"Weatherstripping Licorice"
Welcome to Kongen Befaler!
In this program, five court jesters will entertain me-
-by solving various tasks with various results and levels of difficulty.
The least hopeless and helpless throughout the season-
-wins this: a bust in gold of me.
And as the old saying goes:
"Behind every successful king sits a mediocre and unsteady, -
-but underpaid, assistant, Olli Wermskog. Hearty.
And we have this gang. And it must be said:
They're quite amazing. I welcome Jon Almaas, -
-Maria Stavang, Mia Hundvin, Magnus Devold-
and Calle Hellevang-Larsen.
Maria, you look very hot and clear.
-I'm always ready for you, baby. -So, so.
- There's too much left. Jon. - Yes.
-Alert? -Always. Yes, yes.
I don't necessarily look like that,
- but there's a viper lurking. - What?
-Yuck. -I like that picture.
-No, that was a disgusting picture. -It looks like a twig, -
- but it's a viper. - It's not getting better.
- Calle! - Yes.
The score says you are leading after the first episode.
Who would have thought that? You said early on that you're going for second place.
This looks scary.
-I'm turned on by 10. -Is it 10?
It's 10.
Then I will not see five. I can say that right away.
-Yes, Magnus. Is there anything new? -I'm turned on by 10, me too.
The worst thing is that it's true.
This is the smoothest person we have ever experienced.
Completely smooth. Located on your own "10".
-My own level. -Yes.
It's great when you can make the scale yourself.
Yes, but my Lord creates, have we not forgotten you, Mia?
-No. -No, we don't have it.
Do you have a little extra power lurking for this episode?
-I have to rebound ["a bitch to travel"]. -Yes, you have it.
Can you put it that way? If she can say "baby" to you-
and you can call him a viper,
-then I can say "bitch to travel."
What was this for?
A big round of applause for the participants.
Olli, can you tell us what the first task of the day is?
It is, as always, that the participants bring something within a category, -
-as you asked them to. The one who has solved the task best, -
-wins, and all the things go in a pot-
-which today's winner takes to share and own.
What did you ask them to bring today?
Today I asked them to bring something similar to food, -
-but is not food.
I think this time we start with the tall man himself.
Who is turned on ten, I mean.
I'm still turned on ten and look forward to showing-
-what I bring to you today.
Yes, I've been to Japan.
And in Japan, they have, in all their restaurants, -
-this here! There are models of all the food they have.
Yes.
-And this is exactly the same food. -Yes.
-It looks exactly the same. -The task is solved.
-I don't want to say anything more than that. -No. I am pleased.
We're going to the next one. We're going to you, Mia.
Yes. Eh ...
I have something similar to food, which was food.
- As in ...? - Was food.
-Which was food once? -Yes.
Yes.
It's not vomit, is it?
No...
-No, but is it ...? -Now we almost have to see what it is.
-I hope it isn't what I think. -No, but you know-
-that it has become so fashionable to make baby cakes that look like something.
So I have included a picture of what I was going to make. Can we see it?
So you love being modern? You should make that, yes.
Yes, I go hard every time.
- Do you have the result? - Yes...
-Let me see. -Ta-da!
Yes, look there, yes! Look.
-Yes... -This is the finest.
-It's the finest, yes. -It's food.
Yes, and then I have not solved the task? I knew it.
But it is not ... It knew ...
-It tastes like food. -The Taskmaster knows it, too.
-That was good. -Yes?
All this just to ruin Mia's task.
Let's go directly to Kjepp Høyesen in the middle, then we'll see-
-how you've done. -I have something with me that ...
... is similar to food, but which is not.
And then I made ...
- Have you had a sneak peek, Mia? - I made petit four.
-Oi! -Dessert.
I can tell you what it is.
It looks very edible.
Yes, it's similar to food, right?
There are felt knobs with silicone and some wood chips on top.
And it's a Glava confection with Owatrol teak oil
-and Plumbo.
And this is lacquered mothball with ant hill.
-So impressive. -It looks like food?
Yes, it's similar to dessert. Yes, it's similar to a petit four.
Maria, now we do something original and skip Calle.
Everyone thought we should go in order.
I have brought something that I ate a lot as a child.
-Oi! Irish coffee. -Look here.
And that is mud water.
On top I have shaving foam.
Which I have seasoned with coffee grounds.
-Bon appetit. -It looks really good.
-Yes, it looks exciting. -It tastes tart.
