Joe Wilkinson and the potato is the best moment in Taskmaster history for me
After the voting didn’t work at that point I would have traded my points out for his. I would have taken his zero points and given him the points I won.
Saddest for me tho
this is literally the second potato style video that’s so rewatchable that you have to go back once every so often just to appreciate how many unexpected twists happen up untill the final moment.
@Travis K Bracken Although James Acaster is my favourite contestat, that tattoo moment is also my favourite!!!!
Followed by James Acaster being called to the side by Greg and his temper tantrum with Rhod and the extension building episode (tie!)…😜
The best and the worst.
Say what you will about Joe Wilkinson, the man knows how to grovel.
And you’d THINK that Greg Davies would be susceptible to groveling.
@Momon Early days, Greg was still trying to be a somewhat impartial Taskmaster.
i think that’s what i will say about him, yes
Still one of my favourite moments
Why did you make this series unavailable outside the UK?
@razorkee sad South African too! Sadness across continents! Now that’s deep! 🤭😜
@Annetjie van Zyl I checked out Dailymotion and was able to watch them there! A bit lower quality but still very much watchable :).
@razorkee thanks! Heading over there right now!
@Ash 💚 You are a wonderful human being.
ICONIC
Shakespearean tragedy for modern times.
To touch or not touch the red green.
That is the question.
Joe Wilkinson’s 2 minutes of glory is my favorite moment from series 2. So good.
He was so excited, anticipating the clip, thinking he’d won it all lmao
Hands down the best moment of all Series
Not all series but def that series 🙂
@Andreas karlsson What’s your top moment ever?
@Adriano Vaz ooh hard to say, what comes tl mind is tree wizard but once you or someone else mentions a moment ill prolly go oh yeah that one.
When James acaster called Greg a pussy was a great one. And when Greg saw the picture of his mom in the bath, epic reaction right there. 🤣
Catherine’s breakdown was incredible.
Also Joe Willkinson’s tragedy was compounded by the fact that Joe brought his wedding certificate as prize.
Please dont take it away from me.
Best line of the entire series 😀
couldnt tell if she was crying or laughing…
@Sarubotai i think she was trying to fake cry but kept laughing during it
@Sarubotai choking up about the pressure but laughing at herself for crying about a potato
I read your comment in black adars voice and it was great
Just get him to redo it?
He did it 17 times afterwards, piece of piss!
Catherine makes me want to kill myself
Joe saying please always gets me haha
Please don’t take it away from me. XDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
@Andreas karlsson or on count down when he has to beg Jimmy for the points!
Something about these earlier seasons makes me all fuzzy like.
This only could happen to Joe
Wow some petty competitors there. 😀
Why did Kathrine start crying?? 😂
@MB 😂😂
I’ve had that happening to me. Could be monthly stuff. Not that it makes you mentally unstable, it’s just that your emotions (about whatever you worry about) are more on the surface and easily get connected with other subjects.
Last month I was worrying about hurting someone’s feelings that I work with, but I didn’t have time for those emotions then, so I put them away.
Then I had my “lady-lady-moment” and when I took a book from the free-books-shelf that was very colourful, I decided to read it, despite the fact it was a childrensbook. It was called; ‘The stomach of Mr. Hobbema.’ (De buik van meneer Hobbema.)
It was about a guy that ate loads of pudding and cake, his stomach grows and he thinks he’s pregnant. He buys a shitload of toys and nappies, tells *everyone* he meets and then goes to the doctor, only to find out he has diabetes. (Not really, the doctor just tells him he’s fat.)
So then he bursts into tears and cries; ‘I wanted to care for a little baby so bad’ and someone who fancies him, suggests she can help with that. And I kid you not, in the last page, they’re cuddling in bed together, awaiting their baby in 9 months.
Either way, as soon as the pudding was mentioned I somehow teared up already. And when he was crying about the child he could never birth, I just cried out loud. I mean, the emotions were probably not connected to anything with kids, but he was hurt and I didn’t want to hurt my collegue (but I was forced to hurt her feelings with feedback, otherwise she’d never be able to do her job right.)
Either way, I took the book home (free books shelf) and I keep it in my cabinet, incase I need to cry and can’t get the tears out. I think the situation with Katherine is similar.
@MB
You can’t, I’m sorry. It’s there to stay.
I really need closed captions though 🙁
The sincerity in his voice when he said “please don’t take it away from me” though
Alex cracking up like that is rare too
Sincerity? It was the least sincere tone I’ve ever heard XD The flat delivery is why it was funny
@It’s okay
Alex also cracked up in season 7 when James Acaster & Rhod Gilbert get into it over the satsuma incident. Pretty funny.
He sounds like Dobby
It’s almost heartbreaking
Jon Richardson’s little gnome run will always crack me up no matter how many times I see it
4:45
*spoilers* Don’t read if you don’t want to know who won the series.
After seeing the first episode and Katherine crying during the first task, I never expected her to win the whole series in the end. 🤣
But kudos to her.
That 1 dislike is Joe Wilkinson!!
Let’s go to VAR.
No Goal!
Joe is a goddamn treasure.
Please maake Greg the king of this country… #banfootball
God that was heartbreaking.
