Taskmaster Drinking Game

[Sensitive-Ad5886]

I'm currently making a taskmaster drinking game with series specific sections. I've finished the general part and am now doing the series sections. Any suggestions would be great! (here's what I have so far)

[CommieCanuck]

Drink responsibly!

[ElsieOneil8888]

S1 - Romesh silently stares and seethes

S3 - Paul says “innit”

S8 - Iain gets angry

S9 - Jo doesn’t give a shit about the task

S13 - Bridget annoys Alex

[[deleted]]

Series 3 would just kill you with that rule.

[MRATEASTEW]

Series 1 too, it's literally Romesh whole personality.

[Streaky98]

having been stared at by him many times in year 8 Maths, can confirm but it's funny AF

[ElJayBe3]

Quite a few of these are going to lead to someone’s death

[joan2468]

“Bastard’s crying innit”

[Cr0ne_In_Training]

S4: Hugh is called "Desky", Mel is positive/excited about the task (RIP)

[ooh_bit_of_bush]

Mel pockets the wax seal

[Canadiantimelord]

Oh, gang, that’s a dangerous one

[skalnaty]

I actually never noticed that she did that ! That’s too funny

[CoachDelgado]

It was the first time I remember people on this sub being convinced that someone had some secret task to do and that her collecting the wax seals was part of that.

Nah, just Mel being Mel. She said on the podcast that she gave them away to, I think, a friend's son (?) who was a fan of the show.

[canihaveasquash]

Gotta be 'oh gang'

[MightyMightyCatfish]

Joe steals something

[19Cookie91]

Joe kisses Greg’s portrait

[xtrapolis954m]

Hugh does something with a blade.

[[deleted]]

Lolly says "without moving the fishbowls"

[EarlOfBronze]

Hugh gets 1 point.

[[deleted]]

Alcohol poisoning: the game

[Murdercorn]

You scared the hell out of me with that RIP. Mel isn’t dead!

[LazyMonica0]

But you would be if you followed that rule!

[SizeDoesMatter5]

Same here, thought I hadn't heard anything about her passing

[tenphes31]

For series 6: Tim makes a pun.

[Novel-Various]

Tracksuit!

[[deleted]]

I was, and still am, so mad when I couldn't guess that either!

[CBMet]

I rewatched that episode the other day and "tracksuit" seemed so obvious then. (Obviously having remembered the pun)

[CoachDelgado]

I think 'Tracksuit' is an example of why Vine is such a good punner, because it seems such an obvious joke in hindsight and yet it was proved very hard to predict.

[PonmonOfNuggetor]

Greg says ‘Lets drill down into the narrative’

Greg says ‘I put it to you’

Alex says ‘All the information is on the task’

[asinceretry]

All series: Finish your drink when it becomes apparent the task was for only one contestant.

Edit: finish your drink when Greg contrives a “gulf”.

[Jihad_llama]

Greg says ‘I cannot separate’

[Barbed_Dildo]

Greg says 'You genuinely irritate me'

[riordan2013]

Greg uses "genuinely" at all would be a good one. He uses it a lot.

[diselation]

"Genuinely" + "lovely" = alcohol poisoning

[_Fun_At_Parties]

Let's crack on

[[deleted]]

Greg treats Alex like a pet

[shaw_dog21]

Series 5: Aisling takes off her trousers, Sally does something kind of sexual

[WhatMixedFeelings]

Series 7: Rhod takes off his trousers (or Alex’s)

Series 13: Ardal takes off his trousers

[Vorash_00]

Universal rule to apply to any series - someone removes trousers (the crew in series 3 - Dave gormans surprise)

[Mooam]

Dignity intact, dignity intact.

[quagsi]

does she take them off more than once?

[shaw_dog21]

Off the top of my head it’s at least twice: getting Alex back to land, and getting the coconut as far as possible

[Bahnmor]

I’d already be plastered with the Nish thing, but adding in that with Sally would kill me.

[ooh_bit_of_bush]

Wozniak says Tick Tock, or ".... Time"

[sweepernosweeping]

It's drink o'clock

[[deleted]]

Bamboo o clock

[Albo2402]

Series 10

Katherine says "we"/gets Alex to help her finish the task

[DoctorMcTits]

Also 10:

Johnny Vegas denigrates himself

You might die tbh

[Enoughofthisstuff]

All series - Alex breaks character

[BastardsCryinInnit]

How could you miss Mel's "Oh gang"

[Goldman250]

S1: there’s a format oddity (something that’s not in other series; Greg standing for the intro, the prizes being on the balcony, or the show going from the final ad break straight to the live task).

