Good evening! My name is Louis Morissette,
and I am the Taskmaster.
Over the past few weeks, I have devised a series of tasks
for five beloved comedians to complete.
Together, we'll discover what they did, and how they did it.
Yuck!
As the Taskmaster, I'll hand out points
to the most deserving contestants
based on highly subjective and ambiguous criteria.
The winner of the season will take home
the greatest prize in television history:
a replica of my head... in gold!
[Episode title: The TEAM]
Good evening!
So, every game show needs contestants.
Here are the comedians who were available this year:
Mona de Grenoble!
Hello!
Kevin Raphael!
Philippe Roy!
Tammy Verge!
And Marie-Lyne Joncas!
After Antoine Bertrand, [French-Canadian film/TV actor]
Antoine Gratton, [French-Canadian singer-songwriter]
and Antoine Pilon, [French-Canadian film/TV actor]
he's my favourite Antoine:
Antoine Vézina!
Thank you, Louis-José. Wow! [Louis-José Houde - French-Canadian actor/comedian]
That... That breaks my... That was mean.
So, I'm very much looking forward
to seeing tonight's tasks,
but before that, I'd like to know
what our contestants will be playing for.
Our contestants, as usual, each brought in an item
that will make up our prize haul tonight.
The items had to respect a theme,
and tonight, that theme is:
The best hairy thing.
You'll have to score them, too.
What you have under your costume, Mona?
Yes! - That's a good start.
Unfortunately, I couldn't remove my scrotum,
so I brought something else in.
Sorry. That was crass. - No worries.
I am speechless.
Let's first have a look at Kevin's item.
Yes.
Best hairy thing.
Ew! What's that?
What is that? - No.
It's my dog Théo's fur! - What?
Shout out to Théo!
Do you think that he's going to react to that at home?
Oh, he's gonna go nuts. But, yo, wait.
Well, you need to make some noise in here, too.
You're slow.
Right now, a bunch of dogs in a bunch of
homes in Quebec are going...
And a bunch of dog owners are going, "Fucking hell!"
Thanks, Kevin.
Let's have a look at Mona's item.
Yes!
Oh, yes!
It's not as nice as the one you're wearing, though.
No, but this is a wig.
I used to pretend to be Édith Butler in it. [Acadian-Canadian singer-songwriter]
I sang, "Paquetville" about 402 times in that wig. [one of Édith Butler's songs]
I'm not even kidding.
So this wig gigged hard for many an evening.
Let's have a look at Phil's item.
So, I...
Marie-Lyne didn't want this photo.
[During the last episode] This is my daughter at daycare.
The person who was supposed to dress up as Santa Claus
didn't show up.
And so the daycare owner Ikram's dad...
Oh, that's dumb!
And I made a mistake at the time.
I said it was Ikram's father.
Yes.
It wasn't. It was Salvador, the janitor,
who graciously dressed up and terrified my daughter.
So, Salvador; thanks so much. - Thank you, Phil; thank you, Salvador.
Thank you very much.
That's quite hairy.
That's hilarious, man.
It's really good!
Marie-Lyne, what have you brought in?
Yes.
My god! Oh, come on!
So, no, I... Listen, I hunted this down.
It was pretty difficult.
I had to call up the owner of the item in question.
This is Patrick Norman's wig [French-Canadian country musician]
that he wears over his bald head under his bandana.
Oh come on!
No, no, no. Impossible.
I swear. It's this one.
How would you have gone about asking Patrick Norman for this?
Yes!
What?
You said you were going to show this on an idiotic game show?
Well... It involved a lot of sexual stuff.
Ah, I'm starting to believe you.
We can't accept... - Hey, that's exactly
how Salvador gave me the rights to that photo!
Lots of sexual favours; some mopping.
Speaking of sexual stuff... - Let's check in with Tammy.
Ah, good!
Oh, Jesus... Oh, Jesus...
It's... it's...
It's the best hairy thing.
His entire body looks like this.
Really? - Yes, yes, yes!
The hair is really long.
Well, that's kinda sexy, Antoine.
Sorry? - I find that kinda sexy.
Yes, it's soft. It's soft, and it smells good.
It holds on to smells.
I don't know if any of you have hairy folks in your entourage?
It stinks real good! Ah, it stinks real good!
You can smell me later. We'll have a...
Oh, really; really!
But it's the best hairy thing. - Of course!
Aw, you're very sweet.
Well, I think we have a winner, Louis?
Well, clearly.
We have a winner. - Of the whole season!
5 points for Tammy.
Love wins!
4 points for Phil. - Yes!
4 points for Phil. - But he just re-used a photo!
3 points for Mona. - 3 points for Mona.
