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.
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!
"Between the Darkness and the Light"
Thank you. You're too kind!
Keep the applause going for for the five troubadours
of Taskmaster season three:
Arnaud Soly...
...Virginie Fortin... - Woo!
...Bianca Gervais...
...Richardson Zéphir!
And the one who dressed to match the set, Alex Perron!
5 points!
Yes... - You could give me some points for this, come on!
I could, yeah. You could also earn them yourself, you know...
Wearing clothes is easier.
That's enough of that. It's time to welcome a man who deserves a promotion.
He's gone from assistant to chief assistant.
Oh!
Antoine Vézina!
Bravo!
Wow!
Do I get a raise? - It's just a promotion!
A promotion. - Oh, thank you, Taskmaster.
Like we do in the beginning of each episode,
we need to know what they're playing for tonight.
Because there are prizes to be won each episode.
Yes, and the comedians are the ones who bring them in.
They become the prize haul for the evening and it's also the first task.
You'll score them on how well they
stuck to tonight's theme, which is:
the best dead thing.
This game is pretty macabre.
I can't sit next to this guy. I just can't.
Let's have a look at the first item. Bianca's.
[Les Recettes Pompettes was a Quebec variety show that aired between 2015 and 2017.]
[It was cancelled. Louis, Alex, and Louis' wife were on it, among others]
Well played. Well played.
But it was hard to find.
I had to go to a bunch of places.
I bet he has several copies at home.
Let's take a look at Alex's item.
Yes!
It's tartare.
It's a cow. He's dead.
"Best dead thing."
I love tartare.
It's a dead animal. - It's delicious.
What's been annoying me since the beginning of the season...
Oh come on! What's the problem?
Let him finish.
It's not so much your ideas or the result, it's your laziness.
My laziness? Who are you to talk to me about laziness?
Is that one you made yourself?
Well, of course!
You're lying through your teeth.
I know how to make exactly two meals:
cereal and tartare.
Ah, cereal and tartare. Good menu.
Can Virginie save the day?
Not sure.
No!
Okay, this isn't what I wanted to bring in,
but apparently it's illegal to dig up my grandmother.
So, this is her fur coat.
Oh!
Richardson, what did you bring in?
Yep. It's a bottle of water from the Dead Sea.
Ah!
Well played.
The poetry in this is that water is the source of life,
but nothing lives in the Dead Sea.
Pfff!
It's the poetry... of truth.
You didn't seem to appreciate his idea.
You know, I have to say:
at some point, I just stop listening to him.
It's season three.
I've developed some coping skills.
Arnaud!
Yes!
What did you bring in?
I brought in a little parchment in Latin, which is a dead language.
It says, "Ego sum grattus le prepus o terminus d'autobus"
So, Antoine, you speak Latin.
You must know that this is a maxim that means...
Of course, it's well-known.
"Scratch your balls at the terminus."
You caught an STI at Berri-UQAM. [busy Montreal Métro station that is the terminus of the Yellow Line]
That's what that means.
Lots of lovely things.
I feel like being generous today.
Perfection doesn't exist, but I'm gonna give 4 points to everyone.
4 points to everyone.
Yay friends!
And at the moment, they're all in the lead!
Yes!
We'll break up that lead with the first task.
A task that'll bring us out of the shadow.
Oh!
Oh come on!
So annoying. Hey!
Hello, Antoine! - Hello!
This is pretty scary.
Scary? Why?
Well, I dunno.
From the other side, you looked like Alfred Hitchcock.
Hitchcock! Wow! That's so Hitchcock!
Yeah, that's it!
No, it's not Hitchcock?
We are lit very mysteriously.
Is that why you're whispering?
Yeah.
What can this be, Antoine?
"Make the most unexpected silhouette on this screen."
"You have 20 minutes"?!
"Your time starts... now."
There are only filthy things going through my mind right now.
Well, that's why we're giving you 20 minutes.
Silhouettes...
A task between ♪ darkness and light ♪ ['Entre l'ombre et la lumière', by Québécois singer Marie Carmen]
♪ I never had to... ♪
I don't think we have the rights...
♪ ...have anyone hold my hand ♪
Ah, that doesn't sound too much like it.
