Taskmaster Australia Series 1, Episode 5 - 'Are you okay?' | Full Episode

[@meganc60]

For some reason Tom stretching in increasingly weird poses while saying “No” to Danielle makes the task even funnier.

[@jennatodd4664]

Danielle’s attempt at the passwords is going straight into my "tasks I would pay to see uncut" folder 😂

[@nolananderson4782]

Hope you've got a spare six hours

[@gingeridot]

I love that Tom just had tears streaming down his face at the end of Danielle's go

[@shanedbunting]

So did I . That was the hardest I have ever laughed at a task, full stop. I just wish I knew the number of guesses Danielle had before she got to V , X and Z. 😂😂

[@maximw9362]

@@shanedbuntingshe seemed to be getting through so well - with no system whatsoever😂

[@DanDanDoe]

The tears and the perfect lightning made it such a beautiful moment... But then also with Taskmaster music in the background and knowing that the tears were just because of a puzzle with the alphabet just made it one of the best moments in all of TM history.

[@womiko3993]

And I would love to watch the unedited version of her whole try! xD

[@xipheonj]

I don't think I've ever seen a Taskmaster's Assistant have as much fun during a task as this password task.

[@christopherlittle4975]

Alex Horne being ruthless to Sophie Duker in CoC III might be the only other time

[@klandgraf6956]

This was the hardest a task has ever made me laugh

[@AcrosArchive]

The password task is my favorite task in TM AU so far. Danielle is officially a legend.

[@DrewDawkins]

Danielle and Lesser Tom both experiencing all emotions together after she figured it out. A powerful moment.

[@cyanmanta]

David Ha of TM Minnesota agrees with you because he modified this task for use on his show.

[@thexbigxgreen]

Far out man!

[@EvaDuss]

can't wait to see her in champion of champions

[@octoberwho]

I think it could be a top 10 task across all TM versions

[@jurriendevries]

I was fully expecting Danielle and Tom to hug at the end of the password task, it felt like they'd gone through something.

[@indigocarra2762]

So was I!

[@galaxa13]

Seeing Lesser Tom start crying is the funniest thing I've seen today.

[@xingcat]

The password task is one of the best moments of any Taskmaster task in any of the variations of this series Just brilliant how far it went and how much it pushed both Tom and Danielle.

[@stevqtalent]

i love how the best one in that task still took 120+ guesses. you'd think someone would hear the number 26 and try for the alphabet, but this just goes to show again how this game fucks with contestants heads.

[@gordondouglas2971]

I absolutely adore Nina. It's also amazing when she isn't the worst at a task. Tom Gleeson takes to the Taskmaster role a lot more naturally than Jeremy Wells, and I love Tom Cashman being constantly on the verge of giggling.

[@seameus91]

Tom is way better then Jeremy, agreed.

[@chloroformcowboy2162]

Is Jeremy the person in the NZ version? If so, I greatly greatly agree. That version was maybe the first & only non-original version I've tried (other than the excellent US version that introduced me to TM) and I stopped watching it after the first or second episode. Didn't seem really worth watching; like you say, the hosts didn't fit the bill, but also with the contestants many just felt like fans of the original show meta-referencing the original and trying perform optimally (rather than creatively) while apparently knowingly not taking part of “the real show”. Probably tough to replicate in such a small country / pool of people.

[@elisabethcait2948]

I wouldnt recommend starting watching Taskmaster NZ with Series 1. They took a while to find their footing and i started out enjoying neither the host nor the contestants. Then i started Series 2 and WOW. Everything just fits so much better. Jeremy Wells found his style as a taskmaster, and not neccesarily as a carbon copy of greg. So yeah, give Series 2 another chance and if you still dont feel it, thats completely fine.@@chloroformcowboy2162

[@GraionDilach]

@@chloroformcowboy2162 Nah, the contestants are fine on NZ. It was only S1 which had a weak roster. S2 onwards it found it's foot.

[@LessDevoid]

​@@GraionDilach Yeah, the contestants past S1 were really solid. Their Taskmaster has always been a weak point but, apparently, that's due largely to editing. All the banter between Jeremy and the contestants is left on the cutting room floor while the tasks themselves are a little too drawn out.

[@luciahoneybee]

I can't believe Jimmy moved two whole ass bookshelves just to place them _by_ the popcorn and not block the doors with them 🤦🏻‍♀️

[@briggbe1]

Tom aaaaalmost losing it on Danials right up until the end. Fantastic

[@benzaiten933]

Tom gave Danielle so many hints as well!

[@nohandle508]

I couldn't believe what I saw 😂

[@nicolediablo]

out of all the taskmasters episodes i’ve watched the rose/password task has to be the best task ever. and tom crying at the end of danielle’s turn is the greatest thing ever. 😂😂

[@Eddiember]

The Password Task is one of my favourite tasks in all Taskmaster, so much so I have used it in my D&D games as a puzzle, three times. Such a simple concept as long as you do not point out how many roses there are. And even when they say how many roses there are, it took so long.

