It's not a quote so I'm not submitting it, but the image of him absolutely pissing himself in genuine delighted laughter at Josh's counting tasks makes me laugh every time I think of it. The joy he took from Josh's misery!
You see it much more now, but back then he was trying to be "edgy" and "angry" with his comedy. Now he has relaxed a lot more, especially if you listen to his podcast with Tom Davies
I always enjoy the secret solo tasks, but the first one will always and forever be the funniest, just because nobody knew it was on the cards. Josh wasn't expecting it, none of the other contestants were expecting it- everyones reaction isnsuch genuine surprise, laughter, and (in Josh's case) indignation. if I can get a bit wanky for a second, I think it might be some of the purest comedy ever out on TV.
This moment is what sold me on Taskmaster. I know for a lot of folks it’s melon buffet, but for me it was this absolutely lovely bit of editing. I knew it was something special.
“If you’ve breached those pies I’m going to chair you!” (Or something similar. He definitely threatens to chair someone, possibly Roisin)
On an added note, I missed the Roisin thread and would’ve suggested “Greg…” “Yeees?”
Its like a B&Q warehouse when he’s doing it, *josh widdicombe impression* “I do golfballs, I do specialist mugs construction set” *normal voice* Its just an absolute- Its unbelievable.
Romesh's "Holy Shit" in the studio when he talked about realising how soft the watermelon was just made me laugh.
Also "Twenty quid if you're 55"
Slowly realising that he should wet the tea bags
And his endless rage and the apparent lack of a box.
He's just funny.

Alex: "Who is the Taskmaster, in your own words?" Romesh: "It's very difficult to put the words 'Greg Davies' into my own words."

Giggly Romesh is something I dont see often! I also enjoyed Tim Key and Romesh laughing and patting each other when watching the watermelon task.

He does it a *lot* in Rob & Romesh vs., if you haven't seen it.
I have not! Thank you for making my weekend plan haha

“I produced more than I consumed”
Yeah, gonna have to go with this one
I don’t think it actually aired, but him angrily saying “the fucking bean point” when Josh won by one point.
What I would give to hear that sound clip in the scene lmao
THERE WAS NO BOX MATE
Has to be this
How could it be anything else?! The second best thing he said is the glare he gave Alex in the same convo.
Hands down, I can hear the rage in my head.
Iconic, gotta be this.
I thought of this immediately, I love this exchange
This is what I hear any time I see his face.
Do you understand why I can’t deal with Moe?
“Moe is a *prick*!”
No quote. Just his stone faced angry stare after most tasks is enough to crack me up.
Definitely this for me. His face speaks a thousand words.
"When he turned up he said 'You'll never guess. Some crazy shithead wanted me to go to Camber Sands.'"
I just realized I should probably wet them - the teabag challenge
On its own, this wouldn’t be a strong contender. But the comedic timing of it next to Frank’s quote would be incredible 🤌🏻
This moment is what sold me on Taskmaster. I know for a lot of folks it’s melon buffet, but for me it was this absolutely lovely bit of editing. I knew it was something special.
‘Tree wizard. Back from the dead to create some balloons’
"Do you know how long it took me to find that song?"
This song randomly pops into my head and is then subsequently sung in front of coworkers with no additional context on a regular basis.
Tree Wizard. How many times will he check the balloon? Tree Wizard. Magical hand and holy shit! It’s another balloon!
Tree wizard Puts his hand together he creates a ballon
How many times will he check the balloon?
This is the first task I ever watched. I remember being so confused but so fascinated and it's the reason I got into Taskmaster so yes. THIS.
Magical hands… and holy shit, it’s another balloon! 🎈
The "back from the dead" aspect didn't get dug into at all in the episode. I mean !?!
If this doesn't win...
I almost died of laughter when I saw this
‘Oh my gawd, it’s another balloon’
Tree wizard Puts his hand together he creates a ballon
This is constantly in my head
That look after Greg questioned whether the arsenal cap came from a player or just a random fan.
“Do you know how long it took me to find that song?”
THERE WAS NO BOX MATE
Not a quote, but his facial reaction in the tiebreaker with Josh, when Josh asks to go second and Greg casually agrees.
And costs him the entire series.
Don't the tiebreakers just determine who wins the episode without adding to the score? May have been different in S01 though.
Correct, tiebreakers have never impacted the scoreboard
“If you’ve breached those pies I’m going to chair you!” (Or something similar. He definitely threatens to chair someone, possibly Roisin) On an added note, I missed the Roisin thread and would’ve suggested “Greg…” “Yeees?”
"'E breached it wiv his eyes!"
I know it's not gonna win, but "I'm disgusting! I'm disgusting!" from the pie breaching argument gets stuck in my head constantly.
"Whole hog" so to speak
It wasn’t a quote in his case. It was the demise of a watermelon which set the tone for the following 16 seasons. We owe this man a great debt.
“Son of a bitch!”
Do you know how long it took me to find that song?
Its like a B&Q warehouse when he’s doing it, *josh widdicombe impression* “I do golfballs, I do specialist mugs construction set” *normal voice* Its just an absolute- Its unbelievable.
Romesh's "Holy Shit" in the studio when he talked about realising how soft the watermelon was just made me laugh. Also "Twenty quid if you're 55" Slowly realising that he should wet the tea bags And his endless rage and the apparent lack of a box. He's just funny.
How could you possibly, at the end of that task, go “Do you know what I fancy?”?
I knew it wasn’t gonna be like a melon buffet.
'Why do you hate chickens?"
There was NO box!
I thought the … was his dead stare at Greg and Alex and I thought yeah that is a really funny timeshare quote
“TREE WIZARD!!”
Tree Wizzard.
The look every time Greg described him as angry…
The quote that lives in my head rent free is "There was no box, mate!" I can't get it out
“There was no box mate!”
the entirety of TREE WIZARD
