Series 12 Outtakes | Taskmaster

Taskmaster withdrawal setting in? Here are some outtakes from the series 12 finale.

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

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.

The best part about Taskmaster is that the outtakes could fit perfectly in with the usual show. It's just a good time all around.

I love Victoria. Even more for saying Alex is what she wants on television. Alex is tv magic

[andrewdonahizzle]

The last scene fucking kills me. Especially the brief pause where it's quiet and Greg says "...think I can't?"

[JithinJacob]

As Victoria said, it really is weird without an audience. It's so eerily quiet. We can't even hear the crew.

"I will roundhouse you on television" might be my favorite Greg Davies quote.

[DarkHarlequin]

8:08 Refusing him the ability to explain and just asking for a name is comedic genius right here 😁

[informedchoice]

Lovely to see Alex genuinely laughing.

[SingleMaltIdiot]

Watching Alex trying to direct the show while Greg keeps missing the cue while becoming increasingly upset is easily the highlight of these outtakes for me. It's such a great fusion of showrunning meets their unique flavour of on-screen chemistry. Also hearing Greg going on about his increasingly dynamic (read: lethal) roundhouse kicks is amazing

6:23 is the moment where Victoria, Alex and Greg all have the same pun that works so well, it’s beautiful

[iamdb]

I agree with Victoria's comment, I think Alex is perfect... very weird, but always funny

[benzaiten]

Alex is far more sassy than what is shown on regular TM!

[itsnotworthit]

honestly greg getting angry is just a sight to behold

[melissah]

Alex Horn is a genius! Developing this show and then making himself the assistant and the butt of everyone's jokes and wrath.

[justin.booth.]

The fact that I laughed just as hard at the outtakes as I did the actual show just shows how amazing Taskmaster is. I love how every series has its own dynamic with the cast but also between Greg and Alex, sheer perfection. I mean I get why they cut the flying horseman bit because it runs a bit long but my god I was dying! Here's hoping for a great series 13!

the alex wife insult still makes me laugh

[ujai]

I always love outtakes.
But they also make me realize how much I miss crowd noise in the studio.

[therranolleo]

Someone should make a tierlist of all the ways Greg introduces Alex at the start of the episode

[sadfry]

What an absolutely phenomenal cast - right up there alongside series 4 and 7!! :-)

[PaulaHoell]

The last one was incredibly hilarious :'D

[amylloyd]

I second what Victoria said about Alex! He is the ultimate show runner and I would gladly watch anything he does! He has enriched our lives, brought us so much joy and laughter and helped me personally and so many others get through the pandemic w HomeTasks!
Thank You Alex Horne!
