"Are you wearing a dog collar?"
Welcome to Kongen Befaler which is in its 11th season,
which means we've made 107 regular episodes, six specials,
which, in total, means 565 tasks. And we're still not tired!
No. We can't wait to show you what we've made. Right, Mr. Olli Wermskog?
Yes, that's right.
Hey, hey, hey. Yes.
By my calculations, it sounds just right.
After today's episode, we'll have 108 regular episodes.
There are still six specials, meaning a total of 570 tasks.
We're not sick of it, and we get it now.
How many times has the prize for the season's winner been unveiled?
That will be 113 times. - Shall we make it 114, then?
A bust in gold of me!
And the gang that has solved 35 tasks so far is...
Snorre Monsson,
Amalie Stuve,
Anne Marit Jacobsen,
Abu Hussain,
and Alex Rosén!
Yes, we're at the prize task.
I asked you to bring something you thought you'd use a lot,
but which is completely useless.
You all probably have something like this at home. It could be anything.
Who would you like to start with? - Let's start with Amalie.
What did you bring that you thought you'd use a lot?
I brought...
Caps.
Yeah. You might not have noticed, but I don't have that much strit...
Street cred.
"Strit cred?" - "Strit cred."
Good!
Yeah.
To give an example: I thought "badass" was pronounced "ba-dass"
way too long.
So,"badass"? - "Ba-dass", yes.
I've bought a lot of caps over the years.
It started in middle school. I wanted to be cooler.
I started buying caps. The problem is that I have a very small head.
That one, for example. Can't get any cooler.
A bit big. - I could try it on you, for example.
Yeah. - Lovely. Beautiful.
Alex! - Yes, that's me.
What did you bring that you thought you'd use a lot?
Oh, that one.
I couldn't tell what it was.
I love the short-term memory of Alex.
I'm a rock star, really. I was in a rock band.
At that time, I always wore black pants, leopard print pants, or gold pants.
And I wore a tight top made of lino...
Or vinyl, or whatever it's called...
You thought you were hot. - I was hot in my own mind.
But after eight or ten songs, something had to happen.
So, I ripped off my clothes, and I always ended up in this.
I thought I'd wear it a lot more. It's my jockstrap.
With spikes. - Yes.
It was... Look.
It's too close. - Abu.
Do you want to feel it? - No, no.
I can smell it. - You smell it?
I always ended up in this one.
I found out earlier you can split it at the back. I didn't know that then.
Everything was in-between. When you'd been on tour for two months
and started singing high C notes,
you might have loose bowels. You'd get a spray can effect at the back.
It had a really negative impact. - I can imagine.
Behind me, the drummer got it.
He chased me and wanted to beat me up.
But here it is.
It is...
Oh my god! Rock and roll!
What wouldn't you do for rock and roll?
There are lots of spikes here. They're rusty on the inside.
Which suggests that, in a way, you haven't quite solved the task.
It's a damn good story, but you've used it quite a bit.
I can't wear it anymore. That's the point.
I would love to wear it every day.
You've worn it for years, but not for enough years? I see.
I haven't worn it since 1993. - Okay, that's fine.
Moving on to you, Anne Marit.
Now it's my turn to make an ass of myself.
Not that Alex did that. - No.
Yes.
Got it? - Yes.
I have a cabin in Sweden. Bohuslän, yes.
The number on my house is three. - The house in Sweden is number three?
My neighbour has a nice sign that says 'four'. He has that number.
And I wanted to have the exact same sign as him that says 'three'.
So, I started trying to figure it out.
First, I bought... Can you see it? - Yes.
I thought it was too small. I bought a black one that I forgot in Oslo.
Then I drove back to Sweden and bought that one.
I forgot that I had bought that one. Then it turned out I actually
had that one in my car after all. Then I had forgotten I had that one.
Then I got one that was slightly bigger.
I was thinking of putting all of them on my wall.
So, then I'm living in number...
Three hundred and thirty-three million, three thousand three...
You won't be surprised by how many points you'll get for this task?
A couple of million, or something like that?
We'll see.
Three! - It could be. We haven't decided yet.
Abu! You usually get three. That spot might be taken. We'll have to see.
I'm really into gizmos, electrical things.
Gadgets, you might call them.
I was online once, and I found this.
Wow! - What is that?
Alcometer. - Breathalyser?
No, this is an electric pump. - Really?
For inflating stuff. - Wow! Yes, that's...
That's what it does.
Or should do? - Yes. Inflate a football or bike...
Clever. - Really clever.
And I love electronic stuff.
The problem... I bought it, I was thrilled, it wasn't that expensive.
I don't own a football or bike or anything like that.