Joe *the tragic potato* Wilkinson
I have to say, if he’d gotten the win, that would have taken away the humouristic brilliance of it all.
Side note: He didn’t touch the red Green, only his shoes did.
Oh i forgot how the first few seasons the contestants is a bit non-competitive than the later seasons.
This is, for me, one of the best bits of television I’ve ever seen. The whole set up from start to finish – the way the audience is allowed to see replay after replay to build up the magnificence of Joe’s throw, the let down of seeing his foot on the mat, the voting to decide whether the result should stand – everything was done sublimely. I will never get tired of seeing this… it’s quite simply magnificent. Well done to all concerned. 👍
But only his shoe touched it, not he. How could they have overlooked this?
@IMightBeBiased But VAR doesn’t only deal with black and white situations. There is a lot of grey area involved and sometimes VAR corrects decisions and sometimes it doesn’t and that’s the problem. In Black and white situations it works great. In grey areas it is too inconsistent.
The editing is consistantly brilliant on this show
Look at 5:20–21 Chris. It will change how you look at life. Docs Right Foot !
@thomas reddy Ha! That’s amazing! I’d never spotted that before! Great observation!!!
Thanks to James Acaster, they had to fine tune the rules after dragging the green around the yard, including the the hole 😀
Isn’t it season 2? James was in season 7
I’m watching Taskmaster first time from the beginning and I’m currently at season 8 and am still angry about this.
I can’t find anything past season 6. Where are you watching??
Legit, it’s been over a year at least for me and just seeing this clip in my recommended feed tonight brought it all back again.
This was flippin television gold.
I would have given him the point. Shit happens… it was a good nearly clean shot. If it was a 2nd or 3rd attempt at a throw, I might of said go away… but that was an amazing first throw.
Also, like others have mentioned… if objects in hand are considered not touching the red, then that could also apply to his shoes too. The level of interpretation here is just brutal.
turgsh01 I mean, ultimately it’s a comedy show. Being strictly literal isn’t always the most comedic option (I guess).
@DeathnoteBB Well, there was a possible marriage license at stake. So ya, I would have put a little more effort into making judgement on something like that… that is their one and only job on the show after all.
turgsh01 No their one and only job _is to be comedic_
And nobody forced him to bring a marriage license…
@DeathnoteBB So, is he supposed to lie and say a marriage license isn’t the most important document he has?
Why did no one just hand it to Alex and get him to walk it and put it in the hole??
Or just walk up and do it yourself, you’re not touching it your shoes are
@Farpezio if that was a valid premise the Joes attempt would have been given.
@Lewis Beattie yea, I think if they mentioned it then he probably would have been allowed to count his attempt
Please let us start a Taskmaster in South Africa! I swear I will find ways to produce it for next to nothing!
The best dystopia I’ve ever seen.
I’ve seen the series 2 episode 1 is up, but it’s geo locked!!!!!!!! Please please please put it for the whole world to see!
So this is what it would’ve been like if Ray Allen was on the line in 2013?
First time I’ve seen Katherine Ryan’s TV persona break, lmfao
She also breaks when Johnny Vegas is talking about Beauty’s Castle.
ok but shame on you for not making series 2 available for other countries.…
As much as Katherine Ryan’s breakdown was hilarious it was also very weird. She has so much botox in her face, it barely changed when she was crying. It was like watching a bad 3D animated character cry. It was trying to look real but failed.
Everyone sold this so well, this is what happens when you let people interact with each other and they aren’t constantly scripted word for word. British audiences really have it good
@Fartun Farah Of course it exists in Sweden. Bäst i test.
@jokkelicious low level troll man. That bait is straight rotten.
I’m watching this in America.
I’m sure this was far more scripted than you realise. Obviously the hosts knew ahead of time that the throw was disqualified.
The judge should have gotten a signal from his watch. 🙂
Haven’t watched it yet but couldnt u just use your clothes to move across the ‘red green’
Ha ha ha, Joe Wilkinson
Joe’s attempt – (6:34) *I. DID. NOT. SEE. THAT. COMING.* – (I literally kind-of screamed laughed) *O. M. G.*
I expected some extensive elaborate weird strange method from Joe, really did
edit – oh no! did not see that coming either.
This comment is as much of a rollercoaster ride as the clip was 😂
I love the edit on this comment
Hands down, best set-up in TV history, anywhere. Made me look like a manic psychopath commuting to work.
idk why but i absolutely lost my shit when joe did his. IDK what i was expecting but I think the simple unexpected shock of it threw me. literally lold for like 30s
the power of great editing to achieve the perfect comedy timing
This was a rollercoaster of emotions
Awe.… A dumb blond. We all need to just love her and give her a potato.
I would’ve just risked it and walked on it and dropped it in. It didn’t say don’t step on it, it said don’t touch it. Joe should’ve brought up that argument.
It doesn’t matter whether you or I think he touched it or not, or how we interpret the rules. All that matters is Greg’s interpretation of the rules and the results, which is partly what I love most about this show. You can’t argue with his verdict because his verdict is by definition the correct one.
The fact that every contestant knew how to interpret the rules should show you that nobody likes someone who goes “technically…” regarding everything in life.