2 points for Kevin. - 2 points.
And I didn't buy your story about Patrick Norman.
Do you have his phone number?
Are you ready for the first real task of the evening?
Yes! My god, I'm so excited.
It's a team task.
And a captivating one.
Come on. He doesn't want to.
He doesn't feel like it.
I have to force him, eh?
Of course; sometimes.
He's not very motivated.
Welcome.
Thank you.
Can I open this?
Go ahead.
Can you be the team captain?
Yes, absolutely. I'm the project leader.
"Your time starts now."
Fuck off... Kevin, start looking.
Look, look, look.
"Your time starts now."
Well, do something.
No, but... Well... - "Your time starts now!"
Wait, wait, wait, wait, now.
"Your time starts now"?
There's nothing else written, for fuck's sake!
Why is this here?
"Your time starts now."
Do you have to shine a light on something?
Yes, but, "your time", Antoine...
What's funny is that, by this time,
in Marie-Lyne and Kevin's team,
Kev has already left the room.
"Your time starts now."
"Okay, that's it!" He's gone.
Well, we can leave, I think. - No.
Yes, yes! - No!
Oh, he's handcuffed! He's handcuffed! He's handcuffed!
We have to find the key!
How did you figure that out?
Well, that's it; I'm focused.
But wait!
Ah! Oh, come on! Shit, we'd have never...
"Set Antoine free. Fastest wins."
Oh! His hands are behind his back!
Goddamn dumbass!
Ouch! Ouch!
Okay.
You called it!
Did you have a premonition, Phil?
Nostradamus!
What an adventure!
It was hard to figure out. - Yes.
What a team Kevin and Marie-Lyne make, eh?
We're going to get 5 pity points, right?
The most dysfunctional duo
since Dodo and Denise, I think. [characters in a Quebec French sitcom]
I was handcuffed.
You were handcuffed.
They had to find the key to free me. Okay, perfect.
That was very exciting. - It was great!
We'll start with the team- I'll stop calling them a team.
We'll start with Kevin and Marie-Lyne.
Ah! It wasn't that bad! - Should we have a look?
Well, I've been doing everything on my own so far.
No, no!
Marie-Lyne, I'll be back. I'm going to go look for a paperclip.
Great; go try to find a paperclip.
Do we have any paperclips?
Well, obviously the key is in the code; idiot.
My god. Has he been like this all season?
Jesus. They put me with Kevin Raphael...
Marie-Lyne! - What?
I found a paperclip and a Timbit. [doughnut hole from Tim Horton's, coffee and doughnut chain]
Well, eat the Timbit, my dear.
It's good.
Hmm... - Oh!
Is this something? No...
Oh, wait.
There's another word in the back. - "Look at the clock."
Where's the clock? Where's the clock? Where's the clock? Where's the clock?
Where is the clock?!
It annoys me when I can't see it. Oh! Goddamn it.
Here it is, the fucker.
Ah! You found the clock.
Okay. It's at... Okay, the three numbers...
are, like, 11, 4, 9.
We've got.. 1... 1, 4, 9?
11, 4, 9.
What time would this be?
Well, it would be... 9:55?
Yeah.
So far... we're not... we're not winning.
I don't know if we're supposed to weigh... 9:56, maybe?
I'm going to continue with my... my paperclip.
Oh man, he's really annoying me!
Try...
Oh! 9-11. Nine eleven!
Stop it. What are you talking about?
Yo, you know; the World Trade Center attack.
It's 9:53...
There's no time on that clock, Kevin.
Yo, I was right!
What?
9-11!
9-1-1, I was right!
I was right!
I got it, Kevin! I got it, Kevin! Kevin, Kevin!
Oh, no... Fucking... - Yo, man! These guys are nuts, man.
For real.
Come on! Do the edges! - Okay, okay, okay.
Okay, find all the edge pieces. Like this; look.
We're doing the edges.
Okay? We're doing the edges.
This is an ear.
Yes, okay, perfect.
Thank you for that information.
You do Louis' face.
That'll be easy.
Yo, did you see this, man?
Yes, that's it;
but keep going, "yo, yo, yo."
It has to be after.
But once we've done this... what... where is the key?
Wait. Maybe we'll run the light over it.
"L'Étranger" by Albert Camus. ["The Stranger"]
Page 83...
Ah, yes, 83 and 65...
"L'Étranger" by Albert Camus.
Ah! There it is, there it is, there it is!
Well yes, but... work faster! You're dawdling!
No, but... [reading from page]
Well, are we meant to read it, or...
Well, wait. 65. What's 65?
Wait, I have an idea.
Count the words.
What are you talking about?
1... 2... 3... 4... 5... 6...
