Lee Mack Nails This Task By Total Fluke | Taskmaster 

​@@josephbach1 "that knowing cause and effect isnt important to solve a problem", true, until we started to actually solve problems instead of just winging them. Which was the point where animals started to use tools, which then separated the humans from animals. Which then allowed humans to gain knowledge of causing the effect of fire. Which also enabled us to increase our average world wide live expectancy from 35 years to 70 years within a decade due to research. While having people figuring out steam engines, electricity, computers and internet. Trial and error (like shown in the task) is the process to figure out cause and effects, to be able to get a predictable successful results in daily routines. Which basically makes Science and Engineering like needing to say a different letter at each step and clapping on every second red, to avoid setting of the alarm, and have the findings documented for everyone to be able to reproduce the result.

Extend this to real life problems such as COVID and Global Warming, where trial and error takes far longer, and it isn't hard to understand why we are in such a mess.

See also BF Skinner's superstitious pigeons.

It's not actually that profound. This was a completely arbitrary and fabricated cause and effect. The only way to discover it would be through pure brute force trial and error. Figuring out cause and effect in real world situations where the cause and effect have some kind of rational relationship isn't the same. And the correlations they were observing were not false. The actions they observed did indeed take place immediately before the alarm triggered. So that is a valid correlation to consider. They just weren't the actions that were actually causing the alarm to trigger.

@@Rowgue51 But in a lot of real world cases the rationality of the relationship isn’t understood until long after the cause and effect is found. Look at the history of diseases. Knowledge of germs is relatively modern, and working out why everyone is dropping dead (is it bad smell? Bad food? Bad water? Bad air?) is pretty tricky stuff without that knowledge.

Rhod would just fuck off and do it himself separately xD

Alex: Hello James. James: *silence* Alex: *sets off alarm*

James: fuck you I'm not doing anything with this prick (pints to rod) I hate him and I'd rather do this with a walrus.

And Hugh.

They're basically the British version of "two and a half men".

And this is how religions start. Sorry, I meant to say superstitions.

My comment got deleted so I’ll repeat: Now we gotta make WOWOWOWOW and Red fight. Just like Boat Mormonism and Denouncing Venice

Actually it's Church of Latter Day Boats ​@DeathnoteBB Great to see a Door Monster fan!

​​@@jeanaprewitt9658That's exactly what I thought. Religions have some good things in there like morals but there's a lot of wawawawawa in there that has nothing to do with the real things that should be focused on. They think that the religion is the reason they're gonna get a good place in the afterlife when it's really about the development of love and morals.

@@StephJ0seph yeah, some religions do help promote good morals, but many conflate morality with obedience. Disobeying my pastor when he told me to install an offensive sign he had gotten made was not an immoral act

So you would pay the telly tax and watch the series fully ;)

@@softbreeze941 i would rather commit a crime than i would pay tax to a foreign monarch

@@piratekingomega3292 Never buy anything in the UK then. There's tax on that

@@halibie282 i have never been to the UK in my life.

@@piratekingomega3292 You wouldn't be. Taxes aren't paid to the monarch. Yes, the monarchy gets some money from tax payers but the amount wouldn't be affected by your paying a few pence to the Government.

😂

Lee Macks relaxing on his "steadings" with this comment ! 😂

had it gone any longer he would've gone in his white dressing gown and unleashed a teppanyaki on Alex

amature spider catcher

That's quality Dan. Thank you 😂

It went off after 10 seconds of silence and if they said a word with the letter T in it.

Thank you

It shows 7 seconds countdown and it highlight the "t" letter whenever they speak. I mean... How much more handholding do you need?

@@lolipedofin All the handholding since I haven't had a girlfriend in... I don't know... 4 years now?

@@lolipedofin I think he just means he wanted to see who won and the result of the task. Not handholding just a video with an actual resolution

Pretty sure there's a task where you buy something for the taskmaster for £20, but I'm not sure that counts since that's clearly intentional.

I actually wouldn’t mind to see some tasks repeated. Everyone is different and would approach the task in a new way. I wouldn’t mind a few or so being repeated.

