00:04Where's the ball?
00:05No!
00:06Woo!
00:07Oh!
00:13I'm totally going.
00:16Damn!
00:22Here you go, good boy.
00:24Don't make me chocolate, you!
00:28You're going to be like this today, aren't you?
00:38Hello and welcome to Taskmaster, a journey of mindfulness where five comedians will learn
00:43to embrace humiliation, release their dignity and accept that their best will never be good
00:49enough.
00:49Breathe in chaos, exhale regret.
00:52Inner peace is impossible, suffering is temporary, but my ridicule is eternal, for I am the Taskmaster.
01:03And competing against one another in this karmic cycle, we have...
01:08Mason Nandola, Brett Blake, Celia Piccola, Joel Creasy, and Perth's very own Rogue McManus.
01:21Yeah!
01:23And next to me, as always, is a man who recently told me in confidence that he wished more hotties
01:29came to his comedy shows.
01:32It's Tom Cashman.
01:39How are you, Tom?
01:40Oh, I'm not too bad.
01:41I went to the doctor this week.
01:42Oh.
01:42I got diagnosed with AD.
01:44I think there might have been a few more letters, but I tuned out halfway through the
01:48diagnosis.
01:50I tuned out halfway through that material, Tom.
01:55What's our prize task, Lisa Tom?
01:56Tonight, our contestants have been asked to bring in what they consider to be the most confusing
02:01thing to hand to a stranger with no explanation.
02:04Alright, Joel, what unexplained item have you brought in?
02:07Well, look, as we're learning, I'm a bit of a hot mess.
02:11I'm feeling better today.
02:12You know, I'm holding it together.
02:13Yeah.
02:14I didn't hold it together about 15 years ago, though.
02:16I'd saved up enough points and it was the first time I gave myself a little upgrade to
02:20the pointy end of the plane, and I drank that plane dry.
02:24And as I got off the plane, I handed the flight attendant my lasagna recipe on a cocktail napkin.
02:35We had never interacted the entire flight, nor had we mentioned lasagna, nor do I have a lasagna recipe.
02:52I'm slightly disappointed. I was hoping it was just going to say cook lasagna.
02:57Alright, Brett, what about you?
03:00Mine is a bloody knife in a bag.
03:05Imagine that!
03:07Is that confusing? I think I'd have a pretty good idea about what happened.
03:11Yeah, because it sort of goes with your look as well. Maybe it's completely easy to explain.
03:17Yeah, if it was Brett, there's no way he'd have the full thought to put it in a bag.
03:22Do you get day release to do this show, or...?
03:25That's not a watch, that's a bracelet.
03:29Celia, what did you bring in?
03:30I brought in an inflatable kayak.
03:37My partner, who I have a child with, gave me for my birthday a few weeks ago an inflatable kayak,
03:43and I was very confused.
03:45And he knows me very well, and I was confused, so I can imagine giving it to a stranger would
03:50be quite confusing.
03:51Had you expressed any desire to go paddling, or...?
03:53Let me tell you this, Tom. I think when I walked into the living room and found an inflated, inflatable
03:58kayak, taking up half the living room, and I said,
04:02it's a kayak, was the first time I've said the word kayak.
04:08Are you just using this as an excuse to get rid of this kayak?
04:11Yes, yes I am.
04:12Do you want to borrow my knife?
04:15Uh, Anissa?
04:17I think that the most confusing thing to hand to a stranger and walk away is a positive pregnancy test.
04:28Wouldn't it be quite clear what's going on?
04:31No, because if you're a random person going up to a stranger, you just hand them a pregnancy test.
04:35And you'd be like, oh, they're pregnant.
04:38Yeah, actually that's a good point. You just think, oh, wow, you're pregnant.
04:41I don't know why you're showing me, I'm confused about that.
04:43But you're pregnant. I'd probably just go, congratulations, what a blessing.
04:47And then you would be confused, like, why are they handing this to me?
04:49No, I'll just presume they've got mental health issues, which is a very serious issue.
04:55OK, but apparently none of these questions for the guy with the bloody knife in a bag.
04:59Look at him! Look at him!
05:03Rove, what did you bring in?
05:04It's a baby.
05:09Firstly, it would be super confusing if it was given to the person nine months after they got the pregnancy
05:14test from Anissa.
05:16When a complete stranger gives you their baby, you don't know how to react.
05:21You can't be like, ugh, dumb kayak, or, ah, bloody knife!
05:25Yeah, I had a stranger come up to me and just said, here, Rove, hold my baby.
05:30I was in a cafe, I panicked, didn't know what to do, and, and held the thing, and then, and
05:37then she asked me to sign her child.
05:41You should have known exactly what to do, you should have stared deep into its eyes and said, say hi
05:44to your mum for me.
05:48Where were you when I needed you, Taskmaster?
05:51All right, well, I should give out some scores.
05:53Yes.
05:53I'm going to give one point to Brett, because I would not find that confusing for Brett.
05:57Sorry, sorry.
05:58Then I'm going to give two points to Anissa, because again, I just think, congratulations, you're pregnant.
06:03Being given an actual baby would be a bit more confusing.
06:05Three points to Rove.
06:06OK.
06:07Four points to Celia, because, yeah.
06:11And I'm going to give five points to Joel Creasy, just because I enjoy stories about him being a drunk
06:15mess.