What's that going to achieve?
7... 8... 11... 12...
"Cabanon" ["Shed"]
You did it all!
Okay.
Hey, it's never-ending!
Never!
"Look behind the frames."
Kevin: behind the frames.
The frames?
Look behind the frames.
Ah! It's a photo.
Okay. He has the key in his hands.
Yo!
Give it to me.
He has the key in his hands; the idiot.
Done. Stop the time.
So you had the key in your fucking hands this whole time?
Interesting. You have to give it to him.
Marie-Lyne, I think that... you did work hard,
but Kevin found the most important clues on his own.
Let's go! Let's go! - You owe him an apology.
He solved the whole thing.
I found everything by accident, but I found it!
For once, eh? - For real!
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Bravo, Kevin, you did super well.
Really extraordinary.
Well, it's just that... It's just, Kev, that...
It's just that you're... It's slow.
You know? You're like...
You're on the Titanic;
once you get to the bottom of the ocean, you go:
"Ah, shit: a canoe!"
The canoe!
And she, the whole time, is, like: "Pick up an oar, for fuck's sake!"
And he's, like, [burbling]. Like this!
They succeeded. - After how long?
18 minutes and 30 seconds!
Hey, that's actually pretty good!
Yes! Yes, yes, yes. That's good.
Bravo.
We're amazing.
That's fair enough. That's fair enough.
So, the other team is a team of three. - Exactly.
Technically, that should make them much faster.
We'll see if that was the case, right after the break!
Oh!
"You may only use the shopping basket and its contents"
"to transport the rice."
Hey!
We eat rice in Haiti!
Welcome back to Taskmaster.
The comedians are in the middle of a task
in which they had to free you, Antoine.
Indeed. It's a team task in which a series of clues
helped them find the key they needed to free me.
We've seen the first team's attempt.
I said it: "team"! - Yes!
Kevin and Marie-Lyne did it in 18 minutes and 30 seconds.
Well done.
Next we'll see if the other team did better.
Ah! "Look at the clock."
Where is the clock? This one? 9...
There's one here!
Okay. It's... it's... 3... 39 or 38.
1, 2, 3.
3, 39 or 38.
Get over here.
9-3-8.
These are the minutes.
Look, this is 12. - 1, 2, 3, 4.
We're missing a clock.
Did that open anything?
There's another clock here, gang!
Where?
Yes, but it's... - Oh!
Quick, quick, quick!
9-1-1, come on!
Oh, lord!
Fucking hell!
Now it's going to be, "Where is the key."
Now, the clock... - It's like we're on "Survivor".
It's Louis! We've got it!
Oh! It's Louis! - That's good...
Why are we making it?
I have a corner, here.
What's written, there?
"L'Étranger" ["The Stranger"] - Perfect.
"L'Étranger" by Albert Camus. - It's not written here.
Ah, it says, "P..."
Ah, well there must be "L'Étranger" by Albert Camus somewhere in this room.
Ah, I think we have to look at it from the other side!
I found "L'Étranger" by Albert Camus. Okay.
Ah, you're good!
Okay so now, if... ah,
...there must be a page number there!
No, no!
Page what? - Page 83-65.
83-65. - Yes! Yes! I love you guys!
No, 83... 65; you're right.
Come on... 60... 61... 62... 63... 64... 65...
"The"... Ah, no, but I didn't count the apostrophes!
"Cabanon" ["Shed"]!
The 65th word is, "shed"! - The shed!
Why didn't we bring Antoine with us?
Ah, you're right; we should have dragged Antoine here!
Okay. Shed. Shed. Shed.
Well, there's this.
Okay.
What does it say?
It says...
"Look behind the frames."
Hey, I removed the damned frame!
I'm hot!
The frames.
Okay. All of the frames.
Oh! I'm sorry!
Okay! We've got something! - Oh, yeah?
I've got it!
There's a key!
Yeah, but...
He's got it in his hands; the son of a bitch.
Honestly!
Ah, that's annoying!
Well I'm not... no; I'm not going to uncuff him.
Yeah, let's not free him.
Let's spit on him and leave.
Bravo!
Well done, team! Yay!
Bravo!
Bravo, good teamwork!
Bravo, cooperation! Ouch!
But...
They were really disrespectful to you, though.
Yes; they spit on me, Louis.
They wanted to spit on you. They treated you like a dog.
What was disrespectful was that he had the key on his person
the whole time and he never said a damned word.
Hey, this season has barely started, guys.
It's gonna get so much more complicated than that.
And their faster time, was...?
They had a faster time, you're right,
and it was 10 minutes and 36 seconds.
Watch out for my poor little ankle!
