That's a shocking start.
Tom!
Agh!
Mm... Yep. That's it.
Where's Tom?
Agh! Ah-ha!
Agh. No!
I hate you!
Let me out of here!
Hello. And welcome to Taskmaster Australia.
If you're someone who is new to our show
because right to disconnect laws
have finally given you back your leisure time, welcome.
I sure can't wait to show you the gold standard
for how a boss should treat their employees.
Wet willy!
It could go right in.
Ugh!
Competing for the Taskmaster Trophy are five comedians.
Sorry. Four comedians and Lisa McCune.
Sorry...
Three comedians and Tommy Little and Lisa McCune.
Sorry. Sorry. I'll start again.
Uh, competing are five humans.
Sorry. Four humans and Dave Hughes.
Wow.
Let's just welcome them.
Dave Hughes.
Emma Holland.
Lisa McCune.
Takashi Wakasugi.
And Tommy Little. Hello!
And next to me, the guy whose emotional support blanket
is all stiff, for some reason,
it's Tom Cashman.
How's it going, Lesser Tom?
Not too bad. I learnt a fact this week.
Yeah, OK.
Apparently there are more germs on your dining room table
than there are on your toilet seat.
Oh.
It's cause I snuck into your house and did something disgusting
to your dining room table.
I'm joking, I'm joking.
I didn't. I didn't do anything.
I don't care, I just licked your earwax.
I couldn't give a shit, Lesser Tom.
Alright, so what's the prize task, please?
Tonight, our contestants have been asked to bring in
something they consider to be
the weirdest thing to just casually have up one's sleeve.
Alright. Big Dave Hughes, what have you brought for us?
I've brought my Aria award from 2006.
Hang on. Did you have a hit single?
No, they have a comedy section. And I won in 2006. Beat out...
Yeah, thank you.
It was a long time ago.
So, yeah. But they're really heavy and really pointy.
You could kill a burglar with them, no doubt about it.
So, to have it up your sleeve would be only...
It would be good because people could see I'm an award winner,
and I can, you know, kill them. Uh...
Are you saying that you winning an award
is also part of the surprise?
So it's like, because you look like a loser, it's like,
"Hang on, he's a winner."
No, I hear exactly what you're saying.
And, um,
my subconscious is sad.
No, but, yeah. No. Yeah.
Anyway, whatever. I'm rich. Uh...
OK, what have you got, Emma?
Olives.
I'm not talking in the jar.
I'm talking about having those babies loose.
So you've just got loose,
and you got, like, wet, sort of salty water there.
The brine is just a wet sleeve, and... Yeah.
I just can't think of a situation where that wouldn't be strange.
And olives are a superfood. We've got to remember that.
So olives are a superfood. Really...
Are you fighting for me?
I'm just saying they're really healthy food,
and some people are watching at home might not realise.
What do you think this is? The Morning Show?
Are you going to throw to an infomercial?
What's going on?
But I also think the only thing weirder than having olives up your sleeve
is by backing it up with, "They're a superfood."
Yeah, it's pretty weird.
Alright. Lisa, what did you bring in?
After being traumatised by having three children,
you become very reliant on wet wipes.
Yeah. I mean, a pack of them. And I do think you need a pack.
But, you know...
But if you had many,
it could be like a magic trick where they keep...
So that's a fair point. I see what you're saying.
Because if you think of things being hidden up a sleeve,
maybe never-ending hankies is something you would expect,
because it's a classic trick. Yeah.
Are they a superfood?
You know what? Well, they dissolve.
Alright. Tommy.
Um. I bought magic cards.
Oh. Yeah.
And the magic thing about them is that they've got nothing on them.
During lockdown, I took up magic.
And, ironically, the only thing that disappeared was my girlfriend.
Um...
But these were on a magicians website,
and they were like, "You've got to have magic cards."
I have no use for them,
because if you're doing a magic trick and you say "Select a card,"
it's never a blank one.
Tommy, um, just so you know,
you're not meant to use only them while doing magic.
You're meant to incorporate them into existing decks of cards
to fat out the deck, or...
That is where you're wrong.
Because if I use just them, and you pick a card,
I know it's going to be a blank one.
But if I put other cards in there,
how am I ever supposed to know which one you picked?
Not every card trick is "what card did I just pick out?"
Every one that I do is.
OK. So, Waka... Yep.
What would you think would be weird to have up your sleeve?
I think... piercing.
