- Sometimes the Taskmaster likes to set individual tasks for his favourite contestants, just so they can humiliate themselves further. Here's a selection of the greatest solo tasks in the history of Taskmaster.

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.

Honestly Mark's texts not getting any points is worse than Joe getting disqualified on the potato task
I think Mark juuust lost to Bob so it could've made the entire difference in the game too.
Joe deserved to get disqualified, there was one rule and he broke it
@@jenelaina5665 He lost by 8 points and tasks typically are only awarded 5, so unless Greg would be very generous it wouldn't made a difference.
By "worse" of course you mean "better". :D
@@michaelcolbourn6719 If you analyze the footage, it's literally the tip of his shoe hovering above the carpet. It's not like he stepped on the carpet, it was a tiny overhang.
Making Josh count stuff and barely even acknowledging it was my favorite bit
...Thanks Josh.
Hardly using the footage too was just perfect.
I loved the fact he fell for it three times
The best was him saying "I'm sorry for you that has to watch this 5 times"
@@josematias2010 "I don't know who's the biggest loser ?"
Him realising what went on with the beans, and keeping the surprise with the other two was great on his part. His reactions are golden too
They could not have picked a better contestant in the entire history of Taskmaster to do the smiling.
Romesh. Paul. Noel. For different reasons of course
Alex has always said his dream contestant would be Jack Dee. Feels like he came up with the smile task with him in mind.
I'm convinced that had Rob been given that task, his teeth would've *actually grown bigger.*
The fact that they spent over an hour making Mel inflate and deflate the giant ball and that only made up about 10 seconds of airtime is incredible. Really shows how everything in this show means everything yet absolutely nothing at the same time
Shows how much fun all of them have creating the show too, willing to spend time on stuff that may or may not make it in just cuz its the funniest thing to do hahaha
Shows how innocent Mel is that she would just get on with doing that, and not question how five people very slowly inflating then deflating a massive beachball could possibly constitute anyone’s idea of entertaining television.
That's entertainment.....bloody funny though
I love how Mel inflated and deflated the ball herself, and yet didn't think to do that to hide the ball in the stadium. Surely deflation can't count as "damaging" an inflatable ball, can it? It's literally one of the designed purposes of the thing.
I assume she knew from getting it out the door that it did not deflate quickly, since that took 25 minutes
Tracksuit was one of the smoothest in the show.
It was so incredibly clever
Still my favorite
I’m very much not a Russell Howard fan, but respect for his 🤝 after that.
@Snake Obsessed like others I expected a pun based on station(ary). :P
I love Team Funk's shared look of curious confusion, lol
Mark Watson’s cheeky texts should be made public!!
I want to know the last one. And all the ones before
There's a lot of them in the taskmaster book
There’s an outtake in which Alex is reading all the texts.
It’s more of a bonus video than outtake.
Sell it as MERCH
The delivery of the punchline "tracksuit" is really just everything right with the world
A bit of an exaggeration perhaps.
@@freakazoid4691 we get it, you're pedantic 🙄
Tracksuit and laminator are my two favorite moments on the show.
@@smilesfordays the sheer joy Kerry and Greg share over laminators is just heartwarming
@@scz1770 thank you, I needed this word in my vocabulary
And that one point for counting beans, spaghetti hoops, and rice is why Josh Widdicombe is Champion of Champions.
Without that Romesh may have become S1 champion despite not winning a single episode.
That and getting a tattoo of 'greg' on his foot
BOSH!
@@kisbie both Frank and Romesh had 92 points so had he not got that point it would’ve been a 3 way tie
"That fucking bean point..."
-Uttered by one of the panel. Rumoured to be Romesh.
How chaotic must Gregs live be.. receiving random texts, having people stealing from him left right and center, Rhod hiding in his closet when he sleeps.. etc.
Honestly waiting for the day there is a news report of Greg Davis accidentally knocking one of the contestants out because they've jumped out and scared him 😅
Or being verbally abused by James Acaster
I imagine nothing fazes him anymore. Every time something weird happens to or around him, he probably thinks it's taskmaster related
Getting his trousers stolen by Ed Gamble
@@Saltywinterchild someone genuinely just going insane near Greg and he's just like 😏 this season is going to be fantastic!
Honestly, the whole thing with Aisling's mother was just heartwarming. I can genuinely imagine she was having a great time photographing that pineapple and it just brings a smile to my face.
Yeah, I found that to be endearing, rather than anything else.
Some of the pics were pretty creative. Her mom does have a good eye for photos.