@JSmellerM Doesn’t matter.
I got irrationally angry at the 2 contestants that voted to take it away from him
don’t worry, he got a purple ribbon.
Did you not see the replay tho?
@Anonymous Anonymous His shoes pointed upwards so he never touched it
@PotatoChips23415 The toes point upwards but that’s far enough back on his foot where if the shoe is curling up that much, his foot has several broken bones
Tbf tho, if he came up with that excuse, I think they’d definitely be heartless not to give it to him
HAHAHAHAHAHA THAT ENDING
Shoes
Ruined the scene by dqing that
Honestly my first thought was to just walk on the Red Green, as my shoes prevent me from physically touching it.
With all fairness: he didn’t touch the red green. His shoe did.
But if you’re wearing the shoe, you are indirectly touching the red.
@Saniya M. that’s not how “touching” works.
If you are sitting on the toilet, are you touching the sewers?
@Concerned Commenter A little ironic that you had a comma splice one sentence before informing someone about a good use of semicolons
Exactly what I thought. When I first heard the task, my first thought is just walk on the green with my shoes on.
James Acaster would of just walked over and put the potatoe in the hole and been like I didn’t touch the red green my shoes did.
But then James Acaster is my favourite! 😜
And he would have corrected your “would of” grammar error 😉
@Viktor Bönnemark thank you
@Douglas well one is a sled and the other is clothing. If its clothing on you it should count as you. If you wanted to strap yourself to a rocket and piledrive the potato into the ground ot should count cause a rocket is not clothing.
@Douglas the most general term of “you” means your physical being, skin, nails and hair, and anything worn by you, like socks, shoes, jackets, i disagree with the latter part, shoes is not part of you just because you wear them, they are a entirely seperate item, saying they are part of what constitutes as “you” just because you wear them is the one and the same as constituting that a person carrying you is a part of you.
Sorry if I am being thick here but could they not have just asked Alex to go and put it in the hole for them?
They could ask, but he could easily say no.
if putting a tarp down on the red is fine, why can’t they just walk on it? they’re all wearing shoes aren’t they? so they’re not touching it…
If you step in shit do you say “I stepped in shit” or do you say “My shoe touched shit”? If you say the first you see your shoe as an extension of yourself which means you are touching the red-green when stepping on it. Nobody says the latter and if you claim to say that your pants are clearly on fire.
@JSmellerM well stepping on shit doesnt Imply you’re wearing anything. it’s the action that is mentioned. kind of like how you ran over a dead animal. it’s the action that has the meaning. you technically ran something over because you were operating the vehicle. same goes for shoes. you’re operating the shoes in a sense, so you stepped in shit. i get what you’re saying, the object cannot take responsability since it wasn’t in control. i get where you’re coming from since it’s an extension in this case
@DreamScape but when you run over an animal you usually say something like “I ran over an animal with my car”. You never say “I stepped in shit with my shoe”. So you do make that distinction of what you consider an extension of yourself and what you don’t.
@JSmellerM actually, you would often just say that you hit a deer (or w/e you hit) and probably wouldn’t specify “with my car” unless pressed. This is because “hitting a deer” in any context other than using a car would be pretty weird, so it doesn’t require more details. Is your car part of you then?
It is the same with stepping in shit. You don’t specify “with my shoe” when you step in shit bc people expect that if you are walking around outside, you are wearing shoes. You would only add details to clarify that you were NOT wearing shoes (or anything else that isn’t shoes), because that would be the unexpected state.
You’re talking about using expectations of language to clarify a task on a show where part of what is funny about the tasks is that they often subvert expectations of language allowing/forcing you to do something literal or unusual.
@JSmellerM yeah i was agreeing with yah 👌
But your shoe isn’t you touching it. Should have just walked over ay.
In similar games, puzzles, etc. where touching something isn’t allowed, anything being worn generally counts as part of the wearer.
VAR strikes again
VAR strikes again.
VAR decision pending
VAR decision – no potato hole
Joe Wilkinson – King of the “fuck it” mentality.
Fucking twats
At 11:33 you can see a man’s heart genuinely breaking
#JusticeForJoe!
VAR ruins another game.…
Katherine Ryan is my hero
This is a fucking joke, I’m fucking livid.…one of the greatest accomplishments achieved by mankind to this day taken away by human selfishness.…It’s a disgrace, what a terrible world we live in
technically he didn’t touch the green his shoes did…
Great season!
“That’s harsh” hahah Doc had me in stitches
Why is she crying?
Maria Lavik she’s really bad at sports, she can’t work it out, she does not care where the ball goes
Canadian gym classes are gladiator rings
Joe Wilkinson was robbed by VAR. It’s not just ruining football
HJC 10 if he was from liverpool he wouldve been onside
The whole time I just wanted someone to walk up to the hole and place it in… And say I didn’t step on anything green… It was red
But he didn’t touch the red mat, his shoe did! Problem solved.
This is – and I mean this quite honestly – my favourite sporting moment of all time. That replay, the drama, it really does have it all. This is how to make television.
Agree but throwing a patatoe in a hole isnt how you make a television xD
@Tristan Popken No, but allowing talented performers to do it made it television. Duh.
