I will always be impressed by his Cricket ball throw. He just goes "first time i reckon" Steps up to the pole, throws and hits the three pins. Goes "here you go", and leaves while saying "call me when i am needed". Thats pretty awesome
It’s even more awesome when you hear in the podcast Russell said it was the very FIRST task he ever did when starting production for Taskmaster…what a killer start
She's one of those so awkward & genius girls at times, & at others so dense & oblivious you wonder about certain things about her, as there were a few other girls in the site like that. You can't not live them
I loved the teamwork with Alice in particular; every time one of them suggested something, the other built on it. Let's cover him, actually let's cover the shower, oh we can move the shower, etc, and all with very little time to work with!
I truly laughed at that one and having watched this show for so many years you think I would have seen that off the bat but it got past me and they picked it up really quickly into the situation pretty good for them.
Wasn't it Alice's idea to cover the shower head rather than Alex, and when trying to do that, Russell found he could just turn it the other way then suggested disconnecting the hose
Tbf to the "attract women with pork" bit: I made my wife some bacon as a snack the first time we were at my place. And she's still my loving wife all these years later.
I'm pretty fussy with how I like my bacon, so if a guy I was dating managed to make it how I like it, he would definitely be a keeper. Maybe there is some truth to attracting women with pork. Or at least just bacon.
He did step on it after he threw the ball, so he didn’t get an advantage by stepping on it, other then regaining his balance after the throw. So I wouldn’t say he cheated. And I have studied it, and gone back and forth on the topic since it aired, because it bugged me too. But as he did knock them out on the first go, his part of the challenge ended when he threw the ball, as he then could no longer change the outcome, and it was in that space of time he stepped on the carpet. If and athlete does drugs on the finish line after the race, they wouldn’t have performed the task with any enhancements, but they couldn’t have done a second run.
but the task was not "make sure not a single drop of water touches alex" it was to make him the least wet in competition with the other team. which they did.
He seems like a nice guy but he looks like they 54 year old man who dms 15 year old girls on insta asking if they need a sugar daddy and all the pictures are of him shirtless on a boat.
Manly with that box I’d pee in the box and have no one complaints and then saw stuff till you have enough sawdust to cover the sent or of snowflake just waiting for man to take over
Just rock a few shots get the overthinking covered which isn’t hard but people under thinking is a over thinking but thought of taking to long who knows if some snowflakes hiding in your closet or shower like a little boy hiding from manly decisions
Well I can identify with pictures several so called comedians who I would never watch due to boring content and cringe. Remember humour is 1. Subjective, 2. Cultural, 3. Has to have some relevance to your life to be funny, that is you personally have to connect with it to recognise the humour. If you don't connect that is your choice, but it is not to say he isn't funny. We can say the same about horror films, most are not scary but actually quite humourous when you understand the technique behind the cinematography. Hope you understand

Were just waiting for the taskmaster to disqualify him for stepping In front of the stump.
@@danhunters8226 people out here really mad over nothing lol.
Well done for explaining what we all saw
You clearly don't know anything about cricket 🤣
Bowls, stumps, crease... None of these means anything to you I guess
It’s even more awesome when you hear in the podcast Russell said it was the very FIRST task he ever did when starting production for Taskmaster…what a killer start
“It looks half sports day and half murderer’s kit” - Alice has a real understated and often overlooked sense of humour.
i was just going to say! i don’t know a lot of her comedy, definitely going to look her up now :)
@@siofrarafferty3821 she’s more a presenter than a comedian but has a very quick wit.
She's one of those so awkward & genius girls at times, & at others so dense & oblivious you wonder about certain things about her, as there were a few other girls in the site like that. You can't not live them
Love her in My Dad Wrote A Porno

