"Everything is rusk"
Hello and welcome to Kongen Befaler,
the show that keeps surprising you with what you can get contestants to do
by giving them lucrative fees and a prize for the winner,
which will be the conversation starter in any living room.
With me here is the man who would love a prize like that: Olli Wermskog.
Yes, that's right. I would of course love to have that prize myself,
but for me, it's rewarding enough that I get to sit here next to you.
That's the spirit! How wonderful.
Where would you put the prize?
If you had the opportunity to win it, where would you put it?
If... - Yes, if.
I'm not saying you have won it. - My bed, perhaps?
I think that would be nice.
A bust in gold of me.
I think we'll shift focus to the five contestants who have been
so lucky to be allowed to join us here.
Erik Solbakken.
Tara Lina!
Else Kåss Furuseth!
Aksel Hennie!
And Bjarte Tjøstheim!
Atle, what have you asked these five to bring today?
I've asked them to bring
something they think another contestant would like to win.
The contestant who does best will get 5 points.
Everything is put into a pot, and the winner will take that home.
Yes, and today I want to start with Bjarte.
Right.
What is this?
You seem a bit conflict-averse, all of a sudden.
I thought somebody would probably enjoy this...
...wig, and...
Don't look at me like that, Aksel. - I'm just paying attention.
I don't know what you're talking about.
Right.
Then who is it?
Should I say... - Any of them?
Yes, any of them could get it.
You don't have someone in particular in mind?
Yes, I do.
Yes. - Yes.
Yes. Should I... Here you go, Aksel.
It's very nice, as well. Looks very expensive.
Tara Lina? What did you bring?
Before I reveal it, I just need to tell you a short story first.
About my grandmother again.
The one who tried to poison me in an earlier episode. Accidentally.
My grandmother was illiterate,
so my family bought her one of those Doro home phones for seniors.
Instead of buttons with numbers, they have buttons with pictures.
Big buttons? - Big buttons with pictures.
Right.
You can insert pictures of your family members.
My family didn't bother to replace the pictures that came with the phone.
So she had to remember that the white,
smiling man with the red hair was my uncle.
The baby standing like this was my family. And so on.
And then I thought, Bjarte Tjøsteim. I care about you a lot...
You're approaching retirement age, that's no secret.
I love you, and I want to make your retirement a little bit easier.
Yes. - So I've made...
One of those Doro phones, but with...
Oh, it's a landline, as well.
You, of course, have the guys in Papaya [his podcast],
Tore and Steinar [Sagen, season 4 contestant]. Your wife.
And then, of course, we've become so close,
this group, so I included all of us too.
Here's Atle, Olli, NAV [Norwegian welfare administration],
because you might need NAV when you...
And butter chicken, since you love that.
So you can order butter chicken, and you can call 113 [ambulance].
That's fantastic! - Yes, lovely.
Very good. Else. - Yes.
There's a present here which is for a person that I know...
This is too silly. Who I know might like it.
I don't need to tell you who it's for.
You do the math. This is...
"GIFT VOUCHER APOLLO HAIR CENTRE Specialists in hair loss, with hair centres near you"
For him? - Thank you very much.
How much is it for?
How much do you think you need?
We'll talk about it later. - Yes.
Wonderful.
Aksel, what did you bring that a contestant would like to win?
I've brought something for a girl I've grown very fond of, Tara Lina.
Oh, thank you. I love you, Bjarte. - And Tara Lina has said...
...in a lot of programmes that she's single and dating.
But there's another piece of information
that I think makes it a bit difficult for you to get a boyfriend.
It's that you're forcing men you bring home with you to watch 'Uno' [his movie].
Because you want to watch me.
So I brought a date night box.
A date night kit for Tara Lina.
What's in a date night kit that I've brought for Tara Lina?
Of course, it's me.
For example, you can use Bjarte.
That's really creepy. That's really scary.
Instead of you sitting with a guy and watching me,
you can sit looking at that guy and watch me.
And then there's also Uno cards. - I have those.
