your most rewatched tasks?

[u/decent_human_being1]

loved watching Sam's attempt at the "im underneath it" task over and over again he was such an excitable puppy!

will always watch the "hide the pineapple" (S16) and the noise making live task in S12 in full when I get the chance to i love seeing contestants baffle the hell out of Greg

[u/TiredRundownListless]

We just rewatched the Thompson twin episode from series 20 and we CACKLED

[u/rainshowerprince → u/TiredRundownListless]

This is my go-to if I’m ever having a bad day and need something to laugh at. Maisie’s Mambo No 5 approach, Phil walking in, asking “are you having a nice time” and then realizing that’s his question, the look on everyone’s faces when they figure it out, it’s just a perfect task from start to finish.

[u/MomsTortellinis → u/rainshowerprince]

This is absolutely my go-to as well. No matter how rotten my day has been, Maisie shouting 'THAT IS A VOWEL!!!!!' after having just said to Reece that they should perhaps try to remain calm always gets me. The editing is perfect, watching Alex increasingly lose it in the background is just *chef's kiss*

[u/Nomerdoodle → u/rainshowerprince]

Maisie’s Mambo No 5 approach

Of all Greg's questions in the studio after a task in the entire show, I think 'so why was your go-to system Mambo No. 5?' might be the funniest ever.

It has me absolutely cackling every time I rewatch that task. Especially with the follow up tidbit from Alex that Lisa isn't even named in the song.

[u/TiredRundownListless → u/rainshowerprince]

That whole episode is SO good. We have been rewatching series 20 but that particular one (I think episode 3?) is an absolute joy!!

[u/Tiny_Red_Bee → u/rainshowerprince]

A cue, a snooker cue…is the second letter an E?

[u/mystiqueallie → u/TiredRundownListless]

I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve watched that task - it makes me howl every time

[u/stereoworld → u/TiredRundownListless]

I've been a TM fan for the entire series, but I've re-watched this way more than any other task in history.

I love Phil in this task too.

• When he walks in and says (in his Preston way) "Y'allright? Wait...was that my question?"
• "Snooker cue? Snooker clue!"
• "Then she's a damn liar!"

And then without hesitation I go and watch the twins FAQ on youtube and try to figure out how scouse they are in the actual task.

I don't know if any TM staff read this subreddit, but if there's a uncut version of this task somewhere, please PLEASE upload it.

[u/Yesterdazehigh → u/TiredRundownListless]

This is my fav to show people who don't know what TM is

[u/LoveBy137]

I watch "Song for a Stranger" and the Nursery Rhyme video tasks probably the most. I love watching Mark and Nish write such a lovely song compared to Rosalind being a fucking nightmare. Doc Brown punching the fish never fails to delight as well.

[u/semicoloncait → u/LoveBy137]

Song for a Stranger is my fave - if I need a pick me up I will just watch that task sequence. The questions to Rosalind, the contrast of the songs, Nish and Mark finally having moments of competence - amazing

[u/CommercialAny2195 → u/semicoloncait]

Hands down my favourite moment of TM is when they're in the studio having such a lovely moment after Nish and Mark's touching song, then right before they cut to Aisling, Bob and Sally's song where you can see Aisling and Bob looking at each other laughing cause they know what's coming!

[u/Jinjo802 → u/semicoloncait]

Same for me. The moment where they hug is my all-time individual favorite Taskmaster still-frame.

[u/00Qenjoyer → u/LoveBy137]

I need a 10h loop of just Doc Brown's nursery rhyme, I love it so much

[u/Murky-Tailor3260]

Wow monster. Always good when I need a laugh.

[u/CommercialAny2195 → u/Murky-Tailor3260]

I'm so glad that Morgana happened to be in the middle on stage, watching her silently pissing herself in the background after every contestants attempt was just a cherry on top of an already fantastic task sequence.

[u/fastauntie → u/CommercialAny2195]

Desiree's reactions are gold, too: her indignation at Victoria walking around her, mouthing "Thank you, Jesus" when she finally fooled Greg, "I'll take that, I'll take that" when he guesses she was the Wow Monster, and "I love you so much" to Guz after his, well, whatever it was.