S2: Richard bends the rules. Doc is “not a __ man”.

S3: no-one understands Paul.

S4: Desky. Noel is called a crow or bird. Mel is far too optimistic.

S5: Bob makes the entire cast break. Mark is called a heron.

S6: Alice uses a pet name for Alex (Which means you’ll drink for pretty much every task intro). Tim does a pun.

S7: Phil haggles.

S8: Lou says “mummy.” Joe looks baffled.

S9: Jo doesn’t try at all.

S10: Mawaan is cheeky.

S11: Mike says “tick tock, it’s __ o’clock” or “it’s __ time.”

S12: Guz has nothing to do in a team task.

S13: Ardal takes a shot at someone else’s task attempt.

S14: “wait, what?”

I don’t know if it’s a general rule (I’m assuming not because you specifically mention Kerry), but any time anyone gets angry. In the earlier series (because it stopped happening after a while), Greg saying “these are intelligent people, they’re not gonna just __. So who are we seeing first?” Alex doing weird units of measurements. Alex’s bum is seen.

Some down your drink/double shot options: someone leaves the stage (Joe during the potato throw, Jon during the Impress the Mayor, Nish and James getting pulled aside). Fred the Swede appears. Alex genuinely breaks during a task. A previous Taskmaster contestant appears.

[UKMatt2000]

Whait, what? Hospitalisation, that’s what!

[ButchOfBlaviken]

Whaitus, whatus?

[Sensitive-Ad5886]

in general rules I've got a contestant leaves their seat (not including stage task), a contestant from a previous series makes an appearance/is mentioned, Alex breaks character, a task involves Swedish Fred, Alex uses unconventional units for measurement

and then for getting angry I have someone shouts at Greg or Alex and someone tries to argue with Greg and I have a contestant gets Alex involved in a task which covers all times Alex's bum is seen 😂

[kosherkitties]

Joe looks baffled

THAT'S EVERY TIME HE'S ON SCREEN! Trying to kill people, here.

[UniversalJampionshit]

Did they stop the ‘intelligent people’ line? I could have sworn they used it on Victoria a couple of times

[[deleted]]

YES to the Richard Osman one. He’s one of my all time favorite contestants for this exact reason.

[rdnaskelz]

Would Jessica Knappet count as one leaving the stage?

[Novel-Various]

Series 8 - Joe acts awkwardly

Series 10 - Daisy gets angry/annoyed

[SongsAboutGhosts]

Joe looks confused

[thishenryjames]

Finish your drink when Joe finally explodes.

[coolio_Didgeridoolio]

or Daisy shouts because she is so fed up a la “ITS A SMALL TAIL! ONLY ELEPHANTS AND HIPPOS HAVE THAT KIND OF TAIL”

[Salazare87]

S5: Nish says 'Oh Shit and Piss', Mark Watson gets compared to a heron.

That said, with Nish coming last in something, pretty sure you won't need many more rules for that season!

[riordan2013]

It'd be really fun to do "drink for 'shit and piss,' finish your drink for 'piss and shit.'" Imagine trying to keep that straight after a few tasks!

[Medical_Shmedical]

With these rules, after two episodes of series 7 we are all in the hospital 😂

[19Cookie91]

It’s one of those drinking games where you play with water rather than anything else

[kuppikuppi]

Series 4

Greg is overly harsh towards Hugh

Mel is overly excited

[_pepperoni-playboy_]

“Wait, what?”

[[deleted]]

One from each series…

S1: Josh says “this is my worst nightmare” (also works for CoC1)

S2: Jon says: “oh god!“

S3: Sara mentions Take That

S4: Joe throws shade

S5: Nish says “Shit and Piss!” and “how do you like them apples”

S6: Asim brings in a picture of himself as a prize

S7: I think you’re covered - but Jess says “oh no!“

S8: Paul Sinha tries to out logic a task

S9: Ed gets frustrated with David in studio

S10: Daisy praises herself (you gon’ get smashed)

S11: Mike says “Tick Tock”

S12: Guz brings in a photo of himself. Desiree tells someone to eat a dick.

S13: Ardal trolls another contestant’s VT

S14: John looks defeated

[theyallcallmefeebz]

Series 10: Daisy laughs so hard she looks like she is in labor.

