For the people arguing that melting a hole in the tube would be moving it. I don’t agree. The instructions says that “the pipe most not be moved”, not “the pipe can’t move”. The pipe melting would if you would call that may type of moving, be the pipe moving, not that it has be moved by someone else. And also in Danish I think it would be even more obvious it would be allowed. I haven’t seen the episode and I speak Swedish, but I’m guessing the probably used the Danish version of “flytta”. Atleast in Swedish them not being allowed to flytta the pipe, would mean they don’t get to move it somewhere else. It has to stay in place. While we use another word for just generally describing motion. You wouldn’t say that part of the melted pipe “flyttade”. That sentence wouldn’t make any sense. Because that is not how you use that word. Even a partly melted pipe, if it remains at the same place on the tray on the table, haven’t in any way “flyttat”.

Nish saying "This is my Everest," is a quietly brilliant line.

In Portugal a famous comedian produced a Portuguese version of Taskmaster, and this task was in the first episode: It took less than one minute for one of the contenders to look at the camera crew and say “You bozos ain’t seen nothing yet.”, then go off camera, grab a hoover, snatch the termination out of its hose, and suck the ball out of the pipe 🤣

3:33 I love how they both bow in shame at the same time lmao

Using a vacuum was brilliant

When he said 'like a bassoon', that was exactly my 1st thought on how to go about this. Airtight up the holes, probably with fingers provided there are fewer than 10 holes, then blow across the top of the pipe Bernoulli's Principle-style. And in the end, essentially Hoover it out.

There's a saying that you need two engineers to change a light bulb. One person holds the light bulb itself, the other person rotates the entire universe around it. Basically since movement are relative, I can just rotate the tube 180 degrees and argue that I'm technically not moving the tube, I'm just moving everything else around it. I can even prove my point by taping my phone to the tray so that it's camera points toward tube, hit the recording button, and use the footage to prove that from that point of view, the tube doesn't move at all.

Taskmaster series 5.. what an absolute joy 😂

All movement is relative to a frame of reference. Get the camera operator to flip the camera over while you flip the tube over. From the camera's perspective, the tube doesn't move while the room does.

Glad to see someone got a vacume out because I thought of that as soon as I heard the prompt

This brings back memories of when a toothbrush fell down my kitchen drain. Vacuum was also the solution then.

"let me do it for you"

I have one way that would blow everyone's minds

I would have just taken the water, filled up to the first hole, put an umbrella stick in to keep the ball from falling down, plug the end with those (grapes?), then repeated the process until the ball has risen to the top, where I will have effortlessly dropped it back down to the bottom, therefor fucking up my entire plan.

I remember one of my Bakugans fell down this metal pole and opened up halfway in between. Was like 13 years ago but I'm sure the little guy is still in there
