The way they all stood around confused where the task was gave me a great idea for a different task: They arrive in a room, with no visible task, and are told they'll have to find it. After tearing apart the room to get the task, it simply reads: "Put the room back exactly as you found it. Your time started when you entered the room."
This is quite similar to the "Make the biggest mess... now clean it up" task, but a bit less mean-spirited (one of the contestants got quite upset if I recall). That said, I think having Alex come in with a photo of the set and playing spot the difference could be fun!
@@zakarymoninger7845 for the biggest mess task (CoC 1), they knew from the get-go that they would have to clean up. I think you might have mixed it up with the exotic sandwich task (make an exotic sandwich, fastest to eat their sandwich wins, series 4)

Peanut butter is lowkey one of the best baits to use for mice/rat traps. Gives off a lot of scent that animals will pick up but not be offensive to humans, and it sticks to the trap instead of being able to be picked up/carried. Out of things that are in 99% of kitchens to use to bait rats, peanut butter is up at the top.
@@JMill77 Other than possibly being hurt by the trap itself, peanut butter is usually fine for dogs. It's the artificial sweetener in some of them that is the problem.
Charlotte has got to be one of the most genuinely pure hearted people on this planet. She reminds me of hosts like Carl Sagan, Mr Rogers, and Shari Lewis.
I feel bad for Charlotte. She came up with the most creative way of trapping the rat, but yet she blew it because she forgot the rules. I would've given her a bonus point for creativity.
7:12 I would like to make the argument that he (Mike) wasn't 3 meters away when the rat actually got trapped. "You must be at least 3 meters from the rat when you catch it"
"Ingenious" simply means clever and creative, which I think Lee's contraption was more than Woz's net. He also captured the Rube Goldberg spirit of the mouse trap game the most.
@@patriciocastro6198, I'm sure I rewatched it before posting that comment, but I can't hear any mention of "practical" now. I suppose it's a good illustration of how inaccurate eyewitnesses can be.
The funniest thing I found is Lee's celebration. Presumably he wanted to hit the ball against the plunger and that would trap the rat. He missed the ball completely,yet he must have been relieved that the bat hit the plunger and the trap worked. Also Greg praising his shot was probably fake praise.
It didn't say you couldn't be on it whilst setting up the trap, just had to be that distance away when the trap caught the rat. When he removed the "cheese" the rat had not yet been caught by the trap.
Is it just me or is the energy off in this episode? Greg just seems tired or sick. And it's weirdly quiet. Maybe it was the COVID restrictions but it just gave me some odd vibes
@@DemstarAus It's not a fake laugh track, true, but they just played the episode to an audience later after everything was filmed. Season 11 was during the height of Covid, so there was no live audience during recording.
As an engineer my first thought was jam the signal from the remote. But the I don’t think I would have been able to construct a jamming device in 30min. At least not with the tools they had around. Plus it’s illegal so there is that. Would have been a creative solution though.
Disappointingly this is one of my least favourite tasks. The task should have had the rat going over a much smaller red mat in a straight line and if the contestant missed putting down their contraption it would have just went over it, much more room for failure and would have had more jeopardy to it instead of just having a remote control move the rat to wherever the contestant wanted the rat to move.
@@themug406 How so? Making the task easier by allowing the rat to go wherever the contestant wants it to go makes it less of a “trap the rat” task and more of a “do whatever you want” task
If anything, reaching under the tub to grab the “cheese” tennis ball to roll down Alex’s ramp had nothing to do with it. The rest were not up to “the task”.
@@domb8448 yeah I am in US so don't know anyone but from task master. But usually those people are funny and made me laugh. This is the first time I seen these people so I just think they are not funny . No hard feelings
I love the fact that even though charlotte got the task completely wrong, everyone seemed genuinely proud of her :D
She had the most ingenious, hands down. But rules is rules.
Empathy.
Well she did overcome her fear of large rats right before our eyes.
Yep shows how broken the world is when stupidity is celebrated. x
@@AVRDXB I'm sorry what?
Whoever was controlling the rat deserves a raise, the mannerisms of the rat made me genuinely giggle 🤭

“didn’t the rules say you had to be off the green though by 3 meters” says Jamali who was also on the green and then given a point anyway 🤔🤔

will not be offensive to most humans. But yeah your points stand
How do remote controlled electric animals react to peanut butter?
just make sure your dog can't get to it
Tried it once with a mouse trap. Mouse just licked the trap clean without it snapping shut.
@@JMill77