Everyone has a tattoo in the - sleeve. - A piercing?
Body piercing. What, like a pierced ear stored up your sleeve?
I don't understand. Oh, here we go.
Oh! No!
Oh, my God!
What?
Ah!
Hang on...
I did that three days ago.
Oh, you're the best! Oh, my God!
That was my first piercing in my life.
Yeah. First one. I never had a pierce before.
Oh, he's got one, too. He's a nice guy.
He's Adam. And I send a message, "Can I get pierced in the elbow?"
And he goes, "Oh, I never done that." Excited.
And I went there, and he did that before, in case.
He tested on himself? Yeah.
And he also gave me the voucher.
It's called a wenis piercing?
Wenis. This bit.
Is that skin there called your wenis?
You said wenis.
Alright, well, we need some scores now.
So we're looking for weird things to be found up your sleeve.
And I think, straightaway, I think finding cards up a sleeve
is probably really obvious.
So one point to Tommy Little. OK.
Lisa said that she had flushable wipes.
So that's, I reckon, the second-most obvious thing.
So two points to Lisa.
Uh, three points to Hughesy,
because it would be surprising to find out
that he wasn't a loser, he was a winner.
Thanks.
Uh, and then I'm going to give four points to Emma
because I think seeing olives fall out of a sleeve
would be very weird.
But I'm a bit weirded out just by Waka's effort,
by going and getting his wenis pierced.
Five points to Waka!
Alright. Good to get the weirdness of the show finished.
Time for something totally normal.
"Eureka!" is what Archimedes would say
if he got a load of this next task.
Tom. Hi, Lisa. Hi.
I feel like I'm on the Bachelor. You know?
More tasks? Mm-hm.
I missed it, I miss tasks now. I'm task-addiction now.
Wow. I can't wait.
You always look cheeky. Thank you.
That wasn't a compliment.
"Get the ping pong ball out of the bath."
"You cannot touch or cross the rope."
"Nothing you are holding can touch water."
"Fastest wins."
"Your time starts now."
I love that.
Nothing I'm holding can touch water?
That's just impossible.
I have been set up to fail here.
And that is disappointing, because I want to be a winner.
Hughesy, it feels like it's only just dawning on you now
that all the tasks are stacked against you.
But how did I go?
Are you doing your own cliff-hangers?
Seriously, I can't remember how I went.
Alright, well, let's get on with it.
Alright. The first contestants to Ball, Bath and Beyond
are Dave and Emma.
I need a long stick and sticky tape.
Sticky tape and a stick. Sticky tape and a stick!
I'm gonna win this!
I've got long things and duct tape.
I feel like if I can get above it with the duct tape,
I could maybe get it to stick to it.
I can't go over there, can I? No.
I need a longer stick.
Long enough, do you reckon?
Might need one more thing.
Shit, I feel like I'm MacGyver.
Careful.
I just think I'm going to touch the water if I do that.
Alright. Shit. That's long enough, isn't it?
Needs one more thing.
Have you ever had a woman run at you with a golf club before?
Never. Oh.
I've had one run away.
That sounded worse than I intended it.
Tom...
Agh! Did I touch it? I didn't touch the water, did I?
Is that it?
That's it?!
I'm out?
Oh!
Do you want this? Do I want this?
Yeah. No, thank you. OK.
That could have been the high point of my whole series.
And it's over. It was a clear dip.
A clear dip?
We're done? Mm. Unfortunately.
Alright.
So, Emma, that was very good.
It felt like textbook ping-pong no-water-touchy.
- Yeah. - Were you pleased with your efforts?
I really thought I'd touch the water a few times.
I was like very, very strict,
because you can't really see over the...
The angle I was... Tom, you're not listening to me.
The angle...
The angle I was at,
the rim of the bath was covering my line of sight,
so I couldn't actually see, like, what I was touching.
And I kind of just had to go by, like, feel. What?
Yeah. It's pretty impressive.
Hughesy, read about it.
Some sort of Matrix bullshit going on here.
I like the moment, Hughesy, when you ran up the hill
and you yelled out "Sticky tape and a stick,"
to all the crew, who didn't give a shit.
I wasn't happy with how I ran then, and I ran a lot during the series.
So I'm going to be disappointed a lot.
Hughesy, at one point you said you feel like you're MacGyver.
Is that because you also felt like an out-of-date reference?
Yeah. Look, MacGyver was a great show.
You can probably see it on Netflix, do you reckon?
