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.

They seem to work Joe's potato toss into every other compilation, and yet I never tire of watching it.
IMO it's the best moment in TM history.
@@Elwaves2925 in TV history.
Certainly in the history of sport.
And I will never NOT be angry about it!
@@SourGir1986 I may under no cirumstances, not avoid, not feel that I should not under no time be angry about that the throw is disqualified. (I'm rewatching Series 12 atm so I'm trying to get more than 3-4 negations in a sentence xD) (I am trying to say I will always be angry that the throw got disqualified xD)
Joe's potato throw is even more devastating knowing that between that throw and the studio show there might be months of Joe thinking that he absolutely nailed that.
Oh, you just know he spent all that time coming up with the best celebration for the studio show, only to have it all cruelly ripped away from him...
OH I hadn't even thought of that
“Piece of piss!” To quote Desiree Burch, from Series 12, “That’s karma, boo.”
I hope it's some consolation that it's still the most iconic Taskmaster moment from the entire run of the show
I work
Joe “The Spud Sniper” Wilkinson potato toss in my home fucking movies…
Kid being born “screaming, straining, then face like she’s trying squat a building… baby’s head SMASH CUT joes spud shot and cut back to see my new born laying on the table”
Birthday part “ singing the song, song end kid takes deep breath with pure joy beaming from the face….BANG Joe spud shot, back to the kid with candles smoking and them wondering if blowing out the candles is it….
Weeding video “just Joe spud shot after an I do cus there boring as fuck”
See how fucking epic that is…
And that’s from a guy who’s never directed a night time pee successfully start to finish let alone a movie..
Joe's potato is undoubtedly a sad moment, but Mark spending five months texting Greg for absolutely no reward is just that much worse
Idk. Sure, mark was sending all those texts, but Joe was sitting on that accomplishment of the potato throw for months, excitedly waiting for it to be revealed only to have it torn from him
I wouldn't be surprised if Greg and Alex took Mark out to dinner for all that texting.
@@jonhohensee3258 Alex and Mark are actually good friends and according to Alex (either I’ve read or heard on the podcast) Mark was a bit miffed at Alex after the show. But ultimately he came to realise it’s part of the game. And ultimately the Mark Texts and his Zero score have become part of Taskmaster lore, more so than if he had actually gotten points. Mark himself has said that the texts and his song with Nish are the two things he’s most recognised for and asked about regarding TM.
@@rada9748 So?
@@rada9748 thank you, love the background.
This is why it works because we are British. Poking fun is just how we love.
"I have a 17 year old, and he's never going to speak to me after this."
"So be it."
😂😂😂
It could just be the editing but the zero hesitation kills me every time 😂
the dude was almost crying 😭😭he deserves a point!!
I think by focusing on Greg we miss the true savage here: Little Alex Horne, preparing his book of "only 148" texts, knowing he's going to devastate Joe, snitching on all the contestants. He's the real monster
Yes. In the episode, where in the prize category, Rhod had brought as one of the “worst gifts ever received,” that tree-like ornament, which had been gifted to him by his wife and which prior to that had been gifted to Rhod’s wife by Greg, there was a savage Alex moment. Jessica Knappet had won the prize category and at the end of the show, she is seen posing with the various prizes and she jokingly threatens to drop the ornament. Both Rhod and Greg look aghast and jump up to stop her, but she had also looked at Alex, the power behind the throne. Alex gave a small nod, and she dropped it! To the real dismay and shock of Rhod and Greg, who ends the show, saying he can’t believe she did that.
The ornament was subsequently repaired and glued together by the production team but that destruction was all at the hands of Alex.
That's the format. In order for Alex to torment and humiliate the contestants as he does, he has to make sure he doesn't be seen as a malicious bully. So, he camoflages himself as a servant to Greg.
You can SEE it in Joes eyes, the "Laugh on the outside, cry on the inside" face, dear god
Why do you keep calling Mark Joe?
One of the reasons British Taskmaster works so well, and others have never seemed to live up to the original, is Greg's natural presence as the teacher you don't want to cross, who isn't afraid to fail the whole class instead of grading on a curve.
That's what being an actual teacher does to someone. He's taught drama in theatre for over over a decade iirc.
@@nivyan Yes, that's what I'm referring to.
@@sammarks9146 ...oh...
...I might need some helping getting this window open so I can jump out of it... actually never mind, I'll just go... yeah... bye
Well said. And very true. Not sure if it's his physical size or his attitude, but he just seems like the last person you want to have judging you. Him laughing and being benevolent once in a while actually makes his TM presence all the more unsettling as you never know what to expect. There's always a glimmer of hope mingled with fear lol
@@ReadyMindsetGo He literally was a teacher before he got into comedy.