I would have immediately taken off my shirt to use as a bridge
Already got shoes on dawg
This show would hate me or other experimental scientists who will ask a million questions. “What defines touching the red green? Can I wear boots? Gloves?”
Bet you the lip of his shoe didn’t even touch the red green
It’s all point of view
Why was this so funny? hahaha
My favorite part is that Joe starts to say “If I don’t get it-” and just decides “Best not miss, then.”
This is sidemen boomer edition
This is basically a full-on Mr. Bean episode and I’m loving every second of it!
Joe Wilkinson is the greatest man alive.
I can just hear Sean Locke “Im sorry, but as a stickler for the rules…”
@TheForgottenViolin Tbf… if i had been on this shoe i would have just walked over there.
550
I was hoping someone would say that 💀💀💀
You know the rules, and so do I
Rip Sean lock
Woop woop finally a dedicated taskmaster channel 😍
Could they have rolled the green up?
If you’re allowed to fold the green,the fold it all, right?
Nobody:
YouTube: don’t touch the red green potato golf
Me:🤷♂️🤷♂️🤦♂️👍
Best moment in Taskmaster history. Elation and being a hero, the slow zoom in, the realisation, Joe begging 😂
Better reality tv than the US. I’m jealous
Everyone saying he didn’t touch the red green his foot did obviously never played ‘The floor is lava’. If you wear it it belongs to your foot.
His foot??
No. His shoe.
So if I take my shoes off and then step on them, would that count?
For real though. I wouldn’t ever play games with some of the commenters on here lol Well acktually people are the worst.
@theoriginalshew That actually would count because you step on them and don’t wear them.
My immediate thought: take off my clothes and use them as a bridge
No clue what this is but now I’m emotionally invested.
Lol me too, i’m really glad i found this show
The shot should have counted. If it was to be called a foul, it had to be called at the time of the foul. Since calling it late as they did disqualified him from obtaining a proper time. The shot should count.
Should of given him one more shot in front of everyone for redemption
One of the best moments in TV history
Which series is this
so sad for Joe(((((
Taskmaster is a comic book villain…
F that! That was a beautiful one shot that no one saw the problem of until a replay! Plus his foot was beside the red, touching yes!, But beside it so the argument of centimeters of advantage is bull! Worse call in sports I’ve ever seen! Lmao beautifully well done by all though. Hilarious.
Var ruling : no goal offside
I would have just walked over the red with my shoes, my shoes aren’t part of my body; they are objects I’ve strapped onto my body and therefore I wouldn’t be touching the red green.
Wtf is this why did YouTube recommend it to me what are these people on.
Actually, those couple of centimeters didn’t help Joe as the potato hit the back rim when it went in, if he is of the red green completely, it’s a swish.
It’s uncanny hearing everybody laugh at a doctor who reference, it’s this stuff taught in UK schools or something?
yes. obviously. we’re not savages.
Well it is on telly on Christmas eve so it is endeed important for everyone. There’s also not many shows what got famous world wide so it is really something to cherish
@C.T. Grell Unlike, you know, Taskmaster.
Doctor Who is a British cultural institution, of course most people there are somewhat familiar with it. Compare it to how, say, many, if not most, Americans are vaguely familiar with Friends.
That’s pretty great. This is the first time in a while I’ve seen British reality TV that I can stand. Also that Catherine girl is hot. I’d string a potato in her green any day.
My solution was, poke a hole through the potato with a screwdriver, loop a strong and long enough thread, wire, yarn or rope through it, throw potato roughly at hole. Position myself on the opposite side of the hole from potato, pull it in. I feel like the guy walking on objects is kinda cheating. If that’s a valid solution, then simply wearing shoes is a valid solution.
Wow. Is this really an entertainment?
Hate VAR
What a copy! in denmark we have the same show and they did that task, 2 years ago!
Why was this in my reccomendations
So you can see some proper tv
The guy in the right taskmaster chair looks like my social studies teacher
I actually feel like this show is making me smarter or at least quicker with my dumb decisions.
THIS IS DEVASTATING
Why is she crying
Joe’s greatest achievement ever… And biggest heartbreak.
Surely those other people touched the red with their shoes during their many careless attempts at holing the potato.
Technically..they ALL stepped on the red (doormat)
Well that’s why the task says “Red green” not “anything red”
“how long did the fucking Dalek take?” lol
My first thought was “does stepping on something while wearing shoes count as touching it?”
Henk de Tank same. Maybe taken my shoes off so I wouldn’t dirty my jacket.
Alex. Lie down
yes.
Make guy lie down.
Walk across.
Plop potato.
I can’t believe those fuckers voted against Joe
Stop. Fucking. Clapping so loud
I assumed nothing including the potato could touch the red.…. would have taken me much longer time
Yeah same. If you had a long string (or tape) and a ladder you can attach it to one end then lower it down into the hole.
I was first thinking some sort of bola method, but that would be very difficult to get right (probably harder than just throwing the potato in)
Have you ever used a potato to sweep?
I would have gotten a rope, made a single loop around the flagpole with the potato tied to the rope, and then pulled on the rope until the potato made a full rotation and eventually got into the hole.