Yeah but aisling doesnt deseve any points. The task was for her not her mom
@@ianh1504 Wasn't claiming she did, I was just saying it was great to watch
@@ianh1504 it was completely unfair
mark got no points for missing out on 2 texts while she got given points for not doing the task at all
Nothing brightens up my day more than the pure joy and happiness on Romesh's face each time he learns of a task Josh had to do.
And the fact that his character theme for the series was that he was always pissed off made it even better.
The TM podcast with Romesh is so much fun, give it a listen.
brilliant
@@user-fp3yc9hm6m Was that his character theme, or was that just Romesh? lol
Nish's face when Mark got no points was up there too.
For a moment I thought it was “Every Individual Task” as in every single task that had ever been in the show.
Same here I was thinking "Fucking hell they have a lot of filler in the studio bits if the video is only half an hour long"
Same and I was fully prepared to watch however long it would have been!!
@@connor1586 I was just assuming they only showed a short like 10 second clip of what each task was, not the entire footage of the task.
Same initially, but then I saw it was only 30 minutes long!
These individual, unique tasks make much more sense
I feel like Johnny Vegas making different noises should count for this, even though that was technically to occupy him during a group task 😆
Also the fact that Tim Vine was not instructed to do a pun outfit, Alex just assumed he would and built the task out from there is **chef's kiss**
It is possible that Alex invented the ‘guess Tim’s pun’ game afterwards, but yes, it would have been a pretty safe bet to make beforehand.
I heard somewhere that Alex originally thought that Tim would make a series of puns along the way rather than one big pun at the end, I wonder if he had something planned for that.
@@MisterAppleEsq I assume that if he made lots of puns throughout it'd be guess how many puns he made and closest wins
The whole time he was cutting up the calendar I didn't expect him to only use the pictures. I thought he was going to use the whole thing and say it was an "everyday sort of look".
The ability of this show to bring celebs almost to tears over the stupidest things is truly hilarious
No. Their actions do. Not the ability of the show as an abstract concept.
@@swanningabout I am really smart.
Frank Skinner and Dave Gorman love playing practical jokes. You can see total respect for Alex’s ability in their reactions.
@@swanningabout Were sent to this comment section by a demon to irritate everybody?
It's very sweet that Aisling's mother did that for her and that her town went along with it. She clearly has a very lovely mother.
completely unfair to mark though
mark got no points for missing 2 texts while aisling got given points for a task she didn't do at all
@@cole003f get over it
@@cole003f it's a double standard
@@Zaihanisme shut
@@cole003f To be fair, there was nothing in the rules saying you can't get outside help
Will anything ever truly best Josh Widdicombe’s realization that only he had to do the counting?
And I sometimes randomly think of Joe Lycett’s smiles and laugh.
Romesh absolutely losing his shit every single time cracks me up!!
@@elizamt1994 That killed me 😂😂
The little "thunk" on Joe's 11th or 12th smile gets me every. single. time.
I dunno man mark Watson’s cheeky texts is an all time great TV moment 😂
@@sophiaredwood5825 No. It didn't
There's a lovely moment while Tim is reading the stationary task, where Russell, who hasn't pieced it together yet, looks back at Alice in confusion, and Alice just shrugs.
Team Funk just don't care
9:31 For people looking for that moment.
Best thing is Tim, sat on the end looking at himself on the screen, doesn’t even notice any of that.
In Josh Widdicombe's case he's sitting there, having not yet revealed that he has a tattoo of Greg's name on his foot.
Did he get points for the individual tasks in the end?
@@aryoceissapratama717 Yes, and it was the winning point.
@@WillZhao8 not just in the episode, but in the whole series. That gave him enough to qualify for champion of champions, which he won.
"I just thought you were bad at speaking" lmao Sally was savage.
Josh doing the counting tasks was great in itself, but the best about it was seeing Romesh happier than I've ever seen him on tv.
Romesh being delighted at the suffering of others is hilarious in and of itself
I also love Frank Skinner and Dave Gorman’s reactions. Practical jokes are very much their sense of humour (as was Hitler’s, as David Baddiel once pointed out), so the fact they LOLed means you know Alex is a master.
"Gönna get me cøät" is just absolutely iconic
Only time I've found Rob funny...
@@liamkampff1 with "Squayzin mye 'ed" as a valiant third
I can't say "et esn't vourking" any other way
@@chelseawildflowerloftinwey1945 Į’m géttīn høt ôñ mÿ fæçē always makes me die 🤣
"Đøëş ŧħīŝ ġō ĥőţťĕŕ?"
