David Baddiel's Best Taskmaster Moments

'Have you got any lighter fuel?' - it's David Baddiel's best Taskmaster moments from series 9.

------------

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.

“I feel pretty broken, but I don’t think I could fix myself..” is the realist shit ever said on this show.

David Bodiel trying to smell colours for a couple minutes straight

Honestly, how is the back-drawing task not on this compilation? That was honestly the funniest shit of the entire series, and it was mostly because of David, and partly because of Ed's reactions to him xD

You have to admire Alex's determination when he said "i'm ready" fully realizing that there are so many things, including some heavy and sharp stuff, in the premises that can be thrown at him next.

[Dylzhaar]

Personally I think the title should've been "I'm just a man doing things"

[PokerJoker]

David would be an immediate candidate for a Taskmaster "Lovable Losers" edition. Him, Nish Kumar, Paul Chowdhry, Alice Levine, and either Hugh Dennis or Phil Wang (whose overall performances were extremely similar to each other).

Baddiel: When I was young, my mum used to call my Penis a Dodo.

Horne: Because it was extinct?

It's moments like this you realise just how sharp Alex actually is. 😂

[SensationalBanana]

Jo Brand and David Baddiel need to do a travel show together. One utterly incompetent, one utterly out of fucks to give. It'd be magical!

[stevenlowdon]

My favourite moment is when he has his first attempt at the barman studio task, and matter of factory says "I was the ONLY contestant not to get a round of applause."

David trying to help the rubber egg is such a emotional rollercoaster

[Jennyfisch]

How is this show getting me so invested in whether a rubber egg makes it over a line or not?

[Matt-ywtj]

The one highlights video that I've waited for more than any other.

[sadrevolution]

It's actually so inspired to have that one contestant that is just shit at doing anything.

[samuelcardwell]

Slightly besides the theme of the video, but one of my favourite TM moments of all time is Alex saying "it's a crazy choice" just after Ed's egg toss. Perfect timing!

[Aviertje]

If these are David's best moments, then I really fear what his worst moments look like... I am not sure my confidence in humanity can take that blow.

[lazthegreat]

I don't think this man has been in the real world once before this show

[benjaminmiddaugh]

Apparently the Broadcast Award trophies are quite durable.

[eyedeasneverdie]

He was the worst contestant they've had, and by that I mean the best.

[sebastianpochert]

I was waiting for a David Baddiel compilation. Thanks!

If there were taskmaster groups instead of improv I would join in a second.
