Taskmaster NZ

Ta da!

- Oh! - Oh!

Nutsack!

Good evening. Welcome to the season finale of Taskmaster.

My name is Jeremy Wells, and I am the Taskmaster.

For the last 10 weeks, we have watched five comedians

attempt a series of mind-boggling tasks, set by me.

Tonight, we'll do it again.

I will judge them,

and we'll finally be able to crown our first Taskmaster champion.

They will walk away with not only the respect of a nation,

but with the most impressive prize package ever given away on New Zealand television:

a golden replica of my head and no money.

Let's meet our comedians for the last time.

They are - Angella Dravid

Brynley Stent

Guy Williams

Leigh Hart

and Madeleine Sami.

To my left, the bravest and most handsome man I know, with a mind so sharp,

Ernest Rutherford is now officially the second most intelligent person from Nelson.

I promised him one introduction this season where I made him sound good,

it's Paul Williams.

Thanks, Jeremy.

So, you're wearing a pair of sunglasses tonight?

Yeah, I just decided it was the season finale and I wanted to dress up,

but I was already wearing my finest clothes, so I thought I'd don some shades.

- Nice shades. Dirty Dogs. - Yes, Dirty Dogs.

They're not a sponsor, but shout out to Dirty Dogs.

You're gonna wear them during the whole show?

I was planning to. Is that is that ok?

No.

Sorry.

What's our prize task today, Paul?

This week, we asked our contestants to bring along their best DIY.

As the name suggests,

this could be anything that they have built, made, or done themselves.

The Taskmaster will choose the best DIY

and the person who did that I-Y gets five points...

..ooh. Gets five points. That was the end of that sentence.

With the winner of tonight's show taking home all five DIYs.

Wow. Exciting. A prize task fit for a grand final.

Where are we going to start first, Leigh Hart?

Sorry. Yeah, sure.

Look, this is something I've been spending a bit of time on lately.

It's a DIY project in many ways. It's a chip brand called Snackachangi.

- What? - That's pretty good.

And they said it couldn't be done, but we put the vinegar in first.

Ok.

Creating, of course, vinegar and salt Snackachangi.

- To be fair, they are really good chips. - How much is he paying you?

- Mads, what did you bring in? - I bought a cute little car.

I built a car. Aw. Nice.

Did you make all of it yourself?

Yep, I screwed the screws and I stuck the woods.

You stuck the woods?

Yeah, I stuck the woods and I made that car.

And she bloody goes, mate, oh, bloody hell.

How long did it take you?

Ah, three minutes.

Angela, I can't wait to hear what you've brought in.

So this was something I made because we went into lockdown and it was kind of cold.

And I wanted to make my mom a hat, but we weren't able to order anything.

So I fashioned a crochet hook from a chopstick

and crocheted a beanie for my mum.

- Wow. - That's very good.

Doesn't really look like a beanie, looks like a beret.

Yeah. I don't actually know how to crochet a beanie, so, it's a doily.

Yeah, it's a doily.

Is your mum pissed off that you took away her beanie to give it away on this show?

No, cuz it's nearly summer.

- Guy, what did you bring in? - I bought my Uncle John.

Basically, what happened is we want to save some money in a funeral,

so we cremated the body DIY in our oven at home.

So you're Guy's brother, do you know about this great Uncle John?

He was helping me stuff the body in the oven.

Yeah, as a member of Guy's family, I can confirm that this is

not real.

And on that note, can I just talk about something that is real,

and that is the flavour of vinegar and salt...

- On those chips. - Thanks, Mads.

I actually have Guy's DIY here. John's ashes.

Pretty good DIY.

Do you want to open them up?

- I guess so. - Do you want to smell...

Well, don't- that's, that's unsafe.

Taste it. Taste it.

Go on, have a taste.

- Don't- Oh! - Taste it!

- Uncle John! - We'll see if it's Uncle John or not.

It's hard to tell.

What does he taste like?

I mean, I don't know what ashes would taste like, but this is quite yum.

That's Uncle John, all right.

He was yum when he was alive, and he's yum when he's dead.

I'll just-

Dark as hell.

Oh, it's like malty. Malted.

If I was you guys I would stop tasting that,

that's crushed up kitty litter.

I didn't think you would start licking the ashes.

Quite nice.

