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.
In the end, his attempt is declared null and void. Wilkinson stares into the void as he tumbles from first on the leaderboard to last. In Davies’s words, “a genuinely harrowing moment”. The task where the contestants are told that when they hear a siren, they have to stop whatever they’re doing, put on a boiler suit by the door and lie down on the floor. Closely followed by the task where contestants have to tie themselves up as securely as possible … and then that siren goes off. Acaster’s face as he hears the siren, midway through tying his feet up, his whole world crashing around him as he realises what that means – a 40-minute set-up for a glorious punchline.
Hide a pineapple on your person
The task where the contestants have to fit a stuffed camel through the smallest gap. While others pulverise their camels to fit it through tiny crevasses, Giedroyc drives to the nearest high street and runs through the entrance of a Baby Gap. The task where one contestant has to name as many obscure animals as possible, and is then told they have to act them out to their teammates. Chaudhry makes up “the eight bollock cat” and then has to sadly mime it to Tarbuck.
It was recently announced that the cult hit was moving house to Channel 4. As a result, we were already fairly certain that we were in for a long wait before new series 10 episodes landed on our screens. And now, with much of the TV and film industry halting production and pushing back release dates, it's probably only going to get longer. The difficulty with this is won't they have to be doing them all at the same time? You could definitely do a prize task to bring, but really the games would have be similar to the 'final task' of the shows. The task where the contestants have to make the tallest beermat tower and also ring the doorbell outside once every few seconds.
Crying over cracked eggcups
Create a scene beforehand and change it afterwards. Ask them to spot the difference without telling them that was the initial task. If you’re setting challenges to complete at home, make sure that everyone can access the equipment they’ll need for your tasks. Think about how you’ll involve everyone in the group.
The task where contestants have to create a watercooler moment using a watercooler. Kumar kicks it ; Bea tries to go sailing with it ; but the best is Phillips, who, naturally, has sex with it . The task where contestants have to land an egg, from a balcony, in a frying pan several metres away on a giant podium.
Will use some of these ideas and will do a write up of the days events. The task where contestants have to guess what the Taskmaster is thinking of – a horse or a laminator. In a remarkable display of telepathy, Brand gets 13 right in a row, terrifying Davies and potentially marking her out as the next Uri Geller. The task where contestants have to make up lyrics to the Taskmaster theme song, and Matafeo blows everyone away with her country-and-western inspired tale of Greg “a tall old man” and Alex “with a brain full of corn”.
Use thesafety checklistto help you plan and risk assess your activity. Additional help to carry out yourrisk assessment, including examples can be found here. Don’t forget to make sure all young people and adults involved in the activity know how to take part safely. Contestants are placed into groups of two or three and asked to complete the task together.
Cooper and Herring turn from reasonable, well-respected comedians into wild, watermelon-obsessed beasts, gorging themselves until their clothes run red with melon blood. The task where contestants have to eat as much watermelon as they can in one minute. Widdicombe carefully opens it and gently spoons it into his mouth ; Ranganathan immediately throws it on to the ground and starts shovelling flesh off the floor into his mouth like a zombie .
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 everyone did all the tasks well the show wouldn’t work. Forget it and move on to the next one . So read them, yes, in your head or, even better, out loud.
Johnny Vegas creates a contraption with a stepladder, jokes about falling off the stepladder and then immediately falls off the stepladder. The task where the contestants have three items and have to eat one, throw one in a bucket and balance one on a pole. After four contestants struggle in vain, Sally Phillips steps up without a word, balances the Weetabix, throws the jelly straight in the bin and eats the Twiglet. The task where the contestants are told to make the most exotic sandwich they can … and then told to eat their exotic sandwich.
What else could have made self-isolating and social distancing more bearable than the Taskmaster, little Alex Horne delivering weekly tasks and hilarity in #HomeTasking? Contestants have to find the satsuma in one of 30 socks hanging from a washing line – by sniffing, hitting, listening, etc. Wang thinks he has found it, but when he checks, it turns out it’s a lime. He takes it well – by screaming “It’s a lime! But as it turns out, I don’t hate it, I love it.
Lolly Adefope’s “dance” routine involves a moment where she gets hit on the head by Horne, forgives him and tells him that “friendship is truth”. The task where the contestants have to play charades across the River Thames. This one gets in mostly because, within minutes, Sara Pascoe gets distracted by a passing dog. The task where the contestants have to create the best stop-motion movie with a potato.
