I love this show. If you aren't watching full episodes then you don't get the full impact of the task results and jokes. You will enjoy it when you get to watching from season 1

[@Uncle_T]

Very much this! :)

[@IanElkins]

Definitely especially that last task

[@sharongoddard5191]

Season 1 was brilliant. The episode Melon Buffet is legendary

[@Dave-pq6pm]

I always think reactors ruin taskmaster for themselves by only watching clips. I get there’s copyright issues

[@staceymenheart8353]

@@Dave-pq6pm since Taskmaster Themselves post full episodes of the series on KZbin. Does copyright come in to play For reactors to react to? I ask because I honestly don’t know.

[@19DM81]

Like others have mentioned, this show really relies on the comparison of good/bad attempts for maximum enjoyment, so the clips like this video where a specific thing is being highlighted are almost more for fans who've seen them to relive the moment they are aware of than as an introduction of how the show works. Pick a season, start from episode 1 of it, enjoy! :D As far as season choice goes, if not going from the first one, it may be an idea to check the cast lists and go with one which has some familiar faces in it from other shows you've reacted to. :)

Alex is the brain behind this program as he always liked to do pranks on other people. This is a fabulous compilation as it shows thinking about tasks "outside of the box". Rod is a very good comedian, who has been friends with Greg for 15 years and their banters are fabulous.

[@VC-gt8fv]

I remember Mel’s season I can just picture the staff in baby Gap watching her wondering why the woman from bake off is acting crazy in a boiler suit.

[@kylegacy]

It's wild that so many of my favourite reactors from the US have started reacting to Taskmaster suddenly within the last week. Definitely react to full episodes though, fellas, as your other subs have said. It's an insane ride.

[@morganga]

please name names?! If they're watching Taskmaster, I'm watching them!

[@RyanCarrington]

@@morganga Stanz actually watches full episodes although they're edited for KZbin. Some have been taken down but there's quite a few still up.

[@rmweidner7596]

Alex Horne, who was the guy that Rhod Gilbert tied up in the first task, actually was the person who came up with the concept for the show, "Taskmaster". I say he's brought it all on himself.

[@yester30]

Best to look for videos dedicated to one single task (in title) and see how all 5 contestants did on it (or better yet a full episode), these compilations give a lot less context, and genius is best appreciated when seen next to others' failures :P

[@mr.dilkington]

You should definitely react to Joe Wilkinson’s potato challenge in the taskmaster

[@chrisparti]

The full episodes are even funnier because you get to see all of the attempts, and some of them are hilarious.

[@torilath]

One of the best bits was the Alan Davies wow monster. Greg cracks up at that.

[@kirk5152]

Hundred percent agree with Osman. If someone said, "I want you to eat the chips in the top kitchen cupboard" I'm not going to climb into the kitchen cupboard and eat them. I'm going to take them out of the kitchen cupboard, put them in a bowl, go and sit on the couch and watch taskmaster

[@veryvarley6706]

So much of the fun in this show is seeing all 5 contestants trying the same task. Lots of them are time based and the time starts from reading the task so there is effectively no thinking time. Some manage something clever, but often it is just madness, and that is the fun part.

[@phillipgreen3893]

Rhod Gilbert who tied Alex up has a great Taskmaster compilation where he disturbs Greg Davies on a couple of occasions, the show itself has just started its 14th series and comprises of 10 episodes per series and 4 tasks per episode, so there's another 36 tasks to see from Bob Mortimer

[@The-Underbaker]

It's a great show which highlights how people use different ways of thinking to tackle the same puzzles. (and it's hilarious)

[@FlissFloss2906]

You need to watch the series with Rhod Gilbert and James Acaster. Absolutely hilarious!! I love it! Xx

[@dataterminal]

James was the best - to find out he ignored Alex was amazing

[@jacquilewis8203]

This is an exceptional show. So many great moments we could be here for weeks.

[@10thdoctor15]

The light switch isn't a loophole as they highlighted it for people to use. The other times, they just didn't say they couldn't do something.

[@lynnwalsh7733]

I've realised that I must have watched 95% of your videos over the last year or so but have never subscribed. I have now subscribed but on the condition that you react to all of the Taskmaster episodes. You're in for a treat boys.... don't disappoint me:)

[@amberdawn5372]

Compilations are fun but for TM I would suggest watching the ‘full task’ videos at least if you don’t do full episodes so you get the benefit of seeing everyone’s attempts. You miss a lot by not seeing the contrast between what each contestant does in many tasks

[@Necron00b]

It's better if you just watch the full shows (maybe you can cut them up into 2 parts or something) alot of the context is shown over the course of everyone's attempts, so when you see just one persons attempt, it can be confusing.

[@blameit6]

Taskmaster is an awesome show. Alex is the one who runs this entire show and comes up with the tasks. He acts like the assistant to the host of the show.

