DRAMATICALLY Alter Your Appearance | Full Task

[@Aliasalpha]

I still think James was robbed here, I think his difference was the most dramatic. He went in full of confidence (bordering on arrogance) and emerged an utterly broken man, hard to be more different!

[@vonwux]

I think we all felt James' annoyance at being lied to by decades of tv & film on this one

[@Maytricks_Lee_VR]

I have never been in an elevator where there is a button that stops it. Even in movies they remove the panel and fiddle with the wires behind. I would have thought a touring stand up who stays in hotels would realise an alarm is not a break, just as cars do not screech to a halt when you sound the horn. But still a funny clip. However, I challenge anybody on KZbin to name a movie where this trick works... I am more than happy to be proved wrong

[@vonwux]

@@Maytricks_Lee_VR Die hard 2. Thanks.

[@Maytricks_Lee_VR]

​@@vonwuxFair enough.

[@emd476]

It’s a regular bit on NCIS. Need to have a private conversation. Just stop the elevator. I’m sure no one else wanted or needed to use it.

[@RFandomization]

there absolutely are old elevators with a big red STOP switch on them, I used one in Long Beach about 14 years ago, and it would literally just stop the damn thing on the floor it was at, no alarm nothing. We used it to load luggage without having to hold a button or block the door

[@muleorastromule3491]

"There is one thing across this whole series that is unmistakably you, Wang."

[@MrSirViking]

I had the same thought as James. Press the stop button and change and be good. I thought elevators had a stop button. And so did James. But apparently not.

[@xc43t]

Stop buttons in elevators are extra. Building owners rarely order them these days.

[@Thisandthat8908]

@@xc43t it's soemthing else that can break. And there is not really a reason to have one for users.

[@kevinschultz6091]

Yeah, my recollection of stop buttons is that they're locked behind a panel, or need a key or something that only firefighters carry, or something like that. So my idea was to jam the door from closing (ie, just holding my hand to keep it open), then spend a minute or to figuring out the buttons, and if there WAS a stop button, then use that. Of course, that would require that I have 2 separate disguise plans - one for if the elevator could be jammed, and one if it couldn't be. And frankly I probably couldn't think that fast. (Or maybe have a "simple" and "more complex if I have time" disguise that builds on top of the simple one.) But I did get the "check the elevator buttons first!" idea. (Other thought - press Ground, but press the OTHER buttons first.)

[@xc43t]

@@Thisandthat8908 I thought as much. The only reason to have a stop button in an elevator as an end user is for things people should better be doing in privacy of their homes😄

[@dhendable]

MY first thought was that I'd just push ALL the buttons. "Look! A Christmas tree!" lol

[@myguyry]

The absolute best season. You knew every task they were all going to do something insane, but one of them was going to do something REALLY insane.

[@sarahbecauseiam6743]

I completely agree! Best season ever!

[@chrisjones5411]

Series 14 with Dara and Fern is a close second IMO

[@thomasthomasson2319]

The later serieses of TM have fried my brain because on rewatching this I saw the sign saying "When Nothing Goes Right, Go Left" and thought that must be a clue to there being some amazing costumes hidden in the stairway or something, when in reality it's probably just a shit sign

[@thefinalfrontear]

It’s kind of cute when you realize the elevator is to the right of the sign and the stairs are on the left. If nothing goes right (If the elevator is broken), go left (take the stairs)

[@jamesrigby789]

'Old mustard face' Classic Rhod doing classic things That's why this season was the best and it's still is

[@MovieNut14]

I'm scared as to what goes on in Rhod's head most of the time, especially during his time on Taskmaster.

[@letsmakeit110]

the blatant favoritism?

[@critter42]

I think the satsuma rant is the finest moment of the entire series

[@iliketrains3495]

Kerry's timekeeping is abysmal, much like a certain undermined vole

[@Gabu_]

No hutzpah

[@rebekahtablante327]

😂

[@BerkeleyMatthew]

They could have altered their appearance during the five minutes prep time, then when the time starts in the lift they just undo everything and emerge as their normal selves.

[@ALEXANDER1318]

You didn't HAVE to push the G button right away. You could have just waited for the lift doors to close, change and press G when ready to go down. It was not mentioned in the task that you had to press the button right away; pressing it upon entering was just a request by little Alex Horne.

[@josemaria8177]

Rhod getting mustard all over his face was his punishment for all the harm he inflicted on Alex

[@vietnamesefisheatbananas8607]

Every series is fantastic, but Taskmaster really peaked in series 7. The chemistry, the chaos, the outside-the-box thinking. Just perfect television

[@kdpflush]

"You must stop altering you appearance when the doors open again" - Rhod should have been disqualified,

[@insaincaldo]

They let him survive with the pain.

[@Lindalindali]

Phil did jamatically alter his appearance

[@BeaDSM]

Tbf Ol' Mustard Face only put on the face *after* the doors had opened, and Beardy's beard only fell off *after* the doors had opened. So by the rules of the challenge, Beardy was robbed!

[@chainjsvods]

I was looking for someone to point this out lolll

[@cphilips502]

I loved this series. Everyone was great, the tasks were hilarious and the chemistry/funny friction between them all was just brilliant.

[@jkolbly1]

I'm glad someone tried to stop the elevator. If they weren't instructed to press the G button, the best method would have been to just press the door close button and when they were ready press G

[@Dim4323]

James acaster had a plan and it failed.

[@rebekahtablante327]

Did he ever explain what look he would have done, if he had succeeded?

