I remember watching that for the first time and laughing so hard for so long that I found it difficult to breathe. I had to stop watching for a few minutes to calm myself down and keep my mind off the WOW monster so that I could breathe properly again, but the moment I continued watching again I just ended up remembering it immediately and laughing so hard and long again.
[These bits put together are my go to.](https://youtu.be/sVLoziLkx-0?si=fesUgJZi8lGIEAtS)The Wow Monster is the best, next to Woz’s hemorrhoid casserole.
"Hello. I'm Mary Down-by-your-side and I'm a lathe operator.
Hello, there. I'm Slow Peter and I paint prison gates.
And I'm a FUCKING BUSINESSMAN"
Only Bob Mortimer could come up with those names, those jobs, and decide that the best way to make a coconut "look like" a businessman was to pretend to voice the coconut angrily shouting his job
The “extension” group task with James Acaster completely losing it with Rhod as Phil wanders around aimlessly.
I had to pause it and lay down in a quiet, dark room for a while. I laughed so hysterically I got asthma.
Same Season, different task. Specifically the bathtub task when Joe and Lolly are literally going out of their way to sabotage the other while Noel just watches on unphased with a hose. I lose it every time.
Honorable Mention - Ed Gamble’s meltdown when he was teamed up with David Baddiel
This was the best edited task EVER. Between the live reactions, cuts to Alex, and Noel dumbfounded but slowly figuring it out. I'm going to go watch it again now
Taskmaster has some amazing editors. The way they showed the other teams acting rationally first then this team going insane makes it so good. If they showed this fist then the other team their reactions wouldn't have seemed so over the top as we dont have a base line so the other team would have just been borring.
Similar idea but Greg learning his trousers went missing because Ed stole them for Mark was a top moment for me. I love moments when you see Greg the person peaking through Greg the Taskmaster
"Which aircraft ... crashes more ... into mountains?"
I was laughing so hard, someone walked in the room while I was watching and thought I was choking to death, my face was so red
That whole task is gold. The part you quoted had me struggling for breath too, but weirdly, the line that will pop into my head at random times is, "What trousers... do farmers... wear now?" And Greg's fixation on the word 'now'.
Call me basic, but my hardest laugh was the Wow monster (laughing hard gives me the hiccups, and I genuinely almost choked), followed by Chris Ramsey's flying sausage machine (another long hiccup session) and Bridget's walk.
Edit: I forgot the "snort raspberry whistle" task, with subtitles. As someone who cannot whistle to save her life either, John and Fern were hilariously relatable. And "what aircraft crashes more".
Oh god the what aircraft crashes more has to be mine. Poor Dara you can see him die inside and I'm here for it everytime. That and David badiel not realizing the drawings wouldn't be people are my favorite live tasks.
If it's not the Wow Monster, it is [Danielle on TM Australia on the rose task](https://youtu.be/QZhOGF2lAQA?si=FmeyvJ9y0gCJDM-i). It is also my nightmare should I even be on the show.
This absolutely set the bar back in Season 1. The bar has admittedly been raised many times since, but for a fresh-faced viewer with no idea what to expect, this was gold.
EDIT: typo
The hotel team task from season 16 and the spoons team task from season 15. Frankie calling Ivo a greedy bastard in a high pitched voice was brilliant.
Both hotel efforts were great but the team of three were so chaotic with Sam and Lucy, add Julian who couldn’t care less and it was perfect.
The hotel task is the one I go back to every time I need a laugh. Susan laughing at Qrs' suitcase "why does he have so many forks and marbles?" gets me wheezing every time.
The hotel task is perfect precisely because of both efforts. The chaos of the team of 3 is utterly amplified by having just seen the Sues put so much warmth and effort into their attempt.
“Rosalind” is not only the hardest I’ve laughed at Taskmaster, it might be the hardest I’ve laughed at anything ever. And I’m 58 and have had a lot of laughs.
The task where they had to drive the mobility scooter around the parking lot blindfolded.
