Series 14 Outtakes - Part 3 | Taskmaster

Here are your final set of unseen moments from Taskmaster Series 14 - what a series it's been!

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

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

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.

Dara saying “is it for cleaning lifts?” in the dark while staring at Henry Hoover is the exact reaction I needed after that live task!

[gsampson]

Honestly I can't remember what life was like before Taskmaster, it's the only show I look forward to every new series

[arthurfox-ache]

“No more sneezes for today” is both the most hilarious and adorable thing I’ve ever seen 😂

[CodyErekson]

I don't think I've ever seen someone like John - a comedian who is shy even while on stage, yet still pulls the joke off.

Love how Dara immediately rewinds for a cleaner cut whenever he says something that wouldn’t make it on the show 😂 professional man

[picaresqueseeker]

I love how absolutely appalled they are by the vacuum XD

[winterlighthome]

Given how often these outtakes show Greg Davies being quite mean to himself, it's nice to know he is also capable of an internal praise system. Poor, dear Greg is such a darling.

The Henry Hoover cord has to be one of the biggest plot twists in Taskmaster history

[hollyludvigsen]

Every time we don't see the banter section in the show I hope to be able to see it in one of these, I love it so much

[FluxMarsh]

My love for Greg grew 3x just watching how vulnerable he was over the Shaolin Monk intro. And that front door bit embodies why I love Alex's work, the awkward, lovely weirdo.

[Peroy]

I love how the short cord on the vacuum cleaner honestly fucks them up... XD

[Amal-oiem]

Greg checking “did I hit you?” to Alex is adorable🥺

[philskrzyn]

One of the many amazing qualities of John is his commitment to the bit

[teresasch]

As a German viewer I never know any of the contestants in the beginning, by the end I can't decide which one I liked the most

[star_wars_fan]

Best lineup since series 7. Also Alex is more sassy and Greg clearly finding it harder to not find Alex hilarious: “Chips: Done!” 😅

[guyjackson]

This was a good selection of outtakes...especially Fern and John! I was dying over John's "igloo bit"...

Besides being the first to feature 'co-losers', here's a few records set from this series:
- It's the first series in Taskmaster history to be won by the person sitting in the leftmost seat (or, in other words, the first person alphabetically), although Adrian Chiles also did the same in the second New Year's Treat.
- It's the first since series 3 not to feature any tiebreakers, so it makes sense one of them got promoted to a main task (the snort tongue one).
- Dara won by the highest lead to date, I'm not 100% sure but I think he was 10 points ahead of Sarah; the highest before was 8, which has occurred multiple times.

[Rumunsko]

The scene with "uh", was the weirdest piece of contemporary art I have seen in a while.

[liammellor]

Why do I think “No more sneezes for today” is the most adorable thing?

[mavrikgr]

Greatest show ever. Love this whole panel. The team that puts this together series after series deserve golden parachutes when the show ends in 30 more years
