From series 8 of Taskmaster Iain Stirling, Lou Sanders, Paul Sinha, Joe Thomas and Sian Gibson attempt to score a goal from the furthest distance followed by a winning celebration.

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.

Life lesson here.
You don't have to be a huge success.
But everyone else just needs to fail miserably.

Fun fact: Sian´s celebration inspired the task where they had to run while making a continuous noise

Y'know Ian could've just put the smaller goal post next to the bigger one to get even more area 😂

[_Ekaros]

I have to admit. Sian's attempt was even perfectly respectable. It is not horrid distance for that size of goal for probably person who don't kick ball around too much.

The lesson we learned today:
Even if you're shit at what you're doing, you're still the best if everyone else failed.

Sian running into the treeline squealing is my sleep paralysis demon

Joe wilkinson’s potato throw and Mark Watson’s 148 out of 150 cheeky texts live on in infamy as the most tragic taskmaster moments, but I think Iain’s goal has got to be up there. Like a solid third at least. The Shakespearean tragedy of it 😭

I want to see an episode where the contestants are asked to write a task for their competition, followed by a task to complete it themselves.

[RighteousWeevil]

i feel like the moment he decided to wheel in the full-sized goal was the moment he guaranteed failure

[yester]

Let's be honest, this whole task was just an excuse for Alex to spray the paint around the ball.

[connorwelsh]

They’ve realised I can’t live without taskmaster and are posting more or less every day!

There might be a bonus point is another way of saying "There won't be a bonus point but please embarrass yourself anyway".

[nighthunter]

I predicted the fail when I saw the big goal.

Every once in awhile I get caught up in watching British game show reruns and they're so good. US gameshows are just people on a stage

[mudbray]

Honestly, Iain deserved to miss that goal. Terrible form on that kick.

[e_eyster]

Im actually a little bit surprised no one anticipated everyone else just being super ambitious and shot it from basically zero distance in what would probably be an at worst third place finish.

[andracatheduckking]

7:36 that facial expression cracks me up every single time

[emi]

sian deserved a bonus point because she was so genuinely excited that she made the goal that the celebration was actually exciting

This show is more addictive than nicotine
