The reason I love Rhod so much in series 7 is he’s the only contestant they’ve ever had that their main objective was to embarrass Greg and Alex as much as possible.
Well it was, basically, a DIY waterboarding. I'm actually worried that it didn't affect Alex more - what has Greg been doing to the poor man behind the scenes?
@@vicomi999 no you are right. It was not water boarding until maybe the end. what it actually was which is the ancient water based torture and execution method of water cure. The only thing missing from that was restricting his airflow by plugging his nose. In water cure you shove a funnel down the victims throat and then force them to drink water. They have to keep swallowing in order to avoid drowning and eventually their stomach is fit for bursting and they also suffer severe water intoxication. Other liquids used were bile and piss.

(3) As he said that everyone was expecting the fat Greg in a hat (Greg wasn't watching), 2 seconds, rest of contestants get the joke then realise Greg hasn't seen it yet. 1 second, Greg sees and reacts. Lift Off -The TaskMaster takes a blow
Rhod's genius lays in his ability to make the hosts regret ever agreeing to have him on (I assume Alex has at least some say in the matter) while making the production crew give into their worst inclinations by not saying no to anything.
@@tjenadonn6158 I think he has a personal relationship with Greg that goes waaayyy beyond just your atypical friendship... then add a TV camera being pointed in his face and you have a recipe for disaster.
Actual hell. Argumentative a hole is how I would describe him. How do you even have a conversation with this guy he’s so singleminded and set on his opinions it would be like talking to a brick wall that insults you
Greg expected some sort of bullshit. He has known Rhod for well over a decade, they have been friends for very long and I think Rhod's general sense of purpose can easily be pinned down as "go on Greg's nerves and cause as much mayhem as possible". But the sheer lengths he will go to in order to achieve that goal cannot be overstated. There is no being ready for Rhod Gilbert.
Having seen the couple of series of Ask Rhod Gilbert (when they were briefly available on RUclips), when Rhod would routinely find ways to punish and humiliate Greg, I wonder if Greg ever thought that Taskmaster might be some kind of payback. If so.... How wrong was he!? 🤣🤣
Rhod and Acaster are my two most favorite contestants across all of the series. I would love to see them back for the whole new season, not just extra episode. The level of creativity and fun they brought is too much
I actually found that James was quite whiny. He might've been trying to play a role, but the fact that Greg had to pull him aside and scold him once was proof he did not know what he was doing all the time. He also called Rhod and Greg's friendship favoritism, despite the fact that Rhod disqualified himself half the time and Greg gave James some easy wins because he complained too much.
@@sanddagger36 I could argue with this but honestly, I think the funniest part is that Greg pulled James aside to scold him, live in front of the entire audience, with his mic on, it got left in the final edit of the show... And you think that was him genuinely trying to get him to knock it off, and not just like. A joke.
I know it’s not totally an uncommon thing for a comedian to be playing a character, but I got the feeling at times that Greg got a little tired of James not showing his real self and just doing his Rodney Trotter character every episode
what i find funny is that rhod could have easily won the first task and absolutely scar greg by getting into the bath with his mother and chose not too despite it being 100% something rhod would do.
My favorite part about that first one is actually that Rhod apparently genuinely didn't expect Greg Davies' mother to show up to the taping of the show her own son hosts.
Edit: i stand corrected, see below @@CharlieQuartz do mind that "every taping" is 1 per series. They spend some time in the house with each contestant, and then a day in the studio filming the reveals and scoring.

@@tokeivo I went in to deep research to find out how Taskmaster films their show (one interview with the director and some blokes on Reddit). Filming tasks varies quite a lot to accommodate the comedians' schedules (Mel did hers in about a week, Mortimer did his before and after Spring). Filming in the studio takes about a week with 2-3 episodes done per day. I might show up for the first and last tapings, but for the ones between I'd have things to do! Most of the time honestly never makes it to screen as they're setting up and faffing around in what becomes the outtakes.
@CharlieQuartz Many shows will film multiple episodes per day. Penn & Teller Fool Us, for example, film multiple episodes or segments per day with the same audience. Each taping is about 2-3.5 hours for that 47ish minute show. Its usually a lot of checking and recording reactions like ooo and ahhh.
Alex has a stage persona. It’s not just the parts that are obviously a bit that are the stage persona, it’s pretty much every panel show and podcast he does when he acts like a totally different person than he does in real life.
I firmly believe that Rhod was not going to give those things to Alex, but production told him he had to provide protection so he ran around finding the things.
It's not like Alex was in any actual danger. The spear was aimed meters away and even if it had gone right at him it barely penetrated a decimenter through the caravan wall so it wouldn't have been close enough for any injury. :p
Rhod Gilbert is so funny. One of my fave comedians. And the things that people to do Alex on this show. Holy crap he takes a punishment. What a champion. One of the funniest is when he had to sit down bare ass on the cake.

