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.

The fact that Joe got completely disqualified for accidentally barely touching the red green on the potato throw, whereas Tim knowingly and willingly cheated, and tried to cover it up, merely got bumped to last place, is one of the greatest injustices ever put to screen.
I think in Series 1 Greg was still finding his feet and didn’t know how harsh to be. He’s got more strict as the series have gone on!
@@HerHollyness Yeah, it was the very first episode at that. Ed and Alex discussed it on the this week's podcast, and they agreed that it was down to Greg still establishing how mean he could be, after all, it was a bit of a risk already. Any other series and Tim is disqualified straight away.
Made for great telly though...
its joe wilkinson, tho. its kinda par for the course for him to be unfortunate :P
The difference was 1 point! Hardly "...one of the greatest injustices...".
Joe's potato throw was the saddest moment of this show. "Please don't take it away from me" 😂
It's right up there with Mark Watson's texts, James Acaster's hula hoop, and Vegas' house of cards
Mark Watson's face when he doesn't get any points for the text messages gets me every time.
The best part of it was cut from this clip, where they let everyone vote on it and Doc Brown voted against but then acted disgusted when he was disqualified.
@@TheodoreBotman Yeah, I noticed they cut that bit, it adds some needed context to his comment.
The saddest moment in television
Only on Taskmaster could they take footage of a man throwing a potato into a hole and turn it into one of the best pieces of television in the last 10 years.
If that is the best piece of British television in the last 10 years, that's just sad.
@@Smileybeeblevrox yeah, its a little overdramatic to say that its the best piece of British television in the past 10 years
@@Smileybeeblevrox who said british?
@@steve8802 Well it sure as shit isn't one of the best pieces of television anywhere else in the world
Carrot in a box is pretty good
The potato scene is genuinely one of the most dramatic things ever on television. Who needs Line of Duty when you've got an action replay of Joe's big toe touching a red green.
It's the most exciting bit of sport I've ever seen in my life
@@AdamRhodes536 I came here to say exactly this. Jon's off-hand, but VERY true comment is what make this so very epic.
It physically hurts me everytime I see this.... poor Joe.
I can't get over how genuinely desperate and heartbroken his voice sounds when he says the line "Please don't take this away from me".
Look at Alex joining in with the standing ovation knowing full well that he’s about to destroy a man’s soul.
The absolute heartbreak of Joe Wilkinson and the potato golf toss.
One of the greatest television moments of all time.
The most Joe Wilkinson thing to ever happen to Joe Wilkinson.
Thrill of victory and agony of defeat.
"Please don't take it away from me"
Shaka, when the walls fell
Very underrated quote when Mel says, "What does that mean, does he have to leave?" Cracks me up every time
It's just the deadpan delivery that makes it so great.
Reminded of "I still get paid for the show though, right?"
She was so earnest. I laugh every time i hear that line
Imagine poor Joe, for months waiting for everyone to see his one moment of excellence, only to have it taken away from him because of an inch of shoe on a red carpet.
God, just when I didn't think this could get sadder you bring out this
but tf's up with everyone saying "red green"? I realize this show is with those "people" but you're mashing the names of two colors together. It's wrong & all who do it should be put down.
@@theeffectoflogic3 But it is a golf green, and it is red, so red green. What should they call it?
@@philip1382 then you've located the problem; don't call the shit a "green". "turf" is a much better option.
@@theeffectoflogic3 ...But it's a golf hole, and a golf course is a green? Ergo, red green? Nobody calls anything a golf turf. Edit: Logic is understanding that "green" is both a colour and the name of a region in the golf context. The rough may normally be green in colour as well, but it's not correct to refer to it as the green.
I've said it so many times, VAR is ruining potato golf.
LOL
I thought when I saw Mark Watson’s task being disqualified after he only set a 148 texts to the TM instead of 150 was heartbreaking....
Until poor ol’ Joe
Same here. I felt genuinely sorry for Mark but not as much as I did for Joe. I felt he should have got 1 point just for the single, successful attempt. "Please don't take it away from me" will ring through the years of Taskmaster history.
