Ta-da!
Oh!
Nutsack!
Welcome, everybody, to Taskmaster.
The show is called Taskmaster, and I am Jeremy Wells.
And I am the Taskmaster.
I just welcomed you to a show and to myself.
A few months ago, I set five comedians
a series of novel and at times frustrating tasks.
They attempted to do them. We filmed them with cameras,
and tonight, I will judge them on what they did and how they did it.
The winner at the end of one grueling season will receive my head,
immortalized as a statue
and made slightly less golden than the real thing.
Let's meet our competitors. They are the same people as every week,
but I'll say their names because they like it when people clap.
They are Angela Dravid
Brynley Stent
Guy Williams
Leigh Hart
and Madeleine Sami.
As always, I am joined and assisted
by the man who refuses to live in the shadow
of his more famous siblings,
Guy, Venus, and Serena. It's Paul Williams.
I'm feeling really good tonight.
Last episode, I found out I got extremely thirsty,
so they actually customized my jacket with a hydration system.
Ok. Where's that coming out of?
So that just goes into there. I've got a chocolate milkshake.
Wow.
Just built in there.
That wouldn't be my first choice of drink, chocolate milkshake.
No, neither. I'm a vanilla guy, so I've got that on this side.
Just there.
Paul was present for the recording of all the tasks
at our top secret Taskmaster ranch,
being my eyes on the ground,
enforcing my rules and generally bringing down the vibe on set.
Just doing as I was told.
Yeah, well,
would you like to explain our first task, please, Paul?
Our first task is a prize task.
Each competitor has donated something to the prize haul.
The Taskmaster will decide who has done it the best,
and the person with the most points at the end of the show
will win all five things.
Tonight they were asked to bring in the least useful item.
Ok, let's dig in and examine our haul.
Uh, Guy, we're gonna start with you.
I bought the smoke alarm from the Sky City Convention Centre.
Ruined New Zealand, that smoke alarm.
- So is it actually the smoke alarm? - It's the smoke alarm.
- Of course it is. - Or is it just a smoke alarm
that you've burnt?
No, no. It's the smoke alarm. I got it at a police auction.
I was trying to win another useless invention
David Bain's gun safe but I got the smoke alarm instead.
Ok. Angela, what did you bring along?
I brought in a chapstick, um, for your...
You brought along chapstick for your...
For your labia.
- Labia. - Uh, yeah.
That's just a...
I think it's strawberry scented.
Nothing worse than chapped lips, Jeremy. You know that.
Yeah, you really don't wanna get a DAP.
What's a DAP?
A Dry Ass Pussy. So...
...something like that is really good to have.
- Should we move on from this? - Yeah.
Mads, what did you bring in?
So Roomba. I call my one 'Roombot', but it's useless,
because it acts like it's really useful,
cuz it says, 'I'm a vacuum that can go around automatically,
and you I have to do the work,'
but the batteries don't last,
and they die in really inconvenient places and then you can’t find them.
Like, we literally lost out for months.
Well, I feel like it might be user error.
Maybe it's trying to escape you cuz you're a bad owner.
Leigh, what did you bring in?
Angela might enjoy my one, actually. This could be quite helpful.
So we've got this this nozzle spray thing, which
How dry do you think my pussy is?
That's got 'mist'. It's got 'soaker'. It's got 'jet'.
- It's got 'spray'. - Those are the same settings I have.
And it plugs in, but I can only kind of hose stuff in this kind of vicinity.
You'd think that if you did attach another hose to that, though,
it could be incredibly useful.
Well, that's I didn't know you could do that.
Brynley.
Hi. I put in a condom with the end cut off.
It was useful, though, wasn't it? But you sabotaged it.
Yeah. So now is the least useful thing.
I mean, you just bring in a car and just smash up the engine
with a baseball bat and then be like
Yeah, but you brought in a fire alarm. That was once useful as well.
It was not useful cuz the building burned down.
Read the news. Educate yourself.
But I also don't believe that yours is from the actual fire.
Oh, here comes the allegations now.
I reckon she sabotaged that condom.
I reckon she burned down the SkyCity Convention Centre.
Ok, maybe stop squibbling. I may as well judge this one.