Or Paramount, I would say. Go for Paramount.
Paramount+, well worth every cent you pay.
So, Hughesy was on track to beat Emma
when he did a dip as clear as day.
Emma, with her golf club taped to a stick taped to a pinwheel,
took 11 minutes and 16 seconds.
Alright.
Time to go to a break, because nothing says cliffhanger
like Hughesy mistakenly dipping the tip.
Stay tuned.
Welcome back to Taskmaster.
The competition is still young, and some floaters need a saving.
Right, Tom? That's right.
Our contestants are trying to knock a ping-pong ball out of the bath.
They're not allowed to cross the rope
or touch water with anything they're holding.
Next up, like all the most uncomfortable baths,
we've got three at once.
It's Lisa, Tommy and Waka.
I'm just going to get an oar and tip the bath over.
Oi. Yes?
I think I'm going to win.
Nothing you are holding can touch the water. OK.
I was thinking to put buckets of water.
Put more water. The ball gonna be...
Oh, you mother...
It's heavier than I thought.
Oh! Did you see that?
OK.
Oh. That missed.
I just don't want to break anything.
I've lost my tyre.
Watch out!
Oh! It was pretty good.
Ah!
Quite an attachment to this tyre.
I mean, we could be here a while.
Oh!
Alright, calm down.
Calm down?
Me. I just talk to myself.
Breathe.
Hey, Waka... Don't talk.
OK.
I think...
I'm going back to water again. OK.
I mean, I could have a go on that tyre.
I couldn't get the first one in, so...
...what says that I'm going to get this one in?
Oh!
Come on!
It's impossible.
I'm not having a great day with my throwing.
Oh. Alright.
Is it moving?
How about if you put something heavy through the water?
I feel like maybe I should just throw that tyre at it.
Up to you. OK.
Be careful, everyone.
OK.
Hey!
Ah!
Yes.
Do you think you've beaten the others?
I doubt it.
Three. Two. One.
Uh, so, Waka, you got there in the end.
Yes. You must have felt so relieved.
Yes. I was so sore, whole my body,
because I run so much, the water, fast.
Well, we like to pretend this show is clever
and rewards lateral thinking and being intelligent,
but sometimes it's just fun watching people throw heavy shit into a bath.
What were you thinking, Tommy, with the records?
Were you just trying to fling it out?
Yeah, I thought I was channelling Xena, Warrior Princess,
and I was so agonisingly close about 4,000 times.
I did like the way that you chiselled away at the plughole for a while.
What did that come to? Nothing.
Yeah, but also, plugs often and have a little grate at the bottom of it.
So you could have drained the whole bath,
and then the ping-pong would have been sitting at the bottom of the bath.
Mm.
Thank God we didn't get to - that. - Yeah.
Now, Lisa, I feel like your tyre-spotting skills were not...
No. I know! ...were not ideal.
I was trying to create a tidal - wave. - Yeah.
It just took a while.
But I didn't have my glasses - on. - OK.
Can I just say I took a promo shot in that bath later on in the series.
So, yeah. Nude.
And the relevance of that was...?
Well, check the Daily Mail.
And, Hughes, when you were in the bath, nude,
was everyone throwing tyres at you, trying to get you out?
I feel like we need some results here, some scores.
OK, well, Lisa took 6 minutes and 10 seconds.
Oh, my God! I'm close!
Tommy took just five seconds more, 6 minutes and 15 seconds.
Waka spent 19 minutes just running back and forth,
filling up buckets of water,
and, in total, took 31 minutes and 34 seconds.
OK, so, Hughesy's disqualified.
That's right. Hughesy's on zero. Waka gets two points.
Emma takes home three. Tommy gets four.
But Lisa wins the task, with five points. Oh, my God!
I won a task!
And in terms of the episode,
Dave and Tommy are trailing the pack on three and five,
with Emma, Lisa and Waka all on seven points apiece.
Alright.
With that all washed away, we'd better get to the next one, Cashman.
This task will be unfamiliar to Tom Gleeson's loyal fans
because, unlike nothing sus,
this is about encouraging a medium amount of sus-ness.
Hi, Lisa. Hello.
How are you? So many cushions again.
So many cushions. Unnecessary.
I apologise. Don't worry. Ooh!
Pineapple. Yeah.
Is it real or fake? Real.
Is it?
Real.
Alright, let's do it, man.
"Do something sus, but not too sus with this pineapple."
"Most sus loses."
