No hands!
It holds!
This is gonna be delicious!
Holy shit.
Good evening and a very warm welcome to Stormester.
The brewery of richness where all bottles contain imagination and plenty of fizz.
We are now quenching yours, but moreso my thirst for quirky solutions.
The brewmasters are called, again: Martin Johannes Larsen.
Eva Jin.
Sebastian Klein.
Julie Rudbæk.
And Simon Jul.
And there he sits. My lovely assistant.
The assistant of assistants, Mark Le Fêvre.
After all, Le Fêvre is French and means mole lover.
– No. – Anything new to report?
Slightly. I have a rather large responsibility here on the show.
Yes, your duties match your abilities.
Exactly.
I have made...
... this little thing.
I'm responsible for security at home.
You don't know this about the taskmaster.
You are a bit ... laissez faire about your valuables.
It's over now. Everything has been upgraded.
There are now keys for all windows and doors.
If someone wants your stuff, they're going to have to kill me.
I haven't 100% thought it through...
But anyway... Let's get the show going.
Who's putting a prize up for grabs tonight?
– You brought something in, Julie. – Yes, and we're staying in that ballpark.
I brought a security document with me.
Because I ...
I like to write down my passwords on a piece of paper.
I have that paper hanging with all passwords in my cupboard at home.
You might not want to reveal where it hangs.
Things are really going wrong now, Julie.
– What are the passwords for? – Everything. Facebook, Instagram, banking.
Online banking. That's where it gets interesting.
There is special motivation for Julie Rudbæk in tonight's programme.
How do we start, Mark?
There are rumours that this show is state-funded with arts support.
I want to emphasize that this is not the case.
Let's start by watching the contestants play with toast bread and toasters.
Oh, yes! I vaguely remember.
Are you toasting bread?
– Toast bread. – Toast.
– This looks nice.
And a little task.
It's hot.
"Get a piece of toast in the toaster from the furthest distance."
– "You have sole responsibility for ..." – Sole responsibility? Oh boy.
"For the bread ending up in the toaster."
– So you're not allowed to help? – "Furthest distance ..."
"From you to the toaster, when the bread lands in the toaster, wins."
"Wins."
– "You have 20 minutes." – "Time starts now."
– The bread just needs to go in? – From the longest possible distance.
I can start by throwing it in there to be safe.
There. That was one attempt.
I have a loyal but also impressionable assistant.
That's why I added the words 'sole responsibility' in the task.
That being said, who should try toast and toaster first?
If you know the program, you know —
— that it's always nice when we get these small, creative solutions.
I hope we'll see some of that, but instead we start with Martin ...
... who goes with the solution of just tossing bread at a toaster.
Here it comes.
Should we go outside and feel the wind?
We need to make a funnel. This is going to be good.
Yes. It'll be great.
That wasn't good.
Let's resaddle.
That's alright.
We'll go again.
Could you help a bit?
Just edge it in.
We try again. Coming there.
Yes!
In football, that's what they call hitting the woodwork and scoring.
It hits a side table. You're nowhere near the toaster.
No, and it's a bit of a mess now with that one word "sole".
But I do it because I'm a former Danish badminton champion.
Well okay.
– Very nice, Martin. – So I'm thinking of a good clear.
– Danish champion..? – Yes, but clearly not in the best league.
I was excited watching a grown man hurl toast at a toaster.
I know how hard it is from half a meter away.
So this deserves points. It's a tough discipline.
I think this was a great achievement.
I would get more and more angry.
And end up throwing the toaster at the toast.
It was a study of zen and self-discipline.
Clearly coming from a professional athlete.
Great inspiration, Martin.
But you used Mark so it doesn't count.
That's why I mention badminton. Perhaps I could have three points?
I would have accepted your solution if you had built a ramp.
But you're right, you use Mark. You were not solely responsible.
I'm afraid you're disqualified from the first task.
– Can anyone do better? – We have to move on to Simon.
– Can you guess where I'm going? – No, tell me.
I'm going to the shed.
Mark doesn't know that I'm one of the few—
— who have participated in competitive distance toast immersion.
What will happen?
I'm using the lamp as an immersion point.
Then I tape these to the table to create two anchors.
Then I add string, go out into the garden and lower the bread into the toaster.
– I'm not sure I understand. – You don't need to either.
Is it in?
– It's in. – I think I'll stop here.
– Perfect. – I can't get any further away.
Well I could, but I think this is good enough for third.
Cunning. A good solution.