The good thing is that you have mixed the ingredients yourself, -
-then you have tasted it, to be sure it is not edible.
Last participant before we hand out the points, Calle.
Like Jon, I think you're a guy who loves goodies.
Sweets, so I made a three-layer dish
-with goodies for you.
Let's see...
Only merged three layers ...
Can you describe in detail what you have done?
Absolutely. On the top layer we have a meringue kiss with a sparkle taste.
We have weatherstripping licorice.
We have chocolate sponge cake with brown grout and washing powder.
Then we have barley foam muffins with melted raspberry stearin.
And scraps of rust.
At the bottom we have the same muffin, only with chewing tobacco.
And minijack cable. And then you have this treat:
"Wall insulation from the '60s" cotton candy.
We'll do a short process and hand out the points.
The worst thing is that Magnus, you get the least, because you made it so easy.
I brought it from Japan.
-But I promise ... -I drove a car!
If you had ...
If you had taken a trip ...
If you had taken a trip to Japan just to pick it up, -
-then you would have come in second. But it's last.
Mia, second to last place for a brave attempt, -
- but with helpless results. - I have a little to learn.
And otherwise it is relatively difficult.
Maria is third. There is no doubt that Jon, fantastic effort, -
- but the winner of it is ... - Yes!
Calle.
Here we have the scores.
Then we have the points. I think we should move on, Olli.
-Always, you know. -Good, then we'll go for a little walk-
-to the wonderful world of water.
I can say one thing: I'm not going to bathe in that bathtub.
"Fill the tub ..."
"Fill the tub with water from the box. You can not move or destroy -
-the box or the tub."
"The water turns on for 90 seconds in 20 minutes."
"Most water in the tub wins. Time starts now."
OK. The water should just get from here to over there?
-Yes. -Yes.
What is this little trick?
Is it a spreader? What kind of nozzle is this?
That is what's fun to find out.
So I have to make ...
I just have to make ... make something?
The participants thus have 20 minutes to prepare
- before the water is turned on for 90 seconds. During the 90 seconds, -
- they should get as much of the water as possible from the box into the tub.
So here it's important to predict the pressure, direction and shape of the water.
It sounds like a task where it is natural to think-
- who do I want to see first? Maria. - Yes.
This is Maria's home ground.
-Can we do it that way? -Can't we see both Maria-
- and put on Calle, too? - We can season it with a little Calle.
-What do you think, then? -How to transport this water-
- to there? - Fifteen minutes left.
Hell, you're so annoying.
No, what to do?
It might be that it's that simple. Just take a bucket and join in -
-when the water comes. Take the water to the tub.
Pretty sure I'll manage some water now.
Five, four, three, two, one.
There!
This is plan A. The reds are a plan A / plan B.
If I use this, it's because I'm completely panicked.
Yes.
30 seconds left.
No!
Olli, can you keep it a little tilted?
Yes.
Four, three, two, one. And stop.
Three, two, one, and done.
-Yes. -The simplest is often the best.
Yes. You have to get the water there. You can't move it now.
What?
That's how much water there is after 90 seconds.
Why didn't you say so while I was working?
-It was stated in the letter. -Now I'm going home.
I stay here and measure nothing.
-Shut up! Are you serious, Olli? -Yes.
Now you're just stupid. Now you're just an old man.
I always look like a jerk in these tasks.
They see this in the studio, then they laugh at me, then Jon laughs at me, -
-and then I'm wet. What fun TV this is, then!
-That I didn't make it? -On a scale of one to ten?
Eight-nine fun.
Yes, Olli is absolutely right here.
This is probably eight or nine for fun.
I have to say that. Where do you put yourself on the scale, Maria?
I see that I am very angry, and I get very angry to see it.
He had an opportunity to tell me that the water had to go into the tub.
I had the opportunity, but that's not my job.
Calle, what do you think?
Why bother with this middleman with the wheelbarrow?
When you first got the water up?
The wheelbarrow can contain a lot of water, so if I had gotten a lot of water up.
That was pretty smart, if you ask me.
But don't interfere now.
-I just... -Kjepp Høyesen.
I only have one question. I think you got a lot of water in the tub.
Why should you pump it from the tub into the tub?
-No... -It isn't made for that purpose.
-You could have ... -Lifted it.
But the plan was that there would be so much water that it became so heavy.
-And in the heat of the panic ... -So your plan-
-was that it was completely full of water.
It's too heavy. Then I understand.