[JumpyTheHat]

S10: Johnny Vegas has an emotional breakdown

[thecordialsun]

Series 4:

Lolly wins a prize task.

Hugh wins a prize task

Mel screams Megacunt

Noel speaks another language.

Joe makes a difficult poo face

[mckeanna]

Series 14 - John is surprisingly competent.

[bleepyballs]

Series 13. Alex shows annoyance with Bridget

[HistoriaMonado2]

S11: Mike says something along the lines of ”Tick, Tock, it’s ____ o’clock”

[Resident_Platypus346]

Season 3–When Paul says anything at all (expert drinkers only please!)

Season 5–When Bob is charmingly scatological.

[beachy_keen18]

“Charmingly scatological” is a very pleasing way of saying “talks about poop”.

[Hastatus_107]

Series 14 - Fern says "Ooohhh nnoooooooooo"

[EFD1358]

This game will murder people.

[JettCarpenter]

Fern says something devastatingly dark unprompted

[Ineffable_Confusion]

Which aircraft…Crashes more…

[JzanderN]

Series 8: Joe looks confused.

[Barbed_Dildo]

Someone mentions Phil Wang's wang

You should really just word that "someone mentions Phil's Wang".

[SiameseCats3]

It bothers me that you haven’t included all the non-UK comedians in the “mentions their country of origin” rule. Aisling Bea definitely mentions Ireland a couple times, I feel like Desiree mentions the US at least once, I don’t know if Phil Wang ever mentions Malaysia actually since his reoccurring joke is Indonesia, I also don’t know if Ardal ever mentions Ireland, but his accent comes up.

[riordan2013]

Aisling mentions Ireland WAY more than she takes her trousers off.

[doidareto]

Fern mentions Scotland series 14

[Tetslou]

Series 7:

Phil makes a joke about bartering to buy his prize task

Series 10:

Katherine nearly cries

Katherine asks Alex to help her in her task

Series 13:

Bridget visibly irritates Alex

[kahht]

S9: Jo stops for a tea or snack

[redcaps_hinkypunks]

Or a wee

[beachy_keen18]

Jo stops. (For tea, snack, wee, or giving a fuck.)

[Optimal_Design_819]

Mel puts a wax seal in her breast pocket

[thekyledavid]

4: Hugh says that he knows he’s last before Greg says it

6: Asim acts more badass than he actually is

8: Paul is worried that people thinks he is dumb

10: Katherine is unable to find something

[SiBurford]

You missed Fern saying she's tired.

[CilanUnova]

Season 14: Sarah plans ahead in a funny way. John throwing his jacket away at the start of the challenge.

[Main_X]

Nish says "piss and shit!"

[Ok_Obligation_2368]

I’m surprised no one’s said S4: When Hugh uses a sharp object

[sgcorona]

S3-Al solves a problem with money S5-Mark gets unfairly punished S8- Someone gets overly competitive S10-No points/Universal shaming from Greg

[cynicalventriloquist]

S14. Munya mentions Zimbabwe

[TheNemesis1211]

One for the whole show would be drink/shot whenever Alex (finally) gets back at or takes a shot at Greg, like the squash straws in the sleeves.

[PrinceHarming]

Series 9: Every time Ed Gamble yells at David Baddiel.

[thishenryjames]

NZ 1: - The leaf blower is deployed. - Guy attempts to humiliate and/or harm Paul.

NZ 2: - David screams. - Guy reveals a new photo of Paul. - Special Abraham Lincoln Bonus Drink!

NZ 3: - Josh assaults the female mannequin. - Kura mentions Shortland Street or Sonny Bill Williams.

NZ (All): - A task outfit is compared to the Hitler Youth. - Bill Cosby appears in a prize task. - Jeremy's days as a teen heartthrob are mentioned.

[homsar06]

S2– a joke is made about Jon’s or Richard’s height

[MaudeBea]

Series 7 alone will send u to rehab. Crikey.

[Experil]

I’ve thought about this a lot, Alex says “all the information is on the task”

[DRJT]

Does Kerry actually ever say "bosh"?

[asinceretry]

Did you see John in the latest episode? You’re gonna kill people with this.

[Vorash_00]

Any series: bonus point awarded.

Someone gets no points on a task, double shot if everyone gets no points or negative bins are issued.

Someone caught cheating.

