- Good evening and welcome to Taskmaster.
- A new season with new tasks and new contestants.
- They will use their twisted minds to complete the tasks.
- See if you can find a better way to do it.
- The contestants will find out tonight how the others did.
- The five contestants are:
- X Factor host Sofie Linde.
- Stand-up comedian Melvin Kakooza.
- Stand-up comedian Thomas Warberg.
- Stand-up comedian Jacob Taarnhøj.
- Actress Stephania Potalivo.
- We're back. Mark you're here, too.
- Hi, Lasse. - Hi, Mark.
- Mark, what is it you do on the show? - I'm the assistant.
- Mark keeps score and reminds the contestants of the rules.
- Are you excited to be here?
- Yes, very much so.
- Nice to see that you've picked a spokesperson.
- Jacob has really been looking forward to this.
- Okay, so you've asked one person, and now you speak for all of them?
- Yes, Jacob is the spokesperson for the other three.
- What's new on the show this season?
- The contestants are new. You have a new house.
- The tasks are new. - And what are they playing for?
- They are playing for an item brought in by one of the contestants.
- Yes, something they can't live without, for extra motivation.
- Who brought tonight's item? - Melvin Kakooza.
- What did you bring?
- When my mom gives a gift, it comes with a long speech about taking good care of it.
- When it comes to gifts, My mom is... let's say inventive.
- Your mom is here tonight. - Yes, she's right there.
- She said: "If you lose this one, I'm never buying you another gift."
- So all future presents are on the line. - Yes, they are.
- What is the present?
- An traditional African garment.
- My mom bought it in Uganda.
- So, best of luck winning this present and all future presents from Melvin's mom.
- We also have a prize for the best overall score in all seven shows.
- This gold-plated trophy of my face including glasses.
- Those are the prizes, let's get started, Mark.
- Right.
- What do I usually call you? - A genius?
- No, the light thing. - The light of my life?
- That's a horrible setup for the task. Here it is.
- Ah, fire.
- It's exciting. A world of possibilities.
- Blow out the candle from the greatest distance. - The person furthest away from the candle wins.
- The candle may not be relit. - You have 20 minutes. Your time starts now.
- Blowing out the candle ...
- Does it say to blow it out? Yes.
- Can I move it?
- But it might go out.
- How far can you blow? - Quite far. I give a good blow.
- A simple task to start. Spell out the rules, just to be clear.
- The person furthest away from the candle when it is blown out wins.
- And you can't relight it.
- Sounds simple. But seemed an almost philosophical quandary for Jacob.
- "What is a candle? What is a blow?" - I'm still pondering to this day.
- Does everyone know what a blow is? - Let's see Stephania and Warberg.
- I didn't say anything. - I just think a blow can be many things.
- Okay, can you feel this?
- No, but I can smell it a bit. - It's meatballs.
- I need some sort of tube.
- Must it be blown out? "Blow out the candle."
- Can I just ask why you did that? - I was considering using saliva.
- Blowing saliva. - Yeah, okay.
- This is the same thing.
- Mark, please come out here.
- Don't do this at home.
- It's for your own good. - Right.
- That works.
- I just got light-headed. - Oh, wow.
- "You must be excited for season 2, Mark." Yes. Very.
- How much time? - Two minutes left.
- I'm gonna do it now. Now, Mark!
- Okay, Mark. Ready? - Sort of.
- Almost got it.
- Can I blow? - It's blow time!
- The candle is out, Thomas Warberg!
- It went out! - Well, yes.
- I never imagined this task would lead you to drool a man in the face from upstairs.
- And he liked it.
- It wasn't in the clip, but you said repeatedly "Some men would get turned on by this".
- Can I just speak for all men when I say: No.
- Warberg, why were you on the floor?
- Because I respect your wisdom, you'll see that the total length of my tube includes my throat and lungs.
- Not like Stephania who will be measured from the lips. Like a loser.
- I thought you would appreciate including the lungs.