06:24All right, that's enough confusing items.
06:26I'm ready for some confusing tasks.
06:28What have we got first?
06:29They say a broken clock is right three times a day.
06:32Sorry, a broken clock wrote that one.
06:48Hello.
06:49How's Celia?
06:50Tom?
06:52Oh, that was bad.
06:54Hi, Rove.
06:54How are you?
06:55I'm OK.
06:55Just OK?
06:56Yep.
06:56What's wrong?
06:57Nothing.
06:58Do you need a hug?
06:58No.
06:59Okay, cool.
07:00Tiny birdhouse.
07:02Tiny cuckoo clock.
07:04For me. How do you know?
07:06I feel nervous.
07:08Am I your favourite contestant?
07:10I couldn't possibly say.
07:12Here we go.
07:13Besides this cuckoo...
07:20Beside this cuckoo, you'll find cuckoos in the bar.
07:23The stairwell.
07:24The study.
07:25And the kitchen.
07:26Fastest wins.
07:28Your time starts now.
07:30I don't know what any of that means.
07:32Am I scavenger hunting?
07:34Don't shrug.
07:38Who is your favourite contestant?
07:42Farajan.
07:43We heard that.
07:45Mine too.
07:48Okay, who's first?
07:50One's on TikTok. The other's seen clocks TikTok the most
07:53because he's old. It's Anissa and Rose.
07:55Do what the cuckoos want.
07:57Hello, cuckoo.
07:59Open up, cuckoo.
08:00Normally, a cuckoo comes out on the hour.
08:03Do I have to wait?
08:04Come out!
08:09You want me to leave?
08:11The, the.
08:12So that says the.
08:13What does that say?
08:14Oh, I have to go back.
08:15I missed the first one.
08:17Open.
08:19Hello?
08:20I'll see if there's...
08:23It said cuckoo.
08:24So far, so good.
08:25Let's keep going, shall we?
08:26It says cuckoo.
08:28That says da.
08:28Ah, waiting for cuckoos.
08:32Always the way.
08:34Cuckoo the screen.
08:36What did it say?
08:37I couldn't quite read that one.
08:39Cuckoo the screen.
08:44Cuckoo.
08:46Cuckoo.
08:47Cuckoo.
08:48Cuckoo.
08:49That says balcony.
08:51I think I know what the word is, but I want to make sure I'm absolutely correct.
08:55Cuckoo.
08:56Cuckoo.
08:56Cuckoo.
08:58I thought that's what it wanted.
08:59Cuckoo.
09:00Cuckoo.
09:01Cuckoo.
09:02Cuckoo.
09:02Cuckoo.
09:06Cuckoo.
09:06Oh, you want me to go to the balcony and scream like a cuckoo?
09:09Cuckoo.
09:10There we go.
09:11Well, see, it was off, not from.
09:13That's why you always pay attention to what the cuckoo says.
09:19Cuckoo.
09:20Cuckoo.
09:21Cuckoo.
09:23Cuckoo.
09:26Cuckoo!
09:26What a scream.
09:28That was great.
09:30Thanks, Anissa.
09:31Thanks, Tom.
09:32Thanks, Rob.
09:39Did either of you notice you'd turn the whole house into a cuckoo clock?
09:42Yeah.
09:43I got to be a bird for the first time in my life.
09:46What a dream come true.
09:48Did you notice that you'd become a giant cuckoo clock?
09:50No, I don't understand this at all.
09:53When you were on the balcony, you yelled out cuckoo.
09:56You were like the cuckoo and beneath you, beneath you was a pendulum.
10:00Like from a cuckoo clock.
10:01That's very cool.
10:02Yeah.
10:04I genuinely was thrilled, because normally for me to feel like I'm a bird, I have to do a shit
10:09on someone's car.
10:13So, what was setting them off?
10:14So every time you entered a room, a minute after that, the cuckoo went off once.
10:19Oh.
10:20Oh, right.
10:21So if you just waited long enough, it would come on.
10:22What we're interested in, though, is how long it took.
10:24That's right, its fastest wins.
10:26Anissa took 11 minutes and 3 seconds, but Rove solved it in just 7 minutes and 44 seconds.
10:31Wow.
10:32Okay.
10:34Set your cuckoo clocks to 3 or so minutes.
10:36We're taking a short break.
10:38See you soon with more hot clock action.
10:51Welcome back to Taskmaster, where five comedians are following the orders of a cuckoo clock
10:56because they've all completely lost their minds.
10:58That's right, our contestants have to get five words from five different cuckoo clocks and follow the instructions to scream
11:03cuckoo off the balcony.
11:05Okay, who are we going to watch scream cuckoo next?
11:08Next up, in the race against the clock to look at clocks, it's Brett, Celia and Joel.
11:12Fast, sterile, study, kitchen, B, S, S, K.
11:16Ah!
11:18Oh, something came out before when I was meant to read it or something.
11:22God damn it, Tom.
11:24What do cuckoos want to tell the time?
11:26They want to go,
11:27Cuckoo!
11:28Shut up!
11:31I'm awake.
11:32What?
11:33They weren't meant to wake you up.
11:35I think you're thinking of roosters.
11:37It goes cuckoo.
11:37How did I make it say that?
11:39Can I make it do it again?
11:41How did I do that?
11:44Like they'll probably come out at like different intervals.
11:50105.
11:51105.