As I said, I've done this many times before.
It feels as if we're being treated to championship participants.
It's the National Toast Immersion Championships you've qualified for, right?
Yes, we usually start at 15 meters.
Why don't you just go further away?
Specifically the red string ...
... there wasn't much more of it.
And everyone knows that if you make a combination immersion line...
You cannot do that. Insane.
– You cannot mix them. – He knows it.
Now you know.
Also so that the community of billions immersing toast all over the world...
That I don't get them on my back —
— for putting them in a bad light. There have been many heated cases.
You went for third place. You're guaranteed fourth.
And the question is: Who will he have to beat?
On to Julie. Ambitions are big.
– I'm not sure they fall under the official rules. – I play by entirely different rules.
Can't you make a trigger?
See. Now this should burn and cut this.
I'll turn it on and then run away. I'll run into the park.
It is solely my responsibility, so don't be afraid—
— or start saving it, or do something stupid when I'm gone.
– Agreed? – Agreed.
I'm turning on now.
See you!
No...! That's a shame.
It should have been half inside from the start.
I should have been on that course.
We don't even need to invoke the rulebook.
I require two corners of the bread to be in the toaster.
– Mark, who's next? – We are going to...
Oh, is it me? Yeah okay.
We'll see Eva answer the question: What is a piece of toast bread, exactly?
Chew on that.
– What now. – We can do anything to the bread.
– It doesn't say a whole slice of toast. – It just says "a piece".
Did it go in?
There is a small molecule of bread.
There! Yes!
Well, that was actually pretty good.
Yes! It was good, wasn't it?
It was not what I expected.
No, exactly. Brilliant. Nothing less.
I don't know if you expect to get away with this.
I already made a rule which says two corners of the toast bread.
But that is if you try with a slice.
So I'll have to go through my own rules.
A piece is a detached part of a larger whole.
I only wrote it was supposed to be a piece of toast.
That could be a piece of a slice, or a molecule.
What I'm getting to is this...
What do you think?
– You have found a solution ... – Which is brilliant.
– I'll have to accept your solution. – Yes!
– Mark, how far away is Eva? – 6.85 meters.
Oh, that's great!
There's still one more participant. What has Sebastian...
Now it gets really exciting.
Any immediate plans?
Yes. I'm not going to throw.
I need some fishing line.
And then I need a hell of a high place.
Yes, yes. Now look there. At least there is a tower.
But that is also here.
– The fire engine? Do you think you can? – Let me ask.
– Let's do it Mark. – They said yes?
Have a good trip, Sebastian.
I'm the king of the world!
Okay, here it comes.
It was close!
Yes!
Yes! Fantastic!
Damn good.
Now, no disqualifications or anything, right?
No, it was a great achievement. It is cunning to do it at height.
– Shouldn't you do it yourself? – There won't be a but?
It is excellent teamwork and requires a skilled team captain.
The crane operator, you and Mark each solve your tasks.
How would you say you coordinate the team effort here?
Coordinate? I get ...
Don't ruin this.
I'm getting a crane truck lifted ... Mark.
It was 30 meters in the air, man!
Sebastian, do I hear you taking all the credit for this?
Yes.
That is very wise of you, because then you're not disqualified.
I don't lure people into traps. That was a team effort.
And it takes an arrogant asshole to say, "It was all me."
You have chosen to be that asshole, so I accept your solution.
You're flattering me.
So I just want to know: How far away is Sebastian?
We can just start by giving zero points to both Julie and Martin.
There are three points for Eva —
— four points for Simon and five points for Sebastian.
You get a piece of bread into a toaster —
— from a height of over 30 metres.
Holy shit.
Don't look so mad, Simon.
Mark, what do we do now?
We must move on.
But not to anything nice. We have to listen to some really horrible sounds.
Mark, you're a bad assistant.
– Hi Simon. – What's up, piss ant?
That was annoying.
– Can you hear me? – I can now.
– Should I make a loud noise? – Ah, so this is your place.
– So this is your place. – Yes, welcome.
But that ... ah.
– "Make the most horrible sound." – "You have 20 minutes."
"The sound the taskmaster likes least..."
– "Wins." – "Time starts now."
"Make the most horrible sound."
As my blessed grandmother always said: If you don't care, you're never happy.
And also, how do you know what you like listening to if you never heard something horrible?
The task is strictly subjective. It's a sound I don't like.
The most horrible sound to my ears.
It may sound masochistic —
— but let's dive in. Give me some sounds I won't like at all.
