Joe’s potato one pisses me off every time I watch it, especially because of the smug explanation given by Doc. “If you were to take those couple centimeters away (…) it’d be all rim and bounce out.” No the f*ck it wouldn’t. The throw is determined by the upper body, not the toe placement. Not only that, but look at the shoes of someone who is standing. Notice how most shoes curve UP at the toes? That means he very likely wasn’t even touching the red green to begin with. I get that it was a vote, so he can choose any reason he wants to vote no, but the smugness of the “if you were to take those couple of centimeters that he gains…” really bothers me. I have a hard time with injustices (ADHD), even fictional ones. I don’t even think it should have been a vote to begin with, though, because shoes curve up at the toe. The overlap isn’t more than a few millimeters, MAYBE a couple centimeters. Either way, it isn’t enough to be touching the green.

Still think about Joe's potato throwing moment, just sheer heartbreak. The tip of his shoe curved up so I still feel he shouldnt have been disqualified. However, it is also one of the best Taskmaster moments and made even better by Doc's "All rim and bounced out" betrayal.

"Sometimes you've got to crush dreams." That's one of the most tragic lines in all of Taskmaster. It's just painful to listen to.

Stuffed animals, whether foxes or camels, are not safe around Noel Fielding; they are very likely to be disemboweled.

I see everyone seem to have gotten drawn in by Joe Wilkinson's face because we all know it's the potato moment

Potato-Gate remains one of the best pieces of TV I've seen in years. It's the perfect set-up, how Greg and Alex let him bask in his moment of glory is painful. And my favourite bit is that there is definitely a part when they both look at each other with an expression that said "Shit, I think we might have taken this too far". Gold.

the BEST part of the Joe disquali was the fact they let it go on sooo long.. had all the celebrations and then immediately pulled the rug out from under him. Comedy at it's finest.

When I tell family and friends to check out Taskmaster, I always send them to the potato task video. I've watched that task over and over and over. Whenever it pops up in KZread suggestions, I watch it. Never gets old.

The potato throw, reminds me of triple jump, or long jump when they do a really amazing jump, and then they do the replay only to discover it was not allowed, the reaction was very accurate. If you just took the reaction, it was almost like a sportsman who did a world record performance before being taking away just for stepping just a little too far. Or in rugby when they do an amazing try, only for them to be off side or forward pass.

Joe didn't touch it, his shoe did

Joe Wilkinsons disqualification is the greatest piece of television in history...

the "WIDE AWAKE" bit for jess's prize task is such an underrated taskmaster moment lmaooo (also its very strange now seeing everyone sitting so close together ... )

I loved Mel's "does he have to leave?"

Joe making that shot like that even though he got disqualified is both the worst upset and best thing ever to happen on taskmaster

Wilkinson's potato has to be my favorite TV moment, ever. And I'm not even British

The Joe Wilkinson one is just heartbreaking because he nailed it so perfectly.

The worst cheating would be Sian Gibson's secretly picking red ball from the grass.

"Can I... please don't take it away from me." "That's a really empassioned and eloquent argument, yet it makes me more inclined to take it off him!" This show is one of a kind lmao

I took one look at the thumbnail and quietly said to myself "Oh... the potato..." in such a sad voice lmao. It truly was a sad moment though

Doc’s rebuttal of “it would’ve been all rim and out” is beautifully poetic. But I’m in concurrence with everyone else the rollercoaster of emotion of Joe’s potato throw is some of the best television I’ve ever seen.

The cry of don't take it away from me is Story of my life 😂❤️

4:43 Possibly the best volte-face in the whole of Taskmaster.

3:43 I love Greg and Alex completely break character 😂

these are fantastic but I can't believe we're not going to talk about mark watson's 148 cheeky texts. also honorable mention to james acaster's hula hooping

"Joe's potato" has now reached the same stardom as "They say of the Acropolis where the Parthenon is", "Other than glory holes", and "Good luck trying that without spit".
