Frank Skinner's Best Taskmaster Moments

From the first ever series of Taskmaster, here are some of Frank Skinner's best bits from the show.

In this Broadcast Award-winning, BAFTA and Emmy Award-nominated entertainment show, Taskmaster tyrant Greg Davies (Man Down, Cuckoo), with the help of his loyal assistant Alex Horne (The Horne Section and the show’s creator), sets out to test the wiles, wit and wisdom of five hyper-competitive comedians.

Comedians that have risked life, limb, and dignity in the hope of making the Taskmaster proud so far include: Frank Skinner (The Frank Skinner Show), Mel Giedroyc (The Great British Bake Off), Romesh Ranganathan (Asian Provocateur), Hugh Dennis (Outnumbered), Sally Phillips (Bridget Jones’ Diary), Rose Matafeo (Edinburgh Comedy Award Winner 2018), and Russell Howard (The Russell Howard Hour). Unaware of what awaits them in each wax-sealed envelope, only one competitor can become the victorious owner of His Royal Task-ness’ golden head and be crowned the next Taskmaster Champion.

There would be no Taskmaster without Frank. Alex has said that they had trouble getting a cast for the first season, but Frank is so respected in British comedy that he gave the show the clout it needed when he signed on.

Genuinely felt sorry for Frank when he discovered the egg was broken

[victoriamk]

Frank singing a beautiful song while he’s scooping men’s tears is amazing. An underrated moment (and contestant) in Taskmaster!!

When Frank chased after a one-year old to high-five, I couldn’t stop laughing at that challenge XD

[nommyyt]

Frank was so lovely! One of the contestants I wish would be on the show again somehow. I think my favorite moment from him was him discovering how to score points by touching his head. He looked like he'd seen God.

Frank looking at his broken egg and Josh having the biggest panic attack when he threw the egg to miss his paper pillow was just comedy gold! the freeze frame!

Anyone else dream of an “every time Alex breaks/ gets abused” compilation of sorts?

[adriannahowell]

Aww I miss Fred. We should have a Fred compilation lol

[baconbacon]

Finally this great man gets his own compiliation. I loved him so much

[daeyura]

Yes finally!!! but his best moments are literally everything tho, from the excellent alphabet meal, the excellent horse painting, and the hilarious blooper video, his solutions are ones I usually enjoyed the most!

[AlecDouglas]

Frank lamenting his reverse film will always be one of my favorite TM moments

[snappycatchy]

Fred the Swede experiencing the timeless art of seduction.

[cyberperson]

"With every video you play, mine looks WORSE."

[jerseymonolith]

That bulbous vein joke of frank’s was once part of his stage show. The punchline being - that’s the first time the a40 has ever met the m25

[LevelUpLeo]

I like how with Frank's best moments, the first half of the video is occasions where he completely messed up and did the worst possible.

[DoctorandtheDoll]

HOW could you not include, "In fact, I think I'll take first [prize]. What was it, 12 grand? I've probably got that on me!" I died 😂.

[maiNmusica]

Brilliant! The tears bit had me, well, in tears. 🤣

[michaellee]

Can we please get Alex Hornes best moments?

[davidyoung]

And where was Frank's task to get the boulder as far away as possible? That, for me, was his best bit!

[zvcl]

Frank and the Swede! One of the most unnecessarily homoerotic things on TM ever! 😂😂😂😂😂
