In this Broadcast Award-winning, BAFTA and Emmy Award-nominated entertainment show, Taskmaster tyrant Greg Davies (Man Down, Cuckoo), with the help of his loyal assistant Alex Horne (The Horne Section and the show’s creator), sets out to test the wiles, wit and wisdom of five hyper-competitive comedians.
Comedians that have risked life, limb, and dignity in the hope of making the Taskmaster proud so far include: Frank Skinner (The Frank Skinner Show), Mel Giedroyc (The Great British Bake Off), Romesh Ranganathan (Asian Provocateur), Hugh Dennis (Outnumbered), Sally Phillips (Bridget Jones’ Diary), Rose Matafeo (Edinburgh Comedy Award Winner 2018), and Russell Howard (The Russell Howard Hour). Unaware of what awaits them in each wax-sealed envelope, only one competitor can become the victorious owner of His Royal Task-ness’ golden head and be crowned the next Taskmaster Champion.
The stray duck is still one of my favorite things
But what was the task where it was left there from?
@@MinekEzQM Ed Gamble did mention on the podcast that he'd also been searching for ducks for CoC II. But Alex says "it was years ago" so my low stake conspiracy is that it's been done more than twice
Was gonna say adore that
@@petgoose32 At this point in Taskmaster history, there could be any number of duck-related tasks that never got shown, so only God knows 😂
I would have loved to have seen Alex’s face when she found that
Shoutout to the editors, they're really the glue that holds everything together. Even with all these fantastic comedians it can't be easy to turn 100 minutes of duck searching into a funny and snappy 13 minute video. And to do it consistently across the series no less.
Did you also notice the blink on the chicken?
@@albertinemangercats8349 thank you for this🙏🙏😊
No doubt 😂❤❤❤
hold on. if they're funny, then why is none of the 13 minutes funny?
@@kittysplodeyou possibly might be a broken human being - not only didn’t you find any of this funny, but for some reason you’re watching these videos which are all funny in similar ways yet you don’t find them funny…
The literal red herring was fantastic, 10/10
The little 'yay' from the studio audience at 1:31 is everything to me
This might just be my favourite task of all 14 series so far. It's so simple and yet it has everything that makes TM great - creativity, rage, enthusiasm, surprise, madness, naked Alex, and Chris Ramsey saying "ducks".
Right?! I was so invested 😂
Judi's face in the dark has great potential for use in memes.
Already existing
Greg killed me off with the “I thought in father ted you played a character” 😆
God that show. I hear youre a racist mow father
Father Ted: "Come on, Dougal, find the 10 ducks in this room" Father Dougal: "Ah, sorry Ted, the best I can do is 3 hens"
For some reason the bit that was funniest to me was Judi: Honestly where are you from? Alex: West Sussex Judi: No.
So if I'm counting right all 10 (+1) ducks were found by different contestants: 1. sticker on the confusing little box (+ red herring inside) 2. UV ink on the task 3. inside the breaker box 4. lighting strip on a wall 5. sticker under the shoe 6. inside alex's mug 7. in the table leg 8. in the hen 9. sticker under the flooring 10. "canard" painted on a ceiling beam 10 + 1. UV paint on a wall
I would also argue that ripping off "no" from "no duck" label would be counted
@@kezzyhkoI think Greg might have allowed it, if anyone had tried. But it definitely wasn’t one of the official ducks.
I wonder if the Taskmaster producers also had to pay 300 Baht for those boxes.
Nah, they haggled
@@mikegreen3485 So, 300 Baht.
Confusing thought, isn't it?
@@bootieos7701 I mean, you can't open them, but you can, but you can't
Nah, they got a special price for a special friend
Just realised that Phil Wang's "confusing little box" actually has 3 "ducks"... the word duck, the picture of a duck and the phrase "no duck" contains a duck.
oh my god I knew I recognised that box
The two phrases are just one, the phrase "ducks" is just "no ducks" with tape over "no". You can see that reasonably clearly at 2:15. And it's obviously telling you this is *not* one of the ducks.
I thought the confusing little box was destroyed in a fit of rage?
@@amyshaw893 bought a lookalike maybe
@@richardpike8748 but did they haggle for it?
Loved this task. And the stray duck. Was not sure if all 10 ducks were found so I made a list: Stickers 1 - 1:36 on the puzzle box (+red herring) 2 - (4:14) 10:00 underside shoe 3 - 11:30 underneath flooring Rubber ducks 4 - 4:11 inside table leg 5 - 10:10 in tea cup 6 - 6:43 in electrical box Others 7 - 5:55 led wall light (to be switched on) 8 - 7:16 canard on ceiling (writing) 9 - 8:01 on Task with UV (UV light beside floor pannel) 10 - 4:45 inside chicken (speaker) +1 STRAYDUCK - 11:19 UV on wall
I'm gonna go ahead and give you 10 ducks for your effort, because I was too lazy to watch it again. 🦆🦆🦆🦆🦆🦆🦆🦆🦆🦆 Stray 🦆
@@SyBo27 Why didn't u give him a duck for the stray duck, so rude!