11:52105.
11:52Okay, now that makes no sense.
11:54Ah!
11:56You sure you don't have a pen?
11:58Oh, shit.
12:01Heard something.
12:02Nah, they're going to keep going off.
12:03I need a pen.
12:04I need a pen.
12:05Hi.
12:06How are you going up there?
12:07Yeah, good.
12:08Or you say that like...
12:13What does that mean?
12:19Why are you doing that again?
12:22Is this all in my head?
12:23Cuckoo!
12:25Peek-a-boo?
12:26Come on, you coward.
12:28Show your face.
12:33What?
12:34Tom!
12:35Yep?
12:36I'm being mocked by a bunch of tiny little birds.
12:38Oh, no.
12:39One.
12:41Move, move, move, move, move, move!
12:45Oh, you!
12:47I'm just going to make this one.
12:54What do you want?
12:56Oh!
12:59Gotcha!
13:02Scream, it said on the inside.
13:04Scream!
13:05I figured out they want me to do things on their doors.
13:08Do they all say scream?
13:09Ah!
13:11That said off in there.
13:13Off?
13:14What the f*** is off?
13:23The.
13:24The.
13:25The.
13:26The.
13:27The.
13:27The.
13:28Cuckoo the scream.
13:30Scream at the cuckoo.
13:32Ah!
13:32I feel like I'm making all of this up and I'm going crazy.
13:35I want to do what you want, okay?
13:37But it's called communication.
13:38You need to tell me what you want.
13:46Balcony.
13:47Okay.
13:48Cuckoo.
13:49Yep.
13:51Scream.
13:52Off.
13:53The.
13:54And one says balcony.
13:54Put a cuckoo scream off the balcony.
13:59Is this outside?
14:01Yay!
14:03I hate cuckoos!
14:07Cuckoo!
14:08Cuckoo!
14:09Cuckoo!
14:10Cuckoo!
14:10Woo!
14:12Yes!
14:14You wake up.
14:15See ya.
14:16It was fun.
14:17That task really annoyed me.
14:24I feel like all three of you did that beautiful thing that we love on Taskmaster where you made
14:29an easy task seem difficult.
14:31So, Brett, what were you thinking was triggering the cuckoo clocks?
14:35I thought it had something to do with the hands and time, like the Da Vinci Code or something,
14:41and then I realised I hadn't seen that film either, and then I started frantically running to every room,
14:47but I didn't realise it was a minute would set it off.
14:49Sounds more like the clocks were triggering Brett.
14:53So, Celia, screaming didn't work.
14:55No.
14:56So, why'd you do it 15 times?
14:59Because that was the only word I got for a long time.
15:03But you did that typical Celia thing where you love puzzles.
15:06Yeah.
15:06But you're either great at them or that.
15:09I know.
15:09I was just begging them.
15:10I was so desperate by the end.
15:12I'm like, just tell me what you want.
15:13Come on.
15:13Is it money?
15:14What do you want?
15:15Now, Joel, what did you think was happening?
15:18I had no idea.
15:20I just found out.
15:21I just ran around like a madman and think I nailed it.
15:27Okay.
15:27Well, I feel like we need some scores there.
15:29Joel took 15 minutes and 43 seconds.
15:31Oh, that's quite good.
15:33Celia was 20 seconds faster, 15 minutes and 23 seconds.
15:37And Brett took 9 minutes and 9 seconds.
15:39That's alright.
15:40Really?
15:42So that means one point to Joel, two to Celia, three to Anissa, four to Brett.
15:46But Rove, the fastest time, not to mention having definitely the most vigorous cuckoo.
15:50Five points!
15:51Cuckoo!
15:51For Cass!
15:54What about the episode scores?
15:55Where are they at?
15:56There's pretty close stuff happening.
15:57We've got Anissa and Brett both on five.
15:58But Rove's in the lead with eight points.
16:02All right.
16:03Hit me with another task, Lester Tom.
16:05Think the pyramids of Geezer for this next one.
16:07Only it's the pyramid of this Geezer.
16:22Hello, Tom.
16:23Hi, Tom.
16:24Hi, Brett.
16:24Hi, Celia.
16:25Hi, Joel.
16:25Tom!
16:27Hi, Rove.
16:27Hi, Anissa.
16:28You never match my energy, dude.
16:30I don't appreciate this angle, Tom.
16:32I'm going to be doing this task like this.
16:35Oh, I apologize.
16:35Yeah, let's do it.
16:37It's Jesus, right?
16:39Yeah.
16:40That's how I've always pictured Jesus.
16:43Build the most monumental monument to the Taskmaster.
16:49Your entire team must physically be part of the monument.
16:54Most monumental monument wins.
16:56We have 15 minutes.
16:57I guess our time starts, uh, now.
17:00Now.
17:01A monument.
17:01A monumental monument.
17:03Correct.
17:04What makes you think monumental?
17:05Can we take one of the paintings down of him on the wall and put that on the top?
17:10Oh, that'd be great.
17:10Oh, like that big one?
17:11Yeah.
17:11Maybe let's just find all of the big stuff we can build with.
17:14And put it here.
17:14And then we could put a bunch of shit around it.
17:17A bunch of shit!
17:18Yeah.
17:19If you look in the shed, and I'm going to look inside.
17:27Oh, I'll get the big painting.
17:30Oh, I'll go in the shed.