I mean, whoever wins this tonight is going to
take home some absolute pile of shit. It's gotta be said.
So three points for everyone.
- And, Mads, you get one point. - Oh.
Because, Madeleine, that Roomba is inspirational
for a lot of our viewers.
Ok. Cool, man. Buy one and let's talk later.
Let's talk out after you've had it for a couple of months.
It will haunt you.
She's quite scary when she does that.
Ok. So that puts four people in first place
Leigh, Guy, Brynley, and Angela all with three points.
Ok.
All right. Is it time for the first task?
It most definitely is.
And this one should appeal to all,
but mainly to all the dendrophiles out there.
I'm coming.
Why are you so far away?
Don't film this bit.
- Hello, Angela. - Hello.
This feels like The Bachelor.
Why'd I start all the way over here?
We needed a tree.
Yeah.
'Make this tree sexy.'
'Sexiest tree wins.'
How am I gonna make a tree sexy?
It's already sexy, in many ways.
I mean, I often think that the sexiest thing is
something being turned on by itself.
You know what I mean? Are you with me?
Not really.
Maybe some lipstick.
Or...
No. That don't really show up.
I think I made out with a tree.
So what's the sexiest tree you've ever seen, Paul?
Pohutakawa in bloom, set to the song of the tui.
Sounds very alluring. Shall we have a look at some flora?
We shall.
Up first, his name rhymes with 'tree bark'. It's Leigh Hart.
Nowadays, people tend to... downstairs maybe a little bit more.
Do we have a weed-eater?
Look, I don't want to overdo it, as I say, it's not the 70s.
But it could get trendy again, having a little bit down there.
Actually, you might want to check this out, I'll take you through what I've got.
For myself, I have the one and only Salma Hayek.
- She's an angel. - She certainly is. And that's
I mean, I could leave it at that. And for me, that's about enough.
The obvious thing would be to put that there.
I'm not going to do that. I'm going to put it around here instead, Paul.
Chris Hemsworth. This is for the ladies, lady viewers.
There you go. It's not going anywhere.
And finally, what I'd probably do seeing you brought the guitar,
this is a little song I wrote a few years back myself.
♪ Wise... ♪
That's what I can do legally,
cuz they'll rip us up in music if I do much more than that.
- But what do you think? - Chris didn't get a lot of the song.
No. But as I say, it's an option. It's an option.
You mentioned something about leaving a little bit for the '70s,
but I assume that nobody was trimming anything in the 1970s.
Well, that's exactly right. If we were doing the show in the '70s,
I would've probably been bringing in stuff...
and piling it around the tree. You know?
And this is not from memory, of course.
I'm not old enough to remember that, other than my parents.
God, where am I going with this?
All right. So who do we go to the next, Paul?
Up next is Angela.
And I'd like to make this very clear
I am contractually obligated to play this video,
and I'm very, very sorry.
Take your pants off.
And, like, grind up against it like it's mince.
- Like it's what? - I don't know what else you grind.
Ok. I'm gonna squirt oil on you.
- It went in my mouth a little bit. - These are kinda hurting.
Ok. Maybe you can take them off.
Maybe, like, put this on, though.
It's pretty cold.
I guess, like, smear it all over your body.
- This chocolate? - Yeah, like sexy.
It looks like you're doing...
- Cultural. - Yeah, misappropriation.
Ok, I think that's I think that's sexy.
Angela, did you make the tree sexy or did you just make Paul sexy?
I think the tree was sexy.
I would argue that when someone goes to a strip club,
they don't leave thinking, 'Wow, those poles.'
What if it's a Polish bar?
- How are your nipples? - They've recovered.
I kissed them better.
I'm starting to get concerned
about the story arc that's starting to develop between you two.
- Anyone else with me on this? - Yep. Yep.
I wasn't gonna bring it up, Jeremy. I'm glad you did, there's...
I need that chapstick.
- I don't think you do. - I don't think you needed the chapstick.
Ok.
You can all take the next three minutes to either watch some ads
or wash Paul Williams' oily back out of your memory with soap.
Either way, we'll see you soon.
