Added DiffLines:

* CrazyPrepared: Correctly anticipated that someone would challenge whether her prize entry episode two [[note]]hippest item of headwear[[/note]], a hat with a pair of hips attached to it, counted as headwear or a face covering, so she attached a beret to it to address the issue.


Added DiffLines:

* GracefulLoser: When she's disqualified from the basketball task in the first episode, she happily accepts that her approach broke the rules.


Added DiffLines:

* SimpleButAwesome: Occasionally knocks a task out of the park with a simple approach others wouldn't have considered, or else takes the same approach and wins so decisively that it becomes awesome.

HappyDance: She does a victory dance dances after several tasks, including elegantly returning Alex to the shore (in her underpants), getting Alex back on land in "Dignity Intact". When watching it back, Aisling laments that she did it in grey underwear.

Added DiffLines:

* BribingYourWayToVictory: Mark ''tries'' this in the prize tasks, where he will spend a significant amount of cash on his effort, including £400 on a custom hat that spells "TASK MASTER" in neon letters. This almost always ends with a low score because Greg knows it will frustrate him. The one time it doesn't is for a housing association gate that cost him £18,000, where Greg made him the winner out of pity.
-->'''Aisling:''' ''(impersonating Mark)'' "And sometimes, I'll even pay £400 just to be in last place..."
-->'''Mark:''' We don't yet know how that works out.
-->'''Greg:''' I'll tell you how that works out - [[KickTheDog fourth place.]]
** In the first ever iteration of ''Taskmaster'' in 2009, where the first task was to deposit money into Alex's bank account, Mark sent £200. None of the other nineteen contestants paid more than £1.

* CloudCuckoolander: He's known for his absurdist humor and this is apparent in multiple tasks, such as when he had to give Alex a "special cuddle" and he decided that it was the perfect excuse to climb into his car's boot and close the lid.

* EstablishingCharacterMoment: Her first broadcasted task was to “cuddle Alex.” Although Aisling immediately assumed Alex set the task in an attempt to be perverted, Sally doesn’t assume the same and instead starts mounting him while placing random food all over his body while he’s lying down, establishing the [[NoSenseOfPersonalSpace lack of personal space]] and [[TheGadfly Gadfly tendencies]] she has towards him throughout the series. It also establishes the seemingly desperate craving for sex that becomes a RunningGag in many of her attempts in the show.

** Subverted with the task where the contestants have to get a basketball through a hoop without using their hands; Nish gets so fixated on trying to kick the ball through the hoop that he has over fifty attempts at doing so. While there was no quitting, however, the 'rage' aspect was still very much there:
