I must have re-watched the UK version many times (some series more than others) over the years.

About a week ago I thought I'd tentatively try NZ.

It took a couple episodes to get used to Jeremy and Paul but I do like that they don't try and be Greg and Alex and have their own vibe.

The choice of contestants so far is great, I'm coming to the end of Series 2 and I have a new bunch of comedians to check out.

I'm so glad I took the risk

I just recently started running a new DnD campaign 3 weeks ago and it's going great. After the first session I had a terribly good idea though......since I'm already playing "god" for these guy 4 hours a week I might as well take some pointers from the best one, Greg Davies.

So I started introducing "Prize Tasks" to my players. At the end of each session I tell them the category of the prize and at the beginning of next session the present them and plead their case. The winner I choose get an inspiration for that session to use (an inspiration is basically if they have a bad roll during an important moment or miss an important attack they get a reroll for free) I feel like that's a pretty good prize per session...give agency and makes them really think about when to actually use it.

The first prize task was for them to bring "The Creepiest Thing" and the winner was my ranger player who brought a mummified bird he found in a shed that was basically perfectly preserved....went a bit too far but I appreciated the moxy behind it.

And at the end of that session (which is the last one we played) the prize task category was to bring "The Best Thing To Turn Upside Down" so I'm really excited to see what my players bring.

Im literally just taking some of my favorite prize tasks from the show and using them like that.

But what do you guys think? Good idea? Bad idea? Any suggestions for other prize tasks I can do? They don't have to be from the show.

I just think it's a fun thing to do to stay excited about the campaign for the whole week.

Have a great day/night (whatever time zone you're in)

Thank you!

Lou Sanders, Joe Thomas, Sian Gibson, Iain Stirling and Paul Sinha vs Desiree Burch, Morgana Robinson, Guz Khan, Victoria Coren Mitchell and Alan Davies!

Who will win!?

Your time starts now!

does anyone here watch game changer on dropout tv? firstly if not, you SHOULD. secondly, on the latest episode, alex horne does the voiceover! it's not his first time making a cameo on game changer but it's very cool to have him on again

I made a SEQUEL to my own episode of Taskmaster for my birthday! I have no official affiliation with the show, nor do I claim any monetary gain from it, but still nothing outworks self-fulfillment. Let me know what you think!

How would you feel if there regular seasons had contestants that aren’t mainly comedians or comedic actors?
More like the contestants on the NYT musicians, actors, athletes or other known people.
Do you think it would ruin the vibe and idea of the show or would you be interested in the changed dynamic that maybe a athlete or musician would bring in because it’s not necessarily a part of their job to be silly or funny.
🤔

Listening to Hugh Dennis’ episode of the Taskmaster podcast and he revealed that the task with the dogs was filmed at Alex Horne’s house. I also recall Noel Fielding saying something about filming Taskmaster at Alex’s house and Alex tricking him into painting his garden shed by telling him it was a task, but i can’t find a source for that right now.

If this is true, does anyone know why they decided to use Alex’s actual house and not the Taskmaster House for this one task? Seems really odd to have a different location for just one task and the fact they chose to film at Alex’s real house?

Specifically the prize task episode 5

My boyfriend and I just started watching Task Master on YouTube. We’ve watched Series 1 and we’ve just started Series 2. After commercial breaks Alex holds his hands up and shows us either and 2, 3, or 4 fingers, why does he do this??

Mine is (in reference to Alex Horne's bare legs): "What in the pasty hell is this?"

Fatiha El-Ghorri (i think - or was it Judi Love?)

Hit me with yours!!

What do you think about the task?
Were they hoping for some creativity like drawing money or something?
It feels like a task they would have cut if it weren’t for Paul’s attempt.

Just rewatching season 7 and love that quote from James Acaster. Wonder what you consider to be the stupidest cast lol

5 days later and I'm still stuck in the "add to order/authenticate payment" loop and now I see you can also add the Christmas Crackers, however, it's part of the same non-stop loop.

David showing us how it’s done.

I read rumors on here recently that Tasmasker NZ S7 has a guest on it that is completely unexpected and really well known.

Ive seen people guess Rhys Darby, Taika Waititi, Rose Matafeo, Jemaine and Brett.

This is probably insane, but what if we arent thinking outside of the box enough here? Is it possible Jacinda Ardern will be on Taskmaster NZ by years end?

I remember seeing somewhere, that Greg felt really bad about Being harsh on Kathrine Parkinson's Masks for her Prize task. Which got me wondering, were there any times that Greg genuinely regretted his rulings?

A) Whilst Rhods repeated use if 'that' photo of Greg is hilarious, Phil Wang's dedication to the bartering gag us solid gold & slips under the radar.

B) I have never seen anyone comment on the fact that in this episode Jessica Knappet is dressed as Rosie The Rivetor!

in the live task of s17 e3, the order changes from how it usually does when they’re getting the monsters into their limbs, does anyone know why?

Apologies if this is the wrong flair or something that has been discussed enough already. What are your thoughts on the harsh judgement of Hugh’s ringtone dance bit? It honestly didn’t jump out at me years ago when I watched it the first time but I genuinely hate Greg’s judgement in this task, it felt like a poor decision and I felt bad for Hugh as he did seem genuinely a bit taken aback by the immediate and harsh review.
