Episode 3: Everyone is just a teal dress

In this episode, the contestants must bring in the thing they most wish they could take on an aeroplane, leave New Zealand, snap a pencil, make a one-minute horror film starring an inanimate object, and collect table tennis balls on their helmet plate. In a thrilling tie-breaker, two contestants must then attempt to pour exactly one cup of coffee into a cup.

Taskmaster Intro

Kia ora koutou, and welcome to Taskmaster. My name's Jeremy Wells, and at high school, I was voted least likely to become the Taskmaster. So to the class of 1994, I say this: the joke's on you, because I am the Taskmaster. A few months ago, I hand-selected an elite team of New Zealand's most bloodthirsty comedians and forced them to complete a series of off-kilter tasks for my pleasure. Risking life and limb is our magnificent season four cast.

Note: 'Kia ora koutou' is Māori for 'Hello everyone'.

Assistant Intro

By my side, as always, is a man I couldn't do without ― unless he asks me for a pay rise, in which case, I'll just sack him and hire someone else. It's Paul Williams!