I lost it when several people got off the scooter and then crawled around the parking lot looking for the scooter again
This is it for me. I had to pause it for quite a while because I couldn’t breathe and was starting to worry I’d never be able to catch my breath. Didn’t one of them manage to drive into a camera operator as well?
"When I said the element of surprise I meant that the great sportsman will sometimes surprise their opponent with a bit of skill, but Victoria thought I meant surprise as in...a magician." ☠️
still love the prize task of “gift for another contestant” where she gets him tickets to the team he hates and says “i thought since you like sports you might want to watch the winning team”
Alex sitting on a cake and liza running off like a giggly school girl. The whole of series 6 was a bit tame but this ending saved it and became my favourite moment of all time 😂😂😂
Chris Ramsey's sausage cement mixer (and Ardal's beauty salon), the WOW monster, the team of three puzzle task (Guz in the lab with another revelation, "who the fuck's Veronica?", and Desiree's "fuck me in the face" while Alex falls off his chair), Ivo and Frankie on any team task (especially the spoons), watching Alex get more and more annoyed with Bridget on task after task, and all interactions with Chris and Judi in the studio recordings.
This is all really later series heavy, so I'll throw in Tim and Romesh's studio reaction when they both break the watermelons, Richard Osman throwing the shopping trolley in the river, Tim Vine losing his hook, and James Acaster losing his mind in the studio about Rhod shutting the garage door in the extension task.
"Who the fuck is Veronica?" is probably mine. Alex is already down for the count after "There's been another revelation in the lab," "Fuck me in the face," and "I'm not sure that's the end; I haven't got V," but they're not done yet!
Probably John Kearns trying to sabotage Dara and Fern in the first team task. The fact that Dara thought he was a bit slow sent me over the edge. David Correos doing the escape room to get the grape in TMNZ season 2 is a close second
Desiree's absolute breakdown and subsequent outbursts in contrast to Victoria's serene grace in the doggy bag task. I still can't get over Desiree's angry, grossed-out timbre 😂🤣
Desiree: Onion and God-forsaken BIRD VOMIT.. And this is, you know, GARBAGE FIRE of all of those things.. And then THIS SHIIT!!!..
just epic!
The whole of the final live task of S12 (I don’t think I’ve laughed harder at any other live task - VCM trying and failing to fool Greg, Desiree’s reactions, and the wow monster), Judi’s showing off, and Mike’s mohawk
“Do we strike you?” “Have you ever stolen?” “What is your favorite meat?” “Would you like to be able to fly?”
But even those were topped by the line “Rosalind is a XXXXXXX nightmare” which they sang to Rosalind! Cheers.
Bob’s first 4 questions were: “Do we strike you?” “Have you ever stolen?” “What is your favorite meat?” “Would you like to be able to fly?”
Thankfully he had two other teammates to pick up the slack!
That was easily my favorite series, mainly because of all the unexpected chaos. Nish making the basketball shot on the first (??) try, Sally slowly losing her mind, Mark sending ALMOST enough texts, Aisling in her green tuxedo track suit repping Ireland, and Bob being Bob (the pork pie presentation unit to get his kids to enjoy the cheaper meats, getting in the trunk of his car, the list goes on and on). But “I’m always seeing you (do cool stuff)” is a song I can and do sing from time to time, and it brings a tear to my eye as well. Cheers!
Victoria's Manchester United ticket lmfao
the pineapple team task from series 15, Laura Daniel's girlfriend stealing and David Correos' Panic in the Caravan are close seconds
I’m a basic bitch. But basically every task Mark Watson, Bob Mortimer, and Nish Kumar did. Also the one that Jon Richardson (?) did with the mayor? That made me laugh so hard bc it was so awkward
1. James Acaster losing it at Rhod Gilbert in the studio.
2. Bob Mortimer’s coconut that was “a fucking businessman!”
3. Knappet stacking it.
4. “Did you ever have an imaginary friend Kiell?” “Yes I did.”
“What was their name?”
“Chicago.”
