Farthest?

lous legs melt me

my dog went ballistic when Sian celebrated

The hoc line clasically frame because tanker posteriorly print including a hoc pancake. brainy, abiding activity

Love Taskmaster - but as an aside, four sets of adverts on an eight and a half minute video is pure ball-ache!

Sian should have gotten the bonus point

Sian is the only one who got points

Why didn't he put the goals side by side 😂

He looks soo much like the guy from Suits.

There might be a bonus point is another way of saying "There won't be a bonus point but please embarrass yourself anyway".

I absolutely love this show

If the last guy just had put the goals next to eachother, instead of the small goal behind the big goal, he probably would have won

I absolutely love this show

5:17 You're welcome

Do Brits really say “furthest” instead of “farthest” when measuring distance?

And I just realised I dont know the difference between those two words

Yes they do. Funny enough we've discussed that in school yesterday

Wow, soccer has to be the lamest little-girl game in the history of Earth. I won't call it a "sport" until committing insurance fraud is considered a sport.

@dagge * It's a little girls' game, not a sport. Sports don't end in ties or no-scores.

It's the most popular sport in the world so your opinion doesn't matter

Iains face 🤣

miles away from me.

Every once in awhile I get caught up in watching British game show reruns and they're so good. US gameshows are just people on a stage

7:00 Sums up the state of Scottish football quite well.

I would have pushed the goal towards the ball

When is Greg gonna do an entire episode with his Eubanks voice????

Sian is beautiful. Love the show, "love, love, love," as the Beatles say.

This show is not fun anymore.

I'd probably set the ball 10 cm in front of the goal line and then score easily, hoping the others overestimate themself. Especially with that bad Underground.

If he placed the small goal next to the bigger one, it would have been in...

3:31 me after getting a perfect score on GeoGuessr

Very ever so clearly goes in the net "is that a goal" 😂👌

Sian’s shot was actually nice

The task is framed as though she chose to do it from much closer than the others, but she's only a bit closer, and she got it pretty cleanly.

Ian sterling scot sterlings brother!!!!!!!!

At least if Scott Sterling were there he would’ve had an excuse for not scoring😂

7:00 Sums up the state of Scottish football quite well.

Scottish soccer

I knew Sian would be the only one to score

I just had a brilliant ok idea: since the rules are as loose as just "score a goal from the furthest distance" I would have just done it in a game where the servers physically exist miles away from me.

How dyou mean?

this task was simple to win: go with Alex to a bar and order a shot(you only get one shot). Score(give it a score 1-10) a goal and celebrate it by drinking the shot. EZ

paul is my spirit animal, like we just vibe

Good God, I haven't played football since grade school but I still could have hit the massive goal that Ian used.

@Sogard Ah, I proved you wrong so now you're just bitter. Cool.

@Collin O'Toole because "Insurance Fraud Actor's Guild" wouldn't fit on the original building.

@Sogard Uh-Huh, then why is the England governing body called The Football Association and league called the English Football League?

@Collin O'Toole according to Britain, Association Football is known as Soccer to avoid confusion with Rugby Football.

@Sogard Not according to the majority of the world.

Sian would be better than most chelsea players

Couldn't they have gotten Alex to chase after the ball while carrying the small goal?

the bigger brain plays

Kinda disappointed that none of them pointed out the grammatical difference between farthest and furthest

@Julie E No, further/furthest cannot be correctly applied to literal distances

In this context wouldn't either be correct though? Both can be used when describing distance, but if you have more abstract context, then you'd use "furthest" only?

@David Lewis Exactly, but the point is that the contestants could’ve used that as a loophole—shooting the soccer ball from a foot away while being despondent and verbally reluctant to talk to Alex would’ve been the “furthest” (in emotional distance)

Is a pretty simple rule. Distance=farthest, hopes and dreams=furthest. I guess I did feel a need to point out something that simple.

We're not all grammarians. I know the difference, but don't feel a need to point it out. We get the gist.

Sian Gibson is cute af

I can't believe he misseeed 😂😂 and by a meter or so! 😭

Lou Sanders is damn pretty

Iain could still have scored by playing it a bit more intelligently and putting the little goal next to the big one

Big brain play

i feel like the moment he decided to wheel in the full-sized goal was the moment he guaranteed failure

I am a bit annoyed that tasks from the "current" youtube season are being uploaded in front of the whole episode

how do you miss that fucking massive goal... I mean, it was obvious he was going to miss, with the way they set it up, but still

On an uneven lawn from 34 meters it's actually not that easy to score a goal. I've seen premier league players miss far easier shots on an empty goal (albeit with a bit more pressure). He should score there, but it's by no means a given.

I would have turned around and shot the ball through the treeline and make any two trees where the ball passes through my goal. As a kid you sometimes had to improvise a goal like that. I would've somehow make it miss anyway though 😅

Would it have counted if one ordered a goal ('scored a goal') on AliExpress...?

I wouldn't presume to suggest that the Taskmaster is predictable, but when i heard about the bonus point i immediately thought,, "naaahh"

if you don't like these videos... YOU CAN GO BACK TO RUSSIA!!!! LOL

Just give the goal a score from like km away, since the task didn't mention getting the football into the goal

@TheUniversegirl99 If you score a goal, you score a goal

"if you don't score a goal, you're disqualified"

THANKS

The more I see of Ian, the more I can't stand him

@PokemonTom09 Maybe you're right. Hadn't thought about it like that.

@Angel Okoro Rewatch the video from the start, and pay attention to Iain, keeping in mind that he knows exactly how poorly he did. Tell me: where exactly does he even slightly let on that he's not having fun in the lead up to his attempt being shown? To me, he seems to be genuinely enjoying it. Also "that groan"? Wtf are you talking about, it was less than a second and was a very momentary cry of defeat. Litertally every contestant has made a similar noise at such crushing defeats. It's not Iain's fault they replayed that groan 5 times.