♪ When I had to traverse the desert ♪
Ah, you're imitating her, too?
Yeah, I can't NOT imitate Marie Carmen. - Do you wanna do the whole thing?
If it gets me more points, yes. If not, let's move on.
I'll give you 2 points if you do it. - 2 points, Taskmaster?!
♪ What's the use of pretending to laugh ♪
Yeah, okay.
♪ I hate to... ♪ I'm already regretting this.
♪ ...see you go ♪
Perfect.
Brimming with talent.
They had to create an unexpected silhouette.
Firstly, we'll show you the items the contestants used.
You can try to guess what they made with those.
Then we'll see their silhouettes.
Interesting.
We'll start with Alex.
So, here are his items.
Alex. Okay!
What do you think he depicted, described, imagined?
Water gun... Water... The beach, red..?
The beach?! - Come on!
Baywatch? I dunno.
"Baywatch?!" Since when did Baywatch use guns?
Okay, so...
You guys were in the same group?!
Yes... but that's over now!
Let's now have a look at Alex's shadow puppet.
"The Return of Princess Yodi"
The Return of Princess Yodi
Wow! - That's good!
Raoowrr!
Chew-Antoine, come join me.
Aoooowwwhr!
Let's go defend the galaxy.
Pew, pew! Pew, pew, pew!
Okay.
Wow!
Antoine was my Chewbacca!
But is that unexpected?
Oh, quite!
You're such a killjoy!
You are dead inside!
Well, we know that you love Star Wars,
and princesses and all that.
The audience cried. They loved it.
Let's have a look at the other attempts.
Yeah, I'm looking forward to seeing the other unexpected attempts.
Well, let's have a look at Bianca's items.
Ooh! Oh!
What did she do with those? - I was really into it.
Bianca, if I'm going by your performance so far this season,
there will be something sexual in there that we weren't expecting.
I don't know what you're talking about.
So, probably...
I'll say... I see the two horses...
She's doing a remake of 'Les Filles de Caleb'. ['Caleb's Daughters', a Quebec TV series set in rural Quebec at the end of the 19th century]
Let's have a look. - Okay.
Ah! Ha, ha!
Mmmww...
Mmmlehh-mmlehh-mmlehh!
Sexual. Sexual.
Woo!
Yes!
Oh boy. Oh boy.
Aaarggh! - Push! Push!
Ha, ha, ha! He's beautiful!
Too late. Oh no!
Nooo!
Very moving.
♪ Because life is so fragile ♪ [song by Québécois singer Luc de Larochellière]
Bravo!
Life. - It's all there.
Well done. Well done.
A short period of time. The meeting, the funeral, death.
Sexuality. - That was pretty good.
I have to say. Very good.
Yes, but it wasn't unexpected.
She tackled sexuality.
Sorry, two horses produced THAT?
That's pretty unexpected.
Okay, we've come to Arnaud.
Okay, Arnaud is always very surprising...
That's true. - ...so I don't want to see his items.
Because I saw Bianca's, and it...
Don't show me his items first. - We'll just have a look at his silhouette.
Let's have a look at Arnaud's silhouette. - Okay.
"Arnaud and the Wolf"
Why is your tongue sticking out on the right?
That's it?!
Hey! I made a wolf!
Yes. - My wolf was very good.
He made the wolf.
I cut it out myself.
You made a wolf, and then you went,
"I'm gonna play the wolf."
Well, I didn't know I had to make a short film.
I made a shadow fresco.
It's almost like you know what you did wasn't good.
Not to make you mad, but mine represented 100 years of life.
Okay, okay. - Hey, I put slippers on my ears.
We still have two contestants to see.
Let's see Virginie's items.
Okay.
What do you think she made with them?
I have no idea.
I can't even remember. It'll be a surprise to me, too.
What is she gonna do with that?
Unexpected? Let's see. - Completely unexpected.
Oh boy!
A caterpillar's life isn't easy.
I'm tired of seeing the world from the ground.
I don't have a global point of view.
What's the purpose of life?
It's meaningless.
I might as well go to sleep forever
in this giant white cocoon thing.
"A few months later..."
Oooh!
I who thought I was dying!