- Is that kitty litter? - Yeah, crushed up kitty litter, yeah.

I went up to K Road and got a- got a packet, got the tape...

Googled how old an old man would be.

Good effort.

Brynley. Please. What did you bring in?

Well, before the show I asked the producers

what it would take for me to win the entire series,

and they said that I would have to win every task in this show

and Angela would have to be disqualified from all of them.

So it doesn't look like I'm going to win,

so I made my own Taskmaster trophy.

And I've made a few embellishments, namely the eyes.

Is it possible to do a side by side comparison of Brynley's one and

the actual Taskmaster trophy?

- Uncanny. Uncanny. - It looks like your dud brother.

All right, time to judge these fantastic items. Leigh...

Yes, mate.

One point for you.

Have you tried them, though? Have you tried them? The chips.

- Oh, no, I've tried them. - Oh, yeah, very good.

Yeah. Absolutely wonderful chips. The salt and vinegar flavours...

Tell 'em Jeremy sent ya.

- Brynley, two points for you. - Oh!

I'm just kind of sick of the sycophantic Taskmaster stuff.

We've had Angela bringing in stuff for the last couple of episodes,

now we've got this.

I'm over all that sort of stuff. You can understand that, surely.

Angela, the beanie for me was disappointing, but still

three points for you.

Guy, your fake ashes.

Everybody ate them, so they provided some kind of entertainment,

so four points for you

And that means that, Madeleine, you win with five points

because making toys for kids is great.

Thank you.

Let's update the overall series scoreboard, shall we, Paul?

With a nine and a half point lead, Angella Dravid.

I'm clawing my way back.

Well it looks like it's anyone's game, apart from Guy...

and Leigh... and Brynley.

It's not their game, but we'll soldier on anyway. Task me up again, please, Paul.

Sure thing, Jeremy Wells. A task like this is almost criminal.

Almost.

Hi, Paul.

- Hello, Paul. - Hello, Brynley.

What, Tina did, did she? Did Danny say that?

- Hello, Angela. - Hello.

No, no, I'm still doing that Taskmaster show, yeah.

Yeah, I'm pretty much winning, yeah.

Oh, hey, Paul. How's it going?

- You good? - I'm good. Thank you.

- I'm well. - I didn't ask.

I know.

It's my favourite part, this.

- 'Commit a crime.' - 'You cannot break the law', oh what?

'Commit a crime. You can't break the law.'

- You have 10 minutes to plan your crime- - Then 10 minutes to commit it.

- Best crime wins. - Your time starts now.

Technically I've already committed a crime in the, uh, in the guest bathroom.

You don't want to see that.

It's a good thing they wrote that you cannot break the law there

because, otherwise, it'd just be go outside and

throw a rock at a car or something. That was my first thought.

Ok, let's think of crimes that I can commit. Stealing, public fornication...

Are you down?

If the best crime is the best of the worst, then I think it's murder.

Is murder against the law?

Yeah, murder is against the law. I'm pretty sure taking someone's life...

20 things that you think are illegal, but aren't.

Having a monkey for a pet. Marrying your cousin! That's good.

What?

- Maybe I can make up a law and break it. - You got one minute.

All right. Crime ready to go.

Brynley, you wanted to fornicate with Paul? Public fornication is a crime?

Yeah, guess so. Dunno. I never tried it. You down?

- Not publicly. - Oh, ok... what?

Wow. Feel like my point's are going to go up.

Feel like something's gonna go up.

Let's dampen it all down a little bit and talk to Guy.

Guy, all great season finales have a wedding scene in them,

but I just didn't think that our season finale

was going to have a wedding featuring you and a cousin.

Guy attempted to marry his cousin,

but the cousin was still mad from the time Guy cremated our uncle.

Would you like to see some legal crimes?

Absolutely. I'd love to. Which criminal mastermind do you want to show me first?

Here's the dastardly Brynley Stent.

Do you think I can break into the neighbour's house?

What if I popped into their property and

hung out with some sheep- nah, that's not a crime.

Or is it? That's trespassing.

- Yeah. - I love that.

Trespassing isn't breaking the law, is it?

Oh, well.

Ooh. You know, it doesn't feel as cool as I thought it would.

What's it feel like?

Just feels like I'm standing in a field.

They're running away from me.
