Weirdest/Craziest Tasks Ever
« on: February 15, 2014, 08:01:52 AM »
There were a load of crazy, hilarious and weird tasks over the course of 13+ years of TAR. I think we should reminisce these unique experiences to keep ourselves uplifted. :) Last season, some tasks that caught my eye were the bungee swing in Narvik and the escaped rhino drill (task identity crisis :funny:) in Tokyo. I don't know why, but I found the rhino Speed Bump's timing unfitting and bizarre in a funny way.

I also loved the Roadblock weirdness of the TAR17's premiere when Claire got fruit-smacked. How do the routers come up with these tasks, I'm not sure, but I love them for these crazy antics.

Well, I don't know about weird, but the top of my list for craziness has got to go to ALL 3 Japanese Game Show tasks!  :lol:

Just the whole atmosphere, with the Japanese audience and their enthusiasm, and of course the host.  The Japanese are known for their love of Game Shows and this comes across in all three of these tasks.

If I was to choose the craziest though, it has to be Season 20 - catching the chicken whilst running on a treadmill...... I mean, THEY'RE TRYING TO CATCH A HANGING RUBBER CHICKEN WHILE RUNNING ON A CONVEYOR BELT!!!!!! How in any way, can this ever be topped??!! :funny: :funny: :colors

The Crazy Labyrinth in Berlin in TAR 22 and Indian Holy Festival in TAR 13 would be on the top of my list.  :funny:

The Tomato War in TAR 10 is cool too.

The weirdest in terms of how horrible it was?

TAR 21 Indonesia "Bull Racing".

Quite possibly the most boring i.e pointless i.e weird task ever tbh.

I actually meant the positive kind of weird like the elephant riding a bicycle from the TAR23 season premiere promotions. :lol: The bull race was kind of unnecessary, not necessarily weird in my opinion.