Joe's initial "please don't take this away from me" was genuinely one of the funniest things I have seen on any television show ever.
For me it’s when Joe is on Outsiders and says “what’s the thing I’m most frightened of here? Stampedes”.
I would like to pitch "That is harsh" right after xD
"What a terrible waste of time." Never fails to make me laugh.
I'm a fan of Victoria's "what an excellent use of our finite time" myself
@@hjt091 Probably a line she got from her husband
The complete randomness and unfairness of the scoring is one of the things that makes this show so hilarious
The joy on Alex's face when Joe says "please don't take it away from me" is so pure. 9:32
The face of a man who knew his show had just had the moment which would make or break it.
The timestamp is appreciated, thank you!
That potato is gonna haunt Joe for the rest of his life
He could start a self help group with John as he is gonna be haunted by a carrot of the rest of his life. They can be the root vegetable victim group.
@@blackm4niac This would be a good story for Bob Mortimer to narrate on WILTY and drive David mad.
I wonder if it was one of the potatoes that Fern Brady thought she had met before?
Johnny Vegas is the single most endearing character I've seen on any TV show ever.
Doc's ' That is harsh' is probably the best line of the whole series in it's entirety ahahaha!
Such an underrated line 😂
The audacity.
Sally giving Mark a hug is wonderful. Just wonderful.
I would LOVE a hug from her myself.
Give me a water cooler moment with her any day
I love the moment of silence like the teacher being disappointed in the students and yet they all start giggling and laughing . . . It's actually quite wonderful.
Genuinely still gutted when Johnny’s card villa topples and Joe touches the red green 🤣🤣😂
I love Greg when he acts like a teacher! 😂 when he is standing there staring them down in silent disappointment! 😂❤😂
Thank you. Mother loved the show. I was showing her Season 2 when she was diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer. She passed today a year ago. RIP Mother. Long Live Taskmaster. (From PA, USA)
my condolences, your mam had good taste! ❤
Much love to you, this show does more for people than many realise! 💖
So sorry about your mum. I hope you're doing okay on this day ❤
I'm so sorry for your loss. I'm sure today is really tough. I hope you have this and lots of other good memories to help ease your way. ❤
Sorry for your loss. I'm glad that TM brought her some joy in the end.
Joe somehow gave us the single highest high and lowest low. The man's an enigma and his storyline should be optioned in Hollywood 😂😂
Joe's potato throw is always a pleasure. He's the perfect contestant for it to happen to as it plays to his character well
the look on Alex's face when Joe is celebrating knowing what is coming
Any video which includes Joe Wilkinson's potato throw is a good video.
As an American can I say thank you to you Brits for shows like this. Idk how many shows I watch from your country but I enjoy all of them. Thanks for uploading for all of us who don’t see these in our country.
We love that it is free for all to enjoy. The lockdown tasks was just the icing on the cake.
Seconded! I get to see the show in Spain. Always waiting for the next series to start!
the famous red green, the bane of the contestants
And possibly some colourblind members of the audience..
The terms still messes with my mind, and I've been watching since it first started airing! I guess maybe it's a dyslexia thing, but I just can't process it quickly
Everytime I see the potato throw, EVERYTIME, I'm hopeful that Greg will give Joe the points he rightfully deserves. 😢
I felt really bad for Johnny. He sounded like he was about to start sobbing for a second.
Definitely missing Hugh Dennis' dance being termed "horseshit"
Doc Brown's "that's harsh" is one of the most savage moments.
We fought for you, mate.
We all are in eternal debt towards the genious that's LITTLE ALEX HORNE. All hail.
It is truly a marvel of a programme. From humble beginnings a formidable beast has grown and that's just Greg.
Joe's potato throw never gets any less devastating!
I know lots doesn't make the final edit, but I really want to know if Greg decided right then to allow the others to decide Joe's fate, or if it took a while and the producers or Alex came up with that.
But if it was all Greg, I really love that flex of his Taskmaster powers. To just say, in the second series of the show, "I'm the taskmaster, I do what I want"
The Joe Wilkinson potato throw is the single best clip of the whole show through all series.... the emotional angst is hilariously heart breaking :)
He might not have got any points, but even better he got a hug from Sally.
That minx
_"please don't take it away from me"_
Surprised 'Horseshit' wasn't on here, or many Hugh moments to be honest.
Except Cloud Appreciation Society. That was one of the most well-deserved 1 pointers in prize task history.
Joe's potato toss is a tragic miscarriage of justice especially because Joe never *actually* touched the red green.
