Taskmasterclass E02

[taskmastersource]

Channel 4 is to air a series of Taskmaster specials in which Greg Davies and Alex Horne lift the lid on the "best, worst and somewhat middling tasks" from their hit show Taskmaster.

Due to start on Thursday 6th June at 9pm on Channel 4, the week after Series 17 of the show has concluded, Taskmasterclass will be a nod to the brains behind the tasks, and feature interviews with former contestants about their time on the programme. Greg Davies and Little Alex Horne narrate the hour-long episodes.

In the first episode, the hosts will discuss "whether there is any point to the seemingly pointless tasks on Taskmaster", looking in the process at tasks that featured contestants including Guz Khan, Ed Gamble, Jo Brand, Paul Chowdhry and Morgana Robinson.

Taskmasterclass is the latest project linked to the format to be revealed. The show's VR game launches on 13th June, and Junior Taskmaster - a series featuring 9 to 11 year-old contestants with Rose Matafeo as the Taskmaster and Mike Wozniak as her assistant - is set to air on TV later this year.

I have a theory about why the opinions I’ve seen on Taskmasterclass are so polarized:

It’s blatant fanservice.

✅ Alex and Greg fully in character

✅ Greg speaking in a particularly low, sexy voice. (“But Ody!” you might say. “Isn’t his voice always low and sexy?” Not like this, poppet- go put on headphones, close your eyes, and you can clearly hear the difference between studio!Greg and voiceover!Greg. The way he practically growls “Ohh, lovely…” and “Naughty…” into his mic… my gods.)

✅ Greg enjoying Guz slapping the space hopper

✅ “Greedy little piggy!!” and the supercuts of insults and humiliation

✅ “And yet, I will still hunt you.”

✅ “I think we’re going to have to talk about tonight’s sanctions… naughty…”

✅ “When we’re at home…” carpet snake clip and the reference to Alex cooking Greg’s eggs daily

✅ GREG TELLING ALEX “I LOVE YOU” FOR THE FIRST TIME!

✅ Rhod’s “Excite Alex” attempt which is one of the kinkiest things on the whole show

✅ “Oh, Alex… you can never leave. Never.”

✅ Lovely hug clip at the end, with Greg eyeing the camera

If you’re a fan who’s seen all the episodes and doesn’t ship Taskhusbands, maybe it’s just a repetitive clip show. I fully respect your opinion. But if you’re a hopeless shipper with a raging Greg Davies voice kink… well. I think it’s worth your time.

If we can't have it, we can create the illusion, right?

“you found all the hiding places in the house, so now i can never hide from you again”

“and yet i will still hunt you”

[traitorleech]

greg finally said "i love you" to alex after 17 series. wow. didn't expect that to happen here.

[sowhatsthesituation]

Taskmasterclass was good, but I wanted more statistics

I don't care if Greg finds them boring, Alex, give us the stats! You can borrow my egg breaking stats if you want

[ahiddenducky]

just watched Taskmasterclass (yes im a but late oopsies) but agahhdnsjkshsvs i. am. feral. over the commentary. "I'm mean because I love you and I want you to be stronger". LIKE HUH. also the last bit of commentary between the both of them 🫠 Ha ha. 🎀 im so normal about them!

(i also sort of suspected the 'how to win taskmaster' was a sort of tester for taskmasterclass and i suppose its sort of correct? seems very similar anyway just that the commentary now has greg too, which i would never argue about ofc)

[richardsphere]

So taskmaster just released the first episode of their "tasmasterclass" spin-off and i've gotta ask. Isnt it kind of redundant to make a clipshow of a series whose premise was already a clipshow?

Don’t forget Taskmasterclass is on tonight at 9PM on Channel 4

GREEDY LITTLE PIGGY! TaskmasterCLASS s01e01 SPOILERS

[taskmasteristics]

are you guys pronouncing this new show as “task-masterclass” or “taskmaster-class”

[traitorleech]

now that i had some time to reflect on taskmasterclass, i think i figured out why it left me kind of disappointed. a lot of it comes down to my expectations to be honest 'cos going in, all i read about taskmasterclass were the show and episode descriptions.

It's the weirdest and most wonderful competition on television. But is there method behind Taskmaster's madness? Greg Davies and Little Alex Horne reveal all, with the help of some willing victims.

Greg Davies and Alex Horne unpack the wit and wisdom of Taskmaster. Is there any point to the purportedly pointless tasks? With Guz Khan, Ed Gamble, Jo Brand, Paul Chowdhry, Morgana Robinson and more.

going off of that, i assumed taskmasterclass was going to be similar to how to win taskmaster, but with greg and alex (and potentially guests) talk about it out of character. you know like, analysing certain tasks and how contestants approached them with them giving their reasoning, maybe why alex worded a task a certain way and what he was hoping contestants would go for off the back of it, what they were looking for when they scored the task, etc. maybe i read it wrong (not gonna exclude that possibility. we know about reading comprehension on this website). i think a lot if not all of my disappointment could have been averted if somewhere they would have very clearly stated that it's an in-universe look at that question, that it's not greg and alex doing it but the taskmaster and the assistant.

because if they had mentioned that, i would have been absolutely over the moon with how it turned out. it was a fun analysis by the taskmaster and little alex horne about why the show is the way it is within the taskmaster universe. plus the amount of fan service we got out of it (not gonna complain about that lol).

i think were the descriptions worded a little differently, had they mentioned it was in-universe, there would be fewer people left dissatisfied by the approach of the episode. because, as i said, if i take it at face value; that it's the taskmaster and the assistant talking about the show, then i won't hesitate to agree it was a lot of fun to watch.

at least if we get a second episode of taskmasterclass i know what to expect now.

though i still would like a more in-depth analysis by alex and perhaps greg about the points mentioned above. anyway, i did like the episode and it was a fun treat thrown to the hardcore taskmaster fans (and probably mainly for the utterly obsessed taskhusbands shippers of which i'm a part of).
