Series 14, Episode 6 - Long-Legged Lobster | Full Episode | Taskmaster

[@Taskmaster]

Apologies for re-posting. There was an issue with the video. Episode 7 will be available this weekend!

Thanks, bud.

It's worth the rewatch for further analysis

My favorite part of this show is when Alex tries to hide his laughter with his clip board.

that made me laugh so hard🤣🤣

It’s an ipad, but since this is technically a clip show you are still correct!

Or when Greg tries to be Taskmaster serious in the midst of something extremely funny

[@studkickass513]

You mean like he does in every episode?

[@enter_feeling6042]

The fact that Sarah managed to break every single rule on the last one is impressive

[@JohnVanderbeck]

There were only two rules and everyone broke both rules except Dara

[@levilore_7126]

Out of all the contestants on this show, I think i would have the hardest time not laughing at John because he just looks like hes trying so hard in every task but every task is so hard for him. Alex covering his face with the clipboard so he doesnt laugh was so relatable

[@youtubeSuckssNow]

If he can be this successful in life, anyone can.

[@studkickass513]

Yup, he does it nearly every episode.

[@sarahfox5379]

Why is noone talking about Sarah's brilliance at EXACT timing on the walks! That was incredible! And how she poured the milk out! Brilliant!

[@TheGrumbliestPuppy]

Cause all she did was walk in a straight line, makes it way easier to time. The milk bit was definitely brilliant, though! She's def my favorite contestant this season.

[@nicholem4831]

Because she has occasional moments of brilliance but is mostly a dingbat. Take for example the “stone stepping”challenge where she repeatedly stepped off of the stones, held her hands above her waist multiple times and also missed stones.

[@michconnor6271]

Check 21:12 again she actually tried to do a bit of style, though they didn't care for it. She walked backwards on the moving floor and walked in place on the regular floor for a bit and still timed it perfectly. @@TheGrumbliestPuppy

Oh Fern! One of the most lovable cast members ever. Her commentary with tears of embarrassment on the walkway task is one of the cutest, most relatable moment of the series. PS: The reaction of the others especially Dara when she says " I don't know what is real anymore" is everything!

John accepts his blupses and poor outcomes with SUCH good grace. I truly respect him and liked him more and more as the episodes went on.

16:13 Sarah is one of my all-time favorite contestants because she just seems so happy about everything, lol. Would've LOVED to see her in a series with James Acaster for contrast.

[@XatuYs]

Sarah and Chris Ramsey would have been an amazing pair.

[@wewemcrhyne]

James is my man. Those two would have been spectacular as team partners!

Strangely, the milk microwave dilemma is one of my favorite tasks to date

[@ShartinScorsese]

It’s also my new band name!

[@XMysticHerox]

I love that it was basically "who can stand being in a room with Alex being weird the longest".

[@Raindrop2424]

It’s from the nz taskmaster but slightly changed from the original so it’s still interesting even if you know the original

[@Raindrop2424]

They probably changed it for time reasons since in the nz version it went on for ages.

That moment when Dara realizes that he messed up, you can see Alex in background stunned wheeze and laugh 17:10

[@AndreasChrisWilhelmer]

I was really confused when the milk task didn't feature anyone having lunch while waiting for the task to be opened. Only just realized that the same task has been set for the New Zealand edition of taskmaster without a timelimit and fewer utensils. They reached a record-breaking time of around 1.5 hours. xD

[@rayedhamayun]

Went to go watch the clip from Taskmaster NZ after seeing this comment and I'm so thankful because it was amazing.

[@adorabell4253]

I knew the setup looked familiar.

[@alloallie]

David (the winner of the task in NZ) was so trusting...and it paid off !

[@StuartGelin]

Tbh this version was worse. I'm not sure why it has to be changed. I feel like changes to redone tasks never make them better.

[@Raindrop2424]

They probably had a schedule and didn’t want to risk everybody taking hours.