We start with Simon and Sebastian's sound.
If you have annoying neighbors —
— now is the time to open the windows and turn the TV all the way up.
Here are a few different power tools.
Are there sounds you think are terrible?
They can make noise, and if I find something to do it against.
Styrofoam on styrofoam is really terrible.
Fairly annoying sound.
Just that sound.
There was something there.
Didn't we have a cauliflower?
Ah!
Ugh, this is ridiculous! Shit program.
Do you know the spot on your body —
— which is right between the used-food-hole and the child factory?
I don't like that.
Shit, man. We found a winner.
Ouch! Fuck me, man.
It doesn't get much better.
Now we have the sound.
I thought I had to keep going for 17 minutes.
– No, no. – Okay. Fuck.
I don't know if you and I share genetic material, Simon.
But as soon as someone mentions styrofoam, I get goosebumps.
And cauliflower against styrofoam. It's physically hard for me to listen to it.
Yeah, me too.
Sebastian, spatula against plate is one of the most disgusting things I've ever heard.
That's funny, cause it didn't sound that bad in reality —
— as the handsaw did.
You lock it on power tool against plate.
And that's more of an annoying sound.
I have to... I don't like to disagree with the taskmaster—
— but "locking it" is not part of the task.
I would appeal to the taskmaster to read the task again...
The task reads: "Make the most horrible sound."
That's why Mark asked, "Is this the one?" You chose the power tool against the plate.
I have to accept that, but it is under protest.
There are still three goddamn sounds which I won't like.
We're going to you, Eva. And like myself...
I don't get paid for my job, something you obviously know about.
What the hell doesn't Lasse like? When there is no money in the account.
It's humiliating. Especially if the queue is long.
– Have you tried it? – Yes. I have.
That'll be 45.
Unfortunately it was rejected.
– Okay. – There is not enough money on the card.
I grew up with relatively meager means.
But I'm also old enough that I would go to the bank teller.
The lady would say: "You have 46 kr." And I'd say: "Give me 40, then."
I don't quite understand that, Lasse.
It's a long way to go. I must find the sound unpleasant.
But I don't have much experience with that.
At this point in life, in that situation I say: "Let's try another card."
But now you're even more famous.
Imagine standing there as a famous person and being rejected.
There's a gossip bitch over there. And she'll go:
"Hello, Ekstra Bladet. [Tabloid newspaper] I have a front page for you."
Mark, where are we going?
We need to see you, Julie, who I assume is misunderstanding the task.
– What? – You have to make the most horrible noise.
You choose instead to give the chance to an extremely talented TV host —
— who is finally allowed to shine.
Exactly. So not misunderstood. Or what? Let's see.
"The sound the taskmaster likes least wins."
It could be the sound of you becoming taskmaster. How would that sound?
Would you like to be the taskmaster?
Are you ready? Here's the sound.
Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to Stormester.
After careful consideration, I have been selected as the perfect taskmaster.
My name is of course Mark Le Fêvre.
By my side I have my little assistant, Lasse Rimmer.
That must hurt, Lasse.
It hurts a little, doesn't it?
If you have trained for ten years to become an astronaut —
— and your kid comes running and says: "I'm an astronaut too!" —
— then you'd say: "Yes, you are."
The sound is more pleasant to Mark than it is unpleasant to me.
But this must be your worst nightmare.
As if Queen Margrethe enters the throne room —
— and someone from the court has ascended the throne?
That's not how things work. The title does not come with the furniture.
It's something you're born to do.
We're missing one awful sound.
Martin, you allowed yourself to be pierced in the hope of five points.
You're a man who is ready to walk the path of pain.
Yessir.
What does he not like? What does Lasse hate?
– Injustice in the world. – Boring. Not that.
I could throw up something I've already eaten today.
Bones that break are also unpleasant.
Let's go to your place.
– And you can break my shin. – Won't you need it?
Ahhh!
– They're completely straight. – Try again, use your leg!
No, Mark, damn it! No!
Again! Do it again!
Ahhh Mark!
Damn it, Mark.
Come on. Ouch! There it was.
It's hanging. Do you see?
One thing is how much you feel the pain of others. Another thing is how convincing it is...
But that didn't sound like violence.
It was actually very loving in there.
It sounded like a Wednesday night after badminton.
I wouldn't say you're an unconvincing actor.
– No, you really shouldn't say that. – So instead, I just want to say:
It didn't hurt me that much to hear you "break your leg".
