Pirjo presents commentary on modern work culture

Pirjo questions why anyone should listen to the Taskmaster, who is unpredictable, and “acts like a dictator, and then hands out points in a completely arbitrary way.” She asks Pilvi if the video could instead be about why someone shouldn’t listen to the Taskmaster. She uses the puppet theatre to tell the tale of when the Taskmaster demanded a palace be built for him. The builders consist of Simo Rantalainen (a 1990s journalist and talk show host who worked for the same network on which Suurmestari airs) and Raimo Helminen (an ice hockey player between the 1980s and early 2000s), and are portrayed by paper cut-outs of a rabbit and a person, respectively. The two men take a break and question why they are being forced to build a palace. Suddenly, the Taskmaster (played by one of the portraits of Jaakko) appears, demanding to know why the work has stopped. He then grudgingly admits that modern work culture dictates that he acknowledge his workers as individuals. Simo and Raimo are happy that the Taskmaster was able to meet them at their level, before they realise that they are both masters in their individual fields. Pirjo wins the task.
