History Funny / TaskmasterS6S10

* Tasked with writing down "an interesting ten-word fact" and then mouthing it to the Taskmaster

** Rhod, true to form, decides to tie up Alex, strip off most of his clothes, and force-feed him coffee through a large horn.

-->'''James''': I don't really know how to surprise you...WAHA, BANANA! ''(he throws a banana at Alex)''

** Both the women get the idea to fill it full of water. Liza pops it into the bucket in her bag and turns it on, and the hose begins to leap around and spray water everywhere. Liza ''screams'' and takes off running, disappearing around the corner of the house.

* Rhod's prize task submission always being the same picture of Greg in his underwear.

* The Split task
** Rhod requests that Greg's mother wear a fez while bathing, to which [[DoubleTake Greg's reaction goes from "it's a cheap shot at my weight" to "cannot believe my eyes" in less than a second]], with him visibly looking confused and in disbelief. He has to shake his head just to clear it of what Rhod had done.

* In the task to get a scale to reed 31.770 kg:

** Rose brings in a crocheted bag ([[VisualPun emblazoned with the word "BEST"]]) which she knitted herself:

'''Rose:''' NONE! ''[[mumbling]]'' Cos I crochet.'''

* [[FanDisservice Phil Wang's outfit]] and the anguished groans it elicits from the studio audience.

* Ed has one of the all-time Taskmaster breakdowns during the 'get this rubber duck in the pond' task, deciding to try and link up a stream of water down some pipes, and then refusing to back down from that strategy despite clear evidence that it won't work. He becomes gradually angrier and angrier until after 97 minutes he snaps, beheads and buries the rubber duck, and quits the task.

* The task requires contestants to choose a box, take it to the lab, and place 10 pairs of glasses inside it, without breaking any. Only when they reach the lab do they realise... it's 10 pairs of ''drinking'' glasses.

** David finds Alex clearly visibly with the leafblower sticking out of his wheelie bin but decides to use his last remaining commandment to strike that bin with the frying pan.

* Ed has one of the all-time Taskmaster breakdowns during the 'get this rubber duck in the pond' task, deciding to try and link up a stream of water down some pipes, and then refusing to back down from that strategy despite clear evidence that it won't work. He becomes gradually angrier and angrier until after 97 minutes he snaps, beheads, and buries the rubber duck, and quits the task.

--> '''Alice:''' (Gesturing at the audience) And she’s here tonight!

** Liza's idea is equal parts Main/{{Squick}}y and hilarious. She asks Alex to complete the task on Greg's behalf, and gets him to sit with his bare bottom on a large cake. In the aftermath, she runs away giggling loudly.

* Phil Wang's outfit and the anguished groans it elicits from the studio audience.

--> '''James''': It is such a bad omen that [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} Rhod]] is the smart one.

* At the end of Phil's attempt on the "write a ten word story while running" task:

** Later, James tries to interject himself into an argument of Rhod's circle, prompting Greg to smack him down.

-->'''James''': I don't really know how to surprise you... WAHA, BANANA! ''(he throws a banana at Alex)''

---> '''Rhod:''' But you don't remember.
---> '''Greg:''' I do remember. It was my own toilet.
---> '''Rhod:''' It wasn't, actually. It was at the Edinburgh Festival. [...]
---> '''Greg:''' In that case, you should have written in [[AccidentalPublicConfession "Greg has broken two toilets."]]

* James suddenly calls Greg a pussy in the studio and Greg decides to go into "teacher mode", pulling James aside for a gentle, but firm, talking to. This delights the audience because everything is picked up by the men's microphones and because James is legitimately contrite and terrified. Towards the end, when Greg is clearly at wit's end attempting to open Phil's box, he suddently stands up and throws it on the floor.

** Rhod's delivery. He spears the task with a javelin, and then throws it at full force into the caravan.

* The live task is a team task, and involves placing heavy objects on the hanger, with the team who causes it to break losing.

--->'''Rhod (Reading what's on the card):''' "I, Gregory Davies, being of sound mind, [[TheTapeKnewYouWouldSayThat hereby predict that during the coat hanger task Rhod Gilbert will make a joke about how fat I am]]".
** Phil goes first, and immediately breaks it.

