Taskmasterclass returns, offering a masterclass in… well, not much, really. But it is a hilarious look back at some of the most memorable moments from Taskmaster, reframed as an educational curriculum for comedians (and anyone else who enjoys watching grown adults attempt absurd challenges).
Greg Davies and Alex Horne, the reigning monarchs of meticulously judged silliness, are back to dissect the finer points of tasks involving everything from beach graphs to dinosaur impressions. Viewers can relive classic moments like Bob Mortimer’s uniquely interpretive approach to data visualization, Sophie Duker’s surprisingly convincing prehistoric impersonations, and Sally Phillips’ artistic endeavors, which likely defy all conventional definitions of art.
Horne, the ever-diligent taskmaster’s assistant, supplements the comedic clips with facts and stats, adding a veneer of academic rigor to the proceedings. Whether or not any actual learning takes place is debatable, but the entertainment value is undeniable. Taskmasterclass provides a fun and slightly surreal way to revisit favorite Taskmaster moments while celebrating the show’s distinctive blend of creativity, competitiveness, and utter absurdity. Tune in to Channel 4 on Friday, January 10, 2025, at 10:00 PM for a lesson in how to make even the most mundane activities hilariously complicated.