I can finally see the world from the sky, just as I'd dreamed!
Like a bird! Ha, ha!
Wow! Oooh! Woah!
There's a story, there's a progression.
Indeed.
Are you starting to understand how this works, Arnaud?
I cut the wolf out, Louis.
Yeah, keep your good ideas to yourself.
There's just one contestant left.
You know what?
I need a moment to recuperate.
I understand.
Richardson, after the break.
Oh!
Surprising?
Well, there's wordplay there...
Be careful.
That's pretty good.
Yeah!
Wow.
Welcome back to Taskmaster, and a shadow puppet task.
Yes. Our contestants had to create an unexpected silhouette.
Yes, we've seen three valiant efforts,
and Arnaud Soly was here, too.
Exactly. There's just Richardson left.
Let's see the items he used first.
What did he use?
This is going to be hard to predict...
There's a baby.
What's going on?
There's Bianca's baby. - Yes.
Okay, yes, I see.
Do you have an idea? What could it be?
Top Gun, maybe Star Trek.
Top Gun.
Ah, that's good.
Not bad, not bad.
Let's see what he did.
Planet Earth. It is the year 2046.
Vincent Guzzo [Canadian cinema chain owner] owns the Quebec Nordiques [defunct NHL team]
and Maria Orsini [Québécois actor] is Prime Minister of the World.
Everything was going well until the planet
received a signal from it's satellite, Bubble.
That's good.
A meteorite was hurtling toward Earth at high speed.
Nobody wanted to destroy the meteorite.
All of the soldiers were terrified,
except one prisoner named Armand Guindon, who said,
"I'll friggin' do it."
All of his friends called Armand Guindon by his criminal name...
[American pronunciation]: Armand Guindon.
He took off on his super jet...
Well, the army's jet, but he claimed it was his.
He aimed a first missile...
...in the direction of the meteorite.
All of Earth's hope rested on this meteorite.
He missed, unfortunately.
But because Armand Guindon wasn't a quitter, he said,
"Hang on. I got another one."
He let a second missile fly, and this one hit.
Hit the nail on the head, as they say.
♪ I don't wanna close my eyes ♪
♪ I don't wanna fall asleep ♪
♪ 'Cause I'd miss you, babe, and I don't wanna miss a thing ♪ [Aerosmith's 'I Don't Wanna Miss a Thing', which featured in 'Armageddon']
I'm going back home.
Armand Guindon, French version of...
[American pronunciation]: Armand Guindon. [sounds like 'Armageddon']
Ah, fudge! I missed Earth!
Very good.
- So, surprising?
Well, yeah. But there's wordplay, there...
Be careful.
Where's the wordplay?
That's pretty good. You were... - Yeah! Wordplay.
No, bravo, bravo, Rich. That was really good.
5 points to Rich. - 5 points to Rich.
Well-deserved 5 points.
Wordplay for the win!
I really liked the women's.
Bianca, Virginie, 4 points. - 4 points.
I've changed, I've changed.
- 3 points for Alex. - Okay.
And 2 points for Arnaud. - Thank you.
And 2 points for Arnaud.
Should we go on to the second task, Antoine?
Ah yes. A very zen task.
Zen?
Hi, Antoine! - Hi, Alex.
Oh, may I? - Go ahead. Oh!
There you go. - Ah, thanks.
Ah, I feel better! - Good.
Okay.
Uh, is there an envelope somewhere?
No. - Oh?
What's going on?
Good question.
What am I reading?
What am I reading, Antoine?
You don't have a bit of paper for me?
What?
The little letter with the... - The instructions?
Yes. - Of course. Yes, you have to read them.
Yeah. If you could give them to me, that would be great.
I haven't given them to you?
Well, you gave me this lovely towel, here.
I appreciate it.
Ah!
What?
Well played.
Ah! Ha, ha, ha!
You're so devious. Okay.
"Make the sauna stones hiss."
"You must be standing behind the rope when the sauna stones hiss."
Antoine!
I wanna play. - I have given you the instructions.
No. You've given me a towel.
"You may not move the sauna stones or this rope."
"You may not use a hose."
"Fastest wins."
"Your time starts now."
So I imagine that the hotter it gets,
the more the stones hiss. Am I right?
