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.

On the podcast Ed revealed that they were told that this was a tie breaker task... Then David happened.

@capacitatedflux Год назад

When I saw this comment, I had not seen David's attempt, and thought it would be because he somehow is a pro cowpoke and lassoed in one attempt. I should have known better.

@lisahenry20 Год назад

I don't think the spoons were that crazy of an idea. If he'd attached enough if them in a certain way, they could have kept the end of the rope in a more rigid way to keep it open as he threw, and so it would be easier to get it over Alex. It was an okay idea (I probably would have looked for a hoola hoop instead) with terrible execution.

@Renzsu Год назад

you know what, the football taped to the rope wasn't that bad of an idea really, it sure makes it easier to throw/aim for someone who doesn't know how to lasso. The spoons though.. absolutely mental.

Also I'm not sure any of these people actually completed the task as it was written. The process of lassoing something involves getting the rope over it and then cinching it down on the thing being lassoed. They mostly just threw a loop over someone and let it fall right to the ground without pulling the loop closed.

@somethingelse9176 Год назад

By that argument, David is the only one to successfully lasso Alex.

Lass-oo used to be the favoured pronunciation in America. Cowboys in the Old West would've called it a lass-oo, which is where British folk got the pronunciation. Consider also 'buckaroo', which comes from 'vaquero' for a similar treatment of a Spanish loanword. British folk used to pronounce it lass-oh based on spelling, but there's actually dictionaries from the period complaining about this as a mistake! In the intervening century, British people picked up the 'correct' lass-oo pronunciation, but Americans meanwhile shifted back towards 'lass-oh'.

@randyastle3301 4 месяца назад

Why are all the English folks saying this Spanish word wrong? Lasso comes from lazar, to link or bind together, right? So as a noun it’s lazo, or lasso, from the first-person singular yo lazo, and there’s no such word as lassoo. Los lazos familiares son muy importantes, etc. But saying lassoo is like saying, “I want to eat a tacoo.” Man, I feel as pedantic as Jordan Schlansky now, but this has been driving me mad since I first saw this task a couple years ago. Kudos to Rose, not from England, for being the only one who can speak English correctly. Ha

@@RD-js3uo It is not that only Americans can use a lasso. It is a Mexican invention, and many Canadians have used one. It is just that here in America using a lasso is a popular form of entertainment and has been for over a hundred years. American children learn how to stretch a rope, shape a loop, and snag a fence post at ten paces at a young age. Some of them go on to compete at snagging sheep and goats, then calves, cows, and horses. Some Americans even do it for a living. And many Americans, even old men, still like to snag a fence post once in a while.