The thing is, I believe he didn't even touch the red mat. His shoe hovered over it
@@teeweezeven omg this makes it worse why did you even say this
@@teeweezeven as well as the fact that in the video for the full task, other ppl touched the red too :(( doc i think
It's only individual task though.
"Sometimes you have to crush dreams..."
-Greg Davies, former teacher.
The replay on Joe's throw is, to this day, one of the best TV moments. The raw emotions from everyone.
Wish you’d kept in Doc arguing against Joe behind his back before supporting him to his face
Nothin' but rim
I hate him because of that.
@@Tkieron calm down mate
Joe literally didn't give a shit it was all for the content
@@willnewton706 Joe could also CLEARLY tell based on how Doc said it and the audience reaction that he was supporting him to his face AS a joke, and would have been in support of it, it's part of pleasing the audience, you'd be a shit improv partner to get pissy about it (unless your pissiness was also funny)
joe getting disqualified for having his foot the slightest bit over is heartbreaking that potato throw was mad
Wasnt the slightest bit imo. It kinda looked like most of the toes were stepping on it.
Still heartbreaking though
Joe’s potato one pisses me off every time I watch it, especially because of the smug explanation given by Doc. “If you were to take those couple centimeters away (…) it’d be all rim and bounce out.” No the f*ck it wouldn’t. The throw is determined by the upper body, not the toe placement. Not only that, but look at the shoes of someone who is standing. Notice how most shoes curve UP at the toes? That means he very likely wasn’t even touching the red green to begin with.
I get that it was a vote, so he can choose any reason he wants to vote no, but the smugness of the “if you were to take those couple of centimeters that he gains…” really bothers me. I have a hard time with injustices (ADHD), even fictional ones. I don’t even think it should have been a vote to begin with, though, because shoes curve up at the toe. The overlap isn’t more than a few millimeters, MAYBE a couple centimeters. Either way, it isn’t enough to be touching the green.
Mel asking if Hugh had to leave the show was such a funny moment, especially because Mel genuinely seemed like she was worried about Hugh
7:30 "A blood-covered loaf of bread in the wrong room." That sounds like an unreleased Agatha Christie novel. Someone, please write that. I will pay money for it.
There once was a girl in a caravan...
@@yomama4233 ...go on...
@@megaverner who came across a mysterious loaf of bread. Could it be connected to the murder?...
What murder? You haven't set up ANYTHING in the story and you're already going there? I'm going to have to disqualify you for that.
'Without touching the fishbowl' is fucking hilarious. Wish it was included.
Seriously that was probably my second favorite of all (after Joe's potato of course)
Not to forget, “without eating the chocolate”...
Joe remains the saddest moment in Taskmaster history... And it wasn't even his half-brother Fabios fault
🤣🤣🤣

Joe's potato moment has to be the most hilarious and saddest moment in television history.
Joe getting disqualified was brutal. He was so bad at everything else at the game and the one impressive thing he did ended up not counting.
‘What does that mean; does he have to leave?!’ I love Mel so so much.
Alternativly, this could have been just a full recap of series 10.
Series 10 was the biggest let down of 2020. I don't say that lightly.
@@ruqayyahqadri8180 Having a charmed old life aren't we
@@SundaraRamanR Aye, just hated series 10.
@@ruqayyahqadri8180 series 10 might well be the best series yet!! what did you not enjoy about it?
@@riley6646 the group had 0 chemistry, Daisy was really irritating and Katherine always looked like she was about to cry. The Christmas/New Year special was better than the whole of S10.
Aisling looks legit upset. She's like "I cut my f*cking hand for this."
Dude it got worse
Can't believe Mark Watson being disqualified for missing 1 in ~100 days of cheeky texts to Greg is not in here
Loved that, but it wasn't an official show task just a side bit of fun
2 out of 150
1 out of 75
@@quikxfl still worth a point.