You can have double, because he needs it too.
Thank you so much, Aksel.
My pleasure. Basically, a date with me.
Thank you so much.
We're not done yet. Erik, you also have...
I've brought a gift.
I also chose our wonderful Bjarte.
I know there's one thing that's still a bit sore for you.
That you had to quit NRK.
Oh, yes.
I found out that he had worked there for over 24 years, almost 25 years.
And when you pass 25 years at NRK,
you get something all NRK people love.
It's the symbol of working there for a long time: the watch.
So I went to the office of the Director General of NRK.
Let's watch it. - Oh, wow.
Dear Bjarte, it was a shame that you quit NRK
just before the 25 year mark.
Because then you missed the solemn ceremony
where you would have received the '25-year watch' for your loyal service.
And then, unfortunately, NRK is very concerned about following rules.
It was only a couple of weeks away, so I asked,
"Please, dear Director General. Just this once. Everyone loves Bjarte."
Let's watch what happened.
We know you're very fond of NRK, and that fondness is mutual.
That's why I've asked Erik Solbakken to hand over the watch to you.
Thank you so much for your tenacity and amazing effort
over 25 years of service for NRK.
Wow. Wow!
Fantastic! - Bjarte Tjøstheim!
Very nice. - That was so nice of you.
I give 5 points to Erik Solbakken.
Congratulations. Fantastic. - That was unbelievable.
There's a lot of good stuff. - A lot of good stuff.
Are you ready to score?
Today, you've made it very difficult.
Today, nobody will sink down.
Nobody's going down on...
Let's remind ourselves that they don't get the things.
One person will win all of it.
Let's remember that.
There's no guarantee you'll get that watch.
You've done really well. It's so heartwarming and...
What is it, Else?
I can take the lowest score. Give me 1 point.
I'll take 1 point too. If I get... - I refuse to give away 1 point.
But I'll give you 3 points. - Who's "you"?
Well, it's Else and Bjarte.
And you and Aksel actually get 4 points.
But the gold watch has to win. - Yes.
Olli, you have a caravan that gets far too little attention.
Shall we do something about that? - Yes, why don't we?
How about a task that is almost exclusively about that caravan?
I think that would be a really nice gesture to the caravan.
Then we'll do that.
Hey, favourite. - Hey.
It's a little embarrassing going down stairs. I don't know how to...
What to do with my body. Hi.
But I guess you don't care.
Hello.
Press the button first?
It's up to you. Go ahead.
"Bring the little caravan into the big caravan."
"The fastest wins."
"Don't forget to also bring the medium-sized caravan"
"that is in the living room."
"Your time started when you pressed the button the first time,"
"and it stops when all the caravans are in the big caravan,"
"and you say 'caravan' in British English."
I'll read that letter first. - Oi.
"Press the button to start the task."
"Olli stops the time when the task is completed."
You pressed it right away? - Yes.
Oh my God! Was that the task?
No, the time is running... - What's the task then?
"...the medium-sized caravan that is in the living room. Your time..."
Well, well, well. - There's a lot going on here, Olli.
It looks pretty simple, but it's also a bit complicated.
Please spell it out for us.
It's clearly stated in the task.
When they press the button in the office,
the task is read on a speaker in the caravan.
The task you have solved, or have not solved,
is to bring the little caravan that is in the office,
and the slightly larger caravan that is in the living room,
down into the caravan in the garden.
And then there's a little twist at the end.
Yes.
Where do we start? - Let's start with three of them.
Three of them is nice. - Let's see which three it is.
That sounds neat.
What is the task?
Take this round a hundred times. Is that it?
There's a caravan there. Maybe we're going out in the caravan.
There's some noise here.
I heard...
"...the little caravan into the big caravan."
"The fastest wins."
"Don't forget to also bring the medium-sized caravan..."
It's a campervan. Caravan.
I'm so stupid. Oh, I'm so stupid.
"The little caravan..." - Bring the little caravan into the big one?
Yes.
Right. Oh my god. You could have told me.