It's even funnier to see him in the light-reactive glasses after he said on the podcast how self conscious he was of them...
Russell Howard as the manliest man is top Taskmaster
He's usually mocking it
When Russel threw that cricket ball, I was more attracted to him than I have ever been to anyone before.
So it was because of that? Then why aren't you super attracted to every cricketer in the planet, professional or amateur
@@kurtsudheim825 hey bro, it’s a joke
@@danielmunchinsky3644 yes, I was being sarcastic to, bro
Because he's funny, cool AND knows how to sport. Can't deny it. Even the Taskmaster admitted to being smitten, so..... 😉
I think it was an apple
Edit: nevermind, im dumb, had to replay it over and over again
that shower bit is absolute GOLD
I truly laughed at that one and having watched this show for so many years you think I would have seen that off the bat but it got past me and they picked it up really quickly into the situation pretty good for them.
the fact that his “dry martini” is a glass of water with two grapes in is possibly the best extra detail in the whole thing
The juxtaposition of being incredibly manly followed by the duck task next is pretty funny.
Mostly this reminded me of how delightful Alice was. Russell had some epic moments though, in different senses.
i mean, was it russell being a genius, or is it actually alice who came up with the shower idea and to hop to the ducks!
Hers for the ducks, she pointed him in the direction, but he then saw the exact opportunity, that's why it's called team work
Wasn't it Alice's idea to cover the shower head rather than Alex, and when trying to do that, Russell found he could just turn it the other way then suggested disconnecting the hose
Team funk!
I love Russell! So absolutely thrilled I got to see him live a couple of weeks ago while on his tour in the US. I’m still smiling 👏🏼🥰
Can't believe I missed that! Where did you see him? I doubt he came to NC ☹️
I watched his live show in the twin cities a while ago! Amazingly funny man. And sexy.
Russells laugh at 8.29 after being read his own quote "we are going to piss this." is the golden thread of this compilation
I was wondering how far I'd need to scroll down the comments to find someone else who loved it... evidently not that a far XD
Does that mean he thought he’d do well or poorly? I don’t get British slang 😅
Tbf to the "attract women with pork" bit: I made my wife some bacon as a snack the first time we were at my place. And she's still my loving wife all these years later.
And you didn’t even have to go down the local abbatoir with a hammer and start taking names! (I presume.)
I'm pretty fussy with how I like my bacon, so if a guy I was dating managed to make it how I like it, he would definitely be a keeper.
Maybe there is some truth to attracting women with pork. Or at least just bacon.
Russel is surprising ripped, enjoyed this greatly ♥
I'm on a taskmaster binge and I can't stop 🙁
OH MY GOD IT'S BLAHAJ
0:00
Russell Howard, natural cricket talent
Funny since he likes football more, that he's better at this
The sounds the little saw makes as he's slapping his tattoos with it... ☠☠
Muscle Howhard, best comedian.
I can’t really think of anything that I wouldn’t let him do to me.
bro ?? 🤨
He's an attractive lad.
I only came here because of the shirtless Russell thumbnail.
The Milky Bar Kid has come a long way!
I loved russel's "My brother's calfs"
Roses are red
Violets are blue
I clicked on the video because he was shirtless in the thumbnail
and you did too
Seeing all that and then him grunting through a pipe at a candle is hilarious 🤣
BLÅHAJ, my love
spotted 🤨
Why does Russell's manly performance remind me of mystery meat boy
Because, like many of us, seeing all that skin turned your thoughts towards Russell's mystery meat. 😏
Russel, what a gem 🙏
He threw it behind the stump, just stepped beyond it after it left his hand. I think it’s legit.
british freddy prince jr.
6:01 friggen brilliant 😂😂
Gave me tears 🤣 one of my favourite bits of TM of all time..
It has to be said "manly" Russell bears a striking resemblance to Martin Gore from Depeche Mode.
The little laugh after Alex says 'Hammer abetwar"
I only watched this to see Russell with his shirt off - not disappointed!
I was all upset his most iconic moment wasn't included ... and realized I was thinking of Rob Beckett. 😂
Which task is this? 4:35
"Stop!" -Alex
The shower was brilliant XD
Alex’s “bellow” lmao
russell howard is the single most attractive man I have ever seen in my life
I wouldn't say single but certainly in the top 10
How many humans have you seen?😂😂 if anything, this is a major confidence booster to the majority of men on the planet 🤣🤣
Men in these replies seeing another man being lifted up be like 😡😡😡
I looooove Russel Howard. And Davies
I feel like every time Russell comes on screen teenage wasteland should play 🤣
Russel sounds very similar to Roy Kent during the manly box task
I'm Russel Howard and welcome to Task-Ass
He stepped on the mat so he wasn't behind the stump.
I would have disqualified him for a laugh 😂
Front foot is well behind the popping crease - totally valid delivery.
Is that a fuckin Blåhaj in the first clip
I misread the thumbnail as "Russal Howard *impregnates* the taskmaster"
I mean, you wouldn't be wrong...
When he knocked those stumps, he also shocked my ovaries. Attractive as fuck!!
he certainly wants alex to drink more
Sally Philips did similar with the create marmite task with the absinthe based vegemite.
"DONT LISTEN TO UR MUM!!!!!"
Alex looks embarrassed when Russ removes his shirt and genuinely scared when he shouts! Russell is just so hot😍
Russel Howard. Proud owner of a Blahaj.
I saw shirtless Russel and I clicked. No question. 😊
Same!! XD
Also made a comment about it.
Glad I'm not the only one
Roses are red
Violets are blue
I clicked on the video because he was shirtless in the thumbnail
and you did too
this whole show is "an unhelpful Narnia"
As someone who recently got into cricket as 1 of the only people in my country, it felt very satisfying to correct a Brit on what an over is.
Where are you from?
@@kurtsudheim825 Netherlands
Just put the bucket over the top of the candle and walk away. By the time you've walked out the room, the candle will just be extinguishing itself
The manly part lol
That throw
Russell should be on the register
Sex offenders register?
@@maxfisher9428 Sex defenders register, he wrote that story about Alex protecting Greg with his bellowing
that bowling clip is the single hottest video i've ever seen
6:25
Anyone know where his jacket is from? 😅
Levis me thinks
...his wardrobe
if you find out where he got it before that though let me know!!
Poor BLÅHAJ
ayo 🤨
What season is this from
Why is he talking like Joanna Lumley from Ab Fab?
Let’s be honest, his bowling action was quite ordinary though. Like any English spinner I suppose
Leggies? Offies? Nah just straight on mate
Dude, he wasn't taking it super professionally, the run up was 2 steps before this skip, it was like playing in the garden when you were a kid for fun
Class
Actually, they wet him when they moved shower with the water in standing in the shower head.
His foot went in front of the stump.
@JeEr MuCe true good point.

