Johan the japester

Johan’s immediate instinct is to prank call someone, and tell them things that aren’t true.

Johan and David move to the study, where Johan relays his plan to David: Johan, playing a man named Zlatan, will call a dog daycare and ask if they can board his large, incredibly fast dog. He quickly abandons this idea, though, instead deciding to just “go for it”.

Johan ends up calling Stockholm Parking (a company that owns and operates parking garages around Stockholm), identifying himself as the actor Micke Persbrandt, and demanding that the company allow him to park his Porsche for free.

When ‘Micke’s request is denied, he explains that he is still upset that his role as Björn in The Hobbit movies was completely edited out, and that he could really use a break in his life, such as free parking. This causes David to break composure, and he has to press his clipboard against his mouth, to stifle his laughter.

The woman on the other end of the phone then relents, telling ‘Micke’ to come to the company’s main office, to see what can be arranged. ‘Micke’ then thanks the woman, and ends the call.

Babben awards Johan fourth place, as she thinks no-one had really believed his fakery.
