Vegard tries too hard

Vegard runs into frame with an office chair, declaring that he’s going to make a video that he’s already made himself, but that he will dress it up a bit as well. He says that the best case scenario is for it to go wrong and look extra stupid.

His video begins with him saying, in English, "Are you ready dad? Let’s go!", before running around the garden dressed up in a costume he has made out of a piece of red fabric, a pink scarf, and a helmet. He’s carrying a red leafblower, and the film speeds up as he pirouettes awkwardly through the garden to stupidly cheerful music.

He then sits cross-legged in the office chair, and begins to spin around by using the leafblower to propel him, while saying, "Oh my god, this is so powerful. I feel, like, so dizzy right now."

Somebody shouts "Now!" off-screen, and Vegard then stands up and points the leaf-blower directly at his face, before falling over to a silly sound effect. He rolls helplessly on the ground before staggering dizzily around the garden, and collapsing again by the fountain.

Vegard takes an ironic in-studio bow, before Atle accuses him of being a try-hard, and puts him in last place.

[Note: In his own attempt, Bård had predicted that Vegard would go 'full throttle' in the task, as America’s Funniest Home Videos was his favourite show.]