Alex setting Mark that cheeky texts task because of Mark's detail oriented personality is even funnier when you realize they're friends in real life 😂💀
Josh's mood really went south with each counting task they showed after the first one, poor man haha
And he still got Greg’s name tattooed on his foot.
@@smilesfordays Hahaha true ;)
“I felt like a loser, but then I realised you have to watch five people doing this, so I think you might actually be the bigger loser.” Amazing last words. 😆😆😆😆
In the TM podcast Josh talks about this. When he won the series by 1 point one of the other contestants (I suspect Romesh) said 'it was the effing beans wasn't it?'
I love that Mark is so preoccupied trying to NOT say the wrong thing, but the cost was his brain stopped working
......fiddly
".....how?"
oh that's me all the time
But what about James's self-appointed individual task of "make the most circles" though?
"My eyes are circles?"
“That was the real task.” Then Alex hands him an envelope saying ‘get this kettle over a pub…’
@RobotBlue "Shake the most kitchen utensils out of your headband"
Alex's reveal that he's been dropping fish puns the whole time is like the finale of a Derren Brown show.
He was breaming with pride there.
...I'll get me coat.
I was in the studio audience for Josh Widdicombes counting tasks. The horrified reactions from everyone was incredible. Pretty sure looking back on it that when the spaghetti hoops were revealed that Josh knew the rice would be as well.
I don't think I have ever seen Romesh look so happy as when he realised what Josh had been asked to do
Search for Jimmy Carr asking about Romesh's father in one of the big fat quiz episodes
Romesh fucking losing it when Josh talks about the Taskmaster having to assess the counting tasks 5 times, when its revealed hes the only one that's done it, is the fucking best.
Aisling's mum has a good eye for composition.
For someone who is using an iPad, they can barely use, I’m extremely impressed
Mel Giedroyc really is so wonderfully upbeat
I wish mel was my grandma! I love her
@@addiemiller9677 bleeding hell she's not that old!
@@addiemiller9677 Grandma!? She's more like the fun aunty.
I’d love to have seen Mel’s reaction if she’d been given Paul Chowdhry’s bouncy castle.
I feel like I would react the same to these challenges...
Mark's disappointment and Nish's amusement at having no points awarded for the 150 texts is brilliant
148* xd
Would be wonderful if we get to see some unaired tiebreakers
Taskmaster RUclips Channel Runners- take note!!!
Also some unaired full tasks, as I understand they film more than they air so there's probably a lot of stuff we've never seen and they'd be perfect for RUclips
@@stebsis They probably wont do that since they can use some tasks that went unaired in one season, in a future season.
@@JossieMimo also im fairly sure the reason they dont air the tasks they dont air is because theyre not very entertaining
@@nvk3435 Also that, like a bubble wrapping task that Alex has tried in three different series with the same results.
the first time they came up with the individual task , I almost pissed myself laughing.
Of course
"Fiddly. How?" is repeated in my house daily.
If I was in the same situation I would have spoken in Thai (I lived there for 9 years), as all of the letters do not exist in the roman alphabet
@@gordonanderson698 Smart! I was kinda amazed that no-one thought to grab a glass to go over the candle like a hurricane lantern, but it's easy to second-guess after the fact.
I like to think that the second mark watson heard that he’d been set a task that no one else had been, he knew exactly which task they were talking about.
Mark's Texts has to be the single best task of any done, ever. It was basically Alex annoying the Taskmaster using a contestant. I think this was one of the few times Alex lost composure and laughed a long with everyone else.
My favorite is Paul - “have the most fun” was the most surprising and delightful thing during that season. Brilliant task & person ♡
It suited his personality perfectly, too.
What time is that if anyone has it?
@@KM-rt5jj 28:55
They should release the full hour
“‘You have one... HOUR’?” never fails to make me 😂.
I followed Mark Watson on all social media after this because I felt so bad for him and wanted to make sure he was okay
And is he okay
Yea is he alright? Assuming you’ve checked
@@Babyteef yeah, he's fine. I listened to his radio comedy show and he talks about how rubbish he did on the show 😂😂
@@eleanorlamb1838 oh he has a radio show? what's it called? im glad he's doing wellJDB
@@Babyteef Mark Watson talks a bit about life, it's on the BBCSounds app on Radio 4
The thing that makes Tim Vine's stationary task so good is that I've seen in several times, but I never remember the pun, but every time he reveals it I think "that's actually pretty clever."
"Posted the FUCKIN pineapple" and "with her iPad...that she BARELY KNOWS HOW TO USE, ALEX!" are extremely underrated moments in the show.
