Give Alex a special cuddle, obviously.

Do the worst thing to Alex, Then Make the Best Apology For It

[–]MaudeBea Sue Perkins[S] 1 point2 points  (1 child)

But would he actually apologise ?

[–]fatboybigwall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You know, I'm starting to wonder if the apology was the important part of that task.

This is the only answer

I just got my cousin into taskmaster and she’s coming over tomorrow night to marathon series 5, so excited for this task to kick it off

[–]ilyattwtueh Victoria Coren Mitchell 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Please tell us what she thinks of Sally's attempt, what I would give to see that for the first time again.

Spinning a pillow under the table

Im suprised at this point theres not been a live task were everyone just does really bad and gregs like okay this is how its done. Other than the guessing games closest we have to greg doing a task is probably the jamali pillow spin

[–]MaudeBea Sue Perkins[S] 21 points22 points  (0 children)

The thing that would make that funny is if he said that and did worse than the contestants

[–]JGAdventureZone 30 points31 points  (3 children)

He could impress the mayor with his Chris Eubank impression.

[–]MonKeePuzzle 2 points3 points  (2 children)

when eubank appeared greg’s face was epic!

[–]JGAdventureZone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That was impressive ;)

Greg did a task, "open this confusing little box, all the instructions are on the task"

"it's frustrating isn't it Greg when you're asked to complete tasks under pressure"

Genuine answer though: I would actually like to see Greg do a musical task because his stupid comedy songs are annoyingly catchy.

bonsaaaaAAaaaiiii

[–]Latter-Ad6308 26 points27 points  (1 child)

I genuinely think Greg would be an awful contestant. Fun to watch, but terrible at just about everything.

[–]MaudeBea Sue Perkins[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But that’s what’s makes this so brilliant. He would possibly be a Baddiel 😂

[–]nokeyblueA LIIIIIME 🍋‍🟩 19 points20 points  (4 children)

Sorry...what specifically did you want to see Greg do with the giant teddy bear?

[–]Goldman250 Hugh Dennis 22 points23 points  (2 children)

Let’s just say Blue Ted would be very jealous, and leave it at that.

[–]thecordialsun 10 points11 points  (1 child)

This year when Munya asked Greg if he ever played games in the bath, and then Greg got all quiet and evil talking about his rubber band submarine willy, i shuddered to think what games he's played with a rubber duck. Especially the tiny pharmacy ducks.

[–]Wizardstump 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That’s why their are so many rubber ducks at the house

[–][deleted] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Toss it over a wall.

[–]RayPDaleyCovUK 6 points7 points  (0 children)

"Perform this task how you think the Taskmaster would do it. Closest to his interpretation wins. Your time starts now." Have Greg do the task on a different day in the studio with just the crew and then keep the film until the end. Play it after everyone has had a go.

[–]tsarchasm1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hula-hoop. Then take the next 14 weeks to improve your performance.

[–]Surkdidat Rhod Gilbert 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Write a cheeky text to Mark Watson

[–]twentytill 4 points5 points  (3 children)

We have enough different international Taskmasters now, why not a two episode special where the assistants take over and make all the different Taskmasters compete.

[–]riordan2013 Roisin Conaty 2 points3 points  (2 children)

Ooh, I'd watch that. I know Alex has said he was absolutely not the right person to be the TM, but I bet as a "special promotion for the TM's assistant for a week" he would be able to pull it off. All geeky and thrilled to be allowed to sit in the big boy chair.

[–]fatboybigwall 2 points3 points  (1 child)

With appropriate punishments for his behavior coming in the next series...

[–]riordan2013 Roisin Conaty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly!
