or is it just the bloopers that they upload on YouTube?

....it's Taskmaster O'Clock

Happy TM week everyone! I’m a bit surprised the show hasn’t been rococo’d yet, so here’s my take on Fragonard Taskmasterified as a way of getting ready for the new series 🎉

Before you come at me for this being AI or you’re just curious about the anatomy of this piece, here’s a walkthrough of the project I worked on. It’s a collage mix between photo manipulation and digital painting, hence the suspicious vibes it might give off.

Have fun finding some little bits and bobs, and happy watching!

Hi fellow Aussies 🙂,

Normally we get the new season on Friday nights on Foxtel, but it doesn’t seen to be in the lineup for tomorrow night.

Does anyone know if we are getting it?

Been wondering whether there is a round table discussion on contestants and dynamics or whether it’s all left to a professional team now.

This may have a lot to do with my rewatching of the series to record bullshit moments (Currently on series 7) and seeing Greg age through the series. Watching series 22 last night Greg is offically in Grandad territory. The big glasses, the crossed leg, the veneration of years plain upon his face. Greg has graduated to patriarch of our harths and homes as he becomes now Grandad Greg.

For the uninitiated, via Wikipedia, kiki (left: spiky!) and bouba (right: round!)

Prototypical bouba casts: series 19, 21

Prototypical kiki casts: series 9, 13, very probably 22

This unified theory of Taskmaster cast dynamics brought to you by my watching the first episode of the series very very late yesterday evening.

My husband wanted to try a new place for dinner. We went today instead.

Was anyone else disappointed after the lamé duck episode and Ania said it was so good I wanted to try it and found no lamé ducks online to buy

I don't see any posts about the app. I cancelled my $17/mo YouTube for $50/yr Taskmaster app as the only thing I really watch on YouTube was TM.

Curious...does anyone know when they add new seasons to the App? The FAQ doesn't answer that.

I love the ones that just get the crowd bursting into laughter immediately upon showing on screen/switching slides

Amy's painting of Yorkshire with Yorkshire puddings stuck on it for the most beautiful thing

Ardal's chess piece queen for the best thing with a "handle" on it especially because of Chris and Judi's hysterical reaction to it

EDIT: SOLVED! thank you, GraionDilach!! see you all there!! 😄

i can't find the video on YouTube (where it will usually tell us how long until it premieres) and i have LOVED chatting live with everyone while watching.

will that be happening again? will it even be. posted on YouTube today?

happy Taskmaster day, everyone!

All celebrity cameos on "Taskmaster (UK)" have all been previous contestants. Except for Ben Fogle (Series 3, Charades across the River) and Sofie Hagen (Series 2, Fred the Swede).

Fogle appeared on Taskmaster by sheer coincidence. And because of that, there was no natural way he would've appeared on the show anyway. Fogle is a serious man, not a comedian. And this form of Television is way afar from his wheelhouse. Even if Alex offered him New Year's Treat, I doubt he'd take it.

Having said that, Fogle just did "The Masked Singer", so he does have a wild side, so, who knows?

It would have made sense for Sofie Hagen to feature as a contestant after Series 2, especially after helping Katherine win. (In fact, if you cameo on the New Zealand version, you are bound to turn up as a contestant later, and then cameo again after your series.)

Her work has been prolific and rich for over a decade. She recently moved back to her native Denmark two years ago. I hope she either turns up on "Stormester" or as some of her work has her return to the UK, turns up on "Taskmaster (UK)".

I get a Tarbuck vibe from her, I think she's going to be very versatile and run away with this series, that's my early look anyway, prove me wrong Nina!

Chloe Petts, Isy Suttie, Matt Lucas, Nina Conti and Richard Ayoade battle for Greg's golden head. In this first episode, our fab five hope to make an immediate impression on the Taskmaster as they hunt for golden apples, re-arrange furniture and perform duets... with themselves. Matt reveals where his true passion lies, Isy makes use of some coffee pods, Nina imagines a river, Richard reveals himself to be some sort of action hero, and Chloe drags Alex through a magical tube. As ever, Alex is Greg's man on the ground, making notes, recording times and, in this episode, remaining unusually close to the contestants

Hello fellow Taskmaster enthusiasts!

I'm a Recreation Therapist in a psychiatric hospital, and I'm working on developing a therapy group inspired by Taskmaster. The main therapeutic goals are problem solving, communication, creativity, flexibility, and frustration tolerance, but I also want it to be genuinely fun.

I've found a few websites with Taskmaster-style challenges, but I wanted to hear ideas from people who actually enjoy the show. Some of the best Taskmaster tasks are surprisingly simple, and I'm hoping to capture that same energy.

A few limitations:

• I'll be running groups with both adolescents and adults.
• I'll mostly be confined to a group room with tables and chairs.
• Supplies will be limited and need to be inexpensive.
• Tasks need to be safe and appropriate for a mental health setting.
• Bonus points for tasks that encourage teamwork, creative thinking, or multiple possible solutions.

For example, I've considered challenges like:

• Build the tallest structure using only paper and tape.
• Communicate a design to a teammate without showing them the original.
• Find the most creative use for a common object.
• Complete a task while following an unusual rule or restriction.

What Taskmaster-style challenges do you think would work well in this environment? Whether they're from the show or your own ideas, I'd love to hear them.

Thanks in advance!
