@billbauer9795 just that he'd used a name that rhymed with the first one so he could re-use the same ideas. Even though he wound up doing something pretty different, considering he had so little time.
yeah i'm gonna say good call on that one. no need to bring in something so controversial to a comedy show! (said as a canadian that has never been seal clubbing and is horrified it exists in my country)
It's probably more to do with timing, they'd already changed a tie-break task to a normal one (lasso Alex), so probably just replaced this one with that.
They're releasing all the versions of TM on the YT channel, so I imagine they would profit well from releasing these tasks that never made it to TV as exclusives. Would drive a lot of people to the channel and keep a recurring revenue stream for them.
Whats interesting about the cut tasks is the scoring on Taskmaster actually matters, its taken seriously as a competition unlike most panel shows. Often the winner is decided by a small number of points over second place. So by choosing certain tasks over others it could change the outcome of the series!
I've _always_ wondered about this. I'd be rather upset if they chose tasks to try to make it tighter, or if they altered what airs after live shows affect the outcome.
tbh I think most tasks might be disqualified for things like this here, that make the producers a bit nervous about airing it. If there are about 10 tasks more than are shown in the final edit, that's 2.5 per comedian to cock up. That doesn't seem like a lot tbh. Especially considering some of the comedians that have been on.
That's probably why Horne clarified no tasks are cut from the live studio recording, because effectively Davis's point judgement won't be effectived by the minor bias of cutting a few tasks...
The fact that a task as good as that goes to the cutting room floor is an indication of the sheer, outstanding quality of the programme. But it would be fun to see it somewhere.
This answers a question I have had. There was one task where the contestants had to find 10 ducks in the lab. One of them found an eleventh duck from a previous task. Which I had no memory of. It was probably an unaired task.
There once was another man, Horace Whose brother (you met him) was Boris They both were quite cruel To their younger bro, who'll Never be seen again. His name was Maurice
3:30 what a burn 🤣🤣🤣 And actually a genius second task that I could see being used in the actual Taskmaster tasks! Hope it would be used at some point!
Was there ever an explanation for the snake in the s10 task to fold up this tarp and put it into your chosen container? Because the focus on the snake and pointing it out in each contestants' task made me feel like there would be payoff and then there just wasnt
I think it just spiced up what would otherwise be "perform this chore". Getting various reactions from comedians to what they think is a real snake is good fodder for content.
They should do a special where they show unaired tasks from all the seasons. I feel like they could get a few episodes out. Even if just as a youtube special but honestly this is the only show that I know of that aired on TV and then landed on RUclips as well which to me is amazing because normally you see a funny show once and then it never airs again which makes them no money at all. Here they got potential for a youtube special. Oh and also for some reason Taskmaster is blocked in Denmark. No idea why but hey, maybe there is a good reason for it.
I really wish they could discuss more unaired tasks or put out clips of them. The idea that we only see about 3/4 of the tasks done is kind of disappointing. But I do understand that a lot of unaired tasks are likely unaired for a good reason and there is every chance that they get reused in a future season (possibly with adjustments to try and make them work better).
It was also probably fully edited before it ended up being cut for time. He may have seen those edited clips dozens of times giving notes on and approving different edits.
He leads production and has probably spent a couple dozen hours on most of them. They also test them etc. Not that surprising. It's not like he just turns up for the recording.
The radio presenter, Ed Gamble, Was unsure of his afternoon ramble, He was just on the hedge cos he walked off the edge of the path, and got stuck in a bramble
the only reason the producer would have to be angry is if you planned to release them all at some point in a special or something...otherwise, there is no reason at all.
It really makes me wonder about the season with Daisy May Cooper. I think the first task of the first episode everyone was disqualified (make the cup runneth over). It may have also been in that first episode that no one actually completed the task (get the most egg in the pan). Did they have tasks that people actually would have scored points and decided to go with failed tasks?!? Granted, there were a couple of funny bits in what was aired, but it was fairly annoying to have a couple of pointless tasks so close together.
That was the first COVID season, and some tasks were clearly affected, considering some of the contestants were filming before social distancing and some were filming during it (as we saw with the group tasks). So I wonder if some tasks had to be scrapped from the get-go, and they didn't have enough successful ones to fill the show with. They may have also had more of a strained production schedule and couldn't film as many extra tasks. Also, with that group's track record, I wouldn't be surprised if they just failed so many tasks that they had no choice but to include a couple in the cut. That or the results of some tasks were too boring to include and they'd rather show the failures than those.
In theb20 seconds Alex was given... There once was a young man called Reece Who chased down a big flock of geese He stole all their feathers And shaved down their nethers But that's not how you make a nice fleece

So much could be done. Footage is expensive. Get your money's worth. gimme.

YES PLEASE!!!!!!!
often they reuse them in later series' which is why they don't release them - so that they can still do them later.
@@lolacactus6609 Same with tiebreakers, since they don't very often get ties, so they re-use them in later series if they didnt get to use them first time it was filmed
But in later series, it is with different people. So, compromise: show the original task on RUclips after it is reused in a later series.
@@lolacactus6609maybe after they reuse them then they can release it🤔

There was the hula hoop one. It gave them a few months between tho.
@XogoWasTaken and yet both contestants failed spectacularly for different reasons.
Yeah I absolutely love the idea! Could work absolutely amazingly with the right set up.
I bet Sam Campbell would be fuming if he saw this _"this cool shit didn't go in but 'don't get hit by a roomba' did?"_
You think he didn't notice that some tasks that he filmed weren't shown while the one he thought was the worst was?
I liked the rubbish robots task it was funny.
I love how Alex just says "-and David Baddiel..." and both of them immediately start laughing
And everyone who has watched a single episode of that season laughed right alongside them.
What a great season that was
There once was a man called Baddiel
Who turned his task into a seal
I wish we could say
We’ll see it one day
But the scene was just never revealed
It's not about how long shows run
It's not about tasks that aren't fun

The editors know
They need to show more tasks chicks won

To make it a perfect rhyme, the last line could be:

Despite audience zeal
To reveal more Baddiel
Some tasks they must still conceal

Who folded a smashable seal
His plans were quite wicked
Gave a bad name to cricket

Gonna say it was David Baddiel's fault that task didn't make it to telly 😂
Ed did 42 tasks? But there are 10 episodes per series, and a minimum of 5 tasks per episode...?
I think he meant recorded ones - first one is a prize task and the last is a live one - so only 30 make it to the final episodes.
David might have actually won that one.