** James does an intensely creepy stare at the camera, and lasts about eleven seconds.

** Alex casually mentions that his child outsmarted all five competitors, by pointing out that the easiest way to win the task is just keep your eyes closed when the whistle blows, as then you don't need to blink. All five of the line-up then groan and/or facepalm.

** James and Phil start building an extension while Rhod just stands there with his eyes closed. Then, Rhod suddenly opens his eyes and declares he has an idea. Separately from the other two, he wanders off to the garage, closes the garage door (behind which there was plenty of good extension-building equipment), and sticks a carboard sign to the door saying 'Extension'. James is furious, even more so when Phil defects and starts helping Rhod instead.

* The live task involves walking along a catwalk while doing a magnificent walk, so that they hit the drum at exactly 9.58 seconds.

** Then, during the task, Jess actually ''does'' fall off the stage! She loses the task, but gets two bonus points for the most magnificent walk.

* Most of the 30 second compositions, but in particular James's, titled 'Over my Shoulder'. In response to the lyric 'Is that a boulder?'

** Rhod requests that Gregs mother wear a fez while bathing, to which Greg's reaction goes from "it's a cheap shot at my weight" to "cannot believe my eyes" in less than a second, with him visibly looking confused and in disbelief. He has to shake his head just to clear it of what Rhod had done.

---> '''Greg''': Anyone else here find that as traumatic as I did? I could not take my eyes off it.\\

** Rhod's interpretation of the satsuma task, and Greg's initial feelings that it should be allowed, results in yet more genuine rage from James. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xZUWkA3cZMg The outtakes]] reveal James not only accused Greg of favouritism, but also turned on Rhod, who'd backed him getting points for the hula hoop task.

** Kerry recreates ''VideoGame/{{Tetris}}'' using plastic shapes that Alex pushes towards her, but quickly becomes frustrated as Alex speeds up.

'''Alex:''' Well, we’re going to show this on the tv.

* The task to create the best looking moustache from a distance. Lou’s immediate answer is pubes. She quickly dismisses it though.

** Paul having to make a continuous noise, while running as far as he can, while wearing a bathrobe.

---> '''Paul:''' (Upon seeing Joe’s blob-fish picture) That’s how your mom sees you Greg.

** At the start of the task, Alex ties everyone's right hand to bucket A, so that if they move too far the sand is released. Lou is carrying a cup of tea in her other hand when she enters the room, and Alex refuses to take it, so she attempts to put it down on the ground while Alex is in the middle of tying his knot. This immediately releases the sand, and Alex's shrug is equal parts annoyance, disbelief and helplessness.

** Joe manages to find all five apples without any help from the clues, but is hesitant to look up through the table slats like a pervert.

* One of the challenges is to open several bags of crisps while wearing a costume with gloves or props that hamper the hands, and to guess the (quite unusual) flavours.

** Joe and Sian essentially make a massive cloak held up by a long pole, with Joe walking in front and Sian crouched behind him. Lou, Paul, and Iain put binbags over themselves and lay down on the floor to form their person, with Lou as the head, Paul as the arms, and Iain as the legs.

** Ed spends a good portion of the task teasing Alex for not being able to find the aubergines he's hidden, particularly when Alex keeps insisting there's not one in one area of the room, but staying in that area.

** There is a task hidden underneath Bin #2. Rose moves Bin #2 away but completely misses the hidden task. David is the only other person to reveal the hidden task ("Alex is odd") and immediately deduces that Alex must be in an even-numbered bin-- no wait, an odd-numbered bin. According to Ed, when the footage of Rose's attempt was shown in the audience, David whispered to him "I didn't know there was a task hidden under the bin."
** David finds Alex clearly visibly with the leafblower sticking out of his wheelie bin, but decides to use his last remaining commandment to strike that bin with the frying pan.

** The team of Ed, Katy and Rose, who display a sense of urgency, end up having to restart twice at the bench due to failing a part of a task or grabbing the "wrong turn" task and end up completing the entire task in ''24 passes'' (the Oldies completed the entire task in 9 passes), walking well over ''600 metres'' and finishing in 29 minutes (in comparison, the Oldies took 36 minutes).
** For the first team task of the series Alex points out it's the team of two versus the team of three because that is [[BlatantLies definitely fair and no-one ever gets in touch to let Alex know that they think it isn't]].