17:32It's somehow.
17:32Oh, gosh.
17:33When I think monument.
17:36Yeah.
17:36Oh, my gosh.
17:37Usually it'll be in.
17:39In.
17:39Are you okay?
17:40Are you stuck?
17:40Oh, I just, uh, I just got a little, I need to change my pad.
17:45Oh.
17:45Yeah, yeah, I need to change my pad.
17:46Do you mind just building the thing and I will be back?
17:50I'll be back and you'll let me know.
17:52Okay.
17:52Is that okay?
17:53Just build the thing around it and I will join.
17:55I will build the thing around this?
17:56I'll be back.
17:56I'll be back.
17:57Do you want us to stop?
17:58No, just keep going.
17:59Keep going.
17:59If you can.
18:01Don't let me down, Rolf.
18:02Got it.
18:08No.
18:18Camera.
18:21Hide from your teammates sometime during the next task.
18:26If you remain hidden from your teammate longer than the hiders in the other team,
18:31your points and the next task will be doubled.
18:35I've been hiding from immigration for 20 years.
18:37I can do this.
18:38What?
18:39Your team?
18:39Don't worry.
18:40If your teammate finds you or suspects you are intentionally hiding from him,
18:45your team will be disqualified from the next task.
18:47So we have to do it for the greater good because I don't want to be a grass.
18:51I'm not a snitch.
18:52So it's benefiting the team.
18:53I'm gonna lie to him.
18:55What are you gonna say?
18:56Oh my God.
18:58I have my period.
18:59I gotta go.
19:00That's the truth.
19:01That's not a lie then.
19:04I'm gonna tell him the truth.
19:11Alright.
19:13Some dirty tricks are in play.
19:16So Rove, how relieved are you now?
19:18Yeah, it was an interesting moment.
19:20That's for sure.
19:21My first thought was, oh, I appreciate and respect Anissa's openness and honesty to say that.
19:30And then also my complete and utter disrespect for the crew who went, just keep filming.
19:34Just keep filming.
19:39Oh, should we?
19:41The idea came to you pretty quickly.
19:43Yes, because I knew he would be disgusted and I was right.
19:47And he would be too disgusted and uncomfortable and respectful to ask further questions.
19:53Are you ready for this though?
19:54Because when you get back home from your Taskmaster experience, usually your loved ones will ask
20:00you how it went and you're running through some of them without wanting to spoil too much.
20:03And I didn't say, there was one!
20:09And Anissa said to me, openly in front of a crew, that she needed to go and change a pad.
20:18And my wife tells me, God love her.
20:20She just went, well, that's the new generation.
20:22They should be.
20:27All right, just to be clear, we still have to have the monumental monuments.
20:31That task is still ongoing.
20:33Who's going first?
20:34Is it the breakfast show or the drive show?
20:36I think we're going to watch breakfast and drive at the same time.
20:39So call it brunch.
20:40It's Anissa, Brett, Celia, Joel and Rove.
20:43Wait, wait, wait, wait.
20:44We've got to hide from it.
20:46I'm confused.
20:47There's not even a camera here.
20:49Yes, there is.
20:50Oh, yeah, there's a camera.
20:55Everything's good.
20:57Everything's going great.
21:01I've learned a lot today.
21:08If we stay too long, he's going to figure out we're hiding.
21:12Do you like Halloween?
21:14Yeah.
21:14What do you dress up as?
21:16I just dress up as a normal bloke.
21:18That must be a stretch for you.
21:20I won't do too much in case we do need to stop.
21:26I hate lying.
21:28What's our lie going to be?
21:29Will we go back out then?
21:30I don't know.
21:31Just say we're finding stuff.
21:32He's tying ropes.
21:33He'll take ages.
21:40No one's going to believe that I'm making love for that long.
21:45Tom, how am I going for time?
21:47Six minutes and thirty seconds later.
21:48Heaps of time.
21:50One more minute.
21:50One more minute.
21:51One more minute.
21:54I didn't want that pumpkin there anyway.
21:56When Anissa comes back, which may or may not be in this season, I know she'll walk straight in and
22:03go, that says Taskmaster Tom.
22:06Yeah, go.
22:07Okay.
22:07You go.
22:09We got some big stuff.
22:11Oh.
22:11I'm so embarrassed.
22:13Look, Anissa, let me.
22:14This is magnificent.
22:16Pause.
22:16How are you by the way?
22:17Good.
22:18All good?
22:18Thank you so much.
22:19Okay.
22:20I'm so glad that you...
22:24I don't know how we're covering this.
22:26How do I touch this?
22:27And can you bring the green rope over slightly?
22:29Yeah, like there.
22:30There?
22:35You okay?
22:37Yeah.
22:39I'm going to run you through about what makes Taskmaster Tom so monumental that we have built this monument to
22:45him.
22:46What happened?
22:46What have you done?
22:47Half his legs fell off.
22:49Jesus Christ.
22:50Yeah, but it could be like a weird art house thing.
22:52Yeah.
22:53He's won a gold Logie, like an award.
22:56He's powerful.
22:56He lives out in the sticks because he lives quite far away.
22:59His humour is bang on target.
23:03Alright, what if we do a human pyramid in front of it?
23:05Will that help?
23:06Alright.
23:06You okay?
23:07Yeah.
23:08All praise.
23:10Hail Tom, the Taskmaster.
