Taskmaster eccentrics, ranked! 1. Paul Chowdhry, innit? 2. Rhod Gilbert 3. The Venerable Bob Mortimer 4. Sally Phillips 5. Mel (& Shoe) 6. The Additional Handicap of Being David Baddiel 7. Loose Anders 8. Joe Wilkinson 9. Tim Vine - very nice man but fuckin’ weird
Aryllis Thought about Acaster as much of his comedy is set in his own weird little world, but by Taskmaster standards he wasn’t especially unconventional. (Similar for Noel Fielding really, although I’ve never been much of a fan of his anyway.)
They talked about Paul on the podcast Acaster does with Ed Gamble. Greg was actually the guest and they discussed a moment where Paul was asked by the waiter if he wanted still or sparkling water, and Paul, blank faced, went "What'cha recommend?"
Vast majority of tasks are filmed out of sequence and on different days. Which is why during certain tasks weather maybe more of an issue for other contestants. So, Alex will have had a cumulative of 5 hours in a shed, however, most likely not on the same day.
It's an act from beginning to end. Seen him on other things and he's completely different. It's like a piece of genius level performance art. He's just flattened everything. Must've taken some control.
@@chattycathydoll Bastard's actin', innit? I think he's my favourite contestant this series. Greg has a soft spot for him and Paul gets the most laughs out of the other contestants.
@@kimaboe I have yet to see series 8(?) entirely, just a few clips. Joe came across as a bit awkward in those, but I'm guessing there a lot more of that.
Rowan Aboat I just want to see her reaction. I always find myself falling a bit in love with the women on the show, but Mel especially. A fizzy, fuzzy bundle of pure joy. Even if (as you and Greg say) that’s not what Taskmaster’s about.
Best Taskmaster contestant ever. I'm not a huge fan of his stand-up but this program was made for him and his weird mind. Fantastic stuff, thanks Paul for making me cry with laughter!
probably one of the funniest one man tasks I've seen so far. Very similar to what they did to Mel in series 7, they took the most dour contestant and put them in the happiest situation whereas with Mel they took the cheeriest and gave her a nightmare to deal with
There are people who are shit at the task and keep losing, then there's Paul Chowdhry that just fails in such a spectacular way that it becomes good instead.
ohmygod... really only came for the rabbit/bear, totally forgot about the sweat task 🤣literally crying laughing, had to pause until I could breathe again, man's a legend innit.
Hey Taskmaster this is my favourite show, but it doesn’t air in my country, if you could release the rest of the videos to Norway (and I presume the rest of the world wants in too) we would all appreciate it, you’re doing the lords work, thank you! -Your biggest fan
Tyler Burney I’m gonna use daily motion. I’ve only watched taskmaster on a google drive folder twice (one of them being that folder you sent woops) but it would totally suck to get a virus so imma stick w daily motion
I understand not having the full episodes available worldwide but please put the full tasks available worldwide! Get the potato in the golf hole for instance, if I could just send that to my friend I'm sure I'd finally be able to convince them to watch Taskmaster!!
Bridget Christie is the contestant who most closely reflects Paul’s absurdist approach. She’s also the most litigious contestant since Hugh “Desky” Dennis, and the most air headed since Katherine “Am I the Spider” Parkinson, as well as being the contestant who sounds most like Sara Pascoe. Bridget Christie is the ideal Taskmaster contestant.
The best contestants are the ones who everyone else thinks “wtf are you doing!?” but they’re like “this is clearly the only way to do this task”
Helium egg
Scissors, please!
If Paul and Mark Watson had a baby it would be Mike Wozniak
@@MyNameIsNeutronI recognize all these names, but I don't know if I follow the logic
“Bastard’s crying innit” is my favorite line ever. Nothing can ever top that.
"That's harsh" from Doc Brown on the potato red green is a close second for me.
@@KM-br7oq "It would have been all rim and bounced out"
"I was open" is another one.
New series has multiple from Mike that could contend for best line in Taskmaster
"I creamed myself earlier" is also a great quite
I genuinely want the full hour of footage of Paul having fun in the bouncy castle
I want the 45 minutes of Brown Clown in his box, innit.
I wish we got like, twice as much time with Paul as we did.
Dude's too incredible to be stuck in a short season.
A champions of champions series but with all the losers 🤔🤔
@@pearkore6821 YESSSS!
One of the strangest Taskmaster contestants and this is only a tiny glimpse inside his mind