- I like it. You get an extra 40 centimeters. Let's see some numbers.
- Stephania was 305 cm away, but was it a blow?
- Come off it!
- Yes, let's end this discussion. Disqualified. What about Warberg?
- Warberg was 10 m 62 cm away, including lungs.
- Who's next? - Next up, Jacob Taarnhøj ("Hightower")
- My expectations are towering.
- Where is the leaf blower?
- Waders. They can't blow.
- Using this arm, I can get further away.
- If I bring the candle here, it will go out.
- That's a wind that will blow out a candle.
- Plenty of time. Let's run some tests.
- This gives me distance. - Oh, so that's the plan.
- Jacob, Jacob, Jacob. First task failed. What are we gonna do with you?
- Yes, an unfortunate pattern is emerging already.
- My thinking was like Warberg with his lungs.
- If I could get the trade winds to blow it out,
- it should be measured from the Carribean.
- Which would get me to 6500 km.
- And I'm going for the win.
- So 6500 km and an extra arm. - Yes, of course.
- But you didn't blow out the candle.
- So you can join Stephania. Disqualified.
- Now we need some cheering up. - Let's see Sofie and Melvin.
- I've got an idea, Mark. - Sounds good, Melvin.
- If I blow air into your mouth, then you have my air.
- Bear with me now.
- I'm all ears right now.
- Then I move far away.
- But will I have to hold my breath?
- Or, I'll find a bag, blow air into it. Then you'll ...
- I'll find a bag.
- It doesn't say that it must be blown out by me.
- It just says blow out the candle.
- So I'm gonna drive away now.
- Then I'll call you, and you'll blow it out.
- This is my air.
- You count to 50, and I'll run away.
- 1, 2, 3, 4 ...
- 5, 6, 7, 8, 9.
- Can I have your number?
- What is that? - Danish pastry.
- But you're on a timer. - I just need your number.
- I don't even have my phone. - Go get it, Mark!
- Where's the pastry? - Just get your phone!
- 26, 27, 28, 29.
- I'll test it. - Wait a minute.
- What's he doing? - I have a call.
- No, please just pick up when I call.
- 41, 42, 43, 44
- This is Mark Le Fêvre - Hi Mark, this is Sofie Linde
- The Sofie Linde? - Yes, please pick up when I call.
- Look me in the eyes.
- Will you promise to pick up? - I promise.
- Ha! I'm off. - 8 minutes 45 seconds.
- 48, 49, 50!
- Oh, my god!
- You had one job
- I'll find a straw to blow air into your mouth.
- And then we'll do the same thing again.
- I should have just taken the shoreline road and kept going
- I've got to get as far away from that house as I can.
- Take a deep breath.
- Hold your breath, Mark!
- This is Mark Le Fêvre. - This is Sofie, please blow out the candle.
- The candle is blown out. - Great! Thank you.
- The winner is the person furthest away from the candle when it is blown out.
- It does say "Blow out the candle". But it doesn't say you have to do it.
- So it's okay to get someone else to do it.
- I'm realizing that now.
- But I lost 3 kg.
- You made that run twice, you're in great shape.
- I was so depressed when Mark hadn't blown out the candle.
- I've since apologized repeatedly.
- I approve your method, Sofie.
- They had 20 minutes. Har far did she get by car?
- She ended up 2.4 km from the house.
- So an average speed of 7.2 km/h
- Melvin, I enjoy it when Mark holds his breath until he almost faints.
- How far did Melvin get?
- 180 meters
- So what is the score after the first task of the season?
- 0 points for Stephania and Taarnhøj. Disqualified.
- 3 points for Warberg. 10.62 m.
- 4 points for Melvin, 180 m.
- 5 points for Sofie Linde, 2.4 km.
- Mark, I realize now that I haven't even asked you
- What have you been up to since season 1?
- I've prepared a book.
- "Things I've done since season 1 (in case Lasse asks)"
- And you just did. I've done many different things.
- Can I see it? - Yes.
- Oh, it's so nice.
