Get the animal into a receptacle from behind a rope
- In this task, the contestants must get an animal (e.g. a rubber duck or cloth fish) into a receptacle (e.g. a pond, paddling pool, bucket, or fishbowl) from behind a rope.
- The task may be scored based on how quickly they get the animal to the receptacle, or how far they get it to travel before landing in the receptacle, or on the quality of the animal's trip.
- They may also be required to say a specific phrase before the animal begins its trip, and there may be a restriction on the animal touching the ground.

In this version of the task, the contestants must get a rubber duck into a small square pond, dug into the lawn of the Taskmaster house, remaining behind the rope while the duck travels.
Adaptations
In this version of the task, the contestants must get a rubber duck into a paddling pool, rather than a pond. There is also no rule forcing the contestants to remain behind the rope while the duck travels (it merely has to be ‘launched’ from behind the rope), but there is a rule forbidding Pilvi from touching the duck.
In this version of the task, the contestants must get a rubber duck to travel as far as possible along some provided lengths of guttering and into a bucket, rather than trying to get it to travel a fixed distance as quickly as possible. Also, they must duck and shout ‘Duck!’ before their attempt in order for it to count.
In this version of the task, the contestants must get a rubber duck to travel as far as possible along some provided lengths of guttering and into a bucket, rather than trying to get it to travel a fixed distance as quickly as possible.
In this version of the task, the contestants must get a fish into a fishbowl from behind a rope. They must utter a specific phrase when the fish begins its trip, the fish is not allowed to touch the ground, and they are judged on the quality of the fish’s trip, rather than on how quickly the trip is completed.