** Ed's [=VT=] is singled out and not shown until after it is revealed that the second part of the task is to score a goal with a roller with your sculpture as a goalie. It is then revealed his "delicate thing" is a clay statue of a baby... and yes, he does steam roll over it.

-->'''Ed:''' Once you get used to it and become more experienced, you can release it exactly when you want to. [...] Any followup questions Greg?

** David says "Q", causing the audience to audibly groan as David ''immediately'' [[ThisIsGonnaSuck realises that was a mistake]]. Then he reads the second part of the task, instructing him to find as many items beginning with that letter as he can in five minutes and place them on a tray. [[{{Pun}} Cue]] him piling random items onto the tray, while claiming [[BlatantLies he has a speech impediment causing him to pronounce everything as beginning with Q.]] Back in the studio, Alex reveals they had stocked the fridge with food beginning with Q. Greg does end up judging that "[[UsefulNotes/AmericanAccents Qoffee]]" was a valid item.

** Greg reminisces on how his grandfather was able to crack walnuts bare and one-handed, but otherwise was a very unpleasant man.

* As with the previous episode, Katy is not in the studio. Unlike the previous episode however, Alex reveals she isn't sick anymore, she just doesn't want to be there.[[note]]In actuality, the studio segments are filmed in pairs so Katy missed that entire day.[[/note]]

** When David steps up for the second round, he gets a raucous round of applaud and cheers, with Rose even going to her knees. David's response is a simple "Stop taking the piss".

** David inexplicably tries to flip the task over with his mouth when all the other are able to do this easily by slipping the task between their fingers. In his actual attempt, he hovers with his backside over the drumstick and attempts to ''hope'' for the ring on his back to catch onto the drumstick.

* During the prize task round ("best thing from your shed"), the cast has a field day making fun of Rose's pronunciation of the word "shed." Rose gives as good as she gets by condescendingly saying “shed” in an English accent while also making a mocking face that includes crossed-eyes. After the initial laughter dies down, Alex is still laughing:

** After Ed's attempt is shown, in which he shouted at Alex several times and tried to get him to hurry up, David notes that Ed's desperation to win is coming out. Ed counters saying it's dedication. Katy also compliments Ed's attempt as being rather sexy and quite butch. Then Rose tries to argue against Ed's attempt:

** Ed does his in character as a crying baby, complete with Alex appearing as his mum at the end:

** Rose hides under a large false rock, and slowly walks towards Alex.

---> '''Ed:''' ''(in a ThisIsGonnaSuck tone)'' So, can I just check, have I been put on a team with David Baddiel?\\

** In the final round, just as the whistle goes off, Ed catches sight of David's drawing and his jaw drops to the floor. David's guess is that the drawing was a cubist men's genitals -- it was meant to be three aubergines.

** The group of three also apparently spent 5 of the 10 minutes checking a variety of places for a key, such as the sugar, the milk and Alex's person, which includes Ed forcing Alex to take his shoes off.

** By the second mini task, Ed is already showing signs of annoyance when Alex points out he doesn't have many pins to aim for, having put some of them in the wheelbarrow. Once he's finished though, the rage is palpable.

** Daisy fails almost as soon as she starts. She leaves the phone box to look for items in the shed. In the process she leaves the phone box door to slowly close on a tray holding one of the pints. It topples just before she can make it back.

** When trying to transport the teddy bear without stepping on the grass, Mawaan becomes fixated on the balls scattered on the grass saying that they must be the answer. Even in the studio Mawaan maintains that the balls must have been there for a reason. Alex tells him that of course they were there for a reason: Mawaan threw the balls during the first part of the task.

** However Mawaan stands out by trying to inflate an egg with helium, which predictably explodes. Greg is incredulous that a grown man would think that would work, and predicts this early lunacy would define Series 10.

** One of the rules of the task is that the contestants aren't allowed to move the hoops. Mawaan completely forgets this, and ends up picking the hoops off the floor to throw over the balls. The ending of the clip shows him walking out of the room, with the sound of his voice reading out the rules edited on top.