- Let's look at the next task.
- Hey, hey, hey.
- I will read it later. - Really?
- Here's another task.
- Hi, Thomas - Hi, Mark
- What are you eating?
- Chewing gum. - Me too!
- I'm in a good mood today!
- What is this nonsense, Mark?
- Oooh, bubble wrap.
- Make the largest bubble.
- And pop it with your nose.
- You have 10 minutes. Your time starts now.
- The biggest bubble? And pop it with your nose?
- Do you pop? - Yes.
- I want to see the biggest air bubble. No matter the material.
- And pop it with your nose.
- Let's start with a duet. - Here's Stephania and Melvin.
- Think, Melvin. Think bubbles.
- Mark, have you got any chewing gum?
- Besides the gum in your mouth? - Oh, yes.
- What kind of gum is yours? I can't make bubbles with mine.
- Tastes like childhood.
- Ow, I have a cavity. - Oh dear.
- Shouldn't you go to a dentist? - Yeah, but I don't like it.
- I'll need your nose.
- No. - It just says "the nose", not "your nose".
- I can't.
- Stop pretending to be repulsed by me.
- It popped on the nose!
- How else would it go here?
- Congratulations! - Thanks!
- Melvin, why did you think a long-haired wig would help?
- I don't know.
- You know, you're chewing away, and then you see a cool wig.
- Nicely done. You both chose chewing gum.
- Stephania, I can't prove that your nose didn't pop it.
- Excuse me?
- I can't prove that your nose didn't pop it. So I'll allow it.
- There was a moment there where I thought I'd have to call security.
- Two contestants down. Let's see the rest.
- Next up is Mr. and Mrs. Crazy.
- I don't want to watch it.
- But the public does.
- I can hardly breathe.
- A big bubble. Let's check the kitchen.
- Soap bubbles.
- Maybe this Ajax cleaner is better for bubbles.
- Doesn't work at all.
- I don't know if this is mad or ingenious.
- Oh, there are balloons over here.
- I can put the gum on the balloon
- I need something sharp on my nose.
- That's it. - Got it.
- Okay, so that's an extra two minutes for me, right?
- Can't do that. - Yes, you can.
- I didn't touch it.
- 4 minutes 30 seconds. - Let me read the fine print.
- "If the assistant is a klutz, thou shalt get two minutes extra."
- It needs to be up my nose. - Yes, it needs to.
- It's quite an ordeal.
- How did I do it, Mark? - I don't really know.
- This is all one big bubble.
- Can you bite it?
- I wanna know, have you ever seen the rain?
- I don't know the rest of the song.
- Why the compass up your nose? - I don't know!
- You went through so many options. First gum, then helium gum.
- Then gum-covered helium balloon.
- Then a compass up the nose. Then tape around your head.
- At one point, it was a needle up my nose, but it went missing.
- So the compass seemed like a great idea.
- Is the needle back? - Haven't noticed it.
- That would explain your solutions to some of the later tasks.
- Taarnhøj, I have to address your knowledge of soap bubble ingredients.
- I have noticed that you often find cleaning supplies under sinks.
- I've rarely used them. But I remember using them to make bubbles as a child.
- And you start off with an Ajax cleaning liquid.
- As a kid, I would always start out using Ajax.
- Then something lemon-scented on top. That makes a strong bubble.
- Your bubble couldn't even withstand being measured.
- It was an incredibly large bubble. And you destroyed it.
- It's like Usain Bolt running the 100 meters, breaking the record.
- And then saying "Sorry, Usain, we missed that. Do it again."
- But the final bubble. I'm not even sure that's a whole bubble.
- It's more of a dome. - It's half a bubble.
- No, it's a whole bubble.
- It's like an iceberg. You can only see 10 % of it.
- So you need to add the 90 % to the bubble diameter.
- We're going with the half-bubble that was measured properly.
- Only Thomas Warberg to go. Is that because his solution was so brilliant?
- Alright, pop bubble with your nose.