Uh, maybe, yeah.
Is this one of those tasks in which I have to go rummaging?
I gave them to you.
Are they written on this?
Ah!
Note to self:
"Don't do any escape rooms with Bianca."
Okay, this is pretty simple.
They have to make the stones hiss by getting water onto them.
Exactly. Try to find a way to get the stones to hiss
while staying behind the rope. So, a little steam...
Make the water sizzle on the rocks.
Exactly.
Let's see how Alex and Bianca fared.
It wasn't a good morning.
Okay.
Hmm, hmm, hmm. But...
There's nothing here that can...
help me all that much.
Ginger lemonade!
"You may not move the sauna stones or this rope."
"You may not use a hose."
Well, I could spit on it, but I'm too far away!
Seriously?!
There's always a point at which I feel like a moron,
because I don't understand the thing.
That's every morning when I wake up.
Yes! I don't doubt that.
What I could do...
That's it.
I could create a sort of mound with the water.
Not a mound, but, like a little water path, you know?
The infamous water path.
Where's a tap?
Do you think I'll make it?
I don't know.
I think I will. I think I have a decent arm.
I'm gonna try. - Okay.
Hey, imagine I get it on the first go?
That would be sick, eh?
Hey! This is gonna work!
If I aim it well.
And if...
Would it be alright if you just held this?
Certainly. - I really appreciate it.
Okay. Let's test it out.
But hold it straight. 1, 2, 3...
Ah! Ha, ha!
That's it! It's about the aim.
Ah, crud!
It says:
"You may not use a hose."
It's 'cause there's a wind coming in from the northeast.
Ah yes, I feel it. Okay. - Yeah. Hang on.
We'll wait for it to stop.
Oh! Oh!
Ah!
There was a hiss.
Hey!
Teamwork and true friendship!
Okay, all in all, they searched for the task for a while.
You searched for a while.
Yes, but-- - Did you believe that that would work?
I had a mini-stroke, there, for about a half hour
but when I came back from it, it worked out well.
Because it was a pretty simple task.
But I was full of goodwill.
You're always full of goodwill.
Sometimes to a fault, I know.
But we musn't exaggerate. - It wasn't that bad.
You were successful. - It took 20 minutes.
But the way I remember it... - How much time?
7 minutes 30 seconds. - I thought it was 40.
Exactly.
Alex was much faster, with 3 minutes 58 seconds.
Bravo, Alex! - What was that?
Can you say it again? - Bravo, Alex!
I couldn't hear you. Can you repeat it?
Bravo, Alex! - Now I heard it.
Should we move on?
Certainly.
After the break... - No!
Ha! Ha!
No!
What are you doing?
No? How did it go?
I was thirsty.
Welcome back to Bernard Pivot's Dictation. [French TV host known for his spelling dictations]
No, uh... to Taskmaster.
They had to make the stones hiss.
Yes, without going over the rope, or using a hose.
At the moment, Alex is in the lead.
They don't believe it.
Let's see how Virginie, Arnaud, and Richardson did.
Cool. - Uh... Well, well, well...
♪ How can I do this? ♪
A water gun. That would be fun.
Or a water bow. Pew!
I have an idea. - Okay, here we go.
Yes, sir.
Wooh!
I'm here, I'm here.
I have a watering can, but I think I'll need to find
a bigger pail to fill it up.
Okay, okay. More.
Okay, thank you.
I'm watching.
What are you doing?
No? How did that go?
Very well. I was thirsty.
Alright. Here we go.
Have you done this before? - Uh, no.
I'll make another one, just in case.
Let's see if this works.
No.
Okay. I'll try these two balloons first.
I didn't make it.
A little pebble.
Oh no! - Yes.
Oh boy!
Good idea on paper, but I think I'll need more than this.
At least it didn't pop.
Hang on. Maybe I can do it with just the watering can.
The goal is to make... the stones hiss.
I know.
This reminds me of CÉGEP. [post-secondary institution in Québec, providing pre-university and technical programmes]
What did you do there? - No, no, never mind.
Okay.
Hmm...
Change of strategy.
Okay. - Yeah.
That looks like the same strategy.
