00:27😀
00:28Hello and welcome to Master Task.
00:40My name is Glom Thiessen and through a science experiment gone wrong, the game show I host
00:46has been body swapped through the multiverse and I find myself here hosting an eerily similar
00:52show in your feeble-minded world.
00:54Now, assuming I have the format correct, we're about to watch some comedians do some
01:01ridiculous things, all for the chance of winning Tom Gleeson's head.
01:07Who are these comedians?
01:11I can only assume it's people sitting over there.
01:14Ann Edmonds.
01:15Jenny Thien.
01:16Josh Thomas.
01:17Lloyd Langford.
01:18And Will Anderson.
01:19Sitting next to me is a man of many talents.
01:29He keeps time.
01:30He blows whistles.
01:31The end.
01:32It's Tom Cashman.
01:33Alright, Lesser Tom, prize task time.
01:39This week our contestants have been asked to bring in the thing you would marry if you
01:43could.
01:44Okay, Ann.
01:46What would you marry if you could?
01:47Well, I said...
01:54We can show who I said up here.
01:56Oh.
02:02Yeah, but I haven't been asked, so whatever!
02:06Okay, Lloyd, you're next.
02:11What have you brought in for the prize task?
02:13I actually might need to talk to one of the producers.
02:23I chose...
02:28I chose Ann Edmonds.
02:32Well, I like the way you both chose this as a funny hypothetical in a game.
02:41And you have been together for a long time and could have done it at any time in the
02:45last however many years.
02:47I got married, it's quite easy.
02:48But now, Channel 10 has to pay for it.
02:52Alright, Will, what thing do you want to marry?
02:56It's going to be awkward because mine's also Ann.
03:01This actually is as sincere as that was, truly, because there is one thing I love above all
03:06other things so much that I write a joke about it every year in my comedy festival show,
03:10so on the day of my shows I can have a piece of it and then talk about it in the show,
03:14claim that piece of it on my tax.
03:16It is cake.
03:17I love cake.
03:18I would love to marry a cake.
03:21That's me on top of my wedding cake getting married to a cake.
03:26That's the loneliest little statue I've ever seen.
03:30I feel like that's a little window into your home life there, Will.
03:34My no-home life.
03:38Josh, what would you love to marry?
03:40I find the thought of getting married quite terrifying and sort of cloying.
03:45I found this quite stressful, actually, and I didn't like the idea of really marrying
03:49anything.
03:50Well, I voted yes for nothing.
03:53Doesn't even appreciate it.
03:59Anyway, so I went with water.
04:03You're not going to regret that, because it's to death do you part, and that just seems
04:11like a lot, actually, because I don't know what's next for me, but I do know whatever
04:16is next for me, I might be thirsty.
04:19Okay, Jenny, what did you bring in?
04:22Well, I thought of marriage as something that's going to be there for you all the time in
04:27your life, no matter what, so I'm thinking about the lowest points in my life and what
04:32was there for me, and also I think the best marriages contain a little bit of spice,
04:37so what I've brought in is a shin ramen.
04:44So we basically have two people wanting to marry each other and three people who like
04:52to consume things.
04:55So I'm going to give Josh one point for the water, I feel like I've seen it before.
05:00So I'm going to give two points to Will for the cake, because I feel like it wasn't new
05:03knowledge for me, I already knew that you liked cake.
05:06Jenny's got three for the ramen, and just because I believe in true love, I'm going
05:11to give five points each to Anne and Lloyd.
05:20Alright, if I had a little task bell, I would ring it, but I don't, so I'll just ask any
05:26task, Lester-Tom.
05:27For this task, I'd like to add my two cents, and then three more.
05:44Hello.
05:45Hi Josh.
05:46Oh, another potato.
05:47Mr Potato Head.
05:48I had an ex-girlfriend who used to call me that.
05:53Show off one of your senses.
05:56The sense you show off must be one of the five official senses.
05:59Most impressive use of a sense wins.
06:01If you pick the same sense as another contestant.
06:04You will have two points deducted for each contestant who picks it.
06:08Oh man, okay.
06:10You have 20 minutes, your time starts now.
06:13So what are they?
06:15Sight?
06:16Smell?
06:17Taste?
06:18There's hearing.
06:19I'm not good at hearing.
06:20You're not good at hearing?
06:21What?
06:22See?
06:23Taste is the obvious one.
06:24You think?
06:25It'd make you sick eating a raw potato.
06:34Yeah, okay, so we've got taste, touch, sight, hearing, smell.
06:37We're just looking for the most impressive use with one of those.
06:40Who's up first?
06:41They're common law partners, let's see if they share common sense.
06:44It's Anne and Lloyd.
06:46How about we do hearing?
06:49I'm going to choose seeing.
06:51What have you got?
06:52A banana, a strawberry, an apple, chips, a mandarin and a blueberry.
06:59And we're doing hearing?
07:00Hearing, yeah.
07:01You could hide him.
07:03Okay.
07:04And I could see him, try and find him.
07:06If I'm blindfolded and you drop each individual item from a height onto the ground.
07:13Yep.
07:14And I'll tell you which it is.
07:16Ready?
07:18Just showcasing my vision for the camera.
07:2811 seconds.
07:29Wow.
07:30If you would drop it like around there somewhere.
07:33So really, really close to your ears.
07:35Well...
07:38That's an apple.
07:41Blueberry.
07:44Ready?
07:48Ha!
07:49There he is.
07:55They're chips, that is.