- Rubber bands, fly swatter, do you have any condoms?
- No.
- The sound guy?
- Thanks. Condoms can get really big.
- Can you get a match to stick?
- You want fire on your nose? - Yes, if possible.
- This seems dangerous.
- I'll end up looking like you.
- Can you help? - It's a bit tricky.
- We're close.
- We're getting there. - It's about to burst.
- Did you see that?
- I was scared for a moment there.
- I owe you a condom.
- Genius.
- I remember from my childhood ...
- Congratulations, a good result.
- Hey, can every condom get that big?
- Your husband is not happy you asked that on national tv.
- I just thought, wow.
- Does he work here? Is it the same sound guy tonight?
- Mark, let's get some results.
- Jacob Taarnhøj: 1 point. Bubble volume 261 ccm.
- 2 points for you, Stephania. Bubble volume 513 ccm.
- 3 points for Melvin. 904 ccm.
- 4 points for Sofie Linde. 7986 ccm.
- 5 points for Thomas "Condom" Warberg. 9180 ccm.
- In the overall score, Sofie Linde is in the lead!
- Thank you, Mark Le Fêvre. What happens now?
- Are you ready for something dramatic?
- So, it would be a real shame if I said no? So let's see some action.
- Oh my god. It's a turtle. - It's a turtle.
- It's Peter.
- I don't like it.
- It's only Peter.
- Do you wanna read the task?
- Make an action movie starring this turtle.
- You have one hour. Most dramatic movie wins.
- Most dramatic movie wins.
- Your time starts now.
- Have you seen Inception? - Yes.
- This is basically just a test to see who dares kill it?
- Just me saying that is dramatic.
- Have we got a hammer?
- It's looking at me.
- I really don't like it.
- Mark, Kronborg. We're going to Kronborg Castle.
- Let me make this clear: It's my turtle. And no animals were harmed during filming.
- Right, Sofie? - Right, right.
- What I'm looking for in an action movie: Will it get me me on the edge of my seat?
- Literally, the closer to the edge, the better.
- You went to Kronborg Castle? - We did, but in a minute.
- First, a Sofie Linde movie.
- I have killed the turtle!
Mock Turtle Soup
- I was far away from my lumbar support, I'll give you that, Sofie.
- That was a great movie! Where did yout get the idea?
- I did some research: How close can you get to killing a turtle?
- And the answer was: Not very close. Unless you kill it.
- Then I thought let's make the turtle a cool bad guy.
- Then I thought, how about a nice day in Cucumber Land?
- Just one thing. The superhero is S. L. - Yes.
- The same name as the secret identity?
- No, it's Søren Laursen. - Ah, okay.
- You had me at the edge of my seat there.
- I loved the effects, the drama, the story.
- Please tell me they're all at this level.
- Jacob Taarnhøj.
- I was expecting a bit more from the edit.
- I feel like I was a lot better than that.
- What I was thinking was ... As I read the task ...
- The task said "Most dramatic movie wins." Nothing more dramatic than Hamlet.
- Why did you pick the dullest scenes from the play?
- All scenes in Hamlet are dull.
- I picked one with a sword fight. Action, right?
- I love that you made it on location. Even at Kronborg Castle.
- That was a total coincidence.
- Was it Kronborg Castle?
- Very impressive, but was it suspenseful and exciting?
- No, sorry, it was lacking somewhat. But it had many other great qualities.
- You sound like you don't mean it. But okay.
- Is it because of this facial expression? - Little bit.
- Mark, who's next? - Melvin.
- Tell us a bit about the two superheroes.
- Doctor Egg, who's played by Mark.
- Doctor Egg?
- It takes place in the 20th century. Tanks are strewn all over the place.
- Animals are larger. And we save a turtle from certain death.
- But the 20th century is the 1900's. It's in the past.
- Exactly.
- You're welcome, Denmark. Mark and I saved the turtle.
- Thank you, Melvin. Who's next? - Let's watch Warberg's.
FINISH
BWAAAAHP
The end.
