The Wow Monster has Greg in TEARS of Laughter | Taskmaster

[@thewolfman6460]

From Alan's Wow Monster, to Alex's complete befuddlement over Guz's noise, to Victoria trying to pull off the high IQ plays but getting caught every. single. time. This is truly one of the best final tasks of the series.

[@InWitheNew]

Victoria's first play wasnt caught lol

[@jenniferhanses7064]

This may actually be the best final task of all time. I mean, I'd have to watch them all over again, but it's really hard to top this just because everyone seems to be having the best time ever.

[@EmergencyInductionPort]

@@jenniferhanses7064 and this is only what we see of it. Can you imagine how much time they must have had to cut out from them cracking up at each other 😂😂

[@tiamta]

vicotria was too smart. greg realizing that the sounds was smart realized only one person is smart enough to do it meaning it had to be victoria

[@Dzokhar]

It's important to remember Alex is wearing a tail when he makes that face at Guz. It makes it so much better.

[@Jennyfisch]

I love how seriously Alan considers his monster noise at 5:07 only then to walk out on the stage and yell "Wow"

[@nunyanunya4147]

he IMMEDIATELY realized how shit it was too

Wow Monster just overshadowed the Sexy RRRRrrrrr Monster, but honestly how did that get left unchecked 😂

[@ilikeexxs]

I promise it just got cut out of the show cause no way he got off scot free with that shit hahah

[@ScrambledAndBenedict]

I think the funniest part is Morgana absolutely dying, out of focus in the background, when Greg thought Guz's weird purring and hentai moan was her lmfao

[@Lineman72T]

The split second look of confusion followed by unrestrained laughter by Alex at 7:04 gets me every time

[@TheYuvimon]

It's like he's saying "What?" with his face :D

[@Rosalind-butNotThatOne]

Every time I watch this video (which is often), I go back to watch both the wow monster and Guz's monster again in slow motion so I can properly appreciate everyone's reactions. I highly recommend it. You can really appreciate the rapid progression from shock to bafflement to delighted laughter on Alex's face.

[@makaveliuk86]

I like how it's a nearly identical series of facial expressions to the ones Rob Brydon displayed on WILTY when David Mitchell explains the distinction between putting milk in coffee and putting coffee in milk with “like the distinction between having a glass of water and going swimming”.

@@Rosalind-butNotThatOne it is labelled as the *most replayed* section, partly you but also definitely because of this comment :') congrats!!

[@elle-24]

Genuinely one of the greatest live tasks of all time. The wow monster managed to eclipse several other hilarious things happening such as Guz's monster noise, the fart noises as Alan was beatboxing, Greg catching Victoria AND Morgana's attempts at mind games, and Little Alex Horne just wearing a tail that kept swinging around because he was also laughing so hard. This series was incredible.

[@acting125]

one of my favorite parts of this video is when Greg is turning the chair and Alan says "imagine him parking." actually so funny to me.

I love when you can believe this whole show is put together to amuse him

[@LadyCafwenSnape]

That's what Alex said 😉

[@TonyTheYouTuba]

It doesn’t matter how much I know exactly what is coming. It doesn’t matter how many times I rewind to watch it again. The wow monster makes me cry with laughter every time. It’s a combination of the sound, the visuals of Alan and the other reactions. Just a golden moment.

This is one of the moments I wish they had other camera angles as well. Id love to have seen the other contestants reactions closer-up.

[@UnorthodoxSoundwave.]

I know this video is about the Wow Monster, which is fair, but I feel like some attention should be given to Morgana nearly falling over when accused of making Gus' moaning noise

[@redelfshotthefood8213]

Yes. The reactions -in silence-are precious. They really sell the humour.

[@Smashedhiskeyboardupinthewoods]

The noise he made reminds me of the noise I make every time I see morgana anyways 🤷

[@jennifertheiss9472]

I love how sad Greg is at the last reveal before Alex says he got Victoria right, and then how immediately happy he is. Shows he really meant it 😂.

[@mrianwonder6527]

The bit where Victoria came around from behind Desire' and stomped her way in, and Desire' had to remain silent, and none of it worked, was absolute genius.

[@riverliu2976]

Alan being Alan in every round. It's fucking amazing.