kisbie James Acaster?
@@kisbie disagree on 7, would switch with Lisa. Otherwise spot on.
Aryllis Thought about Acaster as much of his comedy is set in his own weird little world, but by Taskmaster standards he wasn’t especially unconventional. (Similar for Noel Fielding really, although I’ve never been much of a fan of his anyway.)
@@kisbie Bob seems to be insane for more than just comedy purposes
"I'm starting to think we shouldn't be laughing at Paul" lmaooo missed that savage line the first time around
she showed genuine concern for the lad throughout the clip - i dont think she was joking!
I didn’t realise until this how many times Rob and Paul both say “innit”
its a lot innit
They're from London innit
Even when he was asked how long he spent in the box dressed as a clown, I understood his answer as "about 45m, innit?"
They gave Paul all the flack for saying “innit” but mid series I was like “Rob says innit like every 2nd word”
Wait rob said innit?!
Ironically, Paul looked more surprised at Alex's lack of reaction to Brown Clown than Alex did at the sudden appearance of Brown Clown.
Scotty Enn thissssss
“The bastard’s crying, innit?” have to be the four greatest words spoken on television.
Gotta love how Londoners have turned "innit" into a single word lol, and they use it as a crutch even if it doesn't make any sense in the sentence.
The other comics have actual trouble keeping it together around him...that's the most amazing thing about this
Dave's biggest contribution to the series was maybe just his reactions to Paul, priceless
Imagine Paul and James Acaster doing a team task
Joe Wilkinson and Paul Chaudhry??
All three together! They could make a programme about anything, and it would be brilliant to watch
omg i just need them to do a sitcom together tbh
add Rhod just for ambiance
They talked about Paul on the podcast Acaster does with Ed Gamble. Greg was actually the guest and they discussed a moment where Paul was asked by the waiter if he wanted still or sparkling water, and Paul, blank faced, went "What'cha recommend?"
"Why is your sweat that colour?"
Paul: "I creamed myself"
I love how Alex had to wait for a cumulative 5 hours in a shed
A fun day at work.
Or else he didn’t and they were one after the other...
Vast majority of tasks are filmed out of sequence and on different days.

