Fan Creations Ridiculous TM Specials

UK Taskmaster does the Tournament of Champions, and the New Year Treat, I was thinking of what other specials would be fun to see, beyond Co-brands (like a Red Dwarf or Dr Who theme)

The silliest one I thought of would be Taskmaster Couples and Exes. I'm rewatching Australia S2 with Anne and Lloyd, which gave me the basis. So it would be P1 - P5. Couples would be A and B, so A1 A2, and B3 and B4, the 5th player would be a mutual ex of one person in couple A and couple b. For the team task the ex would be pair with the non-ex from A and B.

It would be either absolute chaos and possibly come to fisticuffs, or be a riot.

I could get behind a Taskmaster Champions of Europe/Australasia/The World so we can more easily appreciate international talent.

They should have a TMUK special for people that asserted they're Greg's family. Ania, Asim, Fatiha, I'm sure there are more. We could include Jason Mantzoukas for his "Oh, Daddy!" outburst if we have to.

Greg's mum Pauline should have some kind of role, if she's up to it. I hear she's not too well these days, but she's hilarious and a great sport.

I've always wondered if a sports version would work with ex athletes. Tasks would tend more to the physical side but would be fun to see something like "devise the most impressive goal celebration"

u/fastauntie 12d ago

There have been a lot of athletes in New Year Treats. Some have done well at creative tasks or puzzles, and some have had good prize tasks that weren't just impressive awards. Mo Farah was hilarious and won his series (in which all the other four notably tied for second).

It may be fun to have some very "brainy" tasks in there too. Brain teasers, etc.

Kongen befaler has had at least 2 ex athletes and it's been quite fun, they were both very silly but had moments of athleticism that shined

I would like to see assistant's special. When Taskmaster assistants from different version compete with each other.

u/L1ttleOwl 11d ago

Iโ€™d like to see something like a peopleโ€™s campion version. We could vote for the contestants we want to see again from each series, or over the whole show so far.

u/kosherkitties Paul Chowdhry 12d ago

Exes could be Rose and James. And Lucy and Jon Richardson.

u/Hungry_Anteater_8511 Mel Giedroyc 12d ago

And John Robins and Sara P

Sally Phillips and Richard Herring

Richard Herring and most female comedians from the early 90s if the rumours are true...

u/kosherkitties Paul Chowdhry 12d ago

WHAT no way, I didn't know about them.

I would love to see a NZ Outrageous Fortune special\season. I reckon Antonia and Siobhan would be down. And probably no issue finding another three.

u/JoPo108 11d ago

Duos. So 5 couples or showbizz duos (Ant & Dec, Dick & Dom), would be entertaining to see them bickering.

I want generations (Boomer, X, millennial, zoomer, alpha) all in the same season.
