Episode 1: The big ugly carpet man

Episode synopsis

In this season premiere, the contestants must count all the dots on a card while completing some other distracting tasks, disadvantage themselves before playing a game of task bingo, write a grown-up children’s song, get water from a plate into a vase, and write answers to Lasse’s questions based on a letter they’ve chosen.

Title context

Mette Søndergaard sings a lullaby to baby Mark about “The big ugly carpet man” for her attempt at the ‘Write a grown-up children’s song’ task.

Taskmaster Intro

Good evening. Welcome to a brand new season of Stormester. Tonight, the hunt begins for the most creative, most inventive, and most desperate mind in one of Denmark’s funniest heads.

Assistant Intro

Ah, how nice to sit next to your old companion, Mark le Fêvre.

Episode prize

The prize in this episode is the contents of Lars Hjortshøj’s youngest child’s børneosparing – a savings account specifically designed for children, meant to be paid out when the child reaches early adulthood. When pressed by the other contestants, Lars implies that the winner will not actually be able to receive the money until his child turns 18.