So, it's just been sitting at home. - That's starting at the wrong end.
So, I'm trying... "Okay, I'll buy a basketball." But I'm too lazy.
I think of riding a bike, but why would I do that?
This is just a souvenir now. - Thank you! Snorre?
What did you bring that you thought you'd use a lot?
Well, I work with a guy named Gaute. Gaute Berg Næss,
my dear friend and colleague.
His style of clothing is eccentric. He likes to show off with clothes.
Sometimes, I take too much inspiration from that
when I'm going clothes shopping.
And then I sometimes end up with things like this.
The problem is that my legs
aren't very "snakeskin boots-friendly".
It becomes very comical right away. Not very sassy, mainly funny.
You can't walk normally in them. - I wish I had a hat to go with them.
Can't you see how they match his hair? It's so cool.
You're on the ball there.
Yes, it's lovely.
This and that. - This and that!
We need to hand out some points.
The aforementioned 3-pointer is yours, Anne Marit.
Inevitable. It has to be 3. - Okay.
I'll give 1 for the caps, Amalie. - For that sad story?
I'm sorry, really. But so many other things were better.
If you had been the only one, I'd give you 5. Right?
My intentions are good, in a way.
The pump gets 2. I've given away the 3 points.
He's used it a lot. - No-one's worth 5. That's the issue.
I'll give you 4. And I'll give you 5 for the boots.
You were well paid. - Yes.
You were very well paid.
I've learned this much: It's too late to back out once you've started.
Love, Alex Rosén.
What are you wearing, Olli?
A shirt and suit. - I can tell.
I mean the task where contestants ask, "What are you wearing, Olli?"
The "What are you wearing, Olli?" task? We can take a look.
Olli?
Hello?
No Olli.
Nolli!
Yes.
"Olli is sitting in the room next door."
"You can't see him, but you must find out what he's wearing."
"You can ask him anything,"
"but he'll only answer using his new signal horn."
Okay.
"The task is over once you figure out Olli's outfit. You have 15 minutes."
"The quickest correct answer wins. Your time starts now."
Yes, you've dressed up, Olli.
It's very tempting to say that you've dressed up as an Olliphant!
But I won't. I'm way too good for that.
That's how you usually do it. I won't stoop so low.
Dressed as an elephant.
The contestants will guess what I'm wearing.
What you're wearing can only be answered by using your signal horn.
Now that we've summed up what we saw, we can start, with Amalie and Snorre.
Can 'yes' be one honk?
And can 'no' be five honks?
Yes.
If you're naked, honk three times.
Not naked.
Did you have to step into it?
Honk if you're dressed as an animal.
Are you a bear?
Are you a squirrel?
Elephant?
Are you a cat? Dog?
What animals do I know?
Elephant?
Yes!
Wow!
Holy shit.
That was really fast.
Why was it so easy, Snorre?
Because we made systems. We're very good kids, I gather.
We're very good and had systems. - You guessed from around 800 animals.
Elimination led to elephant without one guess,
except when you said elephant. Good. But there is more.
Absolutely. Three more contestants. It might not be as easy for them.
It might not be.
That gives me hope! - For the record, I can say
that Amalie, you took 2 minutes. And Snorre, you took 2 minutes 35 seconds.
Exciting! We'll see how well the others do within 15 minutes.
We'll run the last three.
Is one honk 'yes'? Two honks 'no'?
Are you wearing a suit?
Is it a woman's garment?
No. Then it's a man's.
Not that either? Huh?
What the fuck...
Are you wearing something exotic?
Are you wearing a saddle?
Are you wearing skates?
Is it covering the whole body?
Jockstrap?
African?
So, it's African.
What comes from Africa and covers the whole body?
Are you wearing a hat?
Mittens, goddammit!
Are you naked?
That's a shame.
I'm having a blackout, I think.
Is it an animal?
Is it a badger?
Is it an animal?
Okay. Is it... Oh, shit! African culture... Giraffe?
Is the animal from Africa?
Is it a buffalo?
Is it an animal's garment?
Are you wearing a chain... Coll... A dog's collar?
Hippo?
Is it a warthog?
How many animals are there in Africa?
Socks?
You're sitting there in your socks?
Yeah?
Giraffe?
Zebra?
Rhinoceros?
I've been through every animal in Africa.
Elephant?
Are you wearing an elephant suit?
Elephant?
Yes! Elephant!
I've been told that you're wearing socks?
I think I've come a long way.
No, I haven't? - Okay, that is your time up.
No!
Not socks!
That was a lot. You had to go through all the fauna of Africa,
before coming up with a relatively common animal: elephant.
There's a lot of animals there.