Maybe my favorite one that they missed, which I believe does count as a disqualification, is when Mark Watson wasn't given any points after he only wrote 148 cheeky texts. He genuinely looked like he was going to cry.
I thiiiink that's moreso failing at the task than an outright disqualification y'know?
I'd like an edit of all the times the answer of the task was secretly written somewhere or there was an extra clue. Like the 8 on the caravan, or 'debajo de la mesa', or the task where they had to memorize things and those things were written in small letters on the back of the task.
series 2 with under the table
written on the top of the door frame, on the boat and a screen on the opposite side of the table
They took your suggestion
@@cole003f was thinking of that one here for the first one. "You must all remain on the red carpet throughout the task." Well if things taped to the bottom of the table still counted as "on the table" then here 1 he still had a foot on the carpet and 2 they should have been allowed to pick up the carpet and walk there as long as they were always in contact with it.
Lose 5 points if you eat the chocolate on the table written on the back of the task letter.
Joe is still the people's champion of potato golf.
I only just realized that Mel's question about whether Hugh has to leave after being disqualified is probably from her expectations from Bakeoff.
I think it was probably just a joke
...you thought she was being serious?
@@ruqayyahqadri8180 she was definitely being serious
@@chelseawildflowerloftinwey1945 hahaha, no
Nothing will ever top Joe's potatoes throw
Russell Howard's cricket task
@@Kernel15 That's good but it's no potato. I'd say Mark Watson's texting to Greg is closest to Joe's throw but Joe still wins. :-)
Ever.
@@Kernel15 yea... It's going to touch the potaTOE
When they showed that Joe had touched the red green, Jon was the only one who put up both his arms and yelled in happiness. What a friend! Lol
Shame it's not on here, but I liked Dave Gorman's tea in bucket disqualification. And then in the latest series, when EVERYONE got disqualified...
I feel like everyone got disqualified from a task in each episode in the last series lol
@@dreads9536 In Series 10, everyone ended up disqualified in three separate tasks, and two of those were in the first episode alone!
"Why is it grey?"
The best thing about Dave Gorman’s tea in the bucket, as they pointed out on the show, is that: he had the presence of mind to cheat, by tipping the tea out of his CUP to add to the contents; but, at no point during the task, did he think about using that very same CUP to transport the water to the other bucket, which just made the attempted cheat even more embarrassing…poor old Dave haha.
Did you cheat?
"What does that mean? Does he have to leave?"
We love you, Mel. You & Desky 👍🏻
What about the one in season 10 were they weren't allowed to touch the red green and everyone got disqualified- a first in taskmaster history
It's somehow not sad at all when they ALL get disqualified.
These compilation videos all seem to stay clear of the current/latest series, so I wasn't expecting anything from 10.
The first task of S10 had the same outcome. Alex admitted he messed up with that one, as the wording of the rules made it almost impossible NOT to get DQ.
Or the one task where they had to make the bag hold as much weight as possible and only the bag was supposed to hold the weight. One person had something else helping hold the weight and they totally ignored that rule when they judged the task.
what episode?
"sometimes you gotta crush dreams" - the alternate title of this video
That potato throw never fails to put me through an emotional rollercoaster. Probably one of the absolute best moments on television, closely followed by Mark and Nish singing their song to Roselind.
Taskmaster is the best!
Just remember that the studio recording and the tasks being completed are weeks apart. So Joe spent all that time thinking he had done something great. It hits so much harder when you consider that he probably talked about it so much
Noel absolutely launching that canister still is both hilarious and nerve-wracking
the funniest disqualification was when lolly touched the fishbowls and they repeated the clip over and over during her recap 😂
"Sometimes you've got to crush dreams."
That's one of the most tragic lines in all of Taskmaster. It's just painful to listen to.
The Joe Wilkinson potato toss is definitely one of the most classic moments in the entire show.
Jon is so competitive lol. He cheered when he saw that Joe stepped on the red green
Still think about Joe's potato throwing moment, just sheer heartbreak. The tip of his shoe curved up so I still feel he shouldnt have been disqualified. However, it is also one of the best Taskmaster moments and made even better by Doc's "All rim and bounced out" betrayal.