"Least sus get two points."
"Secondly-sus gets three points."
"Second-most sus gets four points."
"Middle-most sus wins."
"You have 20 minutes."
"Your time starts now."
Do you do many things that are sus?
Not with a pineapple.
I'm a bit sus, according to my wife. I'm a bit sneaky.
I don't think I'm a sus person.
You're not the least-sus person.
Yeah. That's Malala.
I'm just trying to work out who I think would do the most-sus.
What the others would do.
Yeah, I don't know how wild Lisa McCune is.
'Cause she might be like, "Well, everyone's going to shove this up their ass," so...
And what? Do it twice?
How do you do it twice?
There will be others who are better at this than me.
Those with more sick minds.
Well, I mean, we're all thinking it.
I'm going to say it.
Up my arse.
This is already the second time in this series
that Tommy Little's solution has been to jam something up his arse.
Alright, well, who do we have first, Lesser Tom?
Our first sus attempt to suss out is Emma Holland.
Hello. Welcome to my nice and normal shop.
It's so wholesome here.
Oh. Hi, Tom. Sorry, customer.
I'm just here to do my weekly shopping.
Well, let me just start checking that out for you.
Is it just me or there's a weird energy around here?
I don't know what you're talking about.
Does anyone want to buy me cigarettes?
Oh. Hey, Tom. Welcome to my wholesome skate park
where nothing sus happens.
How's it going? Are you doing well with the kickflips?
Yeah, I'm doing ollies.
Oh, that's fantastic. Yeah.
Is it just me, or is there a bit of a weird energy around here?
I don't know what you're talking about.
You guys don't have any cigarettes, do you?
Welcome to border security.
Do you have anything to - declare? - No.
There's something strange. I'm getting a strange energy from you.
I don't know what you're talking about.
I'm getting ciggies duty-free!
Emma, I feel like you were going for real medium-level sus energy there.
Do you think you achieved it? I don't know.
Tom just was like, what's the most sus you can think of?
And I said, loitering outside a shopping centre.
Yeah, that's some real mid-level sus-ness.
But it's still sus, though.
And is that not what we are trying to achieve here?
Yeah, I was pretty impressed by it.
The only thing I'm concerned about is, technically,
were you doing something sus WITH a pineapple,
or was a pineapple being sus near you?
- That's semantics. - Maybe you weren't being sus at all.
That's all linguistics.
I think what's important is how you feel.
And let's refer back to the previous 30 seconds.
So I shouldn't use logic or the rules.
I should just go on how I feel.
Absolutely. The way women do.
Well, like an idiot would say to their way-hotter girlfriend
right before going backpacking,
we need to go on a break.
See you after this.
Welcome back to Taskmaster,
where competitors are trying to be sus,
but not the most sus.
Yeah, also not the least sus.
They're trying to be medium amount of sus.
Medium. Medium.
Medium level of sus-ness.
Grouped these two together because they have one-track minds.
It's Dave and Tommy.
I'm just gonna end up sticking a pineapple down my pants,
aren't I?
Can I put it down the front of my pants?
You're just going to put it in your pants and go for a wander.
Wander around and see if anyone notices. See if you notice.
Do you want to play a game? Sure.
Let's play pineapple pants... parachute.
Do you want me to put a parachute on it?
Yes. OK.
Let's go.
What are we going to do this afternoon?
I've got a problem. I don't think I can get my pants open enough.
- What's the solution? - The parachute pineapple penis drop.
And I'll just lie down and you just drop it on my penis.
OK, you've got 23 seconds. OK. Hang on.
I'm gonna guess... no pineapple.
Am I correct?
You being genuine right now?
Yep.
What's the answer?
Is it down your pants or not?
Oh, no.
I need to wax.
It was.
OK. Pineapple penis drop, go.
Pineapple penis drop, go!
Oh... Pineapple penis drop, go!
Oh!
How are you feeling? Are you OK?
I wasn't expecting to say this,
but could you do me another round?
OK.
I was quite proud of how accurate I was, to be honest.
What, are you saying the target wasn't... big?
I wasn't saying that, but your insecurity in that area
makes me think that perhaps it wasn't.
Do you think it's down my pants?
You're standing in quite a strange way now.
I suspect that that's because you're trying to make it now look like
you DO have something down your pants.
I'm going to again guess that
you don't have a pineapple down your pants.
Your final guess? That's my final guess.
It's still down my pants, man.
I've been an absolute fool.