-Absolutely. -Then it goes up.
Then it goes up.
Only it wasn't full of water.
- All right, Maria. - Can I guess?
-Yes. -Zero.
Yes, that's right. That's right.
There wasn't even a bead of sweat in that bathtub.
Calle, you also have zero. But you got 48 liters.
So almost a pint. We have three left.
-Yes, shall we all three at once? -Yes.
A bucket is always ....
I'm making a kind of bucket ballet here.
Jon probably has some insane plan.
As long as there is a fall the right way, all the water will go into ...
... the bathtub.
This one is now foolproof.
Had this been a 4-star dinner, I would have been the chef.
It looks impressive, Jon Almaas, but is it so effective?
This is a toilet, but I use it as a funnel.
- This is so much trouble, Jon. - There I have the water.
Then it comes up here. It will be like a small fountain.
Three, two, one. And water.
Yes.
It works like a bullet.
Five, four, three, two and one.
It was on the second.
It looks smaller than I had hoped, but ...
It was a slightly complicated construction.
You could take a garden hose and just hold it next to the nozzle.
But that would be very boring.
It is typically such a Mia solution.
Three, two, one and water.
Yes! Oh, it's leaking too much.
But it comes out there. Olli!
-20 seconds left. -But I can take that water ...
Fuck, fuck, fuck!
15 seconds left.
Four, three, two, one. And stop.
Fuck!
I always feel it could have been better.
They are very unredeeming, these tasks to Atle.
Mia, if I say the number 43, -
- what do you think that means? - Liters!
-No, the number of times you said fuck. -Oh no.
-Damn it! -That's my girl!
-Thank you, Atle. -But it was a clear progress.
Now these participants remembered the water had to go in the tub.
But what do you think? Shall we get some numbers?
-Can I say something first? -Yes.
If there is justice in the world, I have more than Jon.
We'll see. Jon's transport via cardboard pipes, toilets and gutters.
Shall we see? It gave 9.3 liters of water.
Yes, you get applause. You shouldn't clap too much.
Because Mia's garden hose transported 12.3 liters!
You must not clap too much, because Magnus' bucket ballet
-got 16 liters. -No!
It's great.
So after two tasks we have this score.
Calle leads. See here, Calle and Jon in shared first place.
I said I was going to make something. I made something.
-That's enough. -Yes, you have your words intact.
But can we get more of a cabin vibe, Olli?
Yes, you can. You can even get a '70s cabin atmosphere.
Oi.
Oh, a little Turkish rug, a deck of cards.
Build the tallest house of cards.
Atle's golden bird must stand on top for 10 seconds. You have 10 minutes.
Time starts now. Oh yes, it's not that heavy.
Help. Help me.
I am not very fond of card houses.
The task is both simple and clear.
Build a house of cards, put the bird on top. Highest house wins.
But first we take a short break.
Welcome back to Kongen Befaler. Where were we, Olli?
Participants must build a house of cards that can withstand your little golden bird, -
-which stands on the roof of the house of cards.
It seems as if Jon, according to himself, -
-has a lot to offer here.
We'll see if it's an advantage that you've been on this before.
-Let's see? -Jon?
-Can we do that? -Yes, should I add in Mia and Calle?
And see a classic approach to the task?
-Sprinkle them over. -Yes.
The lower floor must be larger.
Like that.
There.
Then it's going well. I have full control.
The light bit ... The first floor ...
But that doesn't work. They slip on it.
You see, it's slipping.
How can I get it higher?
That ... eh.
-I have glue saliva! -How the hell ... Oh yes! OK.
You can of course do that.
You can modify the cards.
This is not ... everyone who comes on. What?
That one ... I have not even seen. And I've built a lot of house of cards.
I so want to pound my fist hard into something.
When it rained in the cabin and you had nothing to do, -
-you'd build a house of cards.
And those who are growing up today, with only a cell phone, -
-they don't have that advantage.
How high did you manage to build it?
One level...
Yes! Yes!
Then it is obviously a matter of modifying -
the cards. All the houses kept my golden bird up.
So they are approved, of course.
But we need to know how high they were.
Yes. Calle's house was 7.5 cm.
Yes, Mia, 9.5.
And Jon's was 36, or six-and-thirty, the old-fashioned way.
How did her house get taller than mine?
When both had one floor.
I know the answer to that. Because the second floor -
- collapsed on the first floor. - No, that's not why.
You had lying cards, and she had standing.
