The Task That Broke Ed Gamble & A Russell Howard BLUNDER Tickles The Taskmaster | Best Duck Tasks

[@pamsp]

I love the certainty of after someone says "I can't just X (because it would be insane)" they will cut to another contestant doing said insane thing with no success whatsoever

[@MrPsyJak]

"You may not move the rope or the POND" the amount of stipulations they have to make thanks to their creative contestants.

[@dancer1038]

I'm guessing that largely comes from Rhod stewart who moved a hole by digging around it and then putting that dirt somewhere else

[@rynabuns]

@@dancer1038 That was Rhod Gilbert-I don't think Rod Stewart's been on the show yet 😂

What's crazy is Lucy Never Figuring Anything Out in Series 15 ot 16, I forgot which No wonder Jon Left Her, She's Dumb as a Rock! It's not an act, She Is Dumb! Trying to cover up ignorance with outlandish stories doesn't work long Unbelievable & shockingly Dumbness shows Greg tried to overlook it & finally gave up. Jon Richardson gladly& quickly gave $1.6 Million To Get Away, he's super smart on cats countdown!! She won't make a career without him She's just Dumb, lol & said on one task oh I'm An! Actress! She couldn't fool a kid! Greg was Shocked for a bit, but then said oh ofcourse soon on! Now his friends understand.

[@jeremybourne7721]

The seriousness in which John is adamant you cant buy ducks that small is one of the most underrated taskmaster moments of all

[@KitagumaIgen]

Rarely have I seen all the others lose it like that - everyone cracked! Absolutely brilliant!

[@WClarkson]

Funnily enough, there is a shop on Charing Cross road that sells nothing but rubber ducks.

[@Reptonious]

You can imagine a whole story in your mind. For some unholy reason he was looking for a duck in the first place and found they were all too big. "Wait, really?" He searches all consumer shops, high and low. He is *actively* rebuffed, told he is a fool, he is an idiot, even by salesmen who would happily take his quid if they could.

[@cecil6075]

i love how he insists "i'm not bad at this" as though he was having an off day and every other time he's played duck sock treadmill catch he's been great at it

There are 2 entities haunting him now, rather than one.

I swear there must be a part of the contract that states the contestants cannot know how to use tape.

[@Futz-t2k]

Union rules: only gaffers can use the gaffer tape

[@synsrfem4428]

9:23 bruv.

[@Booshis_journey]

I've seen ridiculous amounts of gaffer tape used in some of the series. 😅 ❤

[@Miss_Camel]

I feel like so, SO many tasks could be done effectively and creatively if they had access to duct tape, I can’t believe none of them have ever asked for it, I’m pretty sure it’s everyone’s go-to solution for…everything. Well, that and Krazy glue. 🤣

[@oscartaylor8530]

​@@Miss_CamelI've always said if I go on it I'm going to hide vast amounts of duct tape on increasingly comedic parts of me

[@PotatoLemons1]

Alex running around a tree holding a bicycle with a basket full of ducks while Judi Love wanders into the distance is unironically the funniest thing I've ever seen.

[@lizamarri5240]

honestly kiell's little duck scene was so pure i could watch it a thousand times and never get tired

[@QueenPersephone520]

The dad in the duck kidnapping was secretly Fern Brady and no one can convince me otherwise, I could 100% imagine her getting doing that

[@adjustableisland8806]

40:30 the funniest Task I've ever watched. Cant stop laughing at John😂

[@VarmintLP]

Makes it seem that Alex and Greg are obsessed with ducks. However it only shows the best bits so there is definitly more footage of rubber ducks xD

[@sebastianmalice5603]

I think the disqualification on Russell and Alice actually wasn't correct. He didn't actually leave the carpet, he kept one of his feet on it and the rules didn't say you couldn't touch anything else just couldn't leave and technically he didn't. Also crazy not to just throw one of the ducks at it.

[@darrenwiseman9373]

The tasks are usually allowed to be interpreted by the contestants to some grammatically extent. If the contestant believes they have failed, they'll likely fail them, if the contestant sees a different ruling, they may end up allowing that.

[@angryscottishidiot]

Have i ever told you my definition of insanity? Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expect that Ed Gamble will get a different result. :D Or as David Baddiel once put it... "Egg is furious, Egg is boiling"

[@marthagrondin4764]

Gamble is such a great contestant. If he can’t make it successful he’ll definitely make it funny. 😂

[@madMARTYNmarsh1981]

How on Earth does a comedian miss the obvious 'these ducks were ab-duck-ted' joke after abducting said ducks?

[@tek2490]

I suspect it’s because they are genuinely funny, and that statement is not at all funny. But that’s just a theory

[@sunna8476]

Don't move the rope or the pond, but they could've walked around the rope couldn't they? That's one way to interpret the instructions

[@_TheDudeAbides_]

I wonder if they would have been allowed to run a string around the statue by the pond and tie the duck to an end of it to just pull the duck from the back into the pond.

[@iliketrains3495]

You pretty much nailed it, Lou Sanders did exactly that and she won with like 15 minutes

[@steve470]

First full task (get the duck into the pond) was from Champion of Champions 2.

[@anotheruserism]

For first one my immeadiate thought was throw it to Alex and get him to go down and put it in the pond. As soon as I saw the duck in the lawst one I was thinking does it deflate. If so pull the plug thn worry about the task.

Is Noel's middle name really Gregory or was that a reference to old greg? One internet result says it is but none of others mention it