Yes, but I have to be behind the rope when it hisses.
So that's when there's evaporation, right?
When water, because of the heat, evaporates, which makes it hiss?
Okay.
So, if I have time to place a balloon there,
and run behind the rope before it evaporates...
Oh!
I think I need height. - Okay.
Okay.
This is a big tube.
Now I'm gonna go up the ladder, and that'll be impressive.
Thanks, Antoine.
Okay, thank you, thank you.
Yes!
Did it hiss? - Yes!
I'll make it easier.
It's hissing.
Okay.
There's a lot going on, there.
Yes, yes that's true.
First off, Virginie, you almost drowned yourself. Poor you.
Yes I did. I was thirsty.
I wasn't too confident in my attempt, but I was successful in the end.
But Arnaud, you also looked rather depressed during your attempt.
Uh, it wasn't the best day of my life.
And I'll inform you that you are disqualified for moving the rope.
You weren't allowed to do that. - Uh... okay.
I won't say anything. I won't say anything.
And Rich, you were confident the whole time.
You believed in your plan.
And tonight, you're saying, "That went well."
Well, it hissed, and I was behind the rope.
Hmm... Can we go back and see the replay of the moment it hissed?
You don't have to see the replay.
Okay.
That's quite a distance away.
I don't think we have to see the photo finish.
You're far from the rope.
How fast did you think you had run?
So Alex holds on to his first place performance, with 3 minutes 58 seconds.
Bianca, 7 minutes 30 seconds, 4 points.
Virginie, 3 points, with 8 minutes 37 seconds.
Yes! Thank you. - Excuse me?
Can I also get 2 points for imitating someone?
Yes. - I can?
[imitates Québécois singer Pierre Lapointe] ♪ In the forest of the unloved ♪
No, I can't.
I can't.
Good. Uh...
That's not 2-point-worthy... - He's gonna take 2 points off me.
I'll stop, I'll stop.
That was so bad that I will give you 2 points.
Yes!
Despite the 2 points, Arnaud is still not in the lead.
Virginie is. - Bravo!
♪ It serves a purpose ♪
What a show!
Let's move on to the third task.
A team task... - Oh yeah!
...full of ducks.
Hey! - Antoine!
How are you? - Yay! I'm good, and you?
Where are you going? - I don't know. What's going on?
Where do we stand? There? - Ah, it's there!
Hello, Antoine!
Hi, hi! - We're a team!
No!
Yes! Woo! Ouch!
Are you okay?
I think I pulled a butt cheek.
There's a watermelon.
"Knock over as many ducks as possible."
"You must all remain on the red carpet throughout the task."
"Knock over as many ducks as possible."
"You must all remain on the red carpet throughout the task."
"You have five minutes. Your time starts now."
Ah, it's like bowling! - Five minutes. Starting now.
It's like bowling!
"Your time starts now." - Five minutes. Starting now.
Oh come on! - There's just a watermelon here!
On the carpet! On the carpet!
Interesting, eh? - Team tasks are fun.
I'm looking forward to seeing their team dynamics.
Virginie and Alex will definitely be loud.
There was good chemistry, there.
I don't know if he'll take you to the dark side of cheating...
Uh, yes.
We'll see what happened.
Oh. After the break. - Aaah!
That's it.
Antoine! It's over there!
"You must all remain on the red carpet throughout the task."
What if we moved the carpet?
That's it.
Okay, let's do it.
And when we start we'll be on it.
Ah.
I think the task already started.
Welcome back to Taskmaster.
Antoine, viewers at home, do not adjust your televisions.
During the break, Richardson asked me if he could show off his guns more.
We wanted to see his arms.
Since we're a team,
he lent me his jacket, because I was cold.
You see how united we are, Taskmaster? It's amazing.
That's a real team.
Do you want me to lend you my jumpsuit, Alex?
I'll remind you of the task.
While remaining on the red carpet, the team had to knock down
the greatest number of ducks.
Let's see Alex and Virginie's attempt first.
Yes, it was super cool.
I think you need to roll it with all of your might.
Maybe even kick it.
And is-- - Maybe if we cut it in half?
No, no, it's okay. Go on.
If we cut it in two, it won't roll.
