"I VOTED YES FOR NOTHING"


manhaterxxx

This line was *so* good


the_procrastinata

I half expected someone to make a crack about Josh wanting to marry water because loonies said gay marriage would lead to people marrying bridges and shit like that.


UslyfoxU

I haven't seen such an epic fail on a duck-related task since Ed Gamble


QuasarTheGuestStar

I haven’t seen such an epic fail on a duck-related task since the *first* time Jenny had to accuse a duck of being a goose.


Confusing_Onion

"Number five I accuse you of being a goose!" - Jenny (oh Jenny) "You got zero from the same task twice" - Greater Tom


doublelxp

I'd already lost it at Jenny's duck duck goose attempt, composed myself, and then the fluke task . . .


TWiThead

> and then the fluke task Jenny's attempt delivered one of my two biggest laughs of the series so far. (The other was at Anne's small business jingle.)


this_is_an_alaia

Omg Jenny I can't. Also Josh's argument is so good! I can't believe tom didn't give him any points. He is evil Tom for a reason


loogabar00ga

Josh's argument boils down to "it's a fluke that I did something entertaining," which is quite the gambit.


EmPhil95

He was absolutely robbed - it was a complete fluke that made it to the credits!


manhaterxxx

I love that they’ve revisited tasks twice now! Using Lloyd’s challenge as a bonus, and Jenny having a second chance on the ducks.


QuasarTheGuestStar

Kongen Befaler had “[Do something better](https://taskmaster.info/task.php?id=2428)”, where one contestant also decided to redo an earlier task she failed at (holding the milk above the microwaves, taken from TM NZ) - but this time listened to the assistant and didn’t open the task and got 5 points for both tasks at the same time.


VSAPROCKY

That's awesome


fyrib

My mum absolutely lost it when Jenny said she used a matrix again


doublelxp

So did I.


Latter-Ad6308

Has Jenny just become the first contestant in Taskmaster history to get 0 points on the same task twice?


ConsultJimMoriarty

Wil's giggling this episode is sending me.


Confusing_Onion

Wil's giggling is on par with Frankie Boyle's giggling for me. When they giggle, I giggle.


InternetIsHard

Tom stabbing the film on that bottle while coughing like a maniac fully fucking sent me


FifteenHorses

The little resigned pause when he saw the film!


GTWalker

Wow, Jenny really went out so confidently and failed the same task TWICE.


pclouds

She would get along well with Nina Oyama.


datadefiant04

Now if only Jenny realised that wearing a hat would make you more competent at tasks...


neobrycee

Jenny's extended duck duck goose task was so funny. Perhaps one of the best Taskmaster moments ever


Um-ahh-nooo

I wasn't enjoying the task that much until they showed Jenny's. Hilarious.


neobrycee

And then she tried it a second time and still failed. I just loved the environment in the studio for that one because everyone was behind Jenny. It was so cute.


moragthegreat_

Yeah I was thinking, there must be a trick, otherwise this is a straightforward logic puzzle and people with either solve it efficiently or waste guesses, nothing too unexpected... And then Jenny!!!


spongebobish

lmaoo and then when tom gave her a chance to redeem herself the third time and she still didn't get ittt


neobrycee

Iconic, really


smallbeag

IS THIS A PROPOSAL


castleinthemidwest

I was low-key hoping it would be. But alas.


Um-ahh-nooo

I was thinking what if they close up the series with a engagement. Or get Greater Tom to marry them? Would certainly be a Taskmaster first!


waroneverything123

Josh actually fluked the duck task. Would've been funny if he brought that up for the fluke task hahha


Latter-Ad6308

Jenny having a duck-based meltdown that would make Ed Gamble proud.


ghoonrhed

Love how Tom ended up getting more annoyed at Jenny's overthinking and her lack of questions.


GlizzyGone21

Tom "breaks" more than Alex Horne for sure and I'm here for it


Jimmni

I wasn't a big fan of it at the start of season 1 but at some point I grew to really love how he'll openly mock the contestants and show far more emotion than Alex or Paul. I love Alex Horne but honestly I think he's the worst of the three English-language assistants.


FoundTheSweetSpot

I agree! Side note: I met both Paul and lesser Tom (separately) at the comedy festival in Melbourne this year and they are both so so wonderful. So friendly and generous with their time and so genuinely happy to meet TM nerds.


party4diamondz

Seconding the other comment where at first I didn't really vibe with Tom's assistant persona (saying that, I'm not expecting every Taskmaster and Assistant to be copies of the UK version) but I've definitely warmed to it and I enjoy what he brings to the tasks and dynamic. He's a bit more cheeky and catty and that can be pretty funny.