You started at the exotic end.
I don't know where I started. - At least you ended up with elephant.
Well done. - Thought you might want some numbers?
You'll get them. Let's start with... Shall we call it a joke?
Anne Marit, do you know what honks and never reaches the finish line?
Me. - Yes, that's you. That's right!
So, that means no points, I'm afraid.
But I'm not the one who honked. - That's right.
That doesn't get you any points. - But it was a bad joke.
Yeah. - We agree on that.
Then the other two, who almost got zero.
One answered correctly 20 seconds before the time limit.
The other one, 17 seconds before the time limit.
Yes. One of you was the fastest.
And that was Abu. - Okay.
Well done!
Time for some points. Amalie was the fastest. You get 5 points.
No points to Anne Marit. Alex 2, Abu 3, Snorre 4, and Amalie 5.
In total today, we can see that the scores are...
Wow! It's Snorre at the top again.
But nothing's been decided. It's time for commercials. See you soon.
We might as well move on to the next task, where you'll be waiting?
Yes, I'll be waiting. - Waiting and waiting. Lot of waiting.
Shall I get it started while I wait? - Yes, please.
"Olli's sitting in the lab waiting for you."
"Be the penultimate to arrive."
"You must have an excuse for being late."
"You must have an excuse that can be seen when you enter the lab."
"Bonus point for best excuse."
"The most delayed one gets no points. Your time starts now."
Not the one that comes last, but the one that comes second-to-last.
Here, I think we're dealing with three restless people. And Abu.
Why are people late, then?
Oh, I hate this.
Whoa!
Yuck. Oh!
It's the stuff that The Ash Lad found when he went to win over a princess.
[Askeladden - 'The Ash Lad' - is a Norwegian folk tale character]
A dead magpie and bowl fragments. [references to the folk tales]
This one is nice.
I'm guessing that I'm... Now...
I'm getting close to being the second most delayed.
Oh, my gosh!
"Olli's in the lab waiting for you. Be the penultimate to arrive."
Okay, fine.
God! Damn it.
I'm sorry!
That wasn't much. Why are you late?
You know Lysaker, right? I got pulled over there in a speed check.
It took a while. Okay, sorry. - No, it's fine.
Anne Marit, you barge into the lab almost before the task has begun.
That was quick! You don't like being late, I gather.
No, but it was believable, that excuse?
In and of itself, credible.
Don't bad-mouth me for no reason. - No! Here is the bad-mouthing.
Could you, visually, have done more
to make us understand why you were late, which was part of the task?
Yeah. - Yeah.
You took 1 minute and 36 seconds.
But I can't have understood the task. You must understand that.
We have understood that. - You must take that to heart.
I do. - Maybe the others were faster.
No, I don't think so. - No.
You might be right about that. - I don't think so either.
We'll wait in suspense and see.
Shall we see the last four? - Yes, let's.
Yeah.
What happened? - I fell flat, with my face in there.
What happened here?
I crashed on an electric scooter.
The worst part was that I mowed down two kids on the way.
Oh! - What time do you call this?
Sorry, but I found, I found. - What did you find?
What happened was I overslept a little.
Then there was no taxi. Then I found a little kid playing.
I took his scooter.
Was it tuned, the electric scooter?
How fast were you going?
70 [km per hour]. - 70?
It's hot in here. "But it's hotter in the fireplace."
Then maybe I can cook my magpie? "But I'm afraid it'll burst."
It's a good thing I brought my wicker string.
So, I used a scooter all the way here.
"I'm afraid it will spill grease." I'm glad I've got this bowl fragment
that I can hold underneath. Boom!
Is that why you were late? - Yeah. Found loads on the way.
Three people here took their time in order to be the second most delayed.
And then there's you, Alex. Maybe you don't like being late?
Yes. I'm always late. - You are?
You weren't the second most or the most delayed.
You were second fastest. - Second fastest?
You took 3 minutes 49 seconds. - But the excuse was very nice.
I stumbled headfirst into an animal.
It looked uncomfortable for both of you, really.
Snorre, where did you find all this stuff on the way to the house?
It's not real. It's like...
What?
Wow.
Are you saying you're not the Ash Lad either?
That's a shame. I believed it. - Right? I ruined the illusion.
It was very nice, anyway. - Yes.
Amalie took the shortest time out of the three of you.
You took 18 minutes 43 seconds.
Snorre predicted that Abu would take the longest.
That is correct.
Abu took 25 minutes. Snorre took 22, and is the second most delayed.
That's 5 points to you.
Then Abu gets zero points.
Then Anne Marit gets 2, Alex 3, Amalie 4, and Snorre 5.
And there's a bonus point. - I get 2 points?