23:13And we'll pose for a photo.
23:16Monumentally.
23:19Thanks, Tom.
23:20Great.
23:21Great team.
23:22Thanks, Celia.
23:22Thanks, Brett.
23:23Thanks, Joel.
23:28So, Rope, you had no idea about, you know, Anissa?
23:32No, no, not at all.
23:33It made absolute sense.
23:35I'm not going to say keep going.
23:37The crew apparently think otherwise.
23:41Can I add one last final button on this?
23:44When we've gone back to our dressing room, I sent one text message to Tom Cashman.
23:50Yeah.
23:50That was just an emoji face of this.
23:59It'll cut up fine.
24:05Brilliant.
24:06Bloody brilliant.
24:08Rope, I would say you did perfectly right up until the point where you were texting another
24:13man about a woman's period.
24:16Alright.
24:17So, Celia, how do you feel you went?
24:19Well, first of all, this was like having a bogan toddler.
24:22I swear to God.
24:23Like, I try.
24:24Like, I feel very muddly towards you.
24:25But sometimes, like, yes, Brett, come with me.
24:27Take that out of your mouth.
24:28No, what we're doing.
24:30God damn it.
24:31Listen to me.
24:31This is the camera.
24:32We need to hide.
24:32And then, because I didn't realise Double Crossing, Never Seen The Show, was a part of
24:37the show, I thought then I was getting triple crossed and somehow you were against me.
24:43And then I, I remember I wrote you a note saying everyone's trying to me over.
24:47And I handed you a note.
24:48And I got paranoid.
24:50And I've been thinking about it for so long.
24:52Yeah.
24:53I'd forgotten about that.
24:54Yeah, I handed you a note saying they're all trying to mess with me and I've won this task.
24:58I was triple crossing those knots.
25:01That's what I thought I was doing.
25:03But Joel, did you even notice they were gone?
25:06No.
25:08Well, I feel like we need to know how long they were hiding for now.
25:11Yes.
25:11Brett and Celia hid for four minutes and five seconds in total out of the 15.
25:17And these are hid for more than double that, 10 minutes and 15 seconds.
25:24Yes.
25:26Very good.
25:27OK.
25:27Well, now I have to judge these monuments pretty much, don't I?
25:30So I have to decide.
25:31I have to allocate some points.
25:33OK.
25:34So we've got The Breakfast Show on the left and The Drive Show on the right.
25:37Brett, Joel and Celia driving you home.
25:40Driving you crazy.
25:43Oh, Joel.
25:45Stop it.
25:46I must admit, I prefer The Breakfast Show's one because Rove explained what it means.
25:50Whereas the one on the right, it just kind of looks like council cleaner.
25:55Or art, whatever you want to call it, yeah.
25:58Alright, so I'm going to give Breakfast Show 55, Drive Show 333.
26:01OK.
26:05And you know what that means?
26:06That means 10, 10, 333.
26:0910 points to Anissa and Rove.
26:10Oh, great.
26:11Whoa!
26:14OK, I think it's my turn to do something.
26:17I'm going to hide behind some unskippable ads.
26:20See you after this.
26:32Welcome back to Taskmaster, the only show where you can win a live human baby that isn't on the dark
26:38web.
26:39What task have you got next, Tom?
26:41We have one that goes like this.
26:58Oh my god.
27:01Look at this.
27:03Electronic.
27:04Beautiful.
27:06This feels right.
27:08I would like this to be my entrance for all the tasks from now on, please.
27:11You catered.
27:12Yum.
27:13Is it good to eat?
27:14No, they're all extremely old.
27:15And I would advise you not to eat any of them.
27:22No, what?
27:23Make and star in a moving two-character film on this escalator.
27:28One character may only travel up and the other character may only travel down.
27:34Your film must be in the genre written on the bottom of your chosen popcorn carton.
27:38Most moving film wins.
27:40I get it.
27:41That's double meaning.
27:42That's very clever.
27:42What are the meanings?
27:43Moving.
27:44And moving.
27:45Oh.
27:46You have 30 minutes to plan and 15 minutes to shoot your film.
27:50Your time starts now.
27:53I choose this one.
27:57There's f***ing nothing under there.
27:59Do I have to check it out?
28:00I feel like I'm going to make a big mess.
28:03Western.
28:05Get in!
28:07Science fiction.
28:09Rom-com.
28:10Musical.
28:11Happy with that.
28:12Thrilled.
28:13Courtroom drama.
28:14So it needs to have like a climax.
28:17Climax.
28:20Okay.
28:23So essentially they have to make a film using the escalators.
28:26And just to recap, Rove's got a western.
28:28Seelie's got a science fiction film.
28:29Brett's got a rom-com.
28:30Joel's got a musical.
28:32And Anissa has a courtroom drama.
28:34That's correct.
28:34Alright, who's first?
28:35First up to escalate the situation with a courtroom drama.
28:38It's Anissa Nandola.
28:42Your Honour.
28:42I contend that Anissa here is the mother of my child.
28:45And hasn't paid me child support for one full year.
28:48You're a hoe.
28:48I don't know that baby.
28:49It is her baby.
28:50Look at this beautiful photo.
28:52Look at his beautiful eyes.
29:08So you agree, you'll pay me $1,200 per fortnight.
29:12That baby's Indian.
29:14Not mine.