Do you think it's OK to physically destroy the cards?
It didn't say that you couldn't do it.
-Who has broken cards? -You folded.
Oh yes, the board, yes. It is not to destroy. It is to modify.
Shall we take a look at what you call youth?
-I think so. -We have Magnus and Maria.
-Card house. -Ta-da.
Here it is important to think a little outside the box.
If you're starting to make a regular house of cards now ...
Then you are reasonably ... short ...
...thought.
Why do you never brag about me?
When I have managed to solve something good?
That's not the type I am.
Ta...
Ta, da, da da! A house of cards!
It's a house with lots of cards.
Voila!
What an ... engineering feat!
Yes, the youth have obviously never built card houses before.
Which is an advantage in this context.
Not to be tainted by the experiences of previous generations.
-It can be an advantage. -That's how it's always done at the cabin.
Yes, correct. It didn't look like it was your first time.
I can start with Maria's tower. It was 62 cm.
Very good! While Magnus' was a full 71 cm.
-So you run away ... -Two in a row!
Two in a row!
Wow!
If I were you, Magnus, I would give up now.
I love being underrated.
And that's what you are. You too.
And you in the hall. You at home in the living room.
See who's laughing now?
The audience laughs a little. And I laugh inside me.
I'm at ten yet.
-Do you want a new task? -Yes, very.
I want to ask a question, Olli.
-Elevator or stairs? -Stairs ...
Hello. No, hey! Always elevator.
-Olli! Yes, take the elevator. -Always a lift.
Then we take the elevator.
-Do you work here? -Hi.
-You're welcome. -Oi, 200 kroner. [~US$21]
For me?
"Go through a transformation during the elevator ride up to the 33rd floor."
"You have a budget of 200 kroner to make the transformation the best it can be."
So I'm going to take the elevator, and something insane is going to happen there?
We have the elevator to ourselves. So I can be buck naked, if I want to.
-Perfect. -I say if I want it.
-Yes, yes. -I go shopping.
You do what you do. Talk to you soon, and keep up the good work.
Participants will go through the biggest transformation during an elevator ride.
-in 20-some seconds.
The transformation you like best is the winner.
Yes, who should we see first?
We'll ride with the whole gang.
-All five? -No, maybe not Magnus, -
-since he is not quite part of the gang yet.
-Have you used the 200 kroner? -Yes.
-I'm ready, I am. -The elevator is there.
-Yes. -How long does 33 floors take?
-The time 33 floors takes. -Cool.
What do I press?
-Who are you? - A short knight.
- Don't you see it? -Yes, are you Svein? [son of Cnut the Great, king]
-It went too fast. -What are you?
-Don't you see who I am? -No.
Dracula!
-Very good. -Thanks.
Pablo Escobar.
Good dog.
I know it's you. It's good.
Maria, Maria, Maria.
-Now I'm actually disappointed with you. -No!
Because I've got expectations for you. I was so wrong.
When you're going to make a total change, do you just go for the face?
That is 4.5% of all the skin you have.
But I died in that elevator and resurrected as a vampire!
We believe you. Mia.
Pablo Escobar? Why?
Because he is dark and has a beard. I have not grown.
And is not dark. Two by two!
Imagine if you had managed it, too?
-Yes, fuck! Sorry, 44. -Because you weren't quite done.
But...
You're not a mafia boss, are you?
-Thank you, Jon! -It's three out of three.
-And I'm not Spanish. -How helpful he is-
-when he knows it's gone to hell.
Calle, very snazzy and nice.
What kind of dog were you?
-Dog? -I didn't go for a dog.
- I went for ... - You weren't a dog?
No, I was trying to be a very short Arab.
There was no time for that.
We'll make it easy. If you insist on being a short Arab, -
-then there won't be many points for you. Let me repeat the question.
What kind of dog were you?
OK, I was an Arabian dwarf-cocker spaniel.
OK. Good! You saw it!
That was impressive.
-You still have one left. -Yes, that's the worst.
-It's Magnus. -Perhaps the most difficult to change.
He is the tallest, but perhaps the most agile?
Yes, it may be.
I wouldn't think that way myself. But...
- Shall we look at it? - Yes. Immediately.
Hmmm, when I think about it. How about an ever so small break?
Welcome back. Participants have now changed -
-during an elevator ride. We anxiously await the last one.
- Also called "tall man". - Are you ready, Magnus?
I have such high expectations.
Then we'll see.
Like that.