I see everyone seem to have gotten drawn in by Joe Wilkinson's face because we all know it's the potato moment
I will never not laugh at Joe’s potato throw. It is arguably the bit that made the show so popular and propelled it to so many more viewers
Stuffed animals, whether foxes or camels, are not safe around Noel Fielding; they are very likely to be disemboweled.
"You may not move the hoops (echoing)...."
"He's back"
You could probably fill this whole video with stuff from season 10. Everyone being disqualified on the first task because they spilled the drinks. Everyone stepping on the red green later. Mawaan moving the hoops. Daisy and Catherine hitting the robots in the remote control task. Mawaan using the washing machine in the marble run. Johhny And Catherine in the beermat task. And then Daisy in the final studio task.
The lack of Dave Gorman's sneaky moments as well as the moments of silence are greatly missed, but I still love this video. Even had to somewhat skip Joe's potato moment as I couldn't bear watching it again
Lolly's disqualification wasn't on here. That was funny as hell 😆
Yes, "You may not move the fish bowl"
Potato-Gate remains one of the best pieces of TV I've seen in years. It's the perfect set-up, how Greg and Alex let him bask in his moment of glory is painful. And my favourite bit is that there is definitely a part when they both look at each other with an expression that said "Shit, I think we might have taken this too far".
Gold.
No mention of the "without moving the bowls" task?
between lolly's DQ and hugh's grumbling about accents it was one of my favorite tasks
Another reason to witness Potatogate
We'll just call it the moment...the potaTOE moment
boil em, smash em, stick em in a stew
Fully expected "Without moving the fishbowls."
The discussion of the other contestants were cut out for Joe's potato task. Doc Brown and Jon Richardson's argument for why Joe shouldn't get the point is a realistic example of how nobody else will help you become successful.
Jessica Knappett actually lost the series because of this disqualification. She needed only 1 more point for a tie with Kerry Godliman.
Disagree about ur arguement about Doc and Jon. I think them not helping him get points for the task was more of their competitiveness and just wanting to gain an advantage. If ur in a competition and u have a chance to deduct points of ur enemy u would definitely take that chance or atleast consider it. Had it been a team task they prolly wouldve defended it.
We can also make that arguemeny that its quite funny or more entertaining for TV to have joe go last since he always goes last in the tasks.
Jessica Knappet has a stage named after her on TM... Whether she won the series or not...she got the bigger prize...😹😹😹
Noel ripping the fox a new one is the funniest thing I've seen in a while
"Sometimes you've got to crush dreams."
Have to respect Greg's resolve 😂
noel, joe, and lolli are the best team there ever was on this whole entire show
Mel and Hugh were the cutest!
That whole season was so good, I loved both teams so much.
Joe being disqualified for the tiniest bit of foot that was in the red green was bloody heartless. That potato throw was amazing
Joe Wilkinson's potato and Mawaan's marble in the washing machine were the biggest robs in the history of the show in my opinion
I knew with the Mawaan one he was going to either win the task or get DQd lol
Absolute tv gold Joe touching the red green
Watching them all sitting bunched up together feels so weird.
"This is our moment!"
-- Mark Watson
Joes disqualification was so hearbreaking i felt it in my soul.
I was genuinely so sad when Joe was disqualified. Heartbreaking and I never thought I would say that about anything on Taskmaster.
Johnny Vegas' one is so much more sad and cruel. Surprised it wasn't in this video.
Joe's potato throw and Mark's cheeky texts break my heart every time
My favourite DQ, other than potato-throw was the task when Aisling forgot to shake Alex's hand before spending ages stacking the cans and naming countries. I wish they'd shown a sped-up version of her doing the task before revealing she'd been DQ though.
That's a good one. I also don't actually believe they didn't realize she'd already failed, I'm confident Alex knew but let her keep going because it would be good telly.
We all know that the graphic representation of heartbreak, is the face of Joe Wilkinson that you put on the thumbnail...
