Oh yeah.
Come on!
"I'm going for a thin waffle"
A warm welcome to season 12!
Twelve, guys! Here from Drammen Theatre.
This wondrous show that no-one leaves without a mark.
And one who never leaves the show,
despite his soul being full of scars, draining wounds, and dried scabies,
it's you, my favourite, Olli Wermskog.
Thank you. It's great to be back.
My soul still has a few untainted spots with no scars.
Joining us are five uncontaminated souls
ready to let go of their innocence once and for all...
Henrik Fladseth! [comedian and actor]
Ina Svenningdal. [actor]
Ole Henry Snildalsli. [comedian and podcaster]
Pernille Sørensen. [comedian, actor, screenwriter]
And Thomas Numme! [presenter, journalist, musician]
Yes.
And finally, the purest of them all:
a bust in gold of me.
Does anyone like points here? - Yes!
Does anyone like points here?! - Yes!
Thomas, do you like points?! - Of course, I love points!
Great. Say "I love points!" - I love points!
Good. We're about to begin our first prize task of the season.
The contestants will bring something in a category ordered by Atle,
and you'll be handing out points based on what you think is best.
The winner of today's show will take home all the prizes.
What have you asked them to bring today?
Today, I've asked you to bring your very best accessories.
Not bad. It could be all sorts of things.
Let's start with Henrik. Your very best accessories.
Thank you. Hi there. Hello to you at home.
I'm not a big shopping fan. Never have been, never will be.
I'm often late picking up what I need.
I premiered a stand-up show a little while ago.
That same day, I had to find outfits for it.
I was set for so called "casual" suit pants. Very set.
It's a race against time before this premiere.
I go to a few stores, but can't find any casual suit pants.
Then I get to a shop on Karl Johans Street in Oslo,
and there's one left of these stretchy casual suit pants.
I try them on.
They fit nicely at the waist, but they're too short. No, too long...
No, they're too short. - If it's those, they're too short.
I walk downcast towards the fitting room
and I'm thinking "This is it."
Then I hear the sales clerk say, "But wait a minute."
"I've got a pair of boots that are a bit high."
Master of additional sales.
"How much are they then?" "6,000 kroner." [£450 / US$600]
"What are you trying to tell me, best seller in the world over here?"
"That I should buy a 6,000 kroner pair of boots"
"to defend my pants purchase? Are you out of your mind?"
But... Yes!
I don't normally buy expensive clothes,
but these are accessories for the pants.
Accessories. - These I wear for these pants.
And it doesn't help! - It didn't make them longer.
And it doesn't help.
It's very rare that ankle boots help anything.
That was beautiful.
Ole Henry. - Right.
Do you wanna see mine? - Yeah, if you want to.
Wow. - Cooling bag.
No, that's not it. It's what's in here.
Best accompaniment, chilli bearnaise.
It's good, that one. - Awesome.
Is it good? - Yes. It works on everything.
That's it?
I've actually got... Aeoli's a good accompaniment as well.
Hollandaise sauce. A little bit of hummus is good.
Tzatziki. - Yes, right.
Caviar, but I'm not sure if it's an accompaniment.
Egg accompaniment. - It's a form of dressing, though.
You're going for quantity. - Yes.
Accessory bag. - Good quantity.
Ina. What are your best accessories in the world?
The best accessories...
At least in 2025, this is the best accessory.
Because it's a Labubu.
And the audience like it.
This might be the most expensive accessory I have for anything.
This is a Labubu. It's a doll.
You hang it on your handbag to show this off.
To show what off? - You're just gonna show it off.
How much are those then?
It's... I think it's...
It's like a thousand kroner! [£75 / US$100]
Really? A thousand kroner? - It's more than my handbag!
And I have it on my handbag. It must be the best accessory I have.
Awesome. I feel like it's a double-edged sword.
You're having second thoughts. - No. Absolutely not.
You've brought it as the best accessory, so it works.
Thanks for having me. - Thank you very much.
You've brought along a rig of some sort, Thomas.
I broke my ankle last year.
At the risk of seeming old,
I slipped on the ice. - Exactly.
And that's when I discovered something really amazing
at the mobility aids centre.
There they have a wheeled walker.
This worked so well for me.
When you're on crutches and you need something to hold on to...
It worked so well that I can't wait to get old.
Because when you can't walk and carry things, it's perfect.
Then you've got a TV dinner there, and then you've got the remote ready.