29:22So, Lessa, Tom, did you put on make-up for that photo?
29:25I would love to clarify that that's an AI-generated morphing of our two faces, not just me.
29:31No, it's not.
29:31Yes, it is.
29:32I thought it was a very good courtroom drama, though, Anissa.
29:34Yay!
29:35It was very dramatic, but then at the very end, you seem pretty blasé about the whole thing.
29:40Well, that's what makes it dramatic.
29:41It has twists and turns, and you don't know where it's going.
29:48I'd watch the next episode.
29:51All right, whose short film are we watching next?
29:53Now it's time for a rom-com by the most romantic man I know.
29:57For the purposes of this intro, I only know one man.
30:00It's Brett Blake.
30:05CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
30:23I think that worked!
30:31Brett, I don't think this is a compliment, but you have been one of the most destructive
30:34presences we've ever had on Taskmaster.
30:37I'm taking it as a compliment.
30:38You didn't think about doing another take?
30:41Nah, I thought that was good.
30:43You did say in an earlier episode that you had never seen Taskmaster.
30:47No.
30:47And you're just going to treat this whole thing as jackass.
30:49Yes.
30:50Do you think that was more up the jackass end of the spectrum?
30:52No, I think that was romantic.
30:54Yeah, I think, yeah.
30:56We had two men kissing.
30:57That's romantic, isn't it?
30:58We were dogs.
30:59What?
31:00We were dogs?
31:01We were dogs.
31:02Were we?
31:03Why are you asking the question?
31:05I don't remember.
31:07I haven't seen Lady of the Tramp either.
31:08Who gives a shit?
31:10Where did the idea come from if you haven't seen the movie?
31:12Do you know what's really weird about this?
31:14It's not the first time you've done that reference in this series.
31:18You and Cashman both drank out of the same croc as a tribute to that film you just did another
31:23tribute of.
31:25You've done two tributes to a film you've never seen in a show you've never watched.
31:31Maybe I have seen it.
31:33Well, it's a bad day to be a cardboard mat outside a train station in the 80s because it's breaking
31:39time.
31:51Welcome back to Taskmaster.
31:52Who will win a recipe for lasagna and a knife covered in blood to cut it with?
31:57We'll find out by watching some moving films, right, Cashman?
32:00That's right.
32:01Our contestants are trying to make the most moving short film with one character moving up an escalator and the
32:05other moving down.
32:06All right.
32:07Who's next?
32:07I sure hope this town is big enough for two Rove McManusers.
32:10Here's a Western from Rove McManus and Rove McManus.
32:17Well, high noon.
32:19More like low noon.
32:21Do you know why we're here?
32:24Well, then, draw.
32:31Well, you're not so highfalutin' after all.
32:34You're not beneath me.
32:36Well, let's just meet in the middle.
32:38I love you, man.
32:49Wee-haw!
32:51Considering you had a TV show called Rove, hosted by Rove about Rove, have you been wanting to kiss yourself
32:56for a while?
32:56Mate, you don't know how many times I've had that in my head.
33:01I realise now there was another human being on location.
33:04Well, I don't know.
33:05I feel like not using Cashman in the film improves it.
33:09Yeah.
33:10I just, yeah, I couldn't believe that he would commit to the role and I wasn't going to kiss that
33:14face.
33:15Come on.
33:16I have an issue, though, with your genre, because I think what happened was you got so excited by a
33:20joke, you flipped the genre of your film.
33:22Because you're like, oh, Western, I'll do a gunfight and I'll draw, oh, I'll draw, I'll draw a heart, whoops,
33:28rom-com.
33:31There's nothing comedic about two men falling in love, Tom.
33:34No, I know.
33:35That's my shtick, off-rive.
33:40OK, another, please.
33:43She's made an elevated science fiction, though not on an elevator.
33:45That would be a grave violation of the rules.
33:48It's Celia Pukola.
33:56It worked.
33:57There's still time.
33:59Where am I?
34:03Celia!
34:05What?
34:05Don't panic.
34:06I'm you from the future.
34:07I don't have much time to explain.
34:08I need to tell you, your asteroid experimental work is going to backfire.
34:12No way.
34:13You are going to draw 800 asteroids directly to the planet Earth, wiping out 95% of life on the
34:17planet.
34:17What am I supposed to do?
34:18Aliens will come and fight the remaining civilians.
34:21You must not do the experiment.
34:22I mean...
34:23Save the world.
34:24Save your family.
34:25Save the life.
34:25Yep.
34:26You can do it.
34:29OK.
34:30Well, I better go.
34:31I'm just getting to work.
34:32Yeah, I've got a big experiment today.
34:33I can't wait.
34:33Talk to you later.
34:42That was amazing.
34:44That was amazing.
34:46That was brilliant.
34:47I mean, you could have written that and put it in TrotFest.
34:50It would have won bloody TrotFest.
34:54Great performances.
34:56Well written.
34:57I was an absolute pig in shit, as someone will know.
34:59As soon as I saw science fiction, I am a big Doctor Who fan, as you all know, and I'm
35:03like,
35:03look, I'm doing a, I know, I know the audience, yeah, I know.
35:06But also you had to script your other parts so that you were saying stuff that was ambiguous
35:11that could be used on a phone call, but also seems like you were listening.
35:14I'm a genius.
35:15I know.
35:17That was incredible.
35:18See?
