way back and treat alex.

[@PertinentSkittle]

Take it all off the roll and flush it

Should unroll it first and carry the pile of toilet paper as you go rather than try to unroll it as you need more length. Not as optimal as just removing the holder and leaving with the whole thing though.