I'm amazed "Without moving the fishbowls..." didn't make this compilation
Joe Wilkinson's potatoe throw is arguably Top 10 Iconic Moments on this show
3:40 HE genuinely genuinely didn't want that taken away from him!! you can tell he was waiting for this moment where they show the throw for a loooong time, this was HIS MOMENT. LOOL
This show is f...ing BRILLIANT! Please make it forever.
The potato throw, reminds me of triple jump, or long jump when they do a really amazing jump, and then they do the replay only to discover it was not allowed, the reaction was very accurate. If you just took the reaction, it was almost like a sportsman who did a world record performance before being taking away just for stepping just a little too far. Or in rugby when they do an amazing try, only for them to be off side or forward pass.
Alex Horne's face is a picture while Joe was celebrating his potato toss ... he knew what was coming and still joined in hahaha brilliant moment
When I tell family and friends to check out Taskmaster, I always send them to the potato task video. I've watched that task over and over and over. Whenever it pops up in RUclips suggestions, I watch it. Never gets old.
Joe making that shot like that even though he got disqualified is both the worst upset and best thing ever to happen on taskmaster
I loved Mel's "does he have to leave?"
Yes, Potatogate. . .
But Knappett got DQ'd on a PRIZE TASK! This may never be matched!
WAIT! Gilbert got dropped on the same task for his Spice Girls picture. It is still the only prize task that anyone has ever been DQ'd on.
the BEST part of the Joe disquali was the fact they let it go on sooo long.. had all the celebrations and then immediately pulled the rug out from under him. Comedy at it's finest.
Joe didn't touch it, his shoe did
The Joe Wilkinson one is just heartbreaking because he nailed it so perfectly.
the "WIDE AWAKE" bit for jess's prize task is such an underrated taskmaster moment lmaooo (also its very strange now seeing everyone sitting so close together ... )
I took one look at the thumbnail and quietly said to myself "Oh... the potato..." in such a sad voice lmao. It truly was a sad moment though
Doc’s rebuttal of “it would’ve been all rim and out” is beautifully poetic. But I’m in concurrence with everyone else the rollercoaster of emotion of Joe’s potato throw is some of the best television I’ve ever seen.
The cry of don't take it away from me is Story of my life 😂❤️
Aisling's attempt to cut the loaf of bread hits different in a post Bean Dad world.
"Can I... please don't take it away from me."
"That's a really empassioned and eloquent argument, yet it makes me more inclined to take it off him!"
This show is one of a kind lmao
Joe Wilkinsons disqualification is the greatest piece of television in history...
3:43 I love Greg and Alex completely break character 😂
Wilkinson's potato has to be my favorite TV moment, ever. And I'm not even British
You should have included the task in series 10 where everyone got DQd.
Which one? Felt like half of them
@@EngineerLume The one where they had to fill the cup on top of the pole.
@@RickeGnool Oh, THAT one. Yeah, that was fucking hilarious
@@RickeGnool Everyone seems to have forgotten that it happened TWICE in S10. The very first task of the series they all got scrubbed off as well. “Daisy’s gonna win tonight just because she brought in a bottle of wine!”
@@kisbie I actually do remember that BUT that moment just wasn't as funny or memorable.
4:43 Possibly the best volte-face in the whole of Taskmaster.
Oh this first one was so heart breaking
As an American, I am really sad I haven’t seen this show before and I’m really glad there’s so much of it on RUclips.
They couldn't include series 10 because it would just be a re-upload of the entire series
How can you not love this show! Brilliant!
these are fantastic but I can't believe we're not going to talk about mark watson's 148 cheeky texts. also honorable mention to james acaster's hula hooping
Greg is so much more positive in the earlier series' and tries to help the more nervous contestants with their debating
The Dave Gorman one with the bucket of water is a good one as well.
Love that the group just started throwing everything in the end 14:14
I love that in the “cutting bread” task, it wasn’t just her that got DIS. It was also 2 other contestants, making only the two other people there actually allowed to get ANY points.
