When I first saw that clip I was wondering if she had changed his name to something else nasty but in the end it was a good change.

Too bad *that* is a scam.

@@ryanjcole lighten up you weirdo

@@ryanjcole yeah but it works as a joke

It’s called a “gag-gift”. It’s no more a scam than buying a star. It’s a novelty item, the certificate is the product

@taskmaster Yes Please!

Yes!!!!

@@davidsonwilliams9194 do people fall for these ?

I was honestly thinking that very thing a few days ago during my daily taskmasting

Yes please

The stunned silence afterwards... 🤣🤣

Joe's face!

Yeah, that pun (is it a pun?) was lost on so many people when the episode aired, "I'm currently sitting on 2,000 pounds". That is how business people describe the capital they can afford to invest, "Well I'm currently sitting on half a million..."

"im sitting on 2000 in cash"

@@krashd Yeah, it just comes from having your pay-packet (wages in cash at the end of the week) in your back pocket at the pub.

Not sure why but he always gives me the feeling of someone who grew up having to learn some of the shadier things in life lol

@@ameliapowell516 . Well ... 40+ years ago (when I was a teenager), my pal had a car ... but couldn't afford fuel ... so, a late night walk with a hose and a big ish bottle ... problem solved. This is why modern fuel tanks have a cage to stop hoses reaching the fuel.

Rhod is a true idiotic genius !

I was 100% expecting him to just push the fishbowl off the table to break it and then put the entire change jar into the metal one first time.

correction: he spilled an entire fishbowl of water on the carpet AFTER failing the task trying to carry the fishbowl away

You know it's not going to go well if he doesn't start the task by laying face down with his fingers over his eyes.

Greg is awesome!

from what ive seen behind the scenes of the show, they genuinely get along for the most part. Theres been some....certain people who werent as amiable but most of the contestants and hosts get along well and its all good fun

@@afedorchak77 who wasn't as amicable?

Same. Got to love Old Moneybags and his nefarious schemes!

Richard Herring

Richard Herring is this by definition lmao and he still won 😂

Dude is in desperate need of money. You know the costs of taking care of them teeth?

Had me in stitches

Right? It was brought back for I think 3 seasons- long enough for it to seem like to was going to be a regular thing- and then they dropped it. I loved how creative everyone got with it trying to one up each other!

Scam or not, Greg Davies is a lord in our heart.

One of the most iconic taskmaster moments for sure!

My smile dropped in a fucking femtosecond when she said "I bought a square foot of land" though

"I *changed* it!"

Not sure you needed to add the 'or no scam' part

It’s contagiously adorable

Joe Lycett saying “pennies” weirdly was the highlight of my afternoon

@@r.g.9717 Joe Lycett is one of the best contestants TM has ever had!

That was a joke. Ben was filming on the Southbank and Al made a quip about his dad being foreign secretary or something. He got Ben to shout out answers across the river

You could argue that the show became what it is because people like Josh pulling that legendary move!

Almost everyone that has appeared on Taskmaster are friends though, the UK has quite a tight-knit comedy community where everyone passes in and out of everyone else's circles by guesting in their sitcoms or being invited on to their panel shows so Josh knew that even if Taskmaster's first series never saw the light of day he would still have a daft and funny tattoo that he could tease Greg with for years to come.

It could also be a fake tatoo that disappears after several months

@@krashd seriously, when i saw the awards website for the comedy tv shows EVERYONE was there lmfaooo even the foreign contestants

@@Mysteriums68 I only learned about biodegradable ink being used for temporary tattoos and I think it's pretty cool. Also I think foot and hand tattoos go away easily due to the kind of skin

Some say he now roams the magical helms, conning young dragons out of their gems just to cross a bridge.

just as shameful as Alex for always taking the money

My immediate thought was "well, they can touch the big bowl, so why not siphon the water out?". Then I remembered that no Taskmaster contestant other than Al knows how to siphon 😅

Or if you have a checkbook?

@@22espec I don't, because we stopped using this antiquated mode of payment about two decades ago. Cash is probably going next. Requires a functioning banking infrastructure, of course. ;-)

9:00 they must have cut the spitshine that happened after this, shame, Greg's joyous giggles were heartwarming

The early series were all so top notch, I'd forgotten. I hope they do do some rematches one day.

Me too, we just lost the Legendary Lock to cancer 😢

it's still advertised as something that it's not, you don't get any land, and you don't get any lordship title or anything, you literally pay £20 or whatever to get a piece of paper. None of the money even goes to charity

to be fair, no one is entitled to call themselves anything. it's all entirely made up and anyone else can just make up whatever else if they want to.

Sadly not. It would be except their advertising (both their own spots and spots done by other people) really try to push the idea that its an actual official loophole. Lots of people do think its actually true. If it was just a gag gift - and its certainly true that just about nobody actually takes being a "lord" or "lady" seriously - it would be fine, but they are intentionally misleading about it.

@@Charlie59876 Wrong. You do sponsor a piece of land that you can visit, you also get a title that may not be recognisable by any government or institution but which can only be used with the permission of the clan that gave you it. As a Fraser I could style myself as Lord Robert Fraser of Lovat but since I have never been recognised by my ancestral clan (the Frasers of Lovat) they would have the right to demand that I stop using that title. What Highland Titles have done is made an agreement with the MacDonald's of Glencoe to raise money for their land in return for allowing sponsors of their land to legally use the 'Lord (or Lady) of Glencoe' title. It's a legitimate thing. I have no idea where the "It's all a scam" nonsense came from. An American who has ancestry in both Scotland and England fell in love with Scotland and upon hearing that reforestation efforts here are hampered by the fact that most clan leaders do not have the funds to properly upkeep their lands he came up with a business proposal - he partnered with the MacDonald's of Glencoe to sell (really sponsor) tiny bits of land in exchange for the buyer to style them self as a Lord of Glencoe. 85% of the sale goes to reforesting clan territory and 15% goes to the American. Yes - it's a business, but name me one business where the owner/CEO doesn't make a profit. Highland Titles have won awards for the contribution they have made to reforesting my country and I thank them for it, they have also reintroduced a few species from mainland Europe that had been hunted to extinction in Scotland.

@@krashd people here are referencing the recent furor over a company called Established Titles. Popular KZfaq creators have pushed them as paid sponsorship and the language this specific company is using is getting every hot and bothered. Highland Titles is not the company people are referencing in this comment section.

the bag had a hole in it, but they could've taped it closed

Greg needs to go back and remove points from it.

anyone could have told you it was a scam, frankly. that sort of novelty title has been floating around for decades

I'm surprised that anyone took it seriously at all.

These kinds of scams have been around for years and years along with the similar name-a-star scam and such. Thankfully, knowledge that they're scams is becoming more widespread but they were known scams back when the original episode aired too

Its still such a funny interaction regardless. It’s one of my favorites

Series 1-12 are still on the their page. You can watch them anytime.

2 million is still more.

@@dubious6718 No, it would not be in the sense of value because it is valued around 72 pounds in the UK. Joe brought in 250 pounds worth of pennies. Also, if we were to go with number of bills against number of pennies, 10 bills are still a lot less than the number of pennies Joe brought.

@@nicholaspatton3797 The task is most cash, not highest value in pounds.

I'm slightly baffled, but I feel the need to point out. It's 25,000 pennies. There's 100 pennies to the pound. 250 x 100 = 25,000 Stay in school kids.

@@CrysJaL I can only assume they thought, for some reason, it was 250 pounds in weight of pennies? I have NO idea how they got those numbers otherwise.

Less than lolly with her 2k