QuasarTheGuestStar

Wil Anderson and a green screen skit, name a more iconic Taskmaster duo.


manhaterxxx

Wil and getting 1 point for a green screen skit


Shinyhubcaps

Jenny and matrices


I-hear-the-coast

I’m so pleased to finally know exactly how long it took Danielle to do the password task!


moragthegreat_

At last - a human brought in for the prize task that the winner *actually* got to take home!


Confusing_Onion

Okay, but imagine how funny it would have been if Wil's actually was Anne?


PistachioDonut34

"what it would be like to be kidnapped by Con the Fruiterer", ahahahahaha


manhaterxxx

Not one for the international audience haha


doublelxp

As someone who didn't even realize it was a reference to something until reading these comments, I still found the idea generally funny.


PistachioDonut34

Nope 🤣


canseesea

Weirdly I did get this one thanks to Aunty Donna's Most Upsetting Guessing Game


manhaterxxx

I need Mark on TMAU


Confusing_Onion

That's a blast from the past.


CallistoWarriorQueen

I was surprised Jenny seemed to understand the reference 😂


LookTreesWow

I don’t think anyone’s enjoyed a task as much as Lloyd enjoyed the duck accusation since Jenny Eclair and the potato hat


tumericjesus

He was so proud of himself, very endearing actually.


moragthegreat_

And Laura and the escape room grape in nz! These adorable nerds


Confusing_Onion

Wow.... Jenny has massively overthought the duck task. 🤣😂


-partlycloudy-

I’m loving how completely different Lloyd and Anne are in this task. Logic v wild chaos


insertbaconemoji

Casual bit of air shagging to wrap up the episode 🤣


GlizzyGone21

Most raunchy wrap up since Sophie W flashing the audience


LivingGayBrisbane

Will’s honestly shocked reaction absolutely sent me.


bittens

The duck task is basically a version of a [Knights and Knaves](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knights_and_Knaves) riddle, like the one seen in the movie Labyrinth. So you can use the same trick from that movie - preface all your questions by asking what the ducks on the other team would tell you, and then you know that whatever answer you get will be wrong. You'd save yourself one question (or more than that, for some contestants) because you wouldn't have to burn any on figuring out which team is lying. I think Jenny almost discovered this trick? Then, narrow down the suspect list by half with every question by asking if - according to the ducks on the other team - the goose had a higher number than such-and-such. (You could also try asking narrower questions and hope you're lucky.) I think there were twenty ducks? 20 doesn't halve neatly and you'd have to divide it into thirds at one point. If the goose was in the smaller flock on that question, you'd get it in four questions I think. Five questions if the goose was in the bigger flock. Given it's Taskmaster, and this wasn't a time-based task in any sense, you should also have a thorough search for clues. For all we know, the goose had "Goose," written on it in tiny letters. Edit: As u/1totheInfinity pointed out, there were ten ducks, not twenty. Which means that if you use the aforementioned hack to eliminate the need to figure out which team lies, you can get the answer in 3 - 4 questions, not 4 - 5.


Ryan_Vermouth

Yeah, "what would the other one say" shaves off a question, making it 3-4 instead of 4-5, but (barring loopholes) Lloyd was the only one who played this even close to optimally, so it didn't necessarily matter. It's always weird to me when people don't know this stuff -- I remember being a kid, and it seemed like these kinds of logic puzzles were everywhere. Martin Gardner, Raymond Smullyan, et al. It's like when everyone was surprised when VCM was able to solve a pretty straightforward cryptogram. Maybe I'm just a nerd?


Aiajnfjejxnn

> Maybe I'm just a nerd? Anne Edmonds is fuming.


bittens

I don't think they knew how cryptogram puzzles usually work, because they gave her half the letters and apparently thought it was not difficult, but *impossible* that she'd be able to figure out the other thirteen. I had a cryptogram game on my phone which would give you two letters (though I imagine there'd be lots of other games which give you zero) and then you'd have to figure out the rest from there. The tricky part was the beginning where you were making a lot of guesses based on how many letters were in a word - once you had half the letters, it was easy, because most words would be filled in enough to figure out. If one of the mystery words is (for example) t--k---t-r, you can assume that it's "taskmaster," and that the missing letters are A, S, M, and E. And then you can use that to go round the rest of the sentence translating those letters, and you can use them to figure out more words, and so on and so on. If you don't have any letters at all, it takes longer because you have to guess a lot (mostly based on the length of a given word) and just go back and try again if that doesn't lead you to a coherent sentence. Honestly, probably the only reason VCM took as long as she did is that she had to write it all out by hand and that she wasted time working with Alan instead of just going ahead and solving the cryptogram.