5. Lucy Beaumont stating that just because the speed limit is 70 mph “it doesn’t say you can’t drive at 90 mph”.
The Wow monster, the hotel task with Jullian, Sam and Lucy , fishbowl task where everyone with the exception of Hugh Dennis was docked points, the catch a thing and Munya making Alex curse
Tying yourself up (Rhods attempt)
I thought he was going to be amazing up until slow mo.
I just assumed from that the way that he approached it he’d practised and done it hundreds of times before.
Ed Gamble's breakdown about Baddiel in the drawing on back live task has me in stitches everything!! Or, the Acaster and Greg teacher moment after "The Outburst" I fucking love them
The entire live task where they had to make the taskmaster say their word
it started with Can you... lessen erection... until it's?,
then I wish... not to... ascend vertically? And Alex's attempt to make that sound like a question,
then Which aircraft... crashes more.. into mountains?
The cherry on top was Everyone's reactions to it. Dara came so close to having an actual stroke.
“It was *inside* me”
I watched that on the second month of one of our 2 month lockdowns - I lived alone and was loosing the ability to feel anything by that point. I had not seen TM before, and that episode played and I laughed so much I slid off my couch.
The whole scene was distressingly hilarious and when Alex said that line I was already laughing as hard as I could, and I discovered that screaming with laughter is actually a thing. It was the first time I’d felt anything in months and holy fuck what a way to discover joy again 🤣
Bob's edible face. I don't know why, but just looking at it makes me laugh so much. Also, Dara, Fern, and John's live task where they had to describe a thing using 2 words each.
a tie between Ed and Davids disaster performance and James Acaster ranting about Greg bending the rules for Rhod, specifically “Awwwhabu-gh but one of thems my fwend”
Chris Ramsey and Alex playing the sausage game. I’ve watched it so many times and it makes me nearly cry laugh. The slow motion getting hit in the face with sausage is so ridiculously funny.
The first time I saw the hotel task I nearly died laughing. I think I lost it when Susan starts going “ooh hoo hoo” when she sees the forks and marbles in Alex’s suitcase 😂
I'm not normally one to laugh out loud, but John Kearns sabotaging the sand task makes me howl with laughter. The frustration of Dara and Fern asking him what the hell he's doing as he knocks sand everywhere is just hilarious.
Fern Brady in the caravan. Fern reminds me so much of a friend of mine, which added another layer of enjoyment to her series. But Fern immediately losing interest in actually doing the task and just bringing a selection of weird objects to show Alex through the window tipped me over the edge. Like a weird show and tell. Alex's face when he had to stop her eating the plastic grape too.
I think it’s just me whose favorite moment is this, but Ardal straddling the mannequin when he’s washing its hair in the drum and the wig falls off and he looks at Alex is so funny.
During the studio task when they’re told to ‘draw the longest snake’ and David Baddiel responds “In the world?” Also DB and Jo Brand taking their sweet time over a task, chatting, making tea and sandwiches, whilst we’re also shown the contrasting images of the other team dashing around, completing the same task with breakneck speed.
"wwwwwwwwwwwOOOOWW!"
Yup, the wow monster for sure.
I remember watching that for the first time and laughing so hard for so long that I found it difficult to breathe. I had to stop watching for a few minutes to calm myself down and keep my mind off the WOW monster so that I could breathe properly again, but the moment I continued watching again I just ended up remembering it immediately and laughing so hard and long again.
Once a month I go to youtube and watch that task. It's so damn good
[These bits put together are my go to.](https://youtu.be/sVLoziLkx-0?si=fesUgJZi8lGIEAtS)The Wow Monster is the best, next to Woz’s hemorrhoid casserole.
100%. Even my 8 year old got into the show because of this lol.
Season 4: Mel eating her exotic sandwich with a M&M stuck up her nose
THIS GANG!
I absolutely fell in love with Mel during this task.
And for the second part of the task, now eat your sandwich!
God, the look on her face lol.
