Episode synopsis
In this episode, the contestants must bring in something that changes how people think about you, bounce something up into a tower, find a gherkin, make 30 seconds of pillow TV, and count to 13.
Title context
Snorre Monsson repeatedly exclaims “Hawk tuah, spit on that thing” during the ‘Make 30 seconds of pillow TV’ task, referencing the meme-ified catchphrase of internet personality Haliey Welch. ‘Hakk tua’ is presumably just a Norwegian take on the spelling of the sound of someone spitting.
Taskmaster Intro
Welcome to Kongen Befaler, where we take the temperature of mediocre participants in exceptional events.
Assistant Intro
And with me, a man who possesses mediocre skills in life, but exceptional skills in measuring, timing, and weighing. Who’s that? Yes, it’s Olli Wermskog, everybody!
Taskmaster's Sign-off
Lesson of the day: if you can’t find your gherkin, it’s probably right in front of you.