Well. Some might say it's good teamwork.
Yes.
I think it's a little arrogant.
And they're a team of three... - It's happiness! - ...as opposed to two.
I'll give 5 points to all of them.
Oh! That's pretty good!
Yes, yes!
And now...
And who is in the lead at the moment?
For now, it's Tammy.
Really?!
Well done, Tammy.
It's not going to last.
Okay. I'm ready for another task.
A grain transport task.
Come on! How's it going?
I'm doing well, you?
Oh, yes! We're going grocery shopping!
Hey, friend!
Hey!
Hey, friend!
Oh!
A little culinary task.
What are these curious objects?
Okay. Alright. Can I open it?
Yes.
"Get this rice into the bottle in the office."
So, I imagine that there will be a bottle in the office?
"You may only use the shopping basket and its contents"
"to transport the rice."
"You may not touch the rice with anything other"
"than the shopping basket and its contents."
Just those things?
What is this?
A little pot of honey?
"You may not take the bottle out of the office."
"The most rice grains in the bottle wins."
"You have 10 minutes."
Okay.
Your time starts now!
"Your time starts..."
I hadn't even said it yet.
"Your time starts now."
A solo task. - Exactly.
And a seemingly simple one. - Yes.
They had to transport the rice, without touching it.
That's right! - Not with their hands.
They had to use the items in the basket. - Just the ones in the basket.
The most rice grains... - Of rice in the bottle in the office...
My god, you'd be an excellent contestant!
Well, it seems easy! - Yes, absolutely!
No.
Well, let's have a look at
Kevin, Mona, and Marie-Lyne's attempts.
Oh, no!
Oh, boy! Oh boy!
What is this?
I can't touch the rice. I can't touch the rice.
Okay.
Am I allowed?
Yes.
I'm allowed to do this?
Yes.
Okay. But no... It's the object that's touching it!
Not bad, eh?
Okay. I'm going to make myself a little bowl with
the putty... in the... in the... okay.
Okay. Where's the bottle?
Okay! In there?!
Hey!
Yo!
In Haiti we eat rice!
This is... so stupid.
Oh... Oh!
That's not so bad! Okay.
Okay. I wanna test something out.
Yep. So, I'm definitely
getting a lot of it in my mouth.
Look how good this is.
It's doing all of the work! Okay. Okay!
So, we put this on like this... And then, after that,
we pick up all of the rice.
I think I'm going to try my honey method, Antoine.
Sorry.
Okay. Alright, alright.
I'll be back!
Okay... Oh!
Oh...
It's not running.
I created, like, a plaster. Ah!
Hmm...
I've created a stopper on my bottle.
Am I the most logical woman in the world? Maybe.
Okay.
Now, we put this here.
Oh! What... Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh, no.
Okay.
That's not bad!
Another victory for the drag queens!
Whose rice is this?
It's our rice!
Waste of time!
No!
10 minutes! Stop!
It's hard!
Okay. My goodness;
you don't think you overcomplicated things, there?
The biggest mistake was the honey.
As soon as you touch the honey;
it's all over.
It creates an obstruction.
I don't know... Kevin?
Well I...
But it looked delicious!
Listen, sometimes in life, we make bad decisions.
And I take full responsibility for that one, okay?
I'll admit it was a bad decision.
I would have done the same!
Obviously, to give them points, I need to know the results.
I have them.
We took measurements before and after.
Complicated.
Here are the results. Uh...
Kevin, a series of blunders
led you to transport 108 grams of rice.
Oh, that's good!
127 grams for Marie-Lyne, and an impressive
282 grams for Mona!
Okay.
Wow!
Did Tammy and Phil fare better?
"After the break," right? - After the break!
He's good!
"Who do you think will win the task?"
"Those who guess correctly will win 5 bonus points!"
Who do you think will win?
Me.
You know, at some point, you need to believe in yourself.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Welcome back to Taskmaster,
where our five comedians are
on this show solely because,
well, Marc Labrèche [French Canadian host/actor/comedian]
hasn't invited them onto his talk-show.
No.
No, no. No, no.
We chose to be here, right? - Yes!
We chose you.
While they're waiting, we're right in the middle of a task.
Our friends had to transport
rice from the lab to the office.
We have seen Mona, Kevin, and Marie-Lyne
complete the task and have tallied their results.
Let's see if Tammy and Phil did better.
I'm wondering if I do this, will it suck it up?
No. It's actually blowing it out.
This would make a great container.
Can I empty this somewhere?
Can I do that? - Yes.
Ah, it's gonna be super sticky.
Oh, this is annoying.
You know, this is good.
I can open it pretty wide.
I can fill this up.
"You may only use the shopping basket"
"and its contents to transport the rice."