- When you got the idea, did you think
- "Action movies, never better than in the silent movie era"?
- I too went for the 20th century.
- But not one line from Shakespeare!
- I thought I heard the famous Shakespeare line "Booo!"
- I believe it's from King Lear.
- Thank you, Thomas Warberg.
- There's one more movie to go.
- Now, did Stephania make an action movie or just spit in your face for 20 minutes?
- Help! I don't wanna die, Mark! We need Peter!
- Peter!
- Who's Peter!? - He's a bomb expert!
Bomb expert
- Peter!
- You know him. He's the turtle.
- Peter!
- Hurry up, turtle!
- I don't wanna die!
- Stephania!
- Jesus Christ!
- I am blown away!
- You made it exciting that the turtle was slow!
- How did you get the idea?
- I love to shout.
- And as an actor, it's nice to add some drama.
- So I just took that chance here.
- Can you use this professionally? - It's going straight in my showreel.
- To rank the five movies, please welcome Peter the turtle!
- Peter the turtle!
- That's not happening.
- Jacob Taarnhøj, 1 point.
- I was not gripped by the tale of the speedy tortoise in the olden days
- 2 points for you, Thomas Warberg.
- 3 points for Melvin.
- 4 points for the superheroine Sofie.
- And a clear winner, 5 points for Stephania.
- Please add up the scores and tell us who's in the lead?
- Sofie Linde on 13 points.
- Mark, another task.
- Task coming up.
- Look at this.
- It's like Romeo and Juliet.
- O, Romeo, Romeo. - You look great, Juliet.
- Thank you, Romeo, but we can never be together.
- This is what it must feel like to be the Queen.
Good morning, my people!
- It's a target of some sort.
- Interesting.
- What about all this flour?
- Should I read the task? - If you want.
- I do.
- Get the most flour on the target. You may not leave the balcony.
- So this is the balcony? So I'm staying here.
- Most flour on the target wins.
- You have 20 minutes. Your time starts now.
- Okay, this is gonna get messy.
- What am I gonna do with this? - No idea.
- It's pure flour.
- Mark, please list all of the objects on the balcony.
- 5 kg of flour, a teddy bear,
- herring, balloons and helium, funnel,
- spaghetti, darts, string,
- coconut, bread rolls, tortillas,
- cans of soda, tube, very small baskets, cutlery.
- Clearly, these are not the objects you'd want for this task.
- So they probably used different objects, right?
- Let's start with someone who used a lot of them.
- Jacob Taarnhøj.
- You could fill a balloon with flour and throw it.
- Let's try.
- It's gonna take more than that.
- These! They're pancakes.
- Do these count as flour?
- Goddammit!
- Sodas. What are they good for?
- Oh, of course. I'm an idiot.
- A few sprinkles.
- We've got socks!
- I will stuff this nice sock.
- You hit it! - Yes, of course.
- The new Boeing is ready.
- Ah, okay then.
- Close, but no cigar.
- Move away, Mark.
- Count me down. - 3, 2, 1.
- So much flour blowing onto the target.
- And also elsewhere.
- I'm going inside for hot cocoa and bread rolls.
- Right.
- Taarnhøj, you're part of the human race who put a man on the moon.
- That's not apparent from this clip.
- They didn't succeed at first either. It took a few attempts.
- How did he do?
- It was 4.777 kg of flour that ...
- missed the target.
- That's quite impressive.
- So 233 g hit the target. Mostly in the sock.
- 233 g, how much is that in layman's terms?
- I am of French heritage, so, maybe in croissants?
- 233 g that's 4.5 croissants.
- Let's see a some more attempts.
- I have three lined up.
- It doesn't say you can't move the target.
- Can you move it over here?
- Me? - Yes, I can't leave the balcony.
- Can you bring it closer?
- I'm gonna try different things, Mark. - Okay.
- Now that wasn't bad!
- I'm getting bolder.
- We'll keep going.
- I'm currently stuffing flour into a sock.
