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.

[@unluckymarch2589]

him thinking he'd have beef with James is so funny

[@bloomp9676]

This gave me secondhand embarrassment for some reason 😭

[@Butterratbee]

@@bloomp9676 good for you

[@marshlopez1838]

Fun fact: Before taskmaster, his name was just "Phil"

[@panicatthegasstation]

His testicular fortitude must be the most impressive thing this show's ever witnessed.

[@js0988]

I think he needs to change his name to No Wang after this.

[@Saraseeksthompson0211]

Bahaha best comment. Seriously his junk was just there the whole time

[@TheHutchy01]

You can tell it wasn't winter when it was his tasks

[@Saltywinterchild]

You gotta admire Wang's confidence, though. I'd be slightly terrified of anyone who has the courage to wear that on national television, in a show that famously requires a lot of running and jumping about.

[@peterparker6669]

"This is Bruce Lee's Game of Death suit!"

[@Bandonian93]

It was more a lack of awareness. It was only near the end of shooting that Rhod and James pointed it out.

[@Butterratbee]

@@Bandonian93 That’s definitely not true

[@Bandonian93]

He literally said this in an interview. So yes, it is true.

[@youtube-kit9450]

Literally true. He never noticed how obvious the bulge was until Rhod and James pointed it out. You can even see him making an effort to hide it in the (last filmed) team tasks after it was pointed out.@@Butterratbee

[@kdpflush]

I don't think Alex gets enough credit for his one liners, we need a compilation of those.

[@JonasHamill]

The whole show is Alex's. He comes up with all the tasks etc. He purposely takes a back seat

[@nommyyt]

@@JonasHamill Everyone knows it's Alex's show. That's not the point. A compilation of his one-liners would be nice.

[@meganpopple9100]

Absotuduluduly, we do.

[@JonasHamill]

@@nommyyt No need to sas me. Try developing a theory of mind. Just because you know something doesn't mean everyone else does. I added a friendly contribution to a comment on a show we all clearly enjoy. There was no need to take it to rude jabs.

[@w.6874]

The thing is that Alex makes all the compilations so he probably won't do one for himself 😂so someone somewhere should

[@Yaheli102]

Can't believe "A LIME!" isn't in this video

[@martinmaguire-music6692]

It's not? I wish there was a button to dislike, but not as strong as the actual dislike button :/ A man can dream....

[@keanee]

I quote this iconic line on most days.

[@gracelandsux]

Keane me too, i quote far too much taskmaster to people who have no clue what i'm on about

[@janeeyre1990]

Gosh darnit, I specifically searched for "Taskmaster lime." 😡

[@cameronmacones1333]

Phil got absolutely shafted in the judgments.

[@olscratch74]

Eh... yes and no.

[@jenelaina5665]

@@olscratch74 yeah he did kinda earn most of em. Even he said in the finale something like "finally being shite at most tasks meant I was good at this one" 🚨

[@andreaskarlsson5251]

IMO he was pretty dumb in a lot if not most tasks. :P And not so funny either tbh, most of the times I laughed when he was involved was when he was the punchline. xD

[@SennaAugustus]

He was last for pretty much every timed task, so that's his own responsibility.

[@innasfaidz]

every season they pin someone down as 'the shit one' and Greg chose Phil and he completely played up the part with the scoring :/ which sucks because Phil genuinely did pretty ok most of the time

[@bobidou23]

I wouldn't describe any of these as his best moments? People have mentioned A LIME! and the hula hoop, "This is my best noise" (and the story he told about waking up) was iconic, "This confusing.... little box!" (And I haggled for it!), nailing the 31.770kg task on one go, nailing the pairs of glasses, the classic video game...

[@paulwilson2677]

Incredibly disappointed this isn’t just ten minutes of the hula hoop close up

[@Luigiman-rc9fi]

Dissapointed it wasn't 10 hours of the Wang gif.

[@steved8193]

"Is there a penalty for saying my name too many times?" "No, no." "Ah, Phil Wang! Philly Philly Wang! Phil, Phil Wang! Philip Wang!"