And then here... - It's just like my mother.
Rolling café. - There.
You've made it your home. - Look how professional that is.
Awesome. - It's sturdy.
It's very professional. - It's so practical.
It's so convenient. And now, I can serve...
Is that mine? - Yes.
If I lift it up, it might tip over. - It's okay.
There. - That's cold!
I'll hold off on the burger. - Yes. Thank you for having me.
Yum, yum. - It's nice. One more to go.
I haven't said I take bribes, but it's obvious.
Lovely. Pernille.
I found it hard to choose the best accessory,
because a woman has quite a lot of accessories: earrings, handbags...
At the same time, you should agree that it's the best.
I don't know if you appreciate a good handbag enough.
Maybe not enough.
That's why I thought,
"I'll bring my best winter accessories."
Which is the very best. It's a pair of yellow,
incredibly soft leather Hestra gloves.
They're Hestra gloves. I have the same.
You do?
I've got...
You've been...
I didn't know that. I really didn't.
Nothing to do with the fact that I've been in a cafe with Johan Golden [Atle's radio show co-host]
and been told that you have a yellow pair of Hestra gloves. Not at all.
Ready to hand out some points? - Yes.
Ina starts it off with 1 point. - Yes!
I've noticed that these are popular and have almost thrown up every time.
I'm not a big fan of the concept.
Good for you though. - Thank you.
I think Snildalsli's gonna get 2 points. Shooting a shotgun.
You should be happy with that.
I'm gonna give you 3 points for those Hestra gloves.
When I hear that Golden is involved, I'm very sceptical.
There's no doubt that those boots should get 5 points.
4 for you, Numme. 5 points for Henrik.
Oh, yeah!
It's time for the first task of the season from the house, Olli.
That could be called a premiere. - Definitely.
Then it's appropriate with a bit of bubbles in the glass.
A lot of bubbles in several glasses. - Sounds like plain sailing.
Yeah, plain sailing too. Plain sailing and bubbles.
Oh, no.
Now you're speaking my language, buddy.
Drinking!
Good sound effect. - Yeah.
"Pour the champagne from these glasses back into the bottle."
"The bottle is on the balcony."
"Most champagne in the bottle wins. You have 10 minutes. Your time starts now."
"You have 10 minutes. Your time starts now."
I'll just start to... Yeah, right.
There's nothing about the bottle staying on the balcony.
Fuck!
Super cool. Because it's stuck.
Yeah, I'll say.
The very first task of the season, and you've already given up.
I was just taking a little breather.
You thought, "Everything is just straightforward."
Yeah. - That wasn't a good idea.
Although pouring the contents of 10 glasses glued to a plank
back into a bottle glued to a balcony sounds easy,
it's not. - It isn't?
I choose to believe there's more to these people than you'd think.
Where do we start? - I want to see Ina right away.
Then we'll do Pernille and Thomas.
Damn it. My brain isn't working right now.
Let's hope it falls into the buckets, and I'll carry those buckets up.
I'm a bit stressed out now.
I can carry the plank.
Here, it's just a matter of taking my time.
My hands are starting to hurt already.
If I put a bucket here... Let's see if this works.
There we go. That's some champagne. How much time do I have left?
There.
Here comes the TV-moment.
Now it starts to spill in the back.
That's fine.
Oh, come on.
It's one glass.
Oops. Sorry.
Here we go.
I got some.
Done! - Just slowly on this corner.
Right. As soon as you pour one glass, you pour the others.
You have 23 seconds left. - I can't get anything to scoop with.
That's it! - Time's up.
My, oh my.
Here we go. - Here we go.
Pernille, good idea to take the whole plank with you,
but I wonder if you were missing something. Could it have been a plan?
It's too much work for too little.
It's too late up on the veranda to...
You just start, and deal with the problems as they occur?
When I discovered that the table top was loose, my brain went with it.
I thought, "Fortunately, I'm good at balancing things."
"I'm going to win this!"
You're an optimist, aren't you? Thomas, Ina.
The potential for improvement is through the roof.
What a fumble. - Wonder about the results?
Let's start with Ina. 0.04 litres back in the bottle.
But it's right behind Pernille: 0.08.
There you go! - Less than 0.1 litres on both.
But for balancing that up a flight of stairs, that's a lot.
I hear you saying that.
Right before you poured it, you had almost all.
We'll take note of that. - Thomas.
Not bad, 0.5 litres.