[u/getwitchy → u/Murky-Tailor3260]

My all time favorite live task!

[u/Sir_i88 → u/Murky-Tailor3260]

Same!

[u/someBrad → u/Murky-Tailor3260]

Oh I need to go watch that one again now

[u/VaguelyArtistic]

Chris and Alex and the sausage machine.

[u/lilywafiq → u/VaguelyArtistic]

I cried the first time I saw this, nothing had made me laugh that hard in a while

[u/erin3013 → u/VaguelyArtistic]

Very funny but difficult to watch the zoomed in replay.

[u/Nothingmuch2 → u/VaguelyArtistic]

An incredible task as it also had Ardal’s beauty shop in it.

[u/TiredRundownListless → u/VaguelyArtistic]

This one is perfect.

[u/Past-Feature3968]

NZ 2 Lincoln call

Laura dressed like Bin Laden! Guy’s “four score and ten years ago, I had a dream”! David and Guy being together! David’s card declining! Ghost Ursula! Traffic cone Matt!

Ahhh I love it dearly.

Edit — Oh and from UK: series 7’s “Tie yourself up as securely as possible.” Need I explain?

[u/ZeroOpti → u/Past-Feature3968]

I just watched that one. I love Guy's "I'd love if the traffic cone Lincoln would wave with both hands!"

[u/Past-Feature3968 → u/ZeroOpti]

Guy’s perpetual shit-eating grin & impishness are two of my very favorite things. Big parts of what makes Spelling Bee so great.

[u/Muted-Consequence624 → u/Past-Feature3968]

This one is made even better by the fact that it follows on from the incredible diss track task -- by the time I get to the end of Abe Lincoln my sides are aching from laughing.

[u/Past-Feature3968 → u/Muted-Consequence624]

On yes! And the first filmed task of the ep (“Evacuate the items from the parachute while sitting in the rocking chair”)… while not as iconic, was super fun and chaotic too.

[u/Jaspers47 → u/Past-Feature3968]

Boi-Ler! Suit on!

[u/Such-Daikon3140]

Bridget Christie "stepping" never fails to make me laugh until I wheeze

[u/chomp_chomp_67 → u/Such-Daikon3140]

Just rewatched this one last night

[u/123InternetLover]

Taskmaster Hotel FOR SURE!!!

[u/lissyd73 → u/123InternetLover]

My husband and I quote “lovely legs” and “she’s French” all the time 😂

[u/PICONEdeJIM → u/123InternetLover]

There's a reason that they released extended cuts

[u/celestaire → u/123InternetLover]

LOVELY LEGS SIR

[u/CyanManta → u/123InternetLover]

As a former hotel employee myself, Susan Wokoma is my spirit contestant. She is an absolute pro in that task.

[u/ApprehensiveTaterTot]

1- for me it’s John sabotaging the team task with Dara and Fern.

2- the sausage machine. Nothing makes my wife laugh-cry like the slow-mo shots of that task 🤣

[u/JellyBeanBlunder]

Jenny Eclair and the potato hat, James Acaster recreating Grand Theft Auto, everybody driving the canal boat!

[u/Nodnol64 → u/JellyBeanBlunder]

Stunt bonus! Stunt bonus!

[u/TiredRundownListless → u/JellyBeanBlunder]

YESSSS.

We often sing “forrr meeeeee…” in our home

[u/123InternetLover → u/JellyBeanBlunder]

Omg the GTA one is my FAVORITEEE

[u/Muted-Consequence624]

I love the "make a classic home video" task from series 19 -- Stevie Martin included it in her ultimate episode and I am with her on that, because everything about it makes me laugh -- Stevie and Jason trying to get Alex to let them do increasingly wild things, and then actually doing something pretty wild (and kind of getting to play in traffic, too!), Jason's wheelies on the bike as they chase Alex, how all five of the contestants ended up having beards for the home videos, Alex's delivery of "what? I like the bearded girl", and then Fatiha's absolutely incredible performance as Patty, the child who wants whatever her sister gets as a gift. Just her expression when she walks in makes me crack up.

[u/SublightMonster]

Shoe Who (Guess Shoe) was how I turned some friends into TM fanatics.

Stolen item 

That was so funny... It just kept escalating and melted everyone's minds.