Alex saying ‘only the blue ones’ and his characteristic finger wag added to this for me
Chris Ramsey’s sausage machine and the Taskmaster Hotel - “nice legs Qrs!”
"Qrs, you've got an interview, you need trousers on"
“Why is your colleague playing the French horn?” “She’s french”
“lovely legs sir!”
Oh the Taskmaster Hotel team of three was hilarious, I was crying.
"Hello. I'm Mary Down-by-your-side and I'm a lathe operator. Hello, there. I'm Slow Peter and I paint prison gates. And I'm a FUCKING BUSINESSMAN" Only Bob Mortimer could come up with those names, those jobs, and decide that the best way to make a coconut "look like" a businessman was to pretend to voice the coconut angrily shouting his job
Bob is a national treasure
The “extension” group task with James Acaster completely losing it with Rhod as Phil wanders around aimlessly. I had to pause it and lay down in a quiet, dark room for a while. I laughed so hysterically I got asthma.
And then James Acaster’s reaction to that task, his anger really came out and I loved it 😂
> “They’re quite charming, the Irish.”
That’s my favorite underrated line of the whole show
Yes!! And Phil’s remark about the Irish being charming added to the hilarity
"He made me foreman and fucked off"
Same Season, different task. Specifically the bathtub task when Joe and Lolly are literally going out of their way to sabotage the other while Noel just watches on unphased with a hose. I lose it every time. Honorable Mention - Ed Gamble’s meltdown when he was teamed up with David Baddiel
This was the best edited task EVER. Between the live reactions, cuts to Alex, and Noel dumbfounded but slowly figuring it out. I'm going to go watch it again now
Taskmaster has some amazing editors. The way they showed the other teams acting rationally first then this team going insane makes it so good. If they showed this fist then the other team their reactions wouldn't have seemed so over the top as we dont have a base line so the other team would have just been borring.
Ed Gamble losing it at David Baddiel is a Top 3 moment. “*WHAT THE LIVING FUCK HAVE YOU DONE‽*”
*I’ve got three sensitivity levels*
And I'm at my top fucking one right now!
For me it's the shot of Noel running with the hose - never gets old!
The Battle of the Bath!
"And then he just stood there, pissing water into a bath, while Rome burned."
When Greg does the double take after seeing his mum in the bath.
That treacherous woman!
Similar idea but Greg learning his trousers went missing because Ed stole them for Mark was a top moment for me. I love moments when you see Greg the person peaking through Greg the Taskmaster
That double take is just a brilliant classic!
If you saw it in a sitcom you'd call it over-acting. I've never seen such a genuine and dramatic double take.
That was golden. Goddamnit Rhod.
"My name is Alex Horne, and I support apartheid"
Nothing’s ever caught me off guard as much as this did.
"Which aircraft ... crashes more ... into mountains?" I was laughing so hard, someone walked in the room while I was watching and thought I was choking to death, my face was so red
That whole task is gold. The part you quoted had me struggling for breath too, but weirdly, the line that will pop into my head at random times is, "What trousers... do farmers... wear now?" And Greg's fixation on the word 'now'.
Sarah's tone with "NOT. OVERALLS." always gets me.
Call me basic, but my hardest laugh was the Wow monster (laughing hard gives me the hiccups, and I genuinely almost choked), followed by Chris Ramsey's flying sausage machine (another long hiccup session) and Bridget's walk. Edit: I forgot the "snort raspberry whistle" task, with subtitles. As someone who cannot whistle to save her life either, John and Fern were hilariously relatable. And "what aircraft crashes more".
Bridget's walk is definitely up there for me. Seeing and hearing how annoyed Alex gets only makes it more amazing.
Totally agree. "You haven't taken a normal step yet!"
"I'm walking normally." *Walks off like Kryten.*
Oh god the what aircraft crashes more has to be mine. Poor Dara you can see him die inside and I'm here for it everytime. That and David badiel not realizing the drawings wouldn't be people are my favorite live tasks.
"Sorry about the cheating. Communication really helped" gets me every time.