Why the fuck is this chick crying
Thats a thing
his show touched it not him, what the fuck
why episodes of 2nd series are not available in Poland on YT, while videos like this one and 1st series are?
This is one of the best moments in television history. Amazing!
Are they high
We have an exact copy of this show in Sweden called bäst i test.
calle natzen Og nå har Norge Kongen befaler
Cake master og Danmark har stormester
It used to also be on YouTube, with English subtitles.
The red green. I was so freaking confused lmao
@junbh2 i had my stick on the ice the whole time
Apparently the grass in the vicinity of the golf hole is called green
I never claimed to be smart lol, my uncultured behind was just quaking.
Love that name. But you know who doesn’t? Joe.
Why not get a green green, or call it ‘the red’
Sean Haggard because that’s not funny
If the green were sad it would be a blue red green
If it were sick it’d be a green red green
Well.…My Uncle Red always said
“If Women Don’t find you handsome.…atleast they’ll find you handy”
@Milkshake Of Death same random recommended on my feed. But I ain’t made, my saturday starting off great
Uh, walk over, stick the potato in the hole. As long as you’re wearing shoes it’s cool.
Everyone’s gonna ignore that guy covered red circle with green material?
@Blake Orth But where does it end? Is what happened at 5:20 a violation?
Technically, he is even wearing the contraption and that did touch the red green
@Anonymous Anonymous
He’s literally touching it with his shoe too 5:21
@Glitch Nice catch, wish someone had called him out during the voting
@Blake Orth If you step in shit do you say “I stepped in shit” or do you say “The fabric of my shoes is covered in shit”?
JSmellerM but would you tell people you got poop on you or just shoe?
Joe’s such a pimp
This is the most joe Wilkinson moment ever
i fucking piss myself at this shit
one of the greatest moments of television history
Ohhh so the Swedish show I thought was really fun and original, unlike most shows here, was actually based on this from England. Like most good shows here. Uh
This is prob even better then : O
Logikure bäst i test, finns på SVT play 🙂
Rekommenderar den här, riktiga versionen. Klasser bättre! Alla säsonger och avsnitt finns gratis på Dailymotion. =)
Is it on youtube? whats the name in swedish so that we can search for it?… Thx
Adam A ja, Taskmaster är lätt bättre. Får kolla på Daily Motion. Tack! 👍
@elftax The Swedish version is called “Bäst i test”, you can probably watch some contestant compilations on YT. It’s shit in comparison to Taskmaster though. Have seen one full episode plus a couple of compilations on YT and so many tasks are just complete copies of the original.
AM I THE ONLY ONE WONDERING WHY *THE GREEN* IS FUCKING *RED* M8‼️
Kathen being gassed for 10 minutes for not liking sports🤣🤣
Um the area is red so it’s not green, even though the term for that area is green.
I have an idea: take off all clothes except underwear, put them down like lilipads and then hop across. Plop the potato in and then you’re done.
had the exact same idea tbh
I saw 1 minute of the video and my first idea is putting a fucking carpet over it…
I hate that she’s technically Irish
What do they mean with “red green”?
In golf the putting green (or just the “green”) is the area around the hole. In this case instead of grass it’s red fabric. Hence the “red green.”
I dont get it are they drunk?
Literally the most unfunny show ever
I am so confused how is that red green
The area is called a green, but its colored red
@Seth Price thanks, that makes sense
the two guys talking to him at the very end had me crying from laughter, hoooooly shit.. AHAHAHA
Yes YouTube, this is exactly what I wanted to watch at 1am
jacksepticeye liked this
I would take some string and tie it around the potato and place it down on the green. Then I would walk to the opposite side of the green with the string so that cross section of the string goes straight over the hole on the green. Then just slowly pull the string with the potato towards me so it ends up in the hole.
What the hell am I watching
Red green? what is red green?
That green area around a golf hole is really called ‘green’.
The color of that is red so it’s basically a red green
a character produced by a Canadian comedian named Steve Smith
Well…he broke one of 2 rules…
Joe the real MVP
Dumb
Ngl these are some pretty incompetent people but what else should I expect from the brits
Mr Gilbert seems kinda chill tho
What about getting it in the hole sweetheart?
This videi had been revommended to for a week now. There i watch it
This has got to be the stupidest show I’ve ever fucking scene and I hate everything about it nothing they say is funny but they laugh way too much
lol, “red green”, british things
What the hell is a red green? I thought they could’ve just stepped on the red since it’s not green
This remind me of a Danish television show / all of it is the same so is it steal
Taskmaster created by Alex Horne in 2010 first televised in the UK in 2015.
Stormester televised in 2018.……
Ugh, people on the show are supposed to be clever? Who hired these drunks?
But Alex stopped the clock, didn’t he?
He didn’t touch the part where red and green intersected.
my fave too!!
*starts to push carpet* alright so im going to tie a string to the potato
Same woman that bragged about people not knowing how smart she was in the bridge building episode 😂
@Minor Key She’s really smart
@L W I know she’s very intelligent , but this is still not a light bulb moment for her. I’m just joking about that moment of hubris that didn’t pan out right
she literally explained why she did it
@L W Obviously she isnt.
Why not just push it into the hole with something really long.