Hey, I can use the envelope.
I could use the envelope.
There's nothing that says that I can't use the envelope.
"You may only use the shopping basket"
"and its contents to transport the rice."
Come on! I've won this!
Oh my! And I made a big mess on the table.
Too bad for the rest of you.
"You may not touch the rice with anything other"
"than the shopping basket and its contents."
You know, this is pretty good for a first go, I think.
So, obviously, getting it through
the bottle neck is tough, but I'm unstoppable.
Okay. Hey, you know... this is pretty good, actually!
Come on. Come on!
This is working so well!
This is my technique.
Okay.
"You may not touch the rice with anything..."
Confident?
Yes. Well, when you find something that works...you know?
Antoine, this is going so well, you know?
There's something beautiful about this.
"You may not touch the rice with anything"
"other than the shopping basket and its contents."
You know those magical moments? - Yes?
This is one of them.
Come on, come on!
I think I'm filling my bottle up really nicely.
Happy?
Oops.
Oops. Ah, this is...
Bravo!
You are almost pitiful.
You were so proud of yourself!
I was really proud.
There a scientific concept called "cognitive overload".
I think that's what we both experienced.
Cognitive overload.
Too many instructions.
At some point, when there are too many instructions...
Too many instructions, you completely lose focus.
But there were only two!
Don't touch the rice;
use what's in the basket.
There were just two.
Cognitive overload!
After two instructions, Tammy goes... Oof!
Oh, yeah, you know it, eh? - Yes. One thing at a time.
Okay. - It's okay, Tammy.
And I don't mind looking like an idiot
because I had such a good time.
I was... I was sure that I had cracked the code.
Yes! I was so proud of myself that morning.
Me too. - You won't take that away from me, Louis.
You can never take that away from us.
I went home and said to my girlfriend:
"Your man is the greatest."
And now, I'm going to
make sure she doesn't watch this episode!
Ah, that's good!
Taskmaster, you have to assign some points.
I have to give out points.
We'll start with the easy bit.
Zero for Phil and Tammy.
Zero for Phil and, "the man for the job".
And then we'll give 5, 4, and 3 points by weight.
So, Mona, Marie-Lyne... Mona, 5 points,
Marie-Lyne, 4 points, and Kevin, 3 points. There.
So, who is in the lead now?
It's changed.
Oh!
Mona is in the lead, now!
Wow!
Le drag queen is in the lead.
Next task.
Yes. A task that will really bounce back!
Oh!
Pirate!
What are you doing with a whistle and a telescope, my boy?
There's no task?
Okay. The envelope is over there.
Oh! That's brilliant.
Always so surprising, eh, this... Okay.
I only see trees.
There's nothing there..
Is there something somewhere else?
That, that uh...
I already have a hard time reading when it's in my hand.
Imagine like this?
"Make... the highest... splash."
"You have 15 minutes and..."
You can't see clearly with this thing.
I can't believe people used to use this.
I can't see shit with this.
Is there a cap on it?
"Make the... highest... splash..."
Can I go over there and read the paper?
Good, thanks.
"You have 15 minutes and only one attempt."
"Also, before you begin..."
"you must say who you think will win the task."
"Those who guess correctly will win 5 bonus points!"
"Your time starts when Antoine whistles."
"The highest splash."
Who do you think will win?
Uh... who will win?
Yes?
Well, me.
Well, can I say me?
Of course!
Me.
I don't know. I feel like saying Tammy.
I think it'll be Marie-Lyne.
Like... "Splash!" Like, that?
So, who do you think will win?
Me.
You know, at some point, you have to believe in yourself.
Okay.
That was fun. - It was really fun.
So there are 5 bonus points if you
correctly guessed the winner of the task.
Yes. Exactly.
And Marie-Lyne has the highest number of votes; two.
Oh!
Tammy's and your own. - And your own. - Girl power!
She has two votes, but we're not gonna start with her attempt.
No? - We're going to keep that a surprise.
We're going to see Phil, Kevin, and Tammy's attempts instead.
Dammit! - Dammit!
But you need to be up high so that there's...
a big enough splash.
So, how am I gonna get up high?
You know...
There are constraints, here.
So, a splash is a "splash" right? Are we on the same page, here?
Yes, yes, yes. We're on the same page.
The highest. - So I need to put water in something?
I already know that I need some water.
So now, I see that we have a hose.
So I've got my first tool, now.
Okay.
And now I need a plan.
The highest splash.
You know...
This... water...
And you drop something into it.
Drop a... It'll maybe go, "Woosh!"
Come on, go!
Go!
Man, it's gonna take a while to fill this up.