07:56You really needed to wait that long to guess?
07:58I've got to be 100% sure.
08:03Ready?
08:06Oh.
08:08Oh no, now it's hard.
08:13That's a banana, 100%.
08:18Oh, you're redoing some of the items, are you?
08:21That's another banana.
08:23Stop messing me around.
08:24Get that strawberry on the floor.
08:25I can take my blindfold off, we can all go home.
08:29He's in there.
08:30I knew you were up to something.
08:31You found him.
08:36Actually, I don't know what that was.
08:38I'd say that was a strawberry.
08:40I'm torn between the mandarin and the strawberry.
08:42What's your final guess?
08:43I'll change my mind, the mandarin.
08:45All right, off I pop.
08:46Thank you.
08:47APPLAUSE
08:53So you thought you'd test your vision by looking for something?
08:56Yeah, like I just showcased my seeing.
08:58You're just showing off, wow, you know.
09:04Wow, she can see.
09:06You could argue that your test less assessed your sight
09:09and more your problem-solving skills
09:11and Lloyd's less assessed your hearing
09:13and more what it would be like to be kidnapped
09:15by a mandarin.
09:21OK, so Lloyd,
09:22you were pretty good at identifying things from sound.
09:24I am disappointed that I got the mandarin wrong
09:29because not only could I hear the mandarin,
09:31but it touched me.
09:34Did you think, wow,
09:35this small spherical banana has rolled towards me?
09:40Because it rolled towards you
09:41and I'm pretty sure bananas do not roll.
09:45You know, they sometimes say
09:46when you have one sense removed
09:48then the others become stronger.
09:52Not in my case.
09:55Anne had five attempts at finding Mr Potato Head.
09:58Three of them she found Mr Potato Head in under 20 seconds.
10:02So I'd put that as a 60% success rate.
10:05Lloyd got four out of six correct.
10:07So I suppose if you wanted to look at it this way,
10:10Anne got 60% of hers correct
10:12and Lloyd got 66.66 repeater.
10:15Alright.
10:17Now watching the visually overwhelming footage
10:19of Lloyd on the ground has hurt my eyes.
10:22So I need to cleanse my sense of sight
10:24on these relaxing, low-stimulus ads.
10:26See you soon.
10:38We're back on Taskmaster.
10:40Tonight, three comedians are trying to win
10:42the ultimate prize pack.
10:44Three food items and two unmarried comedians.
10:48Where are we, Lester Tom?
10:49Our comedians are choosing their strongest sense
10:51and using it to try to impress you.
10:53If two contestants or more choose the same sense,
10:55points will be deducted.
10:57I wonder why that's come to mind
10:58ahead of introducing these next two.
11:00It's Jenny and Josh.
11:01No!
11:03My taste buds are pretty dece, I'd say.
11:05I'll go with taste.
11:07We'll do tasting.
11:08You have to come to the kitchen.
11:10That's not where the kitchen is.
11:11So I'm going to do a taste test.
11:13Completely blindfolded,
11:15with all these ingredients here.
11:17How many do I have to do to show it off?
11:19That's up to you.
11:20OK, we'll try and do 100.
11:22100.
11:25Cocoa.
11:28Cumin?
11:29No, it's turmeric.
11:30Oh.
11:31OK, let's go again.
11:35Red powder.
11:38Is that food?
11:39Not sure.
11:40Is it unpopped popcorn?
11:41I don't know.
11:42What is it?
11:43It's loud.
11:44It's a full lentil.
11:46Things are edible now.
11:47You can't eat those, babe.
11:48Honey.
11:50Curry powder.
11:53Pepitas.
11:55Wholemeal flour.
11:57Is it jam?
11:58What flavour jam?
11:59I think probably apricot.
12:00No.
12:06Pineapple and coconut.
12:07OK.
12:12I thought you were trying to...
12:14You were.
12:15No, I thought someone was sick.
12:16I was covering up the sound of the opening of the...
12:19Black tea, I-E-T.
12:29Peppermint.
12:32Popcorn.
12:33Correct.
12:34Last one.
12:35Ten seconds.
12:37Lemon and ginger.
12:39How do we think we did?
12:40We don't know.
12:41We don't even know how many we did.
12:42Not 100.
12:43Probably not 100.
12:44Thanks, Josh.
12:50You both chose taste, which means...
12:52They get two points deducted from their scores, as given at the end.
12:55Yes.
12:56But I feel like you're actually both very good at tasting.
12:58But I think Jenny was better at making up a tasting test.
13:02No.
13:03No, because...
13:04Oh!
13:05Well, Jenny's like,
13:06these are the number of things that I'm going to taste
13:08and I have to identify them,
13:10and then you're like,
13:11I'll do 100, and then you didn't do 100,
13:13and it was a bit messy.
13:14But the point was,
13:15you're trying to prove how excellent you are, right?
13:17So she's picking a small amount of things
13:19and she's picking out of things she already knows what they are.
13:21I'm taking anything from the entire universe
13:23and getting it from nowhere.
13:25So any time I get a win, that's much more impressive.
13:28OK, so with my test,
13:29so I picked things that were of the same texture,
13:31cos you're able to obviously tell it's popcorn in your mouth
13:34because of the texture of it, right?
13:36Yeah.
13:37So there's one variable
13:38that you're allowed to change within a science experiment
13:40and everything else has to stay consistent.
13:42Yeah.
13:43So you were changing two things.
13:44You were changing the thing that you were tasting
13:46and you were also changing the texture
13:48of what you were tasting as well.
