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.

Imagine how smug the contestants feel sitting and watching everyone else do a task they know they knocked out of the park
-
Finding loopholes to the rules was the core essence and greatest joy of the show for me, until this tactic was discouraged or simply forgotten by the contestants.
-
Rhod tying up Alex is the most obviously genius move, but getting Ben Fogle to shout the charades words is even more genius imo
-
Katherine Parkinson working out that there could be coconut water in the fridge is even funnier knowing that she couldnt work out the spider was outside and putting the shoes on the table
-
"Something sharp" is one of the whittiest things I've heard on the show. Well done, Alex Horn!
-
These are all genius but Rhod tying up Alex is my absolute favourite. Not in this video, but I also liked when Joe Lycett opened the jar before reading the task (probably not a loophole but still genius).
-
My favorite tasks to see are either ones where someone just randomly has so much skill at doing whatever it is, or when they find a brilliant loophole to the task.
-
I remember somebody once said they wouldn't be suprised if Rhod tried to weld the door to the van shut during a game of hide n seek to ensure alex couldn't escape.
-
the Katherine Parkinson one makes me wonder about all the tasks where there was a loophole planned by the production team but not found
-
8:18 “ There was no need to put a bucket on his head, was there?” always cracks me up 😂
-
Weighing in of Ed Gamble's closed bin: if you go to a shop and they are loading things in through the back entrance, but the front door is locked then the shop is closed. Same for bins
-
For the charades game, you can get around the rule 'you are not allowed to raise your voice' by just shouting as soon as the time starts. If you start off shouting and keep shouting, you aren't raising your voice relative to when you started.
-
The unexpected rivalry between David Baddiel and Ed Gamble as well as Rhod Gilbert and James Acaster was brilliant to watch, they all slowly became more and more unhinged and chaotic as their series’ went on
-
Ed Gamble shouting "Dedication, Dave!!!", will always make me laugh
-
Although it's been featured in many compilations before I would have picked Hugh pulling the plug from the treadmill instead of the sandwich delivery task because in this one he still didn't win (Noel did) but I believe Hugh's victory in the treadmill task is the biggest landslide victory throughout the show given the ball stayed on there for 4 months
-
Ben Fogle being willing to shout things out across a river was surprisingly pleasing.
-
I'd love to see Susie Dent on this for the simple reason she could argue about the wording of a task which could go either way of helping her win the season ir hinder herself or other contents during the task
-
i have (finally) worked out another way to win the tie yourself up task. Tie up your hands, and then once Alex comes to untie you just keep running away from him
-
Always my favourite bit when they hold these off after everyone else has done it and you can’t help but scream “I should have done that” at the TV.
-
This is probably the third time I’ve seen the tying-up stunt with Rhod and Alex. I only just now got the “something sharp” joke, when Alex requested such for lunch.
