Jesper has difficulty expressing love

In Jesper’s film, Jesper and Mark (playing the character ‘Lau’) – both wearing ill-suited curly brown wigs – are sitting on a couch together, playing video games.

During a break in the action, Jesper turns to Lau and asks if he thinks Bodil Jensen is cute [note: Bodil Jensen is also the name of a Danish politician who was 90 years old, at the time of filming, but is presumably not whom they were referring to].

Jesper says that even though they’re friends, he’s been attracted to Bodil for quite some time.

Lau encourages Jesper to tell Bodil about his feelings.

Jesper agrees, and promises Lau that he’ll ask Bodil if she’ll be his girlfriend when they go out for dinner later that evening.

At the restaurant, Bodil (also played by Mark) joins Jesper at the table, and the two share champagne and appetisers.

Jesper continually stumbles on his words, trying to build up his courage to profess his feelings, but eventually chickens out and instead tells Bodil that he prefers to use SPF 50 when the sun is out.

He continues to explain to her that since he burns so easily, he is “anti-climate” [note: the ‘anti-climate’/’anti-climactic’ wordplay here works a bit better in Danish than in English].

In the studio, Jesper defends his film by claiming that it is a tribute to the German comedian Loriot’s sketch Die Nudel (‘The Noodle’).

Lasse awards Jesper fourth place.
