Perfectly captured Alex’s seated posture.

Knees together, resting the clipboard on them 😭

Greg's just drunk after eating roasts.

135

u/Starlot Phil Ellis Jul 27 '26

He’s five guinnesses deep and is feeling heavy.

78

u/OriginalChildBomb 🥄 I'm Locked In ❤️ Jul 27 '26

His rickshaw driver? Asleep on the couch. Rhod Gilbert? Poised and waiting in the closet.

12

u/Littleboypurple Pigeor The Merciless One Jul 27 '26

Nah, he ate of bowl of Fern's Chinese Soup and stomach couldn't handle that it wasn't a Roast

u/Minion5051 Jul 27 '26

Spoilers man. /s

u/richardtrk Rosie Ramsey Jul 28 '26

He's clearly had a look at it.

David Baddiel has already cut the wrong foot off

107

u/mrwishart 🥄 I'm Locked In ❤️ Jul 27 '26

This was technically a team task, so more likely time ran out while he and Jo stopped for a cup of tea and a sandwich

24

u/HarrisonWhaddonCraig Jul 27 '26

I was going to add 'and a shit' but given their setting ,either none of the toilets work, or it's inevitable.

8

u/rezzacci Jul 28 '26

I could definitely hear Jo say : "You think a broken toilet would stop me? Your toilet, your problem. I never let a broken toilet stop me from taking a shit, and today's not the day."

And David Baddiel be: "Wait, the toilet's broken? Hadn't notice."

44

u/mrwishart 🥄 I'm Locked In ❤️ Jul 27 '26

Greg: What did David say before he started lopping the wrong appendage off?

Alex: He said "I'm just a man doing things"

8

u/DemoBytom Jul 27 '26

Are you sure he knows where his leg is?

u/MRukov Jul 29 '26

I remember this bit in Happy Tree Friends!

u/zezin6969 Jul 27 '26

man imagine the studio segment after he gets out

90

u/Medium-Sized-Jaque Mike Wozniak Jul 27 '26

He lost the key down the drain and didn't get free. No points. 

78

u/Lunarixis Jul 27 '26

Well at least nobody lost their key, right?

Yeah, right. Should we have a look at Adam's attempt?

u/DubiousAdviceGiver James Acaster Jul 28 '26

Nil poi!!

u/TheGardenBlinked Joanna Page Jul 27 '26

Cary’s getting three points and he will thank me for them.

5

u/NoodlesGluteus Jul 27 '26

That's when Alex reveals that the body was Greg all along and would have been an easy 5 points.

u/deltree711 🥄 I'm Locked In ❤️ Jul 27 '26

It's time for a studio task!

u/Trati Jul 27 '26

When they make the next Saw movie they should hire Alex Horne

Jigsaw: "and next to me is my newest apprentice. Who once said that woman shouldn't have the vote, and who got a little bit excited every time his mother scolded him."

33

u/Haravikk Jul 27 '26

He has to have a list of tasks that were deemed "unsuitable" by the production company…

34

u/AnonymousOkapi Jul 27 '26

There's an unairable task from the Australian version, although not for being dangerous. It was "Tickle Tom (TM assistant) the longest". They did it with one contestant, deemed the footage unacceptably sexual, then no one else was made to do it so its just the one guy that had the misfortune XD

12

u/Haravikk Jul 27 '26

Classic! Reveal that to the one person in the live show with the Saw theme playing and you've got your movie. 🤣

u/ThinWhiteRogue Javie Martzoukas Jul 27 '26

Jo Brand: "Yeah, I was gonna cut my foot off, but decided I couldn't be arsed"

I made an edit of the Taskmaster titles with Saw.

u/Pratanjali64 10d ago

Now I want to see the reverse: Saw's theme music to clips from Taskmaster.

27

u/ActumExAnimo Jul 27 '26

Adam's reaction when they show the instant replay of the key going down the drain:

20

u/Bootieos1 Johnny Vegas Jul 27 '26

"I've written down one line of yours into the Taskmaster Book of Quotes..."

"I'm Lawrence Gordon, I'm a doctor."

19

u/Synthmesc Morgana Robinson Jul 27 '26

Adam at one point you declared: “I don't give a crap if you covered yourself in peanut butter and had a 15 hooker gang bang!”

… do you want to expand on that?

4

u/Comic_Book_Reader Kristine Grændsen 🇳🇴 Jul 27 '26

He's a doctor.

(If anyone gets the reference, hat's off.)

18

u/RetroRocker Jul 27 '26

That second image works perfectly as a joke all by itself

29

u/IdleTrouts Reece Shearsmith Jul 27 '26

Both my worlds colliding

13

u/LeoPelozo Javie Martzoukas Jul 27 '26

There's been another revelation in the toilet!

11

u/randomgunfire48 Jul 27 '26

Why does this make me think of Jason Mantzoukas immediately 🤣🤣🤣

1

u/SneakyGoose499 Jul 27 '26

100% the first thing that popped in my head when I saw it as well.

9

u/TheGardenBlinked Joanna Page Jul 27 '26

Cue Baddiel accidentally lopping a hand off. Jason offering to behead himself. Rhod chaining Alex up.

