Series 16 Outtakes - Part 2 | Taskmaster

Another hand full of the funniest moments of Series 16 so far that didn't make the final episode.

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

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

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.

Oh, to be someone who hasn't seen the episode when they cut to Sue just sitting there in a giant sunhat.

[bondfool]

7:52 The cut to Sue in that massive hat killed me.

[lils]

Knowing that Greg is friends with Bridget and yet describes his friendship with Alex as the weirdest really puts it into perspective

[barzdinstone]

I love how openly and genuinely weird everyone is in this season, it works, and adds a lot to the humour

[catheriner]

Greg accuses Alex of feeding the fanficcers but he's really not better with "his pesky wife got in the way a little bit"

[theyruinedyoutubeagain]

"It's the weirdest friendship of my life" from a man whose best friend is Rhod Gilbert, that means a lot lmao

[lils]

The full version of “Greg and Alex” is absolute gold

[glenrobinson]

"Stroke children? Slash children" seems like genuine parenting advice that Greg would give.

[JzanderN]

5:54 I like that Greg was looking at Alex and going slightly after him at first (i.e. cheating) until it got to "Who has the most trouble sleeping at night because of all the difficult thoughts racing through their head?" at which point he immediately knew it was him.

[AlbertSquareAfterDark]

Let’s be fair here. Greg referring to his relationship with Alex as a “friendship” is untold progress.

[winterlighthome]

Watching 16.8, I kept thinking, "Greg really seems to enjoy this cast a lot. There's a lighthearted vibe to this series."

[Narokkurai]

"You will not tap me. You WILL not tap me!"

"Then how would you like me to get your attention?"

"With reverence!"

[gryrabild]

I love when Greg gets affectionately baffled by Alex or a contestant, it’s very infectious ❤

[AfferbeckBeats]

I love that after 16 seasons Greg can still be so impressed with how weird Alex is

[ShonnDaylee]

Greg being genuinely weirded out by Alex is a mood.

Also, Lucy is from another planet, clearly.

[notme]

There must be some extended outtakes from the aftermath of Sam bribing young Flossie. I anxiously await Part 3 to see them.

[JessicaRainbow]

I love how the "banter" at the start of the show is real and Greg has no idea what weirdness Alex is gonna pull!

[TheFray]

"who struggles the most with the overwhelming burden of being a human"

I have never felt more connected to anything in my life LOL

[TREVONBACH]

16/8 was best yet... if you don't agree, lemme open my jacket slightly...

[fclp]

Them being aware of the AO3 fanfiction is just the best bit