In this group, that's a lot.
There are opportunities here. - There are two more.
Reminds me more of a bad after-party than a premiere party.
We have two more planks. - Ole Henry and Henrik.
What's it called when proper thieves
steal petrol from other cars?
Siphon? - Siphon.
What the fuck do you do?
Isn't there asbestos and stuff in old pipes? I could die from this.
Gutter!
There. - What are you doing now?
I'm making a gadget. There, in.
Not a drop will go to waste.
Yes!
That's quite the waiter.
Oops.
Would you like some champagne?
That's nice! That's got to be good.
You have 10 seconds left. - I'll leave the rest in the gutter.
What? - I'll leave the rest in the gutter.
Good. Let's start with you, Henrik.
Was this a siphon? - Yes, isn't it?
Well, at a pinch, I'd call it a half siphon.
A half-on is what you had there.
The first part was right, but it had nowhere to go.
So it was a sucker, really.
It didn't taste that good? - No, but it was...
First of all, I rinsed the asbestos straw in the bird poop bath.
So I'm poisoned, and have salmonella, the full monty.
Ole Henry. The Vivaldi of the Plank-bearers.
Now I see what you mean by a plan. He actually had a plan.
He knew what to do when he got there. That's an advantage.
That was impressive. - The margins you operated on.
Gutters are amazing. - You seemed very pleased yourself.
It almost went from joy to pride.
Pride will often have a fall. Is that perhaps the case here?
Could pride have had a fall here? - Oh, yes.
Why did you leave some of the champagne in the gutter?
"I'll leave it." Then tap it a little, so it splashes.
No! - Could it have made any difference?
It could have. Let's see.
If you'd poured all of it, you'd have gotten 5 points.
But you only get 4. Henrik with his sucker wins. 1.2 litres.
Yes!
Very well deserved.
Thank you! - Wow!
Those are the points. Then we'll see the totals so far.
Look at this, there's a spread already.
Ina, you've got some work to do. - No.
Otherwise hidden in the middle.
It's a solid lead here, Henrik. We'll look into it more in a while.
The party will resume after a quick commercial break.
Olli, this is pretty amazing.
Did you know that a snowman is 95% water?
I thought it was 100.
No, 95% water. The rest is carrot, scarf, and rocks.
It should still be possible to get 100% of a snowman in a bottle.
Oh, for sure.
Right. Frosty the Snowman.
Whoa!
Guess? Get as much in as I can. - Melting some stuff?
"Put the most snowman in the bottle."
"Most snowman in the bottle in 10 minutes wins."
"Your time starts now."
Oh! The most snowman, melt... - I know what to do, Olli!
Get as much of the snowman in the bottle as possible in 10 minutes.
There are two ways to do it:
by processing it until it melts, and shaping it the way you want;
or by forcing it using knives, an axe, and brute force.
Which one do you want to start with? - Let's start with brute force.
Unsurprisingly, we'll see Henrik.
And a bit more surprisingly, Pernille. Let's have a look.
I'll take these first, then.
This is a snowman.
The simple stuff goes in first.
I'll start with the arms.
I'll take the hat first.
There's a chance not everybody's gonna think of that.
Simple often goes a long way.
I'll just start breaking up the snowman.
It won't be first place and it won't be last place.
Yes!
There's a nice chunk. Maybe I should...
Three... - Two, one.
Okay.
Two, one... There.
That was a little harder than I thought. Okay, bye!
Pernille, you break the arms first, then get the axe.
You seem to like it a little. - It was surprisingly fun.
Henrik, "Simple often goes a long way."
You go for a solution that's neither simple nor goes a long way.
It wasn't satisfying to cut up a snowman either.
It was much harder than you might think.
It was more of an ice man. - It was an ice man.
If it had been snow, it would have been easy.
They're judged on how much of the snowman they've bottled.
So far, we can say that Pernille is ahead of Henrik.
Let's put Pernille and Henrik behind us.
Now, we're going to the opposite of brute force.
Shall we look at Ina, Ole Henry, and Thomas?
Can I get a bucket? With hot water?
That's a fun sound. Okay. Here we go.
I'll start pouring a little bit.
Okay... Then I just need to get as much melted as possible.
Oh, yeah! Good.
There we go. Put the hat on.
Does this work?
Oh, shit!
Fuck, there's a fire here.
There!
Oh, really?
Now it's melting. I don't know how smart this was.