When you look at the shot from when he's actually doing the task, his shoe is clearly still only contacting the concrete.
At best the tip of his shoe is maybe overhanging the red green a tiny amount. More than anything it's the overhead camera angle that makes it look like he's on it.
Justice for Joe
Oh dear, here we go again. 😁
It's a little more than just the tip, at least three toe ends are over the green, maybe the big toe too. It's not a lot but it's enough. If those toes were overhanging as you claim, there would be more shadow visible. Even if it was overhanging, as soon as he leans forward to take the shot, which he clearly does in the first clip, his weight would transfer to those toes meaning they had to be touching the green. It's unavoidable. The angle used is likely because it's the only one that showed it clearly enough but it doesn't disaprove anything. That's not even accounting for Alex's POV or that of any of the many crew members all there watching him throw.
I wanted to Joe to get the points in spite of this but it wasn't to be. The facts back up the decision that he touched the green.
@@Elwaves2925 You can clearly see Joe's shoes earlier in the task or any other, they curl up on the front. When he walks, his heel leaves the ground before the front of his shoe rolls downward and contacts the floor. Meaning while standing flat, the tip of his shoe is still curled upward and away from the ground.
When he throws the potato, his heel never leaves the ground meaning he's putting the weight more on the front pad of his foot but still the whole base of the foot nonetheless, not his toes. Which means his shoes would've still be overhanging the red green but not touching.
Justice for Joe
@@Beefyrulz Except the close up of his foot shows that when standing there is a clear shadow beneath the front of his foot. A shadow which is not there when he's on the red green. Justice has been served.
I've always subscribed to what I call the winkle-picker defence, but I wonder would the task be so legendary if the decision was very clearly one way or the other? Maybe not being 100% on it makes it more exciting, as well as rooting for the adorable "please don't take this away from me".
I expected Alex to do his due diligence and get the shoes, show them in the studio the same distance over the red, and for him to conclusively demonstrate whether or not the shoe actually made meaningful contact with the red; I'm very surprised Alex let us down here!
@@gillianboate I think part of the fun of TM and part of why it works so well are the discussions that come after a task. We see edited versions of the comtestants doing the same thing on the show. Then we get to have our own in comment sections and so on.
"That is harsh" might be the greatest line said on the show. It's so good!
Joe's throw is some of the best comedy drama I've ever seen. 😂
This is definitely missing Greg scoring a Jocky Wilson autograph over a priceless coin of the suffrage movement.
Also cutting out the "Hip hip beret"-joke is a crime.
Vegas falling down will never stop making me laugh.
This was too much brutally in one compilation 😭😂
Worst part for Joe, shoes often curl up at the toe, he may have only hovered over the red green.
In every other compilation Joe's potato throw appears and every time I get mad on his behalf
Every time they post the potato task I get so mad at Jon. Never forget, never forgive. 😂
Why Jon in particular? 😮🙃
@@ingetuinman8793 I guess because I'm a fan of his and hoped he wouldn't be petty like that. But it's all well and good for comedy. 😆
@@kaninerflagg9998 😂😂😂. Fair enough. Now I remember I felt the same the first time I saw it. 😂😂😂
Ya but if you think about it Jon's main thing is stick to the rules, even in countdown hes the prick thats his m.o. Also him a Joe know each other so well its always a love/fun/hate relationship back and forth.
Turnabout is fair play, considering how much shit Jon takes from Joe on Cats Does Countdown.
Those first series were sheer genius with great contenders.
I love this show so much I hope it continues for many years to come.
God, I love Taskmaster :D This is exactly the type of show/humour I love.
I think they would've allowed the 5 points to Joe in any other episode. Mainly because at the 3rd task in the whole series. The 2 competetive Doc and Jon would have more pity by then because Joe was quite bad in a majority of the tasks.
Joe probably still has nightmares about "The Great Potato Debacle". I bet he doesn't even eat potatoes any more! 😂😂😂
This is the best show ever made, period.
tell you what was the most shocking thing to me, I never expected Johnny to have a full head of hair under the ever-present hats. i thought there must have been something to hide
The Cheeky Texts bit is the single most diabolical thing this show has produced.
Painfully brilliant. Every last second.
13:49 Johnny falling over nothing is so me lmao 😂😂
Seen these all before in various videos and still think they are some of the funniest things on YT!!!
Johnny falling made me cry laughing
Funniest moment of that season.
For the overflowing cup challenge, coke and mentos would've been the go I reckon
Yey a new taskmaster compilation! Seen everything a hundred times but it still makes me laugh :D
"NIL POINTS!" lol needs to be a t-shirt!
