Sideblog for screencaps of Taskmaster - just queueing bits that make me smile. Likes and follows from witling. 👋

[ID: Six screencaps from Taskmaster. Alex Horne announces grandly, “Well, I’ve invented a new feature for the show. It’s called Taskmaster Karaoke. So, all you’ve got to do is turn down the volume of your TVs and turn on the subtitles, and then you can speak along with the show. I think you can do this with any TV show.” End ID.]

[ID: Three screencaps from Taskmaster. Frankie Boyle says dryly to Ivo Graham, “It does make me feel quite sorry for you sometimes, when you grip your head... like a chimpanzee whose habitat is under threat.” Ivo hunches over laughing in his seat. End ID.]

[ID: Two screencaps from Taskmaster. A large yellow rubber duck sits on a table in front of Alex Horne. Its back is covered with basil leaves and ground cumin, a single basil leaf is on its head, and cannellini beans are scattered around it. Alex asks, “Why is he French?” Ivo Graham says regretfully, “Well, the garlic is obviously doing some pretty heavy lifting.” End ID.]

[ID: Four screencaps from Taskmaster. Ivo Graham sits at a table, writing intently on a sheet of paper while the corresponding words appear on the screen around him. He says, “Basil. Cumin. Garlic. Salt. And... cannellini beans.” End ID.]

[ID: Three screencaps from Taskmaster. Kiell Smith-Bynoe sits at a table with a clipboard, papers, and a gold pen in front of him. He says, “This gold pen reminds me of school. Like, one boy in the year would have a gold pen.” He adds with a small smile, “I’d have it by the end of the year, though.” End ID.]

[ID: Five screencaps from Taskmaster. Frankie Boyle and Ivo Graham are in a room with plastic-covered walls and two chains hanging from the ceiling. Ivo says, “This has turned into quite a begrudging hug, I’m afraid.” Releasing Ivo from a pair of handcuffs, Frankie says, “Not for me, baby.” They share a long, relieved hug. End ID.]

[ID: Four screencaps from Taskmaster. Frankie Boyle and Ivo Graham are handcuffed to two long chains dangling from the ceiling of a room. Fiddling with a combination lock attached to the chains, Frankie says, “Why don’t we add two and four together to make six?” Ivo looks crestfallen and seemingly about to speak. He stares at Frankie and then towards the camera, hopelessly. End ID.]

[ID: Five screencaps from Taskmaster. Kiell Smith-Bynoe says a little sheepishly, “What I will say is that that has been edited... very, very nicely in my favour, because I was a monster in that room.” Seated beside him, Mae Martin adds, “I’m so glad they cut it out, ‘cause it was really tense.” Kiell says, “I... I wasn’t putting fucking broccoli jelly babies in my mouth.” End ID.]

[ID: Two screencaps from Taskmaster. Mae Martin, Jenny Eclair and Kiell Smith-Bynoe enter a room with white plastic-covered walls, an empty white table, and three pairs of handcuffs hanging from long chains on the ceiling. Jenny says delightedly, “Oh, my goodness. This has gone a bit S&M-y.” End ID.]

[ID: Three screencaps from Taskmaster. Ivo Graham stands outside an old factory, beside a huge cylindrical piece of metal machinery. He says nervously, “Obviously it’s very tempting to go, ‘Ha-ha, he’s lived his whole life in cotton wool, he’s never used a pulper wheel.’” End ID.]

[ID: Three screencaps from Taskmaster. Mae Martin stands outside an old factory, beside a huge cylindrical piece of metal machinery. They say, “I think this is a... like a World War II bomb.” From off-screen, Alex Horne replies, “Be careful.” Holding up a pair of work gloves, Mae says, “I’ll put the safety gloves on.” End ID.]

[ID: Three screencaps from Taskmaster. A confused-looking Mae Martin says, “My parents genuinely got me a pogo stick for Christmas. I’m 35 years old. I was like, ‘Oh, what should I do with it?’ And they were like, ‘Bounce around with your friends.’” End ID.]

[ID: Four screencaps from Taskmaster. Jenny Eclair says, “It’s interesting, ‘cause the lineage from Oskar Schlemmer to Bowie is all in the Bauhaus movement.” The studio screen shows a Bauhaus-themed pop-up book, open to a page of colourful dancing figures. Greg Davies gestures to the studio audience, saying dryly, “Yeah, that’s why these people came here, Jenny.” Ivo Graham exclaims, “They’re gagging for Schlemmer! That’s all they want!” End ID.]

[ID: Six screencaps from Taskmaster. The studio screen shows a Pop-Tart, decorated with a smiling photo of Professor Brian Cox, poking out of a toaster. Mae Martin explains, “On the Pop-Tart is the most brilliant mind of our time. My man, Professor Brian Cox. Look at his hair, and...” Greg Davies asks, “Are you a fan of Professor Brian Cox?” Mae replies happily, “I think he’s fit, yeah. No, I respect his mind.” End ID.]

[ID: Three screencaps from Taskmaster. Ivo Graham says, “The Japanese format of Whac-A-Mole, Mogura Tataki, Mole Smash, is popular worldwide, and now it’s got our faces on it.” The studio screen shows a plastic yellow Whac-A-Mole game with the cast’s faces stuck on each mole. Ivo says hopefully, “Five points, please.” End ID.]

[ID: Three screencaps from Taskmaster. Ivo Graham says, “I did want to commit some sort of physical assault, but I was also seduced by the romance of trying to cook the perfect dippy egg.” End ID.]