While you're doing that,
I'm going to go fill stuff up... - Okay. - ...in the kitchen.
I'm thinking that if I fill this up with water,
number one: it's incredibly wasteful...
Hey, that's not bad.
Number two: I think that my goal is to throw a little...
bowling ball into it. The small one.
Yes. Okay.
I don't think it's going to be
a big enough splash because... the surface... you know?
The impact... - I love how you explain yourself.
Brilliant!
So, this is now... out!
Hang on a sec.
Ah, okay. I...
This probably won't be too bad.
Do you have a jet preference? Which do you like better?
The direct spray,
the triple...
You prefer that over the ball?
Well, isn't it heavier?
The heavier the object, the more it'll go, "Boom!"
The... "That's great; I forgot to unzip"?
Ah!
Okay. Now we're talking.
This is good.
The... "Leans to the left"?
"I didn't have to go as badly as I thought".
The...
That's what mine looks... - That one? Okay.
Alright!
Oh, no. I feel like... this isn't high enough.
Okay.
It needs to be higher, but there isn't...
Can I take the... GoPro that's over there?
Yeah? I don't know. - Can I use it?
Because that is excessively high.
Okay. Do you wanna hold the ladder for me, please?
Sure. My pleasure. - Thanks.
Oh! Your hands. That's good!
Okay.
Antoine? - Yeah?
I'm satisfied with that.
Can I hand this to you? - Yes.
Okay! Are we ready?
We are ready!
You're holding me, eh? - I'm holding you.
Okay. One... two...
Three...
Let go.
Ooh!
Not bad!
There's a bit of disappointment, here.
Slight disappointment.
He's so happy!
Tammy, was there a moment during your attempt
in which you told yourself:
"Maybe the 'Home Alone' strategy won't work?"
"It won't work..."
Does he or does he not end up reuniting with his parents?
Yes!
And he beats the bad guys in the end. No, but, uh...
So you believed it would work all along?
I believed it and I told myself that I had to get
as high up as possible. But, yeah, something was missing,
but I'm still not sure what, Louis.
Phil's splash was 3.5 metres high.
That's pretty good!
Of course!
Tammy; a 1 metre splash.
1 metre.
And Kevin's splash was 4 metres high.
Wow!
What? 4?
Well, 4... 4 metres!
Metres is a lot.
You're in the lead.
4 metres. How many metres tall am I?
1 metre; that's it.
1.5, 2?
We'll explain how this works
to Kevin during the break. - It's okay, it's okay, it's okay.
When we come back,
the crowd favourite, Marie-Lyne Joncas. - Oh!
This is the first time
I've been in the running to win anything!
Don't take it away from me.
Please!
I take no pity on him.
He was talking to his dog earlier, going: "Woof, woof, gee".
People are watching you at home, Louis.
You don't wanna be that guy.
Welcome back to Taskmaster.
There are two more attempts to see for the splash task.
Right.
And we remind you that if the contestant
correctly guesses the winner of the task...
They get 5 bonus points.
5 bonus points.
Lots of points in play at the moment,
but let's have a look at Marie-Lyne's attempt now.
Do you want me to set this up for you? - Look, this... yes. Listen.
You're gonna set up the tarp,
and I'm going to get into my car.
Yes, okay.
Is that okay?
Perfect! Check it out!
What are you doing with that?
A little unspecified brown soda party. Okay.
Okay?
And wait.
What's that?
Have you heard of this?
Mentos and brown soda?
So, the aim is to try to get as many as possible in there.
But, you know, they need to fall in.
So now... - Okay. - At the same time.
In here, like this. - Okay.
Like this, with a piece of cardboard.
With a piece of cardboard?
Oh, and then, you... - And after that...
And then, we move out of the way quickly.
Okay.
I'm a little scared, I won't lie.
Understandable.
When do we move away?
As soon as you... You'll remove the cardboard,
I'll hold... yes.
I remove the cardboard? Okay.
Get into... Get into this position.
You'll have to be ready to run away.
Yeah but I'm 50 years old!
You want me to crouch down like a young man?
My suit it going to rip.
When I say, "Go", we go. Okay?
It's possible that I won't move at all.
How do I pull this? That's it?
Is it properly aligned, there?
Go ahead.
Wait. There's friction.
Are you ready? - Yes.
Is everyone ready? Do we go?
Go ahead.
Okay.
That's pretty good!
I thought to myself...
I was thinking it would have
been on the order of 4 or 5 metres high.
That's what I thought it was going to be.
And I think that... slowed down,
set to dramatic music,
it could look pretty awesome.
Yeah.
So... make it happen.
Okay. Thanks, Marie-Lyne. - It was my pleasure.
