Put Something Surprising Inside a Chocolate Egg | Full Task

[@travis303]

I thought it would have been surprising to put an actual egg yolk in a chocolate egg. Who expects to crack open a chocolate egg only to see actual egg yolk?

[@GoggledAgog]

I think you're on to something there. You should sell it around Easter time in a foil wrapper.

[@IsiahTomas]

Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition.

[@EvilAgony1]

I had thought someone would do that but then I wondered if someone would have gotten an air horn and blasted it when he opened the eggg

Alice's was diabolical. But it turns out Alice is very close friends with Alex's wife and the two co-conspired on this task. Alex's wife would be a formidable contestant on Taskmaster, I think.

[@k1rbyguy]

I would have hand written a note telling Alex that he has one hour to hide a surprise in this chocolate egg for me. Then I leave the room. You're in the game now, Alex. Surprised?

[@Andr-Eix]

i'm surprised no one left the egg empty that would've been quite surprising

[@xy2842]

Exactly what I thought hahah

[@MrKeys-tx3jt]

My thought too, however you'd be risking a disqualification as part of the instruction was to put something in the egg.

[@danielfield2570]

My thoughts too, I would have dressed up the outside to make it look tampered with to reveal nothing. Either they would love it or hate it, high risk/reward strategy.

[@robertobryk4989]

Or fill it with chocolate

[@arandomcheese]

Oh, man. I would have been reading the task while eating the egg.

[@DVIs101]

[@mooviies]

I thought the same thing. I probably would have eaten the egg then read the note, and then pikachu face.

[@zoesilver5828]

"Jeremy Irons lives in your garage" never fails to make me snort laugh out loud. No wonder Alex found Liza the most unpredictable contestant

[@kathilisi3019]

I think he was genuinely worried that it might be a bomb, like he wouldn't put it past Liza

The most funny part for me is when Tim said that he creates the television history, but we know that at this point he was just putting a fly inside, it wasn't even a bee 😂 he was so excited by this😂

[@junbh2]

I think a fly would be cool if he hadn't led us to expect a bee.

[@sammoreed]

​@junbh2 for this task it actually would have been better to show the contents of the egg first and then show the planning after, makes it more surprising for the viewers that way

[@Aurora_Animates]

@@junbh2I did not expect a bee haha

[@sophiagecko]

I enjoy that Alex was the one scoring this task

[@UsernameNotTaken2]

I'd be terrible in this show- First thought : crack an egg into it- but everyone might do that Second thought : Volcano- put some baking soda in it- figure out a way trick him into pouring vinigar- gave up due to not figuring out how to slip in the vinigar Third thought : Crap in the egg. After that- I realised I'm not television friendly and don't work well under pressure- thus gave up thinking of ideas

[@Nuadin]

For the vinegar you'd just need to tape it to the top of the egg without it spilling in

[@darknessblades]

The mini-taskmaster letter was genius, I would have done it different, and made a custom task as well.

Liza’s “I just had a coffee” zoomies are so real.

[@TerjeMathisen]

About 30-35 years ago I had bought some jewelry for my wife for Christmas, but I wanted it to be special so I also bought a 3-pack of KinderEggs (which were recently introduced in Norway), then proceeded to open the bottom with a razor blade, then I unwrapped the foil from the central egg, heated the razor blade and used it to split the egg in two along the seam. I then opened the internal plastic egg, took out the toy and replaced it with the jewelry, then put it all back together. I heated the blade once more to be able to make the two chocolate halves bind together again before rewrapping the egg, replacing it in the 3-pack with its two normal brethren and used glue on the bottom. When my wife unpacked the paper wrapping she immediately understood what it was: She opened the KinderEgg box, gave one egg to each of our two kids and kept one for herself, then told them to open them, saying "if you find some jewelry, I'll swap with the toy in mine". I made one more attempt to surprise her for Christmas (a huge white teddy polar bear with a string of pearls deep within the neck fur, with an off-white cashmere scarf for extra neck cover), but that also took just 5 seconds so I decided she didn't deserve any extra packing effort. (We still have the white teddy, our grandson plays with it now.)

To me the most surprising thing was Greg saying let it be so to giving the three contestants joint third. I would have expected him to accuse Alex of being weak and making them all joint fifth and telling them to blame Alex.

What you're missing is freedom. Of speech. Also the freedom for people to decide if their children are smart enough to distinguish between a 3cm diameter plastic toy and chocolate.

[@tomatoeskin3781]

Why was it also my first reaction to put something living in there? I guess that means its not very original, therefor not very suprising. So perhaps I would put in a confession of some sort. Like "I put a bit of peanut butter in Greg Davies shoes. I dont think he noticed."

[@Mudhooks]

The last Christmas before we separated, I gave my husband a Kinder Egg that I had carefully opened, taken the toy out and put a very expensive silver chain inside along with a hand-painted Christmas tag. I rewrapped it in the foil. He opened it and clearly thought it was an actual cheap Kinder toy (that had a hand-painted personally signed by me to him) and tossed it aside. I pointed out that he needed to take a second look. He seemed moderately pleased with it. He gave me a $2.99 mini book about cats… bought from the bookstore I worked at. Apparently, he gave his “girlfriend” (now wife. I didn’t know he HAD a girlfriend, BRW) a very much more expensive gift. By September we were separated. I don’t regret the separation but I really regret the time and effort I put into his gift. I also don’t regret tossing the book he gave me to show how much regard he held for me in the trash.
