Episode 4: You gotta die of something, so let’s go

Episode synopsis

In this episode, the contestants must bring in the thing they most want to hide from visitors, sneak a balloon along a tunnel to Tom, make their wish come true, unveil something unsophisticated with a smoke machine, and land a sandbag on a scoreboard.

Title context

Dave Hughes says “you’ve gotta die of something, so let’s go”, during studio discussion of his salty attempt at the ‘Unveil something unsophisticated with a smoke machine’ task.

Taskmaster Intro

Hello! It’s Taskmaster time. Tell your mum to come in from the shed, and your dad to put some lippy on, because it’s 2025, you idiots. Your mums can be into woodworking, and your dads are meant to look pretty. This is the show where five contestants duck and weave through my devious demands to win an item that’s the source of the dandruff used to make gold flake vodka. It’s the Taskmaster trophy.

Assistant Intro

And beside me, the guy who once said he’d love to see an all-female remake of Gallipoli. It’s Tom Cashman.

Note: Gallipoli is a 1981 war drama film about young men from Western Australia who enlisted in the army during World War I, and were sent to fight on the Gallipoli peninsula, in what is now Turkey.

Taskmaster's Sign-off

Okay, well, what have we learned? Waka taught us the first rule of the air fryer is ‘don’t talk about the air fryer’. And we learned Lesser Tom’s rig is exactly what you’d think it would be. Hip, hip hooray for Tommy. Thanks for watching, and see you on the next one.

Note: The word ‘rig’ is used in Australia to refer to a man’s physique.