@@spareumbrella8477 honestly i thought it would be a reoccurring task every season, but i guess they just decided to not use that task after a couple of seasons

The previous season to this one had very weak tasks though. Most of them were too restrictive in the wording or too complicated, or both, which ended up making that season boring because the contestants were unable to come up of clever ways to solve the tasks without going against the restrictions.

@@david54181 That's true for the creative tasks (music video for a lullaby for example) but a lot of tasks had one "best" solution (baby gap as that smallest gap) and I think it could get boring pretty quickly

Thank you....

Thank you....

Thank you so much!!!

Thanks for the season number!

i really wish they'd gone with animal noises. most animal noises don't have a t and it would have been hillarious watching them go oink moo bark meow baa.

@@wfchannel4673I think it would've been even funnier if they accidentally said "ribbit" or something right at the end

david mitchell would be incredible imo. maybe now that victoria's one, david may be next?

David Mitchell would be hilarious. Him arguing with Greg would make my day

U know David doesn't do manual tasks

Tim Vine has been on it, he’s on Series 6!

@@lucygrayson6034 meant had him on with Lee Mack in the same series.

Yes, exactly :)

You only knew because they showed you

@@nfwarrior3000 they were just confirming, chill

@@nfwarrior3000 It was a question to confirm the solution since it wasn't shown in this clip.

@@nfwarrior3000 you must be quite a simple person if you think all possibilities were explored there, the T rule was very clearly highlighted, but the 7 second talk reset could be more specific as they cut off the end in this video and didnt show. could very easily be "you have to talk with the letter W" if the fail condition is letter dependant, the pass condition could also be. dont make conclusions before you try every possible avenue, brainlet

Yeah it does seem remiss.

@@Lumibear. I could be remiss, OR... I'm lying.

seriously! who edited this??

@@andracatheduckking257 the same dude who made that GIF where the speeding truck never hits the post.

@@rosecoloredbi not for all countries yet. even with a direct link it will say video blocked in country, I had to buy a vpn subscription just to watch taskmaster. since the change to channel 4. otherwise before I was just behind a week or 2.

They always leave out the important bits of taskmaster on RU-vid to get people to watch the show.

@@Naebun they don’t usually leave the studio discussion out of these videos, plus they don’t put the RU-vid videos out until AFTER it’s aired on TV.

I think it's because Taskmaster is literally free on RU-vid, and has both full episodes and bits from the show. Also, editing is better.

Did the cards not pop up for you?

Your supposed to use that time to hop from color plate to color plate and leave your home. Now get along before the alarm goes off.

What is the answer? Say the same thing on each step? I'm still confused...

@@adelefarmer629 I believe its no more than 10sec of silence and they can't say the letter T

@@atrumluminarium 7

Yeah, this is one of the harder ones I can think of. I could definitely imagine spending all afternoon and not figuring it out

I never would have figured this out

Ive never seen that abbreviated and thought u just headbutted the keyboard 😂

thought you had numlock lmao

@@jackoliver4615 Most channels that upload bootleg full epsiodes abbreviate it.

@@hop-skip-ouch8798 There's always one!! 😁😁

"I cant believe it" and John Richardson was so unhappy about it too

But did they understand how they succeeded?

@@LordChappers No. They thought they knew what they had done right but found out in the studio that they were completely wrong.

@@RickeGnool And what had they done?

@@cecilyfc They made a sound that didn’t have the letter T in it.

@@RickeGnool that hilarious

The "Taskmaster House" is/was the course keeper's cottage.

Omg they should use the golf course......aaaaaahhhh I just realized....5 comedians on a course they gonna cause trouble

How’s you notice it was a golf course

@@gamesandfun781 Pretty sure they've used the golf course for at least one task didn't they? The one where someone on a chair had to guide blindfolded people to a specific spot?

@@stone5against1 true I was just picturing them chopping up the faitway with bad strokes but there have been other uses I'm sure

It's so they intrigue you to watch the full programme

Chairs were thrown and greg sat on somebody… it wasn’t pretty

@@WxB2001 sadly those of us in the US only get to watch what gets uploaded to youtube. Not seen the show on any streaming service here.

@@dragonshadow1902 they upload the full episodes @taskmaster

@@dragonshadow1902 Taskmaster youtube channel has uploaded full tasks and some of the full seasons. Otherwise i watch it on series9, lots of the pop up ads but at least they're there

Yeah, I've very confused by the title of this video... He's struggling just as much as everyone else?? How tf did the "nail" it???

