Guz reminded me of putting a GoPro on a dog and letting it loose. Those manic, excited eyes darting back and forth. The sudden stillness followed by the rapid movement towards any sound. Brilliant.
At 5:13, you can see Alex peeking out of the front door of the house only to see Guz screaming his name in the caravan, and then casually slide back in. Best shot of the task lol.
Alex breaking character and building a barricade was gold. He doesn't break character often, but when he does it's either because of something really funny or something he's doing that's wildy different than normal.
I just cannot deal with this task... Every single contestant was shining bright here! Victoria's accusatory tone at Alex causing her to exercise, Desiree's "STOP DOING THE THING I KNOW YOU'RE DOING, MAN!!", Guz's utter hatred for Little Alex Horne, and Alan's defeatist attitude and half-hearted snack... And then the absolute madness that is Morgana, running off shouting "BALLS, BALLS!" and being SO athletic! *Chef's Kiss*
2:42 Victoria is so polite that the ball doesn't touch Alex and she apologizes for throwing it, in contrast Morgana starts calling him a little bastard, this show is brilliant.
I love that later in Taskmaster history Alex created tasks that were basically him enacting revenge on candidates (score a goal and so on) where he can outwit them in real time =).
This task is legendary to me because it kicked off what would become my favourite season of taskmaster. I was falling off my chair with laughter, HYSTERICAL
The thing that amazes me about this is that Désirée figured out that Alex was getting the video feed from the camera, but didn't think to sabotage it (which wouldn't have been against the rules) by simply covering it up.
@@sillyking1991 It's not that hard to intuit. You have to find a person, and you have a camera showing your perspective, it stands to reason that camera shows the person you have to find your perspective.
@@scotthadden9816 But without knowing that Alex could see them it's just another of the many cameras they wear or see filming them throughout the show. So they are actors and actors don't mess with a camera. Multiple angles and all. Your comment seems obvious from our perspective, I thought the same thing. But as an actor they are used to wearing cameras and mics all the time. So messing with it or covering it isn't something that would occur to them unless they knew that Alex was able to get an advantage. Even seeing Alex with his cameras and phone wouldn't seem out of the ordinary for them.
I'm guessing that, as entertainment professionals, they have too much inherent respect for cameras to tamper with them. I mean, these people are all on TV a lot where there are more cameras than you realise sitting in the audience. Someone clipped a camera on them at the beginning of the task, and I think they'd no more take it off or cover it than they would remove their microphone pack. It's part of the equipment necesssary to make the show. And in some cases, tampering with a camera would mean you'd have to do the shot all over again. I'm guessing it's that mindset that Alex exploited. He knew they'd never tamper with their cameras.
I wish someone would have brought up at the end that Victoria was 3rd which means she was right in the middle of the pact making her the average or “benchmark” for slow😂
When Greg beckons you to the dark side "You wanted to hurt him. This is good my boy. Use your aggressive feelings, boy. Let the hate flow through you!"
Yeah, they meant hiding as in concealing himself in a location. And the task wording lets you know he's going to move since it says "Alex may not run."
If I had a nickel for every series that was won on the basis of a single bonus point, I’d have two nickels. Which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it’s happened twice.
Such a fun task! I love everything Guz does: his little scoot to the shed, throwing a soccer ball into the empty caravan, his crazy eyes in the gopro cam, "This is good my boy" *points*
It looks like time lapse footage of a plane's contrail moving across the sky. They're always editing in planes and stuff in the background if you look.
I know there is controversy surrounding the fact that Morgana won the series by just that ''Little fu*cker point'' over Guz. But I personally am fine with it since I think Guz was overscored in some tasks, best example is the ''Paint the space hopper green'' task which he got 4 points for which is insane to me.
i would have blocked the camera, it obviously doesnt help the contestant and it doesnt mention the camera in the task, so i think you would've been fine to block it
None of the men found the secret funny task win condition: Walk up to Alex with nothing in their hands and ask to look at the video, grab him and hit with a pelvic thrust. It never specified what kind of call to strike in with, so hit him with the Time Warp.
You can tell they are new to Taskmaster. By Episode 4 at least one person would just take off the helmet camera. 🙂 The task didn't forbid is therefor, it's ok to do it.