That's exactly what I was telling myself,
while I gradually lowered by voice.
Woo! - Woo!
Okay, go for it. Do it, do it. - That's true. Shall we? Okay.
Hey, that was good!
Ass turd!
Is it...
Does the task continue?
You still have 3 minutes 30 seconds.
Well, can we move off the carpet?
What did the task say? - Well, no, but...
It's because it veered off at the last minute...
Ah, I don't care, okay?
Where's the watermelon?
Did it fall into the hole?!
Three minutes.
I think we won this one.
Woo! - Woo!
How much time did we have left?
"You must all remain..."
All. "You must all..."
No, no, "all" is...
No, no, at the moment...
Did we lose? - No, I don't think so.
Not even shy about it.
Well, it was his cheating pride that gave me
the confidence to eschew your...
Exactly. - ...stupid rules, you know?
And the watermelon had left the set.
No, no, no! It fell into the hole!
Another imitation? - Ah, that was an imitation of Virginie?
He's looking for 2 points.
I don't know what to do with this because they're disqualified, but--
Let's get technical. While on the red carpet,
they knocked over zero of 136 ducks.
Without staying on the carpet,
they knocked over 132 of 136 ducks.
Oh, wow! - Hey!
Bravo, Virginie. - Yes, bravo.
I'll roll a watermelon to you any time.
So even while cheating, they missed 4 ducks.
Yes.
Will the team of three do better? Let's have a look.
So, who bowls, here?
Well... - You, Rich.
You, Rich. - I think...
Rich! Rich! Rich!
Four minutes.
I don't bowl, but...
And try to make it do this.
Well, given that there's a incline, I'll try to throw it here.
Yeah, go for it, Rich. - Are you good with that?
Come what may, eh?
Yes, yes, yes!
Oh!
Ha, ha, ha...
Not a single one fell.
I threw it too hard.
We'll have to use our shoes.
With our shoes.
We have our shoes.
Oh man! I'm sorry.
1, 2, 3, shoe!
Yes, that's good.
No, that's not good.
Is that good?
It's good. It's a good idea.
Ah, the idea is good.
My idea was good...
You aim was not so good.
Hey, gang!
We still have zero.
Gang! Okay, gang.
Three minutes.
It's coming back!
A kilometer to the side and we would have gotten it. - I thought it would come back to me.
What a scam that we... - 1, 2, 3.
That was dumb. Ah!
Almost.
White shoes are in style.
Yeah! Hey!
Hey, we suck.
Come on!
Is there something we're missing?
"You must all remain on the red carpet throughout the task.."
Well, maybe we can move the carpet...
That's it. - Okay, let's do it
...and then when we start the task, we'll be on it.
I think the task has already started.
The task has started.
But then, if...
If we go more toward the centre... - Yes. That's it, that's it.
Okay, are you ready?
We'll jump together.
What are we doing?
We're jumping.
1, 2, 3. Jump!
1, 2, 3... - Okay, that's to get back your... Ah yes.
That's so sad!
Let's jump again.
1, 2... Oh!
1, 2, 3. Jump!
1, 2, 3...
Are you a little out of breath?
Okay! We can knock them down.
Thirty seconds.
Yeah!
Woo!
And it's... done.
Hey!
1, 2, 3. Jump!
There.
Now that's a team.
And just so you know, when the task was over,
I picked up the watermelon that they dropped, and donated it to the poor.
Well done. - Thank you.
Congratulations, your teamwork improved over time.
Yes. - We saw the thinking develop.
How many ducks were knocked over?
126 of 136!
Okay, so there's no doubt.
Arnaud, Bianca, and Rich, 5 points.
5 points to them all.
My friends! - 4 for us?
And thanks to those 5 points... - Virginie, Alex...
Four? - Zero.
Zero. - Zero points.
So it's Bianca who is in the lead.
No way!
But it's not over yet.
There's one more task remaining, after the break.
Welcome back to Taskmaster, and the final task of the evening.
Antoine, I'm here because I'll be participating, too.
Absolutely. We'll need you.
Just reminding you that it's anyone's game.
At this point, anyone can win the episode.
There's a chance that...
"Tout le monde gagne!" [Jo Cormier's catchphrase from season 1]
Indeed!
