I wonder if the tongue/spit task would have been way shorter if they chosen a different taste from sour, like just got with chili pepper hottness.

Also has the UK had a game show scandle like the US , a scandle so bad that Congress got involved?

I just kinda wanted to brag about this here because I love this show and this guy so much.

Cool, but even his own official TM channel still has some copyright muted audio for some of the episode uploads.

lol at copyright and youtube I guess?

Also lol at the rng chaos of the duck bucket studio task.

I know its more work for video editors, but I would like if all 10 episodes had unique openings, Chris's trick-or-treat- "I'm Paul Williams" line has been foreshadowed for like 9 episodes.

"gently caress!"

Clearly little Alex Horn is trying to turn the NZ house into THE Taskmaster master compound where he;s going to bugout there and be an assistant to whoever becomes TM of the post end world.

the cookie live studio task reminds me of a Rhythm Heaven game.

also good remix of the take the "fewest steps" restriction in a task. also once again funny AU english in calling a sausage a snag.

Oh gently caress! Should I just start on 15? It couldn’t matter if I haven’t seen the rest….could it? :ohdear:

sorry you have to watch everything in order, the game show has a very deep lore with foreshadowing.


Also my introduction to the show was some user posting the potato clip and the red-green misstep. a marriage destroyed.

so the perfect way to do the bucket task is to put one item in buckets 1 and 14 and then just nest the buckets? in ascending order?

Jul 17, 2010
Alex and other assistants should do fake out part two-ers.

just have a wax envelope that says something nice. "youre doing great super star!" (oh and then sometimes do the great metroidvania troll thing of there being another layer. but since this is real life, its either another compliment and a fake point or a bonus extra credit task)

Had an idea this evening for a homework task - suitable for homespun Taskmaster productions as it's free and easy
code:
Take a photo of a cloud that looks like another object.
The cloud that looks most like another object wins.
You have until the studio recording.
Your time starts now.
Task-master's assistant's notes: when you gather the photos from the competitors, get them to declare to you what object they think the cloud looks like. During the show, present the photos one at a time, and ask the Taskmaster what they think each cloud resembles. If the contestant falsely claims that they saw the same as the Taskmaster, interject with "You told me it was ____" immediately.

Seems like it would be particularly good if you were running your homespun TM as a birthday treat for the Taskmaster, because it gives them two things to do - guess what each cloud is during the round, and then give out the points for a subjectively scored task. It could work as a substitute for the prize task if you don't want to burden your competitors with the cost of providing a prize.

finally my email-me-a-cloud-a-day subscription has paid off.

I think Series 1, episode 1, Eat Watermelon is probably one the best pilots ever.


Hell I also think this current series intro opening "brace! brace!" is also a great platonic atom of Taskmaster.

having actual cash would ruin it, the whole point/fun of some games is some people get weirdly tryhard about points that dont matter at all.