3:27
Holy sheit, she has more botox in her face that I’m worried her face is all botox.
I’ve never seen a more Joe Wilkinson moment.
😭😭😭😭😭😭 too much emotions over a potato
So the instructions are not to touch the green.
But you can’t touch the red.
But you can touch the green over the red.
This is so dumb.
Actually why not just walk on it with shoes? Technically not “touching”
See now, task was to get the potato in the hole without touching the red green.
Just walk up to the hole and drop the potato in. Potato didn’t touch the red green. Potato made it in the hole without touching the red green. You just got the potato in the hole without touching the red green.
Hold up… the red thing… is called a green?
In golf the area around the hole is called a “green”. In this situation “green” means “close area around the hole”. So they cant touch the red area around the hole
J ok thanks
Katherine’s breakdown is my favorite moment of Taskmaster. So much emotion over something so simple. A lifetime of repressed frustration let out over a potato (not) going in a hole.
+1!! I come back to this episode so very often. Her reaction is so recognisable and genuine. It must be difficult to live in a world where sports play such a large part in everyone’s daily life, news and conversations when it doesn’t bring you joy or entertainment like it does most people. Honest and relatable.
She must have thought at the time that her breakdown would be the part of the task that everyone would talk about. And it would be, if not for the whole Joe situation.
Have you seen her balloon story on Cats does Countdown? Similar, although way more sinister.
This is the english version of B.i.t ( from sweden)
this is a subtle commentary of how modern society is scared of increasingly socialist policies (as depicted through the red carpet).
This just got recommended to me
And I don’t know why
I don’t even know this show xD
well obviously because it’s the greatest sports moment of all time 😉
same! but now, i want more!
Yo what, just walk over and put it in. As long as you got shoes on it’s the same as the guy who put down a tarp. They try to bash you for it you just take your shoes off and chuck them on the red, then ask if that’s ok.
I would argue that if we had a different camera angle, we would be able to see if he is actually touching the red or not. His shoe could have still been a bit above it. Since it can’t be proven either way, the act must be disregarded. Give Joe his win
Americans: just use a stick to drop the potato into the hole
That’s how we won two world wars
@Adam Baldwin and you’re still not free
@David Smith I’m glad you’ve decided my personal state of affairs. Thanks bud.
@Adam Baldwin i decided nothing for you, just pointing out your reality.
@David Smith as you see it friend. Cheers
His shoe has a bend. I don’t think it actually touched.
This is the best recommended video I ever got
how is this a show?
It didn’t say I couldn’t touch it.…just the potato can’t touch it
I would’ve just rolled the green over until I reached the whole and place the potato in
1:43 couldn’t she have kept sweeping until she could drop the potato in the hole?
That’s what the host was saying; “you found a way to move the green…and you decide to tie a potato” (misquoting but that’s the jist)
Pretty funny
Did you hear about great tragedy of Joe Wilkinson?
“potato in the golf hole” sounds ridiculously dirty.
These people aren’t very smart. I’d just walk up to the hole and put it in. I’m wearing shoes so IM not touching the green. Same as if I were to have placed a tarp.
you learn things about them when they have to vote
Richard is an honest man he defended Joe throughout the whole thing, katherine didn’t want to break his heart
Jon is such a stickler to rules he can’t allow it and doc is a little shit
Joe is just the best
@Alonso i don’t know
Yeah you have them all sussed out, agree with that perception
Jon also would have won with Joe disqualified so there’s that.
Uhhhhhhhh
What’s a red green?
Thats easy, green isnt red
So wait, Katheryne used her boot as a tool to touch the red green. Richard put something beneath his feet to count as not touching it. So at what point do your shoes count as you? Because it was only the tip of Joe’s shoe touching.
There YouTube, I fucking watched it. I skip over the video 20 times and it still shows up in my recommend instead of my subscriptions.
I can’t even imagine what they did before we had potatoes
Harry Heller potatoes aren’t an invention bruh
@EXY It’s a joke and as potatoes originated from South America, there was a time before ‘we’, which I’m assuming means people in the UK, had potatoes.
@EXY r/woooosh
@EXY that’s what the Irish want you to think
I reckon the Irish mostly starved really.
Kind of a cruel joke to put the potato and the Irish on opposite ends of the globe when you think about it.
If you look at the tips of his shoes, like a lot of other types of shoes, the tips are pointed up a bit. The part that was supposedly touching the red was actually tilted up, so it really wasn’t touching the red at all.
It doesn’t matter. It’s his shoe that touches the green. All the other contestants also touch the green with some sort of extension, but since it’s not with a part of their bodies, it is allowed.
But he was leaning forward, so his weight likely pressed the toe downward enough to touch.
@John Luu this has been an oddly inclusive argument about a person throwing a potato into a hole
@Alex G this is very important, it may decide the faith of the universe itself
Watching Katherine cry about sports has such cancer ♋️ energy. We love to see it
Omg i read it the red screen i act like an idiot not touching all the red colors
What’s red green?
Denis Guba The green is the direct area around the hole on the golf course. On this area, the grass is planted different, the pattern is different, and player must employ a different club – a putter- to roll the ball into the hole.
Hmm… The definition of touch can be interpreted. Based on definitions they all lost.