Good idea, Marie-Lyne.
We'll do just that;
and I'd especially like us to
pay attention to my friend, Antoine.
You were afraid for your life.
We were both scared.
Yeah, but... We were messing around with chemistry!
Have you seen the movie, "Oppenheimer"?
That's it. We were toying with the limits of science.
You kept coming back to... you kept asking:
"When do we move out of the way?" "I'm removing the cardboard?"
You were terrified. I'd love to rewatch it, please.
I'm a little scared, I won't lie.
Understandable.
When do we move away?
As soon as you... You'll remove the cardboard,
I'll hold... yes.
I remove the cardboard? Okay.
How do I pull this? That's it?
Is it properly aligned, there?
Go ahead.
Wait. There's friction.
Are you ready? - Yes.
Is everyone ready?
Do we go? - Go ahead.
Look how disappointed he looks!
Wow!
Is it over?
The courage, the legend:
Antoine Vézina.
Is it over?
Stop it! It was soda! Anything could happen!
So, even when set to dramatic music,
it's not any more impressive.
It's... I'm guessing it wasn't even 1 metre high.
1.20 metres, based on our scientific calculation.
What? That's not terrible!
That puts you in third place at the moment.
Yes.
There's one person left.
Yes. She's been very quiet, though.
Mona. - A shy little girl.
I think we've arrived, now.
Yes.
Oh boy!
Look how lovely it is, here.
Ah, it's magnificent, eh?
Tourism, resort life, pleasure.
Look.
That's not going to make a big splash.
Hold on. The little card I read
said that you're looking for the highest splash. Okay?
Yes.
How high is Mount Saint Bruno? [where they are standing]
Uh... from memory, 218 metres.
What a beautiful mind you have.
And from where we are standing, we can't see any other peaks, right?
No other summits?
We're at the summit.
And so?
So, we'd add up the whole thing.
218 metres plus whatever we're about to achieve here.
Are we ready? We're doing this now.
Okay! - Okay.
218 metres and 40 centimetres.
Oh, well, that was certainly worth it.
Yes!
Can we...
Can we discuss this?
No.
Maître, Master, Maestro. - I'm listening.
I'm a lover of languages. The French language
appeals to me enormously.
Uh... On the card, it said: "Make the highest splash."
So, I went up to a very high point and I made a splash.
Otherwise, you'd have written:
"Make your splash the highest." Right?
Isn't that right, everyone? - Yes!
Good point. Good point.
We climbed up to 218 metres in high heels.
A four-day hike, Louis. - A four-day hike.
We had no granola bars, no water...
besides the little flower pot.
And a splash was achieved. We saw it.
"Click", splash. We add 218 metres to that.
Hey, I've been here a while and I never win anything.
Okay? This is the first time that
I've been in the running to win anything!
Don't take it away from me.
Please!
Taskmaster? I take no pity on him.
He was talking to his dog earlier, going: "Woof, woof, gee."
People are watching you at home, Louis.
You don't wanna be that guy.
Okay. Antoine?
What do you think?
Well, I had a lovely time on our walk. Very much so.
We saw some beautiful things; we chatted.
Okay, fine.
It's a good gimmick... - It's not a gimmick,
it was a stroke of genius!
The highest splash.
Hang on. Actually, I... Okay. I can appreciate
the intelligence behind, uh... the linguistic nuances
in your interpretation.
Right?
For that, 5 points.
Thank you so much. Thank you.
Yes. Yes!
Thank you, thank you.
5 points.
The lowest splash was Tammy's: 1 point.
1 point for Tammy.
Kevin?
Marie-Lyne, 2 points. - Marie-Lyne, 2 points.
3 points for Phil. - 3 points for Phil.
And Kevin, because you executed the task
using the original meaning:
5 points as well.
And I win?
And because...
...you bet on yourself... - Oh, that's too much.
...you get the 5 bonus points.
Yes!
Good job, Kev!
Oh, come on!
Bravo. Bravo.
Why is Marie-Lyne right in the middle?
Bravo.
Uh... Kevin is in the lead, but it's anyone's game.
Yes.
Anything can happen in the final task,
which will take place here, in front of you all.
A mouse! Four paws!
Well yeah; but everything has four paws!
All animals have four paws!
Yeah, but a mouse! The nose!
Welcome back to Taskmaster,
and the final task of the evening!
To Marie-Lyne Joncas' great pleasure,
it's a team task.
Hey! I'm gonna lead him to victory this episode!
He's gonna win this one!
Oh yeah? Kevin, would you bet on yourself in a team task?
Yes, because I have confidence in my teammate.
Together, we can win. Two. Oh... Oh lord...
Ah, that's a shame.