13:50Those are two different variables
13:52and therefore it's not a proper experiment.
13:54No, but it's just not...
13:55Yours is easier!
13:57No, it wasn't!
13:58Yours is easier!
13:59Yours was easier!
14:01Everyone here is like, no!
14:05So, Josh, you said you were going to do 100.
14:07You didn't get to 100.
14:08How many did you try, do you think?
14:10As many as Tom would get to me.
14:12OK, which was how many, do you think?
14:14Well, I don't know.
14:16What a fun game.
14:17OK.
14:18Oh, do you want me to guess?
14:19Oh, sorry.
14:20I would say...
14:21Oh, sorry.
14:22Yeah, I know.
14:23Imagine a TV show having **** in Jeopardy.
14:27That's thrilling to guess.
14:28It's thrilling.
14:29Please let me guess.
14:30I think that I got...
14:31I think we tried 32.
14:3331.
14:35Oh!
14:40But let's just take a moment to remember that wasn't the task.
14:45What stats do you have for their attempts?
14:47Josh got 24 successful guesses out of 31,
14:51putting him at 77.41%.
14:54That's good.
14:55That's very good.
14:56And, Jenny, you got seven correct out of nine,
14:59which is 77.77%.
15:02But easier.
15:05My Spidey senses tell me there's one more to go.
15:08That is so awesome that you just referenced Spider-Man just then.
15:13For this intro, I will also reference a movie.
15:15Up next, it's Mr Anderson.
15:19I'm going to use the sense of touch.
15:21OK.
15:22I'm going to touch the hand of God, the finger of God.
15:25OK.
15:26That's one of the best fingers to touch.
15:27Right?
15:29How amazing, right?
15:30Where are we?
15:31Well, we're in another place,
15:33and I wanted you to be here for this
15:35because I'm about to use my sense of touch
15:37to literally touch the hand, the finger, of God.
15:41Well, in this case, I'm going to say
15:43generic male religious deity.
15:45So here we go.
15:46You just stand there, and I'm about to do it.
15:48OK.
15:49OK.
16:04All right.
16:05Well, if I'm going to enter into your fictional sketch world
16:07since you've turned into Mr Sketch Guy on this show...
16:09It's not a sketch.
16:10It's like it was more a drama.
16:11That's what you said last time.
16:12It's not true.
16:13Yeah.
16:14You're trying to get a sketch show up on Channel 10.
16:16Everyone knows it.
16:18And all the sketches are shithouse.
16:20Well, you don't give away your best stuff in your show.
16:28Well, do you believe in God?
16:29Do I personally?
16:30Remember, you work...
16:32Before you answer, remember,
16:33you do work at the ABC as well,
16:34and if you say yes, you'll get fired.
16:40No, no, I believe in all the gods.
16:43So you only touched one out of innumerable gods.
16:49Well, that's fair.
16:50So how many gods are we going to say there are?
16:52It's got to be more than ten.
16:53Oh, there'd be more than ten.
16:55OK.
16:56Well, let's just say more than ten.
16:58That puts Will at less than 10%.
17:00All right.
17:01Well, that makes it quite easy, then.
17:03Will's on one.
17:04Anne's on two.
17:05Lloyd's on three.
17:06Josh is on four.
17:07Jenny Wynn's on five.
17:08OK.
17:09So what are the final scores for this round?
17:11Well, that means we take two away from Jenny
17:13and two away from Josh
17:14because they both chose taste.
17:16All right.
17:17So what are our episode scores looking like now, Lil T?
17:20Tied in last place,
17:21we've got Josh and Will on three points,
17:23but in the lead with eight, it's Lloyd!
17:25Oh, he's touching it!
17:27OK.
17:28Lesser time.
17:29Task us up.
17:30It's time to have a gander at people trying to find a gander.
17:33OK.
17:34I'm going to start with Josh.
17:37It's time to have a gander at people trying to find a gander.
17:53Hello.
17:54Hi, Josh.
17:55Hi, Lloyd.
17:56Twink.
17:57Hello, Tom.
17:58How are you?
17:59I'm OK.
18:00Good.
18:01I'm glad.
18:02Ducks and numbers.
18:03And different coloured bows.
18:05I have a good feeling about this.
18:08Oh, it's so long.
18:10Win a game of duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, goose.
18:15Interrogate these ducks.
18:17Then correctly accuse the one that is secretly a goose.
18:21Tom, you've lost me already.
18:23Oh.
18:24And there's so much more to go.
18:26There are two gangs of birds.
18:28One gang wears blue, the other wears red.
18:30A yes?
18:31One gang always tells the truth, the other always lies.
18:34You may ask each bird one yes or no question,
18:37and not the same question twice.
18:40You have one official accusation.
18:43The goose successfully accused after the fewest questions wins.
18:49Your time starts now.
18:50How much time?
18:51As long as it takes.
18:52And under there is duck pocket dictionary,
18:55duck English, English duck.
18:57You've outdone yourself, Tom.
18:59APPLAUSE
19:02So it's a logic puzzle, really.
19:04Using limited yes or no questions,
19:06the comedians have to discover the imposter duck.
19:09Pretty straightforward.
19:10I think we should get straight into it.
19:12Let's do it.
19:13Will they duck and leave or take a successful goose step?
19:15It's Will and Lloyd.
19:16Quack equals yes, quack, quack equals no.
19:19Hmm.
19:20Interesting.
19:21Duck number seven, are you wearing a blue bow tie?