@@sirsquiggles1584 It's cut a bit weird, but Lee and Wozniak did it a lot faster and with less mistakes.

Use a vpn

@@danielsayre3385 Idk which one to trust or a reasonable price to pay. Would be cool if free ones existed

@@ggmann13 google chrome extensions have free ones

@@ggmann13 dont EVER use a free vpn, all the free ones out there are just malware traps.

just pirate it

Underrated

Thank you. I hate when they never put the episode number in this compilations

They kind of did it in series 10. I'm not sure how many people wanted the watermelon task back but they brought it back with a nice alteration anyway.

a court order says he mustn't do physical activity

I'd love that. I imagine him getting miffed like constantly

It's Series 11, Episode 7 - You've Got No Chutzpah.

@@ekanthjp7805 Excellent! Thank you. My Google-Fu failed me

It would have been great if the trail was arranged so clues to the solution were visible once they were past a certain point, but the clues were vague or hard to see.

It's between a golf course and a cemetery, at least no houses nearby to annoy. It's a nice walk from Kew Gardens if you're ever in the area. Can visit the tree of Tree Wizard.

Afterwards you find out that his team took way way longer than Mike and Lee's team

Indeed, especially when he had to fart.

Initially I was a big fan of his, but he lost me with the mohawk and the farting.

​@@billbauer9795The farting is understandable (but that was technically Alex's fault and not his), but how can you possibly not like "Tick Tock it's tough guy o clock"?

@@dp-g5i His undermining the vole bit was incredible. "You've got no chutzpah! Your organizational skills are lackluster!"

@@Squiddyize And your timekeeping is abysmal!

to make you want to watch the show

he shouldn't have tho, he said white in there and Alex missed it, also the there 2 didn't make it

Also Lee Mack was faster. Dunno what happen to the editing. 🙈👀

They show him first, they were on different days (weather), that doesn't mean quicker!

@@kurtsudheim825 but it was a team challenge and only jamali made it from there team so even if his was first, they still lost the challenge

@@that_briish_chap3098 All three of Jamali's team made it to the end, they all kept on saying "red red red red" the whole way through. It's just not shown in this clip.

I'm happy to say my sentiments exactly 😊

Yes and no. It was his idea to make the sound of the alarm, which incidentally didn’t use the letter “t”. But that’s not THE way to win this task. And he and Mike set off the alarm less than the others. So I guess it’s accurate that he did nail it by fluke.

Ah bless this comment is so tragic now. I'm not sure if you know but he did die yesterday. RIP. I agree though he would have been fantastic but he would probably argue an awful lot more than the average contestant with the taskmaster.

Ouch

dude.

I'd like to agree but I don't think we'd handle a zombie Sean Lock.

It’s just really easily impressed

another comment said S11 E7

The clip shows both teams figure out a solution slowly and does not give the impression they got lucky

Irrespective of the number of tries a fluke, or dumb luck, is succeeding without knowing how or why you succeeded. Luck or chance as opposed to skill or ability.

@@dontaskme7004 - Dumb luck and a fluke are normally associated after the first successful try, not the thirtieth or the millionth.

@@SnorrioK But in most situations you know the means and the end, you know the intent and the goal, you know the method and that it can be done, like getting a hole-in-one the first time on a golf course... When you remove all of those factors and all you have is an end (that in real terms serves no actual purpose in life). You try to work out a solution, you try the assumed solution, you apply everything you can but continue to fail. Then, getting from a beginning to an end without knowing how or why isn't by knowledge, it isn't by skill, it isn't by ability, it's by pure chance.

@@dontaskme7004 - Do you call yourself that because no one really wants your opinion because they have no clue what the fuck you're on about?

Did you not notice the 7 second countdown when they weren't talking or the letter t being highlighted when they were talking?

I guess they figured Lee Mack would get the clicks they were after, and Jamali wasn't as big then as he is now, it worked, its at almost 2 million now.

@@MrFarquar they could have used both names though right?

@@daceypearson9731 yep, definitely 👍

Also says you have to start again every time the alarm goes off so no you can't just leg it to the gate with the alarm blaring.