Maybe if he had done it with a cauliflower?
Let me distribute some points, we'll see how much that hurts.
I've considered how many involuntary grimaces I made when I heard the sounds.
I was smiling when listening to your dream of taking over my job.
So one point, Julie.
Eva, two points for you, three points for Martin.
So we are at the first two. Five points for Simon, four for Sebastian.
The next task is actually a bit of a surprise.
If you looked at the participants and thought Sebastian looks a little sweaty —
— then that should make sense in a little while.
Hi, Mark.
– Mark. – Martin!
Should I just sit down? Thanks.
What are we up to?
There is a task.
What?
A festively colored thing.
What the hell?
"Hide the most unexpected costume under your clothes."
"For the studio recordings of Program 3."
Unexpected costume?
"If your costume is discovered before this task..."
"You're disqualified."
Okay.
"Most unexpected costume hidden under your clothes wins."
"You have until the studio recordings. And time ..."
"Starts now."
– Have you swapped? – What?
I was just wondering if you had changed the...
No, nothing.
When the task criteria is the most unexpected costume —
— then I also write down: What would I expect?
So here I have an envelope —
— with the three costumes that I would think were the most obvious.
Uh ...!
No...!
Mark, who are we going to see first?
I've been looking forward to this. We start with you, Julie.
– So now I just have to take off my clothes? – Yes!
– I don't really feel like it. – But it's TV2!
Yes, I do feel like it. And especially for Mark.
I really feel like stripping for Mark today.
Because in a way it's also a bit of a tribute...
God, you are so annoying.
... to dear Mark.
Maybe you'll recognize it when I jump in here.
When I see you, I don't think: That's Mark.
It's Mark for his 31st birthday.
– Who will reveal their costume now? – You, Simon.
I'll have to ask Lasse to either close his eyes or take off his glasses.
It only takes a few seconds. My assistants will also help.
What? Do you have assistants who help you with dressing and undressing?
Always. You know that too.
It is 100% something the audience did not expect.
I count down from three. Then you can open your eyes.
Three, two, one, now!
This is Marianne Soltyr [= "Sunbull"]
She rides the sun so hard that it sets every day.
She also makes it so happy that it rises again.
– You are really hot. – You're beautiful.
You need to wipe your mouth, Sebastian.
You've gone all-in.
I don't know how you feel about the fact that after the challenge I won't say:
"Now you can change back into your normal clothes."
Let me explain my preparations. Do you know what it feel like —
— to wear a corset with your genitals stuffed up behind ...
– Never forget the name. – Marianne Soltyr.
Thanks.
– Mark ... – You might as well learn the sign.
– Can we see another unexpected costume? – From lovely Marianne to lovely Eva.
Oh yes. I'm sitting here in a chair.
And I will now let the transformation begin…
... to Mr. Lasse Rimmer himself.
– Well, what do you think? – With washboard abs and all.
What do you say?
You're under the impression that I'm hiding a six pack —
— and an ambition to be the male stripper who says:
"The neighbors have called the police. Someone here is illegally naughty."
That's not my upper body. I can guarantee you that 100%.
I thought it was Eva's.
Thank you. Who are we going to see next?
Sebastian, let's see what you're hiding.
Yeah ...
A little bit disappointed now.
I have ... And then we take ... There is a little more style.
Some think: We have seen that before somewhere.
– Holy shit, Seb. – Well dressed.
That's nothing.
I sense that you can feel a bit of style.
You think: That's familiar. But it's like something's missing...
... the crowning glory.
Although it's hardly surprising, this is what we're doing ...
So I would like to say: Welcome to Stormester.
So it's ... It was me all along.
That's my face, just 20% bigger.
And I already have a huge head.
Oh my. There's one left.
Yes, the blond raisin at the end of the sausage ... Martin.
What did you say at the beginning?
I can hardly remember that now. What costume are you wearing?
It's time for us to get our foreign fans into the game.
Camera 1.
Good evening, Europe.
And USA.
Canada. And Wales.
Now you can finally understand what's going on in here.
So please, Lasse, would you read the task in English?
– Please. – I'll just find the task.
It says: "Hide the most unexpected costume underneath your clothes —
— for the studio recordings of Program 3 of this season."
"Most unexpected costume hidden under your clothes will win."
Exactly. And now you will not understand nothing at all.
So ...
The good old ... I have ...
It's insanely unexpected because the magazine Costume ...
Costume. Okay.