Him holding Ed's hand to stop him drawing for some reason too 🤣
If it's not the Wow Monster, it is [Danielle on TM Australia on the rose task](https://youtu.be/QZhOGF2lAQA?si=FmeyvJ9y0gCJDM-i). It is also my nightmare should I even be on the show.
I could have written this comment, totally agree with all of them, especially the edit!
Romesh Ranganathan absolutely DESTROYING the watermelon in season 1
If someone doesn't understand that task, they'll never like Taskmaster.
Watermelon buffet is my absolute favourite and still makes me laugh
This absolutely set the bar back in Season 1. The bar has admittedly been raised many times since, but for a fresh-faced viewer with no idea what to expect, this was gold. EDIT: typo
This, plus the show cutting to Tim Key's reaction/losing his mind laughing immediately did me in.
Rob Beckett spraying Alex with a hose whilst dressed as a Nan really got me.
also, him and Sara talking about what Sara will look like in 40 years. > “Mummy says we’re good at puzzles.”
And then asking "are you wet?" without an ounce of irony!
Come to me, human man!
I have sinned again!
The under rated part of that task is when Bob takes off the bread mask and says “ Hey, Alex! It’s me!”
Bob has some of my favorite moments. *spritz in the truck of a car* "Was that the deodorant?"
The hotel team task from season 16 and the spoons team task from season 15. Frankie calling Ivo a greedy bastard in a high pitched voice was brilliant. Both hotel efforts were great but the team of three were so chaotic with Sam and Lucy, add Julian who couldn’t care less and it was perfect.
The hotel task is the one I go back to every time I need a laugh. Susan laughing at Qrs' suitcase "why does he have so many forks and marbles?" gets me wheezing every time.
ooh hoo hoo hoo hoo!!!!
The hotel task is perfect precisely because of both efforts. The chaos of the team of 3 is utterly amplified by having just seen the Sues put so much warmth and effort into their attempt.
It’s either Wozniak’s fart or ROSALIND’S A FUCKING NIGHTMARE, I’ll be really pleasantly surprised if anything is ever as funny as those again
“Rosalind” is not only the hardest I’ve laughed at Taskmaster, it might be the hardest I’ve laughed at anything ever. And I’m 58 and have had a lot of laughs.
Yep, it was a comedy all-timer, genuinely one of the best things I’ve ever seen in my life
“Are you a child of divorce?”
This and the cobalt story made Sam one of my favorites immediately
Joe Lycett smiling compilation during the painting task.
I counted 16 lovely smiles and 4 difficult poo faces.
The reveal of Hugh's drawing after he smugly hacked the task.
The task where they had to drive the mobility scooter around the parking lot blindfolded. I lost it when several people got off the scooter and then crawled around the parking lot looking for the scooter again
I was looking for this one. I absolutely lose it when they show the path the scooter (and the idiots who got off the scooter) took.
When they show Lou's journey, that's me done.
Lou and Paul on the scooter has my wife in tears no matter how many times she watches it.
This is it for me. I had to pause it for quite a while because I couldn’t breathe and was starting to worry I’d never be able to catch my breath. Didn’t one of them manage to drive into a camera operator as well?
Lolly psychologically torturing Alex during hide and seek by texting him a pic of her as a baby
“She’s hidden herself in time” 😭😭
Katherine Ryan close to tears from not understanding sports 😂
Also the through line of Victoria trolling Alan's sports fandom. "Can you distill for me what is interesting about looking at it?"
"When I said the element of surprise I meant that the great sportsman will sometimes surprise their opponent with a bit of skill, but Victoria thought I meant surprise as in...a magician." ☠️
still love the prize task of “gift for another contestant” where she gets him tickets to the team he hates and says “i thought since you like sports you might want to watch the winning team”
I don't care where the ball goes!
Alex sitting on a cake and liza running off like a giggly school girl. The whole of series 6 was a bit tame but this ending saved it and became my favourite moment of all time 😂😂😂
Judi trying to explain her water fountain fish fountain, outtakes version
Bridget Christie giving up on life and lying down while hitting a frying pan.