35:18When you're not in the films, they're so much better.
35:22Till we got left, Lesser Talk.
35:23He loves musicals, so he'll be hoping this effort won't be miserables.
35:28It's, it's Joel Creasy.
35:31Oh no, I'm sad and I suck and I'm a virgin and I'm a loser and I'm poor.
35:35Also, I'm allergic to bananas.
35:37I'm a successful supermodel and everybody loves me, but my life has always been tricky
35:43because I've been allergic to bananas.
35:46I can't eat banana-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na
35:53-na.
35:53I hope these shops have one of those magical bucket hats that cures banana allergies.
35:57I'm so glad I got the last bucket hat.
35:59It's la-la-la-la, la-la-la, it's la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la.
36:06Wow.
36:07Despite all odds, my webbed feet and my prolapsed anus, I've just discovered my own magical bucket
36:13hat.
36:13He can now eat a banana-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na
36:18-na-na-na-na.
36:18Oh, Tom, would you like banana, buddy?
36:20Banana-na-na-na. Enjoy that banana, Tom.
36:24Oh, no, Tom.
36:26I've just read the buckets.
36:28They're cheap international knockoffs.
36:30It's buckets built with two Cs.
36:32Oh, my God.
36:34First I have a prolapsed anus and four nipples,
36:36and now I'm dying?
36:38Me too, because I had a banana earlier.
36:41Oh, I'm dying.
36:43I'm dying.
36:48Lucky this is a musical and it has a happy ending.
36:51I may have failed school and have never kissed a girl,
36:54but I do agree, Joel.
36:56Escalala, la-la-la-la,
36:58Escalala, la-la-la-la-la-la,
37:01Escalala, la-la-la,
37:03Escalala, la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la.
37:05CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
37:12So, Joel,
37:13controversial, you put Cashman back in the film.
37:16As we've discussed, that can be a disadvantage,
37:18but you know what?
37:19I bloody loved it.
37:20It was good silly fun.
37:21That was all my scripting.
37:23Yeah.
37:25Like Celia, Joel wrote this just in the 30 minutes.
37:28Oh, OK.
37:29It's amazing how this brain works.
37:31Yeah, and so you wrote all that stuff,
37:32and often writers draw upon their own lives,
37:34so is that where you got the idea for the prolapsed anus?
37:37LAUGHTER
37:39LAUGHTER
37:44I'm a top, Tom.
37:46LAUGHTER
37:48APPLAUSE
37:51All right, well, I'd better allocate some points.
37:52Yeah.
37:53OK, well, I wasn't moved by Rogues
37:55because I feel like it's switched genres.
37:57OK.
37:57So, one point to Rove.
37:58I wasn't as moved by Brett
37:59because it was a bit of a debacle.
38:02But it was very funny, so two points.
38:03Three points for the courtroom drama.
38:06OK.
38:06For Anissa.
38:07Four points to Joel,
38:08because it was just good silly fun.
38:10Oh, thanks.
38:10But five points to the perfect short film by Celia Popola.
38:15APPLAUSE
38:19OK.
38:20The God of Capitalism demands another sacrifice.
38:22See you after this.
38:34Welcome back to Taskmaster Australia.
38:36Competition is heating up.
38:38Lesser Tom, what are the scores for the episode so far?
38:40So we've got Brett in fifth place on ten points,
38:42but Rove's out in front by just one point with 19 points.
38:45CHEERING
38:47Jingoes, we're running out of time.
38:48Get to the stage for the final task of the show.
38:50Off you go.
38:51CHEERING
38:55All right, who's going to read the live task, Lesser Tom?
38:58Rove.
38:59Oh, that explains this.
39:03If you are the mole, shift suspicion.
39:07If you are not the mole, help identify them.
39:10Tom Cashman will assign one player to be the mole.
39:14Each round, while everyone else is blindfolded,
39:17the mole must place the bunny ears on a player's head.
39:20After placement, the Taskmaster will quiz all players,
39:24then make an accusation.
39:26If the Taskmaster is correct, the task is over.
39:30If the Taskmaster is incorrect, the mole gets to go again.
39:35The mole begins on one point, but gains two points each extra round.
39:40Everyone else begins on five points, but loses one point each extra round.
39:47When the mole is placing ears, all players must be silent.
39:55Your time begins on Tom's whistle.
39:58Yeah, good luck, bro.
39:59I didn't understand any of that.
40:00So you're all going to put the blindfolds on.
40:03Only one of you, I'm going to come up and I'm going to tap you and I'm going to give
40:06you these.
40:07And then you're the mole.
40:08And then only that person is going to take their blindfold off sneakily.
40:12And then they've got to put these on one of the contestants' head.
40:15And then they're going to go back to their spot.
40:18The Taskmaster is going to turn around and he's going to ask all of you one question.
40:21Okay, so blindfolds on now.
40:23I don't know.
40:24No moving.
40:25No moving.
40:26No noise.
40:27I'd ask the Taskmaster to look away, please.
40:29I will avert my gaze.
40:31This is f***ing cheaper than the parking lot.
40:34No talking.
40:54The mole has placed the bunny ears.
40:58Please take your blindfolds off.
41:01Anissa, did you just pretend to pick up the bunny ears and put them on your head?
41:05No, I heard the footsteps.
41:07It wasn't bl-
41:07Bl-
41:08Brett?
41:09Sorry.
