Taskmaster: Season 5, Episode 8 Their Water's So Delicious

It's still awkward for the person who's taking it nobody has to see it

The prompt wasn't the most awkward item though, it was the most awkward thing to take home. Anything small enough to hide in a bag isn't going to be awkward to take home no matter what it is, because no one would see it.

Oh, it's Bob without a doubt. If this is the first appearance of the song, it's possible he made it up on the spot (making them even more deserving to win)!

Z is for Zed

I will add that to my list 👍

Good call Z. Yeah, I guess that too but "[insert noun] is a fucking nightmare" is just sooo Bob. I hope I'm not discrediting Aisling or Sally. It might explain the impecable harmony if Sally brought it to the task though. I don't know what to think now.

Looks like that episode of Athletico Mince (57) is from 2018 and this series is from 2017, so I guess he recycled it for that from this?

Z is for Zed

Sweet vindication! I love you too for that jeffrey44

I second Ghosts, good show

Ben

Noel's House Party should come first since it's an unofficial prequel to Ghosts.

OMG, you guys. This Alex Edwards gonk is right! I thought he was high or a mentalist but Bob Mortimer really has done that tune with alternative lyrics. Look, you can hear it here. https://youtu.be/zJDbyk2wWQ0. I LOVE YOU ALEX EDWARDS. ♿🔭

Would it be ok to request Ghosts to add to the show list please? It has 20 episodes over 3 seasons(so far)(I believe it is still ongoing) Thanks!!

Forgot to say: I think Aisling, Bob and Sally's tune should have won and here's why: it's obvious both teams took a tune they already knew and put new words to it. (And that's the right thing to do. There's no chance of writing a completely new song in half an hour.) I think it's clear that Mark and Nish's tune was one that Nish knew and adapted. Mark just played drums. I'm pretty sure I've heard the other team's tune on Athletico Mince ("Sunderland's a Fucking Nightmare" IIRC). If so then that was Bob's tune and the harmony Sally did was original. To me, that is really impressive. One of the most impressive things in any task in any series. But Bob won the series and Sally the episode anyway so it wouldn't have changed anything.

Alex Edwards

Totally agree with your conclusions Josh. It was a great series. One person can make a series good but Sally and Bob made it great. Series 7 is another great one for the same reason. I'm looking forward to that but series 6 is really good too.

Alex Edwards

Agreed 👍

The sing was great and this episode was really fun.

After Work Reactions

Yes definitely... Makes the most sense.

Another vote for the 2 Champion of Champions episodes before the next poll, or to include them in the poll at least, when I'm sure people will vote for them

Brilliant, both songs were great but I do agree that Nish and Mark should have won. All of them seemed to get on so well too, it was really nice :) The passion when Bob sang 'Rosalind's a fucking nightmare' 😆 you can't help but love Bob lol. It's a shame you can't react to his stuff anymore, Josh. The Mr Shakamoto reaction you did was one of my favourites :D Like the others have said, I hope you'll do the Champion of Champions before you do a poll to round off the first 5 series! :)

Song was epic :D

TheHigh

I was thinking along the same lines as you with the most awkward item I was expecting somebody to bring their underwear in or something awkward in that sense.

Josh, I definitely recommend just watching the Champion of Champions specials before setting up a new poll, it's just two episodes and it's the culmination of the first 5 seasons. That will also bring season 5 up to ten episodes, and each season from now on will be ten episodes, so it makes sense! If you don't go ahead and watch them now there is a worry you won't get to them, because they won't be voted in individually.

Ben

I’d say carry on and watch the two Champion of Champions specials next before putting up another poll

Haven’t seen this episode before apart from the song, with the coconut my first thought was to give it to Alex and get him to take a bus as far away as possible in the time allowed. I’ve not stepped anywhere then but the coconut has travelled pretty far away Edit: Sally’s idea was even better