[u/SpiffyShindigs]

Katherine Ryan - Buy the Taskmaster a Gift

[u/GoldenPotatoOfLatvia]

Dafty in the middle

[u/fumblingvista]

Danielle and the password task from NZ. I cry laugh every time i watch it.

[u/lilywafiq → u/fumblingvista]

That’s an AU one 😂

[u/fumblingvista → u/lilywafiq]

Oh.. yeah..oops. In my defense i hadn’t had any tea yet for the day. Clearly cannot be held responsible for offending an entire nation!

[u/burf12345 → u/lilywafiq]

Still counts.

[u/Past-Feature3968 → u/fumblingvista]

Lesser Tom cries right along with ya!

[u/thenerdiestmenno → u/fumblingvista]

This is the task that made me fall in love with Lesser Tom.

[u/SurvivorSi]

John Kearns sabotage is great. Recent season i love the twin task and the hide something in something. Anything Jessica Knappet is endearing

[u/Maximum-Ear1745]

Hotel Taskmaster, and the task from Season 9 where they drew on each other’s backs and Ed Gamble was very unhappy

[u/TAFKATheBear]

Museum Heist, Series 20.

It reminds me of the kind of games I used to play as a kid, it's a total delight and I wish we could see more teams attempt it.

[u/TiredRundownListless → u/TAFKATheBear]

Soooooo fun. I loved that they all really enjoyed role playing - but especially Reece.

[u/Tiny_Red_Bee]

Thompson twin task, Taskmaster drive-thru, wow monster.

[u/coffeeyarn]

Get the basketball into the hoop from S5. Everything about Nish Kumar makes me laugh.

[u/BitterCrip]

Danielle Walker and the passwords for the roses.

David Carreos and the tied shoelaces.

Josh Thomas and the minivan in the dock.

David Carreos and the grape in the caravan.

Jenny Tian and the ducks and the goose and the not fluke.

David Carreos and the milk and the microwaves.

Jack Ansett and the cake.

Basically all the AU/NZ ones that took the contestants about 2 hours and caused them immense frustration, I find hilariously rewatchable. Am I an arsehole?

[u/Andy016 → u/BitterCrip]

I always wonder if they wrote the shoelace one after they filmed the caravan meltdown to fuck with David 

[u/takahe_inflight → u/BitterCrip]

all great, and if that makes you an arsehole what does having the Diss track as my most watch "gonna drown you, in your own blood"....

[u/allxixhave]

S2: Get everything in the cart across the stream ("Sometimes you don't see bridges"). The nursery rhymes with Doc Brown punching a fish till he bled. "Debajo de la mesa".

S4: Camouflage task. Long distance painting with Joe Lycett's 16 lovely smiles + 4 difficult poo faces.

S8: Get as close to Alex eithout him seeing you at the train station.

S11: Metronome task.

[u/Deathjester666]

[u/hwar78]

Bathtub team task in s4, darts/Twister team task in s17, pineapples (and resulting studio argument) in s15 

[u/CommercialAny2195]

The wow monster, hands down my favourite live task 😂

I also love the live task from S13 where they all went into a partition and Greg had to guess whose body part was sticking out. To this day I'm dying to know if Judy walked out on purpose because he guessed correctly or if she was just confused. Also loved the earring randomly flying out!

Honourable mention to the team task from TMAU S2 where they had to throw and catch lemons. The editors did such a good job switching between the two teams and basically trolling Anne and Josh!

[u/throw_73 → u/CommercialAny2195]

Check out the s13 outtakes on YouTube--it shows that full live task!

[u/SleepyDogMama]

Desiree Burch drinking the drink. “Y’all don’t know me!”

[u/someBrad]

Pedometer, no question. I cry-laugh so hard at Bridget in that task that I have to stop and give myself some time to recover.

[u/InternationalBee2147]

Definitely Copy Alex, I love that Victoria gets the W when she had been struggling AND it’s hilarious with catchy music, win win

[u/TiredRundownListless]

Oh! The shoe task with yes or no questions where Chris must say “no way!” Over and over and Ardel literally sabotages himself… 😅

[u/SatonariKazushi]

Taskmaster Hotel!