Rich will read the instructions.
Oh boy! We're not done yet. - It's a team task.
You noticed.
I read it? - Yes.
Oh-oh!
"Make the Taskmaster say your word."
"Each team will ask one question at a time,"
"and each question must be made up of exactly six words."
"Also, each team member must take it in turns"
"to say two words of each question."
Oh! - Oh-oh!
"First to make the Taskmaster say your word wins."
Okay. - Alright.
So, they each have a word.
I'll give it to them. The audience will see it.
Not you, of course. You'll face the audience.
And then the team members, two words at a time...
The first team member will say two words,
the next will say two, and so on until the third member.
On this team we'll go back to the first member.
They have to form a question.
You'll see.
It's not both teams at the same time. Right?
First team, you're up.
Two words at a time, forming a six-word question.
Off you go. "Sausage"
It can...
...be eaten in...
...hot-dog one
Hot dog. Hot-dog?! "It can be eaten in hot-dog one?"
A sausage? - Sausage.
Wait.
There were a lot of words. - But that wasn't a sentence.
What do you mean, it wasn't a sentence?
You were able to figure it out!
But it wasn't a question! - Hey, it's not your turn yet!
Let's see what the second team will come up with.
Yes. "Snail"
Which animal...
...roof back...
Wait, what did you say?
...roof back...
"Roof back"?
"Roof water"?! ['dos' = 'back', and 'd'eau' = 'of water' sound alike]
...twisted up.
How is that a sentence?! "Which animal roof back twisted up"
Repeat that back to me, please.
With the same words, or...?
With the same words. - Okay, no prob.
Which animal...
...roof back...
...twisted up.
Is it a fish?
Oh!
First point goes to team number 1!
What was it?
We were looking for 'snail'.
"Roof back twisted"--
No, that makes no sense.
You know it makes no sense.
We're just gonna strategically huddle for a moment.
Let's try to make sentences next time, okay?
Yes! - Okay, second round.
Team number 2, your question.
"Softened"
My pasta...
...is still...
...too cooked?
Wanna have a go, Taskmaster?
Lasagna?
It's not lasagna.
Okay, first team, you're up.
They're going to create a six-word question. "Enormous"
Which adjective...
...means a...
...very large.
"Which adjective means a very large"
Do you wanna try?
Enormous?
We'll do one more round, because they are loving it.
With a Bescherelle! [French grammar reference book]
Same idea, Taskmaster.
"Helicopter" Method of...
What?
...aerial transport...
...with propellers.
"Method of aerial transport with propellers"
Yes! With propellers.
So, there are two options. - What!
He's such a moron!
I'll go with...
It's most likely a plane.
Helicopter?
Yes!
Yes, but a plane has propellers.
Yeah, but do you think we would have said what we did?
The first thing you think of when you hear 'propellers' is a helicopter!
No.
Here we go. Your question, team 2.
"Overalls"
I'm wearing...
Don't look at me like that.
I'm wearing...
...on occasion... - No, no, no!
No, no, no!
Well, I don't know! - No!
"I wear, on occasion..." Rich?
"On occasion" is one word.
That's true. [It isn't]
I wear, on occasion, a...
...little slut.
['salope' = 'pig' but more often, 'slut'; the suffix '-ette' indicates a smaller version]
Would that be 'overalls'?
"I wear, on occasion, a little slut"
Woo! - Okay.
We're starting to recover, over here.
That was really something.
Oh yes, we laughed a lot.
So, we have a winning team.
Alex and Virginie successfully made you guess...
Bravo, Virginie. - Bravo.
...more words.
So, 5 points for Virginie and Alex.
5 points.
We got you to guess 'salopette'. [overalls]
I don't remember how, though.
Bravo. Bravo.
So, it's 3 points. - It's 3 points.
We'll given them 3 points.
A valiant effort. Congrats, Rich.
And it's extremely tight.
Just a few points separate last place and first place.
But tonight, our winner
with 20 points...
Bianca! - What!
Thank you to everyone watching at home, thank you all.
Thank you, Antoine. - Thank you, Taskmaster.
We'll see you next week for another episode of Taskmaster.
Bye, bye!