** Daisy creates an upside-down background and suspended chickens upside-down to animate a stop motion film. However, the camera is also upside-down, so the final product is right side up. She also provides a "haunting" soundtrack with her own vocals. Made even funnier by the reactions of her fellow competitors: Richard is reduced to laughing into his hands, Johnny has gone red in the face trying (and failing) to stifle his laughter, and Katherine is wiping away tears.

'''Daisy:''' Well no, first of all, I find it disgusting that he think's he's 5'8".

** Daisy tried to describe her method for dropping a water balloon from a great height without breaking it a similar to a high-diving act. She apparently believes that high-diving acts are only practiced [[OnlyInFlorida in the American South.]] [[EskimosArentReal Greg is so certain high-diving acts don't exist at all]] that he chooses to make fun of her description of them in the episode's sign-off joke.

** Richard and Daisy shot theirs before social-distancing rules were in place, so Richard smashes open the melon (like Tim Key did in Series One) and the two proceed to feed each other. What follows is a highly uncomfortable sequence as they enthusiastically to start slobber and gobble the watermelon, with Daisy being particularly enthusiastic.

* The live task is to list off unique three, four and then five letter words with no more than a 2 second gap in between each word. Daisy's approach is to rattle off as many swear words possible, including one that's ''still'' censored in the post-watershed airing.

* The task is to draw the animal that is watching them from through a two-way mirror:

** Mawaan grasses up on Daisy. He draws attention to Daisy dropping the task envelope on the red green-- not that it helps him, since everyone gets disqualified in this round.

** Johnny tries to get sympathy points off of Greg by stating that if he scores badly on this task, his 17 year-old son will never speak to him again. Without hesitation, Greg gives a heartless response of "so be it."
* Katherine in the 'count the balls' task. All the balls have to be in the basket once the time is up. With about one minute left on the clock, Katherine inexplicably starts pouring the balls out of the basket, which not only makes them more difficult to count, but also effectively disqualifies her from the task.

* Katherine again, this time in the 'put the wellies on the spider' task. She fails to realise that she can leave the room, spends some time looking for the 'spider' (briefly considering that she might be the spider, but then coming to the conclusion that she can't be, because she doesn't have eight legs), and finally inexplicably interprets the table on which the wellies are resting as the 'spider' (as it has eight legs). This leads to an in-studio debate as to what constitutes a ‘spider’.

** Ed dresses up as a police dog who digs up and eats a grape used as a murder weapon. Ed goes into a bit more detail into the backstory in the studio:

** Richard goes all-in on making a fake wine advert for 'Pinot Gregio', made at the 'Taskmastaire' vineyard. This includes a shot of his feet stepping on the grape, which Greg promply makes fun of.

** Liza tells Alex she won't make him get his arse out, because she's already made him do that before. Cut to Kerry making Alex get his arse out. Apparently, Kerry did it because she thought it was Alex's brand to get his arse out.

* Ed has one of the all-time Taskmaster breakdowns during the 'get this rubber duck in the pond' task, deciding to try and link up a stream of water down some pipes, and then refusing to back down from that strategy despite clear evidence that it won't work. He becomes gradually angrier and angrier until after 97 minutes he snaps, beheads and buries the rubber duck, and quits the task.

'''Johnny:''' It was the B-Side!
'''Greg:''' [[WaxingLyrical What a feeling!]]
'''Alex:''' [[ServileSnarker When you walk on the ceiling?]]

* Before anything happens, The Taskmaster takes light umbrage with a Vegas error to universal [[corpsing]].

* The entire task to transport eggs from a balcony to a frying pan without throwing them is a symphony of failure. However Mawaan stands out by trying to inflate an egg with helium, which predictably explodes. Greg is incredulous that a grown man would think that would work, and predicts this early lunacy would define Series 10.
* This [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ERLvefF8jlA NSFW outtake]] from the transport-an-egg task, which completely derails proceedings as Greg starts riffing on the unfortunate imagery of Katherine's attempt.