@@ZapFosho Well you're in luck cause it's on youtube. Just search "Rhod gilbert tries to buy a single baked potato" it's absolutely hilarious. Literally one of the funniest sketches I've ever seen. Let me know how it goes!
Rhod having adhd honestly makes me understand this whole video make much more sense. I would do many of these things if given a time limit and pressure and then regret it deeply
@@jenelaina5665 I sortoff feel he won. The thing is he scored fairly low with a lot of the price tasks solely cause he well did something freaky or special for the sole purpose of messing with Greg. He was so close to winning even with doing poor with such tasks that even if he would gotten a few more 2/3/4 points a few times he would be #1 easily.
I think you're doing the task you're referencing a grave disservice, since you probably mean "Tie yourself up as securely as possible" -- and Rhod decided to flip the script all by himself!
Although they’re not the most talked about ones, satsuma-in-a-sock and golf are the most absolutely genius workarounds on Taskmaster ever. Like who else would have ever thought of those
In the task right after the staring task, Rhod had his eyes closed for about 20 minutes, and Alex pointed out that that would've beaten his 7 minute record. It's fun to see how the contestants get put in a certain task and then forget other options
@@xXJokerAtWorkXx everyone should do this to breed a superior generation of task solvers. Alex's kids will take over his duty as task-thinker-upper and have to escalate to much higher levels
It would have been an easy win here but in the Norwegian one the winner got to almost three hours (and then just stopped to get on with the day) so any eye-closers would have given up out of boredom before that.
One thing I love about the Closet video is that he said he was in there for hours but couldn't film anything because it was too dark and had to wait until it got lighter
I'm surprised for the blinking challenge Rob didn't keep his eyes shut the entire time. Go ahead, define "blinking". Nothing in that task said, "keep your eyes open and don't blink" it just said, "don't blink". Keeping them closed allows you to trigger your blinking muscles without "blinking" due to never having "closed your eyes".
That's literally exactly what Alex Horne told everyone after the scores for the task were handed out, but that's cut out of this compilation. He told them the solution was to just close your eyes before the timer starts and keep them closed. Your time would last until you finally opened them and thus completed the blink.. Then he embarrassed them by pointing out they had just been outwitted by his 10 year old son who told him the idea for this task including the trick solution.
7:11 my eyes have seen destruction and dispair, both limb and concrete, devoured by what can only be described as horrific scenes. but i can promise you, i never even once put my hand over my mouth out of shock being presented with those images, until today.
Greg’s in The Cleaner. It’s great. Different wonderful costar each week. HElena Bonham Carter is incredibly creepy in her episode. Loved David Mitchell’s too.
The moment 0:36 played and Greg made his reaction... I was in complete hysterics. I couldn't stop laughing for a whole hour and a half, and it made my stomach hurt and made me tear up while I was laughing so hard.
I always wondered how the world first found out about Gregg's relationship with BT, clearly, at this point he is just trying to own it and is past the point of caring but at some point, no one but himself could have known, what in the name of all thats holy managed to get him to first make that information public.
The one where Rhod is trying to figure out the light switches looks like me trying connect my pc, tablet, phone and internet so I have access to all my files from all my devices in sync.
Am I the only one who in the blink challenge thought, just start it with your eyes already shut? It's a lot easier than keeping them open and drying them out...
Rhod is the polar opposite of David Badiel. Rhod put no effort into the prize tasks (except this one) but put shit tons of effort i to the normal tasks. David put lots of effort into the prize tasks but fuck all effort into the normal tasks.
The reason I love Rhod so much in series 7 is he’s the only contestant they’ve ever had that their main objective was to embarrass Greg and Alex as much as possible.
He did not give a fuck about winning. It was entirely about embarrassing his friends. And it was brilliant.
@@LFCtvUSA Some people just want to watch the world burn.
I do like that he's also one of the few that ever gets Alex to involuntarily crack a smile on more than one occasion each episode.
Not only he isn't trying to win, when he wins he does it in an ep[ic fashion by outsmarting the task.
he also almost won even though he tried so hard not to.
easily the best contestant ever
“It didn’t look like blind panic, it looked like fairly structured torture “ Greg is spot on as usual 🤣
Well it was, basically, a DIY waterboarding. I'm actually worried that it didn't affect Alex more - what has Greg been doing to the poor man behind the scenes?
@@Dafmeister1978 I really admire Alex’s ability to keep a totally deadpan face in nearly all situations - such a useful skill!
@@Dafmeister1978 thats not how waterboarding works
@@vicomi999 no you are right. It was not water boarding until maybe the end.

