    List of fails that are definitely candidates for a part 2:
    - “Without moving the fishbowls”
    - Hugh’s fat bald white man
    - Russell Howard’s big announcement
    - Roisin failing to eat any melon in a minute

    Romesh descent from "OK, I've got a plan" to "mild annoyance" to "swearing and shouting at teabags" was hilarious. That and "I've just realised I should probably wet them". But then he gets on in and it's like he's the champion of the world. This is why I love Taskmaster.

    • @michaelccozens
      @michaelccozens 3 года назад +9

      If I were Romesh, I think I might have argued Frank's cardboard-assisted throws. The instructions were to throw a teabag into a mug, not to throw a teabag and then have it slide into a mug. And, really, is it a true TaskMaster task if it doesn't involve at least some petty bickering over semantics? Lol

    My favourite "team building" activity like these was from when I was 17 doing a BTEC first in public services, which basically means a sociology degree for idiots. A Duke of Edinborough award for dropouts. Its a makeup credit. We were in the peak district in the UK. In a shared acommodation. We were expected to get up at 4am, jog on the spot and form a line and go on a 3 mile run. Well Me and a South African fella called Joe Colman decided screw that. We talked to several members of our team and we had the fortunate luck of being the last room for rollcall. So we got up. Did the jumping and ran as far as the door. We shut it behind them and went back to bed. We thought we'd get an earful. The teacher pulled us aside and said "i wish you'd told me first. I'd have joined you. We're getting chips in Matlock" He was trying to be so stern, he couldn't and just dropped the facade. He was a great teacher and after that "incident" taught us a great deal. A BTEC uniformed public service degree it was called and was meant for people to go on to become officers in the military. My teachers hated the course. We hated it. Not because military service isn't important. It is. But it was because it was deemed the sieve to catch those who failed to hit a grade. My GCSE Maths was D Grade. Officers aren't looking for a grade to become systems engineers or businessmen. They are career. Our teacher knew. We knew. So for a year it felt like MASH. lol. We were Hawkeye and Trapper that went along and did what we were told and did it well. But push the military situps and routemarches? We'd sly rebel.
    Mr Smith ( generic name I know, but anyone from Long Eaton, England knew him) gave me this advice over an illicit glass of wine: "you got a D in Maths? Tell em you got a pass and if they question it? Then it's an accounting job. Your'e an idiot for applying. Anyone else will ignore it and get you an interview. You seem alright to me Grimes. You're not an idiot, you've got your head screwed on. You aren't military. He passed away in 2015. But he was such a teacher. He was right. I wrote C in maths on my CV and I've held a job for 10 years. Lol Colman? I wish I knew. We made a good row team. One of our tasks was navigating a white water rapid (jeese it sounds like juvinile torture) me and Colman just went ahead. Saluted some women, us taking the piss. He motioned to them and loudly yelled "Mr Grimes" I yelled back " Mr Colman" and we saluted as our kyak. Sorry "canoe" drifted. lol. Good times

      One juvinile task was at midnight we were told to jump out a jeep. We had to navigate using a map and boil a pot of tea in our base ( how british) on a midnight task that covered 20 miles on map. Obviously our target was HQ . How were we supposed to round up 50 odd teenage prats. We tasked it all to one guy we nicknamed "grey fox" after metal gear solid and was the gung ho guy who wanted to be military. I was tasked to look after "bravo" the team of women who were on the course. We smoked and joked until our man was inside the walls . He radioed "callsign something" then we kicked up a stink. We had a great laugh. Grey fox won. The teachers shone a torch on us "we caught you" we laughed and went silent. When the day was done and we were exposed as the decoy? Lool Colman and I laughed
