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.

@@jocomfiresin6982 his character is to be a submissive, but also mostly unflappable. He’s supposed to have a seriousness/sternness that allows him to act as the straight man to the comedians.

@@jocomfiresin6982 Oh, he’s usually having a good time, but his job is to remain somewhat as a supervisor. He can still react to situations, but it’s when this aura is broken that I think he “breaks character.” It’s like when Greg is supposed to be a stern, intimidating character and then he learns of how Bob poops, or sees a picture of his mother in the tub with a fez. He quickly returns, but he breaks momentarily IMO
@jocomfiresin6982
@jocomfiresin6982 Год назад
@@calebsevigny1146 Greg kind of has a nature stern intimidating aura to him though. His giant size and past as a teacher certainly helps. It's the fact he's in no way threatening as a human being and physically inept as well as his entire jovial personality that even allows those moments to seem even remotely funny. Whilst I'd agree he certainly broke the stern and intimidating persona in those moments with the smile I'd also say he didn't really break it. I don't remember the bob poops bit but his mother. He immediately did a double take with a strange yet happy smile upon his face before immediately following up with you traitorous old woman. Which felt very on brand. What I'm trying to say is more of compliment to him then anything else. He very much managed to both break the character and maintain it at the same time in that moment. Which really just seemed to add depth to the character as opposed to destroying it.

I instantly regonized this task from my country's version of the show! (Swedish one, "Bäst i Test".) The main difference in that one was that was that the balloon was filled with helium instead of water, and hanging upwards instead of downwards on a string. Among the items to use was also bow & arrows, and even guns! (Except those was soft air ones.) (Also, there was no "scissors" thing in that version, leading to two of the Swedish contenders to actually ran out of items without ever bursting the balloon. XD)

I think that was intentional taskmaster tomfoolery, they were counting on most people - like Dezzy - considering the scissors but seeing the initial timesink as intimidating and their subsequent misses as a matter of pride. It's gambling addiction mentality and they were probably deliberately rewarding anyone who cheesed the task instead. Makes me think of another balloon task, "pop just two and win", so my own fix would be to hide the scissors behind at least a simple puzzle (the portcullis is clearly visible so that'd be a hint) so you have to be clever rather than just pragmatic. I'll also call tomfoolery on the forks and stones not popping the balloon, I think MAYBE one that would pop with a strong throw of a fork would be appropriate but I think there was a joke item the cheapest on purpose (aside from the ducks) in case people fell for it.

I find the wording of "you must stay behind the rope" interesting. because really that could mean either side, either the way it was clearly intended and they all interpreted it or being behind it from the perspective of the cameras (like if you were hiding behind something). would definitely be up to taskmaster interpretation but I think there's a decent chance you win.
@Daltoniss
@Daltoniss 7 месяцев назад
I also thought that doing something with the 'rope' to cheese the task was the way to go. I'm not sure your solution would work though, unless you instantly moved 'behind' the rope as you were reading the task because once Alex introduces you to the shop the task starts and from the position of the disk you're supposed to stand on (the one next to the shop) that would lock your 'behind' option to the further one. It also could be difficult to get the items from the shop that way since Alex might just hand them to you unless you get closer (you could still probably pop the balloon just with your hands though. I was thinking more about treating the string as a rope and getting closer to the balloon by going over the side.

We used to shoot darts with slingshots, and we would joke about it being harmless other than popping balloons.

(Bamboo skewers with a sharp weight at the tip and paper fletching). Quite dangerous as a children's toy but oh my it was fun.

It doesn’t say anything about having to use the shop tools at all, or being able to just leave as long as you don’t pass the rope. You can probably go source your own tools, like a really long branch or sharper pebbles for the slingshot. Doesn’t seem like there’s much around though. Either way, the expense of the items in the shop gives you plenty of time to find something to beat the other contestants in time.

I'm surprised nobody argued the "but that's the only time you'll be allowed to touch the string". There was nothing about it in the task itself. Arguably, they could have unwound the string without actually buying the scissors no?

Me: *Grabs a handful of pebbles off the ground. "Hi Alex, I'd like to sell you these pebbles, I see the going rate is 1:30 for those nice pebbles. I'm quite sure these aren't as well curated, so I'll sell them to you at a 75% discount, how's that? You pay me 22.5 seconds per pebble." By the way, the task does not specify which side of the rope is in front and which is behind. It also doesn't say Alex can't move the rope, nor does it say Alex can't move the balloon or carry a dart from your hand to the balloon. Actually, it doesn't even specify which rope, although Alex does point at one, but there are two ropes very near each other. There are so many holes in this task, but I like my first idea. I'd love to see everyone's reaction.

@redelfshotthefood8213
@redelfshotthefood8213 2 года назад
The secret is this. If you are a cricket player or baseball player, then yes. You could throw the duck at the rope, or even the balloon and pop it that way.
@redelfshotthefood8213
@redelfshotthefood8213 2 года назад
Second wild thought: use the ducks to untie the string. You don’t touch the string. The ducks do.

Man the only Shakespeare quote I can remember is something something "Envy is a green eyed beast" or something like that and the one I'm not even 20% is an actual Shakespeare quote "I'd challenge you to a battle of wits yet you seem to be unarmed." I remember reading the whole collection but shit done passed through my brain like water through my digestive tract. I remember the general trend of most of them but if you put a gun to my head and told me to quote that man I'd say fuck it and suck the barrel of the gun cause I'm going out weird. "O beware, my lord, of jealousy; It is the green-eyed monster which doth mock the meat it feeds on." Google got my back with the quote I was looking for.

Move the pole with the rope attached to it forward - Not touching the rope and still staying behind it. No need to spend time.

The rule is you may not move the rope, not you may not touch the rope. You’d be disqualified if you did that.

@arghjayem
@arghjayem Месяц назад
08:08 living proof of the sunk cost fallacy. Rather than keep going)g buying darts, ducks and stones after the first failed attempt, she should have just gotten the big scissors. Or better yet picked the scissors first to start with. Guaranteed success whereas as all the other options have a relatively low chance of success yet she keeps buying more because she’s failed and they still seem cheaper than the scissors even though they’re not. 🤷