It's so crazy to find out, and it's so unexpected for me —
— that I am on the front page and have been pregnant for 19 days.
Hello again.
Find out at ... yes.
I'm looking for the most unexpected costume. Mark, would you just look at —
— what I had previously expected might be obvious ideas?
Yes. In third place was superhero.
In second place, you guessed someone would come in a nude suit.
And the one you would be least surprised by is:
For someone to dress up as the taskmaster or me.
– Ah..! – Shit!
I've been sweating throughout this!
There are points to be distributed. Who has the most unexpected costume?
Sebastian, I was expecting someone to dress up like me.
It gives one point. Eva and Julie also fell into the trap.
The one who has most unexpectedly dressed up as one of us—
— must be Julie Rudbæk, who got your own clothes.
His home clothes. It's not the way we know Mark.
And that's why Eva ends up in fourth place with two points, Julie gets three.
It is surprising to have a Costume under your clothes.
But not quite as surprising as Marianne Soltyr in corset.
Four points for Martin, and five for Simon Jul.
Simon Jul has completed the program so far in one breath.
Therefore, we must move on to the next task.
We skip ahead to quite an annoying one.
Coasters.
Hello.
– I'll open. – Oh, it's long.
"Build the best house of beer coasters on this table."
This table. With ... coasters.
"While you're building, ring the doorbell."
"You must ring the doorbell after exactly one minute."
Is it outside? There is no doorbell here.
Very strange task.
"Then you have to ring 58 seconds later."
"Then 56 seconds, 54 seconds and so on."
– "If you make more than two mistakes..." – "You will be disqualified."
Then I need to know how long it takes to run out there.
– Holy shit. – "Best house wins."
"Time ends when you ring the doorbell for the last time."
I'll need that one more time.
Okay ...
– "Time ..." – "Starts now."
Some tasks are relatively simple. For others, the rules are complicated.
Mark, how will this work in practice?
The doorbell must be rung after one minute, then 58 seconds —
— 56 seconds and so on.
And you have to build a house from beer tiles on the table.
The beer house must be built on the table in front of you.
So you build the house out of beer tiles on the table?
– Construction must take place on the table. – On the table?
Yes, it shouldn't be difficult to understand.
– Martin ... – Well I knew this was coming.
"Build the best house of beer tiles on this table."
Four, three, two, one...
– What do you think? – Great.
It's a shame if it falls over now. How much time do I have?
Five seconds.
Three, two, one...
Almost there. Let's try again.
– Three, two, one ... – On the spot.
I like that you have to make sudden drastic choices.
Five seconds. One ...
I think I'm about to achieve something.
One ...
– Now it suddenly makes sense. – Six ...
Shit!
Three ... One ...
Yeah, yeah.
I doubt this is going to get any prettier.
– It is built on animals. – Where is it built?
On animals. Erling and Marianne.
– That's it. – Does it say anything about...?
"Build the best house of beer tiles on this table."
The worst part is that I pound the table to begin with.
– It's humiliating, isn't it? – It is so superiorly done.
Before you change your mind and build on the zebra's back, you say:
"I like making drastic decision."
It's a creative interpretation. There must be room for that.
– What is a table? – And where does it end in principle?
– No. – There is nothing to save.
The beer house was to be built on the table, and you built it on a zebra's back.
– Unfortunately zero points. – That was wrong.
I would like to see if there are any participants —
— who obey all the rules and build a nice house out of beer tiles.
– On to Sebastian and Simon. – Oh God.
– We're building a high-rise building. – Would you say ten when it is?
Ten seconds.
Thank you.
Ringing!
Look at that.
Fire ...
– I'm getting into a rhythm. – Bjarke Ingels [architect] must be thinking: Fuck, man!
Five ...
– 12. – Ten seconds.
Then we put the veranda out there. The outer structure up here.
Ten seconds.
Fuck.
I need to start thinking carefully now.
15 ...
There.
We're looking at a house sat in triangles.
Up here is where lots of people live. Here is the annex for the au pair girl.
– It comes in modules. – What energy rating does such a badboy get?
If you make an aquaponic system, it will be a plus.
Damn.
Those were two good solutions.
You can't put a finger on that architecture.
I completely agree.
What was it like to have to solve two tasks simultaneously, or alternately?
I couldn't get the doorbell off or move the table.
It must have been annoying that you couldn't remove the bell.
Right, Mark?
Yeah, it would take brute force to remove the doorbell. On to Eva.
