Table of Content
I have dreams where I’m being sprayed in the face with a power hose manned by Rob Beckett dressed as a grandmother. S someone who tried to make a career out of live comedy, I should probably hate Taskmaster. Say as many different items of clothing as possible in alphabetical order.
Romesh Ranganathan’s looks like one that has fallen into a meat grinder. This was the very first task that the very first contestants opened on their first day in the Taskmaster house. Having said that, Roisin deserves a little less credit, saying just 48 words in total at a rate of one word every six and a quarter seconds. Tim Key won the task with an impressive 106 and a poem made out of all their best words can be found in this book’s appendix. If you get into triple figures you’re doing all right. In one of the more bizarre challenges seen on Taskmaster, the series two celebs were told to impress the Mayor of Chesham at the time – Peter Hudson.
Taskmaster: The Board Game
The task where the contestants have to score a goal from the furthest distance. Only Sian Gibson scores – even football crazy Iain Stirling misses, and he got the crew to bring in an especially massive goal for his attempt. The “special task” (ie, a task that is set for only one comedian to embarrass/demean them) where Josh Widdicombe has to sing the Taskmaster theme tune, and it’s exactly as bad as you’re imagining. The task where the contestants have to make up a dance with Horne to a set of ringtones.
Im using some found in the Taskmaster book. Any ideas of some fun tasks/games we can do in the park, beach or at home. Davies loves the footage so much that he demands to see a replay. From a different angle, above – and zoomed in.
Hide a pineapple on your person
Jo Brand pours a teapot over some washing up; Gamble gaffa tapes a pressure hose to Horne’s nipple and turns him into a single-breast-spurting mermaid. The task where the contestants have to keep a basketball on a moving treadmill for as long as possible without touching it. Most contestants lasted a matter of seconds.
Then DO them, as best as you possibly can. It doesn’t matter where you are (for most of them – some do involve you having things like a toaster handy), have a go as soon as you read them. That’s the sort of attitude we need in life. I believe in you (i.e. I think you exist).
Crying over cracked eggcups
The task where contestants have to get a gift for the Taskmaster with £20. While Key goes for book tokens, Widdicombe takes the show to new levels of creepy by getting a genuine, actual tattoo of Greg Davies’s name on his ankle. If you’re not willing to physically scar yourself for a show on Dave, don’t bother playing the game. The task where the contestants have to create an item that will engage a toddler the longest. Naturally, Sanders invents a game where children have to smash a plastic duck with a hammer to get sweets.
The task where the contestants have to provide the foley for Alex Horne’s silent film. Rose Matafeo ends up screaming loudly for about 20 seconds, and it’s genuinely harrowing. If you’ve opened your eyes again, welcome back. Mainly though, don’t worry too much about how little it looks like you.
The task where the contestants have to conceal themselves in a phone box. Sinha has a minor breakdown and decides to use members of the crew to cover him up. The task where the contestants have to do the worst thing to Horne and then do the best apology. Lou Sanders hits Horne in the face with a pie, covers his car in flour and signs him up for a bunch of online classes.
The task where the contestants have to find out a stranger’s profession but he can’t speak, he can only shake or nod his head incorrectly. Just nice to watch a pleasant old man nod his head at comedians as they silently curse him. The task where the contestants have to eat an egg the fastest. I know what you’re thinking, and yes, Osman shots it like tequila. The task where contestants have to paint a picture of a horse while riding a horse.
The task where each contestant has to predict what another contestant will do when provided with certain items (an airhorn, a £10, an apple). In a task all about predictability, Wang grabs an apple and shouts “Wang! The task where the contestants have to make the largest thing “properly disappear”.
The video, as it turns out, is footage of Davies, asleep in his bed, filmed from Davies’s closet by Gilbert. Up until this point in the series, Gilbert had brought in a picture of Davies in Speedos for every one of the prize task rounds. He could have just brought that in again, maybe put it among some Halloween decorations – but no. He breaks into his friend’s bedroom and films him all damn night. Because that’s the creepiest thing, and that’s what this show requires. The task where contestants have to eat as much watermelon as they can in four minutes – but they can’t feed themselves.
If somebody has both you’ll have to jump up and down as well. Squeeze as much juice as possible into the container in the allocated time. If people may struggle with some of the tasks, let people work in pairs or groups. You an adapt the tasks so everyone can take part.
You can find all the Stay Home tasks on the Taskmaster YouTube page – the first challenge requires you to throw a piece of paper into a bin, with the most spectacular throw winning. This series nine challenge challenged the celebrity contestants to write lyrics to the Taskmaster theme tune – the 30-second ditty played at the beginning of each episodes. Im hosting a taskmaster event for some friends in a couple of weeks and need ideas for some tasks.
Egg timers
Acaster decides to “draw” his circle by riding a bike while hula hooping. He immediately crashes, because he can’t hula hoop. The task where the contestants have to make the most accurate egg timer. Brand screams Jerusalem as loudly as possible down the phone to the waiting Horne, because the length of time it takes to sing it is the perfect cooking time for an egg.
Paul Chowdhry managed just four because he said things like ‘flannel’, ‘igloo’ and ‘mother’. Paul has been the least predictable of all competitors. Here are some of the easiest – and funniest – tasks you can do from the comfort of your own home. Doc Brown approached the task by singing a heartfelt ballad to the mayor, while Joe Wilkinson popped to the local corner shop and gave Hudson exactly 42 Calippo ice lollies and eight cans of strong lager.
