A talented creator, a talented host, and talented comedians as guests. It would never work with just any people as contestants. Also a lot of very funny editing.
Her sister's trip was either payed for by the show or would now be tax deductible as a working holiday so either way she gets a free flight to the UK and back home.
I don't always watch until the very end when the winner interacts with the prize tasks, but seeing Greg feed that pup was worth it. He definitely should have judged the dog higher, after Britain's 6th Strongest Man, it was definitely the dinner participant he was most happy to see.
I love watching the dog graze at the table. It's probably one of the few times in history when you can't shoo a dog away from a table because he's an invited guest.
Yeah I agree. Jon's has a kind of simplistic beauty to it and would've deserved a second place. Richard's one was creative and funny and looked good too, deserved a win. (and it looked like Katherine couldn't believe that judgment either, based on the look on her face there.)

lmao this episode got all the more funny when Katherine presented the Established Title certificate, considering i JUST watched a video that came out last week exposing ET as a scam
There was another company doing it around this era. They were more legitimate, like they made it clear you couldn't call yourself a Lord on official documents. It was an actual Scottish castle, and they used the money for upkeep on the land. I still think it was a scam in some ways, but it wasn't the big controversy Established Titles was.
42 calippos. The answer to the ultimate question of Life, the Universe, and Everything and icy desserts. I’d say it’s beyond impressive. At the end of the team task Richard sounds like a proud dad with two sons going “Well done, boys.”
I initially thought it was one of those fake sneezes/coughs people do sometimes while they say something, and that I just didn't catch what he said (possibly something snarky about Katherine/her sister, given the timing). I hit the skip backward button to try to make out what he said, only to realize it was an actual sneeze.
14:49 Nothing will ever not make me laugh like Jon Richardson, struggling not to sing, finally singing, and the pose he starts off with as he sings out of key, "DEEEEEEEEEES-PERATOOOOOOOOO!~"
its also not real, you don't get a title, you aren't considered a lord by anyone let alone the UK/Scottland government, or you could go to parliament, but you can't...you have to own the whole property not a square foot, she just shows her stupid she really is...I am renting a room from the King for 200 years, that makes me a Prince King....smf the stupidity of these people. One company has only chinese people, that should tell you something is VERY wrong there, if not an outright scam
nope because the prize was the winner of the episode gets to have dinner with ALL of the guests brought in the by contestants. Since Jon brought the taskmaster as a guest then he (the taskmaster) automatically got a spot for dinner. Now if Jon brought himself in as a guest then he would have automatically been invited to dinner regardless if he won or not, thus the smart thing would have been to bring himself as the guest to dinner so he would have "won" either way.
Every time I see the task to impress a mayor, I always think, "Why didn't any of them just pull out their phones and call up some of the most famous people on it, and do a video call?" Surely the Mayor of Chesham may have wanted to speak to Jimmy Carr, or find out what The Banker from DoND looks like?
How Greg and Alex seem to kind of break character laughing so hard when Katherine squeeks "I chaaanged it" 😂😂😂 Like, they're finding it hilarious and hella scary at the same time 😂
I didn't realize until I heard Richard Osman talk about it on the TM podcast, but Katherine got FIFTEEN full points for that studio task, not just 5 for winning it. They definitely did not make that clear. They must have edited out all the complaining that Jon and Richard did about it!
I wonder if they just expected them to do so much worse, or if they intentionally added a pretty easy single task worth three times more. That’s like a fifth of all points for one task outta 20ish
@@monhi64 Alex said they didn't anticipate that people would take their hats off, that everyone would play like Jon. It's kind of annoying that Katherine got so many points by taking Richard's rabbits but I guess that's the kind of out-of-the-box thinking that the game always rewards.
I love the Tree Wizard tribute with the un-popping balloons for which part of the show on the ad breaks. Tree Wizard makes balloons appear, Tree Wizard...