19:26Quack, quack.
19:29Duck number five, is my name Lloyd Langford?
19:33Quack, quack.
19:35You son of a bitch.
19:37That is no.
19:39Which means...
19:40The blue team or the lion team?
19:42I'm going to say duck number six, my question to you is...
19:45Is the goose on your side with a red bow tie?
19:49Quack.
19:50Quack is yes, and they always tell the truth.
19:53The goose is red.
19:54Duck number four, are you the goose?
19:57Quack, quack.
19:58That's the truth, it's not number four.
20:00Duck number seven, is the goose on a number that is divisible by four?
20:08Quack, quack.
20:09He said no, so it is.
20:11The goose has to be duck number four or duck number eight.
20:14Duck number eight, is duck number two the goose?
20:17Quack, quack.
20:18Number one, is number eight the goose?
20:20Quack, quack.
20:21That's a no, which I'm going to take as a lie.
20:24Sure, I'll direct this question to number eight.
20:28Number eight, are you the goose?
20:32Quack.
20:33Number eight, I accuse you of being the goose.
20:37Your accusation is correct.
20:40Yeah.
20:41Thanks, Tom.
20:48So finally some male comedians got to make some accusations.
20:54Felt pretty novel to me.
20:58So you both did pretty well there, I think.
21:00Felt like I could have gone a bit quicker.
21:02There was a couple of wasted questions where I could have narrowed it down
21:06a little bit more.
21:07How did you go, Lloyd?
21:08I absolutely loved it.
21:13What did you love about it, Lloyd?
21:15It was like a puzzle.
21:16There were rules to it and there was logic and there were no silly
21:21little surprises.
21:23So let's not forget the point of the task, it's the least number
21:27of questions.
21:28So how many questions did they ask?
21:30Will asked eight questions in total before successfully accusing
21:33the goose.
21:34Lloyd asked four questions.
21:42Well, my goose is cooked.
21:44That's not an expression.
21:45I've cooked up.
21:46I hold goose backstage as I do every episode.
21:49You watch some ads, I'll go carve it up and we'll see you
21:53after this.
22:04Welcome back to Taskmaster, the show that is taking the simple
22:07childhood game Duck, Duck, Goose and turning it into a logistical
22:10nightmare involving courtroom accusations and a pocket dictionary.
22:14Tom, care to explain?
22:16Our contestants are trying to find the secret goose amongst the ducks.
22:19We've already learnt that the red team always tells the truth and
22:22that number eight on the red team is secretly the goose.
22:25OK, who's next?
22:26Like when you threw those five lamps at me in the green room earlier,
22:29it's all about to duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck.
22:32It's Anne and Josh.
22:33Quack, yes.
22:34Quack, quack, no.
22:35I'm going to make you quack.
22:37This feels more like just a dumb prop than it being important.
22:40What's a notebook?
22:41Eight.
22:42Are you something that starts with G?
22:45I'm not going to fall for that.
22:47So the first thing is to deduce who's lying, who's telling the truth.
22:51Duck number seven, are you on the blue team?
22:54Quack, quack.
22:55Are you something that starts with G?
22:57Oh, now I'm really confused.
23:00Number five, am I wearing white shoes?
23:03Quack, quack.
23:04I actually have no idea.
23:06You know when you go into a parallel universe?
23:09That's how I feel.
23:10I'm like...
23:11Number three, is the sky red?
23:14Quack.
23:16I'm assuming that the one quack corresponds to a yes
23:19and the two quacks corresponds to a no,
23:21although other way round.
23:22But along the way, I forgot what I did,
23:24even though I wrote it down.
23:25Are you number five?
23:27Quack, quack.
23:28I mean, that was an absolute waste of time.
23:30Was it?
23:31I'm trying to work out who's a liar and who isn't.
23:33How many quacks were there?
23:34But I genuinely can't remember.
23:36I might be having some sort of episode.
23:40Number ten, are you not a duck?
23:43Quack, quack.
23:44I think I've misunderstood something.
23:46I think the blues are the liars.
23:48But what does that matter?
23:49Like, what am I doing?
23:51If they're a liar or not, what do I care?
23:53Number 90, would you say that a male version of you is a gander?
23:58Quack.
24:00Can I make an accusations now?
24:02At any time, you can make an official accusation,
24:04if you'd like.
24:05Number ten is the goose.
24:06Is that your official accusation?
24:08Yeah.
24:09That's incorrect.
24:10So, two to a red is a yes and one is a no.
24:14How many do I have left?
24:16One question left.
24:17It's all riding on this.
24:18Hey, eight, are you much bigger than a duck?
24:22Quack.
24:23My official accusation is that eight is the goose.
24:26That is a correct accusation.
24:28Did I get it?
24:29Yes!
24:30I worked it out!
24:32Ha!
24:33Thanks, Anne.
24:34See you later.
24:35Thank you!
24:36What they're cheering exactly, I do not know.
24:39I mean, so, Anne, just to be clear,
24:42you asked the goose first, do you start with the letter G,
24:46and it said yes.
24:47Yeah.
24:48I feel like, with this task, I would need to take that
24:52information that is in the task and go away for a year.
24:58I don't know.
24:59I don't know.
25:00I don't know.
25:01I don't know.
25:02I don't know.
25:03I don't know.
25:04I don't know.
25:05I don't know.
25:06I don't know.
25:07I don't know.
25:08I don't know.
25:09I don't know.
25:10Once I'd asked someone and they lied.