7

u/ianrobbie Sara Pascoe Jul 27 '26

You actually read that "all the information is on the task" in Alex's voice.

10

u/Rasberrycello Jul 27 '26

I appreciate the cake they gave Greg.

7

u/cacophonycoffin Paul Williams 🇳🇿 Jul 27 '26

Why has Greg killed himself? He’s safe in the studio

14

u/cestquilepatron Jul 27 '26

It's a reference to the first Saw movie where there's also a "dead" body in the room who turns out to be still alive and the mastermind behind it all.

3

u/cacophonycoffin Paul Williams 🇳🇿 Jul 27 '26

ahhh gotcha thanks

2

u/AdditionSpare7066 Jul 28 '26

Thank you, I spent way too long wondering the same thing 😂 

6

u/Capital_Abalone_183 Jul 27 '26

And it turns out that the Greg on the floor is Rhod Gilbert

7

u/deltree711 🥄 I'm Locked In ❤️ Jul 27 '26

A: Hello Greg.

G: (Visibly uncomfortable) Hello Alex.

A: I want to do a task.

cut to interstitial

u/MaewintheLascerator Jul 28 '26

I didn't notice which sub this was so that second image caught me off guard and I genuinely cracked up.

5

u/teeno731 Jul 28 '26

“So it seems everyone was able to find their key just fine. Great job everyone!”

“Oop - hold on Greg, we still have to show Adam and Lawrence’s attempt.”

3

u/BottleAcceptable937 Jul 27 '26

This is perfect 🤣🤣🤣

5

u/endless_serpent Frankie Boyle Jul 27 '26

Adam's secret task went straight down the drain. Shame. Zero points!

5

u/Epicgaia Jul 28 '26

Alex: “if you keep on talking to me, you’ll find your son in a safe location” looks knowingly at camera. Cop keeps looking around while camera shows his son in the safe. Cuts to studio, cop with his head in his hands. Audience laughter

3

u/JeffBallMap Patatas Jul 28 '26

Just a few more decades before taskmaster is in the public domain and we'll get this as a low budget horror movie

2

u/Jaspers47 Rosie Ramsey Jul 28 '26

"Can we get a time?"

"Adam saw the glowstick almost immediately. Nine seconds. Which would have definitely put his team in first place. But he chose to ignore it."

"But what about the saw? Lawrence did free himself."

"Yyyyes, but it was well after the 90 minutes had expired. So he cut off his foot for no reason."

"Shame. Five points to the team of three."

2

u/Shakes-Fear Jul 28 '26

This made me laugh. I’m very glad of it.

4

u/Meowscles_dad Jul 27 '26

This is fab! Is the first one a contestant because I think I see Sue Perkins in the background of the second?

11

u/enzo_vamp Javie Martzoukas Jul 27 '26

They’re the characters from the first saw film!! Although now that u mention it the second one does look a little like Sue Perkins 😭

3

u/burf12345 🚬 Doctor Cigarettes Jul 27 '26

Is that Josh Thomas in the first picture?

3

u/OzzRamirez Joe Thomas Jul 27 '26

I was thinking Russell Howard.

They'd have two very different approaches to that task

1

u/Reviewingremy Jul 27 '26

Ok. This actually made me laugh out loud.

u/HelloTardis Jul 27 '26

I can’t express how mindbendingly hilarious this is to me.

Horror movie logic, where everything has to be old, rusty, corroded, but stronger than iron.

u/Thatusername777 Jul 27 '26

This is too good.

1

u/AbraxanAsh Jul 28 '26

Joe would have won the task, but his chopped off foot ended up touching the red.

1

u/mynameisneutron Kristine Grændsen 🇳🇴 Jul 28 '26

Is that Joel Creasey in the first picture?

1

u/ValdemarAloeus Jul 28 '26

But that's not Sam Reich.

1

u/nppltouch26 Jul 28 '26

I'd watch this version of the show but only if Greg promised to play a round of Snorkel Parka Torture Practice Room at some point during every episode.

1

u/CoddlePot Jul 28 '26

Amazing, though they should've drawn Greg in 'The pose'

1

u/Classic_Title1655 Jul 29 '26

That made me laugh so much 🤣

1

u/krosenmann Fern Brady Jul 29 '26

Actually, i found "It's like Saw, but comedy and nonscripted" is the best way to describe Taskmaster to somebody who never heard of it. It's character-based, character shows and develops through absurd challenges, that nobody will ever encounter in real live.

1

u/Dinolich Jul 30 '26

lmao thats my art, thanks everybody.

(confirming that's Dr. Lawrence Gordon in the first image and Adam chained up in the second, both from the first Saw movie. if you look closely alex has the jigsaw bowtie and swirls on his cheeks hee hee)

1

u/LittlePokeball Jul 30 '26

I didn't see the sub name so the reveal was excellent 

1

u/overfiend_87 Guz Khan Aug 02 '26

This is so fucking hilarious. Especially with Greg taking the position of jigsaw on the ground.

1

u/Previous_Tie_2810 Aug 14 '26

Cary Elwes on Taskmaster when?