Welcome back to Taskmaster,
the only show that dares to make comedians get up in the morning.
Paul Williams, what on earth is going on?
Our contestants have been tasked
with turning a regular tree into a sexy tree.
So far, we've seen one sexy tree and one sexy Paul Williams.
- Would you like to see more? - I'd gladly look at more of either.
Thankfully, the next one is a tree. Here's Brynley Stent.
Feminism is sexy,
and if you don't agree with me, then you're a fucking sexist.
Do you want to be a sexist, Jeremy Wells?
I told you before, Brynley, I will not be threatened.
Although, like all sane men in the current climate,
I will be awarding you with maximum points
no matter what my true feelings may be.
I think that's a wise decision.
Who should we go to next, Paul?
This next attempt is one from Madeleine
who is making a direct play for the Taskmaster's heart
with this very six-y attempt.
- Sexy? - Six-y.
Oh, yeah. If you can hit this one...
well, you probably can't, you silly, bloody Kiwi, sexy Kiwi bloody cricketer.
There we go, you bloody sexy Kiwi.
Six off the last ball. Good luck.
Waltzing Matilda.
Fuck!
Sexy and good at cricket. Nah, not fair.
A very bold assumption, Mads,
that my love of cricket actually arouses me.
- But it does. - Yes.
So that actually paid off.
I can't believe that we're gonna put that on television,
cuz for me, that's essentially pornography, what I saw there.
I knew it. I knew it. I knew it.
She was very method in the role.
Like, even when they weren't filming, she stayed in character.
And that character's name was Brett Shane Brett.
I figured what's, like, the most Aussie name you could come up with,
and I thought, 'Brett,' and then I thought 'Shane,'
and I thought, 'Why not double Brett?'
Yeah. All right. I think we've almost seen enough sexy stuff,
although I believe Guy is still to come?
Unfortunately, yes.
I'd like to make this very clear again
that I'm contractually obligated to play this,
and I'm very, very sorry.
All right. I'm Guy, and this is my sexy tree.
I'm sorry. This is the best I could do.
I mean, I'm not looking at it, but
I think it looks almost identical,
but you were just in the naked.
Yeah. And I'm the sexiest man on TV guide's sexiest man on box 2014.
So...
Ok.
Thank you, Guy.
Thank you, Paul.
- Do you need help? - A little bit, yeah.
How good! How good!
Yeah. Yeah.
Thank you.
You could argue that by you being nude in a tree,
you actually made the tree look sexy by your comparison to it.
- Yeah, I'll take that. - I'll take that!
It took less than a minute for him to settle on that idea.
And unfortunately, Guy's process was not as simple as one would have liked.
Here's some exclusive behind the scenes footage.
It's gonna be a sexy-as-hell tree.
I'm gonna go full nude. I feel like I have to to make it sexy.
I can turn around if-
- Yeah, turn around. - Ok.
Everyone turn around.
There's nowhere to take my pants off.
Paul, I don't wanna ask you for too much help,
but can you help peel my underwear off
while I hold my genitals, please?
- Ok. Shall I close my eyes? - Yeah, I reckon.
Just come around the tree and just help pull down my pants.
Yeah, that's my leg.
Just come up here and pull down my pants.
- Which leg is this right or left? - That is the right leg.
Come a bit higher. Higher, higher.
Yeah, there we go. Just give it a yank.
Yeah.
All right.
Is that the first time you've ever pulled down your brother's undies?
Yes. And definitely the last time.
I can't remember doing that, I've, like, blacked out.
I think if I saw a naked man in a tree
I'd call the police.
I agree. Yeah.
I'd be like, 'There's a man who looks like Guy Williams
possibly masturbating in a tree.'
Whoa. Whoa. Whoa. Whoa. Whoa. There was no masturbation happened.
Were you masturbating in that tree?
His brother helped.
No. She's just adding in weird details.
Was he masturbating in that tree?
I can't confirm or deny.
I had my eyes covered.
In all honesty, he may have got more points if he did.
Ok. Brynley, you're gonna get five points
cuz I'm fearful of some kind of feminist reprisal.
- Thank you. That's wise. - And, Madeleine,
I think you should get four points...
Thank you.
