So close… yet so far. #taskmaster

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.

It is certainly one of the top 5 moments in all versions of Taskmaster, seeing a guy whose on screen persona is that of a perennial loser getting something like that in one try... Then losing it because he just barely stepped on the green. What an emotional rollercoaster from throwing a potato!

"Please... please dont take this away from me"

[keltone]

Alex letting him celebrate so openly, knowing he was going to crush him...he really is an evil genius.

And nothing bad happened after the events of this video, and Joe went on to win Taskmaster and live happily ever after.

Joe will always be remembered for this legendary achievement and that can never be taken away 👀

[ChrisJames]

Single best moment in Taskmaster history

[chrisjones]

The simple task idea.
The complication that makes it tricky
The person who aced it
The celebration
The Alex Horne However
The “Don’t take it away from me”
The voting
The disqualification
The Doc Brown disgust

Taskmaster at its absolute best.

The grossest betrayal came when Doc Brown suggested those few centimeters gave him an edge, thus taking his win away from him

[KeithHoran-bp]

Please dont take it away from me still lives in my head rent free. Also this series when joe john says oh no my balloon

[coldoe]

I have never been on such a roller-coaster of emotions as I had watching Joe on this task.

[sgraulty]

This is the task I always show people in order to introduce them to the show. An all timer!

[mrtom]

Potato gate
Is the best thing about that season and definitely top ten of all taskmaster moments

[philgoodinc]

One of, if not, THE best task ever. Simple task, varying executions, celebration, tears, heartbreak, it has it all!

[dhaninputra]

I really wish I can fully forget about this episode and watch it for the first time again. One of my best laughs

[DugTheDog]

Few times my heart has been broken. This was one of them.

[aymiewalshe]

Just knowing what came after this raises my anxiety level. Heartbreaking.

[tormkg]

I'm kind of glad they cut it this way, he deserves some glory for the throw, after all. Everyone should track down the full clip for fuller context though, it's worth the ride.

‘I’M ReAlLy EmOtIoNaL’ 😂😂😂 We can tell 😂

[miwhcyvybaksjd]

One of the greatest moments in sports history
