* Curiously, discounting sudden increases or decreases as a result of changing episode numbers (and thus opportunities to win more or less points overall due to more/less tasks), from Series 1 to Series 11 a consistent downward trend can be identified wherein with one exception the contestants of each series earn less points overall than the contestants of the previous series. The sole exception is Series 9, wherein the contestants earned a combined total of 766 points, 17 points more than Series 8 (749 points). From Series 11 onwards contestants have scored more points in subsequent series, though the contestants of Series 14 only scored one more point (796) than their immediate predecessors (795). This also makes the contestants of Series 14 the highest scoring of any series since Series 6.

* When looking at the ''tasks'' from which the titles derive (i.e. the source or subject of the comment used for the title), 103 (88.9%) have been from video tasks, 10 (8.7%) from live tasks, two (1.7%) from trick tasks ("Welcome to Rico Face" -- if counted as a trick against Jon Richardson -- and "Absolute Casserole"), and only one from a prize task ("Aquatic Sewing Machine"); one more came from no task, but rather came while the final scores were being read out ("Having a Little Chuckle"). No titles have emerged from tie break tasks. Among video tasks, tasks later in the episode are preferred (as with the scarcity of titles from prize tasks): 23 episodes (22.3%) are named for the first video task, compared to 36 episodes (35.0%) for the second and video task and 35 (34.0%) for the third.

* Two episodes owe their titles to the same joke: both Series 8's "A Novel About Russian Gulags" and Series 10's "A Documentary About A Despot" were both named by the Taskmaster after a contestant described a task as 'dehumanising', with the Taskmaster's response being that the title source was the sort of place he'd ''expect'' to hear that word rather than Taskmaster itself.