Now you will see a genius at work.
Hello?
I have these boxes ... No!
No!
Lovely London!
Eh ... Yes.
You're leaving me like this. Watch.
-What are you? -I'm gone.
I disappeared into thin air during an elevator ride.
- You're a floor? - Yes, I'm a floor.
The biggest transformation one can make is to change from a two-meter-tall man -
-to becoming invisible.
Yes, I would say that was very impressive.
We owe you an apology.
But we owe you all a kind of scoring.
-I want to start at the bottom ... -I'll take that!
Are you taking it? That's just fine.
I had planned it already.
Yes, and it's because you had an inner journey from a lot of confidence-
-to total ruin.
Yeah, like I've had these past two programs.
Then it's between the other three here. I am willing to put -
- Jon in third place.
Almost a little surprising, because it was high level on you.
But second place goes to he who became a floor. Because it was almost impossible-
-to imagine that it was possible.
It will be second place this time.
Calle wins the task!
Yes.
Let's see what it looks like after four tasks.
-Here you see that Magnus is leading. -Yes, but it's close at the top.
You look a little lost today, Maria.
Yes, but I'm coming back strong.
Yes, you do.
It's good to know. You also need what is coming now.
Because it's the last task. And as we know, the last task-
- is going to happen here in the studio!
In front of the audience! On stage! Get on stage.
Yes, we have come to the last task of the day.
Atle, you're sitting at the end of a long table. Good. Well spotted.
-Maria, what do you have in your hand? -A letter!
-You can read it. -Oh well.
Ah ... I had one job.
-Should I just read it? -Didn't we check if she can read?
"Serve Atle by sending the order down the bar counter."
-What he said. -Yes. Well.
So you have to send a beer down to Atle.
The two most precise deliveries-
-go on to a final. Do you understand the task?
Yes.
Magnus, you're leading, so you have to start. The rest of you can sit down.
- What do you want, Atle? - A half liter of beer.
That's good. That's what we have.
As much as the others got in the bathtub combined?
- This looks very safe. - Do you drive backhand?
I'm left-handed. Does that mean something?
-No, I'm just asking. -I'm just sending a beer to Atle.
- Are you checking the texture? - It must be allowed to see what kind-
- of bar counter it is? - I think it's a table, Jon.
-Yes, we know that. -But is it solid wood or veneer?
It is birch veneer. With matte lacquer.
-But I'm craving that pilsner. -Yes, of course you have to get beer.
Here it comes.
If you had asked me to build the bar counter, -
- I'd put a small plate under each joint, -
-so there is not a notch where the plates are joined together.
-Absolutely. -Exciting guy.
So you mean, like, saltines and their ilk, eh?
-I want to believe it. -Approximate.
You will think it is impossible. Calle, are you ready?
-Yes. -Sorry, there is no plate.
Very far out on the side then.
-I'm going to push it more. -I did too.
I pushed it.
Great! Mia.
For being completely impossible, it went pretty well, Jon.
Good luck!
-I worked in a bar. -You should say that afterwards.
-Or not say it. -Here it comes. A pint.
-Oh! -Damn it.
In many ways it was very bad right away.
Can I ask a question? Do the two who do the best, -
-go into the final? -That's right.
Oi, did I see a trick? Look there, you!
Then we have two people in the final.
Then we have two in the final. It's Calle and Maria.
What do you want now?
Now I feel like a real meal.
If I can choose my pork and dip.
-OK. -This is more exciting for me.
Just a feeling I have.
-There's more where that came from. -I saved the best for the end.
- Please, Calle. - Now I could just send both-
- but that would be too boring!
Now I actually feel like pork and dip.
It's so tempting to just wall up.
-But does that make sense? -Yes, it might be worth it.
Those at home are probably quite eager to watch it.
But my competitive instinct strikes.
Then I will place it perfectly under your knife and fork.
Atle, do you want cranberry jam? Yes, here it comes.
Can you heat it, because this was cold?
-Ok. -Pork and dip.
We have a winner!
We have a winner. Let's sit down and summarize.
- Do you want points? - Yes.
The points are pretty obvious. Calle, you got five points. Maria, four.
You others, just one point.
Magnus, you led. What does it look like now?
It's Calle again who is today's and tonight's winner. Fantastic!
Arrived! It is absolutely beautiful!
And we take a look at the total score after two programs.
But there are many thousands of points to fight for yet.
So enjoy yourselves and have a good evening.