25:12I then didn't know who I'd already asked.
25:14I know I should have written things down.
25:16I know a lot of things now, you know,
25:18that I didn't know then.
25:19Because you read the dictionary.
25:21I did, yeah.
25:22So you knew what they were saying.
25:24One quack was yes and two quacks were no or something.
25:26Everybody else opened the dictionary where it said one
25:29quack equals yes, two quacks equals no.
25:31Josh looked in a different page, saw nothing, said oh it's a notebook, at no point knew
25:37which one was the yes and which one wasn't, and was writing down questions as true questions
25:42and false answered questions, and somehow got the answer anyway.
25:46Yeah, so I spent the first half trying to learn Duck.
25:56With a dictionary in your hand.
25:57Yeah.
25:58Alright, so how many questions did they ask?
26:01Well Ann asked five questions to get an unsuccessful accusation.
26:04Josh asked ten questions and successfully accused the goose.
26:08Okay.
26:09Alright, we've got one more high octane legal stoush to watch.
26:15Will she be out for a duck or will she goose correctly?
26:18It's Jenny Tan.
26:19So obvious questions to get out of the way is I could interrogate them straight up and
26:24ask one of them, are you the goose?
26:27But that would be like a one by one process of elimination.
26:30You know what, I'll just start there as a potential question I could ask.
26:34These are potential questions, not actual questions?
26:36No.
26:37The other way to eliminate it is to kind of try and figure out which teams are the truth
26:42tellers and which ones are the liars.
26:44Oh my god, this is breaking my brain.
26:47Do you see what I'm doing?
26:50No.
26:51I'm really regretting giving you a pen.
26:52I will eventually make a guess by the way.
26:55I'm not going to sleep here.
26:57Okay.
26:58Yeah.
27:00Oh, I don't even know where to start.
27:07I'm going to take a walk around.
27:08Where are you going to go?
27:09Around.
27:10I just need to think about something that's not ducks for a moment.
27:16You know, because the people that are obsessed with Werdl are like really into it.
27:20So they're usually like quite good at it, you know?
27:22Totally.
27:23Yeah.
27:24Perhaps we ask one of these birds a question.
27:25Yeah.
27:26How long have I been doing this?
27:27You've been doing this for 42 minutes.
27:28Would you also like an update on how many questions you've asked?
27:32Yeah.
27:33We're at zero.
27:34All right, this is my official question.
27:39Wait, what was the sign for yes or no?
27:43Number 10.
27:44Are you on the team with the goose?
27:47So it's either lying or it's telling the truth.
27:51So what have we learned?
27:52I'm not getting anywhere closer.
27:53So if I asked, is the goose next?
27:59No, I shouldn't say the goose.
28:00They all lead me to the same thing.
28:04Let's just keep entertaining hypotheticals.
28:13Number one, are you on the team without the goose?
28:18Yes.
28:19To number three, is number 10 the goose?
28:23Is number 10 a duck?
28:28So then if number two was protecting number 10 and lying to me, and I asked, is number
28:3410 a duck?
28:35Then it would say yes.
28:37I am ready for my accusation.
28:39You're going to make an accusation?
28:40What?
28:41You want me to ask more questions?
28:42No.
28:43Okay, number 10, I accuse you of being a goose.
28:50Your accusation is incorrect.
28:52No.
28:58That was so funny.
29:14I mean, I've never seen someone work so hard for such a bad result.
29:19So how many pages did you fill of that notebook?
29:21Because I was trying to figure out the probability, and at no point did it occur to me that I could
29:27ask the ducks and the goose questions other than about each other.
29:33So then I was drawing matrixes, and I think I drew six matrixes.
29:39Jenny was drawing a grid system with 10 rows and 10 columns, thinking about, yeah.
29:48Thinking about the combinations of what, which is how you solve some problems.
29:52It's weird because it's like so much smarter than me, but it's so dumb.
29:58Yes.
29:59Can you understand how frustrated I felt when you got it?
30:05With absolutely no logic.
30:10Jenny took a total of one hour, 26 minutes, and 49 seconds.
30:15In season one, Danielle Walker's attempt at passwords took one hour and 54 minutes,
30:19but that is the second longest I've spent during a task.
30:26All right.
30:27Well, we've got to put the scores together, so straight up, Anne and Jenny are out with zero.
30:30They get zero.
30:31Josh gets three points because he took 10 questions to get the correct accusation.
30:35Will gets four points because he asked eight questions, and Lloyd gets the five points
30:39with only four questions asked.
30:42All right.
30:44It's time we take another break.
30:46Why?
30:47Well, it's simple economics.
30:48The less time I spend on your screens, the more my hourly rate goes up.
30:52I host Smarter Not Harder.
30:54See you in a tick.
30:57Welcome back to Taskmaster, where our contestants are trying their darndest
31:01to win a cup of ramen and Lloyd Langford.
31:04Mmm.
31:06Dinner and dessert.
31:09What's next, Lester-Tom?
31:11They've fumbled their senses, they've bumbled through a trial,
31:14and this next task they'll try to stumble into a chance occurrence.
31:27It's me. Hello, mate.
31:29Hi, Will.
31:30Hey, sugar.
31:31Hi, Josh.
31:32Hey, Tom.
31:33Hi, Jenny.
31:34Ah. What's this all about?
31:36Weals.
31:38Weals.
31:40Wild talent. I mean, it's a clue of some kind, I imagine.
31:44Is there another word for it?
31:46Wild talent.
