love how russel's like 'ah one go i reckon' then in studio he says he's genuinely never done that before. the confidence
This is because he knew it would be funny when he missed with such confidence... And then he landed it and played it cool. Love it.
I bloody adore Russel, funny af and easy on the eye 😜
could it be... he lied in the studio?
@@davidberger3472 no? But he's prolly thrown a ball before ^^
@@andreaskarlsson5251 I promise you unless you've played cricket before no one can naturally do that motion. he has definitely played a lot of cricket
Nish celebrating on stage, while surely knowing what was coming, is great.
Apparently the producers/Alex caught him before the taping and said they were going to show that task and to ‘just go with it’! 😂
My favorite thing about Noel is it seemed like he had no idea what was going on for a ton of the tasks but he still won.
Noel often took a different and (usually) smart approach to tasks. Too long pool cue, curb stomp it to a manageable length. Hide in a bright yellow suit, have yourself edited in as a banana. What's in this case, find out with a hammer.
My favorite Noel moment was the exotic sandwich he created and ate🤣
Gotta love the reveals. nobody knows all the outcomes until the air times. sometimes there's a first time ace, and sometimes they gotta show what LOOKS like an ace and is really the 400th try. so hilariously delivered
This being on Channel 4 Sport is glorious
I can't be the only one who finds Nish's chip shot really impressive, regardless of how many tries it took
I'm still impressed by Nole's chip shot with a pool que on a Baby Bell cheese. These were all very impressive.
Anyone thinking that has zero spot talent
@@A1readyDeadbut fantastic typing talent
He would have gotten it in the first attempt. The ball was racist apparently.
it's criminal that Joe and his potato throw weren't included in this. the greatest sporting moment of our time.
Chris Ramsay’s striking the maypole first time is one of the best things to ever happen on Taskmaster
Joe Wilkinson casually throwing a potato into a hole on the first try is in the same hallowed group.
@@JurgenErhard I have never been through as much of an emotional rollercoaster as I did watching that
And his response was absolutely legendary!!
And Sally Phillips tossing a jelly
Especially in comparison to some ozher contestants
Niah Kumar’s basketball clip is so gold
“They’re all fun.” “No, they’re not.” God Sophie just tells it exactly how it is
Full pout in the voice 😆
Tony Three-Pies is a legend for sure
Didn't even show Noel snapping the cue in half? You know, the main reason he did so well in that task?
Get a job at channel 4 as an editor and change then
@@vladdracula299eat my pant
Hugh snapped the cue too. It's definitely not the main reason he did so well in that task, Tony Three-Pies has mad skills
Yeah, THAT was the main reason. Not just... doing it well. Hater ass mf.
Tony 3 pies is mad athletic as was proven several times, he's coordinated hence the strike. And being coordinated he knew to snap the cue in half
Haha Nish Kumar looking like an absolute champ with the power of editing.
i think john just found a a really good trolley with zero friction on the wheels. listen to how quiet it was compared to the others.
"zero friction"? Physics would like to have a word… ;-)
@@JurgenErhard That’s not even the most impossible part of that comment. The most ridiculous part would be the assumption that a luggage trolley without a janky wheel exists.
I don't think so because it was a different one each attempt
That basketball goal could have easily been tipped over to make kicking the ball through the hoop easier.
If we got to do these sports in school, I might actually have put some effort in as a kid. 😂
I love how alex converts it to sausages for the americans
But sausage lengths aren't standardized. Are we talking Brats, Keilbasa, breakfast links....?
In America, we standardized sausages. Brats aren’t considered a sausage, but they can be measured at 1.375 sausage lengths (sl) and 2.485 sausage widths (sw). We’ve found this to be simpler than the Empirical system and less baffling to children than the metric system (that we refuse to adopt out of principle).
@@KyLewin If it was for Americans, it would be in either hotdogs or your standard pizza slice. Sausages is for Germans.
With the way the show usually is im surprised they didnt highlight Russell being slightly past the stump when he threw.
Because Russell is "cool" whereas Joe "isn't". It made for better TV because the points aren't the point, entertainment is the point. Building a narrative arc of the highs and lows of the comedian over the season is important.
In cricket your foot can be on the line when it's bowled just not fully over until you release the ball. Like in the maypole task basically.
@@danielsteadman4210Also; Greg was generally working on finding a good balance on how strict things were meant to be, so it's no surprise that Russell was treated with more leniency compared to Joe back in S2
The rest of his body was also behind the stump and his throw started from behind the stump
He was definitely behind the stump when he threw, look again. His momentum carried him forwards _after_ the throw
No Joe and his potato?! I know he was disqualified on a technicality, but still...
Agreed! That's a prime TM moment 😂
I love Nish's reaction 😂
"Weirdy Art Nymph" LMFAO
The way they played Nish's basketball attempt, his celebration and then the reveal of what really happened was genius.
They should have an episode with any 5 from Russel Howard, Katherine Ryan, Ed Gamble, Rose Matafeo, Chris Ramsey and Josh Widdicombe. You know the ones giving proper effort to tasks. Would be lot of fun.
Whoa I subbed for C4F1 but Taskmaster is a sport now too? Hell yes 🥵
It always was. 😂
It's a mind game
The way Joe Lycett said "ping pong ball" is so delightful.
for the basketball with the feet one, i always thought: why not just knock it over?
I seem to remember Victoria doing just that.