I just spend a long weekend at my sister's because she had a baby, she has two other kids aged 4 and 2, and so Richard Osman's gift to the Taskmaster really kicked me in the gut. I've got a whole bunch of nieces and nephews (because I have a whole bunch of siblings), and I rarely get tired of children. I hope that child got a forever home full of love very quickly.
its probably the only thing funny shes ever done. She had to go for sexuality over real things to impress the Mayor...and she made us think she changed his name instead of buying something fake. It does not make him a lord so really, it just shows her dumb she is.....but that one scene because of her stupidity, it worked.
@@deecee796 well she could be really crap at it and she’s not. And she definitely could wear flat shoes but chooses to wear heels and still gets the job done-often better than the others. That’s my point.
Personally I would have called what the others did "dropping" or "stuffing" rabbits into a hat, not throwing them. If it were me I would have given Jon points and no one else xD
@@Direultimatum I know that, but throw is defined as, "to propel something with force through the air by a movement of the arm and hand." So it's not bending the rules, it's just playing the game incorrectly, something I was surprised Greg Davies didnt pick up on
@@NDBit Force is the difference between dropping something and throwing something down. It's the reason we have two different verbs: they describe different actions.
You could see the exact second the mayor realized just how many bribes he'd potentially already taken. I'll drink these beers and I'll eat these popsicles, but I draw the line at £15.
He's not a lord. He has a lordship, which is just using an old word to say that he owns land. Anyone who owns a house or any type of land has lordship over it, meaning they have the right to decide what happens to it because its theirs. Having "lordship" over something and actually carrying the royally appointed title of Lord that entitles you to a seat in the House of Lords are two completely different things.
@@CriticalRoleHighlights Actually, you are to a certain boundary allowed to call yourself Lady or Lord. You are allowed to put it on your C.V. and you actually recieve a pass that says that you're now Lady of Glencoe and that your (perhaps unofficial in court, but official enough for everyday-situations) title is now (first name, last name) + Lady of Glencoe, when you buy the part of Scotland. ....I've been told. xxx Emma, Lady of Glencoe

This show is wayyy funnier than it sounds/should be
Direultimatum to be honest I think the reason is because they pick genuinely interesting guests to be on the show
@@everythingexpert4795 Putting comedians in funny situations and just letting them be creative is so simple yet so few shows actually do that.
A talented creator, a talented host, and talented comedians as guests. It would never work with just any people as contestants. Also a lot of very funny editing.
Katherine, an actual famous person: "My sister is a better version of me that everyone likes."
Some things about sisters are apparently universal 😂
You do realise fame isn't a personal quality, right?
I mean, I feel the same way about my own sister
Damn Katherine’s sister really can do the splits
while drinking straight from a champagne bottle, this woman has it all
I was honestly surprised it was her sister - I thought she'd pulled a fast one & took a photo of herself as "her sister"
Her sister's trip was either payed for by the show or would now be tax deductible as a working holiday so either way she gets a free flight to the UK and back home.
@@krashd Being tax deductible doesn't make something free.
- and you are now... LORD GREG DAVIES!
- YESSSS
that was ACTUAL happiness, what a man, bless him
I don't always watch until the very end when the winner interacts with the prize tasks, but seeing Greg feed that pup was worth it. He definitely should have judged the dog higher, after Britain's 6th Strongest Man, it was definitely the dinner participant he was most happy to see.
I love watching the dog graze at the table. It's probably one of the few times in history when you can't shoo a dog away from a table because he's an invited guest.
"he's peter hudson, you know you can trust him" will forever be stuck in my head
Greg. Come on. Osman's Moon Truth was miles better than Jon's film.
Yeah I agree. Jon's has a kind of simplistic beauty to it and would've deserved a second place. Richard's one was creative and funny and looked good too, deserved a win. (and it looked like Katherine couldn't believe that judgment either, based on the look on her face there.)