The funniest part was how he went from genuinely having fun, playing a game of tag in a field, to that hahaha

Rhod Gilbert, if he wasn't a successful comedian, he'd be a criminal mastermind.
Who says he isn’t?
He could be moonlighting.
Rhod Gilbert as The Joker would be one hell of a prospect.
The duality of every Welshman
Why not both? 🤷🏼♂️
There is a fine line between lunatic and comedian, and I think Rhod dances back and forth across that line beautifully.
Rhod has snorted that line

You know, if he had the idea to move the hole, why stop there? Just reconstruct the whole hole around the tee, so it ends up in the hole in 0 strokes!
I love Rhod, his ADHD and his accent so much
me too! As someone with ADHD I can relate to him and I love his accent as well.

Same here with the ADHD, and I'm part Welsh. I just love Rhod.
Bless Alex for playing along and getting him lovely bottom out
His ever so slight doubletake was so perfect on the fez picture.
Rhod is on a whole new level, they need to have him come back for another season if he's down for it.
Rhod and Greg have been friends for almost two decades.
Rhod and Alex have known each other for a decade.
They knew EXACTLY what they were in for.
Crazy was an empty word before Rhod was born, now it has meaning
The results of his erratic and absurd mindset are mindboggling funny.
Poor Alex. He goes through so much crap for our entertainment
He writes it all I think he likes it 😂
@@gacha-0-avery553 I believe it was Rhod who asked Alex "What do you get from this? Is it sexual?".
I just caught in the quick change Rhod says "are you ready" and Alex just quick replies with a quiet "NO!"
Thank god Greg Davies chose comedy instead of becoming a supervillain.
the same can be said for Rhod Gilbert
Pretty sure Rhod chose both.
Greg Davies is great in The Inbetweeners & Man Down. Jessica Knappett is great in Drifters. Please give them new sitcom roles.
Greg’s in The Cleaner. It’s great. Different wonderful costar each week. HElena Bonham Carter is incredibly creepy in her episode. Loved David Mitchell’s too.
Watch him in the cleaner that he wrote. He is also bringing out another series this year he wrote
Julius ceasar was once asked for advice on conquering the welsh (after 4 failed attempts), his advice was simply "theyre all mad" 😌✊
With Rhod and James this was one of the best season for me.
you don't need to blink if you look around, moving your eyeball provides all the hydration
The moment 0:36 played and Greg made his reaction... I was in complete hysterics. I couldn't stop laughing for a whole hour and a half, and it made my stomach hurt and made me tear up while I was laughing so hard.
He's body positive. I like that
At 9:20 you can see the production crew losing their shit XD
I'd rather a viewers vote for who comes back rather than champion of champions, some of the contestants who lost badly were made for taskmaster.
They need to make a loser of the losers variant.
Never trust the public to make important decisions like that 😂
@@SquirrelNutkins
Tasky McTaskface indeed.
I'd definitely be up for bringing back Rhod and Johnny Vegas.
@@altaccout I don't think Alex ever wants to do so, iirc he mentioned once that he feels it would encourage losing too much or something
This must be the funniest thing ever in, like, the history of the world. I laughed so much I believe I may shed my colon.
I always wondered how the world first found out about Gregg's relationship with BT, clearly, at this point he is just trying to own it and is past the point of caring but at some point, no one but himself could have known, what in the name of all thats holy managed to get him to first make that information public.
Rhod is the best kind of crazy
The man... Is brilliantly and clinically INSANE. yet we love him for it 😂
Rhod "anything for the bit" Gilbert.
We need to get rhod on the show again for another season. Bloody brilliant
I feel a good follow up to the bath pic not being of Rhod, would have been for there to have been a pic of Rhod wearing a fez in the bath with her.
That season was funny.. :D Rhod vs Greg banter is +100
That double-take is simply the best ever!
The one where Rhod is trying to figure out the light switches looks like me trying connect my pc, tablet, phone and internet so I have access to all my files from all my devices in sync.
Rhod is one of the fine examples Taskmaster brought to the spotlight that some people Can just be Good at Cursing
Swearing is an underrated skill.
It's Jess' reactions to Rhod's tasks that make it even funnier!
Am I the only one who in the blink challenge thought, just start it with your eyes already shut? It's a lot easier than keeping them open and drying them out...
Thought about that and just closing one eye at a time.
No you’re not. Alex’s six year old thought of that too.
Series 7 is one of my favorites because the contestants felt the most diverse in character (in a fun deranged sort of way)
The look on the camera mans face during the "quick change" bit is priceless
Greg's reaction to the first is amazing
Rhod is the polar opposite of David Badiel. Rhod put no effort into the prize tasks (except this one) but put shit tons of effort i to the normal tasks. David put lots of effort into the prize tasks but fuck all effort into the normal tasks.