31:48Wild talent.
31:50Wild talent.
31:52Wild talent.
31:54I mean, it's a clue of some kind, I imagine.
31:56Is there another word for it?
31:58Like the literal whale tail, or are we talking about the bit of undies
32:01that sometimes stick up the back of...
32:03Have you heard that described as, like, you know,
32:05if your G-string's out the back of your pants?
32:07I rarely wear a G-string.
32:09But, I mean, you would have maybe observed this,
32:11and they will often call that a whale tail.
32:13They call that a whale tail.
32:14We're of different generation.
32:16And when I see something like that, I look away.
32:18Don't accuse me of looking more closely at it.
32:21I'm not sure looking.
32:22OK. Interesting.
32:24Fluke something.
32:26Biggest fluke wins. You have 30 minutes.
32:28Your time starts now.
32:30Fluke, in this context, does not mean whale tail.
32:34Just a bit of a pun.
32:35Fluke is just, like, you do really well at something accidentally.
32:38That's right.
32:39Do you have any sharp knives? Cos there's a target over there.
32:43I mean, there's a target over there, but that seems obvious.
32:45I feel like a lot of people are throwing things at stuff.
32:47Yep.
32:48Boring.
32:49APPLAUSE
32:53Yeah, so you've got to get lucky with something, pretty much.
32:56That's right.
32:57The definition of fluke is an unlikely chance occurrence,
32:59especially a surprising piece of luck.
33:01Well, thinking of the career trajectories of the comedians,
33:04it's all down to right place, right time.
33:07So, as professional flukers, this should be easy.
33:09Cashman, who's up?
33:10They're lucky in love,
33:11but can they be lucky when push comes to shove?
33:13It's Anne and Lloyd.
33:15So, maybe let's get some sharp knives.
33:17This feels dangerous.
33:20I go downstairs.
33:22I'll give you a certain distance where you can move along and drop this.
33:25I'm only allowed to turn around once it's been dropped.
33:28Does that make sense?
33:29No.
33:30I reckon it does.
33:31Have you thrown a knife before?
33:32Nope.
33:36Are you going to try again?
33:37No, I'm going to give up and go home.
33:39OK, I've got small mandarins.
33:41Drop.
33:43Ooh!
33:44Drop.
33:47Drop.
33:52Tell you what, this has given me a lot more respect for circus folk.
33:55How much respect did you have before?
33:57Barely any.
34:03I paid a compliment to the circus folk and they delivered.
34:07Do you feel skilful?
34:08I mean, that was clearly a fluke.
34:10I had to prove it was a fluke.
34:11Now I'm going to do 17 minutes of missing again.
34:15Drop.
34:16Ah!
34:18You got it?
34:20Yes!
34:24There's no way to celebrate.
34:31I have a newfound respect for all circus performers, carnival folk,
34:36clowns, rollercoaster operators.
34:39I think you do a wonderful job
34:41and it's easy to overlook the difficulties you face every day.
34:45I didn't hear an apology in there.
34:47I'm sorry.
34:52OK, Lloyd, so if you do something over and over again
34:55until you get it right, is that a fluke or is that just practice?
34:58It was definitely a fluke.
34:59Tom will attest to that because I must have done it 100 times
35:03and it went in once.
35:04You did it 67 times, so you did 20 attempts,
35:07you got it on the 20th and then you did 47 more
35:10to prove it was more of a fluke so you had more attempts.
35:13If what you're saying was true,
35:15I would have got better and actually got worse.
35:19OK.
35:20So what would have you done if when you kept throwing it again
35:24you got it in a second time?
35:26I would have quit the show and joined a circus.
35:35Anne, I feel like given your results in all the other tasks to this point,
35:40even you just winning anything would be a fluke.
35:44Fluke implies to me like fate or divine intervention.
35:47Oh.
35:48So the fact that Tom and I crossed at a certain point
35:52and he dropped the mandarin and I was there,
35:54to me is the pure definition of fluke.
35:57Actually, that wasn't a mandarin, it was a banana.
36:05Anne successfully caught the mandarin on her fourth attempt.
36:09Fluke-ish.
36:10Because I also feel like if you're trying to catch it,
36:12you wouldn't have.
36:14Are you the goose?
36:21OK.
36:22Who's next?
36:23While I never say no to a lucky dip,
36:24these two want to avoid a dip in luck.
36:26It's Josh and Will.
36:28I'd like a beer.
36:29Oh, yeah.
36:30Shall we have a beer while I try and figure this out?
36:3211th of September...
36:34Oh, no, no, September 11th, that's the wrong...
36:36That was a fluke to you?
36:37No, no, no, I was going to just try and guess your birthday
36:40and I'm not sure why September 11 came up.
36:43I'm going to throw the zebra
36:45and the fluke is going to be if that's entertaining.
36:47OK.
36:51Was that entertaining?
36:52It was horrific.
36:53Donald.
36:55Your dad's name.
36:56No.
36:57Circumcised.
36:58Me or my dad.
36:59I mean, again, that's just the 50-50.
37:02You can tell me later, though, cos now I am curious.
37:04Do you want to know now?
37:05Yeah, all right.
37:07Oh, OK.
37:08OK.
37:09If I throw this and it lands upright
37:11and all the flowers are still in, then I'm in.
37:15What happens if you don't do that?
37:17Well, then we have to just keep walking around in a malaise
37:20trying to figure out how to do a fluke.
37:22In a malaise?
37:23Is that the right word? Google it.