I heard...
"...the little caravan into the big caravan."
Yes, there you go.
"Don't forget to also bring the medium-sized..."
There.
But wasn't there one more thing you said?
"Don't forget to also bring the medium-sized caravan..."
Don't fall on the stairs.
Careful on the stairs.
"Don't forget to also bring"
"the medium-sized caravan that is in the living room."
"Your time started when you pressed the button the first time,"
"and it stops when you say 'caravan' in British English."
'Caravan' in British English, what is that? [Norwegian: 'campingvogn' = 'camping wagon']
Cabin wagon.
Camping wag... Camper wagon.
Caymping waygon.
Trailer park.
Cabin... No, like...
"Bring the little..." - Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yes, alright. Yes.
It's a caravan.
"Don't forget to also bring..." - Yes! I told you already.
RV.
Road wagon.
House car on wheels.
Camper!
Camper. I don't fucking know.
Bed on wheels.
Trailer park wagon.
Caravan.
You like the old-fashioned way?
I do.
Let's see here. ['Norwegian-English dictionary']
Caravan. Thank you.
How are you feeling? - Terrible.
What are the numbers so far? - Yes, let's see.
Bjarte was the fastest, actually. 5 minutes and 15 seconds.
A bit behind, but not by much, 8 minutes and 48 seconds, Aksel.
Else, quite a bit behind that, 11 minutes.
Oh, that's really good. - Yes, that's really good.
But like you've said, there are two left. - Yes, there are two left.
Do you remember who? - No, not a chance.
I can hardly remember who's participating.
Okay. Let's have a look at the last two.
The task is a bit vague.
Should I move? Is that... - Well, that's...
Cut it out. I don't understand anything.
The task has started. - I'm going to have a br...
Yes, I get that, but I'm having a little breakdown here.
Can you respect that?
Surfing day. I'm going surfing.
I think I'm going to the caravan.
I have to wear all the hats.
Done?
"...in the living room." - What's wrong?
I have to get the other caravan.
Ugh, I should have brought it right away.
What is this silly thing? There it is.
No?
I'm going down to the caravan.
Yes, I hear something.
There you go. - Thank you.
Oh my god. I'm very unfit.
"Don't forget to also bring the medium-sized caravan that is in the living room."
Haven't you stopped it? - No.
For fuck's sake, Olli.
You'll have to run then.
"And it stops when all the caravans are in the big caravan"
"and you say 'caravan' in British English."
Camping wagon.
Look at this. Here it comes.
"...and you say 'caravan' in British English."
Caravan.
Camping car.
What is 'caravan' in English?
Is this where it ends?
I'm standing here with three hats on, and I don't know 'caravan' in English.
Does it say 'caravan' somewhere?
I don't know what 'caravan' is in English.
I've never needed it. I don't need to wear the hats either.
Hey, what is 'caravan' in English?
Caravan? - Thank you. Caravan.
I've stopped the time. - Yes.
Erik?
For a moment, you were the most confused man in Norway.
With three hats on your head.
I can see that it doesn't look good
when it was daylight at first, and then it got dark.
I don't think time was on my side.
Tara Lina, you paid attention in English class.
This was easy for you.
Yes, I grew up with a Roma [gypsy] family the first five years of my life.
With or in? - A mix.
I wasn't allowed to sleep inside the caravan, but I could sleep outside of it.
My favourite show is 'My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding' on TLC.
So 'caravan' is a frequently used word there.
And 'fat'.
You were good. - Yes, you solved it well,
but you're right behind Bjarte,
with 6 minutes and 57 seconds.
But at the bottom there's you, Erik,
with 28 minutes and 17 seconds.
That means 1 point for Erik,
2 points for Else, 3 points for Aksel,
4 points for Tara Lina, and 5 points for Bjarte.
And in total... - Let's take a look at the total.
Tara Lina! Oi oi oi.
But it's bloody close.
Let's take a commercial break. We'll be right back.
Isn't it time for some paper aeroplanes? - Yes.
