Weirdest Tasks | Taskmaster

[@MS_-_2468_-_]

The genius of keeping the camera in the lab room while we hear the audio from Joe cooking in the kitchen is just... Perfection

[@autorobot8240]

For a show that lets comedians do essentially whatever they want, it’s incredibly well filmed. They always use creative angles and funny film techniques, seemingly on the fly.

[@belg4r489]

I'm guessing the cameracrew actually followed him there and filmed but they ended up choosing to use the footage of the stationary cameras instead, twas a good choice!

[@ogpandamonium]

The editing of this show is the true star. It deserves every reward.

[@ipek227]

Rhod almost always resorting to put Alex through "fairly structured torture" when presented with any task is among my favorite things in that series.

[@jinja-ninga97c21]

Well...ad the saying goes "go big or go home"

[@lizcollinson2692]

With a fair amount of nudity.

[@Cheapthrill1979]

Rhod's solution to being untied by Alex was the best.

[@ashleyn.9166]

Rhod just came to take the mick out of Greg as much as possible.

[@logicalconceptofficial]

Alex definitely pulls his weight on the show lmao

[@BertGrink]

Often I feel sorry for Little Alex Horne for all the abuse he´s put through from the contestants, but then I force myself to remember that the show is his own creation. 😂

[@mrSam3ooo]

frank skinner has the most sympathetic laugh/smile I think I've ever seen. Something so kind about it

[@TanakaMatsumoto]

What I love about British comedy vs American is British comedians seem to give less of a shit about making themselves look perfect. Funny shit happens that doesn't make them look the best and they just roll with it. This is what I truly love about this show, everyone is just here for a good time and some laughs. American comedy is much more about making fun of others and less about making fun of yourself, but this show is making fun of yourself in such a pure way. Hope it doesn't end for a long long time.

[@easyefpv6609]

[@MS_-_2468_-_]

They could put out least weirdest tasks video, it would be shorter, and I would still enjoy it

[@GabeStrenke]

Rewatching Frank Skinner go through the pies, I'd probably do the same thing, especially since it was the first season of TM and no one there, other than maybe Tim Key, knew anything about the show and how they try to misdirect/hide shit. It also made me think about why here in the US we don't really do savory pies other than chicken pot pie, I've never had a steak pie, but I know what I'm making this weekend because that looked delicious!

[@SensationalBanana]

Rhod Gilbert needs to come back to the show. He made me ughly laugh painfully far more than any other contestant. Runner up: James Acaster.