I wasn't better than him, was I?
We'll rent a meeting room and go through this afterwards.
Let's do that. There's a bonus point for whoever has the best excuse.
That goes to you, Snorre. That's the best one.
The scores are in.
I'm done with regular white bread, Olli.
Okay. Gluten intolerant? - I'm just sick of normal white bread.
White bread for breakfast, dinner, supper. Sick of it!
I want groundbreaking, pioneering, record-breaking white bread.
Exactly. White bread records. I know where you're going.
Hi. This is where you live?
Yeah. - It's nice.
Can I read? - Can you read?
Can't I read this for myself?
"Set a... loff..."
What dialect is this? - It's from Strøkesdalen.
"Set a loffse jala luffsdan."
"Set an unofficial record with this white bread."
"Set the record within 20 minutes."
"The best record wins. Your time starts now."
Yes!
It's anybody's game here. Set a record with the white bread.
Anything!
Whoever sets the record that Atle thinks is the best wins.
Shall we just start somewhere? - A very good place to start.
Let that place be Anne Marit! We'll start with you. Let's do that.
It's quite violent, this thing.
So, this is a 'skvale'.
And this is a 'crazy eight'.
Are you making this up as you go along?
Ma... - No, no. Go ahead.
The crazy eight is like this. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven.
There it is. Sixtra, seventra, eight, ninetra, forty.
41, 42, 43. Peep. Hey.
That's a wrap.
Just so I know what you were doing... No. That's a wrap, then.
Good. - Okay.
We'll take a little breather. We'll be back right after this.
Here, I sense a need to understand the rules.
It's impossible for me to judge... - Don't worry about it.
I'll just have to believe that it's a record in something
with white bread. - It is.
Yeah. - Now...
We're gonna have to admit you soon.
You know what we'll do? We'll move on. Fast as hell, Olli. Come on!
Okay.
You know, the Guinness World Records,
those are just trite things they do that nobody really does.
It goes through.
I'll try and get the bread through the outhouse door.
Throwing white bread into a Norwegian outhouse.
It's an unofficial record attempt.
Want some? - No, I'm good.
I'm going to set an unofficial world record for 60 metres of white bread.
We'll set a world record for waving white bread.
White bread's awesome. How's the white bread doing?
Waving my dick in the wind
Right? Then you can stay here too.
Lost in the sauce once again
You'll get it all the way at the top.
It can hang there for the rest of the shows.
There might be birds... - Haven't thought of that.
Baguettes? - Small baguettes.
One, two... Let's say 3 metres.
It didn't work.
Didn't work.
Oops!
Here we go. - You finish by the hammock.
Ready, set, go!
Okay, it's going to the top.
White bread going sky-high.
Damn it, this is dope. Look at that white bread!
It's shouldn't go all the way up. It's supposed to wave. There!
Oh, look at that! World record for high white bread.
Nice! That was in time.
It's like peeing your pants and throwing your pants over.
I have to make it thinner.
What's up? - Sorry. That was so lame.
Almost.
Wow! The tempo is picking up.
It's just the frequency increasing.
Don't disturb me in the middle of the race.
The finish line! Want to know your time?
Yes. - 2 minutes 4 seconds.
Not bad.
New record. - The first race of its kind.
Holy shit, Abu. You really suck. Holy shit.
Why is 3 metres so important? - I don't know. 2 metres.
Done.
That was five white bread records. Who has got the best record?
Good question. I think it's a bit difficult.
The level wasn't that goddamn high.
First, the 5 points. It will cause fury.
You get 5 points for the madness, Anne Marit.
It was so spectacularly nutty, I'll just have to take your word for it.
It's some kind of record, and it'll probably be there for a long time.
Obviously.
The rest get 3 points. All you deserve.
5, and 3 for the rest.
That's fine. - Really good.
This is it. Then we can see the total scores so far...
Wow! That's a big gap.
That's a pretty solid lead, Snorre.
Can you smell it, Olli?
No, what do you mean? - It smells...
Studio task.
Let's get on stage!
It's time for the final task. We'll do reverse charades for teams.
One person will sit here. The others will stand in the square.
I'll whisper a word to the person sitting, who'll explain, using...
You can say, for example, "Move right arm up. Walk with your left foot."
No more. You can't say what I said.
The ones standing there will try to guess what they're doing. Got it?
Whoever's sitting there will be blindfolded.
So, you won't get a hint of what they're doing. Did you get that?
Yes. Well explained. - Thank you!
You're welcome. - Thank you!
Team 1, Alex and Amalie, come here. Amalie, you can take a seat.
Put a blindfold on. Alex, you can go to the square.