@@TimoRutanen The basketball task was Series 5, and nobody thought to tip over the post (despite Mortimer being on the show). Victoria was in Series 12. It's not clear what task you're thinking of, going over the tasks I can't find anything similar. "Prevent Alex from scoring a goal" seems to be the closest mechanically and Victoria did rather badly there (Alan tipped the goal the barricaded it, got 4 points, Morgana turned the goal around for a similar core idea, but when Alex started propping up the cage Alan just guarded the goal himself, while Morgana kept kicking out the supports so the cage would fall back down, in the end Alex cut through the net with scissors).
I can’t believe they hid that gem of basketball but at the end.
concerning the last task: it did not say I can't lay the hoop on the ground
The fact that Joe was disqualified for his potato, yet Russel Howard was not for that cricket throw; is a new level of unfairness.
The difference is, Joe getting bullied is a channel 4 trope at this point.
The ball had already left Russell’s hand before he passed the stump
@@goliath_red1102 *passed
@@JurgenErhard thx
@@goliath_red1102 Russel's foot was past the stump, and on the red carpet. Yes, he walked past it after his throw, but his foot was past it before his throw
Task Master isn’t happy having its own channel and being in Channel 4’s? It’s now taking over the sports channel!
8:11 she definitely panned down 😅
Does Noel actually play golf? That was fairly impressive form.
In an interview he did about taskmaster he said he surprised himself because he doesn't play golf.
I remember him kicking the football too - in heels! Very impressive!
Joes potato throw should be in this video
nobody mentions Joe's potato throw
ahh taskmaster my favroute sport, when robot combat coming to channel 4 sport?
Bob skeleton, goth detective is on the show!
Tony Three Pints 😂
Pies
Nish's shot was more impressive when it was made clear that it was a result of practice and hard work, and not just some fluke.
2:28 I see a foul. It's possible my eyes deceive me, but he appears to be standing on red or not behind the post.
I wonder if Joe Wilkinson ever watches that Russel Howard clip and just cries at his toe being past the line, yet not getting called out for it. The tragedy…
he probably has a montage of all the infractions worse then his and in a secret room in his house he has a red green and that very potato cast in acrylic. After a few beers he watches his glorious moment and all those other infractions, weeps a tear, and passes out.
Did Russell get disqualified for going past the pole? I don't remember.
No, that was Joe Wilkinson with the potato in the green throw
@@yannickbaken4831 Thank you!
In cricket you only need to have your heel behind the line, and it doesn't need to be grounded, so it was a fair delivery. And the pole is a stump ;)
@@moe_dk Thank you for that information. I know nothing about cricket. 😅
@@moe_dk this is taskmaster, not cricket. The rules of cricket do not apply. The rules were you must be behind the stump, and Russel's foot was not. He should have been disqualified.
Best tv show Ive ever watched. (LotR excluded🤣)
Sport 🤝 entertainment
I could do this ❤
08:58 - What? No. Shut up. WHAT! SHUT UP!! DUDE! - Me 09:45 - Ah. More sense. Oh hey betrayal. Got you a coffee. - Also me
Wait a minute, where is joe wilkinson's epic potato throw? He at least deserves a spot in such montages after the injustice he suffered. we will never forget, joe! #justiceforjoespotato
Good seed as well from Russ
God I love shis show 😂
After many months i rewatched this and if you remember how strict the rules always are (remember Joes potato attempt? ) Russells atempts shouldnt be allowed 02:34 hi is standing on the red carpet and the rules says " you must make your attempt from behind this stump"
i guess you could argue that its a little different since joe's was you could not touch the red green (which i dont think he did i think his shoe was over it but i think the front was up off the ground lol). And russell was you have to be behind and most of him was.
Since every second comment on this video is about Russell being on the line, I guess here’s another one
lmao channel 4 "sport" still had a laugh tho
Russells foot was on the red green! He should have been DQ'd like Joe!
Said he has to take the shot from behind the stump, doesn't mention not stepping on red green
That's not how you spell Russell..
too bad russell crosses the post
So Incase you were not aware. A trash "bin" and a trash "can" are NOT the same thing. They are not interchangeable. All trash cans are also a trash bin but not all trash bins are cans. Lemme explain lol. So a bin is just a hollowed holder with a lid to keep the contents within. What makes it a "can" is when it's made entirely of aluminum. You can call that either a bin or a can. Nowadays most people have bins made of plastic rather than a bin/can made from aluminum, savey?
See in American English that simply isn't true at all. All receptacles you throw things away in are referred to as trash cans.
@@MissCaraMint that may be what people call it. But it is not a can unless it's metallic. Unfortunately most people have been using it wrong and not taught otherwise so they aren't aware of their fault and that's okay too
@@blakebrenton120 No it's an example of language evolving and changing. If most people use it the "wrong" way for long enough then that has now become the correct way. That's how language works. That's why dictionaries get constantly updated. Currently the Cambridge Dictionary defines "trash can" as: a container for waste. It also lists "bin" or "dustbin" as the UK equivalent.
@@MissCaraMint also look up the definition of the word "can" and that you will find your ultimate answer. Any dictionary will do. I'll wait
@@blakebrenton120 Honey. When you combine who different words representing different concepts into a new thing then after a time one of those words might not apply as fully as they once did. That's how language changes. A can is a can. A trash can is it's own separate thing now, and does not necessarily have to be can shaped anymore. Wellcome to the confusing world of the english language.
Channel 4 "sport" so desperate for youtube clout its raided the comedy cupboard
Why does Noel keep getting work? Then again, they kept Jimmy Saville employed.
So kumar is basically now copying james acaster because his political comedy really was shit