@PokemonTom09 The immediate reaction, that painful groan, the way he tries to suppress his anger every time he fails. He tries his best to cover it up and smile, I agree with you there. There have been other competitive guests, like Rhod Gilbert for example. But it always seemed to act in good fun, and Ian rarely looks like he's actually enjoying himself.

Literally what about this task did he do that you disliked? He had a brilliant solution to the task, failed anyway, and despite that was still smiling through the whole thing. He didn't disparage anyone else, and made light of his own shortcomings. Yeah, he is overly competitive, but absolutely none of that comes through here in this task.

Why couldn't the US version be like this? It's super garbage.

Never heard of a US version. Does it go by "Taskmaster"? No doubt it sucks.

I think it was actually on CW or some other network TV station no one cares about.

I didn’t even know there was an American version, what streaming service is it on?

The biggest problem with the US version is that the duration is 30 minutes instead of 60 minutes. With ads you get 20 minutes of the show which hardly leaves any time for banter. In the original taskmaster, Greg seems all powerful and isn't afraid to humiliate anyone. Reggie is not as acerbic as Greg. Also, it has the same tasks which makes it a bit boring for those who have already seen the UK version.

I have a big smile on my face. Thank you Alex! Thank you Greg! Thank you contestants!

Couldn't they bring the goal at the bottom of a long steep road and shoot the ball so it would roll all the way down, guided by the gutter!

@L33TTechReviewer Soccer goals are usually stored back to back at parks for league games so it was probably fairly easy to get as long as they got a key for the lock. If it was on the next field over it probably only took a minute or two to set it all up

@D Faria how'd they manage to get or find a large net for Iain in 5 minutes? What are the limitations of the tasks

I don’t think they would’ve had enough time since they only had 5 minutes. But that’s a good idea!

God, I love Sian. Sian, are you reading me? I LOVE YOU

😂👍

Fun fact: Sian´s celebration inspired the task where they had to run while making a continuous noise

Arguably she should have gotten the bonus for best celebration.

😜🙌

@A RB Is her celebration noise a longer continuous noise than the one in the actual noise task? Would be nice, but I didn't pay much attention during this season.

I’m pretty sure they filmed both those tasks in the same field, and alex has the same can of spray paint in both. So that makes 3 deja vu moments weirdly. The taskmaster simulation is glitching i guess😂

@Marc Mansfield Sorry probably should have made it clear I was joking. I just find it funny, that she either, basically re-enacts another task or, what would be even funnier, does a task before she actually has to do it.

How do I find out where Lou's dress is from... it's gorgeous (don't know if I could pull it off, but still would love to try)

Honestly, Iain deserved to miss that goal. Terrible form on that kick.

Sean's wasn't much better. Looked like a toe kick, but the soccer gods were with her that day

Life goals: do something with my life so one day i can be on task master!

@mom2mmpt yes the greatest humor is self deprecating

Seriously! Time to think about entering the world of comedy. I'm not necessarily funny, but I'm all for public humiliation. Woo!

I would have said I was the goalie/keeper and used my hands, but probably still missed

*farthest

Farthest is distance, furthest is more. Spot on, mate.

Let's be honest, this whole task was just an excuse for Alex to spray the paint around the ball.

i love yes

he should've put the goals next to each other to give himself a little better odds yet lol

Tbh, he probably was convinced he can't miss 🤣

@Benjamin Lim 🤣🤣🤣 I swear I commented almost the exact same thing a few min ago.

With his luck, he would have struck the posts in between the two goals.

Bosh

Y'know Ian could've just put the smaller goal post next to the bigger one to get even more area 😂

@Antonio Excatly. I wouldn't even move the goal, just go to the actually nice green and shot. The place this task took place wasn't an accident, most tasks are meant to leave room for some trickery.

If you can get 1 goal from a training ground, surely you can get 2? Maybe 4, or even more! I'd get em all!

SCIENCE!!!

@Rik de Graaff Haha, love that it didn't matter, the rest is diddling. Clearly allowed it? Nevermind, can't wait for next series!

@David Lewis It wasn't dubious at all. Greg clearly allowed it and the task didn't specify whch goal you have to score in.

Life lesson here. You don't have to be a huge success. But everyone else just needs to fail miserably.

Even if you have big help, you might fail if you dont put in work :D

Ahhahaahaa

Basically Steven Bradbury and Australia's first Winter Gold medal.

😂 so true& clever. Can't believe no one replied to this until now. 👍

I predicted the fail when I saw the big goal.

@Jaws Trock omg! I haven't think of that! You are clever!

I would have put both goals side by side for a eve wider area XD

And the fact they said he was going to be shown last

Never stop posting please

couldve given her six points

Sian running into the treeline squealing is my sleep paralysis demon

A task for Bobby Moore

Joe wilkinson’s potato throw and Mark Watson’s 148 out of 150 cheeky texts live on in infamy as the most tragic taskmaster moments, but I think Iain’s goal has got to be up there. Like a solid third at least. The Shakespearean tragedy of it 😭

james acasters hulaing was a strong one too

Tim Vine's hook though.

No

How about Vegas' house of beer mats?

@Jayk1406 okay good point 😂 I still can't get Iain's comment from the volcano episode "I genuinely don't want to talk about it" out of my head

I absolutely love this show

Sian with an absolute BANGER

They’ve realised I can’t live without taskmaster and are posting more or less every day!

@Ina Bothwick yes!

@What Did I Just Watch great isn’t it

This show is wicked! 😆

I'm grateful for this achievement! We're many that benefit from your hard work.

I just discovered this show and i am loving it!

First! Love TaskMaster

Brightening my day with every upload!