[@josephbody8484]

I love as Alan starts his noise; even he isn’t sure where it’s going…

[@flippetskater]

The 'interaction' between Greg and Victoria in this task (and the series, honestly) is one of my favorite things. Victoria is so adorable, because it's like she doesn't know how obvious she really is. She's SO smart, but she's not cryptic. At all. 😂Greg can read her like a book, and it's hilarious, because there's nothing she can do about it. 🥰

[@LeoSpaceman69]

Especially given that's she's famously such a good poker player, but TM really wasnt her strong suit :D

[@R.J._Lewis]

I love when such obviously brilliant, kind, funny people get reminded that outside of their wheelhouse, they're just like the rest of us! Big ups to VCM, she was a great sport and hilarious throughout, especially learning to ride a bike on the fly, but it was so good to see her out of her element!

[@josephsherby]

Her problem is that she’s too clever. Greg knows that whenever someone is trying to be clever, it’ll be Victoria.

[@SebHaarfagre]

@@R.J._Lewis Just like the rest of us besides being brilliant, kind and funny :]

[@apb3251]

As Greg was a teacher he would have experienced smart kids who didn’t know how obvious they were and punk kids who could outwit him

[@alicesilverlocks696]

The framing at 5:19 with Victoria in the background and Greg slightly out of focus, both focused like their fates depend on it, is brilliant. Poetic television

[@SarahHeartzUnicorns]

I like the way they silently look punched in the gut when they’re incorrectly guessed for some sounds

[@jenniferhanses7064]

Meanwhile Greg is guessing Desiree is the monster over and over, and she's nodding and mouthing sure yes, I could totally do that.

[@whoisavie]

i keep returning to this every so often and i just cant get over how the wow monster just kills EVERYBODY immediately at the same time. greg immediately keels over, alex cant believe what he just heard, desiree has to turn away, guz is chuckling away, alan is slumped over in comical shame, morgana is practically dead on the floor laughing and even the normally stoic victoria is stood there laughing with her arms out like "what the fuck kind of noise was that?" just beautiful truly one of the best moments of modern comedy television

[@Megalozon]

The look on Alex’s face after Guz’s monster kills me every time 😂

[@murmurrrr]

My favourite thing is that this was done without an audience, in an empty studio (due to covid, it was later watched by a live audience to ad the laughs). This makes it so much funnier to me

[@poilboiler]

Sounds like a good way to avoid the audience spoiling the answer by laughter or applause, which helps with the remaining noises.

[@TheCyberSpidey]

@@poilboiler I think it's probably why the latest series doesn't have too many "guess who" stage tasks. It's more of carnival games with Alex flair (entertaining still).

[@radar1974]

Alex has said in a podcast interview that some of the studio tasks during the lockdown series were specifically because there wasn’t an audience, and I would assume this is the prime example.

[@Babyteef]

i know this is a year old but i sincerely wish this task was done with a live audience, i can’t imagine the public losing it over Alan’s monster noise in real time

[@foxfire1345]

@@Babyteef It would ruin the game though, I’d actually prefer there were zero audiences for the final tasks. makes everything more authentic, and it that they don’t have to play off to an audience.

[@FiremansGaming]

07:03 Alex's face is as good as the wow to me

[@rejoicingfakepriest201]

This cast is still one of my favourites, so many different levels of strange and this live task was still one of the best

[@gregorianallanheavans8095]

"That level of cunning im going to attribute to Morgana" ahaahahh

[@jenniferhanses7064]

I think the reason this is one of the best task of all time is not only do both hosts break down, but we can see the other contestants interacting behind Greg at times, and Desiree and Morgana (as the ones mostly shown) are hilarious. And also the contestants seem to be having the best time with each other. I have to think that behind the scenes this is one of the closest group of contestants.

[@evetyler4345]

Alan's wow monster makes me cry with laughter every time. What a perfect finale.

[@leviathan6636]

Rewatching this in a hostel dorm while everyone is asleep and trying not to burst out laughing really makes you feel like you're there with them trying to stay silent

Very high-level play by Victoria, with the misleading roundabout-walk tactic and the brutish heel stomping. Shame the results didn't match her execution's high standards.

[@forallthestupidshit3550]

Her entire tenure on the show was amazing. The code cracking was straight genius! Also, I loved every time that Greg said "Victoria doesn't seem to know what show she has signed up for." Hysterical.

[@bugbear2357]

@@forallthestupidshit3550 the code cracking was one of my favourite moments of her series, along with her learning to ride a bike and, of course, the wow monster. absolutely brilliant woman, not necessarily suited for the total insanity of taskmaster because Victoria expects things to adhere to some kind of logic

[@danielzysk]

[@TheKYLEdavid]

Because he knew that Victoria is the only one of them who would do stuff like that

[@bugbear2357]

see, I think Victoria got caught with her clever tricks because nobody else in that series was going to try and be that smart about it, so it stood out as something she'd do

There was a mic set up in an art gallery that was connected to a set of speakers around the room.