I agree with Greg
I thought so at first, but the twist in Johns short story took me by surprise a bit more.
But was it more UNEXPECTED?
Yeah, Osman’s was better, I think the sequence of how they showed it kinda made the results.
There's a convenience store worker out there who thinks that Joe Wilkinson is a serial killer after he bought 42 Calippos in their store.
I like to think that worker just randomly thinks back "who the fuck was that guy"
Is Joe not a serial killer?
The implication here is that you can kill someone w/ 42 Calippos
I *do not work* in a convenience store.
Just saying...
@@beek.4860 Well by the time you had worn out the sixth Calippo you would likely have broken the skin at least, you would just need an incredibly slow or immobile victim.
It didn't go unnoticed is probably the funniest line in 12 seasons of taskmaster.
taken out of context, would you say it could be creepy even?
jon richardsons breakdown is simultaniously relatable and one of the funniest bits for me yet
"Built for pleasure, not for speed" is my life motto from now on 😂🤘
Doc Brown was the only one I wasn't familiar with before this series, but he might be one of my favorite contestants overall. He's so likable and charismatic.
I don't know any of them and I am likely to never see them again....outside the one guy from the IT crowd, noel?(not this series) and Sara from the show with Hugh Lorrie(not this series) I don't know who any of them are, and half are just not funny, like twerk girl, she smiles but her face looks paralyzed..what she doing injecting botox every 10 seconds?
@@ravinraven6913you’re seriously salty about Katherine. How many negative comments are you leaving about her? She kick your puppy or something? Lmao yikes.
John does have a great voice, 😯
but I'd say I was most impressed by Richard. That was a great poem, and he memorized it so quickly. The juggling was spot on too 👏👏👏👏👏

God bless the RUclips algorithm which recomended me to watch this show I can't stop watching now
Retweet
the same :)
lmao this episode got all the more funny when Katherine presented the Established Title certificate, considering i JUST watched a video that came out last week exposing ET as a scam
There was another company doing it around this era. They were more legitimate, like they made it clear you couldn't call yourself a Lord on official documents. It was an actual Scottish castle, and they used the money for upkeep on the land. I still think it was a scam in some ways, but it wasn't the big controversy Established Titles was.
Josh coming back for the team task is the best crossover I have ever seen
"Drug People Face" always gets me
42 calippos. The answer to the ultimate question of Life, the Universe, and Everything and icy desserts. I’d say it’s beyond impressive.
At the end of the team task Richard sounds like a proud dad with two sons going “Well done, boys.”
I'm so glad they left Jon's sneeze in at 3:47, just the embarrassment in his voice and face that he sneezed was golden
I initially thought it was one of those fake sneezes/coughs people do sometimes while they say something, and that I just didn't catch what he said (possibly something snarky about Katherine/her sister, given the timing). I hit the skip backward button to try to make out what he said, only to realize it was an actual sneeze.
@@kane2742 Same... so many rewinds and google searches...
I love it whenever Joe wins any round on any of the shows he is on. He is always so happy.
I'm going to save everyone some googling, yes that man was actually the Mayor of Chesham.

@@krashd it's called curiosity
But can we trust him?
37:47 katherine clapping to help doc find her was a stroke of genius
His hair said Calipos to me, is my favorite Taskmaster line.
14:49 Nothing will ever not make me laugh like Jon Richardson, struggling not to sing, finally singing, and the pose he starts off with as he sings out of key, "DEEEEEEEEEES-PERATOOOOOOOOO!~"
Can I just say, I'm genuinely surprised by how well Jon sang considering the lead up to it
You can carbon date this episode by the fact that an Established Titles style of gift was not yet considered gauche
its also not real, you don't get a title, you aren't considered a lord by anyone let alone the UK/Scottland government, or you could go to parliament, but you can't...you have to own the whole property not a square foot, she just shows her stupid she really is...I am renting a room from the King for 200 years, that makes me a Prince King....smf the stupidity of these people.