Guz reminded me of putting a GoPro on a dog and letting it loose. Those manic, excited eyes darting back and forth. The sudden stillness followed by the rapid movement towards any sound. Brilliant.
I love how much of Guz's attempt was shown through his face cam, it made it that much more manic
At 5:13, you can see Alex peeking out of the front door of the house only to see Guz screaming his name in the caravan, and then casually slide back in. Best shot of the task lol.
I didn't even notice. That is great. He has to have known he might be on the camera.
That's a brilliant spot hahahaha
great spot haha
i read caravan as cavern and was wondering where a cavern was in this video
nice catch
"So I've got to find the little bastard" - and THAT is when I fell in love with Morgana
And then called him a “little fucker.” I love her!
@@auntlynnie Yeah, how can one not love her? "Ball. Balls!" 🤣 Morgana looked like she was enjoying this task @8:26 with that mischievous grin!
the weirdest part of that is the odd face-cam angle and lighting made it look like she had sharp goblin teeth for a second when she said that
For me it was the dog task when she was reading the instructions and screamed "MOST ENGAGED DOG WINS!!!!!"
Alex breaking character and building a barricade was gold. He doesn't break character often, but when he does it's either because of something really funny or something he's doing that's wildy different than normal.
When did he build a barricade? I watched the whole thing and I didn’t see that?
@@jordan3400 6:17
Of course the barricade hindered him more than anything...
My favorite was when he had to eat the toothpaste pie where you could see how he was internally thinking about how absurd of a situation he's in
@@marcusmedina9940 that was hilarious lol
Ah yes, the classic "assault alex" challenge
@@jm1178 no it's just funny to say
@@jm1178 what?
It's funnier if you remember that he is the one that makes the tasks as well haha
Imagine if Rhod had done this, he'd have probably gotten a pellet gun and argued that its a ball
Giggity!
I just cannot deal with this task... Every single contestant was shining bright here! Victoria's accusatory tone at Alex causing her to exercise, Desiree's "STOP DOING THE THING I KNOW YOU'RE DOING, MAN!!", Guz's utter hatred for Little Alex Horne, and Alan's defeatist attitude and half-hearted snack... And then the absolute madness that is Morgana, running off shouting "BALLS, BALLS!" and being SO athletic! *Chef's Kiss*
Morgana gets no love?
And Morgana’s cussing! Can’t forget her! 💕
@@Subangelis I thought I wrote the part on her when in fact I didn't. 😅
It was PERFECT! Such a great start to Series 12.
Victoria throws ball: "I'm so sorry!"
Alex to the PAs before the task: "Now are you absolutely, 100% certain there are no snooker balls anywhere on site?"
/bowling balls/cricket balls/boules etc. etc. 😁
Golf ball
Testicle
wrecking ball?
@@stupidas9466 yep, my thought to, run at him crotch first.
One of the things I love about this task is it almost immediately lets us get a good insight into each contestant's personality.
"so i've got to find the little bastard" 😂😂😂😂
And then, “I’ve just seen him, the little fucker!” 😂😂💀💀💀
The face Victoria makes at 1:26 when Alex calls her 'Vic' really gets me.
Mans was so confident calling that singular cactus "cacti"
He almost called it Cactuses.
Everybody knows the correct nomenclature is "cactopodes"
2:42 Victoria is so polite that the ball doesn't touch Alex and she apologizes for throwing it, in contrast Morgana starts calling him a little bastard, this show is brilliant.
I love that later in Taskmaster history Alex created tasks that were basically him enacting revenge on candidates (score a goal and so on) where he can outwit them in real time =).
I like how Alex set a trap for Alan and then immediately fell into it himself.
Rhod would have locked him in the shed
And then set the shed on fire.
That bonus point for swearing is what won Morgana the series 😂
Or she just cursed everyone else to lose, like a proper witch.
Is it weird that I always pictured the main task room being upstairs?
Now you mention it, so did i. Never even realized i've always thought it was upstairs until i read your comment. Weird!
Pretty sure there is no upstairs
Nope, that's where I was until this video.
This task is legendary to me because it kicked off what would become my favourite season of taskmaster. I was falling off my chair with laughter, HYSTERICAL
5:28 I don't know why that hits me so hard, but I had a great laugh over it.