I think I've won this game.
Thanks, Tom. Thanks, Tommy.
Hughesy and Tommy have both done a lot of commercial radio,
and I feel like you both went for the most obvious things straightaway.
But I feel like there was
almost nothing sus about yours at all, Tommy.
It just felt like it had Jackass vibes.
Yes, it did.
And can I just say, contrary to popular belief,
it did not make my taste sweeter, so...
Wow. Wow.
Have you had that joke in your back pocket for about two months?
Nah...
I just thought of it, but I got nervous to say it.
Did you have any protection?
I mean, that was a very dangerous thing to do, honestly.
Yes, Hughesy, I was wearing a condom the whole time.
Alright, so I feel like yours wasn't very sus at all, Tommy, to be fair.
But, Hughesy, just you walking out from behind a garden shed
with no pineapple in your pants
really sus.
SO sus!
Yeah. I don't know what happened to the pineapple.
I think it might have ended up being eaten.
And I hope it was because, you know what?
Wasting food is a sin, so...
I reckon what you did to that pineapple was a sin.
And that's a superfood, you know that.
OK, let's see the next one.
Least-familiar with the slang word,
but all too familiar with the concept -
it's Takashi Wakasugi.
Thank you so much for coming. Thank you, thank you.
Last night, the giraffe got killed by someone.
Murdered. He was hit by something.
Something hard. Wow.
In this house, only five animals.
One of these characters committed the murder?
I think so.
Also, next to the giraffe, there's something like this.
Oh, these are the potential - weapons. - Yeah.
Who did that?
And what's... the weapon?
Who has to guess?
Us. OK.
I'm detective. You can see!
The jacket.
I'm doing sus, or I'm...
You're a suspect?
I was there. I think I was there, too.
What a switch. I didn't see that coming.
The person is very dangerous, angry person.
We found blood.
This is the weapon killed the giraffe.
Did you do that? No, I swear.
Did you do it? No, no.
Don't sus. I do sus. Oh, sorry.
You doing sus?
I got sussed by you.
I'm not sure what you're - saying. - Me neither.
Wait.
Oh, my goodness, that's a bit of blood on the end of the robot.
It's open and shut. Yeah.
Robot, did you do this?
Let's find out.
Last night.
This is a recreation? Yeah.
I think I was there, too.
The person is very dangerous, angry person.
Did you do it? No, no.
Shit.
We found blood.
It's open and shut. Yeah.
Was that a recreation of you doing it?
I still don't know what is sus, but...
That's why I did both.
I did sus and I got sussed.
Sorry, we've got 20 seconds left.
Can you please clarify who did the crime?
Me.
So, Waka, you said you did sus and you got sussed.
That's the... I still don't understand what sus means.
Yeah, well, you... What's a sussy people?
Well, in Australian slang,
'sus' is short for 'suspicious'.
Yeah. So get suspicion, or you will suspic...
Dodgy. You're dodgy.
You're like... You're dodgy.
Hey, man. Come on, come on.
Jesus.
Yeah. I feel like it was the first whodunnit
where we were trying to figure out
who was the culprit and who was the detective.
I...got so confused.
I thought it was so clever. I loved it.
And I still don't know what is sus yet.
I felt like I was watching a thriller.
When you sat down, I'm like, "Oh, my God."
Alright, well, who's next, Cashman?
Probably the least likely to act sus -
thank God she's good at acting - it's Lisa McCune.
Oh, God.
Miss Penelope.
Master Tom.
Thank you for calling me a master.
I'm here because I'm a gentleman caller.
And I'm interested in your hand.
As a lady, I can't actually come out and tell you how much I love you.
I mean, I didn't say that, but I...I admire you.
Oh.
And I've been thinking how I could signify it for you,
to show you how much I care.
Oh, that'd be great.
Oh, my God.
Is that a pineapple?
Don't let anybody see. Of course not.
It's been between my legs. It's for you to eat.
Oh.
Bit intense, but I appreciate it.
Someone's coming! I must be off.
Oh, my God!
He didn't do that to my pineapple, did he?
It, unfortunately, was the same pineapple.
Oh, no!
That is just so bad.
I got a visual on that. It was not good.
So, Lisa, the sus action was that you had a pineapple - between your legs. - Yeah.
But I find you so wholesome that even when you said that,
I thought "That sounds reasonable. She was probably keeping it warm."
I could think of no other connotations. I didn't think of it like that.