...because you actually made a 14-year-old titoki
hit the ball over the middle of the bat, which is quite sensational.
Guy, three points
for your commitment to nudity inside of a tree.
- I like that. - Thank you.
Leigh, two points for copyright infringement. We can't have that
- going forward on the show. - Yeah.
And, Angela, one point.
I don't even want to talk more about what happened between you and Paul.
It was sexy.
I feel like after all that it must be scoreboard time, Paul?
Yes. Brynley out in front with eight points.
But it's pretty tight. Guy is just two points behind on six.
All right.
Do you know...
I've already got more points
than I got in the whole last game, so I'm nailing it.
- It might be your night tonight. - Yeah. I'm feeling pretty good.
Probably won't be, but still, it might be.
What have you got for me now, Williams? Another task, I suppose.
Correct, Wells, and it's the first team task.
And while that last one was very horny, this one is very brassy.
Stop doing puns about tasks before anyone knows what the task is. It doesn't work.
Yeah, I'm sorry. I don't even know what that last one meant.
Let's just watch it.
- Paul, how are ya? - Good, thank you.
Hi, Paul.
- Tuba. - Uh-huh.
Grapes.
- Takes me back. - Takes you back to when?
Oh, back to back to my orchestra days.
- How's it going? - Hey, Guy.
- Nice to see you, Bryn. - Good to see you too.
How are you?
- Very good. Nice outfit. - Thank you. This is my costume.
This is my costume.
Damn you. Well, you kick the shit out of me.
I used to spend a bit of time in the orchestra, playing the violin.
Ah.
- Hey. - Hey, how are you going?
- Yeah, good. - You're in on this as well?
Yeah.
Oh, it must be a group challenge.
- Oh. - Wh- heyyy
You two look great together.
You're look like you're
- about to do a double act. - We're in love. We're in love.
- Wow. - Yeah, thank you.
Ok. Um, well, you better open up the
I'm a huge fan, by the way.
- Oh, same. - Yeah. Oh.
- Of myself - Yeah.
No, no, no. Of yours.
- Shall we do the task? - Yeah.
Yeah.
Do you want to open it?
I'm gonna open it and you can read it.
Ok. 'Catch a grape with this tuba from the furthest distance.
You may not throw the grape.
'Your distance will be measured
from the first grape successfully caught.'
'Bonus points available for playing a lovely song on the tuba
or catching the grape.'
'You have 20 minutes. Your time starts...'
Now!
I'm absolutely fizzing to see how our teams approach this next task
but even more excited to hear from my good friends
in the world of advertising
So let's do that first. We'll see you in a bit.
Welcome back to Taskmaster,
where five top tier comedians are vying for a tube of labia lipstick.
Paul, why don't you let us know what is about to happen?
If I recall correctly,
it's something to do with a grape and a tuba.
It's almost exactly that.
We've split our contestants into two teams.
They have to devise a way to get a grape
into a tuba from very far away.
The first successful attempt is the one that counts,
so you don't want to start too close.
- Couldn't be more simple. - Almost too simple if you ask me.
- Shall we see the first team? - Let's.
Here's Leigh and Angela.
- Can you play? - I'll give it a go. Yeah.
Hang on. I can try to do the fingering.
Oh, yeah. Ok.
Ok. I think we'll be all right on the tune aspect.
Yeah.
It's just capturing the grape now, so
you can't throw it. We need to eject it somehow.
Oh, I can catapult it.
- Yes. - Like...
Yes.
Uh, can't see anything in here that we'd use as a...
They've got a balloon.
Oh, here we go. Here we go. Here we go.
- That balloon. - Oh, yeah. It's a bit tight.
Ok.
- Is there more balloons? - Yep.
So what's the plan?
We're gonna make a catapult with the deer antlers, balloons, clearly,
and shoot the grapes into the tuba you see before you.
So you can...
Wow.
You should try this.
That's beautiful.
I think I'll catch the grape first, then I'll break into tune.
Oh, yeah.
That went in.
- Ok. Let's go further back. - No, that went in.
That went in.
Yes.
But the longest distance... Let's keep going for further.
What does the task say?
'Your distance will be measured
from the first grape successfully caught.