Her accent just makes everything better
I appreciate that when Josh came back for Champion of Champions instead of counting rice again he did the maths eqaution while other contestants look for and counted rice grains.
The worst part of the 150 texts is you can set up texts to automatically send on future dates/times so he could have done the whole thing in just a few days
I would really love to see the best task "cheats" in a future video.
Yess!!!
Everyone else's joy every time Josh had to count something is so good. Also him confidently being like "well joke's on you, you have to watch this 5 times" is the perfect irony
I like to think that they actually were planning on having everyone do those tasks, but Josh went first and said that, and Alex took it personally
Rob's accent task is my favourite ever task on this show
gonna get wurm!
"Gôñńå gët mę cøãt"
Daz diz go hotta?
Josh Widdecombe singing the Taskmaster theme has the same energy as a puppy trying to get up a flight of stairs.
Track suit! This is why he is a professional and my comments suck
It's OK. You just need some training
It's ok. You managed to fish for enough likes. Don't worry
I’d have gone for ‘tank engine top’, which only proves the point further.
The series of Josh Widdecombe counting tasks is one of the funniest things this show has done
The visual collage of Mel's positivity is contagious, every time I see it I smile so much
5:44
Sally giving Mark a hug after his immense disappointment in that sentence is so sweet
Everytime I hear Josh's smug line after he counted the rice I burst into uncontrollable laughter. It's the perfect television moment
Underrated best moment here is Josh mocking Alex for having to watch someone count grains of rice 5 times. Oh how little he knew.
Wait. In the cheeky text messages task, the actual task was "one message a day for the next five months", and the 150 was just a separate remark from Alex simply calculating 5 times 30. If Mark actually sent one message every day for five months, and there were 148 actual days, 148 messages is absolutely enough for the completion of the task.
Wouldn’t work. Lowest number of days over 5 months is if the end of the months of February through June are accounted for, which would be a total of 28 (assuming it’s not a leap year) + 31 + 30 + 31 + 30, or 150. Still a bummer.
That must have been deliberate, as a way of leading into the punchline that Mark gets no points. Alex playing Greg and Mark like a cello. 😅
I SO want a copy of the cheeky texts book thing.
I love that one task is literally "You have an ENTIRE hour to have fun on this bouncy castle".
And he looks so angry, wiggles and rolls a bit, then just fucking takes a nap.
The real tragedy is that if Mark Watson got a point or 2 for his task he'd have won the series
He lost by 8 to Bob. Needed more than that
Mark's texts was definitely one of my favourite bits. I understand why they don't do this as much anymore but I wish they really did
and why is that?
@@galaxspace1 ah yeah makes sense
Tim Vine’s track-suit is the last time they did a separate prank task and even that became a game for the others. I guess they felt contestants were getting wise to it and it was losing impact but I still feel it’s a shame.
You'll all love the latest season then as that has one of the best individual tasks ever
Mark Watsons texts was absolute genius
Honestly, what if there was a special each season with an entire episode of individual tasks? Like, they're all uniquely wild and outlandish, and they have no idea what task.
I think it's funnier when it's spread out because then both them and the audience doesn't know what's coming.
@@ObsidianGloria Yeah, an entire episode of individual tasks sounds just like five comedians doing random sh*t for no reason for 45 minutes, since there’ll be no objective way to judge, compare and score them, there’s only pass or fail.
Honestly? Your use of the word makes no sense
@@swanningabout it's like when girls say "by the way, I like your dress" as they pass you on the sidewalk
I love how Tim watches the introduction VT to his task with a smile and turns towards Greg when it’s finished as normal totally unaware of the confusion from the others behind him
Josh's counting with added Romesh's reactions, Joe's smiling to the camera and Mark's texts tasks are the funniest things ever
I saw a similar comment on another video, but the fact that Josh did multiple solo counting tasks and didn't immediately speak up about that tells me that he figured they were setting up for his other segments and didn't want to ruin their buildup. Like, after the baked beans thing, he could have been like, "Did anyone else count spaghetti hoops as well!?" But instead he just sat back and waited for the next bit to appear naturally. He may have been frustrated, but he's still got a comedian's wit, and I really appreciate that.
When Paul says "ONE HOUR?" it's just unreal
9:54 That look of realization from Tim is probably one of the subtler reactions to someone finding out they've been singled out and I find it so delightful.
Mark Watson is an absolute gem. Genuinely want to give him a hug after his texting task!
14:15 The reactions after "How many spaghetti hoops?" from all contestants is one of the best moments in the show history.
If Aisling's mom really did take all those photos then she's a genuinely great photographer. That blacksmith pineapple photo looks great!