How? Some of them didn’t touch the red green.
ME: *walks up & puts it in* “im wearin shoes, that’s not touching”
Am I the only one who does not understand what the “red green” is ??!
“the green” is a a term in golf for the area directly around the hole, in this case that area is coloured red, hence the red (coloured) green
Bararo thanks
Just walk over it. Red and green is brown
I would’ve just walked over the red green. My shoes are touching it not me. These guys got no brain 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Never seen this show due to being an American. Clearly scripted tho
Each of them touch the red welcome mat a the door, so they all loose.
Sad, sad people.
But the rules was not that they couldn’t touch anything red, it was that they couldn’t touch the red green, which was the green around the hole, not the mat.
that’s not the red green though innit it
I would of used the gutter
WTH is wrong with the girl she pushed it away but she still insists on tossing it in instead of folding it to make the distance shorter
Her on the brink of crying for no reason was the hottest thing i lost so hard
I always loved Joe
and im pretty sure im the only person i know that knows of him or any of these people
Is it just me or are all of them dumb af
What were they doing inside that house?
bastard
just stand on the red green then point to one of the many youtube videos that say you technically can never touch anything
Ah yes, the red green
What is this?
IS THAT THE GUY FROM THE INBETWEENERS
“in the golf hole” ahh, I love when stupid people make videos…
That’s funny, I hate it when obnoxious people make comments.
@Thomas Stevens the irony is palpable
That guy made a stick long enough to push it into the hole. Then proceeded to throw the potato and use the pole to pull the potato
How are not more people talking about Katherin’s breakdown about how little she cares about sport??? 😂😂 That was one of the funniest things l’ve seen! “I don’t care where thr ball goes” had me dying xD
That woman was so sincerely troubled by the fact that most sports are get the ball in the hole
They should not have stopped the clock and been all congratulations if they had any doubts
Omg the title says green but they mean red..
so they cheated, got it
Imagine getting hugs and a giant audience clapping for you, just for throwing a potato into a hole.
This is what the world thinks about Ireland
Hey! That’s how I was made!
It’s about the emotional trauma
Imagine that taken away moments later
Then have it all taken away.
Proof that men are smarter
That was fucking bullshit, the perfect throw counts for nothing just because his front shoe touched the carpet just a little?
Fuck off, he should at least have gotten points for it or something.
Taking the victory from someone on a technicality, that’s the pettiest thing you can do in a sport.
This is probably the first time Ive heard someone called a “fuckin dalek” as an insult
the girls a fucking idiot
shes had so much surgery that a side splitting smile just looks like slight discomfort.
Red green..
*HMMMMMMMM*
That was millimeters not centimeters.. I thought metric was supposed to be easier Lol
Why are you guys copying a norwegain show ‘’kongen befaler’’
Kongen befaler er den norske versjonen av Taskmaster😐
they are wearing shoes just walk over and put it in the hole.
best part is there is no prize for winning ! beats watching grown men play with Lego’s for money all day .
Katherine is so stupid holy shit. Why was she ever on the show to begin with? As the female distraction factor or what?
why not just use a rope tied to it?
wait she did lol
Doc saying “harsh” is the funniest part of this to me.
Wtf is this
So it’s legal for a dude to put a tarp under his feet and walk on it but shoes can not touch it. Double standards
Why would you have a red green
If you all like this, you really should be watching korean game shows like Running Man
Why tf did that bitch start to cry? What the hell
“The red green”. Some things are truly language-specific.
When I hear “Red Green”, I think of a certain Canadian show.
And remember, if the ladies don’t find you handsome, they’ll at least find you handy.
it’s just a golf term that literally everyone knows
green is a golf term for the shorter grass around the hole
In this case “green” is a location and noun. The shortest grass around a golf hole. So the red green.
My favourite bit is that Doc and Jon take taskmaster so seriously that they wouldn’t give up the points (SPOILER) to someone who wasn’t going to win anyway
That’s my least favourite bit! How can you take a game so seriously and besides, even if, if you looked closely enough I’m sure everyone “touched” it
Taskmaster is a really good show!
Technically speaking though he did not “touch” the red.
The shoe, classically, is known as the agent of the foot.
To be honest, he used something green to not touch the red. I don’t get it. I know it’s a golf term, but they should have made the green, well.. green.
I feel so bad I almost cried for him.
“Without touching the red green”
Color blind people: the what
@VerusLuciferum thanks so much i was so confused
To them it’s just grey-grey…
Dude that is so true. I was like “but the whole thing is red? Where is the green?”
What a great comment!
Hahaha my brother is colorblind and this made him LOL
What do they mean with red green?
Just walk on it, you are not touching it with your shoes
From Katherine being moved to tears about hating sports, to Jon’s gnome-running, to Joe burying the potato, the gloating, the reveal, the desperation, the vote, then to Doc’s “that is harsh”…this is the task that keeps on giving.
An all time great…
It is one of the funniest pieces of television ever, and unscripted.
And the suspicion on Joe’s face…..beautiful.
@thomas reddy that easily can be an optical illusion. Red green can be higher on grass stalks so it can look like he is standing on it 🙂 i think they have more Cams views so they would show it in final
But it’s red so?!