41:12It's who gives a s***.
41:14It wasn't you.
41:15It sounded like the footsteps were coming from quite a distance away when they came to me.
41:18The second thing is they put them on me with a gentleness.
41:23That I don't know who has that kind of gentleness.
41:26It was very gentle.
41:28Okay, so Brett.
41:29Would you like me to explain this game to you?
41:33Do you know what's going on?
41:34No.
41:36Okay.
41:37Celia.
41:38Yep.
41:39Do you have a gentle touch?
41:41I would say yes.
41:43With my daughter, I'd say an occasional gentle touch, yes.
41:47Okay.
41:47Joel, do you feel like-
41:48Hello, Tom.
41:49Do you feel like a winner?
41:52Um, I did until I signed on to this show.
41:58Uh, Rove, did you enjoy sneaking around?
42:02I'm not a sneaky type of person, Tom.
42:05You know me.
42:06Okay.
42:06Taskmaster, please accuse one of these contestants.
42:10Um, I think it's Rove.
42:12That is incorrect.
42:14Damn it!
42:15Damn it!
42:16Please avert your eyes once more, Taskmaster.
42:18We're doing another round.
42:19I think it's Rove.
42:39I think it's Rove.
42:39I think it's Rove.
42:41I think it's Rove.
42:42I think it's Rove.
42:43I think it's Rove.
42:43I think it's Rove.
42:46I think it's Rove.
42:48The goal has placed the years.
42:50Okay.
42:54What's everyone looking at me for?
42:57Anissa, did you enjoy sneaking around?
42:59No, it wasn't me. I'm quite...
43:02I'm really upset that I misled you the first time.
43:05Okay. Can I skip Brett?
43:10Celia, did you enjoy sneaking around?
43:12No. I abhor sneaking in all its forms.
43:15It's sort of weird though. I was listening to a crowd that was laughing at physical comedy
43:19and it felt like your physical comedy.
43:21I do physical comedy?
43:23And now I'm hearing a laughter that you get when people laugh
43:26because something's so funny because it's true.
43:29Can I ask you a question?
43:30Do you feel like embarrassing yourself again?
43:37Just saying.
43:39Okay. Joel.
43:40Yeah?
43:41Do you understand the game?
43:43Yes, absolutely.
43:44I used to love The Mole growing up.
43:46You know, remember the TV show The Mole?
43:48But I used to think when the red thumbprint came up,
43:50that meant they were getting killed.
43:51Okay.
43:52Well, I know you're not The Mole.
43:53Can I offer some sort of insight?
43:54I felt, as you have already suggested,
43:57a very distinct, almost comical sneak.
44:03Yeah.
44:03We've heard from the five contestants.
44:06Yeah, let's do it!
44:07Yeah!
44:08Okay, but I'm going to guess.
44:09I think that Celia is The Mole.
44:11That is a successful accusation.
44:13Oh!
44:13I knew it!
44:14I knew it!
44:15Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
44:17I'll get you next time!
44:19All right.
44:19Thank God for that.
44:20Come down here.
44:21We'll have a few ads.
44:23We'll see you after this.
44:33Welcome back to our Taskmaster Wind in the Willows episode
44:37with Celia playing The Mole.
44:39I don't know any other characters
44:41and I couldn't be bothered looking them up.
44:42Rat.
44:43Whatever.
44:44Cashman, time to score.
44:46Well, Celia started on one point
44:47and the non-moles started on five.
44:49Celia tricked you once, so she gained two points.
44:52Up to three.
44:53Everyone else lost one.
44:54So that means Celia gets three points for that task
44:56and Anissa, Brett, Joel and Rove all get four points.
45:00It seems unfair for the hardest, hardest job.
45:03How did Brett get a point?
45:04How did I get a point?
45:05I still didn't understand the game.
45:06That rules.
45:07I love this show.
45:08I might watch it.
45:10Okay, so what does that do to the series score?
45:13Well, we have a new series leader for the first time.
45:18Joel is in last place with 83 points.
45:21Brett is on 110, but Rove's in the lead.
45:23What?
45:24113 points.
45:25Yes!
45:29And so who won the episode?
45:30Well, we had Brett with 14 points.
45:33But by one point, Rove's done it.
45:3523 points.
45:35He's the winner.
45:38Congratulations, Rove.
45:40Please head on up to the stage to collect your five confusing items.
45:44Thanks, Taskmaster.
45:44Up you go.
45:47Well, there we go.
45:49Like Anissa's courtroom, there's been some shock revelations we've witnessed.
45:52We witnessed them all go into species by cuckooing like a pack of galahs.
45:58Rove didn't witness Anissa for at least 10 minutes and for good reason.
46:02And Broadway witnessed the birth of a new classic in the form of Escalala, la, la, la, la.
46:11For a second time this season, we've also witnessed a big win from Rove.
46:15Congratulations.
46:16Goodnight.
46:18Yeah!
46:29Yeah!
46:30Yeah!
46:33Yeah!
46:34Yeah!
46:35Sport!
46:36Woo!
46:37Somebody please stop us!
46:39Yabba yabba yabba yabba.
46:41Om nom nom nom nom nom nom nom nom.
46:42Did you just mansplain tongs to me?
46:44Give me one point, I don't give a shit.
46:46Yeah, I'm so sorry for bringing down the quality of this TV show that I'll never watch.
