Jesper forgets his joke

Jesper makes two stuffed fish talk to each other.

One says “Hej” (‘Hi’), and the other replies “Hvor?” (‘Where?’).

The joke is wordplay, based on the fact that the words ‘hej’ and ‘haj’ (‘shark’) sound alike.

The problem is that Jesper’s punchline is delivered in the third picture (the fourth picture is Jesper holding up a sign that says ‘The end’), which breaks the four-picture-joke concept of the task.

Jesper seems to realise this, and struggles to come up with an explanation by which the final picture could be considered a punchline.

Lasse awards Jesper fourth place.