4 AM gotta work at 10 AM and I’m watching people competitively throw a potato in a hole…
Should have brought back the red and had him retry chucking the potato in. If he gets it in again he gets 10 points, if he misses he gets – 5 but he can choose to not take the gamble and take the 0.
To be honest, my first thought after seeing the slow-mo was about those few centimeters as well.
Am i stupid or is this like a british thing: What The Fuck Is Red Green… that color is red like tf
A green is the part off a golfcourse closest to the hole. And, usually, is green. The taskmaster-green, however, is red. I hope this makes it clearer.
Tjitske Vermaning oh ok i get it thx
wait, so why not just put a board over the red green, and walk across to drop the potato in the hole?
I don’t see Red Green anywhere, and nobody has any duct tape.
Or Harold
“That was harsh”— my takeaway is that people who may appear to be on your side are sociopaths some of the time.
Wow. I guess he did it as a joke. But. Just wow.
“That was harsh” was the well played and the funniest piece of gamesmanship, on the show.
I don’t understand this show but it’s hilarious
Omg, Joe Wilkinson is a legend 😂😂
This is probably the best thing to come out of the UK since Prince Harry married an American.
Joe is the hope for this challenging modern world 🌍
Var ruins everything
Red Green? Any other Canadians?
I was pretty disappointed in Katherine not referencing him
I like to think it got cut
Unfair.. that irish look gave him extraordinary proficiency with potatoes!
This is an amazing showcase of how to make a man throwing a potato in a hole impressive.
So she moved the green a little to retrieve the potato and then kept struggling instead of just moving it all the way
What is red green
British humor sucks
Why not just walk onto the green.
5:21 his shoe touched
Why did she start crying?
Nobody:
The girl: .
This is amazing
They should have just rolled it it up.
what the fuck is this shit?
Nogle danskere der ser en kopi af Stormester her? Eller er det bare mig
On this edition of “Why is this in my Recommendations”
I would’ve asked the other guy to walk it over for me. Lol
As an American, I have no clue what the fuck this is
what the hell does this have to do with green
VAR!
So sad
Solution: make the red green not red anymore
What if i mess up?
*throws*.
There we go.
Lmao! Only Joe Wilkinson could have done something like that.
This was a rollercoaster of emotions.
When he sunk it I replayed it twice
Then I kept watching and he said “let’s watch that again”
I almost skipped it.….……
.….….….….….….…..you poor poor man.…. I’m so sorry.….….…..
Am I the only person who would have gone suicide and just jumped from the edge and dove at the hole and tossed it in just before I landed.…?
Joe is the only one who abided by the actual rules.
Everyone else touched the red green with SOMETHING. Joe…nothin’ but net. Er, hole.
EDIT: wAIT
Wtf is a green
Yes those 2 cm might have made a difference, but he wasn’t aware of em, so he made the shot as if the circle was 2cm smaller. Had he put his foot at the correct distance, he would have corrected his shot and the probability of getting it in would be the same. This is an absolute disgrace. Rules aren’t made to be followed to a tee. You have to apply the spirit of the law, not the word. I will be contacting the Federation Internationale de Lancé de Patate (FILP for short, or international potato chucking federation) shortly and they will persecute the Taskmaster as I, and they certainly too, see fit. Good luck old chap, you’re going down.
He didn’t touch the red green his shoe did. If laying down a sled is allowed then why not your very own shoes.
What’s so hard? Just walk over there and put it in!
This video has everything! It’s got humor, emotional breakdowns, a sentimental moment, an impressive althletic achievement quickly followed up with a dramatic controversial twist. A grown man is on his knees begging for forgiveness at one point and then backstabbed by his peers! This video is perfection!
Seriously these british participants are boring and non creative compared to those of the danish show
Nobody commenting on how Katherine called her own time “not bad”? Sheesh.
2:56
5:59
So sad. I also get the feeling that Joe was not the only one who actually had touched the circle. I feel so sorry for him.
5:21
@Nahele Shiriki Nice catch
@Nahele Shiriki and then he makes a big fuss at the end
“i’m stupid feel sorry for me” haha
the fuck is the red green?
I gasped in awe. I cheered. And then they zoomed in on the slow-mo.
I actually yelled out “No!” when I saw his foot touch the carpet.
Until that moment I had never really cared about sports. Until that moment. I think I get it now.
~Cat~
I would assume it included the grass lol.
When she pulled out the broom and started moving the green, I thought, brilliant, she is just going to roll it up out of her way and then walk right up to the hole and drop the potato in… But that would’ve been too easy, huh?
I was expecting one of them to crawl under the green and place it in the hole but then realized that by doing so, the person would still be touching the green (the underside).
Sorry but they said the Red Green which to me meant any part of the Red that is touching Green.
The entiretly of Joe’s attempt was obviously the best thing to come out of this task, but I think close second would be Alex eagerly jumping up to hug Greg seconds after he hugged Katherine during her sports meltdown
fck VAR
What the *hell* is a *red* *green* ?!
One of the most exciting bits of television I’ve ever seen. Bless the Taskmaster
Joe was mad impressive and then they crushed him.….
Katherine is so precious
She’s adorable