So, Alex will have had a cumulative of 5 hours in a shed, however, most likely not on the same day.
he's what i didn't expect to get from this show, yet easily one of the best...
The man's a mystery to me. He's incredibly funny, yet, at the same time I do genuinely wonder if everything's indeed alright.
It's an act from beginning to end. Seen him on other things and he's completely different. It's like a piece of genius level performance art. He's just flattened everything. Must've taken some control.
@@chattycathydoll Bastard's actin', innit? I think he's my favourite contestant this series. Greg has a soft spot for him and Paul gets the most laughs out of the other contestants.
Yea Def's an act. He's more chill and animated with his stand up. Either way, bastard's amazing innit 😂😂
Between Paul and Joe Thomas, I feel as if there is something about this show that just breaks people ahead of time.
@@kimaboe I have yet to see series 8(?) entirely, just a few clips. Joe came across as a bit awkward in those, but I'm guessing there a lot more of that.
Paul and Romesh have been my favorite contestants, what a maniac.
Treeeeeeeee Wizard!
Just watched series one and Romesh was always a delight - could never tell what he'd do, it'd be no nonsense or absolute madness.
Brown clown
I like how Sara's unamplified laugh was so loud on the studio audio they couldn't edit it out. Just as well, really. It made the entire thing funnier.
5:17, I think that's Rob Beckett
That’s an audience member.
I'm always laughing too hard at that point to be able to hazard a guess as to who's laughing.
10:10 Love how Greg tries to stay angry but cracks at Pauls weirdness
Have the most fun on this bouncy castle, you have 1 hour.
That was the funniest one of those independent tasks
Part of me aches that they didn’t give that one to Mel Giedroyc.
That would have been fun to watch but I also think it would have missed the point of them
Rowan Aboat I just want to see her reaction. I always find myself falling a bit in love with the women on the show, but Mel especially. A fizzy, fuzzy bundle of pure joy. Even if (as you and Greg say) that’s not what Taskmaster’s about.
I want to watch the whole hour
Surely mark Watson’s task has to be up there
'Pretty high, otherwise I wouldn't have tried it' killed me.
"Paul, how are you?"
"Oh, how ya doin', man?"
"... I'm doing better now."
Absolutely one of my favourite Taskmaster moments, haha.
I love how Taskmaster teaches us how most people on telly have such disturbed minds
I thought Joe Wilkinson was weird. Then I came across Paul in Taskmaster
Eww that’s nasty, why would you do that to Paul? 😂
I love how instead of saying "it works with men, too" Paul decided to go with "no but mainly women, innit?"
Best of Paul Chowdry innit
Do you mean to say "Inuit"?
@@robott6696 No - one of the running gags with Paul Chowdry is how he says "innit", as in "Isn't it?".
He radiates the same silent psychopath energy as Bob Mortimer and Hugh Dennis.
Best Taskmaster contestant ever. I'm not a huge fan of his stand-up but this program was made for him and his weird mind. Fantastic stuff, thanks Paul for making me cry with laughter!
probably one of the funniest one man tasks I've seen so far. Very similar to what they did to Mel in series 7, they took the most dour contestant and put them in the happiest situation whereas with Mel they took the cheeriest and gave her a nightmare to deal with
Mel is in series 4
I'm with Greg, I love you Paul. Absolutely amazing.
Paul is a legend. So deaadpan
"I'm gonna ask you a straight question here mate,
ARE YOU BLACKIN UP?"
Greg, man u r litt😂😂😂
I genuinely can't tell when he's accidentally being funny and when it's on purpose.
You know a person's funny when you can hear wheezing behind the camera
"So in that regard, well done" is one of the best delivered lines in the show
Can you imagine Greg telling that to a student back when he was a teacher? I would turn to ashes on the spot.
There are people who are shit at the task and keep losing, then there's Paul Chowdhry that just fails in such a spectacular way that it becomes good instead.
It's full of melon, innit?
i want to see 45 mins of Paul sitting in the box
One of my favourite contestants. All of his "innit..." never ceases to be funny!!
I didn't think Joe Wilkinson could be out-weirded. I was so wrong.
"Well I creamed myself before" in a total deadpan delivery killed me
Paul is a man of few words but everything he says is absolutely hilarious
5:13 the legendary moment
"Paul Chowdhry's Best Taskmaster Moments"
Al Murray walks in
Fitting.
Come on, where's the clip of him trying to justify how cool a clock is by it's ability to be clipped onto a kilt, that was hilarious!
One of the most entertaining contestants to ever be one the show!
ohmygod... really only came for the rabbit/bear, totally forgot about the sweat task 🤣literally crying laughing, had to pause until I could breathe again, man's a legend innit.
he was in the box for 45 minutes 😂
I love his voice and speech pattern. Sexy, yet soothing, and also dour. Hahaha!
I want to see a compilation of the rubber duck or eggs. Something other than just contestants would be cool.
One of my favourites. His snowman was genius 😂

Use a VPN and watch them on UKTV play for free
Dailymotion has most of the episodes for free.

The uktv youtube channel (that has the outtakes) has most videos set to only be avaliable in the uk so, yeah, i'm with you
I'm frankly amazed that box didn't contain Gweneth Paltrow's head
I'm not British but can I declare Paul a national treasure
Paul must be protected at all cost - not just for our sakes, but for his own sake, too.
"I creamed myself before"
Gets me everytime😂
“Al Murray’s gonna win this, that fat --“ lol!
"I creamed myself"

Except it's a rabbit...
"I creamed myself"
"You moisturize your own body, innit?"

white noise and al murray’s grandad letting pauls family into the uk were the funniest imo
Great video. Slightly disappointed that they didn't include Paul's impression of Dave Gorman's children's toy, in the prize task one week.
Nice, taskmaster is the best
8:24 school boy Rob checking the teacher's reaction
You really wanna make me late for work huh?
I truly adore him 😂😂

i think the best way to describe paul is just. he is a cryptid
He should have won first for the slow motion football video. If you think Paul is dumb, the jokes on you. He got the most laughs this series.
funniest contestant by far
Why was season 3 only 5 episodes? 😭
Drugs?
Paul Chowdhry broke it, innit.
that was out of order, man

7:37 John Bonham approves. 🎵🎶
Paul too funny
The best moments of Paul being on taskmaster are the moments I never knew he ever existed until the season, idn't it?
Oh paul!! U are so funny but such an eeyore deep down inside!! U look so inocent when u smile and they are laughing...the
My favourite contestant, right next to Tim Key and Al Murray.