17:44 Greg's inner teacher came out 😂😂
Nish cracking up is amazing!
That's Harsh. That's harsh, I'm just sayin'.
Funny as fuck
I miss the more ruthless and mean Greg. Recently there were points awarded even though the tasks were not fully completed and he is more PG overall. Bring back mean Greg. Although it might not be up to him...
watching these with a cold laughing while sneezing
Now that I've seen that last task so many times, he should have gotten points. The task didn't say to send 150 texts, it said one every day. Alex said 150. Unless he didn't send one every day, he got cheated.
Well if we start him off in February and not on a Leap Year, giving him the fewest amount of days possible, that's exactly 150 days over the course of 5 months. Any other combination of consecutive months would have actually been more than 150 days.
He asked how many days Alex told him 150.
Lets Go highlight time!
The taskmaster savage moments has the same energy as top 10 times greg Davies went full gimp mode.
The tossing of the bean bag reminds me of the recent lions and cowboys gane....😅
Joe Wilkinson’s potato throw is particularly savage. Bordering on mean.
Hey, big fan (feel free to ignore) I think we need another season or 2 of Joe. Also, if you could edit Diane Morgan into every series that would be great as well. Thanks!
I would still pay money for all of Mark's texts.
When you know what happed to Joe you can see his foot touch as he throws
18:02 Greg glancing at Alex like "you absolute prick"
Joe's Potato loss. gut wrenching crushing defeat at it's most obtuse simply Sad.
I've just realised something, Joe Wilkinson looks like the 10th Doctor just kinda let himself go
I still think of how David O'Doherty mentioned his resemblance to John Entwistle on Cats does Countdown.
I've watched this so many times because of how funny johnny vegas is, buts it's just recently that I noticed that the reason he fell is because out of camera shot the hose did curl up.... so he didn't fall for no reason, he tripped over the hose.
Johnny Vegas is one of my favorite contestants. If they ever do a second chance series, I want to see him and Nish on there!
I just would've taken the beermats somewhere closer to the bell XD
Imo there is no other series cohort that would’ve all failed at the overfloweth task. Every other had at least one highly competitive smart Alec who would’ve cracked it without putting any solids on the red green. And Rhod Gilbert would’ve got bored and stripped Alex or something.
what episode is where greg and alex hold hands and shout its recap time?
Little Alex Horne said subscribe now, so I did.
The Joe Wilkinson moment wasn’t Taskmaster being savage it was the contestants. The Taskmaster was actually pretty fair there.
0:16 for some reason this shot reminds me of 2001 a space odyssey
I’ve watched the whole season yet everytime its Daisy laughing, I’m scared she might end up in labour
Mark's task was send a cheeky message everyday for 5 month, not send 150 messages. If it was during February, he might be 2 messages short either way
but there would have been some months with 31 days
I think they actually confirmed afterwards that the producers were in the wrong. Mark had correctly sent a text every day for five months (148 in total) but the producers had miscalculated and thought the total should be 150.
@@OkeanosZT2 oh brutal! At least he wasn't close to winning the series lmao
@@OkeanosZT2 Was that from the podcast? It makes it even worse for him.
@@OkeanosZT2 - and it didn’t help that Mark also said “150 texts” in the clip. He should be brought back, along with Joe Wilkinson, for a redemption season.
Anyone know where I can find the music at 13:30?
loved Johnny Vega
The beer mat competition was "Make the biggest beer mat house...", it was NOT "finish the alloted time with the biggest beer mat house." Yes, Johnny's house fell over - but so do all houses in the fullness of time. Johnny won that one.
It's not the beer mat house falling down that got him disqualified, it's that he missed the bell twice, which happened as a result of his bewilderment of the house falling.
Kinda upset Daisy isnt in the credits up top in the info^ took me forever to find her name anyways just wana ask if anyone else thinks daisy looks like jinx monsoon
You were robbed at the BAFTAs! 🤬🤬🤬🤬
Catherine did seem a bit miffed about Joe's result, but possibly just the rubbing it in after.
@ 19:32 the real question is why'd he fold the corner 😂
At about 12:35, Johnny is reading the task. Something zips by in the sky with a brief woosh sound, added by the editors twice. Far in the sky, you'll see airplanes pass over in the blink of an eye. Totally unnecessary, but a nice touch.
Potato Joe never gets old.. 🥔
jesus ive never been this early.
Pleaaaaaase drop season 14!
Wondering if Katherines' hesitation saying the red...green has anything to do with the old Canuckian TV classic, The Red Green Show
Greg Davies. Most forgivable bastard on the planet!!
I am so in love with British humor! American limits so much. 😂😂😂