Ok. Well, that's not a bad distance. I'm happy with that.
Can I just point to the fact we were playing a lovely song on the tuba
while catching the grape.
So I'll finish the song now because
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's one of those songs that has a bit of a break in the chorus.
Yeah, normally you have the instrumental break.
We did the break from the instrumental,
so to speak, and did that later on.
Cuz how much of the process were you involved in?
It seems like you weren't involved in a lot of it.
I know it seems that way,
but I came up with a catapult and the balloon,
and he had the antler and the tuba. And I also did the fingering.
I'd like to think I did some of the fingering as well.
- I'd like to move on to the second team. - I think we should. Yeah.
So we've seen a dynamic duo.
It's time to move on to the Three Tasketeers
Brynley, Madeleine, and Guy.
We could fling it with a slingshot.
But I'm like, if we catapult it, would that be more accurate or?
Yeah. Catapult it.
Catapult it or hit it.
We need distance.
- Should we go out in the field. - Yeah let's go out in the field
and get some stuff to launch it.
I'll take the grapes.
- I'm pretty good. - That's good.
I'm the only one doing any work on this f-ing team.
We're all having a great laugh.
I'm trying to win the goddamn competition.
- Get practicing. - Sorry.
If I just throw it like that, is that allowed?
I think that's a throw.
Why don't we tie this and then we can hoof it?
- Oh, it's like a slingshot idea. - Yeah.
I'm ready, bitches.
Here we go. Three, two, one.
Wow. Am I being too optimistic standing here?
- Yeah. Yes. - Ok.
Yes, you are. Yes.
I'm just putting the tuba down for a second,
cuz I just want to see if I can just smack one.
- Good idea. I'm glad you're here. - I'll hold the tuba.
She got a hold of that one.
If you get the middle of the spade.
Yeah.
Do I play and then catch? Is that how this works?
Yeah. You gotta play and catch.
Ok. Ready?
Whoa.
Come on, Bryn.
Did it? Did it go in?
I think so.
- Hooray! - Hey!
Shall I play 'We Are The Champions'?
Yeah.
I gotta say, I was genuinely impressed with the teamwork there.
You two farted around and made Guy do all the heavy lifting.
Yeah.
We completely abandoned what I was doing,
and then they did the whole thing.
And I took the credit. Classic man.
Is there any reason why we didn't have to censor
Brynley's amazing rendition of 'We Are the Champions'?
I mean, I don't know. Was that 'We Are The Champions'?
I was trying.
We don't have it by any chance, do we?
No, we don't.
But we do have an audio clip
of the tune she was playing as she caught the grape.
- Ok. - Would you like to hear that?
- I'd love to hear that. - Ok.
Oh, God.
Awful.
Beautiful. That's really good. It's really good.
It sounds like a pig snuffling around in a trough.
But it was something. I mean, it's not an easy task.
You gotta concentrate on a few things. It's not easy.
Would you like to know their distance?
Yes, please.
Ok, so the first team: three meters.
Brynley, Guy, and Madeleine scraped ahead by 99cm and an additional 10 meters.
Yes!
But I'm going to score it this way. Mads, you hit it out the middle of the spade.
- That's not easy. - Thank you. Thanks, Coach.
Brynley, great piece of work catching it
and playing something as well.
Guy, you didn't do much, but you attempted to help a little bit.
Five points for you guys.
And three points for you guys, because you got it in there,
- Yep. - ...and that's not easy either.
Now what, Paul? Another task, I suppose.
I don't see what not. Or as they say in Mexico, 'tarea'.
Where's Paul?
Clear the mind. Clear the mind.
'Pack this piñata...'
Hello.
'...with the most surprising filling.'
'You have five minutes to plan and 20 minutes to fill the piñata.'
'Your time starts now.'
Where's Paul when you need him?
Ok, my first thought was I'm going to take a shit into the piñata.
That was the first thing that came to my mind.
And unfortunately, I don't need to use the bathroom right now, so that's kind of out.
The main issue is actually getting it in there. I don't see any kind of hole.
Wait. How do you how do you fill a piñata?
Like, is there a- is that part of the trick?