* The first task is also the first team task of the series. Daisy is in the lab when Richard quietly enters the room, and Daisy instantly jumps back and yells "oh god" when she sees him. This gets lampshaded in the studio:
-->'''Greg''': Richard Herring, walking into a room, causes a woman to shout, "oh god!"
* Johnny isn't really needed for the team task, so he gets his own task that puts him on top of an umpire's chair and has him make different, and gradually louder, noises for ten seconds every minute for 20 minutes. He makes several different noises, but the standout is him starting out by quoting Richard Nixon:
-->'''Johnny''': I am not a crook! I am not a crook! I am not a crook!
-->'''Katherine:''' Is that part of the task?
-->'''Mawaan:''' No, I think that’s just Johnny?
* Part of the team task involves retrieving the caravan key from within a large candle. A blowtorch has been provided for assistance. Mawaan and Katherine both take turns using the blowtorch on the candle, and Greg (through much stifled laughter) draws a distinction between their reactions to the candle and the key:
-->'''Mawaan:''' That's some next-level shit!\\

-->'''Alex:''' Katherine, did you think he was actually upside-down?
-->'''Katherine:''' (Tentatively) [[BlatantLies … no.]]
* Johnny Vegas makes a personal-injury-lawyer joke while standing on a rickety ladder, only for the ladder to promptly break from under him.
* During the foot-launched-catapult task, Katherine's various attempts all fall apart. However, she remains so earnest in her belief that they'll work that the normally stoic Alex is visibly corpsing and trying to hide his reaction from the camera.
-->'''Katherine:''' It's a shame that my hands aren't my feet.

* Johnny completely falling apart while trying to solve a puzzle to make a phone ring.
* A blooper from this task reveals that upon seeing the chickens one contestant did ‘a terrified trump’. In a rare moment of softness, Greg says that the moment isn’t meant to humiliate anyone and the clip will only be shown if everyone agrees to it. Katherine immediately outs herself by being the only one to protest the showing. She eventually concedes and the clip confirms that Katherine is indeed the culprit but given how the clip was edited one could reasonably think that Mawaan was the trumper. However, Katherine then inexplicably decides to dig herself deeper by asking to see the clip again. The team replays it with the volume enhanced leaving no doubt that it was Katherine. She reacts by covering her face with her hands while shaking her head as Greg tries to reassure her (as convincingly as he can since he’s laughing the whole time) that he would have had the same reaction.
-->'''Katherine:''' No! Okay, no! I- (covers her face).
-->'''Greg:''' Hey, it was scary! Katherine, it was scary! I’d have had a little trump! (To Alex) Would you?
-->'''Alex:''' (Also laughing) Oh, yeah. Yeah!

* Daisy tried to describe her method for dropping a water ballon from a great height without breaking it a simmilar to a high-diving act. She apparently believes that high-diving acts are only practiced [[OnlyInFlorida in the American south.]] [[EskimosArentReal Greg is so certain high-diving acts don't exist at all]] that he chooses to make fun of her description of them in the episode's sign-off joke.

* Johnny interpreting himself as the 'animal' that he has to draw.
* Katherine decides that since no animal is immediately apparent, she is going to draw a rat since there were probably some of them hiding about (the task took place in what appears to be an old warehouse). After her time is up, Katherine walks out of the room and off-camera as her mic picks up her questioning if there was truly an animal in the room and then telling herself that there was no animal.

** Greg struggling to understand why Mawaan thinks he could fill the cup in a "metaphorical way".
--->'''Greg''': How does the cup overflow in a metaphorical way?
--->'''Mawaan''': Like, you've got a lot on in your life.
--->'''Greg''': Because I'm busy?
--->'''Mawaan''': Yeah...
--->'''Greg''': Ok. And how are you going to apply that to that cup?

* The prize task is for the best collection. Katherine brings in a series of homemade masks that she had been compelled to make over a span of the previous six months. They have fun poked at them throughout the segment.

* Kerry in the opening VT for the grape task compares the cloche to a boob. The clip then cuts to Richard asking if he should "[[GagEcho pick up the breast]]".

* The live task is to pack either five bricks or five balloons into a case, and have Greg guess which one they've packed. While they are preparing their cases, a loud popping noise comes from Ed's side of the room, which sends Greg into hysterical laughter.

* During the "Make The Bag The Heaviest" challenge, both the women get the idea to fill it full of water. Liza pops it into the bucket in her bag and turns it on, and the hose begins to leap around and spray water everywhere. Liza ''screams'' and takes off running, disappearing around the corner of the house.