It's always time for some paper aeroplanes.
I have a weakness for that. - Then let's take a look at a task.
A paper aeroplane task? - Yes.
Letter.
"Get a paper aeroplane through the ring."
"You have 10 minutes to prepare."
"The fastest to get a paper aeroplane through the ring after 10 minutes wins."
So I can prepare for 10 minutes?
And then the task starts in 10 minutes?
"Your time starts now."
"You cannot go inside the ring on the ground, or move the target ring."
That's fine. Okay.
That's high up. It's bloody high up.
It's high up. Yes, it's bloody high up.
But you have 10 minutes to prepare.
So it's possible for you to use your brain before your time starts.
Absolutely. 10 minutes to prepare, and then your time starts.
And whoever throws a paper aeroplane through the ring the fastest wins.
In this task, is there something in particular you'll be focusing on?
What will you be looking for?
I think it's important that they follow the rules.
The rules are what I'm focusing on.
What rules? - Not to go inside the ring.
And then paper aeroplanes should look like paper aeroplanes.
I'll be strict about that.
Good to know.
I think that's important.
That's what the letter says.
The rules are in the letter, and we should follow them.
I don't understand anything. - No, you didn't on that day either.
But let's look at it. - We'll let others look at it.
I think this will go smoothly.
I don't get it. Is it that hard to get a paper aeroplane through there?
Delete that footage.
Have you ever made a paper aeroplane?
No. I haven't done a lot of that stuff.
I sat very still as a child.
This is a paper aeroplane...
...isn't it?
That's not how we're supposed to do it.
Else will have messed this one up.
Put it on the table, fold. Maybe she doesn't do that.
But there's no realism here.
This seems like a futuristic project.
Isn't this a paper aeroplane? - Very good folding technique.
But...
Look at that.
What do you think?
It's not good enough. - That, on the other hand?
I just need to test it.
I feel like I should strengthen those planes a little.
I think it has to be an aeroplane.
If I had just wrapped something up...
...made a ball.
I'd be throwing a paper ball.
And it should have some visual resemblance. If not...
You could just crumple and throw it, and call it an aeroplane.
You know what?
What I just said there might be one of the most brilliant things I've ever said.
You'll have wings on those?
Five, four... one...
Yes. Yes!
Oh, shoot.
No!
Am I doing it wrong or...
Is it me or the plane that's the problem?
I think we've got a plane here.
There.
Three, two, one, go.
Sorry, don't film here.
Tortilla, spelt.
I once threw a lompe. [potato flat bread]
Yes!
Done.
Yes.
Not allowed to walk across the ring?
"You can't go inside the ring."
Not go inside the ring... - I stopped the time.
Like this.
There you go.
I threw one for each of you.
You're welcome, Else.
Holy smokes. This might be the peak of your smugness, Aksel.
To the detriment of the others, you're really good too.
And then it's okay to be a bit smug, isn't it?
What do you think, Else?
Is it good or bad that he sent one for you too?
I just... I'll just thank...
I'm very glad I'm not having children.
We can't breed such bad genes.
I'm a little fascinated... - I had thrown lompes.
You had thrown lompes.
I'm a little fascinated by your childhood.
You've never had anything to do with paper aeroplanes, ever.
But you threw lompes?
In Jessheim? [her home town]
What are you guys doing up there?
Go home and throw a lompe, see how much fun it is.
That's the worst thing I've ever seen on TV.
And a bad mood as well.
Tara Lina! - Else in a bad mood?
That's right, you have to at least be in a good mood.
Just a little smile. - That's good.
Erik?
I can't believe you actually said it's important that it looks like a plane,
and then you make a ball.
But I slapped a couple of wings on it, so I was good.
I felt a sense of relief because
I've been disqualified so many times.
But honestly, let's make it easy for ourselves
by just saying you're disqualified right away.
And then we're done with it.
Yes, you're right, that's simpler for me, as well.
Get it out of the way.
Zero points again, isn't it? - Zero, yes.
Disqualifications are zero points.