Salt. They sprinkle that on the roads in the winter.
Is it melting?
Yes.
It's gonna take a bit of time. I'll start with smaller pieces.
More hot water.
This is full of cold water, right?
So now I'll put these in the bucket with no water.
Then I'll put boiling water in here.
You've got 30 seconds left. - Holy crap.
There's a bit of water here.
I would have thought and hoped there would be more, I have to say.
10 seconds.
Three, two, one... Time's up.
Three... One. There.
Done. There's only that left? - That's all that's left. Bye.
That was impressive, Ina.
It wasn't like anyone said there should only be snowman in there.
It was pretty much all of it.
Good. Thomas, it doesn't look like you've made a lot of fires.
Looking at what you're doing... Keep up the good work.
Maybe stay away from that going forward.
We can say this much, nobody can take your high spirits from you.
I like that you're going for salt. It takes about 48 hours.
I thought it would just go. - The speed-walking of melting.
Hurry up. It's the opposite. Yes, Olli.
Should you give some results? - How do you want me to do it?
The usual way. Stick to the snowman scale.
Okay. Then I'll give them some points within that.
Thomas, last place. Not good at bottling snowmen.
Unbelievably. Henrik, you beat him. Bottled the snowman pretty good.
Pernille: Good at bottling snowmen.
Ole Henry: Very good at bottling snowmen.
Then Ina: Exceptionally good.
Yes.
Time to get a waffle. - Yeah, you want a waffle?
No, I want a waffle on the ceiling.
Right. Of course.
That's how it was.
Woah!
What's that smell? - Waffle.
If it's not a waffle, then... "Fry a waffle."
"Fry a waffle in the waffle iron. Biggest waffle wins."
"In the waffle iron." Where's that?
"Biggest waffle wins."
"The waffle iron can't be moved."
"You have 20 minutes. Your time starts now."
The waffle iron?
Then I'll find it first. I'll start with that.
The waffle iron isn't here.
Where is that waffle iron then?
I can't be hanging on the ceiling.
Fuck!
It can't be hanging on the ceiling?
You should have told me. I would've put it on the table!
That's the result. - Whose waffles do you want to see?
I want Ina, Pernille, and Henrik. - Alright.
If it's possible to paint on a waffle...
Thin waffle.
Stupid waffle.
This really makes me angry.
I think I've got a bit of an idea of how we're gonna do it now.
I'm making a trapping mechanism that will catch the batter.
That's brilliant!
Yes.
Let's have a look.
See if it's worked. Yeah.
This is really, really good.
Just... There we go!
It's taped!
I can feel that this is a good solution.
Couldn't cook any longer.
Look at her!
And flap. Look at that!
Okay. I'm happy.
I think I'm done. - So this is it?
That's it, yeah.
Right.
There's more where this came from, after a quick commercial break.
Ina. If the task had been to serve the most adorable waffle,
you would've won. - I've had waffles like that.
You know the last waffle that's this big?
Sure. We have no problem classifying it as a waffle.
But the task wasn't to make a waffle.
It was to make the biggest waffle.
So that's where the problem is. - Okay.
Do you think you're gonna win by making a regular waffle?
I thought it was so hard to get stuff in.
You were happy as long as it was a waffle.
There's no rule about how thick a waffle should be.
Not on this show. - I aimed at something 3D printy.
So I got a thin... How can the waffle get bigger than the iron itself?
We'll see.
Can you take any more? - At least two more.
That's perfect. Thomas and Ole Henry, bon appétit.
Is there a clever way to do this?
There can't be.
Can I have this?
There's a hole there, Olli.
Did I get any?
Woah.
Think, think, think...
I need a whistle or something.
Okay.
Wheat flour. There.
Get it so... That's it.
It's going to look great.
Oh, my god, it's pretty. Awesome.
Yes.
Then I'm going to glue it together.
It's actually beautiful. Look at that!
Now to weld and assemble it into a giant waffle.
Weld.
Wow.
It sticks together.
Yes.
You should be happy you're not being judged on appetising behaviour,
because it really wasn't.
I've never seen someone so happy with goo running down their cheek.
What a happy person. - You welded waffles together.
These good old welds... I did several.
The good old waffle welding method.
It was a big waffle, so the order has definitely been delivered.
There were several waffles. - But they were welded.
Into a unit.
Like an oil rig. They're assembled, aren't they?
And then it becomes one oil rig.
Has history taught me not to argue about this? Yes.