[@enisra_bowman]

i think you could lift a lot of Taskmaster as P&P Puzzle, even what the task says and not or "maybe look under the Table"

[@slimcourage901]

Danielle proved that even pointing out the number of roses doesn't necessarily help.

[@pooolB]

Using taskmaster tasks as d&d puzzles is a genius idea omg

[@tihinen92]

The little noises Luke makes after most sentences make me laugh everytime and I don't really know why

[@curioushoodie]

That noise just screams "I made a joke and I am not sure if it landed so just gonna try to act cool" which is incredibly relatable.

[@neithere]

I hear "my god why did I say something aloud again" in them

[@makebreakrepeat]

Alex Horne would've ate the popcorn.

[@rkah6187]

Yes, that would not have stopped him. They were lucky Tom is not *that* determined.

[@mxmschae]

It's not fair to other people to be compared to Alex 😂

[@sigasaurusrex]

Paul would've too...maybe

[@whitetrash8613]

The toilet water one, sure, but the raw egg one I'm not so sure, that would have been health-legally dangerous

[@giabarrone7422]

One of the UK tasks was to eat a raw egg.

6:42 - They did this task on the current season (8) of Bast i Test (Sweden). The TM assistant in that one did things that Tom definitely would not do, including eating a wet piece of popcorn that a contestant claimed had been urinated on, and one that had definitely been doused in ethanol.

I love how when the bad improv group finally gets the giraffe in the giraffe in the bath and Tom blows the whistle, you can see them react instinctively thinking "What went wrong this time???"

[@redgreen82]

I was thinking this is my favorite first season of Taskmaster (over UK & NZ), but yeah, it might actually be much better than that.

[@bendystrawz2832]

I feel like Tom has learned: next time he makes a task where he has to eat something, add a second envelope where the contestant has to eat it, too.

I've seen every episode of Taskmaster (the original UK version) I've watched TM New Zealand and now the first 5 episodes of TM Australia.........the rose task is, in my opinion, the single most brilliant task of all of them. It was GENIUS!!!!!!!

[@blackvulture7999]

I could barely contain my laughter throughout the all episode, thank you.

[@Sheer_Falacy]

I feel like Greg would have been disappointed if his assistant didn't eat the disgusting popcorn. And I also feel like he wouldn't have to because Alex would have eaten it. This isn't a value judgement, just a suspicion.

[@ApatheticEyebrowRaise]

I can't explain the amount of joy I had during this episode. What a great cast of comedians.

Any time you have 26 things, you have to suspect alphabet.

[@valerielevasseur8674]

[@ByMonitorLight]

In every series of Taskmaster I've watched - 21 between UK and NZ - there has been at least one genius contestant, at least one consistent imbecile, and an ebb and flow of inspiration from the rest. That makes series 1 of Taskmaster AU unique. I feel it would be mean to elaborate further.

Kudos to lesser Tom on posting Danielle's password journey on his page, so I was already ready for it, but I didn't realize they were all pretty awful at it. Also, it's the halfway point and I now kind of like how Mr. Cashman is different in his style compared to Alex and even Paul Williams

[@shanedbunting]

So... Ive seen all of taskmaster that is currently avaible on KZbin as i began to watch this episode. I only just now realized that in the openings the Taskmaster is meant to be shown writing the tasks at the typewriter. Itbhas bever occured to me before because they pull out paper from the typewriter not cardstock , and i have always known it was Alex who created the show and is the pulsating brain behind it all.

The popcorn task, my first thought was a laundry basket and duct tape.

[@ryanschwartz4959]

17:01 I imagine if that task gets adapted for the British version, they're gonna change the task requirement to "Most roses picked up wins" and add a time limit, while removing the requirement to put them in the vase. Else they risk someone's attempt taking as long as Danielle's

[@MorningDusk7734]

alright, Popcorn task instincts: pour a bowl of water into the popcorn and mash it around until it's a slurry, add blue food coloring until it looks like drain cleaner was added, then place a half bottle of drain cleaner next to it and leave a note on the container that says "Tom, DO NOT EAT, I'm serious! I actually, literally poured drain cleaner in here, you will get sick and possibly die if you eat this!" (I want to emphasize how much I did NOT actually put drain cleaner in the popcorn, it's still perfectly edible, but I will try to dissuade him as much as possible by bluffing that there is genuinely drain cleaner in with the popcorn).

[@MorningDusk7734]

It's an impenetrable defense of the Haunted House Bluff: something is perceived as dangerous despite the underlaying safety measures in place, such as the rule about not attacking Tom and the cameramen who would prevent me from doing anything obviously dangerous to him like poisoning him.

[@MorningDusk7734]

After watching, I'm glad I'm not alone in the idea of making the popcorn revolting or even dangerous to eat!