And I'm disqualified? - You're disqualified, yes.
Olli, it's time for some times. - Yes, it's time for some times.
And since Aksel said that he was throwing for everybody...
Yes, he said that. - So should everyone get 1 point?
Yes, they should. - Thank you so much, Aksel.
Then they must get 1 point.
I can't accept anything today.
I'll accept it. - Everyone gets an extra point.
Thank you.
You're disqualified, but you each get 1 point.
Yes, I'll take that.
Tara Lina, you used 5 minutes and 16 seconds.
That's 3 points, but you get 4.
Bjarte, you used 1.5 seconds more than Aksel.
You were supposed to get 4, but you get 5 points.
The same as Aksel, who gets 5 points.
Now we're going to talk a little bit about science.
Science is interesting, of course, but it can be quite dry.
Especially if you mix science with rusk.
What does that make it? - That makes it bone dry.
Yes, that's it.
Okay.
"Prove Atle's claim that rusk is the building block of the universe."
"Most convincing evidence in 30 minutes wins."
Damn, what an idiot.
Atle claims that rusk is the building block of the universe?
I thought that was proteins.
Proteins are the building blocks of the body [rhymes in Norwegian],
but not the universe.
To show that anything can be built from rusk,
I'd want to build one of those...
Don't fall asleep now. - Fall asleep?
You have a sleeping face.
I'll go get some stuff.
That's an interesting claim.
It's interesting. But it's just a claim, after all.
It's not necessarily the truth, but it could be.
It's impossible to know for sure.
There's a lot we don't know about the universe. Why not rusk?
Where do you want to start? - I'm excited about what Aksel is getting,
but I think we should see them all at once.
All at once? Alright, let's watch.
Prove that everything is rusk?
You're rusk. I am rusk.
The earth is rusk.
Now I have to crush the rusk.
This is like a vineyard from hell.
Look at me.
Look me in the eye when I'm picking rusk.
This is actually going to be very exciting.
It would be so much fun if it worked.
Then we'll put the rusk there,
and then it's important to cover it.
What? What are you...
If I had used a bit less water,
I could make the most insane constructions.
I can still make something.
I'm trying to make Atle and get his features across.
He's a serious, level-headed guy.
I'm happy with that.
What's in the ground here?
Dirt.
What is this? - It's just a bunch of rusk.
There's rusk coming out of a hole.
Is it rusk? - It's rusk.
Is rusk the building block of the universe?
Fits perfectly.
This, ladies and gentlemen, is the rusk
that can take the weight of a good 70 kilos.
Oh, yeah. You can count on the rusk.
The building blocks of the universe come from the Big Bang,
so if we can pull off some kind of big bang.
That wasn't as successful as I had imagined in my head,
but here we are witnessing the creation of the universe.
The universe catching fire? - Yes, the universe catching fire.
There's a dark hallway here.
I'm going in.
Into some kind of shaft.
What are we looking for, specifically?
Did you say the building block of the universe?
Here's a box.
I think I found it.
The building block of the universe.
You can take the Lambertseter kid out of Hollywood,
but you can't take Hollywood out of the Lambertseter kid.
Scientifically speaking, you didn't prove anything, but it's enough for me.
I'm being completely duped. Beautiful job.
But you've added the effects and stuff to Aksel's clip, right?
Yes, what do you think we should've added...
The rest of us got Benny Hill music.
What kind of music do you think your one Buffalo shoe should have?
I was thinking more... Spice Girls?
We couldn't find anything that fit perfectly.
And some dope effects. "Have you seen the latest in..."
Yes, it's probably just the music that decided it.
You won't get anywhere with that.
That's a shame.
But I'm looking at the clock.
It's time for commercials. Be right back.
Do you have any... You're the judge.
I may have implied that I have a few favourites.
Yes, you have.
Can't you say that no-one will get 1 point? That we start at 3?
No. I remember doing that once, but we won't do that this time.
Here, it's very tempting to give several 1-pointers.