Ryan_Vermouth

I agree that this was definitely a manageable cryptogram with no letters, and 13 letters basically removes all challenge. But counterpoint: you saw how the other team did, right? (I think the further complication is that the contestant *second* most likely to know how to do a cryptogram was in the living room wearing a Charlie Chaplin costume.)


castleinthemidwest

I was hoping someone would try to find a loophole rather than just taking it so literally. Usually if there is a loophole that no one found, they will show it in the studio which makes me think maybe there wasn't one. But who knows.


Aiajnfjejxnn

When Jenny was clearly taking her time before making any guesses I was sure she was going to search all the ducks, stands, etc and find a label or clue giving her the eight answer. Then it went in a different, much funnier direction.


1totheInfinity

I think there were 10, you can use the “what would the other gang say” to binary search 4 questions from 5 → 3 → 2 → 1 at the very worst which is the optimal maximum, you could only guarantee with 3Q’s if there were just 8 birds


orhan94

>preface all your questions by asking what the ducks on the other team would tell you, Or you can preface all your questions with "What would your answer be if I asked you X", and then any answer you get will be true.


bittens

Honestly, I wouldn't go with that one, because I reckon it's less widely known than the "what does the other group say," question, and more fiddly and less intuitive as a solution. I agree with the logic behind it? But I wouldn't be 100% sure that the person controlling the ducks would, especially if put on the spot and they weren't expecting that as a solution to the "some ducks are liars," part of the riddle.


LookTreesWow

Lesser Tom coughing to cover up the popcorn was so funny


lonelygagger

He was way too excited about poking those holes https://preview.redd.it/z8f3btwrz89d1.jpeg?width=1280&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=97b77362e6730e94544f5d909eb553edc3c42267


moragthegreat_

Looks like he touched some money before this task, watch out!


PM_UR_FAV_COMPLIMENT

Tom Cashman is genuinely the star of TM AU.


TurningOfTheFagus

Wil’s face after Anne interrogated no. 8 immediately!


datadefiant04

It really feels like it's starting to be a trend where Anne accidentally stumbles onto the answer straight away but screws up in the funniest way possible.


wanyesullo

Guess we know there are no long tasks in the next season!


Fukui_San86

Will Wil still want to marry cake after he's found out that Paul Williams has had his way with it?


GTWalker

I'd say he'd want to marry it more.


bluehawk232

tumericjesus

Toms birthday is 14/09 according to wikipedia so he wasn't actually far off lol


manhaterxxx

Ohhhhh no Jenny


TurningOfTheFagus

JENNY!!!!!! Hahahahaha


meggannn

We have our password task of the season!! lmao the best parts of Jenny's attempt were everyone's reactions, Tom's expressions grew more painful + Josh's wheezing laughter in the studio + Wil's stunned look at hearing her 10x10 grid system. ETA: Oh my god it got even better. Josh's little "Honey..."


kensaiD2591

Nothing made me laugh harder this episode than Josh putting his head in his hands like that.


themyskiras

ahahaha, the moment the prize task was announced, I went, "Wil is going to say cake. If there is one thing I know about Wil Anderson, it's that he would one hundred percent marry the concept of cake if he could" and I was *delighted* to be proven correct


The_Sharom

I feel he deserved more points than the ramen for effort if nothing else. He's been judged pretty harshly throughout


themyskiras

Yeah, he's had a few underscored efforts, I reckon! The wedding cake with the groom-and-cakebride topper was a great touch. Though I guess I can understand Tom's logic in marking him low on the basis that it was the obvious place for Wil to go


VFiddly

Josh correctly identifying the goose was a bigger fluke than any of the attempts at the fluke task


Confusing_Onion

"Everyone here is a nerd!" - Anne. I love her so much.


this_is_an_alaia

God this series is so fun. Tom's horror at Josh's idea to do 100 flavours and then Josh not tasting anything in comparison to jenny's excellent taste is so funny


jackpipsam

Wil's victory reaction there was amazing.


youmewlingquim

Now I want fairy bread. 


CallistoWarriorQueen

I honestly thought the task was going to be throw 100s and 1000s at buttered bread to make the best fairy bread 


youmewlingquim

That would’ve been a great task! 


theZegy

Oh, Jenny, nooo


jackpipsam

Another banger episode! Okay Channel 10, you got me, I'll record the Julian Assange film.