I thought the pearl necklace and everything was really sus.
I thought that there were other things going on.
That is the most rich-lady thing I've ever heard in my life.
I know. I'm trying... I'm just trying to get some points.
So I think it's going to be easier for me
if I just work through order of sus-ness,
and then we allocate the points afterwards.
So these aren't the points,
but I think the least-sus had to be Waka
because he didn't even know what sus meant.
I watched everything and I still don't get it.
Yeah, well there you go.
And then I'm going to say Lisa McCune is second-least sus.
I'm saying the most sus is Dave Hughes.
Just him lurking near any building looks sus, straight up.
The second-most sus is Emma.
The pineapple looking for cigarettes was really quite sus in the end,
but, weirdly enough, landing right in the middle...
...just by a process of elimination is Tommy Little.
So Dave Hughes was most sus, so he gets one point.
Waka gets two points.
Don't try and start your own applause.
Lisa gets three. Emma gets four.
But Tommy takes the task, with five points.
OK, things are spicing up,
so use this break to crack out the yoghurt.
See you in a bit.
Welcome back to Taskmaster,
the show that's tremendous for the viewer,
turbulent for the players,
and tedious for me.
We've seen it all so far, - Cashman. - That's right.
We've rescued a ping-pong ball from a bath
and a pineapple from Dave Hughes's pants.
Now we're off to a warehouse
that will have you asking where is the house?
It's our first ever journey to a different location.
Ooh.
Hi, Tommy. Hey, Tom.
Hi, Lisa. Hi, Tom.
How are you? I'm OK.
This is a big room!
It feels like the final scene in, like, a drug movie or something.
I can't tell you how much I love opening these.
"Move a box over the red line."
"Each turn, you must hide behind a box."
"If Tom guesses the box, you're behind..."
"..all boxes must be returned to the start."
"If Tom fails to guess the box you are behind,
"you may move your boxes forward."
"The number of box moves you can make
"is the row number of the box you successfully hid behind."
Once a box is past the red line...
"..you must deceive Tom one more time."
"Least hidings to get a box over the line wins."
"Your time starts now."
OK. OK, great. That's so much fun.
OK, let the hiding begin.
Alright, we're at a new location there, which I love.
But, just to get this right,
it's a benefit to hide behind a box in row five,
because then you get to move the box five places.
That's right.
But, at the same time, you're going to more likely guess that they're there
because they're going to go for that advantage.
Unless they're double-tricking. OK.
And then the mind games begin.
OK, Lesser Tom, who's sneaking around first?
Like a well-endowed cricketer,
they're hoping a box will be enough to protect them.
It's Emma, Lisa and Tommy.
I'm going to choose to involve mind games as well.
I'm going to hide behind this box here.
Five. Four.
Three. Two.
One.
I officially predict that you are behind the a-bit-left box.
The middle box? No.
The extreme-left box.
I'm going to hide behind this box again.
The a-bit-left box. Damn it!
The extreme-right box. Damn it.
The middle box. That's incorrect.
You can now move two spaces. Oh!
I'm going to hide behind the middle box.
The middle box.
How did you do it?
The extreme-left box.
How are you so good at this?
I'm in your head, Emma.
I'm gonna hide behind the middle box.
The middle box. Damn it!
The middle box.
I just need you to know if you guess right on this one,
I might have a breakdown.
I predict you're behind the a-bit-left box.
Tom!
The extreme-right box.
What?
The a-bit-right box.
What the [BLEEP!]?
The a-bit-right box.
The middle box.
The extreme-right box.
You are behind the a-bit-right box.
No. I was correct.
Please move all boxes back to the start. Oh, no. Did you...
I thought you said the extreme-right. Sorry.
That was me getting a bit cross.
Are you ready for the next - hiding. - Yeah. Let's go.
Congratulations. You've got a box over the line.
You must deceive me one final time.
Five. Four.
Three.
Two. One.
I heard what I would describe as performative footsteps just then.
Does this mean you're in the middle box?
You are behind the a-bit-left box.
Which one?
Not that one.
Yes! Yes! Yes!
The a-bit-left box.
You idiot!
Yes!
I'm going to predict
that you are behind the a-bit-right box.
Oh.
Let me out of here! Agh!
This task looked very stressful.
Yeah. Which I really enjoyed.
But let's just start with the Tommy Little mind games.
Mm.
Your mind game was you kept telling him when you were going to hide,
and then you kept doing it,
several times in a row.