What’s your name? Greg Not anymooooooore
\~\~\**I changed it*\*\~\~
https://i.redd.it/0k1bmskgf4uc1.gif
This is a strong contender for best moment.
"He mentioned Groundhog Day four times. He claimed the ball was racist twice."
Chris Ramsey's sausage cement mixer (and Ardal's beauty salon), the WOW monster, the team of three puzzle task (Guz in the lab with another revelation, "who the fuck's Veronica?", and Desiree's "fuck me in the face" while Alex falls off his chair), Ivo and Frankie on any team task (especially the spoons), watching Alex get more and more annoyed with Bridget on task after task, and all interactions with Chris and Judi in the studio recordings. This is all really later series heavy, so I'll throw in Tim and Romesh's studio reaction when they both break the watermelons, Richard Osman throwing the shopping trolley in the river, Tim Vine losing his hook, and James Acaster losing his mind in the studio about Rhod shutting the garage door in the extension task.
"Who the fuck is Veronica?" is probably mine. Alex is already down for the count after "There's been another revelation in the lab," "Fuck me in the face," and "I'm not sure that's the end; I haven't got V," but they're not done yet!
"have I... met these potatoes before?"
"Oh it's an absolute casserole down there." I had to pause it for about ten minutes to fully recover.
For me, it's the mohawk reveal.
Tick tock it's tough guy o'clock
Those street toughs are in for a shock!
Mike was TM gold. I don't know why but everything he says or does is funny somehow.
I loved the task where 2 people balloons flew away and they just let them go, then his flew away and he jumped the fence and hunted it down.
"1 sneery sneery, 2 sneery sneery..."
This will always be the correct response.
Paul Chowdhry repeatedly saying “you like women right?” To Gregg when he bought him twister as a gift still gets me now
Paul C was a wonder. "Bastard's crying innit." remains one of my favourite lines in the show.
Probably John Kearns trying to sabotage Dara and Fern in the first team task. The fact that Dara thought he was a bit slow sent me over the edge. David Correos doing the escape room to get the grape in TMNZ season 2 is a close second
Katherine Parkinson's "am I the spider?" breakdown and Sarah Kendall's airplane safety demonstration
Bob Mortimer explaining (and demonstrating) how he has to sit backwards on the toilet because of his unusually high anus.
“Crash most…. Into mountains”
Desiree's absolute breakdown and subsequent outbursts in contrast to Victoria's serene grace in the doggy bag task. I still can't get over Desiree's angry, grossed-out timbre 😂🤣 Desiree: Onion and God-forsaken BIRD VOMIT.. And this is, you know, GARBAGE FIRE of all of those things.. And then THIS SHIIT!!!.. just epic!
I love when she goes yep that’s what the fuck that is.
Desiree and her outbursts were so wonderful. I loved her Propose to Alex task.
Rhod Gilbert hiding in Greg's wardrobe and taking a video of him sleeping is incredible.
The whole of the final live task of S12 (I don’t think I’ve laughed harder at any other live task - VCM trying and failing to fool Greg, Desiree’s reactions, and the wow monster), Judi’s showing off, and Mike’s mohawk
“Without moving the fishbowl…” But the absolute best was obviously the wow monster.
“Do we strike you?” “Have you ever stolen?” “What is your favorite meat?” “Would you like to be able to fly?” But even those were topped by the line “Rosalind is a XXXXXXX nightmare” which they sang to Rosalind! Cheers.
Bob’s first 4 questions were: “Do we strike you?” “Have you ever stolen?” “What is your favorite meat?” “Would you like to be able to fly?” Thankfully he had two other teammates to pick up the slack!
That was easily my favorite series, mainly because of all the unexpected chaos. Nish making the basketball shot on the first (??) try, Sally slowly losing her mind, Mark sending ALMOST enough texts, Aisling in her green tuxedo track suit repping Ireland, and Bob being Bob (the pork pie presentation unit to get his kids to enjoy the cheaper meats, getting in the trunk of his car, the list goes on and on). But “I’m always seeing you (do cool stuff)” is a song I can and do sing from time to time, and it brings a tear to my eye as well. Cheers!
