i think the loopholes wasn't really a core mechanic untill the yoga balls. then all other seasons realized that loopholes are a great way to win and make good content but the taskmaster also had to make it hard enough so they need to put enough rules in the task. but its still possible i think. it all depends on how much contestants can think outside the box in the limited time they are given

Not to mention that strong winds and rain (and cats) would have probably dislodged the ball at some point. Agree though that Hugh's move was genius here!

We don't use the terminology "sharp" to describe cheese in the UK.

I love it how in every programme that Greg is in. He always protects Susie Dent. Something to tell us Greg? ❤️

At any time if you're arguing against a loophole and you start your argument with "yes but", you've already lost.

for his entire series, Ed Gamble woke up and chose violence

I’ve never watched any Taskmaster until this clip and suspect I’ve seen the very best of it now.

You haven't seen a man violently smash a watermelon onto the floor and eat it like a starved beast (season 1 episode 1, first task)

I figured they would have someone else step on the pedal to open the bin right after they threw the object

He got nine points in total from that task when factoring in the boilersuit (only Phil beat him) so a bonus point wasn’t even necessary

Judi Love taking the basket of Alex’s bike should be in this. One of my absolute favourite moments of the series!

I am still impressed by Richard Osman's one. The yoga mat on the top of the hill is a genius interpretation.

my reaction to the guy tying up the person who is supposed to untie him and then putting a bucket on his head: I see someone has played Skyrim as a thief.

I do belive the Richard Osmonds effort changed the entire show from that moment

I think I've seen enough of these compilations to say I've binged the whole show several times over out of order.

Lesson: if on taskmaster, first solution to think of should always be to ask someone else for help.

well, really what these guys do is try to make the show entertaining above all else.

Greg said it on Cats does countdown: Never question Dent’s authority.

I always enjoy when “Moneybags” Murray shows up. He’s always got a devilish grin on his face.

This is the first I've ever seen of this series and I *love* it! I'm watching more asap

I love that they went to Susie Dent. Fridge coconut water is a prisoner's dilemma. It is obvious, but you don't score if anyone else does it.

Nah, just pierce the bottle instead of opening the top. It's the extraction method, not the place you get it from.

I don't watch this show much, but i vividly remember an episode where they had to get rid of a giant block of ice. The wording was something like 'make it disappear'. While others tried to break it apart or melt it with hot water in the shower, someone threw it in a river.

My first thought with the coconut water one was to just put the coconut inside a pot with water, boil it for a few seconds then drink the "coconut water".

Hugh had so many great moments followed up by shit moments. The dinner tray task, the treadmill, and getting the bag across a football pitch were all great moments. Just true lateral thinking.

I watched a show similar to Fear Factor in which occasionally the host would do the challenges. Every time he did he showed they could have done it completely smarter For example: they had to hold on to a horizontal pole that would get progressively higher. So he climbed up and hung with his arms and legs instead of just his hands.

SEMANTICS SEMANTICS SEMANTICS! This just might be the most wholesome video I’ve ever watched! Keep up the good work mate!

Jimmy Carr would be good at this; he’s got some experience with making use of loopholes 😂

As soon as they read to drink a tbsp of coconut water I immediately thought "There's probably some in the fridge" LOL

When I watched the pedal bin task, it occurred to me that “into” has more than one definition. They could have just thrown something that hit it and it should have counted.

Alex's sense of comic timing is impeccable

the one where he tied up Alex had me in STITCHES. ohh I don't think I've ever laughed so hard in my LIFE. AND THE HAT !! priceless

I love the hell out of this show a bunch of comedians doing silly shit XD

Omg congratulations you guys. Your amazing and should be proud of all the good work your doing to help ppl. There isn't enough ppl in the world like you both if so the world would be a better place xXx

Those are simply the best moments of the series.

everytime i watch this show, i always look for the loopholes, i always listen to the task carefully and find a way to break it. real fun

As a disabled person, my first thought was that I'd lie on the ground with the tray on my belly and one foot in the air while the other pushes me along, because ain't no way I'd be able to hop without losing balance! Your idea is very good, too.

Never actually seen this show but I like it. It's very much in the spirit of how I think.

shoutout to alex for his ability to weave the jokes the players make into his preplanned presentation. “butch boy” really cracked me up

"Finding loopholes is TIGHT!"- Pitch Meeting Guy

I feel the tasks recently are worded too specifically to ensure people don't find loopholes, which I find limits their creativity. They should have a very simple task, maybe one line, and let everyone come up with their own solutions like they did in the earlier seasons.

@julianakarasawa315

I'd say that the specific wording sometimes HELPS finding loopholes - you just look for something that is NOT mentioned 😂

Alex's dry dedication is my favorite part of this show

This is the compilation I was waiting all my life for