-->'''Greg:''' It was like a one-man ''Last of the Summer Wine'' at times.
-->'''Tim:''' ''Last of the Summer '''[[PungeonMaster Vine]]'''''!

* Rhod's quick-change outfit, which involves removing Alex's underwear. It sets the series trend for Rhod's tasks often humiliating Alex.
* At one point during the live task, James just sags down and, instead of using the grabbers to grab a hold of the fruit on the table, just uses them to shove all of it onto his head, with limited success.
* In the same task, Jessica realizes that James has crawled up to her table and is stealing her supplies. She pauses in the task to yell, "Get off my fruit, Acaster!"
* Alex Horne, Executive Ball-Clicker.

* James's EpicFail in the 'make the biggest circle' task. Instead of making one big circle, he decides to spin a hula hoop around his arm while cycling in a circle. The hoop gets stuck on his torso, he crashes the bike, then lands on a circle on the ground and tries to claim it as part of his attempt. When Greg calls him out on it:
-->'''Greg''': Have you got anything different to add?
-->'''James''': ...[[TitleDrop my eyes are circles]]?

* At the end of Phil's attempt on the "write a ten word story while running" task:
-->'''Greg:''' ...Twist! He's eaten his own child! Which is an act of? ''[points over to Alex]''
-->'''Alex:''' ...H-Happiness?

* James tries to excite Alex by surprising him.

** This fails to get Alex's heart rate up at all.
** Rhod, true to form, decides to tie up Alex and force-feed him coffee.

* Tasked with writing down "an interesting ten-word fact" and then mouthing it to the Taskmaster, Rhod writes "Greg broke a toilet seat by sitting on said toilet". Greg guesses "Greg brawls in dog jail, think bail, failing all dog death."
--> '''Alex:''' He does have quite a strong accent.

* James tries to press the emergency button to halt the lift to give himself more time during the 'completely change your appearance' task. The button makes a quiet alarm go off, but the lift continues, much to James's frustration.
* Rhod and Kerry get into a vicious argument about which of them changed their appearance more, during which Rhod yells that all she'd done was "stick some Brillo pads to [her] tits". This line delights James so much that he inexplicably leaps to his feet and runs behind his chair (much to Jess and Greg's confusion).
* It is quite some time before Jess realises she can leave the room during the scales task.

* Jess's 'worst gift from a named relative' is a feather boa, which she wore with long opera gloves to the secondary school disco.
-->'''Jess''': What happens when you wear a feather boa and opera gloves to the secondary school disco?
-->'''Greg''': What?
-->'''Jess''': You do not get fingered.

* James's delivery of the task to Alex, which is insane, and involves Richard Osman.
* Rhod's delivery. He spears the task with a javelin, and then throws it at full force into the caravan.

-->'''Traffic Warden:''' I'm a philistine.
-->'''Phil:''' You're a philistine? ...I'm a Philip Wang.
-->''(both laugh)''
* The live task is a team task, and involves placing heavy objects on the hanger, with the team who causes it to break losing. Phil goes first, and immediately breaks it.

-->'''Rhod (Reading what's on the card):''' "I, Gregory Davies, being of sound mind, [[TheTapeKnewYouWouldSayThat hereby predict that during the coat hanger task Rhod Gilbert will make a joke about how fat I am]]".

--->'''Jess''': You can't be with him, Donna.
--->'''Kerry''': Why?
--->'''Jess''': 'Cause you're his mum!

--->'''Phil''': My water's broken!
--->'''James''': My heart is broken.
--->'''Rhod''': Rub a dub dub!

* The shambles that is James, Phil, and Rhod's extension. James and Phil start building an extension while Rhod just stands there with his eyes closed. Then, Rhod suddenly opens his eyes and declares he has an idea. Separately from the other two, he wanders off to the garage, closes the garage door (behind which there was plenty of good extension-building equipment), and sticks a carboard sign to the door saying 'Extension'. James is furious, even more so when Phil defects and starts helping Rhod instead.

* The live task involves walking along a catwalk while doing a magnificent walk, so that they hit the drum at exactly 9.58 seconds. Before the task starts, this conversation happens
--->'''Alex''': Does anyone have any questions?
--->'''Kerry''': What happens if we fall off the stage?
--->'''Alex''': Oh, you don't need to walk blindfolded, [[TemptingFate you should be alright]].
--->''everybody laughs''
--->'''Jess''' ''(laughing)'': That's what I thought!