It’s the angle and how wide his eyes seem that does it for me. It’s so perfect.
Anyone else immediately fall in love with Morgana by episode 1,or just me?
“You can’t sit on Father Christmas’ face” “yeah you can 😏😏😏”
The thing that amazes me about this is that Désirée figured out that Alex was getting the video feed from the camera, but didn't think to sabotage it (which wouldn't have been against the rules) by simply covering it up.
Desirée was the only one who twigged that Alex could see what her camera was seeing. Why was that not given any recognition?
Just a thought... challenge never specified you couldn't block the camera, thus taking the ONLY advantage Alex has away.
they specified at the beginning that the contestants didn't neccisarily know that alex could see their personal cameras
@@sillyking1991 It's not that hard to intuit. You have to find a person, and you have a camera showing your perspective, it stands to reason that camera shows the person you have to find your perspective.
@@scotthadden9816 Its a shame Hugh wasn't on this, as that would've been the first thing he did.

"Alex may not hide"
Also Alex in the beginning: *hides*
Morgana is the real hunter here. Quick, calculated predator
I wish someone would have brought up at the end that Victoria was 3rd which means she was right in the middle of the pact making her the average or “benchmark” for slow😂
When Greg beckons you to the dark side "You wanted to hurt him. This is good my boy. Use your aggressive feelings, boy. Let the hate flow through you!"
My favorite series. Such a great cast.
I was kind of hoping one of them would wad the task up into a paper ball and use that.
Smart thinking. Could catch him unprepared too.
Honestly that's what I would probably do.
I'd argue that actively and intentionally moving out someones sight is indeed hiding.
Obviously they just meant that he shouldn't overdo it, like using a cupboard or blankets, nor climb up the attic.
Yeah, they meant hiding as in concealing himself in a location. And the task wording lets you know he's going to move since it says "Alex may not run."
that's cool...you're allowed to be wrong
hes skirting the rules just like everyone else
@@lhfirex You can move without hiding in any sense of the word.
Alex made this task knowing he was gonna have a blast😂
Morgana is my hero.
The helmet wasn’t mentioned in the instructions - so they were free to remove it!
Wherein we see the competitiveness, the insanity, and the frenetic energy that would eventually win Morganna the series. LOVE!!!
Love this one. A strong starter to the brilliant series 12. 💖
Which is more famous: S1's "f-ing beans" bonus point, or S12's "little f-er" bonus point?
If I had a nickel for every series that was won on the basis of a single bonus point, I’d have two nickels. Which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it’s happened twice.
just love how Gus acts like an angry mom looking for her kid who just ruined her favourite lipstick~ OMG XDDDDDD
I always thought that Library room was upstairs.
that was absolutely running there, in morgana's attempt
I’ll just have a snack is completely me 🤣🤣
THE CAMERA ANGLES ON THIS ARE BRILLIANT
Scrunch up the paper with the task on it into a ball and hit Alex with it as soon as you see him
Would crumpling up the letter into a ball count as a ball? It might be a way to end it quick :D
Do we strike you?
Did Morgana ever play Cruella DeVille in anything? For some reason she reminds me of Cruella a lot.
Guz reminded me of the "Allan" meme of the little animals yelling.
Such a fun task! I love everything Guz does: his little scoot to the shed, throwing a soccer ball into the empty caravan, his crazy eyes in the gopro cam, "This is good my boy" *points*
Guz darting his head around with the gopro on is one of the funniest images Taskmaster has ever produced
And whatever he was doing with the umbrella touching the ceiling
Guz was meant to be filmed from this camera angle at all times. This is how his eyebrows truly shine.
It makes him look like an Angry Bird, and I am here for it.
4:42 Whats that arc in the sky?
It looks like time lapse footage of a plane's contrail moving across the sky. They're always editing in planes and stuff in the background if you look.
@@howardyanow2883 Cool theory but its actually just water from a sprinkler, you can see it in other tasks
@@amyoakAnimation Oh yeah! I think you're right. I figured it was Alex's plane fetish again.