[@Robyamdam]

that's a good summary of his time on taskmaster

[@ryanschwartz4959]

Honestly, if James' goal was to stop the lift to give himself more time, he probably could've tried to force the interior doors open between floors, stopping the lift that way

[@DJCube1701]

Opening the doors means that you have to stop altering your appearance.

[@nii_amart]

This was the best series ever.

[@apeekintime]

Maybe my favorite season of Taskmaster. If not the tops, easily a top 3

[@Im__Your__Huckleberry]

I disagree with Rhod winning cause it was suppose to be their look when the doors open and at that point he wasn't wearing mustard or sunglasses and Jess was wearing the beard.

[@Lymsley]

I often agree with Greg’s overall scoring… but disagree, absolutely, with Rhod winning this one. In retrospect, Greg likely earned James’ tirade about favouratism.

[@valenz1234]

Who would you have win? His was the best

[@spikemurphy5054]

@@valenz1234 I agree with this person because Rhod literally only started putting mustard on his face after the lift door opening, even though you weren’t allowed to alter appearance when the door opened.

[@mutantraniE]

@@valenz1234 Rhod should have been disqualified for continuing to alter his appearance after the doors opened. The mustard and the sunglasses went on his face after the doors opened. All he did was take off his clothes. Kerry should have won.

[@Didi_A_Gogo]

James and Kerry don't get to keep putting on their costumes after the elevator opens, but Rhod who was in his underwear and a wig when the doors opened still gets scored on the mustard and glasses? It's good to be friends with the Taskmaster.

[@SgtSupaman]

They stopped themselves. Sometimes it pays to bend the rules.

[@tonyblake7569]

Glad he tried the emergency stop button. They had until the doors opened again, not a set time. That's the first thing I thought of.

[@Olothur]

I am still amazed nobody tried to push all the other floor buttons after pressing G. Most lifts I was into will listen to the input and open the doors on the highlighted floors even after they already begin to move.

[@srivijaya9520]

There aren't any other floors in between.

[@billyeveryteen7328]

They were on the first/second floor, meaning the one right above G/the lobby. That's why it only took roughly eighteen seconds to get from their floor to the ground floor.

[@nritsch]

Could’ve been a building with only two floors.

[@catprog]

Also the door would open on the floor anyway.

[@StanleyFlinn]

This is going to go down in history as the absolute worst episode I could have picked when we were visiting inlaws and my wife casually said "Oh have you guys seen Taskmaster it's really funny?"

[@Girl95szia]

Somehow wout context and no british pop culture knowledge it's more of a miss than a hit in my experience. There needs to be a specific kind of audience. :/

[@petermurphy9860]

2:15 I really thought Greg was going to slap Alex there

[@adammullarkey4996]

Ah, yes, the lift emergency button, famously designed to trap you in the lift after pressing it.

[@IguanaAssassin]

I kinda wish they had let Kerrie finish her outfit.

[@kdpflush]

Why not, they let Rhod finish his!

[@Jasmohan]

I think the beard falling off was more dramatic than mustard face

[@Lexoan1]

I think they all missed a trick for this one: take the props out of the case and use the case to stop the doors from closing completely. Take as much time as you want and then remove the case and travel to the ground floor.

[@jumnyum]

sounds like a hazard lol

[@antonliakhovitch8306]

Time starts when the doors close. If the doors don't close, the time doesn't start.

[@maltava4534]

The rules are that you can start altering your appearance when inside the elevators and the doors are closed but you are on the right track. Just get in the elevator and don't press the floor button. The doors will close and when you finish changing then hit "G".

[@rachelcookie321]

In my primary school we had this lift that was just like a moving floor instead of a whole moving room. Me and my friend were going up in the lift one day when her shoe got stuck in between the floor and the wall. I pressed the emergency button and the lift did stop. Then I went down, her shoe got released, and then we went up again. So I don’t think James was crazy for assuming it would stop.

[@TheParklifeChoseMe]

an emergency stop button should stop the lift...

[@Daydenne]

Rhod Gilbert on this show might be my favourite thing ever

[@bloodybaronesse]

James has one of the most beautiful smiles I have ever seen. But, I wouldn't be so foolish as to rate it.

[@emercycrite]

06:12 Rhod is such a HUNK

[@UKcuber]

I'd have pressed 1 and then G. taken the jam and left it on the floor getting out a floor above.

[@lhfirex]

A 1 point effort in S7 is a 5 point effort in most other series.

[@elisewilliams1575]

I had the same idea to take my clothes off and smear mustard on my face. Also totally overlooked the mayo. Seems obvious now.

[@a_921]

Hmmm. If he had pressed the "close doors" button, would that have kept them from opening? Or would they open first and then close again?

[@LearningProbably]

I think a lot of people in all these different challenges would usually do immensely different things than one another. In this case though, I strongly believe like 90% of humanity would've tried the same thing as James lol.

[@TsarofTrolling]

The task letter doesn't seem to mention that the elevator has to be moving. They could've just entered the elevator and waited for the doors to close.

[@altsadhara]

Alex is the show runner; completely ignoring when he says "Press 'G', please" isn't a great strategy unfortunately.

Rhod did not have mustard on his face when he went into the elevator.

Or when the doors opened.

Rhod… Where others hear a different drum, he hears a different orchestra. My oldest friend’s husband had the same cancer that Rhod has. Rhod was treated at Velindre, the cancer centre that he has raised so much money for. May he win every battle he faces. Wales is very proud of him.