Yes.
Talk me through the mind games.
Because I thought he'd think, at some point,
that I'd start lying to him.
But I would never.
And so I kept telling the truth, and he kept guessing the truth.
Lisa, why do I feel like it's totally in character
that you losing your temper was just softly pushing over a box
and then straightaway apologising for it?
Well, because I didn't want to really lose it in front of Tom
because I didn't want to scare him.
We were in a lonely warehouse with boxes.
I didn't want to scare him.
You didn't.
Emma, you took your shoes off.
Do you think that was the winning move?
I just need you to know I hated every second of that.
I took my shoe off and put it just next to a box
so you could just see my shoe,
to make Tom think I was behind another box.
And did you hide behind that box?
Uh, sometimes. See, Tommy.
So sometimes yes, sometimes no, not every single time.
Not every single time.
It's good to know NOW.
So we're measuring the number of hiding rounds.
Emma took 45 rounds for her to complete the game.
Tommy's mind games still took him 35 hiding rounds,
but Lisa only took 26 hidings to get over the line.
Oh, my God! I've found my calling.
Alright. Cashman, another.
He's already deceived me with pineapple in the pants -
will he deceive me again?
It's Hughesy.
Three. Two. One.
I predict you are behind the middle box.
Ha-ha!
The middle box.
Three. Two. One.
The extreme-right box.
The a-bit-right box.
I'm a bit left, aren't I?
Good.
The middle box.
Ha!
Yeah? Wow.
What a lovely box that would be to hide behind.
Are you going to do it on the next round?
I honestly don't know right now.
Let the hiding begin.
Three. Two. One.
I predict that you were hiding behind the extreme left box.
Ah!
He did it. I'm over.
I need to do you one more time.
Three. Two. One.
I'm turning around.
I predict you are behind the a-bit-left box.
Yah!
Dave!
Oh, my goodness.
You just couldn't get me, could you? Didn't get me once.
No. You didn't beat me once!
Thanks, Dave. Thank you.
So, Hughesy, is this the first time
you've sailed through something in your career
and found something very easy that everyone else struggles with?
It was amazing, and I can tell you, the film crew,
they carried me from their shoulders. It was...
We had an early lunch that day.
It was wonderful. And I just, yeah, I hope my kids are watching.
Um, your daddy did it.
OK. Should we reveal how many moves?
So Dave finished in just 11 minutes and 51 seconds,
taking only eight rounds.
Eight rounds.
Alright, it's time for a break. See you soon.
Welcome back to Taskmaster,
where the contestants, playing a game true to my heart,
hide from Tom Cashman.
That's right. We've just got one left, and it's Waka.
Three. Two. One.
I predict you are behind the extreme-right box.
It's so much fun, I like it.
Can I do this?
The a-bit-right box.
This is great idea, doing this?
I don't see how it changes much, to be honest.
The middle box.
Huh? Why you can find it.
It's, like, five options.
The extreme-right box.
Yeah, I love it. I'm enjoying it.
You are behind the middle box.
That's crazy.
The entire pants behind the middle box.
The middle box.
Am I stupid or are you just amazing?
Those options are not mutually exclusive.
You are behind the a-bit-right box.
Damn it!
Thank you. Thank you.
The extreme-left box.
You have two box moves.
Two. Why?
The number of box moves you get is the row that the box is on.
Oh!
Yeah. I was behind the number 2.
The extreme-right box.
The middle box.
The extreme-right box.
The a-bit-right box.
The extreme-left box.
That makes me scared, actually.
You know, I was surprised, but now I'm scared.
The a-bit-right box.
The extreme-right box.
The middle box.
Now, finally, I understand this task.
You're behind the a-bit-right box.
Please take all boxes back to the start.
Nothing much I can say anymore.
Three. Two. One.
I'm turning around.
I saw the socks being thrown.
You're behind the extreme-left box.
That's genuinely amazing.
I'm turning around.
The a-bit-left box.
Yes! Socks is the best.
You're behind the middle box.
The a-bit-left box.
The extreme-right box.
The a-bit-right box.
Oh, I accidentally said a-bit-right box.
I meant a-bit-left box, but...
Oh, my God, I was right.
The middle box. The middle box.
The extreme-left box.
One, two, three.
You must deceive me one more time.
Thank you so much for this task.
Don't talk like it's over, Waka.
This is final box.
Three. Two. One.
Where are you, Waka?
I predict you are behind the middle box.