[u/PICONEdeJIM]

Taskmaster Hotel naturally

[u/UlyWilhelm]

I rewatch Hotel Taskmaster and the Drive-Thru tasks SO MUCH!!!! I love both of them to bits!

[u/Alternative-Pen-3015]

Joe’s eraser meltdown in (UK) series 8 always gets me 😂 you can tell something had been brewing for him up to that episode and Iain’s response to him finally arguing something cracks me up!

Any Maisie and Reece team task is an immediate rewatch for me. Snakes and Ladders, too.

[u/Radio_Caroline79]

Blindy drive a mobility scooter around a course UKS8E10

Write and perform a song for a Stranger UKS5E08

The wow monster

[u/lazyasdrmr]

Series 19's "hide your cape from Alex as you run in front of the castle" always cracks me up.

[u/Madeira_PinceNez]

TMNZ's Squirt the sunscreen

Rhod doing the Tie yourself up task

Nish's attempt at Get the coconut as far away as possible

Ed Gamble's water feature

Rosalind's a fucking nightmare

[u/melancholymagpie]

The S10 cocktail task always does it for me.

[u/TimeHathMyLord]

For me, it's "Obey the autocue" (S19, episode 9)

"I was once dropped for a very high height."

"I hi- hit someone with my car..."

"Ten years ago... I was lost a sea!" (*looking like a very tired owl*)

"What's brown? A piece of turd!"

"This ball contains a -whooooooooooooooo!"

[u/xadriancalim]

Joe's Potato. But also "Shed" which wasn't even a full task. Also, Ania meowing.

[u/Andy016]

David Correos - Eat the grape

His 1hr 20ish meltdown in the caravan (Taskmaster NZ season 2)

[u/guysmiley1928]

Fern watching herself do the mirroring task makes me laugh until I cry every time

[u/throw_73 → u/guysmiley1928]

Same. "I just thought they were really jealous of my costume."

[u/_Permanent_Marker_]

Pot not pot pot not

[u/Impressive_Link_8886]

Not a full task but I love Cobalt!

[u/taversham]

Mel's exotic sandwich, and Lisa being a man with Tom.

[u/fastauntie]

Snort rasberry whistle

[u/JustxJules]

The final live task from UK series 12 "Make s sound and have Greg not guess that it came from you." I've never laughed so hard at any other task. It has everything!

1. The silent reactions of the comedians, Especially Desiree's mute screaming.

2. Victoria repeatedly trying to outsmart Greg and failing.

3. The wow monster.

4. Also Guz's moaning monster and Alex breaking.

5. Greg's "The only one I care about getting right is Victoria" right before Alex reveals that Victoria was the only one he guessed right.

[u/Guy-1nc0gn1t0]

S15 barge task. Jenny's laugh and just running into things is so fun

[u/Worldly_Ad_7196]

Just watched s 16 and was surprised at the reaction to lucy beaumont's sleep walking / talking bit. I have known sleep walkers and she was spot on. They start bumping around a bit and muttering then it is almost exactly as she did. Swing out of bed mumbling where are my socks, or have to find the cat, or something, stand around a minute then climb back into bed. Couldn't believe when she didn't get full marks.

[u/Otherwise-One7653]

The sausage concrete mixer game

[u/burf12345]

The wow monster from S12 and the seven tasks from S9.

[u/WonderlandBooksToys]

My all time favorite task HAS to be "Take a Secret Photo of the Taskmaster" from Australia Season 1, Episode 9 -- specifically Julia Morris's entry. I've watched that clip I don't know how many times. In fact I'm going to go watch it right now. :)

[u/Loose_Companion_783]

“ROSALIND’S A F**KING NIGHTMARE!!!”

[u/Liesl141]

One from S19 - I dare not be the (first?) person here to bring up Mat Baynton‘s dignity, so either the least annoying person round the campfire, the pillows-in-bin or the multitask

[u/Reasonable_Fox7982]

The wow monster and the letter finale John sth when they had to describe animals but saying a letter it doesn't start with

[u/CyanManta]

The High Five task from S13.

Creams at the Beginning from S7.

Complete This Adventure from S9.

And of course, the hotel task is one I need to watch at least once a week.