One company has only chinese people, that should tell you something is VERY wrong there, if not an outright scam
People didn't know it was a scam back then 😂
@@egosling exactly, but if you tried this now that everyone knows it's a scam it wouldn't go over well
Richard: Josh, John needs a potato.
Josh: John needs a potato?
Richard: Yeah.
But Richard couldn't hear???
Holy sh*t I didn't even realize that!
Maybe he can lip read?
I mean he was looking at Josh and it was probably fairly easy to guess that he was just repeating to make sure
But Lord Greg Davies actually ended up going to the dinner so shouldn’t Jon have won
nope because the prize was the winner of the episode gets to have dinner with ALL of the guests brought in the by contestants. Since Jon brought the taskmaster as a guest then he (the taskmaster) automatically got a spot for dinner. Now if Jon brought himself in as a guest then he would have automatically been invited to dinner regardless if he won or not, thus the smart thing would have been to bring himself as the guest to dinner so he would have "won" either way.
A-Disappointed-Sigh then the dinner party would be one individual short.
Every time I see the task to impress a mayor, I always think, "Why didn't any of them just pull out their phones and call up some of the most famous people on it, and do a video call?" Surely the Mayor of Chesham may have wanted to speak to Jimmy Carr, or find out what The Banker from DoND looks like?
Or just say jokes? I mean they are comedians after all...
@@AnnoyedMouse722 Well, and RIchard Osman.
@@AnnoyedMouse722 Would you be impressed if I told you a joke?
Richard Osman honestly just has fun when the others are involved, it's nice
How Greg and Alex seem to kind of break character laughing so hard when Katherine squeeks "I chaaanged it" 😂😂😂 Like, they're finding it hilarious and hella scary at the same time 😂
This is definitely a contender for my favorite RUclips channel.
I didn't realize until I heard Richard Osman talk about it on the TM podcast, but Katherine got FIFTEEN full points for that studio task, not just 5 for winning it. They definitely did not make that clear. They must have edited out all the complaining that Jon and Richard did about it!
It was kinda unfair.
The task said one.point for every rabbit in the hat.
I wonder if they just expected them to do so much worse, or if they intentionally added a pretty easy single task worth three times more. That’s like a fifth of all points for one task outta 20ish
@@monhi64 Alex said they didn't anticipate that people would take their hats off, that everyone would play like Jon. It's kind of annoying that Katherine got so many points by taking Richard's rabbits but I guess that's the kind of out-of-the-box thinking that the game always rewards.
At least it meant Joe Wilkinson finished with 25 points, otherwise he’s probably in the running for lowest scoring contestant of all time lol
I love the Tree Wizard tribute with the un-popping balloons for which part of the show on the ad breaks. Tree Wizard makes balloons appear, Tree Wizard...
when josh came back i thought i was hallucinating
I just spend a long weekend at my sister's because she had a baby, she has two other kids aged 4 and 2, and so Richard Osman's gift to the Taskmaster really kicked me in the gut. I've got a whole bunch of nieces and nephews (because I have a whole bunch of siblings), and I rarely get tired of children. I hope that child got a forever home full of love very quickly.
Alex loses it after "I chaaanged it." Love that!! He is very good at not showing emotion but that got him!!
I am now completely addicted to this show.
Whats your name? Greg! Nooooooo . Yeeeeees .
I changed it :)
im so dead right now!
I'm addicted to British game shows. Every single one of them are so hilarious! Thank you for uploading this!
I love how osmond guilted the win
Still giggling at Katherine’s “What’s your name?” “..Greg” “No it’s not (singsong) I changed it” and Greg’s genuinely surprised laughter that followed
its probably the only thing funny shes ever done. She had to go for sexuality over real things to impress the Mayor...and she made us think she changed his name instead of buying something fake. It does not make him a lord so really, it just shows her dumb she is.....but that one scene because of her stupidity, it worked.
