Series 12 Outtakes | Taskmaster

[@Shezaad18]

The best part about Taskmaster is that the outtakes could fit perfectly in with the usual show. It's just a good time all around.

[@michaelcolbourn6719]

They should just make the show 30 mins longer and include more banter.

[@wciii6592]

@@michaelcolbourn6719 I personally disagree. Too much talking is the reason why I quit watching Pointless even if I liked the format but that's just me.

I love Victoria. Even more for saying Alex is what she wants on television. Alex is tv magic

[@TheAlexH]

I've thought for years that if I could pick someone off TV to be friends with it'd be Alex Horne, so Victoria summed that up well!

As Victoria said, it really is weird without an audience. It's so eerily quiet. We can't even hear the crew.

[@Corkie0000]

Am I the only one who prefers the level of awkwardness that it unmasks?

[@kevinw712]

I enjoyed the no-audience environment for what it gave us for something new, but I'm more than ready to get back to the original style. Mostly for Greg's behavior, I miss how often sort of hilariously combative he'd wind up getting into with the crowd.

[@StanleyKubick1]

I loved it.

[@drumboarder1]

So much better

[@timleftwich]

@@kevinw712 I agree with you on both sides. This format threw me off for one series but then I grew to enjoy it. But I do really miss the audience-based shenanigans and reactions.

[@ryanheyes6727]

6:23 is the moment where Victoria, Alex and Greg all have the same pun that works so well, it’s beautiful

[@DarkHarlequin]

8:08 Refusing him the ability to explain and just asking for a name is comedic genius right here 😁

[@melissah8415]

Alex Horn is a genius! Developing this show and then making himself the assistant and the butt of everyone's jokes and wrath.

[@SingleMaltIdiot]

Watching Alex trying to direct the show while Greg keeps missing the cue while becoming increasingly upset is easily the highlight of these outtakes for me. It's such a great fusion of showrunning meets their unique flavour of on-screen chemistry. Also hearing Greg going on about his increasingly dynamic (read: lethal) roundhouse kicks is amazing

[@iamdb1990]

I agree with Victoria's comment, I think Alex is perfect... very weird, but always funny

[@iamdb1990]

disagree with her crumpet comment, though, they need to be softer

[@gamesandfun781]

[@iamdb1990]

@bad1dobby softER, they can have a harder outside crust (for lack of a better word lol) but the middle needs to be foldable (again, for lack of a better way of wording it lol) if you can't fold it, it's overdone, or as I've done all too many times before getting a toaster, full on burnt lol

[@AlwaysBolttheBird]

[@justin.booth.]

The fact that I laughed just as hard at the outtakes as I did the actual show just shows how amazing Taskmaster is. I love how every series has its own dynamic with the cast but also between Greg and Alex, sheer perfection. I mean I get why they cut the flying horseman bit because it runs a bit long but my god I was dying! Here's hoping for a great series 13!

[@IAmSilverlined]

Very appreciative we get these videos! I was laughing the whole time, good fun.

[@halfdragoness8767]

This is one of my favourite outtakes! XD

[@benzaiten933]

Alex is far more sassy than what is shown on regular TM!

[@BethanyLowe8773]

Yes when I've met him he's extremely gallant, charming, and together 💙

[@13strong]

Well, it's his show.

[@emmajean8631]

"Ah, very old..." really surprised me in that sense LOL

[@meezerpleezer]

I feel like he's grown increasingly sassy over time.

[@Thisandthat8908]

it's really weird to actually see, that he's actually in charge and responsible for it. And also that they get along very well despite the sassiness on both sides. I guess the massive success helps.

[@mikey_strange]

The lack of audience gives it a feel of a bunch of friends hanging out together and its still really fun to watch

[@dcworld1076]

the alex wife insult still makes me laugh

[@ujai5271]

I always love outtakes. But they also make me realize how much I miss crowd noise in the studio.

[@VideoNozoki]

"the darker tone" ??? "departure from the wholesomeness of series 11" ??? What are you on about???? - Series 12 was extremely "wholesome" and the guests were extremely supportive of each other; it almost became difficult to think of it as a competition. "incredibly vicious" ??? - You sound like a food critic who has written their review before ever eating at the restaurant.
