Taskmaster exists in a rather horrible Alternate Universe where people have to do pointless embarrassing tasks to win favour with Evil Overlords in order to live.
This isn't just a fun Panel Show produced by Alex Horne, this is a sinister way of life for most of the pitiful inhabitants of this terrible universe. Taskmaster exists in the same universe as HolyMotors
HolyMotors also features actors acting out multiple sinister scenes for unknown yet clearly disturbing purposes. There appears to be some kind of Evil Overlords in charge, but unlike Taskmaster, we never see them.