Fav highlights
30:50 "So whats your name"
"...Greg"
"No.."
"..yes"
"I changed it"
it's a travesty that we got so few episodes of this group
Katherine always wears incredible dresses and heels and does everything the boys do 🙌
Well... She kinda has to no?
@@deecee796 well she could be really crap at it and she’s not. And she definitely could wear flat shoes but chooses to wear heels and still gets the job done-often better than the others. That’s my point.
People who wear heels should be scolded, not praised. Those "shoes" are the worst thing you could do to your feet, just shy of cutting them off.
Everything the boys do? She failed to achieve egg.
Personally I would have called what the others did "dropping" or "stuffing" rabbits into a hat, not throwing them. If it were me I would have given Jon points and no one else xD
This show is all about bending the rules as much as you can without breaking them
@@Direultimatum I know that, but throw is defined as, "to propel something with force through the air by a movement of the arm and hand." So it's not bending the rules, it's just playing the game incorrectly, something I was surprised Greg Davies didnt pick up on
They messed up by not adding the caveat that they cant take off their hats
@@anthonygarcia6229 And force is a relative term too
What are you, Murican
@@NDBit Force is the difference between dropping something and throwing something down. It's the reason we have two different verbs: they describe different actions.
You could see the exact second the mayor realized just how many bribes he'd potentially already taken. I'll drink these beers and I'll eat these popsicles, but I draw the line at £15.
I just checked Greg's wikipedia page and it doesn't his Lordship. Someone get on that.
Yep, what's up with that?
He's not a lord. He has a lordship, which is just using an old word to say that he owns land. Anyone who owns a house or any type of land has lordship over it, meaning they have the right to decide what happens to it because its theirs.
Having "lordship" over something and actually carrying the royally appointed title of Lord that entitles you to a seat in the House of Lords are two completely different things.
@@CriticalRoleHighlights But what if I've never seen a diamond in the flesh?
@@CriticalRoleHighlights
Actually, you are to a certain boundary allowed to call yourself Lady or Lord.
You are allowed to put it on your C.V. and you actually recieve a pass that says that you're now Lady of Glencoe and that your (perhaps unofficial in court, but official enough for everyday-situations) title is now (first name, last name) + Lady of Glencoe, when you buy the part of Scotland.
....I've been told.
xxx Emma, Lady of Glencoe
www.wikihow.com/Become-a-Lord :
"Purchasing a novelty title is just for fun. It doesn't convey any special privileges on you. Heck, you can even start referring to yourself as "Lord" without purchasing a title."
"Under United Kingdom law, you're legally allowed to call yourself whatever you want [...]"
Many highlights to this episode: "mad helmet murderer," "What's your name? I changed it!" everything involving the mayor, artful shadow films.
I love how Joe just sits there starting into space with his mouth hanging open.
This is my new favorite TV show, 10/10. I'd say I want an American port but no, I just want to see John Mulaney trying this
There was an american version but it failed and was cancelled after 1 series
@@alexhoulihan1176 as with 99% of all British-to-American TV adaptations. Somehow they never learn.
If they can import Katherine Ryan, they can import John Mulaney. Whether they´d be able to afford Mulaney I don´t know. But they could ask!
Mullaney or Bill Hader would be hilarious in something like this!
They need the Wait Wait Don’t Tell Me crowd. Paula Poundstone, Mo Rocca, Bobcat Goldthwait…
Jon should've impressed the Mayor with his Countdown skills. That's the edge he has over his rivals.
I was almost like "is that Jimmy Carr sat in the audience?!" @ 27:24 ... that laugh
ALMOST
"I've got to. For my public." - gets me every time
I come back to it twice a year just to wheeze at it again
I can't tell you how happy I am that I can watch these. Living in China I really miss UK TV. This is a Godsend and what's more, so funny I keep laughing out loud. Thank you!