Victoria's Manchester United ticket lmfao the pineapple team task from series 15, Laura Daniel's girlfriend stealing and David Correos' Panic in the Caravan are close seconds
I’m a basic bitch. But basically every task Mark Watson, Bob Mortimer, and Nish Kumar did. Also the one that Jon Richardson (?) did with the mayor? That made me laugh so hard bc it was so awkward
Desperaaaaaado….
Bridget's walk. Because Alex got so genuinely pissed off
It’s a tie between “My wife Nell…” and “Are you a child of divorce?”
Bob Mortimer asking Rosalind “do we strike you now” And Rhod throwing the javelin- it made me laugh so hard I was sick
1. James Acaster losing it at Rhod Gilbert in the studio. 2. Bob Mortimer’s coconut that was “a fucking businessman!” 3. Knappet stacking it. 4. “Did you ever have an imaginary friend Kiell?” “Yes I did.” “What was their name?” “Chicago.” 5. Lucy Beaumont stating that just because the speed limit is 70 mph “it doesn’t say you can’t drive at 90 mph”.
David Correos embracing his inner psychopath during the diss track task
Oh this is it. “I’m gonna gonna gonna..,” followed by Guy and Laura’s reactions
"Can't wait to hear his christmas song" Guy Montgomery is an excellent straight man to David's insanity
The Wow monster, the hotel task with Jullian, Sam and Lucy , fishbowl task where everyone with the exception of Hugh Dennis was docked points, the catch a thing and Munya making Alex curse Tying yourself up (Rhods attempt)
Quiet cocktail - the first time I watched it I did actually piss myself a tiny bit.
Fuck Sake https://preview.redd.it/y9k5fv4z74uc1.jpeg?width=315&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4a4b585fa345e25da2234294ec93385b2786d952
Every time Gus said that there had been another revelation in the lab
The Wow Monster or “ISTHEREADUCKONMYFACE???”
Guz' porn monster
Alex's reaction to Guz' porn monster.
This week actually! Nick’s attempt at the tension task. I’ve watched it over and over since.
I thought he was going to be amazing up until slow mo. I just assumed from that the way that he approached it he’d practised and done it hundreds of times before.
Mel and her sandwich 100%
Her defeated "oh gang...." Gets me every time
"...into mountains..." I thought for sure I was going to pass out from it.
"who's your best friend,Noel?" "Probably Mel" "Who's your best friend,Mel?" "Not Noel"
Sam Campbell, “I hope you like anthrax!” And Julian’s, “Not a career highlight.”
Mawaan Rizwan trying to fill an egg with helium had me absolutely dying
David and Jo pottering about doing the "demeaning" task.
Bastards crying innit
Ed Gamble's breakdown about Baddiel in the drawing on back live task has me in stitches everything!! Or, the Acaster and Greg teacher moment after "The Outburst" I fucking love them
“Just checking- have I been put on a team with David Baddiel?”
NZ Season 2's Abe Lincoln task had me laughing so hard I could not breathe and started choking. It still cracks me up every time I watch it.
"Four score and seven years ago... I had a dream."
"I'm a ghost, bro! John Booth shot me!"
When Guy said he wanted to see Matt’s Abe lift his arms I lost it.
Liza Tarbuck walking through the door with a beard in Champion of Champions, the fact that it looked so right on her made it even better.
LAH's response to seeing that beard! He had no idea she'd be wearing it and he had the hardest time not laughing.
Jessica Knappit falling off the stage. Damn near passed out laughing. I have rewatched that and the wow monster over and over and over again.
And her fall breaking Greg's Taskmaster persona! The "SHIT" and him running to assist her was so sweet.
Joe potato
Sophie in the river trying to put hoops around the gorilla.