* Most of the 30 second compositions, but in particular James's, titled 'Over my Shoulder'.
** In response to the lyric 'Is that a boulder?'
--->'''Alex''': At one point, you wondered whether or not something was a boulder.
--->'''James''': Yeah, cause you know, is it a boulder? Or [[CallBack is it just a... big rock]].

* The Split task has Rhod make Gregs mother wear a fez while bathing, to which Greg's reaction goes from "it's a cheap shot at my weight" to "cannot believe my eyes" in less than a second, with him visibly looking confused and in disbelief. He has to shake his head just to clear it of what Rhod had done.
-->'''Greg''': Aww Jesus Christ. You traitorous old woman.

* The other half of the split task sees James and Phil attempt to improve upon their hula skills. James practises for weeks, then completely fails when it comes to the actual task.

* Phil thinks he's found the satsuma among the socks, but discovers it's a different citrus fruit.
-->'''Phil''': A LIME!
* Rhod's interpretation of the satsuma task, and Greg's initial feelings that it should be allowed, results in yet more genuine rage from James.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xZUWkA3cZMg The outtakes]] reveal James not only accused Greg of favouritism, but also turned on Rhod, who'd backed him getting points for the hula hoop task.

* The contestants are told that whenever they hear a siren sound, they have to drop everything and rush to put on a boiler suit and lie on the ground. The final task is to tie themselves up as securely as possible... during which the siren sounds.
* Once again, Rhod proves that his brain works differently from everybody else's. Since the task specified that the winner would be the person who was freed slowest by Alex, he decides to tie ''[[NoYou Alex]]'' up first. Back in the studio, Alex admits that he never managed to untie Rhod; Rhod untied ''him''.

* The video game task. All of it.

* Paul takes nearly thirty minutes to find a baby monitor. Made even funnier is that the next closest competitor only took nine minutes.
* To find the baby monitor, the contestants are given the receiver taped to a long stick which is attached to a helmet. A camera is also attached to the end of the stick, leading to confusion from Lou.
--> '''Lou:''' And what’s the camera for? (Immediate realization) Oh!
--> '''Alex:''' Well, we’re going to show this on the tv.
* When Greg asks Paul about his [[Literature/TheHitchhikersGuideToTheGalaxy Arthur Dent]] inspired costume:
-->'''Paul:''' Well I'm known for looking like a twat on ''Series/TheChase''...
-->'''Greg:''' I don't think you look like a twat.
-->'''Alex:''' No, he does.
* The task is to create and then seduce a ventriloquist puppet. Joe’s idea of seduction? Killing his balloon puppet by stabbing it with scissors.
-->'''Joe:''' Is that what you wanted? (Beat) What?

* Joe’s expression during the first team task. Greg says that Joe looks like he’s watching someone transform into a lizard.

* Iain getting winded from just walking across a field.
* Paul having to make a continuous noise, while running as far as he can, while wearing a bathrobe.
-->'''Greg:''' How lovely to see a deleted scene from ‘One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest’.

--> '''Alex:''' So, a lot has gone on there. We had a 'hen' and 'chicken', then we had 'Baliflu'.
--> '''Iain:''' I'll be honest with you: when I made that word up, I didn’t think the game was gonna continue.
--> '''Alex:''' Are we allowed 'chicken'?
--> '''Iain:''' It's a different word!
--> '''Greg:''' No, sorry, you're out!
--> '''Iain:''' ''(Incredulous)'' Oh, but 'baliflu' was fine?!

** Sian sent a photoshopped nude of Alex to Greg with a text ("Come to mumma"). As a follow-up, Greg mentioned this to Alex's wife, who confirmed it wasn't true because the man in the picture has a big penis and small testicles, while Alex is "quite the reverse".
** Lou walks into the living room, smacks a water balloon on Alex's head, then gets down on her knees to apologize for... throwing flour on his car. While relatively innocuous, she then "apologises" by signing him up (using his actual phone number) with a variety of telesales (including an estate agent and the Church of Scientology).