37:24If you Google it and I've used the word malaise correctly,
37:26that feels like my entry so far.
37:28A general feeling of discomfort, illness or unease.
37:31And I got it wrong.
37:32We're getting really towards the end.
37:34I mean, we've only got, like, one minute and 28 seconds to go.
37:3724.
37:38Oh!
37:39Do you want to ask me the definition of another word
37:41that you think I wouldn't get?
37:42Hoi polloi.
37:43Hoi polloi, I know the answer to,
37:44but I also don't know what to tell you.
37:46It's just a lot of, like, that's a lot of hoi polloi,
37:48a lot of, like, hoity-toity nonsense.
37:49Oh, it means the common people generally.
37:51Hubris.
37:52Hubris is when you, like, believe in yourself too much.
37:54I listed hubris just then when I told you I knew what hoi polloi meant.
37:56OK, yeah, overbearing pride.
37:58Thomas Cashman, do you have a middle name?
38:00Yep.
38:01Yeah, OK.
38:02James.
38:03Thomas James Cashman.
38:04Correct.
38:05Oh!
38:06All right, OK.
38:07Martinette.
38:08It's a type of curtain.
38:09Someone who demands exact conformity to rules and forms.
38:12That's you.
38:13You're a bloody martinette.
38:14Convivial.
38:15Convivial is when you're getting along,
38:17you're trying to get along.
38:18Enjoyable atmosphere or jovial company.
38:20That was right.
38:21Did you know it?
38:22I think I did know it, if I'm being honest with you.
38:24OK.
38:25And I feel like, you know, maybe for this last 28 seconds...
38:28Yeah.
38:29..we should...
38:30Ah!
38:31Yes!
38:32Well, I failed, but I did get a beer.
38:34Yeah.
38:35On to the next one.
38:36Thanks, Josh.
38:42All right, so, Will, you had many attempts at a fluke.
38:45Which one are you going to run with?
38:47I honestly think the build-up to that last one,
38:49like, by the Lloyd logic of how many times you get it wrong
38:52proves that it's a fluke when you actually get it right.
38:55It was my last attempt,
38:56and I got it wrong so many times up until that point.
38:59I celebrated by clapping my hands together so hard
39:02that the next day when I went to set, I had a bruise on my...
39:08OK, so, Josh...
39:09Hey, babe. Hey.
39:10..no flukes for you.
39:11It seemed to me you just wandered around the paddock
39:13just saying stuff.
39:15The original fluke I was going with was,
39:17if I throw this and it's entertaining, then that wins.
39:21And I threw the zebra,
39:23and the zebra is in the opening titles.
39:28So, that's got to be a highlight.
39:34It's a pretty good argument.
39:36But at the same time, it's not a fluke
39:38that something by you was in the opening credits
39:40cos you're in the show.
39:42If Hannah Gadsby was in the opening credits,
39:44that would be a fluke.
39:45No, no, no.
39:46But that moment, of all the moments,
39:49how many weeks were we filming out there?
39:51Like, nine and a half...
39:52One. ..months.
39:54We were out there, walking around the field.
39:57The fact that that moment made it in the opening titles
40:00without context
40:02has to be the absolute best result
40:04I could possibly ask for in this.
40:06OK. Alright.
40:07Would you look at that?
40:08I just spotted Cashman giving the secret signal
40:10that he needs to apply his emergency fungal cream.
40:14And I spotted it right at the ad break.
40:17That's right.
40:18Fluke perfect timing. See you soon.
40:28CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
40:30Welcome back to Taskmaster,
40:32a show built on comedians fluking their way
40:35through tasks outside their ability.
40:37Cashman, what's going on?
40:39We're watching Fluke's Biggest Fluke Wins.
40:41OK, that means there's one more to go.
40:44Yes, will she be lucky last or just last?
40:46It's Jenny Tien.
40:48Have you ever fluked something before?
40:50Oh, constantly.
40:51What do you think I'm bad at?
40:53What do I think you're bad at?
40:54Yeah!
40:55This is a trap.
40:56Successfully accusing a goose.
40:58LAUGHTER
41:00I'm pretty bad at that.
41:02Could we set up the duck-duck-goose thing again?
41:05Do you want to do that? Yeah.
41:07Oh, my God, you're going to break me again.
41:09But if you got it right, imagine.
41:11Imagine.
41:14LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE
41:21Welcome back, Jenny.
41:22I'm ready for my redemption.
41:24You've got to fluke it with one successful accusation.
41:27All right, here we go.
41:29Number five.
41:30I accuse you of being a goose.
41:33That's incorrect.
41:35No!
41:37LAUGHTER
41:39Oh!
41:42Thanks, Jenny.
41:43Oh!
41:45LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE
41:55LAUGHTER
41:59So, no fluke for you.
42:01No, but I tried so hard.
42:04So, just to be clear,
42:06you got zero from the same task twice in the one episode.
42:11Look, I'm not going to lie.
42:13I did try to draw another matrix.
42:15LAUGHTER
42:19No!
42:21Come on, we can only take so much pain.
42:23I mean, Jenny, would you like to make a successful accusation now?
42:26Wait, what?
42:28Do you remember which one was the goose?
42:30You just accused the goose.
42:32Oh!
42:33Honey.
42:34Right.
42:35LAUGHTER
42:36So, I accuse number eight.
42:38Oh, my God!
42:39OK, I get what you're trying to do.
42:41APPLAUSE
42:45OK, so I have to hand out some scores for this, don't I?