- Could you empty the sock?
- Look out.
- I don't need this.
- That was just as good.
- Done!
- Moving the target was pretty clever. - Yes.
- Could I have made you bring it up here? - Oh, yeah.
- You know what?
- I'd like you to bring it up here.
- It needs to lie flat.
- All right. My brain does work.
- You gotta admit, Jacob, you look at Melvin and Thomas
- And you think, hey, I should have done that.
- And then along comes Stephania.
- It's like if the Americans had just moved the Moon closer to the Earth.
- Then Neil Armstrong could have just walked over there.
- I realised just when it was too late that I could have done the same.
- It never crossed my mind.
- When I got that tube going, I thought this is great!
- The tube was great.
- Did any of you think "I'm winning this, easily"?
- We've only got Sofie left.
- Mark, could you come up here? - Yes.
- Hi, Sofie Linde. - Hi, sweetie.
- Can I get you to carry this flour down to the target?
- Yes, for 500 kroner.
- No! But I'll give you 250. - Deal.
- You're doing great, Mark. - I didn't spill any of it!
- Thanks, darling.
- I'm getting the money?
- There's money in this.
- It's worth 400 kroner. It's genuine silk thread.
- And as a bonus, you get this fish.
- Salmon is one of the smartest investments you can make.
- I really appreciate your help, Mark. That's why you got a little extra.
- Sofie, I'm so disappointed.
- In Mark.
- Where did you get the silk thread?
- It was on the table.
- So you used my stuff to pay Mark? - Yes.
- We've talked about this, Mark. Always get paid up front.
- Speaking of that, I have not been paid for season 1.
- My point exactly.
- Who got the most flour on the target?
- 1 point for Jacob and his 4.5 croissants.
- Melvin, you get 2 points for 67 croissants.
- 3 points for you, Thomas. You got 78 croissants.
- 4 points to Stephania.
- I felt so smart when I did it. And now I'm second.
- 97 croissants.
- But it was 98 croissants and 5 points for Sofie Linde.
- What has that done to the overall scores?
- Sofie Linde is in front
- But it's all to play for as we head into the final round.
- As always, the final task is live in the studio.
- The five contestants go head-to-head in the final, as we play "Finger or Sausage?"
- Melvin, tell us what you're wearing.
- It's easily missed, but I currently have sausages for fingers
- It's a hand sausage.
- What is the task?
- Could you read it, Stephania?
- Touch the person in front of you with a finger or a sausage. Gross.
- If they guess incorrectly, they're eliminated.
- Last person standing wins.
- Standard rules of "Finger or Sausage?"
- Mark, tell them what to do.
- Everyone turn to your left.
- Now, take turns touching the person using a finger or sausage.
- Then the person guesses finger or sausage.
- Let's demonstrate. You're Sofie, I'm Thomas.
- So we go first.
- Don't worry, I've brought my own sausage.
- Now I choose finger or sausage.
- Finger or sausage? - I'll guess sausage.
- You're right! You move on to the next round.
- But if your guess is wrong, you're eliminated.
- The first gets 1 point, then 2 points and so on.
- I've got this hair tie if you want to give me an updo.
- I'm being told that if this showbiz thing doesn't work out,
- there's a job for you as a barista.
- Let's go!
- That was sausage.
- No, that was finger!
- Sausage. - Correct!
- What?
- Finger or sausage?
- Finger. - Correct!
- Finger.
- No, it was finger.
- Sausage! - Correct!
- Was that it?
- I have that effect on people.
- Finger!
- Correct.
- That was sausage.
- It was finger.
- 2 points for Melvin.
- Finger.
- Sausage!
- We're down to two.
- That's a sausage!
- No!
- They're standing in order of the result of the final task.
- Who's the first episode winner in season 2?
- The winner of episode 1 is
- Sofie Linde!
- Collect your prize!
- The first episode of season 2 is over.
- Remember this rule of thumb:
- If it's not finger, it's probably sausage.
- Thank you and good night.