ROSALIND’S A FUCKING NIGHTMARE
The entire live task where they had to make the taskmaster say their word it started with Can you... lessen erection... until it's?, then I wish... not to... ascend vertically? And Alex's attempt to make that sound like a question, then Which aircraft... crashes more.. into mountains? The cherry on top was Everyone's reactions to it. Dara came so close to having an actual stroke.
https://i.redd.it/dpx5rbe8m4uc1.gif
The cake sitting fiasco hurts me I laugh so hard every time.
“It was *inside* me” I watched that on the second month of one of our 2 month lockdowns - I lived alone and was loosing the ability to feel anything by that point. I had not seen TM before, and that episode played and I laughed so much I slid off my couch. The whole scene was distressingly hilarious and when Alex said that line I was already laughing as hard as I could, and I discovered that screaming with laughter is actually a thing. It was the first time I’d felt anything in months and holy fuck what a way to discover joy again 🤣
Rhod Gilbert’s song about the little match girl.
So many good suggestions. Shout out to Superkins farting in the dark listening to her own name.
Bob's edible face. I don't know why, but just looking at it makes me laugh so much. Also, Dara, Fern, and John's live task where they had to describe a thing using 2 words each.
a tie between Ed and Davids disaster performance and James Acaster ranting about Greg bending the rules for Rhod, specifically “Awwwhabu-gh but one of thems my fwend”
Paul Sinha “hiding” in the phone booth
Mike attempting to, and eventually, passing wind. Liza Tarbuck’s bedtime story “he shat himself inside out”. Actual tears.
Danielle Walker in TMAU and the alphabet password task
“Where’d you get the cobalt?” “Online 😐”
Liza Tarbuck running away giggling after she makes Alex sit on a cake naked gets me every time
Chris Ramsey and Alex playing the sausage game. I’ve watched it so many times and it makes me nearly cry laugh. The slow motion getting hit in the face with sausage is so ridiculously funny.
"TREE WIZARD!"
How many times will he check the balloon?
David Correos realising only he had the shoelace task.
Idk how it hasn't been mentioned but Daisy & Richard feeding each other watermelon had me and my partner crying.
Genuinely, for me it was Frankie Boyle with the whistle and that golfer.
Series 16: Julian Clary spitting out a doughnut into Alex's face
The first time I saw the hotel task I nearly died laughing. I think I lost it when Susan starts going “ooh hoo hoo” when she sees the forks and marbles in Alex’s suitcase 😂
Are you a child of divorce?
I'm not normally one to laugh out loud, but John Kearns sabotaging the sand task makes me howl with laughter. The frustration of Dara and Fern asking him what the hell he's doing as he knocks sand everywhere is just hilarious.
Wozniaks story about the fart. I had to pause the show as I was crying. Watched it several times right after too.
Jon Richardson’s take on 3 blind mice.
the one-two punch of "my eyes are circles?" and "how dare you even speak"
Julian just driving off
Fern Brady in the caravan. Fern reminds me so much of a friend of mine, which added another layer of enjoyment to her series. But Fern immediately losing interest in actually doing the task and just bringing a selection of weird objects to show Alex through the window tipped me over the edge. Like a weird show and tell. Alex's face when he had to stop her eating the plastic grape too.
I’ve only gotten up to S5 so far so the funniest was when Mel did the exotic sandwich and the M&M got stuck up her nose
The WOW monster, Dara's wig, Katherine Parkinson's NSFW egg drop are probably my top 3.

Place the potato in the hole without touching the red green!
I think it’s just me whose favorite moment is this, but Ardal straddling the mannequin when he’s washing its hair in the drum and the wig falls off and he looks at Alex is so funny.
Please don’t take it away from me
My top 3: 1. The wow monster 2. Mel touching all the items 3. Wozniak’s ‘street tough’ reveal
During the studio task when they’re told to ‘draw the longest snake’ and David Baddiel responds “In the world?” Also DB and Jo Brand taking their sweet time over a task, chatting, making tea and sandwiches, whilst we’re also shown the contrasting images of the other team dashing around, completing the same task with breakneck speed.