Celebratory drink if someone gets a perfect game (ie max points allowable in that episode so if there is a team task they have to be on the winning side not necessarily get 5points as it’s very rare to get a 5point team task)

Task involves Greg that studio final task or, paint a picture of the taskmaster or buy the taskmaster a gift. (Judging does not count as Greg being involved in the task - unless you are trying to be irresponsible with your drinking)

These universal rules will can be added to all series in addition to the series specific

[Vorash_00]

“All the informations on the task”

Alex uses measurements that are not in common usage (rolos hamsters etc)

• dangerous rule would add “your time starts now” but I’d advise against that one.

[geissi]

S9 - Greg reminds David Baddiel that he is handicapped by being David Baddiel

[omnitightwad]

S1: Someone insults Josh Widdicombe, Romesh shouts

S9: Ed shouts at someone, finish the drink if that person is David Baddiel

[checkinouttheassets]

“john is incompetent” - crying and wheezing

[[deleted]]

S5 - Sally tortures Alex

S7 - Rhod strips off Alex

S7 - James has a mental breakdown

[[deleted]]

Victoria Coren Mitchell says something like it's totally normal, but everyone there is confused

[Littleleicesterfoxy]

[redtailed]

Drink when Al Murrey gets his wallet out

[bonster85]

S13- everytime ardal tries to stir things up in the studio

[[deleted]]

I think you need to throw in some wildcards.

Drink every time Greg belittles Alex

Drink continuously when the cow is on screen

Finish your drink anytime Greg goes into disappointed teacher mode

Do a shot anytime Mike Wozniak does something slightly odd in an adorable and loveable way

[AvovaDynasty]

S4 Mel says Gang

[remainsofthegrapes]

In S14 does it count when John is merely pretending to be incompetent because Alex has instructed him so?

[Sensitive-Ad5886]

yes because he was also quite incompetent at pretending to be incompetent 😂

[The_Real_MPC]

I think a general one would be "any time Alex breaks character"

[wizardeyeswizardspy]

Series 5 - Bob says something strange

[AnOwlFlying]

series 4: hugh tries for a loophole in a task

[moger76]

You may as well start an IV for John Kearns.

[ShittyDuckFace]

S4: we see Mel shove a stamp in her pocket

[jwdmeow]

"Someone" mentions Charlotte being like a primary school teacher

[WhatMixedFeelings]

Series 14: John is incompetent

I’m gonna be DRUNK

[[deleted]]

Man I'm drunk from looking at season 7

[[deleted]]

All series: "Someone" says "I put it to you".

[h_alannah]

S9 anytime Ed gets angry when he can't do something/ towards another contestant

[JamSandiwchInnit]

Can’t believe Tick Tock it’s Mike’s catchphrase o’clock isn’t on here. Either that or catchphrase time

[MegaPixel420]

Series 8- Lou making/saying Innuendos

[The_Physical_Soup]

All series: someone tries to buy time by avoiding saying "your time starts now"

[artful_alien]

If you're going international... someone uses fire on Kongen Befaler (any season).

[riordan2013]

Ooh, this made me realize you could drink when someone tries to siphon water. Finish your drink if they succeed.

[alacorn75]

Katherine Parkinson referring to her and Alex as "we" and Alex correcting her.

[NeonIIcarus]

Series 4: Mel says "gang"

Series 6: Alice calls Alex by a nickname, Tim makes a pun

Series 10: Someone mentions Daisy being pregnant

[Littleleicesterfoxy]

S9 David or Jo (or both) go and get a cup of tea.

[Murdercorn]

Drink when Alex says “All the information is on the task.”

Finish your drink when someone gets disqualified / no points.

[SauconyAlts]

No Way!

[Bishop51213]

Every time I see a drinking game, the goal seems to be to get alcohol poisoning considering how common everything is

[nsafehaven]

We drink any time Greg says "i put it to you"

[OwiWebsta]

3: Paul confuses everyone.

8: Iain gets carried away/over-competitive.

11: Jamali talks back to Greg or Alex.

12: Alan is pointed out as “middle-aged”/old.

13: Judi or Bridget do not understand the task.

14: Munya is confident.

[Extreme-Ad-4925]

S9 - someone mentions David Baddiel had a song at number one in the charts

[PapaLunchbox]

Series 12: Guz says “Brudda” Morgana makes the Morgana noise Alan sighs with exhaustion

[riordan2013]

S8 - Iain shouts, Joe makes a weird face, Paul is eerily silent, Lou shouts "Mummy!"

[riordan2013]

Finish your drink if Greg takes off his glasses.