-->'''Joe, singing''': Oh have you heard the good news? Alex Horne is finally dead. Now that Alex is dead, I feel like I can finally breathe. Alex's murder is evidence for the existence of God.
-->'''Alex''': Alex's ''murder''?
-->'''Joe, singing''': If he was killed by a person, that person should be let off. And knighted. Fuck off, Alex.

* The prize task is the best present for a doctor.

--->'''Greg:''' (Laughing) Is that all it takes Lou?
--->'''Lou:''' (Nodding enthusiastically)

---> '''Iain:''' ‘You may not touch the sand’, well I’ve done that. ‘You may not move the buckets’, done that. ‘You may not leave the room’, fuck it! Let’s do that as well! What a waste of everyone’s time, you IDIOT!

--->'''Joe:''' (Singing) Mm, Get together! Mm, Mm, get together!
--->'''Sian:''' (Singing) But it’s too big!
* The contestants need to memorize the order that a deck of cards are in.

* One of the challenges is to open several bags of crisps while wearing a costume with gloves or props that hamper the hands, and to guess the (quite unusual) flavours. One of the crisps is flavoured "vegan chocolate". Without knowing what it's flavoured with, ''every single contestant'' reacts to it like it's poison.

--->'''Lou:''' What’s powerful? Creating life is powerful. I could take some sperm - ''(starts laughing)''.
--->'''Alex:''' Want to finish that sentence?

* Downplayed, but Rose almost always loses confidence in the middle of selling her prize task submissions to Greg.
-->'''Rose:''' ''[unenthusiastically, while defending the pink cowboy hat taken from the Taskmaster House]'' ... which I think is quite cool and makes it the best thing taken from someone else's house. Yeehaw. ''[{{Facepalm}}]''
** This climaxes in her final prize submission, as part of the celebrations for the Series 9 finale.
--->'''Greg:''' Rose. Long and thin. Grand finale. Oooh.\\

** Sian sent a photoshopped nude of Alex to Greg with a text ("Come to mumma").
*** As a follow-up, Greg mentioned this to Alex's wife, who confirmed it wasn't true because the man in the picture has a big penis and small testicles, while Alex is "quite the reverse".

*** Alex reveals he did this ''only'' for Ed, accurately predicting that he would be the one to try and pull that trick.

*** Ed's direction to Alex is "Stand up and shout loud". Alex stood up, and shouted the word "loud".

** Liza takes her wind-up man to the car park and has it travel across. After a couple near misses from a car and a bicycle, the wind-up toy is struck by a slow-moving car but is otherwise intact and functioning. Liza then walks up to the wind-up man and '''''stomps''''' on it, leaving Alex rather distressed. In the studio, Alex explains that he was genuinely upset because that was the only wind-up toy the production crew had at the time.

*** When David steps up for the second round, he gets a raucous round of applaud and cheers, with Rose even going to her knees. David's response is a simple "Stop taking the piss".

** Liza's idea is equal parts Main/{{Squick}}y and hilarious. She asks Alex to complete the task on Greg's behalf, and gets him to sit [[spoiler:with his bare bottom]] on a large cake. In the aftermath, she runs away giggling loudly.

* The prize task is to bring in the 'creepiest thing'. As usual, from Rhod, Greg expects the same photograph of himself in his underwear. Rhod's ''actual'' submission? [[spoiler:A phone-shot video... of Greg sleeping. Shot from inside Greg's wardrobe. Where Rhod had been hiding ''all night''.]]

* The team task is to put the most weight in a hammock without anything falling out. [[spoiler:Lou gets her team disqualified by dropping a book. She absolutely insists that she caught the book despite the clip clearly showing otherwise.]] Greg says that he doesn’t need to make a decision as to whether Lou is lying; all they need to do is replay the clip and watch Lou’s eyes. They do so and show Lou looking like a complete deer in the headlights.

** Iain gets all of the pink ladies but [[BatmanGambit can’t resist when Alex asks Iain if he wants to showboat by now finding the remaining two oranges.]] [[spoiler:He ends up turning over the green egg and gets disqualified.]]

** Ed does his in character as a crying baby, [[spoiler:complete with Alex appearing as his mum at the end]]:

[[spoiler:Alex emerges from the caravan in a blonde wig and red lipstick and kisses Ed on the cheek]]\\