What was that martial arts move
that you pulled on the empty piñata, Leigh?
It's just- it's a clearing of the mind.
It's a martial art thing I used to do a few years back...
in my, um,
jodo.
Your what?
Dojo.
Dojo?
- Dojo. - My dojo, sorry.
Actually Joe used to run it. Joe who ran the dojo.
How do you actually fill the piñata?
Well, there was a very simple trapdoor on the belly of the piñata.
But reviewing the footage,
four of the five contestants did attempt to fill it
through its non-existent anus.
I cannot wait to see that, and I can't wait to be surprised
by these surprising things.
But first, we're gonna fill three minutes with some surprising ads.
We'll see you very soon.
Welcome back to Taskmaster, currently
the number one show to feature sexy trees, airborne grapes
and what now, Paul Williams?
Our contestants are trying to surprise me
with the filling of their piñatas.
I was not present for the piñata filling,
so what we're about to see
are my real, authentic, unedited reactions.
Truly television at its most raw and powerful.
Whose piñata filling should we watch first?
We've got two fillings with a very similar theme.
Here's Guy Williams and Madeleine Sami.
Welcome to a world of imagination, pleasure, and surprise.
Here before you is a piñata for you to bash.
Some surprising things inside.
Can't wait to see the look of surprise on your face, mate.
Oh, ok.
All right you're literally flogging a dead horse.
Really? Oh my God.
Oh, God, Paul.
You're supposed to smash the piñata, not the things inside of it.
Whoa. Surprise.
So there's lollies.
Yeah. What's that in your hand though?
- Another piñata. - Another piñata
inside the piñata inside the piñata. What's that?
- A piñata. - Another piñata inside the piñata.
How good?!
Is that my album?
Yeah. You just killed your album, bro.
- Did you illegally burn that? - Maybe.
I'm surprised, and I'm the one who did it.
Like, how is that even possible?
- Is there anything else in here? - They are little mini piñatas.
You'd know that if you hadn't bashed them to smithereens.
It was pregnant.
Twins.
So you're happy with how it went?
Well, to be fair, you were, like, going out of your way to hide your emotion,
but I know you. Speaking to the camera now. I've known Paul his whole life.
He doesn't show many emotions.
And isn't that just typical of Kiwi males these days?
They don't show what's on the inside, you know? They don't let their heart bleed.
But I know when I saw a Paul there,
that was as surprised as he's ever been in his entire life.
Whoa. Surprise.
This is about men's mental health awareness.
Get out there, get yourself checked.
Kia kaha. God Defend New Zealand.
- Thank you, Guy. - Thanks, Paul.
I don't think anyone has ever done less for men's mental health awareness than you.
Go out there and get yourself checked.
Yeah.
If anything, I've made the situation worse for a lot of men.
Guy, you put lollies inside of your piñata.
Yeah.
It's not very surprising, really, lollies inside of a piñata.
No, no, no.
It was piñata inception, guys. There was a piñata,
inside there was a smaller piñata.
Inside that there was another piñata. Inside that there was another piñata.
Inside that was a lolly. Is it- is that not blowing people's mind right now?
- I like it. - Wow.
I feel like you're slightly
over-exaggerating how many piñatas there were.
Whoa. I'm amazed.
Also, so I did the piñata within the piñata as well,
so it possibly wasn't as much of a surprise depending on who was...
I did see Madeleine's first.
Whose piñatas are next?
Up next we're heading to sunny L.A., which stands for Sunny Leigh Angela.
- Oh, g'day, mate. How are ya? - Hello, Leigh.
So you have to pull the tail.
- There's, like, an arrow thing there. - Oh, ok.
I'm kind of hoping you can maybe
- get underneath it. - Ok.
And kind of even lying down there, would be- would be quite good for me.
And what I might do, and it's also a Mexican thing,
I might head over here and give you a bit of a soundtrack,
Ok. Poor me. How hard?
Uh, just keep pulling.
- Down? - Yeah, that's the one.
When you're ready.
♪ Me, me, me. ♪
Is that a pizza?
- Yeah. - And a Christmas cracker?
Yeah.
Is it, like, turmeric or something,
- like some sort of spice? - Yeah.