@@thejesident7138 Very true, i have corrected it.
5 points
This one goes to 11
Top questions science still can't answer: 1. What is the cure to cancer? 2. What is the meaning of life ? 3. *Is there a duck on my face?*
I would love for Alex to design an escape room. There could be a TV with him on it, "All the information is on the task!"
Constantly having to replace that TV might not prove cost effective,
One of the all time best Taskmaster tasks. My favorite thing is that there seems to be a direct correlation between how well they did and how much they hated the task.
10:40 Alex: "What's in it for me?" Judy: "I will let you live... "
The Red "Herring" in the box. Genius.
Chris Ramsey seems to be having the most fun in these. the shows where they review the tasks and get graded he is having just the best time. Sarah Millican is like that in series 14.
They're both from the same town
“Is there a duck on my face?” So unhinged
Chris Ramsey was one of the most consistently and sincerely joyous contestants there've been on Taskmaster. He's just genuinely amused by most everything & in any given moment that he's not, he eventually comes round to it LOL!
I sincerely mean this… you’ve helped me through the darkest time of my life… the loss of my 4 children in a car accident. This show is my absolute go to for happiness! Please don’t ever stop. Thank you to Alex for creating this masterpiece.
That is an utterly horrifying situation to have to go through, truly, truly abhorrent. I just can't imagine it. I hope you manage to hold onto whatever purposes you find, please keep in contact with those around you and don't shut yourself away even if it you feel guilty doing so, you are allowed happiness and you are allowed for things to get better. You have my sincerest condolences.
💔 my condolences ❤
"You're steering me with your thighs" is so poetic... Especially when they're wrapped around your head.
What it would be to be Alex at that time.
There hasn't been too many tasks better than this one to open a new series - so many funny & quotable moments.
IS THERE A DUCK ON MY FACE?
Def one of my favorite groups AND tasks ❤ 🦆So many individual moments just sort of encapsulate TM all on their own 😂 Such as: Judi: *casually takes out duck from Alex's teacup* "Honestly, where are you from?" Alex: "West Sussex" Judi: "No"
"Where are you from" is the second best compliment Alex ever received in my opinion. Right timing, perfect tone an mimics. My favorite is still Katherine Ryan saying "Oh I understand perfectly well. You're a madman" s2 ep3 "See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil" task.
this was an absolute banger as a first task of the series
So you need to know English, Spanish, French, and Swedish to be able to excel at Task Master
"people must have ridden you" I saw an interview with Greg where someone had written on a forum that they'd ride him "like a rabid dog through hell" or something similar
I'd like to know what the older task was with the stray duck on the wall😂😂
Apparently this task was originally filmed for Champion of Champions 2 but got cut because everyone was too good at it, so maybe that
@@iliketrains3495 Confirmed on the Taskmaster Podcast by Ed Gamble and Kerry Godliman.
@@iliketrains3495 oh, thansk for that!!
In fact it just occurred to me that in COC 2 it's highly likely that the task that replaced this one was Get the Duck In The Pond. Man Eds's disaster could have been saved if someone did really shit in this one on COC...
@@iliketrains3495 imagine if the original duck task was from a regular season then this duck task was from coc, and the contestant that did the original task remembered about the duck
"You talked about veins for quite a while" 😂😂😂
While i love contestants finding loopholes or doing tasks exceptionally well so they only need a fraction of the time to complete, Chris' contribution is amazing. He's so joyful and energetic.
This is my favorite lineup hands down
This is one of the task me and my boyfriend laughed pretty much all the way through. It's very chaotic. My favorite part is the stray duck and Greg saying "a bonus duck!"
God I love this show, 1 minute in and I'm already laughing "god almighty give me strength" 😂
Roommate: "We need to talk about the ducks."
2:10 So weird hearing Alex being slightly helpful, rather than the usual “all the information is on the task…”
This show is a joy
The Red (Richard) Herring really got me.
Thank you for putting all these vids up! I'm from Denmark so i don't really have any other avenue to watch this. Absolutely freaking hilarious show!
Sophie steering Alex with her thighs - brilliant.
This has got to be the most bonkers line-up of contestants the show has ever had. Normally you might get one oddball, but not four...!
Wait who isn’t the oddball?!?
@@tayanney sophie?? tbh this is almost entirely a cast of oddballs
@@bababooey2731 chris isn't a super-oddball, just geordie (and really stoked to be here).