I now have a new goal in life, trying to beat Solbakken's Buffalo.
Else, you're not one of them. You definitely beat the Buffalo shoes.
What? But I worked with science. I built...
I can't deal with this, just disqualify me instead.
I'm trying to think of a reason to disqualify you,
but unfortunately you've stuck to the rules.
So you only get 1 point. Unfortunately. I'd love to give you zero.
Now I'm getting cross.
I'm very excited about Else, because when Else has problems...
Digging... - Shut up and take your point.
You only get 1 point, as well.
There's only 1 point for each of you. - Okay.
There's no way you get more than 1 point.
Yes, ladies?
Are you going to say something now, before you get a pretty good score?
Well, Aksel and I have a surprise.
I was wearing my Aksel mask, and Aksel was wearing...
That's good. - 5 points?
What have you given them now?
I've only given two 1-pointers. - Right. Bjarte and Erik have 1 point?
Yes, they have 1 point.
It won't be a massive score for you girls either.
But I'll give you both 3 points. - Thank you very much.
And then it's 5 points for Aksel.
Let's have a look at the total scores.
Oh, it's surprisingly close.
At least three of you are doing very well.
And now you know what's happening.
I can see it in your expectant faces.
You're a nice little bunch.
It's time for the studio task!
Welcome to the final task of today's episode.
You're about to take part in a silent disco.
You will soon put on your headphones
and hear some lovely beats, catchy music.
You will dance your heart out to the song you hear.
But one of you won't hear any music and will have to pretend.
Atle will guess who's pretending. If he's right, you're out.
If not, we move on to the next round.
You can put your headphones on, and I'll take one of you out.
I think we'll just start there.
And we start... now.
I can't.
Yeah.
I'll stop the music. - If I am to suggest...
Either Tara Lina is a genius, or she didn't have music.
I'm guessing the latter. - You're going with Tara Lina?
Tara Lina, did you have music? - Yes, I had music.
See, I knew it. She's a genius.
It wasn't a tactic. I never dance. I've never danced for anyone.
You haven't?
I can reveal that Else didn't have any music.
I've got voices in my head!
I'll take one out.
And I start... now.
I'll stop them there.
What is going on?
This is torture.
I never thought... But this is where I hit the wall.
It can't be Else. She must have had music.
This can't be coming from her own head.
Tara Lina didn't do much dancing.
Tara Lina?
There was nothing to dance to.
I didn't have the sound on.
Then you're out. - You got it.
Next round. Here's the song.
Do we have to?
No, I won't dance to that, actually. I'm not doing it. Never.
I can't even handle the thought of it.
I feel like that's enough.
Yes.
Who do you think this time?
It must be 'The Man on the Moon'.
Bjarte, you couldn't have had music.
Yes, I did!
Well done.
You fooled me.
Then we'll take out... And we'll start there.
Can I make a guess now? - Yes, you can.
Yes. Else. - Yes, that's right. Else is out.
Did you get that? - Apparently. Finally.
Oh my.
Then we'll take one out, and we'll start there.
Alright, we'll stop.
It has to be Bjarte at some point.
Then it's the final. This round decides.
If whoever has no sound can fool Atle, that person wins.
Oh my. - We'll take one of you out.
We'll start there.
Come on.
It's...
It's a man who just...
Have you made up your mind, Atle? - Yeah.
Well, which one? - Of course, Aksel.
Aksel that has no sound? - Yes.
That means Erik...
Fantastic effort.
Lots of great dancers.
Olli, would you sum up the results?
I can do that. I think some of you found dancing a little bit awkward.
We can start with the one who went out first, Tara Lina,
then Else, then Bjarte, Aksel, and Erik with 5 points.
Let's have a look.
It's very exciting to see who wins today's show.
It's Aksel Hennie who gets the win. Congratulations.
I hope you're pleased with the items in today's pot.
This is what it looks like with only two episodes left.
The most important thing you can learn from today's episode
is how to say 'caravan' in English.
You never know when you might need it.
See you soon. Take care.