42:47That's right.
42:48All right, so it's zero, zero to Josh and Jenny
42:51because they were flukeless.
42:53Well, unless you buy Josh's logic about being in the opening credits.
42:56If I say, if this is entertaining, that's a fluke,
42:58and then you put it in the opening titles of the show,
43:00that's a crazy fluke.
43:02I understand what you're saying,
43:03but you're presuming that the opening credits are entertaining
43:05and they may not be.
43:07And I can prove that they're not,
43:09because when they're on Paramount Plus...
43:11LAUGHTER
43:13..there's a little logo that says Skip Credits
43:15and a lot of people press it.
43:17And, in fact, it comes up when your bit's on.
43:20Skip Credits. Bang. Gone.
43:23So that's zero to Josh.
43:25LAUGHTER
43:27Three points to Will,
43:28because I feel like there wasn't much time left,
43:30so there were only so many seconds you could have guessed.
43:33Four points to Lloyd.
43:34I respect that you just kept throwing that knife and missing.
43:36That was a very risky endeavour.
43:38If you got it in one more time, that would have ruined the whole thing.
43:40But five points goes to Anne, because that was a massive fluke.
43:43CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
43:46OK, listen, Tom, have you got the episode scores?
43:49Well, Jenny and Josh are both on six points up the back,
43:52but Lloyd is in the lead with 17 points for the episode.
43:55CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
43:57OK.
43:58When one task closes, another task opens.
44:02And in this case, that big screen is also going to open,
44:05because it's time for the live task.
44:07So go on, everyone. On stage.
44:09CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
44:13OK, this looks like a children's party with no children.
44:16What are we looking at, Lesser Tom?
44:19LAUGHTER
44:26Is that part of it? That was not part of it.
44:28Are you sure?
44:30Will, if you could please read the task.
44:32I can.
44:33While holding your jars of hundreds and thousands,
44:36walk through the door, then put your party hat on,
44:39then pull on your fun pants, then unwrap your present,
44:43then blow your party blower.
44:47You must keep one jar of hundreds and thousands
44:49in each hand at all times.
44:52You have 120 seconds.
44:54Most hundreds and thousands remaining in jars wins.
44:56Oh, we're going to look bloody ridiculous.
44:58LAUGHTER
45:00Ready, set...
45:01WHISTLE BLOWS
45:04LAUGHTER
45:08CHEERING
45:12LAUGHTER
45:17Oh, wait, it goes this way.
45:19CHEERING
45:24LAUGHTER
45:31Are you allowed to help?
45:36I don't... I can't...
45:41LAUGHTER
45:43A sacrifice has been made here by Will.
45:45I can't get the hat on.
45:50One minute remaining.
45:52One minute? I haven't done nothing!
45:54How do we do it?
45:59LAUGHTER
46:0350 seconds.
46:06CHEERING
46:12LAUGHTER
46:15CHEERING
46:2230 seconds.
46:25CHEERING
46:3120 seconds.
46:35CHEERING
46:3810 seconds.
46:41LAUGHTER
46:465, 4, 3, 2, 1.
46:53WHISTLE BLOWS
46:57Very good.
46:59All right, we'll measure up those hundreds and thousands
47:01after the break. See you soon.
47:03CHEERING
47:11CHEERING
47:13Welcome back again.
47:15You're about to witness the exciting conclusion to Taskmaster.
47:18We've seen our comedians poop their own parties
47:21by spilling the hundreds and thousands.
47:23Tom, who will be number one and who are the zeros?
47:27Well, Jenny has been disqualified
47:30because you did not complete the course.
47:32The rest of you did complete the course
47:34and what we're measuring here is how many hundreds and thousands
47:37were remaining in your jars.
47:39Josh is in fourth with 292,272 hundreds and thousands
47:45and in third place with 423,820 hundreds and thousands.
47:50I thought... I thought it was about that.
47:53I thought that, yeah. I looked at it.
47:55Lloyd, second place with 524,209 hundreds and thousands.
48:00Josh gets five points with 557,231 hundreds and thousands.
48:08Rather exciting, but let's waste no more time.
48:10What does that do to the final scores?
48:13Well, Jenny is down on six points,
48:15a score I would have called Josh-esque,
48:17but Josh is on 11, Will is on 12 and on 15,
48:20but with an enormous win,
48:22it's the medium-sized Welshman, Lloyd, on 21 points.
48:25CHEERING
48:28Get on stage, Lloyd.
48:30And, Anne, you'd better get up there too because you're a prize.
48:34And, Lesser Tom, is it not time to have a look
48:37at the latter for the whole season?
48:39Boo!
48:41Well, there's a lot of numbers up there.
48:43It can be a lot to compute, but the way I like to look at it,
48:46Jenny has the lowest number, so she's doing badly,
48:48and Lloyd has the highest number, so he's the leader.
48:53All right, expert analysis, Tom.
48:55It's inspired me to also offer some insight about what I've learnt.
48:59Lloyd learnt that if it looks like a Mandarin
49:01and sounds like a banana, then it's a Mandarin.
49:04And we all learnt that if it looks like a goose
49:07and quacks like a goose, Anne Edmonds doesn't give a shit.
49:11LAUGHTER
49:13Give it up once more for our winner, Lloyd,
49:15and we'll see you next week.
49:17CHEERING
49:32Let's get into the good stuff, Tom.
49:37Oh, maybe I'm going to be a genius at this game.
49:41Oh, no!
49:45I mean, I do feel silly.