And a bit of flour. It's supposed to be, like, sort of a chilli kind of pepper.
Vegetarian spinach.
Yeah. Are you vegetarian?
No.
I was hoping for an effect where, to be honest,
you were actually going to get doused
in the flour and the turmeric, but I think you you get the idea.
'Why did no one bid for Rudolph and Blitzen on TradeMe?'
- Um... - Because they were too 'deer'.
What surprises me here, Angela, is that
you were able to source a Christmas cracker out of season.
That's impressive.
The arrow was actually connected to the little string in the Christmas cracker.
So when he pulls it, it's supposed to bang. But it got soggy cuz of the pizza.
So was your idea that you pull the Christmas cracker
and the Christmas cracker makes the whole piñata explode?
Yeah. We don't really celebrate Christmas with Christmas crackers,
so I just thought it was a big...
You're thinking of fireworks.
Damn. Yeah.
Inside the Christmas cracker was the first ever Christmas cracker hat to fit my head.
Wow.
I don't know, yeah,
- it was a good quality- - Sorry, you look surprised.
I guess, yeah. I was quite surprised it fit my head.
Seemed quite surprised.
Leigh, what did you put in your piñata?
Basically, I wanted to do a bomb type thing
chilli and spices that would go in Paul's eyes.
And that even if he wasn't surprised,
he would have to have a very surprised
burning kind of look on his face as it happened.
I think it was turmeric and corn kernels.
Famously spicy.
I would say that's sort of a white person spice.
Cuz I would definitely go with a lot more curry powder, masala, and chilli.
I should've just put diesel in there or something.
- I'm ready for another piñata. - Then another piñata you shall have.
Here's Brynley whacking one.
- Hi, Paul. - Hello, Brynley.
Yeah. You can just go for it with the cricket bat.
I'm just gonna stand back, if that's all right with you.
- No worries. - His name is, um...
I'd rather probably you didn't name him before I hit him with a bat.
- Ok. - I go for it?
- Hey, good luck, Paul. - Thanks, Brynley.
Good luck, Fabio.
Sorry, I shouldn't have named him. His name's Fabio.
Yeah, ok.
Sorry, Fabio.
♪ Amazing Grace... ♪
- ♪ ...how sweet the sound... ♪ - Fabio!
What have you done?
- ♪ ...that saved a wretch like me. ♪ - Oh God, his guts!
I can't look at it any more.
Sorry, Brynley.
Sorry, Fabio.
That was truly devastating.
So a couple of weeks ago, you named a squirrel Sriracha.
- Yep. - And now you've got Fabio the piñata.
- Yeah, correcto. - I feel very sorry
for your future children.
Yeah. I guess they'll end up with some sort of food based or normal name.
What exactly was inside your piñata?
Um, mince, sausages, and some makeshift blood bags?
- Fake blood. - Mm. Yep. Yep.
Yeah. My parents worried about me as well.
To be honest, I know Brynley, and I wasn't that surprised.
I'm gonna struggle scoring this one
because the task is all about surprising Paul,
and I don't know if you've noticed, but Paul really shows
no emotion in any situation at all.
So I'm not really surprised that there's not a lot of surprise
coming from Paul and nobody is really able to surprise him.
Were you surprised by any of them maybe?
I was surprised at his lack of surprise.
I'm surprised to hear that.
But, Angela, I think that you do deserve five points.
I think that's only fair because veggie pizza
and a Christmas cracker inside a piñata were quite good.
Mads, three points for you.
Brynley and Leigh get two points each.
And, Guy, minus one point for doing damage to men's mental health.
We'll be back after this with a beauty of a live task. But first,
get ready to whack open your wallets because it's time to watch some ads.
We'll see you in a moment.
Welcome back to Taskmaster.
We are so very close to finding out who gets to walk away
with the world's worst condom.
Paul, please tell us who is in the lead.
Still out in front, Brynley on 15 points.
Quite tight, though. Madeleine's just two points behind on 13.
And with that, we head to the stage for our final task of the evening.
Little bit disappointed that there's no elaborate food props this week, Paul.
No gimmicks this week. It's for the task purists out there.
