Why this story? The channel's weekly summary: what went up this week, what is drawing views now, and where the channel stands among similar channels.

The cap needed explaining. Richard Ayoade's lengthy Gatorland preamble, ending with a souvenir trucker cap, has now reached nearly three million views and become Taskmaster's most-watched upload of the week.

The outtake gives Alex Horne plenty of opportunities to correct Richard's theme-park facts, while Greg Davies finds himself making an alligator pun. In the comments, viewers pick out Alex's running fact-checks, ask for the later shot of Richard wearing the cap and wonder why this much studio silliness didn't make the broadcast.

That appetite for the bits between the tasks runs through the week's nine uploads. "Is drinking just spilling stuff inside you? #outtake #taskmaster" supplies a philosophical detour; "A deep dive into Alex's iPad. #outtake #taskmaster" is currently attracting views fastest across the channel, followed by the full episode and Richard's reptile excursion.

Episode 9, "Taskmaster Season 22, Episode 9 - 'A very televisual torso.' | Full Episode", has its own peculiar workload: Nina Conti insults a citrus fruit, Chloe Petts struggles to light a match and Isy Suttie concentrates on 1991. Joel Dommett then returns to the grounds to discuss it with Ed Gamble on the podcast.

Taskmaster added roughly 10,000 subscribers over the week, although daily viewing is currently well below its usual level. Among its nearby show-channel peers, BondiRescue also had a substantial viewing week, while Idols Global was quieter. For Taskmaster, the freshest momentum belongs to that glimpse inside Alex's iPad.

The ele-gator was the perfect pun from the man who hates puns.