@@BlairdBlaird just geordie 😂😂😂 yeah I was thinking Chris might be the most sane one out of the 5…but that’s not really hard to achieve especially with Bridget there!!
Chris I meant, but if you listen to his podcast episode, there's a lot of crazy going on under the surface to be fair!
I've seen this before but that still of Judi still cracks me up
This is honestly my favorite task and I hope one day they release the champion of champions version
They have
Please do a Taskmaster fan favorite/redemption series where contestants that did not win but were well liked are voted upon by fans and can compete again. Maximum one person from a series. For example, the lineup is: James Acaster Mel Giedroyc Nish Kumar Mike Wozniak Asim Chaudhry Please consider this!
Let's see how many more tasks can drive Nish so crazy that he involuntarily shouts, "I hate this show!!!"
There was something unsettling in seeing the chicken blink during Ardal's turn
I didn’t notice it in the episode, but it’s funny to me now.
I see that Phil Wang's infamous box made a return.
New series tomorrow woooooo
The first dude just kept cocking it up.
That looks like Phil Wang's box that Greg broke.
If writing counts then the word "ducks" on the task itself should also count.
How the hell do you not just tearing everything apart? It's not like this is the first ever episode of the show.
I can't believe they didn't give extra points for finding the red Herring
That looked incredibly fun!
Judy has the best laugh.
I literally just realised why that bloody thing was red. Thanks.
I think this is the best task in the history of the entire show.
This is one of my favorite tasks ever on this show.
I can't believe nobody argued about the duck/not duck stickers on the red herring box also counting!
Brilliant task. So simple, yet have it all.
This was glorious. I have experienced great joy.
The hen winking on Ardels had me so spun out 😂
*What color is he?* I laughed at that more than I'm proud to admit.
This is a hilarious and awesome task! I’d love to see the version from the Champions of Champions episode!
Are those boxes the same type Phil wang got Greg?
some of those shots, looked straight out of a wes anderson film
Chris' existential horror at discovering a duck on his shoe is iconic
I love how Ardal is so like Dougal. Like I thought Dougal's whole personality was an act, but obviously not!
3:40 it blinked!!!!
Very funny task, and loved the callbacks to other series.
That task was fu-can'ard.
Easily one of my favorites ever. LMFAO
"Are there ducks on the bottom of my AAHHHHHHH!!!!!! Two ducks!"
I would love to see where all 10 ducks were! The way it’s edited, it’s hard to tell.
Judi is becoming my absolute favourite contestant🤣🤣
I rewatched this just for the red Herring bit
Seek 10 wise beasts
Bridget is fabulous!
Anyone know what task lead to that stray duck being there? Would be fun to watch and connect the dots
Did that chicken wink at anyone else or was it just me? 3:40
Just you :)
I really liked ducks when I was a kid. Had a mug that had a duck in the bottom of it that was attached.
No idea what her name is but the second ladys outfit was pretty cool it was kinda like the exorcist cosplay
Bridget Christie
Seven ducks and one Richard Herring
The hen winks!
Is there a duck on my face?
This was fun to watch and I think it would be fun to participate in too. I wonder how I would've done. I was bothered by the first guy just standing around pondering instead of searching lol so painful.
WHen he finds the duck under his shoe and screams I lost it.
When Chris said "why am I paranoid about ducks?". Funnily enough, there is a phobia where the person who suffers it is afraid that a duck is constantly watching them (anatidaephobia) 🤭
You mean the fake one that was made up for a comic?
The task reads: "Find all 10 ducks. You must stay in the lab. Fastest Wins. You have a maximum of 20 minutes. Your time started when you entered the lab." But, don't they need to leave the lab in order to get the hens??
From what I can gather, the lab is the small curtained room, and the room beyond the curtain but not beyond the door out of the room, I think the lab is split into two sections (sort of how some places have a separate hall for disinfecting before entering)
is that phil wangs box 😂
Wait. Is that box with Duck and No duck Phil Wang's confusing little box?
Imagine being someone that gave Sophie Duker a piggy-back ride at uni.
00:08 - 00:18 Correct. And this is Taskmaster. And you are not suspicious already? :D Btw one of my favorite tasks. They found 11 :D And destroyed the lab. And the studio commentary also hilarious.
I liked the part when they said "duck."
the f***ing hen winks at us!
I thought I had imagined that LOL!
That's because it was actually a duck
Is that Phil Wang's box...?
Anyone else want to watch it again just to see where all the ducks were.
"Find all 10 ducks, fastest wins". Technically none of them completed the task before the maximum of 20 minutes. They all tied as far as the wording of the task is concerned
No ducks given.....😂😂
Show where they all were
does anyone know the task that the extra duck was put there for?
Wow, what a beast I bet the challenge was with real ducks, but she ate all of them.
