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.

Honestly, Iain's development over the series; from a man who was so cock-sure, to a man who was beaten down by his own arrogance, is truly the best character progression I've ever seen.

[@Dribbleondo]

He never really liked himself in the recorded tasks, even in Episode 2 everyone, including Iain, were making fun of how arrogant he was.

[@oldvlognewtricks]

@@DribbleondoThe joy of the tasks being pre-recorded: there’s no way to change tack when you find out how your approach reads on camera.

[@janeeyre1990]

Hamartia! From ancient Greek and adopted by Shakespeare. Mistranslated as a "fatal flaw." But, more accurately, a STRENGTH that becomes someone's UNDOING in the right context.

[@truthwillout2371]

Yeah he actually comes across as a vile human being at times in the beginning.

[@Pagliacci_Rex]

It's the sign of a good person to recognize it and change your behavior. A lot of people never get their behavior challenged so don't know that they're coming off like a jerk.

[@lamwingsum9532]

Lou going "oh is it me again?" and does a cartwheel? honestly that's the vibe we are going for

[@okokitsme]

...and then sitting down with too much momentum and almost falling off her chair! Love her exhilarated face after the cartwheel 😍

[@nothingtoseehere2336]

No. That's why it was cut.

[@shirleykibbie5149]

What a miserable person comments like that

[@janeeyre1990]

​@@okokitsme, as an ADHDer with dyspraxia (neurological coordination disorder), she is one of my people.

[@janeeyre1990]

​@@okokitsme, to clarify, I am saying that I see ADHD / neurodivergent traits in her. I don't know anything about her health / medical history or how she identifies. In contrast to the many openly ADHD British comedians: - Stephen Fry - Rhod Gilbert - Russel Howard - Sue Perkins - Kiri Pritchard-McClean - Lee Mack - Johnny Vegas

[@belindawilliams2903]

Iain randomly shouting "daddy!" in one episode makes a little more sense now 😂

[@felipemaldonado8028]

' sorry I've run out of effort' lol

[@Theoldzitterhand]

I'm absolutely going to use that from now on... :D

[@jackwang9536]

I'm still wondering if Alex has recovered from Lou signing him up for all those crazy classes and subscriptions and cults...

[@FountainOfYoot]

The segment of Alex's lack of shouting brought me to tears

[@namenamename390]

11:17 "If he shouted in a cave there wouldn't be an echo" Potentially one of the hardest roasts of Alex that didn't come from Greg

[@comedyplate]

You have to be joking. How is that even a roast, never mind a hard roast?

[@Ms14787]

@@comedyplate right??

[@bee4590]

@@comedyplateIt doesn’t have to make sense to be weirdly insulting

[@djvWOODSTOCK]

They legitimately cut out so much of Iain's best stuff.

[@MontyMonferno]

it’s amazing how often Iain mispronounces words on this show, it’s not just sangwich, but also clrisps, chuutney, and alternatehly, it’s adorable

[@cyberwomble7524]

I too am very much on the "g" side in the sandwich pronunciation department. But then again, like Alex, I also am a cock.

[@kathilisi3019]

Some of it is just his accent, but in this context it was pretty hilarious when he says "I didn't do it on porpoise"

[@nucl3ar_snake]

@@cyberwomble7524 It's interesting 'cause in Spanish we call them "sanguches". Well, I say "interesting"...

Fern too. "Land loeur roll in the loeur"

[@Phil_Cleaver]

“I don’t do it on porpoise” 9:26 Greg and Alex missed that one.

[@gordondouglas2971]

I love that Paul sang. Seems very unlike him.

[@who_Is_faten_helmi]

And it sounded lovely, he was enjoying it .

[@lawrencecalablaster568]

He’s a Lovely Boy!

[@marmarballz]

I love these! Seeing Alex get super embarrassed saying the best thing he held...😂 Iain is really hilarious with the "Daddy" bit

[@47Jaspers]

Lou singing sounded exactly like I expected it to sound.

[@sfshinz]

I am shocked Greg didn’t dock them any points

[@danielguy3581]

Truly a season of self discovery for iain

[@maxwell_edison]

Taskmaster would be beloved as a livestream with no cuts

[@gianabakanos9131]

‘i bet if he shouted in a cave there wouldn’t be an echo’ oh little alex horne

[@zyaicob]

"Is it me again?" *Cartwheel* Lou is just the best ever 1:58

[@ebonyonce]

Greg is just so fond of Iain

[@brendanberry7403]

Kind of funny to see Joe absolutely losing it because he seemed so stiff the whole time.

[@petesmart1983]

He has Autism so he's comes off very different

[@otter011]

@@petesmart1983agree to disagree, I think he fits in very well with the rest of the squad and if you hadn’t told me, I wouldn’t have known

[@MuscleFlexChris]

“THE COUNCIL WILL HEAR ABOUT THIS!” 😂

[@FangToh]

The sexual tension between Iain and Greg was palpable! 😂

[@Tonyhouse1168]

Joe Thomas is Arthur Dent.