Yeah!
Oh!
Waka, that was exhausting to watch.
Me too. You know, it's fun task.
And, at first, everyone enjoys, it sounds like kids' game.
In the middle, I start thinking about what is life.
So, with that last one, was your heart racing?
I didn't feel anything.
There's no emotion.
Just no emotion?
I did everything in my life,
like, experience, knowledge, everything, I tried it,
and didn't work.
So I didn't feel anything.
Alright, well, I feel like we need to find out how he did.
Waka took 103 rounds,
and 1 hour, 35 minutes and 51 seconds.
So Waka takes one point. Emma gets two.
Tommy gets three. Lisa gets four.
But Hughesy takes out the task with five points!
And, in terms of our episode,
it's close at the top of the leaderboard,
with Tommy and Emma on 13 points.
But one luckier - it's Lisa,
leading the episode with 14 points at the moment.
Oh, really? Oh, wow.
Well, no time for Waka-level mucking around.
Let's get you all up on stage for the live task.
Alright, Lesser Tom, set the scene.
I think I'm going to ask Emma to read this task.
My olives!
Sorry, sorry.
"Do some acting.
"In turns, choose a scene from a trophy, then act it out.
"The two most brilliant actors
"and the two most terrible actors will proceed to the next round.
"You get 10 seconds for each scene."
So I'm going to ask Lisa to act first.
If the other four of you could please sit down here?
Oh, OK.
Oh, you...
...you...
I said it, I said it.
Emma, you're up next.
Well, howdy, partner. You come down this saloon often?
Tommy.
What?
No. No, he's not mine.
No, it doesn't look... This happens all the t... He's not mine.
Waka is next.
Oh...!
I love you!
Ooh, this martini is so nice.
So maybe you want some...
I would say that Lisa was the best.
Waka was second-best.
The two worst was Tommy and Dave.
That means Emma is eliminated.
And now for round two, only the most brilliant
and the most terrible acting will go through.
Tommy, you are the first actor.
Come on! Papa needs this!
Come on! Come on!
Yes! Yes! Did he? Did he? Did he?
He did!
Waka, you're up next.
Red or blue? Red or blue?
Which one? Red or blue?
Blue!
Lisa is up next.
And I believe that that man
is not the man who you want leading this nation.
Dave.
Mmm, what should I buy today?
Young man, can you help me?
Can you...? Is it? Is it?
Is it Jimmy?!
I am your father!
So it's pretty easy for me.
Lisa's at the top. Hughes is at the bottom.
Oh. OK, great.
Waka and Tommy are eliminated.
Alright. We've seen a lot of acting up there on the stage.
I feel like I've been part of the theatre.
See you after the interval.
Welcome back to Taskmaster.
We're in the throes of witnessing some Oscar-worthy
and some Golden Raspberry-worthy performances.
Tom, what have we got?
For this, the final round, the person who wins
will be the person who does the most terrible acting.
Lisa, you are the first actor.
Da... ve... He... He shot me in the back.
Hughes. Mm?
Just be yourself.
Come on, Jimmy.
Jimmy! Jimmy! Jimmy!
It's daddy!
Come to daddy!
Oh, my God!
OK. Come on down and let's get the final scores.
Alright, so who is cleaning up at the awards season
for their acting, Lesser Tom?
Well, you have the unenviable task of choosing who is the worst actor,
Lisa McCune or Dave Hughes.
I suspect that Hughesy decided to try to act really well,
and, in so doing it, was horrible.
So I think the worst performance was Hughesy.
OK. Thank you.
That means Emma takes one point. Waka and Tommy both get three.
Lisa gets four, but Dave Hughes wins the task, for five points.
Thank you. That's have two - wins. - Two wins, Hughesy.
And what does that do for the whole episode?
Well, Waka's on 13 points.
Dave and Emma, both on 14, Tommy on 16.
But Lisa has won the episode, with 18 points!
Oh, my God.
Alright, congrats, Lisa.
Get up onto that stage to claim your prize.
Well, what have we learnt?
Waka taught us what a wenis is by mutilating his,
and a poor pineapple learnt that even being a superfood
won't save you from Hughes's undies.
Good work, Lisa!
Don't forget to thank your agent and the academy.
Good night!
Welcome back to Taskmaster,
where we've just been hanging out with our wangs out.
Can I pee, or....?
You dickheads!
Are you not entertained?
If you are on Reddit at the moment,
you can all go yourselves.