[@wlvvzor]

It's much easier to understand if you watch the full thing, makes those loopholes even funnier seeing what the others actually did as well.

[@brownkiwibird]

This show is my ultimate comfort show. It was really great to watch you reactions, thank you so much for taking the time to share them with us! I hope that you still get a good laugh from the show from time to time, we all need a good laugh sometimes!

[@toddkarenmusic]

Love this show. Try the Norwegian version as well - "Kongen befaler" - with subs. They do explosives and all on that one. Crazy. Lol

[@vomgrady]

You have to watch the pain of the contestants to realise the joy of the genius moves.

[@DavidSmith-cx8dg]

Just started series 14 so you chaps have a bit of catching up to do . Taskmaster is great , each series has five contestants who compete for a golden effigy of Gregg Davies head . Alex Horne ( the Taskmasters assistant and creative genius behind it ) is an absolute genius . It's best to react to a full show or at least a complete task .

[@planktonrecords]

On the series he was on Bob Mortimer brought his brilliant alternative comic mind to the party. You need to see that video

[@malcolmbell5266]

getting to see all 5 contestants complete each task is a joy

[@jamesdignanmusic2765]

It's a brilliant show. Surprisingly, the creator of it, and writer of the tasks, is Greg's hen-pecked assistant Alex - so he knows what he's getting himself into.

[@sliverwolf1992]

You definitely have to watch full episodes of these to get the full enjoyment. They have just started season 14, there's 5 contestants per season mainly comediennes, and loads that you have already reactioned to on your channel. Oh and three champion of champions episodes to. Definitely worth watching you'll love it.

[@supernovaleftover1812]

It doesn't get any better than Bob Mortimer on Taskmaster. You're in for a treat.

[@HamzaDarby]

Yeah Taskmaster is great! Obviously in compilations you miss some context and the other contestants attempts, but they're fantastic none the less. Think a lot of people have copyright issues with full episodes which is a shame.

[@Linz1489]

You really need to watch full episodes to get the full experience, my favourite fact about the show is that Mel Giedroyc is the only contestant Alex ever wore a tie for ❤

[@deano2506]

Like others have said, it's really worth doing full episodes even if that's in your own time, It's one of the best show's you'll ever watch. If you go to the taskmaster KZbin channel they have whole seasons on there, think they're upto season 14 now, season 17 or 18 just started last week here in the UK.

[@markparker4536]

The best moment in all of taskmaster

Just watch the entirety of S2E1. It has the potato golf and the yoga mats, and is one of the strongest single episodes in the entire show. (NZ S2E2 is also right up there.)

[@annicecooper8105]

The whole series 2 was fabulous. Doc's insane nursery rhyme, the potato trailers, ask the Swede.... Wonderful stuff.

[@markjones127]

When you talk about Alex asking what turns he took in life to end up hopping in a chair on tv, well he's the programs founder, the whole thing is his baby, and it's VERY successful, so I'm sure he's over the moon hoping around in a chair!

[@jaykafei4815]

Great reaction, it's a great video but yeah definitely takes a bit of time to figure out what is going on if you don't know taskmaster before watching it, and the problem with this compilation is you don't seen the other contestants' tasks for a comparison. I'd definitely recommend watching full tasks, maybe ones with Bob in Season 5 or James Acaster and Rhod Gilbert in season 7.

[@andycandyandy]

You should react to Taskmaster disqualifications! Really funny

[@B3thBakes]

Love this! Please do more taskmaster!! 🙏 thank you guys

[@ha4pbl]

This is hands down the funniest show on TV right now, you guys will regret not starting it sooner. You're also not obliged to start with series 1 either. Could go with series 2 with Joe Wilkinson, Series 5 with Bob Mortimer or the brand new series 14 with Sarah Millican. Every series is the best for its own reason.

[@kitsuneneko2567]

On the first one, there was an extra task they were given earlier that said "when the siren goes off, you have to put on this boiler suit" - but they didn't say when. It was a particularly diabolical task. Rhod subverted it by tying ALEX up. Which was technically against the rules, but who cares about rules when there's good TV to be made?

[@Meteorite_Shower]

Rhod _did_ tie his hands at the end; nothing in the rules about doing a _good_ job of tying yourself up.

[@chelcbarnett]

Would love to see their reaction to the cake episode with Liza.

[@majbrat]

You should watch whole shows; perhaps in parts. The funniest bits are the absolute fails or the frustration they face at times 😉

[@daveworrall1151]

That first one guys, he was (Rhod) meant to tie himself up and the other guy had to untie him, with the slowest time winning. Rhod thought it'd be a great idea to tie up the fella instead so he had to untie himself before he could start on Rhod. It was brilliant

[@robertobecco7718]

You guys should really consider watching Season 01. It's a fantastic show, but you lose a lot without context. Love the reactions.