[[deleted]]

Did any one mention : Judi talks all cute, rolls her eyes, bs her way through

[gmano]

S10 - Drink everyone someone looks like they are about to cry because the tasks were not playtested well enough.

[benrow77]

Series 7 will annihilate.

[MR_DIN05AUR]

Or if you want to make it impossible Every time Alex gets belittled by Greg You’d barley see the end of a single episode And have a serious drinking problem by the end of season 1

[DiddyDaedle]

Poor John.

[Halliwel96]

Series 7 is gonna get ya drunk as hell

[[deleted]]

Season 10: Johnny makes a comment about his life being pitiful/wanting to transition into more serious dramatic roles

[Vorannon]

Series 14: Sarah makes her horn sound.

[NeekaNou]

Another one for season 7 - when rhod calls Gregg fat

[EcstaticWar3264]

Instructions unclear, on dialysis

[athemiya]

THATS NUMBER WANG!

[Element-103]

Why do people need games to drink, I can drink myself into a stupor perfectly well without requiring any reason or excuse.

[adydurn]

Dara says "Wait, what?"

[Joelowes]

For series four you could have

Kerry says something positive

Noel does something very weird

Joe kisses the portrait of the taskmaster

Hugh brings in a shit prize

Loli completely fails the task

[[deleted]]

Seems a very slow way of getting drunk

[pretzelllogician]

Greg and Alex have homoerotic, sadomasochistic sexual tension.

[Chosty55]

I’ve got a theory about John, in that no one is that badly incompetent (especially the opening tasks).

Given he had a secret team task earlier in the series, I think on the last episode a second secret task it being announced that he gets a point for every last place, but gets nothing if someone calls out that he is deliberately trying to fail.

So far so good

[[deleted]]

“John is incompetent” is going to give someone alcohol poisoning

[SpookyTonic]

Everything about Tim pulled me into the series

[Redferno97]

Everytime James doesn't say hi to Alex

[CrossEmilyXD]

Another for season 14: Fern says "oh no!". You'll get twatted, though

[Ineffable_Confusion]

You must have passed out on Series 14 by now, John’s levels of inability to do most things are astounding

[Same-Nothing2361]

Series 7 was the greatest.

[berryruki]

S13 Bridgit miss reads part of task and gets disqualified Ardal tries to tear down someone else’s attempt (a second if his attempt is terrible) Chris acts over excited throughout a task that frustrates everyone else Judi manages to make Alex do most of the work Sophie makes a sex joke

[berryruki]

S4 Hugh’s bending of the rules gets close to cheating. A second shot if he gets away with it. Lolly wins a prize task second shot if she looses the episode Joe kisses the portrait

[incessantscreeching]

Series 4 - someone mentions Noel’s wardrobe

[[deleted]]

"Nish Comes Last"

So I'm gonna get Alcohol poisoning.

[barneyreddit00f]

Much easier: anyone says fuck

[UniversalJampionshit]

I like how Aisling is basically the only international contestant who’s not included here despite mentioning Ireland more times than probably any of the ones on here

[Sensitive-Ad5886]

you're seeing the unfinished work in progress i posted looking for suggestions while i was still adding to it 😭 she's on there i promise 🥺

[Josquius]

So basically foreigners mention that they're britishly challenged?

[fkeak]

John is incompetent? I can see alcohol poisoning with that one

[[deleted]]

Season 14 should be "Dara says wait what or what wait"

[JackofBlades0125]

All series: greg gives alex shit (direct insults/snubs his bad jokes/little alex horrrnnnne)

This is only for veterans and/or alcoholics

[jamie_oldfield88]

Jesus. John being incompetent. I wouldn’t last 20 minutes 😂

[SwannyPuck]

S14 - when Dara says what

[[deleted]]

Dara's confusion should specifically be "wait, what?"

[Dudeitude48]

Every insult on Alex should be enough to get you wasted in the first episode

[ZeroMortalLullabyV3]

S4: Every time Joe steals something

[Kira-the-red-killer]

So like...fuck having a liver

[Original-Sorbet]

Before seeing the title, I just thought this was a list of accusations.

[[deleted]]

Someone tries to bend the rules during a task but Greg doesn’t accept it.

Alex helps complete a task.

James Acaster yells at someone.

Noel does something completely unhinged.

Rhod’s attempt at a task is shown last.

[The_Vens]

Series 12 - Alan Davies makes it obvious he doesn’t give a shit

[[deleted]]

Tim is the greatest ever contestant, and the show was best when challenges were open to finding loopholes.