i feel that we as a society don't talk enough about how fabulous sarah's hair is
Sarah always has amazing hair.
it's messily organized
really? it seems every youtube comment section i go to they can't shut up about it
it's so thick
Why is hair considered fabulous when its big?
I would give anything to be part of the creative team coming up with and setting up these tasks. Seems like such a fun time
Its alex horne i think
Idk I feel like it would be stressful if you cant come up with enough exciting tasks
Yeah I think it's Alex also
I don’t think it’s JUST Alex based on some interviews. That would be quite the single man effort
@@sweetssandbox3526 I think from TM behind the scenes they talk about it
Alex dropping the bathtub to answer Lee is just chaotic.
The real MVP of this task is whoever was operating the rat.
I like how they just completely glossed over Alex calling peanut butter garbage at 4:49 lmao
Or meat
he was calling it meat, which it is classified as by the FDA
Charlotte has got to be one of the most genuinely pure hearted people on this planet. She reminds me of hosts like Carl Sagan, Mr Rogers, and Shari Lewis.
All joking aside, I’m pretty sure Jamiali was not 3 meters away
Probably why he was not going to argue it in any way XD
…and should therefore get 0 points instead of 1…
You couldn’t see his hand.
Useless
It feels like there was a pity point because there was at least an attempt at capturing it from the required distance.
I would have most likely reflexively picked up the rat to read the task and celebrated right up until reading that I had to be 3 meters away...
then just put it in a bucket and go back inside lol
This series had such a great cast.
I’m surprised no one tried to just find the guy controlling it and take the controller lol
I'd have asked for a remote controlled cat to catch the remote controlled rat.
Then you'd need a remote control dog to catch the remote control cat.
I think you invented a new "sport".
I absolutely love every country’s version of this show and there is no show that is better. Thank you for this wonderful show Alex Horne
Mike should get 4 points just based on the way he runs !
He's like a new born giraffe.
mikes a gem. wish he was on every season
Task master rat is the best character of the last decade of TV
How the heck did the guy with the "green screen solution" get 1 point? He was definately not 3 meters away either...
but there's no proof of that.... xD
There was at least an attempt that theoretically could have worked, even if it ultimately needed some green screen help.
Even if you cant see his hand, the rest of his body is clearly less than 3 meters away as he places a stick with a bag ontop of the rat lol.
"Rats like garbage and meat...
"that includes peanut butter."
I feel bad for Charlotte. She came up with the most creative way of trapping the rat, but yet she blew it because she forgot the rules. I would've given her a bonus point for creativity.
she used her hands
Honestly Alex should point this kind of thing out to the contestants instead of letting them waste their time
Charlotte never fails to make me laugh
I am disappointed that nobody dragged the red "green" somewhere else to force the rat into confinement.
Damn, that's clever.
The net being pulled form behind cover while wearing camo should have won
"Do you remember the game Mousetrap?"
"Yes"
"Carry on"
10:29 Jamali points out you have to be 3m away yet is literally 20cm away from the rat as he traps it at 7:51..... The hypocrisy is palpable.
Greg thinking that was a lovely stroke explains alot about how the English cricket team has been fairing recently.
4:28 what she said here was fucking hilarious and I feel it went unappreciated lol
7:12 I would like to make the argument that he (Mike) wasn't 3 meters away when the rat actually got trapped.
"You must be at least 3 meters from the rat when you catch it"
I am so glad I stumbled across this channel. Everybody needs a GOOD Laugh now and then!!
I really liked the part where people who haven’t finished the video scrolled through the comments.
Just to see what other people are thinking.
😁
This was the series that alone kept me sane early last year! Sarah 🥰🥰🥰 and Charlotte 🥺🥺🥺
Trapped the rat with the bat and that's that
I love the rat driver scaring her lol
I like the ad for Grammarly before this video where the girl drones on and on like one long sentence.
Charlotte was robbed. How was hers any less acceptable than green screen guy?
She wasn’t at least 3 feet away from the rat when it got trapped.
@@TheGary108 Whats it like having the same iq as a carrot

I think woz should have the 5 pointer here, Lee Mack wasn't ingenious, just more showboatie than Sarah Kendall.
"Ingenious" simply means clever and creative, which I think Lee's contraption was more than Woz's net. He also captured the Rube Goldberg spirit of the mouse trap game the most.
The task said "ingenious and practical". The "practical" part seemed somewhat overlooked.
@@petertaylor4980 Does it metions it has to be practical? I think the task only said "most ingenious wins"

Lmao true
I love this task ^^
I was wondering if any contestant would move red green to their advantage
I'd have folded up the red circle and put in a box. Let the rat figure out how to trap itself.
The rat would be trapped in the impossible task of getting on the green.
The funniest thing I found is Lee's celebration. Presumably he wanted to hit the ball against the plunger and that would trap the rat. He missed the ball completely,yet he must have been relieved that the bat hit the plunger and the trap worked. Also Greg praising his shot was probably fake praise.
I was abt to comment on how offensive the video title was until I realized it didn’t say to “trap the rat in the most indigenous way”
Did Mike ever fulfill his cheese debt?
I like the judges socks.
10:46 shes the cutest D:
A swear Lee Mack also went on the red green? Poor Charlotte haha
It didn't say you couldn't be on it whilst setting up the trap, just had to be that distance away when the trap caught the rat. When he removed the "cheese" the rat had not yet been caught by the trap.
Didn’t one dude go on the Matt as well to retrieve the ball?
Don't know why, maybe it is the editing, but something felt wrong watching this.
No audience

which episode is this from? I thought I had watched all episodes from series 11 but I dont remember this
Pretty sure it’s from the very first episode
This is the first episode, I think it might be the first actual task after the prize task.
But why did Jamali get any points? He also wasn't far enough away!
Why is jamali’s beard so uneven

I've come from season 7, it seems so dry now
3:03 horrific, she's been americanised
Series 13 where
yay
Jamali shouldn't have got any points because he was also within 3m
So, Lee Mack won, and they edited out Lee Mack's trap.
not sure if you watched the same video as the rest of us there bud.
Did you mentally combine the two bath based traps? Two contestants used the bath, just Lee added a cricket bat element to it. It was in the video.
If anything, reaching under the tub to grab the “cheese” tennis ball to roll down Alex’s ramp had nothing to do with it. The rest were not up to “the task”.
Maybe you blinked too long or took a power nap, because it's very much on this video.
