In this Broadcast Award-winning, BAFTA and Emmy Award-nominated entertainment show, Taskmaster tyrant Greg Davies (Man Down, Cuckoo), with the help of his loyal assistant Alex Horne (The Horne Section and the show’s creator), sets out to test the wiles, wit and wisdom of five hyper-competitive comedians.
Comedians that have risked life, limb, and dignity in the hope of making the Taskmaster proud so far include: Frank Skinner (The Frank Skinner Show), Mel Giedroyc (The Great British Bake Off), Romesh Ranganathan (Asian Provocateur), Hugh Dennis (Outnumbered), Sally Phillips (Bridget Jones’ Diary), Rose Matafeo (Edinburgh Comedy Award Winner 2018), and Russell Howard (The Russell Howard Hour). Unaware of what awaits them in each wax-sealed envelope, only one competitor can become the victorious owner of His Royal Task-ness’ golden head and be crowned the next Taskmaster Champion.

joe sadly trying to open a bag of crisps with boxing gloves is one of my favorite moments from this series

[@poilboiler]

Dear Joe, how do you type with boxing gloves on your hands?

[@RyanFox85]

Him trying to open the task was so great lol. I knew he was doomed at that point lol

[@iliketrains3495]

Much like the legendary train hide-and-seek task, it's impressive that Joe was at the biggest disadvantage but still won.

[@Friendlysociopath]

Why was Joe at the biggest disadvantage for the train?

[@iliketrains3495]

@@Friendlysociopath there was snow on the ground, so not only was there a trip hazard but he was leaving footprints in the snow, so Alex could somewhat track him.

This is Iain's best task in my opinion. His reaction to every single flavour was pinnacle, and my brain says "crilsps" now instead of "crisps" permanently

[@djvWOODSTOCK]

I'd argue the sand in bucket task.

[@zombiedoe3404]

i actually cant pronouce crisps and sandwich properly now because of him

[@DanielWilliamIronside]

5:16 I sincerely hope this show wins awards for the editing. Always been incredible! The timing of Iain's face on screen with the "toothpaste and tomato" text, giving the audience the time to realise what he's eating as the look on his face equals our surprise was hilarious!

[@darkheartchick]

Two things: 1. It's adorable how happy and excited Ian is in his pirate costume. 2. Joe is just adorable. Period.

[@josemaria8177]

You know the moment Alex presents food to you that you're in for one of the most disgusting times of your life

[@bootieos7701]

[@danielharmon15]

I think "burnt bread" and "burnt toast" are indistinguishable and thus Ian should have received a full score on that onr. Just like Sarah in S14 identifiying cheese ice cream when the flavor was mac and cheese

[@billyeveryteen7328]

I think if Ian would have argued, they would have given it to him, but he agreed with Alex.

[@chlcrk]

Sarah guessed "something cheese-y" for the Bechamel/Brussel Sprouts ice-cream, not the white chocolate & mac n cheese one

[@Blue-EyesWhitePrivilege]

"Burnt bread" and "toast" are indistinguishable, as they are the same thing, but burnt toast is the next step and isn't the same thing as toast itself.

[@patiencekillz]

iain’s utter delight at joe’s outfit never fails to amuse me

[@Ssquake]

"I'd like to see his chest" he said. Me too, thanks for that Iain!

[@slimcourage901]

I feel like Iain should have reciprocated. Y'know, for the sake of fairness.

[@DanielWilliamIronside]

2:47 I always thought what a shame Lou didn't get her wish...

Iain's crush on Joe is quite cute. I remember Iain saying "I found it quite sexy" after watching Joe's performance in the make your way to the bridge task.

[@itsgonnabeanaurfromme]

​@@slimcourage901 yes what a shame. Iain looks good in the pirate outfit but I would love to see him in boxers, I mean as a boxer.

toast is a byproduct of burning bread, should have gotten full marks!!

Toast is burnt bread. so burnt toast is burnt burnt bread. That 100% counts.

6:12 the aggressive chip opening got me😭

[@raseon97]

Joe getting a whole point for Toothpaste and Ian getting a half point for the same answer when the whole flavor was Toothpaste & Tomato is a crime. Joe and Ian should have been tied with 1.5 points each.

[@Plebasaurus5179]

Iain said “minty”, not toothpaste, he really shouldn’t have gotten any points at all

[@lazthegreat10]

You're telling me burnt bread is different to burnt toast?

[@nwithers]

If you’re baking bread you can certainly burn it, and it wouldn’t be right to call that toast.

[@Kuffen_infinity]

Something like this could be good with a secret extra task in the studio, everyone gets a white board and guess the order of correct awnswers either after seeing all the guesses or before :P

[@raseon97]

Lou said taste of burnt for the vegan chocolate though not the burnt toast. The scoring was all off for this round.

As bad as these crisps sound, maybe they would taste better if they were Quisps.

[@dp-g5i]

Given that the vegan contestant hated the vegan chocolate, one can only assume they were given that vile 100% dark chocolate, so Iain should have got full marks for "cocoa powder" and therefore should have won this task

[@bongmuon]

Also what is burnt toast but a different level of burnt bread?

[@kaspianepps7946]

It might have been carob, which as a vegan I can attest is absolutely disgusting.

[@dp-g5i]

@@kaspianepps7946 Agreed.

[@Tao_Tology]

You can (at long last) get pretty decent 90-100% chocolate. It's still not going to taste like a processed-ingredients-and-flavourings milk chocolate but it's not inedible.

nothing contradictory in there - you dont need to use milk to make chocolate

[@Tao_Tology]

Nah, chocolate is cocoa + 'stuff'/processing. vegan _dairy_ milk chocolate would be an oxymoron.

[@samtremblaybelzile]

I had the opposite question, because I consider chocolate to be vegan by default unless you add milk to it. Like 90% cocoa chocolate is more chocolate than milk chocolate...