Yes. There it is on. You'll have two minutes per team.
The team with the most correct answers is the winner.
Okay! I'll whisper the first word. Then I'll start the time.
Okay. - Starting the time...
Okay...
Stand with your legs wide apart.
Arms out to the side.
Swing from side to side. What are you doing now?
Flying? - No.
Below you...
And it goes up and down, up and down. Oh... Whoa!
You have to guess, Alex.
Swimming? - No.
Legs wide. Arms to the side. Bend your knees a little.
You struggle to keep your balance. - Ski jumping?
No, come on! You... Oh...
Jumping? - No.
Skydiving? - No. Not in the air.
Stand with your arms to the side, sway side to side.
Bend your knees, got to keep your balance. You're going forwards.
Ski jumping? - No, pass.
Okay. Next word.
Yes. You're standing
with your legs hip-width apart.
Then, take your arms folded down between your legs.
Then, raise your arms up to one side and strike.
Golf? - Yes!
That's fine.
Okay! You're standing
with your hands above your head.
Throw yourself forwards, still with hands above your head.
Diving? - Yes!
Correct.
Okay! You know this.
Then you take... Damn it! - No.
Lift your arm up.
Then, gather your fingers and twist around.
["Changing a light bulb"]
And then you bring it back down.
Then bring it back up and twist again. What did you just do?
Changing light bulbs? - Yes!
That's right.
That's good! That's good!
Time's up. - Wow!
We got three!
Amalie! - Alex!
Yes. The three of you, come over here. Who will sit here?
The same goes for you now, once you've got that on.
What happened?
It's just that you look really funny.
I'll start the clock after I've said the words to you for an activity.
Here comes the word.
Two hands straight ahead.
Twist to the right and the left. Look to the right and the left. Look up.
["Driving a car"]
We're considering something?
Two hands, one maybe down, and then...
...turn to the left, your left hand to the left, or to the right.
You're sitting, too.
Are we waving? - No, you're hold...
You're holding something with both hands, twisting right and left.
Driving a car? - Yes, that's fine.
Fine. - Yeah. Quick, quick.
Here comes the next one.
["Sawing something"]
Pass!
That's okay!
You're using both hands.
["Chopping wood"]
And pull it up and knock it down.
Chop wood? - Yes. Go, go, go.
Quick, quick, quick. - Yeah, yeah.
Put your right hand to your cheek.
Then use your whole hand to... shine.
["Shaving"]
Yeah, you're using...
Bag? - No.
Go from your right ear to your left and all the way up to your nose...
Make-up off... - Pull it up and down to...
Is it shaving? - Yes, it actually is.
Your time's up. Yes.
You can just stop clapping because the score is 3-3.
3-3. That means we need to have a final round.
The winner is the team to guess the quickest.
Do you want to switch within the team?
Shall we do that? - I'll give it a try.
Okay!
Left hand forward!
Put your index finger and thumb together on your left hand.
Then take your right hand and make a fist.
And then put your right hand down hard on your left hand.
["Hammering in a nail"]
Yes. - Many times.
Oh, hammering! Hammering in a nail?
Yes, that's right. Hammering in a nail.
That's good. Okay, we can switch teams.
Yes. Move your hips around and around in circles,
while holding your arms out to the side. What are you doing now?
Dancing? - Yes, and no.
Jazz dance? - No!
Stand in one place with wide feet, wide legs.
Then move your hips in circles, back and forth.
["Hula-hooping"]
Oh... Making love?
No!
Okay, wait, wait! - Wait!
Yes, you bend down.
Grab... Hands out to the side. Grab.
Get back up. Then you move your arms...
Your left arm backwards, and right arm in front of your hips,
at the same time in a turn.
Then you start rolling your hips, round and round.
Sailing? - No!
Surfing? - No!
Windsurfing? - Oh my god!
I mean...
You've spent more time than the other team.
Hula hooping.
We have a winner. We'll go through the points in our seats.
It was surprisingly good fun. - Yes, it was fun.
Could you go through the scores? - It was 3-3.
It was about being the fastest in the final round. We already know it.
You took 1 minute 10 seconds.
It was Abu, Snorre, and Anne Marit. You won and get 5 points each.
Amalie and Alex get 2 points. Here are the scores after this task.
Yes! And in total, who will win today's show? Yes, it's...
It is, of course, Snorre Monsson. That was impressive, Snorre!
Come and get the prizes. Five useless things you won't have any use for.
As we can see here, it is...
Yes, it's Snorre in the lead before the penultimate episode next week.
Their white bread records should be in the Guinness World Records.
We'll be back next week with more things you haven't seen before.
Thank you for watching!