[@nadeansimmons226]

There is always a loophole provided but they mostly miss the trick

[@styx85]

These brilliant solutions are a lot more enjoyable after watching the four previous contestants failing miserably! On the last task here, most of the others ran like maniacs up and down the hill for a long time.

[@markjones127]

When you say you want to be on the show, well this years New Years Day special does actually have a famous KZbinr as a contestant, Amelia Dimoldenberg, so keep growing the channel and you never know!!!

[@makaveliuk86]

Yeh there's been a plethora of UK comedians have been on the show👀once you get to the full episodes, you'll recognise so many,and they'll have you in tears,it's brilliant 👌

[@gandalf8106]

You really need to watch a whole episode, or even better a whole season. My personal favourite is season 7, or the one with Hugh Dennis. Such a good show

[@DJ_Sycottic]

You should watch full episodes. Taskmaster is one of the best shows on TV at the moment. It's one big rabbit hole to go down...

[@qwertyTRiG]

This show really does work much better as full episodes than as compilation clips, I'm afraid.

[@markjones127]

Great reaction! It's an amazing series, quite a daunting rabbit hole for you guys though, they're already up to around 127 episodes and each one is about 45 minutes long, and the new series starts tomorrow night here in the UK, I can't wait!!! Those clips are even funnier when you've seen the other 4 contestants doing it the hard way first, there's pretty much always a loophole somewhere to be found!!! Something else you'd love is a KZbin series called 'No More Jockeys', it's little Alex Horne from Taskmaster with his good friends Tim Key and Mark Watson, it's basically a game they came up with touring together on the comedy circuit to kill time, it's hilarious and sometimes deviously clever!

[@animalshrew7092]

Every series has amazing tasks and great contestants, they are on s14 now so plenty to choose from but of course Bob Mortimer in his series was epic

[@davidsouth9979]

It strikes me that one English thing you may have overlooked is ‘Northern Soul’. As the name suggests it started in northern England and it’s movement that started in the sixties. They are into soul music from Detroit but not Motown. The more obscure the better and singles can be sold for thousands of pounds. They have a special way of dancing and there are examples on KZbin. It’s a working class movement and the north was the place for heavy industry, like Detroit. Check it out. They have their own way of dressing too! The singer Duffy’s video to the song Mercy gives some idea, as does the song.

[@theindoorkites]

'Taskmaster- times when the answer was right there' is hilarious too lol.. it's better to watch full tasks for better understanding and comparisons but compilations are always funny af

A lot of seasons of Task Master are on KZbin. So if you want to see the show in full. They're is a lot for you to get stuck into.

[@tobyb1018]

If you’re gonna deep dive into this, don’t really have to start at the start and watch all series (it’s on 14 right now!) id recommend watching a whole season or two - set with series 5 (Bob Mortimer series) or 7 (James Acaster’s series) they’re both gold and great introductions to it all

[@DruncanUK]

You guys absolutely must do an escape room..and film yourselves doing it. That would make for some excellent viewing!

[@daddynitro199]

Alex Horne, the guy Rhod Gilbert tied up, is the actual taskmaster. Greg Davies is technically the host, and a more believable bastard. Also, the more full episodes you watch, the more disturbing some of these people seem. I find Rhod Gilbert genuinely disquieting, Katherine Ryan and Sally Phillips are deeply concerning, all while being hilarious.

[@irisblue2332]

Clips are best for reliving the magic, not the best introduction. So often the humor comes from the juxtaposition of how different people approach the tasks.

[@tarontagosh1127]

What Alex was probably thinking while being tied up was, "I'm the creator of a wildly successful TV show now on it's 7th season. If being tied up for the show is what it takes I guess I'll do it." Being tied up is probably one of the more tame things to have happened to him during the course of the show.

[@lisahenry20]

Depending on what order the tasks were filmed, he was either thinking "well it can't get worse than this" or "well it isn't the worst thing he's done to me"

[@conallmclaughlin4545]

Sorry lads, this is the perfect example of a show where full episodes are needed

[@s.b.907]

Yes, or at least a video of a particular task and see what all the contestants do for that task.

[@lancebloke]

A new series of Taskmaster just started and is already great. I agree with others that you should watch a whole series (doesn't have to be series 1... just a whole series) to get the full impact. My joint favourite comedy type show with Would I Lie to You!

[@pia91]

Definitely do full episodes and PLEASE don't cut out the banter - the official tm channel uploads the episodes on KZbin, you can access them via VPN

[@LiteDisc]

For context on the first clip because no one seems to be explaining it, at the start of that same episode they were told when they heard that exact siren they had to run to the front of the house, put their boiler suit on and then lie on the ground. It was left without the siren going off, until a few tasks later during this one. The intended twist being that contestant's tied their self to a chair, had to untie their self, finish the siren task and then restart the chair task with less than half the time they originally had. Rhod's workaround of the chair also unintentionally worked around the siren task.

[@thetimlumbTV]