[@olscratch74]

This video should have come out on April 1st. And it should have been nothing but each instance of Phil telling his haggling joke.

[@nommyyt]

The first time he told that joke I thought it was hilarious. The second time... still kind of funny. Then 8 more times? God I hate that fucking joke.

[@swanningabout]

@@nommyyt wasn't funny once

[@KeyboardAttacker]

@@nommyyt that's the joke!!

[@Tom-gt4vc]

If I blink really fast looking at a light I see i Phil wangs yellow package haunting me

[@echoraze2849]

fucking damnit, i laughed harder at that haunting vision than at the video xD

[@Phil_Tutty]

The pendulum draws the eye.

[@friedrichwilhelmvonsteuben7952]

they do a Champion of Champions but why not a Champion of Losers? get all the contestants who finished dead last together for a special

[@neversaw]

Please yes, usually the most chaotic ones

[@maxkane1684]

Imagine Phil Wang and Katherine Parkinson in a room together oh my god 😂😂😂

[@Mazurecki56]

According to Alex: because a Champion of Losers episode would incentivize the contestants to perform poorly on purpose so that they're dead last, which is undesirable in a TV series. The Taskmaster wants them to perform well during the tasks.

[@stephendavis6267]

The most unfairly judged contestant in Taskmaster history. Phil consistently got shat upon for really no real reason to an almost mean-spirited degree, and while I think Greg really was just doing it for the humor value, he didn't realize that those weeks piled up and put Phil in an unreasonably low position. I don't think he should've won or anything, but he deserved better than what he got. Justice for the Wang!

[@MisterAppleEsq]

Hugh Dennis is up there for unfair judgment too.

[@aishwaryajaipuriar9038]

Same with Mark Watson and James Acaster

[@painteater]

Agreed

[@angelhelen84]

Hugh Dennis too.

[@kelzuya]

He usually has someone to pick on each season.

[@TheRealConcertKing]

I'd like a supercut of James going through doorways with a flourish.

[@AmarHujan]

What does Phil Wang have down his pants? A LIME!

[@imtheonewhobroughtthebeans915]

When you see that Taskmaster notification- everything stops, this is my life now.

[@olih322]

The dong that collectively shocked everyone's mothers simultaneously

[@evanconway7051]

This was such a great lineup. Even the “worst” contestant was hilarious. And his highlight reel also contains funny bits from everyone else! You just can’t contain the brilliance that is Taskmaster Series 7

[@BananePuddin]

Wanguishing.

[@Jennyfisch]

"3:06" After that panicked "H...h..." I was fully expecting Alex to say "Hippo."

[@Pagliacci_Rex]

I love how he just goes at his own pace.

[@charod8423]

WANG DESERVED BETTER!!!

[@Walperion_Music]

6:46 - Oh god that Wang's wang at Alex's face level was so confronting! Weird that it made Alex more relaxed.

[@pemo2676]

I think everyone on and off the show agrees that they stared at his junk for most of his time on it.

[@gamerman782]

No matter how impressive the grandfather clock is, you can't stop staring at the pendulum.

my reaction to seeing a best of Phil Wang is the same as his reaction to seeing video games

Phil's wang was the real "taskmaster" this season, oh boy

[@grandmofftarkin6961]

It makes me sad that he was so unhappy with his experience

[@nommyyt]

Because Greg picked on him?

[@harrysmith2350]

Where did he say he was unhappy?

[@WarioJim]

There's a reddit post with tweets if you're interested (it's around 2 years old). It's quite possible that he was joking to some extent though. www.reddit.com/r/panelshow/comments/9vy0f0/phil_wang_not_happy_with_taskmaster/

[@jankbunky4279]

Was he truly unhappy with it? Did he actually say so and meant it?

[@doctorsuave]

Jank Bunky I do think so. He was kind of shat on the entire time, and apparently that was totally unexpected for him. He felt Greg was incredibly biased towards people he’s closer to, and that he was unfairly picked to be the dumb guy. A lot of his ideas were solid, but Greg dismissed them off hand and sassed his ass. Still...best show on TV/KZbin!