I forgot about the pineapple photography task. That was sweet of her
I’m so glad you’ve finally uploaded Josh’s counting tasks to RUclips - it’s taken too long.
One of my all time favourite taskmaster moments
All of series one is on RUclips as full shows, so it was there.
@@qwertyTRiG yeah, I was gonna say I already saw it and I live in the USA
The best thing about Josh counting the beans etc. Is he also got a tattoo of Greg's name on his foot in the same season. Like how sadistic.
I love that Positive Mel montage so much.
Mel's collage is like a warm hug...
Left out my favorite line from Aisling's individual task. Alex transitioned with, "This next task is for everyone! Except Helen!"
I think the "do you know now?" at 16:19 was a lot more savage than the audience's reaction suggests. It was a proper 3rd degree burn.
"Minnow understand English" has to be one of the funniest things I have ever heard someone make up on the spot... That was brilliant lmao. This show is so good it makes me sad I missed out as an American.
The editors must have metadata on each task so they can play around and generate fun groupings.
I'm absolutely certain they edit it all together to make it the funniest and definitely not in any chronological order.
"I just thought you were bad at speaking"
I saved a gif of Joe Lycett smiling, just for any time I needed it
I need thee every hour
"I'lL gO aNd GEt mE cOAt"
Me, banging two pots together: PORPOISES ARENT FISH
dolphinately not
I really hate that they stopped doing these in later seasons. I have to imagine the contestants started baking it into their contracts with the show, likely at the behest of an agent, etc. Because these were phenomenally fun twists.
I dunno; doesn't seem like the kind of thing someone who wanted to go on Taskmaster would do. Seems to defeat the purpose. I'd guess that people, both contestants and the audience, just started getting wise to the trick, and they cut it out before it got tired.
The last 2 series they've had to put more effort into adapting tasks to comply with covid, also knowing the studio wouldn't be in front of an audience. Hopefully we'll see them return in the next series
Did you see season 11? One of the best 'extra tasks' ever.
@@ratedRblazin420 “Fart. Fartest wins. Your Time Starts Now.”
There's an argument it jumped the shark in series 5 given there were three (four if counting Mark's extra task in the candle round), and honestly, Sally's felt kind of pointless. But yeah there was a four season gap until Mike Wozniak's fart task
Track Suit - That was genius! It never fails to make me laugh :)
I never noticed this till now: if we’re to assume Josh is reading the task verbatim, his counting tasks have no declaration of winning (“fastest wins” etc.). The trick was hiding in plain sight 😂😂😂
Must say the Track suit pun has me laughing every time. It's so unexpected and perfect!
26:26 I love that he's laughing and you can see him read the room and become serious
Easily my favourite of this is Jon's, he did those 4 tasks so well. Especially the make up tutorial, what a sport
Edit: whaaat it's not on here
BARUtubbig you’re right, i cant believe they missed that one!
Yeahh, shame it's not here though.
You could have watched before commenting
@@swanningabout Have you come to the comments section exclusively to make petty replies?
@@MisterAppleEsq Nope. It's just true. He made a comment before watching. Just daft.
that tracksuit is actually beautiful
No points for the texts was awful but it's lawful, when you think about it
I know 😂
When you really have a think about it!
he does mind it 😔
The perfect illustration of Lawful Evil.
i can imagine aisling’s mum going around in the town with the pineapple and telling everyone ”i’m helping my daughter with a task from taskmaster. yes, THE taskmaster.”
I love how Alex specifically chose Mark, his long time friend, to bully with an individual friend 😂 I’m sure tue revenge would have been of cosmic proportions.
I would watch the entire hour of Paul Chowdry in the bouncy castle, possibly daily.
Love coming to this old video and seeing people complaining about Aisling getting points when Mark didn’t…guys, she didn’t get any points. Her mom got a round of applause.
“I just thought you were bad at speaking.”
Stumbling across a clip of mark's text task was what hooked me into this show. Every aspect of this task is incredible, even out of context.
Josh's range of reactions still makes me laugh hardest at anything I've seen in the show. Mark's reactions are great as well ... and only later did I realize that he and Alex are best mates! Genuine betrayal! :D
"ill go and get me coat" is legendary
“I just thought you were bad at speaking” lmaoo
9:31
I always love the reaction shots of the others when they realize something is off
Josh frustration increasing is amazing and yet his technique kept improving he really is worthy of the title season winner lol
Josh Widdicombe's humiliated grin on the third solo task just cracks me up every time. I think I've watched it 15 times already, my god what a great burn. :D :D :D :D The subtle taunt just sells this so perfectly too.
