Episode synopsis

In this episode the contestants must bring in something they've borrowed but never returned, unravel a reel of string, make a waffle from a distance, fill an eggcup with tears, and put on a frozen shirt and tie.

Alternate Titles

  • On Sweden's SVT Play streaming platform, this episode is titled 'Löpa linan ut', which translates as 'Run the line out'. This is a reference to the 'Unravel the reel of string' task. [Translator credit: DANI]

    Taskmaster Intro

    Welcome to Kongen Befaler! In this programme, I have gathered five of Norway's finest comedians to give them more or less meaningless tasks, which they have to solve to the best, or worst, of their abilities.

    Assistant Intro

    To make sure the rules are followed, metres are measured, and seconds are counted, I am aided by my assistant, Olli Wermskog.