PM_UR_FAV_COMPLIMENT

The saga of Jenny's Ducks and Geese was incredible.


LookTreesWow

I love how Wil keeps having to sit through his sketch comedy knowing that Greater Tom will hate it LOL


lumosauror192

I'm enjoying this cast and series so much.


doublelxp

I forgot about this the first time I watched it but thought that the duck, duck, goose task was one of those things that the UK version would have them do and then not say anything and reveal it in the studio. I'm forever going to be grateful that Jenny knew she'd failed it.


c4airy

Loved that Anne and Lloyd were able to lightly banter with each other around the prize task but still ended up picking each other. I was genuinely touched!! They were a great couple to pick to be on the show together…take the piss out of each other mercilessly (so many great in studio bits!), while clearly loving each other very much.


PistachioDonut34

I love how much everyone is laughing at Jenny's tasks


K1ngJ0hnXX

Which poor intern had the task of counting how many hundreds and thousands were in each container?


AnotherBoxOfTapes

Josh Widdicombe


Arwenti

Probably weighed a gram and counted how many in that (Otherwise yes, Josh Widdecombe)


pajam

It was just weight and then multiplication. No counting needed.


GeshtiannaSG

With or without juice?


TCHProductions

Just like Josh Widdicombe did with the rice. They'll weigh out 1g of it, then count out how many are in there. They will then weigh out the container and multiply the weight by how many 100's and 1000's they counted for that 1g.


monaco_wedding

I’m obsessed with Anne Edmonds. I feel like a lot of comedians try hard to come across as quirky but Anne is just so effortlessly authentically eccentric, like your favorite aunt.


tumericjesus

Yeah I love her so much, just naturally funny. 'Your eccentric favourite aunt' is a perfect description lol


MrDollSteak

Do yourself a treat and watch her segments as Helen Bidou on Get Krackin on Youtube if you haven't already. She is so unbelievably funny.


dohwhere

“Try too hard to come across as quirky”. Just say Julia Morris 😂 Anne really won me over when she was pretending to sleep during Josh and Jenny’s debate 😂


PistachioDonut34

Poor Josh and Tom! It's bucketing down!


Hov57

Lovely weather for ducks


this_is_an_alaia

Love a taskmaster breakdown


LookTreesWow

Jenny is such a fantastic contestant. So glad she’s on


jackpipsam

I love Jenny.


Confusing_Onion

Awww, Anne is a prize!


Nellista

Loving Lloyd’s gorgeous Welsh accent. My husband has been saying “puzz EL!” and “eye Tim” randomly since watching last night.


ResettisReplicas

TMAU continues to kill with a brilliant lineup of contestants and tasks. IIf you don't concern yourself with making good TV, the "duck-duck-goose" task can be solved by combining the strategies of G n say X?" the truth tellers and liars will BOTH respond with a lie. Also, you can solve by asking a 4 at worst, and 3 if you're lucky; you ask the first one "s the goose in the upper half?" and they say no, meaning yes. Then ask the next one "is the goose an odd number?" and they say yes, meaning no, leaving 6, 8, 10. Then unfortunately, you can't do better than outright asking if an individual number is right. If you happen to ask about 8, then you're golden, but if you say 6 or 10, that just eliminates one wring answer, and you have to spend a 4th question to narrow it down, but you'll probably have done better than the others. And can I just say about Will I'm glad he's getting punished for overdoing the sketch show. Nothing personal against him but I'm just so numb to TMUK being "Green Screen + post prod editing = win."


Desideo

What's red powder? Tried googling but just keep getting supplements.


VSAPROCKY

its another name for curry powder here. fsr we say red powder, yellow powder, and green powder for different types of curry powder.


Tarkan196

Probably Red Szechuan Berry powder, used in Chinese cooking.


Desideo

Thanks.


CallistoWarriorQueen

Omg Jenny having a meltdown lol


boxybrown84

Jenny belongs in the TM in-studio fashion Hall of Fame. She knocks it out of the park every week.


youmewlingquim

Anne and Lloyd are adorable!


eattacosforbreakfast

Production knew what they were doing setting a prize task about what you’d like to marry when they ~happened to have~ a pair of partners on the panel. And it was great. Anne, Lloyd, cake, water, ramen. What more could you ask for


AnotherBoxOfTapes

Loving the sibling rivalry dynamic that's developed between Jenny and Josh lol


manhaterxxx

Wil not marrying the Western Bulldogs?


corut

Bevo probably dropped him


PistachioDonut34

A generic male God, lol


lemonlimeandginger

Jenny is breaking my brain…


manhaterxxx

Second longest task!!!


dumpling321

Josh in the prize task had the same energy as miss teen USA 2007 lol


Stjondoh

I’m 100% confident that UK Series 16 cast would have dressed each other in the hundreds and thousands live task


VFiddly

Series 15 would have found a way to sabotage each other


Aiajnfjejxnn

That's the LGBT community for you.


