* BitchInSheepsClothing: A non-serious, PlayedForLaughs version - Ardal is charming, friendly, and just a genuinely lovable guy, so it seems to take each live audience by surprise when he begins gently tearing down his fellow contestants' efforts.
* BunnyEarsLawyer: Sometimes seems to have a completely unique angle on the tasks, the 'route one' approach seemingly not even occurring to her. This can pay off, like with the pedometer task.
* MoodWhiplash: Her Laika scene took the audience by surprise with how solemn a note it ultimately struck.
* SillyWalk: To the point that Taskmaster fans frequently compare her performance in the pedometer task with the famous Python sketch.
* AscendedFanboy: Subverted. Given his aptitude for the tasks and swiftly getting into the lines and tropes of the show, many considered him to be this, including on the official podcast. He reveals that he actually stubbornly refused to watch the show until he was asked to be on it.
* EpicFail: Episode 8 has a task, involving wearing the longest hat and shoes, that was clearly meant to be an arts and crafts one. Chris took it at face value, and instead hunted for the biggest actual hats and shoes available.

Alex lampshades the contrast with some of her other efforts.
