Welcome to Rico Face is the fourth episode of the second season of the British comedy game show, Taskmaster. The episode features five comedians, each attempting to compete in a series of bizarre tasks in order to win points and ultimately be crowned the "Taskmaster" of the episode.
As per tradition, each episode begins with the contestants presenting their various "prize possessions" to the host of the show, Greg Davies, who will rate them based on their personal value and assign points accordingly. This episode's contestants include Joe Wilkinson, Roisin Conaty, Doc Brown, Jon Richardson, and Katherine Ryan, each eager to impress the Taskmaster and earn points along the way.
The first challenge of the show is for each contestant to create a unique "Rico Face", a new facial expression that they must perform in front of the Taskmaster while he rates each performance on a scale of 1 to 10. The comedians all approach the task with their own personal flair, resulting in some truly bizarre facial expressions that manage to entertain both the Taskmaster and the audience.
The next task involves the contestants having to re-enact a famous movie scene, with a catch: they must swap roles with another contestant halfway through the scene. This results in some comical performances, with the comedians struggling to recreate the intensity and dramatic tone of the original scenes while also trying to insert their own personal style and comedic flair.
In the third task, contestants are given a small amount of time to memorize a tray of objects before having to recreate the tray exactly as it was, without being allowed to look at the tray as they do so. This task proves to be more challenging than it seems, with the comedians struggling to remember the exact number and placement of each item in just a few short minutes.
The fourth task of the episode requires the contestants to use various household objects to create a work of art that represents a life event or milestone they wish to celebrate. The results range from thought-provoking to downright absurd, with each comedian using their unique sense of humor and creativity to create something truly special within the given time frame.
Finally, the episode ends with the "live task", in which the comedians must engage in a round of "human hoover", in which they are all placed on a specially designed track and must use a vacuum cleaner to suck up various objects as they race towards the finish line. This task provides a hilarious end to the episode, with the comedians bumping and jostling each other as they try to get ahead and come out victorious.
Overall, Welcome to Rico Face is a hilarious and entertaining episode of Taskmaster, filled with some truly unique challenges and standout performances from each of the contestants. Whether you're a fan of comedy, gameshows, or just looking for a good laugh, this episode is definitely worth checking out.