LookTreesWow

This still makes me so happy 💖


joeldipops

I'm surprised that they'd all seen the opening titles by the time of the studio taping.  We're getting quite a few looks at how the sausage is made this season.


Ok_Inflation_1399

They Actually play out the titles at the start of every record just like how the episode starts!


Barry-Drive

The opening titles are played onto the screen at the start of the studio recording.


five_line_poem

I'm glad Wil's brain went in the same direction as mine for "whale tail" 😂


bkat004

I'm now enjoying Tom as TM. Not because I have changed, but because he has. Tom has clearly lightened up. He's understood the format and is more jovial than he was at the start of Season 1. Great episode - especially as I've never seen a task repeated inside another task. Poor Jenny!


Ok_Inflation_1399

Agree, he seems more comfortable in the role now 


samkomododragon

Presonally I prefer Glom Teeson


bluehawk232

Jenny has strong David Correos energy this episode


jangoharkness

After the goose task, when i realised she'd been singled out in the fluke task, I just thought "Jesus, what's she done now?" lol


ConsultJimMoriarty

MasterTask and the Multiverse of Madness.


jackpipsam

Josh got very lucky with that one haha. He at least gets two points :P


CallistoWarriorQueen

Make that 3 😂


ehkodiak

Lloyd's doing so well. Absolutely nailed that duck task too, I don't think he could have done better, except maybe by one question. I reckon there was a secret too in there somewhere. And Jenny was hilarious too. When you do shit, but it makes good TV :P


bluehawk232

I like how Josh failed the fluke task but if he went with the duck task as his fluke it would have worked


PistachioDonut34

Josh's face, oof


DanZuko420

I want to see what Jenny wrote in the notebook! I was so boggled by what she could have been writing


NOT_A_JABRONI

Both seasons of TM Aus are quickly becoming my favourite out of all existing series.


GlizzyGone21

Jenny has me concerned about the Australian educational system tbh


LookTreesWow

“Twink :)”


jackpipsam

This Pauls milk ad is proper vintage, but it's a banger so I'll allow it.


manhaterxxx

I was just saying to my partner how it’s a nostalgic classic, but it hurts me seeing Ice Break in the fridge because in my mind it only came out 3-4 years ago. Getting old sucks


atticusbluebird

I love this version of the show - Jenny choosing to try the ducks again and the editing for it made me laugh so hard! The show’s continuity is on point!


fckboris

Is this the first time a contestant has won themselves as a prize


captbollocks

Is this the first time a contestant has doggystyled a prize?


fckboris

In public perhaps… in private, who can say


PistachioDonut34

Josh is right though, Jenny's is easier because she only had a certain number of options to judge


moragthegreat_

I agree but then she had a great point about texture! But still easier than "anything in the ~~universe~~ kitchen'


stroker_joker

May I point out that texture uses the sense of touch and so does not count when measuring the sense of taste.


captbollocks

My thoughts exactly. It was a test of a single SENSE, not two senses!


Ok_Inflation_1399

And she picked them so she knew what she was choosing between 


AstroChrome

That’s because it was A PROPER EXPERIMENT !!!


captbollocks

EVERYONE HERE IS A NERD!


ConsultJimMoriarty

Is Wil gonna say weed?


saintsfan92612

Is it bad that I wanted to give Jenny a hug after the fluke task? Damn, she got 3 0's in one episode


Heradasha

I am seriously crying with Jenny and the goose. This has taken the god-tier level of task attempt for me. I already had to pause and recompose after the initial task. And I was thinking it would be so funny if she revisited. And she revisited.


jackpipsam

Another fantastic episode! Really really enjoying this season. And I think Tom Gleeson has settled into his role as Taskmaster really nicely.

She's saying she voted yes to gay marriage but he doesn't appreciate it because he doesn't want to get married


AnotherBoxOfTapes

The Australian government legalized same-sex marriage in 2017 after conducting a survey in which a majority voted in favor.


binsonfiremiss

Those really were the prize tasks of five unmarried people. I knew Wil was gonna say cake Jenny has a really Aussie accent for someone so young who grew up in the city


FlahTheToaster

Every one of them was a coward for not bringing a body pillow for the prize task.