[@bhelliom3]

Sarah was already my favorite of this series but the “I had a nice coat on *shrug*” cemented it even more.

[@mattbriddell9246]

She is such a delight 😊

[@shirleykibbie5149]

[@bacul165]

E music is always great but in this episode it's just sensational. Loved the Soviet March, Munya's Bond score and the Unicorn Fantasy!

[@Dskrib]

John said "the sort of thing Alex would do" is say "he wouldn't open it", then ask "why didn't you open it"? I'm pretty sure Alex has never done anything like that before. In fact, I think the Assistant character has always been 100% honest, and almost always gives away the answers if you pay attention.

[@Watdee]

Exactly! My first thought was, "OK, they should definitely wait until the last minute." My second thought was that they should ask him if he would pour all the milk in the pot before opening it.

[@TheOneCleanHippy]

After so many intros as "Little Alex Horne", I thought he was actually a small man. I found out today that he is 6'1".

Agreed, but I don't mind because he was too far behind to win this season anyways.

I’m sure other folk see a task and their brains go, “I know how I’d do that!” Well, for the match walk task I knew I’d sing a song to myself I’m consistent at and then have a couple landmarks on the side of the path. So I know that when I sing, “I look at your pants, I need a kiss.” I should be at the trash can. Right? Or am I crazy?

[@jankisi]

if the walkalator is moving during both lanes, I'd just stand on it (pretend walking) and for the second time I'd walk while holding onto the handrail from the other side.

[@HelenIGuess]

@@jankisi That’s why they put the one minute time restriction on it. They say that the moving sidewalk takes around 1 minute 25 seconds to go through until then, so they wouldn’t be able to just stand there.

I just noticed Poor Alexs' right eye brow appears to have an injury, I hope the poor little fella is alright.

[@bacul165]

Wasn't there something with Fern accidentally hurting him last episode?

[@jeannenebabor7897]

Fern tortured Alex last episode by putting him in a tube, making him catch bananas in his mouth, and bunch of other stuff. Then at the end of the task she just walked away. It was funny. But at an awards ceremony Alex said after the task was over he fell over and got hurt. His arms were trapped so he couldn’t brace himself is my guess. It sounded like he face planted. I think he said he had a black eye and I’m guessing that is injury you see in the video.

@@TheGrumbliestPuppy it wasn’t just that he had an affair. He was shown to know the young man when he was still a preteen/teenager and had contact with him through social media. He eventually helped the young man get a position at his (Scofields) place of work. There is understandably accusations of grooming due to when they established a met and the subsequent relationship, the age gap, and the multiple power imbalances in their relationship among other things.

[@TheGrumbliestPuppy]

@@JayJay-17 Theeeere we go, that's the part I was missing. Was gonna say that sounded too tame to be a real scandal these days.

[@SquareNoggin]

​@@JayJay-17Sounds bad, but I'll never really get on board with this notion that "power imbalance" is some sort of problem in romantic relationships. It implies we're all on some linear scale of "power", which isn't really the case - but also, straight women especially very obviously tend to be attracted to men with power (of some sort of another). For reasons that quite frankly make perfect sense. But somehow it's a mark against someone if they pursue a relationship with someone they were in a position to help, lift up, protect, provide for, etc... Just don't make no sense. The world, and the sexual dynamics of people, is never gonna lack so-called "power imbalances". Women are never gonna stop pursuing men with power, who could be said to be more "powerful" than them - physically, financially, in terms of status or authority... whatever. But also it's always more complicated than that too, and typically in these sorts of affairs both parties rely on each other for different things. The whole spice of romance comes from the reality that the two parties are not perfect equals, and the expectation that they should be or that that's the ideal is delusional. But all that said I'm sure this particular affair was shady and immoral based on what's been posted here - obviously adultery is gravely immoral, as is grooming kids, as is... nevermind. But it's not the "power imbalance" that makes it immoral.