🤣😂🤣😂🤣
So being from Yorkshire is manly?! I'd take it as a compliment if I was male.
wait thats fucking blahaj
Was not expecting a blåhaj to be on taskmaster either
Hose was on shower was not
Okay are we just going to ignore how hot Russell's body is?
I am not! Russell is HOT!
@@vickywitton1008 it's not like we didn't have any suspicions with his tight t-shirts but oh my God
How do 2 grown adults not know how to light a cigarette
Presumably because they don't smoke
it was windy and not a very good lighter
@@thearcticfox343 hello, fellow ace 👋🏾
I think it was the lighter. Not the cig.
But I also don't think they smoke regularly
@@_Sixthstep Have they never seen essentially any TV or movies? or gone on a night out?
Funny Men
His foot was in front of the stump. Disqualified.
His foot was inline with the stump when he threw it and stepped over AFTER he threw it.
He had a decent body.
Roses are red
Violets are blue
I clicked on the video because he was shirtless in the thumbnail
and you did too

He seems like a nice guy but he looks like they 54 year old man who dms 15 year old girls on insta asking if they need a sugar daddy and all the pictures are of him shirtless on a boat.
That is incredibly specific
@@joshuaairey197 you’ve never been a 15 year old girl on insta then cause that’s like 60% of all of the creepy guy dms
Take your meds.

2. Don’t use meds as an insult as mental health of any kind is not a joke
3. Grow up.
@@bellawhite9094 what you said is weird, weirdo.
When everything is iconic, nothing is iconic. Enough with the iconic. Stop. Saying. Iconic.
I think what i took away from this is Russell is a eugenicists wet dream
what a very weird thing to say
never ask a british "person" what they call cigarretes
👨❤️👨
It's just a homophone.
I doubt it's still used, but look up the longer version of the word and it means a bundle of something, e.g. sticks or metal rods.
Having a couple shots and a few puffs of thc is a solid Canadian weekend right there specially is no gf pushing for more then gaming for the lose
Guessing your missing all the cringy Russel gets his agent to do the task :/
Manly with that box I’d pee in the box and have no one complaints and then saw stuff till you have enough sawdust to cover the sent or of snowflake just waiting for man to take over
[hehe]
Hmm, I'm noticing a recurring theme in Russell's tasks, and it can be boiled down to, _'Take off clothes and be unfunny.'_
How often did he take his clothes off?
First comment!
Who gives a shit?
Russell howard is painfully unfunny
Shut up
Just rock a few shots get the overthinking covered which isn’t hard but people under thinking is a over thinking but thought of taking to long who knows if some snowflakes hiding in your closet or shower like a little boy hiding from manly decisions
never understood why people thinks he is funny or original.
Your mum has never understood you mate
i think hes one of the best :D he has just the right humour for me
Because he is and you're just miserable. Seen him live a few times and he's absolutely brilliant 🤷♂️
Well I can identify with pictures several so called comedians who I would never watch due to boring content and cringe.
Remember humour is 1. Subjective, 2. Cultural, 3. Has to have some relevance to your life to be funny, that is you personally have to connect with it to recognise the humour.