Too little history to have learned. - But I have to...
Thomas Edison of the ceiling waffle bakers here!
Yes. - Agreed.
You were good here, Thomas. - Lucky.
But what I'm really pleased about, it tasted good as well!
If I wanted a new foundation at home, I'd contact you.
That one waffle, that's a meal.
A hearty meal.
It was good? Was it cooked through? - Yes, it was good.
A bit soggy in the middle. - A bit like a salt dough.
Shall I go through? Ina, you're last, still.
Pernille, second last.
Then it's Henrik.
There's two at the top. They solved it differently.
One in width, and one in height. How...
I'd like to give the person who's expanded the waffle a 5-pointer.
I'll give it to you, Ole Henry. You went so far outside the box.
But you get 4 points, Thomas. - Thank you very much.
Here are the scores. We're gonna see where the totals are today.
It's evened out. It's joint first here now.
There's hope for most of you, I'd say.
It's time for the very first studio task of the season.
Up on the stage with you!
There will be towers built here on stage, done blindfolded.
In front of you lot are five boxes with different contents.
You'll each select one box.
Then you'll have two minutes to build the tallest tower
with the contents of the box. Of course, the boxes have been named.
The names are the different spices of the Spice Girls.
Wow. - Yeah.
Henrik, you can go first. Which Spice Girl do you want?
I'm not gonna go for Sporty Spice.
You're gonna go for... - I'm not going for Sporty Spice!
I can't take that.
Lazy Spice, then. - Lazy Spice?
That's not one. - What are they called, then?
You only remember Sporty. - Beckham's lady. Victoria Beckham.
Posh Spice. It suits my shoes. - You can come with me.
Now you're standing right in front of the table. Here's your box.
Ina, which Spice Girl do you choose?
Then I'll take Sporty Spice.
You can come over here. - Oh, my god.
There. Now you're in front of your box.
Pernille, which one are you going for?
Should I go with Scary? - Scary Spice.
Fine. Here I am. Come this way.
I'm uncomfortable. - But here I am, and there's the box.
There's the box!
There you go.
Thomas, which one do you want?
I'm gonna go for Baby Spice, hoping that they've thought,
"Baby, let's go for the easy out for the kids."
We'll see. You can put your hands out.
Here's your box. You can have a feel if you want.
Ole Henry, that leaves one, Ginger Spice.
Here you are at the box.
And the table's here.
Oh, hallo. - Alright.
Where are we building? - On the left side of the box.
You have two minutes. Your time starts...
Excuse me, I think... Oh, right. It's rollable!
I'm rolling. It sounds like you have something much easier.
La, la-la, la, la, la!
It's no big secret, Ina. - I think this is a little unfair.
I don't think so, Pernille. - It's impossible!
Okay...
Excuse me. Oh, there are things underneath.
There are things. - No, you know what?
Shit!
We're on a goddamn roll. - It's just...
This is impossible, Olli. - Is it impossible?
I'm glad I chose Scary. - Yeah, good.
Please... - Where is it?
Where's my tower? - It's...
Where's the tower?
It's gone. No!
Seven seconds left.
Five, four, three, two, one...
Okay. Then you can take off your blindfolds.
Whoa.
No!
Holy... That...
I'll go over them, and we'll sum up in our seats.
I mean...
Right.
That was a nice task to watch. - Thank you.
Can you confirm my razor-sharp gaze concerning heights here?
We can start from the bottom. Which one of you was that?
No, it was Ina. You were last, by a country mile, with 1 point.
She was the only one who got building blocks.
But I got the smallest ones I've ever felt!
I know.
2 points go to you, Ole Henry.
The oranges. Couldn't get any higher.
Thomas, logs. I gave you 3 points.
Pernille. I don't know what you had.
But I scored you 4 points. - I had slime.
And fortunately, two logs of wood that I could roll in slime.
But it failed to beat Henrik's cups.
5 points. Congratulations. The absolute highest tower.
Yeah. - We have the points here.
I won't get too cocky because I got lucky.
We'll see who's the winner of today's show. That's the most important.
It was you.
Henrik Fladseth wins first place of the day.
He continues life with the best of the best accessories.
Come up and accept your prizes.
Who would have thought that after one show in season 12,
we've taught you that a ladle is a better tool than a set of bellows,
when it comes to making waffles? We'll be back next time.
If you liked today's show, then you'll love the next one.
See you. - Bye!