I know there is controversy surrounding the fact that Morgana won the series by just that ''Little fu*cker point'' over Guz. But I personally am fine with it since I think Guz was overscored in some tasks, best example is the ''Paint the space hopper green'' task which he got 4 points for which is insane to me.
id have screwed up the task paper to make my ball
What's that half circle moving across the sky at 4:42
Nobody thought to crumple the task into a paper ball.
This is a 100% legitimate reason for a corporation to own a residential property.
I like how NOBODY questioned the helmets on their head, or the go-pros and cellphones strapped to their chest..
For a bit, I thought Richard was in another season. Allan and him look a lot alike to me.
Also, love the vibe of this lot. 🥰
I'm surprised nobody scrumpled up the task into a paper taskball and threw that
Hide: conceal oneself.
"Juliet's first instinct was to hide under the blankets"
i'm a little disappointed based on previous contestants that no one found Alex first, then asked him to help them find a ball.
If only Vic BALLed up the paper with the task and threw it at Alex.
The guys were clearly at an advantage. They each had 2 balls with them when they started.
7:05 Did Alan really give Greg the finger here? The second time the camera goes back on him it looks even more that way.
8:35 smart thinking cheers.
I’m with Victoria on this one, deliberately moving out of sight of someone is pretty much the definition of hiding
Crumple up the paper and BOOM, paper ball.
Do we strike you? YES
2:07 wait, this room isn't upstairs? I always thought it's under the roof.
The shed? Or do you mean the room with the sofa that has french doors going to the garden that previous contestants have used numerous times?
@@toffee2547 Yeah the one with the sofa in it. And I have watched a lot of this show but never where the room is
Loved morganna in this one
Who knew that having a slightly ducky run would make her even more attractive?
My first thought, ball up the piece of paper with the task on it and toss that
6:43 woah woah alex clearly was running from that ball!
That timestamp is garbage
I was waiting for one of them to ball up the task (paper) and throw it at Alex.
pretty sure evading out of ones sight continuously counts as hiding.
The black hoodie guy sounds like a parent calling out for a misbehaving child
@@Shimaimashita Alan? Lyn's talking about Guz, I'm fairly sure. Given that he was the one wearing the black hoodie.
Victoria is cute with that helmet cam. She wears it on the bicycle task too.
i would have blocked the camera, it obviously doesnt help the contestant and it doesnt mention the camera in the task, so i think you would've been fine to block it
All of the contestants were too well behaved at school to think of a "paper ball". That would give them nigh instant victory.
What I'd do is simply cover the iPhone camera with the Taskmaster sticker, then just quietly sneak to Alex.
5:50 Yorkshire tea!
Nice catch!
Twinnings too
Surprised no one made a paper ball out of the letter
my first thought would've been to cover that camera 😂
Mine too, but that's with the knowledge that Alex is getting the feed
The fact no one turned the task paper into a ball and tossed it on Alex is really disappointing
starting a petition to have more challenges where Alex gets abused
I don’t think you need a petition....have you watched the show?
Are you ever going to put series 13 up here?
I would have balled up the paper and threw it at him. Then I wouldn't have to look for one.
I thought that title said strike Alex with a bat, and was very curious
I would really love to see previous contestants do tasks like this but I sadly never will.
I'm slightly dissapointed no one did a "i though it said strike him in the balls" joke
It would be quite difficult to pick between morgana and rose matafeo with forever on the line.
Why didn't anyone take the camera off? At no point does it say they have to keep it on
None of the men found the secret funny task win condition: Walk up to Alex with nothing in their hands and ask to look at the video, grab him and hit with a pelvic thrust.
It never specified what kind of call to strike in with, so hit him with the Time Warp.
Men have an objective advantage in this challenge.
_ALEX?!_
Yes!
_ALEX?!_
Yes!
Was there anything in the card that said they couldn’t cover the camera?
You can tell they are new to Taskmaster. By Episode 4 at least one person would just take off the helmet camera. 🙂
The task didn't forbid is therefor, it's ok to do it.
I thought Greg was going to give Morgana that bonus point because she hit Alex in the bum.
5:13 Juuuust in case
One question, why are some videos censored and some not
Alex is a pro gamer
Could they have made a ball out of the paper from the task and thrown that?
Alex update your pad! Olli Norwegians assistant even has the minus abbility