[@kirnpu]

I can't get enough of this show and these outtakes are just the icing on the cake!!!

[@brinsonopinion]

I wonder if my neighbors can hear me cackle when I watch these videos LMAO! I can't tell you the joy & excitement your notifications bring me every time ❤

[@echognomecal6742]

Yes. Yes we can & we're enjoying it thoroughly. Now do a cartwheel.

[@johndenverfan]

Greg & Alex Are Brilliant

[@russianbot7875]

John my friend doesn't deserve to be outtake

[@valerielevasseur8674]

That bit has me incapacitated. I may have to call in Alex Horned to work tomorrow.

[@erinford8138]

John Robbins? S17?

[@lunaslove2871]

I think Greg is really good at being an asshole while just having one asshole. Two bungholes in the task master would just be too much for any of us to handle. Seriously Greg… learn to master your power don’t abuse it.

[@Irfanhill]

I did not expect a cartwheel!

[@FishReallySucks]

"i didnt do it on porpoise" 🤔

[@shirleykibbie5149]

The shouting with Alex had me crying😂😂

[@anumeon]

I can never tire of these outtakes.. I love them soo much.. Thank you Taskmaster. :)

[@DatDenDude]

Alex looks genuinely upset when Iain goes to sit on Greg’s lap😂

[@spencers4092]

"J-jjoooooohnnn, my friend" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@GreyPajamas]

The bit at 3:14 kills me 😂

[@amberdawn5372]

Iain still says sangwich, and it’s even more jarring to hear it during an episode of the US love island 😂

[@just-tess]

Iain proves Larry Dean's contention that a Scottish accent turns what you say into a threat

[@darkchocolate5494]

finally, bloopers for my favourite series!!

[@qwertyTRiG]

Why was that first story addressed to Sian?

[@storageheater]

I don't know but somehow Sian's "trying very hard to look interested" face made it so much funnier to me

[@Baffies78]

Mocks him for saying sangwich, turns to alex and asks "how do you say samwich?" It's probably just local dilect

[@user-gs1dz1yc8e]

i love this show alex

[@nefwaenre]

i miss Joe, i love him so much!!

[@kischtrine]

Is it just me or is something wrong with the audio at some point?

Around 6:22 it gets out of sync with the video

[@bondfool]

It desynchronizes after Jooooohn... my friend.

[@kcolloran]

Nope, that's actually what Alex shouting sounds like. ;)

[@subberfischer]

There currently is no new Taskmaster I have re-watched all the old Taskmaster with the podcast Why is life

[@BlueManIan]

Have you seen any of the international versions?

[@subberfischer]

@@BlueManIan Well New Zealand has JUST appeared on Channel 4, as I was moaning!

Lou Sanders seems fun. A blurry weekend with Lou that neither of us quite remembers may be my new goal in life.

[@philyates7670]

Throw Morgana in for extra fun!!!

[@LawTaranis]

Some of these are funnier than the rest of the show. 😂😂😂 I could watch these outtakes for ages.

This should be on the show

Yeh it does

[@MrBrownnn696]

Lmfao omg Alex I can’t either

[@PhaTs00p]

Just gonna stroke my gog and feed the gucks.

[@davem6749]

He shouldn't call it it a sandwich or a sangwich he should be calling it a piece.

[@petgoose32]

*blatantly taken from Vega Lupina comments* Greg: "How dare you say sangwich? Anyway, Alex, how do you say samwich?"

[@Neverod8doreveN]

I dont think he was thinking about pooping with the idea of two bumholes.

Ah...a pooper blooper! :D

[@subbtopp]

Thats all very Dark.

[@Arcona]

If you could do this without a chunk of it being out of sync, that would be great.

[@IncompetentEarl]

Alex 100% has Asperger's

[@bigbird2451]

The proper pronunciation on Sandwich involves neither the letter D not G. San Witch will do fine. Sammy for sort and who can resist a Sarney?

[@guyjackson132]

Or a sammich...

[@janeeyre1990]

[TW: injury, gore, gross] As a disabled person who only socializes with other disabled people (for my own safety and mental health): Greg: if you get a wound on your bottom, it can look like a second bumhole while it is healing. I know another AuDHDer who has an open wound hole by their real hole, and they love it. Weird brains, weird bodies. ❤

[@GroovingPict]

I love Lou's legs and I love that she loves to show them off

[@thebookofsand]

it's a silly game show and i do not really take the scores seriously any other season but lou must have sucked so much dicl to win this. mae martin was also carried pretty hard but i doubt she'd slobber knobs to win and they just were trying to handle ms fancy not like other girls with kid gloves.

[@tommatthews7982]

Worst series by far. But some how still funny 😂

[@VideoNozoki]

I can see why these were cut. I guess they can't _all_ be interesting.

[@goliath_red1102]

Season 8 is probably the worst season.

[@nickgir]

Weakest cast by far. Joe never said a word.
