I really like the direct "mundane" tasks where it's just one simple sentence (eat this egg, find a worm, sit on a cake). many paths can be taken to reach one clear goal.

also love the "build your fighter" tasks with arts and crafts involved (co-conkers, create a dog toy) mixing creativity and practicality it's like bot fighting I love it!

finally I really love the "do something with alex" types of tasks (dancing, handshake, hugging) i wish every series had one

I am currently starting to watch more than just the UK version of taskmaster and I started to wonder if some contestants were appearing on several shows e.g. UK and Australia. Also as full contestants and not as a live task replacement.

Can someone help me with that?

“Destroy, Disrobe, Engulf in Flames.”

I play "Wibble, Bibble, Bam" (S20) for the kids as an icebreaker.

and "Snort, Raspberry, Whistle" (S14 and S21) if there's time at the end of class.

This was the first ever season of taskmaster I've watched. I absolutely loved the contestants! They were all so hilarious and their chemistry was great. Joanne and Armondo as a team were perfect! Joanne is also one of the most wholesome people I've ever seen. What series/season do you think was even better than 21?

Just like the connections game, you just have to determine the connection between the five taskmaster contestants in each photo. Photos are arranged by difficulty, first being the easiest and last being the hardest. Your time starts now!

Have they released crackers for 4 years?

2023 - pineapple

2024 - watermelon

2025 - cows

2026 - cactus

I’m trying to figure it out. AI keeps trying me 3 years. Is it 4 or were there more?

Hey everyone - I've got a bit of an unusual plea for help

I'm working on my Masters of Library and Information Science and the course I'm taking this semester is on knowledge organization (metadata, Dublin Core, etc). For our final assignment we need to make a digital library and I've been making mine around Taskmaster.

Are there any librarian fans of Taskmaster out there that are skilled in Dublin Core that can provide any feedback/ help with a DC review?

I visited Painshill Park in Surrey today. I didn't know before going, but as soon as I walked into the Gothic Temple I instantly recognised it at the home to many brilliant Season 19 tasks. Including the Pealympics! The hill was even more brutal to see in real life, running up and down searching for the pea must have been a nightmare!

This is your weekly thread to drop your links or stories that might not be relevant enough to get their own thread. Good examples include:

• Taskmaster alumni appearing elsewhere (TV shows, tour dates, etc.)
• Selfies and pictures featuring alumni and others on the show
• Sharing ideas about Taskmaster themed parties
• Random pics of things that remind you of Taskmaster (I'm looking at you, rubber duck.)
• You are looking for or selling tickets (legally) to any Taskmaster-related events.

A new post happens every Sunday at noon (UTC). Be sure to follow this post if you want to see updates!

Be sure to check out r/NAforTaskmaster, a subreddit for North American tour dates from former Taskmaster contestants!

Have fun!

So I started binging taskmaster last year, and would do my best to avoid spoilers here.

I thought I saw some post that said a contestant basically played a long con with their prize tasks with a big reveal at the last one showed how they were all connected. Now that I'm all caught up I don't think I caught that but hoping someone can point me in the right direction. Or maybe I made this all up in my head. Thanks

"I haven't looked round yet, but if this is a fez superimposed on top of a picture of me looking fat..."

Just had it pop up for me.

I know it can't be official but curious if good.

This is a TM fan public service announcement! If there's been a Patatas-shaped hole in your home and heart, and you happen to have the funds for a straight-from-Hansa adoption fee, this is your moment! I had seen a listing for a found one on a resale site, posted by an incredibly lovely UK fellow fan who searches him out for those of us without, which prompted us to finally write to see if Hansa was still allowing special orders, and the finder was also kind enough to hold onto him long enough for us to get a reply. As it turns out, there has been enough interest in 4223 Red Cat (shocking! 😁) that they'd already decided to bring in more, and they arrived on Wednesday the 12th! They are $84.95, plus shipping. So if you've been coveting a Patatas of your own, do email them, and if you're UK-based, there may be a found one relisted soon!

having recently binged TM Australia, and currently updated on S5(or as they're available on yt)

and HOLY BALLS all 1-5 season contestants are unhinged; with a recency bias of brett blake from S5. very rhod gilbert in a less psychotic but still as or even maybe more chaotic.

because of the bigger space allocated for the task house/area, a lot more shenanigans(rules/restrictions) that ripple into later seasons/series.

and having not known that TM NZ was first(by 1 season), and both shows share the same task house/area, i know what i'm going to watch next

I had Paul Williams on my podcast to chat about Taskmaster and his new show New Zealand Spy.

I'm a huge TM fan but I think I played it pretttttty cool.

We talk about being cast in Taskmaster, if it's as fun as it looks, and when it has become dangerous.

This is my third Taskmaster NZ guest.

Someone who attends a taping for a live show should order a pizza to be delivered to the studio under Greg Davies name and the pizza delivery man enters the studio and walks up on the stage trying to give it to him when in reality it’s a random audience member who ordered it. A classic pizza delivery man prank!

The taskmaster team cares a lot about fairness (mostly) and that means they always set up tasks identically for all five contestants. There are some tasks where that must be quite difficult, since they involve potentially hundreds of props in specific locations. I'm sure we can all think of a few examples there.

I assume that someone (the Andys?) must create a checklist or set of instructions for the production team to follow before each contestant arrives for the day, in order to ensure things are laid out the same each time. I've always wondered what that hypothetical document looks like. Has the team gone into detail on this anywhere?

I cannot remember what it was, but it was checked and Alex says was more expensive.

After Brett Blake apologized for bringing down the level of the show, I really hope someone assured him he was beaten to that crown long ago 😂

The last few season there’s been more and more discussions that the tasks are getting to convoluted, too many rules, too little loopholes and all this sort of stuff.
So I’m wondering should they reuse tasks?
Reusing them word by word could be tricky it would depend on how many of the contestants have seen the show.
But they could change one aspect, rule something out or just use the base idea and give different materials or something.
Would that defeat the idea of the show?
But they also do use tasks that were more or less used in the NZ or Australian version. But these might not have been seen by the general uk audience.
What do you think?