Madeleine, would you please do me the honour of reading this task?
I would love to do you...
the honour.
Sorry. There's been a lot of objectification of Paul,
and I just want to get in on it, to be honest.
Ok, thank you, Paul, you sexy thing.
Write down a sport, an animal, and a color. You have 10 seconds to complete all three.
Pens down.
- Leigh was still writing. - You were as well.
Yeah, ok. I was too.
But Leigh was more than me.
Madeleine, would you do me the honour of reading the second task?
Oh, I would love to do you the honour.
Uh, smut. All right, here we go.
'Strike a pose to represent firstly your sport, then your animal, then your color.
'The Taskmaster will attempt to guess what each pose represents.
'You may not speak or move once your pose is struck.
'Most poses correctly guessed by the Taskmaster wins.'
So we're gonna start with your sport pose, then animal pose, and then color pose.
Prepare to strike a pose.
- Angela, woodchopping. - No.
Cricket.
Brynley, gymnastics.
- Correct. - Yes.
- Guy, basketball. - Money, baby.
Uh, so what's happened here is Leigh's actually left sport blank.
I ran out of time. I don't know- I suppose I'm kind of a couch sport
I mean, he was blank. He was doing nothing.
Yeah.
- That'll be a point. - Don't give him a point for that!
- Well, he was doing nothing. - Wait! Wait! I mean, fair enough. I mean
That's disgusting.
- Some people don't play sport. - This is bullshit.
And I think I did a pretty good description of that.
- That's clearly batting. That's cricket. - Thank you.
Oh, wait, can you show me? Like...
Show me.
And then I was about to play a beautiful, just drive.
- Oh, that is lovely. That's lovely. - See. I did that.
That is lovely.
Ok, round two.
Your animal.
- A rabbit? - No.
A cat.
Brynley is clearly a hoiho, or yellow-eyed penguin.
Penguin. I'll give it a tick.
Guy is a bear.
No.
Tiger, obviously.
Leigh is a...
a hairless Tasmanian devil.
Did you say 'lemur'? Yeah.
- And you're a cat. - Thank you. Yeah.
Can you show me how you did cat?
I was I'm glad I didn't do this.
- And finally, your color. - Are you ready to pose?
Oh, this looks wrong.
Pink.
Blue.
It is a balloon.
Brynley, it's yellow.
- Yes. - It's actually mustard.
- Green? - Yeah!
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
- Rhymes with... - No. Zip it.
Brown.
Beige.
- No. Darker than that, obviously. - Well, you can't talk so...
- Oh. - ...I'm not gonna award you any points.
- Correct answer was black. - Black?
- Yes. - Ok.
Clearly.
- Madeleine, you're red. - Thank you.
Wow. Great.
Anger. Anger. It was anger. It makes you red.
All right. It's time to strike another pose.
This one is a comfortable sitting pose.
Everyone can return down to the stage.
Welcome back to your seats, everyone. Time to score that round.
Firstly, Brynley and Madeleine, five points each. Well acted out.
- Guy, three points. - Yes!
Thank you. I feel like I asked for that, but I deserved it.
Leigh, one point.
- Fuck. - And Angela, zero.
I'd like to strike another pose. Um...
So how does that place everyone for the series, firstly?
It's very tight.
- In second place, Brynley with 51 points. - Oh.
And only half a point ahead, currently leading, is Madeleine Sami.
That half point.
- Who knew you could even get half points? - Yeah.
I didn't.
So what does it mean for this episode then?
Uh, that means the winner for this episode with 20 points...
Brynley Stent.
There are many takeaways from tonight.
We've learnt not to body shame trees as they are sexy just the way they are.
We've learnt that a hole on the piñata isn't in the same place
as the hole on the donkey.
And we've also learnt that our deserving
champion of episode three is Brynley Stent.
Congratulations, Brynley. Now, make use of your non-useful thing.
Go lather up with some labia lipstick and enjoy your haul.
We'll see you next week!
That truly had it all. We had the stunt.
We had a great performance.
There was a political message.
Queer. I'm here. Get used to it.
It is gonna take a lot to top that one.
That was the sex scene.
I have no words for that.