You're off to a great start.
So, Antoine, who will read us the instructions?
Phil, please. - It's a honour.
Go on, my boy!
Look at this. Encouragement... - We're proud of you at home, my boy!
"Draw the animal on your card."
"Each artist must draw three straight lines on their turn."
"The artist's teammates may have one guess after these three lines."
"If the guess is incorrect, the other team's artist"
"will draw their straight lines."
"You may not speak or communicate with your teammates in any way."
You'll each get a piece of paper with the word
your teammates need to guess.
Okay.
Each artist will draw three lines at a time.
Straight lines.
The teammates will have one guess as to what animal it is.
If you guess wrong, the next team will get a chance to draw three lines.
They'll have a different word.
Three lines, one guess, if they get it wrong...
But on the same board? - ...we keep going.
Yes, you'll be sharing the board; you can do this.
You'll have different animals to draw,
but on the same board.
Who will be the artist? - Me.
Are you sure, Kevin?
The others, get into position...
Three lines!
Straight ones. Straight.
Only straight lines!
Straight lines... shit!
That's it; have a think. - Without talking.
I knew that I'd be better off as the artist.
Straight lines, three of them. - Okay. Okay.
A capybara.
Stop. One guess.
Giraffe. - No.
Well, you know; we're trying.
We'll go to the next team, now.
He's going to draw three new straight lines.
Three lines. - Can Mona and I discuss?
Yes, you can discuss with one another.
Okay. Okay. It's something with... a rhinoceros or... you know, a...
No, but maybe, you know, a long fish.
Try something.
What is your answer?
A swordfish!
No, that's not it! - No. Three new lines.
Antoine? - Yes?
They're at quite a disadvantage, here.
Marie-Lyne can't discuss with anyone,
so I'm going to help them out.
I'll be on their team. - Yes. Three lines.
Lines, uh...
Is that like a moustache, or something?
I think he drew the paws.
So, the four paws? - The four paws and the...
Well, it can't be something as dumb as a dog or a cat.
An animal with four paws; there aren't too many of those.
Uh... - Go ahead. Try one with four paws.
A horse.
No. Three new lines! - Pay attention.
Okay. Phil, we're with you, Phil! - We're ready!
Okay. Three lines.
The three last ones. We've got this.
We're gonna... we're gonna get this!
Of course, it's... fangs, it's... - It's a crocodile.
That's it. - A crocodile!
Boom! Boom!
Second round.
But out of curiosity, can we know what ours was?
Wait. It's a mouse.
A mouse?
Of course, four paws!
Well yeah; but everything has four paws!
All animals have four paws! - Yeah, but a mouse! The nose!
Second round.
We'll start with the other team.
But we'll make sure the number of rounds is even.
One... two... She does quick strokes.
Oh, it's a mouse!
It's a cat... - Wait, wait.
A cat!
It is a cat!
Perfect.
You have one guess.
You need to get it.
We're unbeatable.
Perfect...
Wait, wait, wait.
Hey! Hey!
They can consult with one another.
They can discuss it.
What do you think it is?
I have an idea.
It's a giraffe.
Yes! - Yes!
Okay. Okay.
The next word on the card,
will be for this team to draw.
We'll start with Marie-Lyne.
Yes. Yes, yes. - Okay.
Three lines.
Oh! A penguin.
He says a penguin.
A penguin is, like...
Hang on a sec. What would that be?
Is it... is it this?
But she would have drawn them going down, no?
She wouldn't have drawn them like that.
Kevin, your answer?
A penguin like this? Oh!
A starfish!
Is that an animal?
Well, it's a marine animal!
So, your response?
Should we try it? Starfish.
Three lines.
Okay. Hang on.
And... and... and... zoom!
Okay.
Pay attention. And, zoom!
And zoom!
Ah, that's interesting.
Is it a fish?
A shark.
So, if you don't get it, I'm gonna flip out.
No, no, no! Woah!
It's a dolphin!
No, no!
Yeah, but... - A dolphin! Bravo, clap for us! Bravo!
Friendship!
Friendship! Friendship!
Okay. I know I'm playing a dual role in this task,
but as the Taskmaster now,
that's a disqualification.
What? What?
Disqualification.
As we've just seen in the last task, there was a disqualification.
Yes; there was cheating. - So, Mona pretty much
handed the victory on a silver platter to the team...
It's because I'm generous.
...the TEAM, in capital letters,
of Marie-Lyne Joncas and Kevin Raphael.
Yeah!
So that's 5 points for them and zero for the other three.
So, it's no huge surprise...
What a night, Kevin Raphael!
We'll see you next week for another episode of Taskmaster.
Thank you very much! Bye, bye!