We have to solve the doorbell problem first.
We are going to make a nice house.
No! I clicked.
– I clicked just then! – You have to ring exactly.
Yes, it works. Do you think the others have been running back and forth?
Yes, stupid as they are. Stupid and ignorant.
Easy.
– Is there a style you want to build in? – Yes, Gothic. Notre Dame.
Many churches are built with round arches. But Gothic cathedrals are…
... built with pointed arches.
– Are you using that as glue? – It's some kind of glue I think
– No ...! – That was one more mistake.
But all my plans...
– Damn it. – Good thinking, right?
We learn a little from watching you build.
Yes, about Gothic cathedrals and Gothic architecture.
You see through something that neither Martin, Sebastian nor Simon do.
That the bell can be peeled off. It is wireless.
That's why there's a short audio delay.
You saw through the small loophole in this task.
Problem is, you don't make it through the loophole.
– Unfortunately, I'll have to disqualify you.. – No, Lasse! What about the cathedral?
– The beautiful cathedral? – It wasn't finished after all.
Unfortunately, there are two disqualifications.
Will there be two people on the board, or will Julie Rudbæk wedge herself in?
On to you, Julie. Eva, you'll get the doorbell off.
Subsequently, it sits very loosely. So loosely that...
– Does it fall off? – It wasn't as firmly stuck.
If you notice that it is loose, it would be obvious.
"It's removable. I'll take it inside."
Unless your name is Julie Rudbæk.
I know, one would think...
Unless you are a decent person following the rules.
Okay, so... You've started. Cool, Mark.
No, this is bullshit.
– Again. – Ten seconds.
No, it has seriously fallen off.
So the doorbell fell off.
– You should have it repaired. – So it's not stuck?
These are so annoying!
It falls off! It's the world's worst doorbell.
Shit.
No, fuck off! That's some bullshirt.
– It's bullshit – Now what?
It's the doorbell, Mark.
It just occurred to me that I should take it inside.
How idiotic!
Five seconds.
Now I can concentrate on building a tower.
– Something to strengthen yourself? – Thank you, Mark. Are you having one?
Here is my house. See you.
It worked.
Yes, it worked.
– But what style of construction was it? – Somewhat pyramid-inspired.
– It's not a cathedral, is it Eva? – No, there are no pointed arches.
But I succeeded, didn't I? After all.
Three approved houses, Mark. Can I see them side by side?
The best house is one that speaks to my imagination.
The distribution of points will be as follows: The most imaginative house —
— was stacked by Simon Jul. Five points to him.
Julie Rudbæk scores four points for a house I would also like to live in.
Norman Foster, aka Sebastian Klein, likes to build tall.
It doesn't speak much to my imagination. Three points.
What does this mean for the overall position?
It only means that Marianne is at the front.
But there is one task missing —
— which will be solved in full regalia by our costumed participants.
It's happening here on stage right now.
The very last task is going to play out right now.
The question is: Mark, who should be allowed to read the assignment aloud?
Well ...
Could you hold the box?
There you were.
– Oh boy. – Oh.
The participant who will read the task aloud is Marianne.
"Dear beautiful Marianne."
"How hot you are and beautiful and slim."
And there is, like, a task, tra—la—la.
It says: "Write the following on your board:"
"A cool hobby, a funny animal, a famous event."
"You have 30 seconds."
The task reads: A cool hobby, a funny animal and a well-known event.
– You have 30 seconds. – Go!
So it was a cool hobby, a funny animal and a well-known event.
Ten seconds left.
Done.
Four, three, two, one...
Stop writing.
There is a little extra thingy.
Who will get to read the second part of the final assignment aloud?
– Julie, do you want to read aloud? – Yes, I'm brave enough. Thanks.
Are you ready?
"Pose like the things you wrote on your board."
"You must hold your pose throughout the round."
"You may not move, make noises, or communicate in any other way."
"You get one point for each pose the taskmaster guesses correctly."
– Yes. – Mark?
The first thing you have to pose as is a cool hobby.
Are you ready for it? And pose!
This sucks, man!
I would think the cool hobby —
— Martin tries to pose as...
Speed up, Lasse.
– I think it's table tennis. – Yes, it is!
That's it.
At the risk of being condemned by an entire sport...
Could it be sumo wrestling? No.
– What was it? – It's kendama.
It's like a street game if you're a bit ... street.
– It's a wooden stick and a wooden ball. – Leave it!
Fine. Kendama.
– Let me finish. – No!
The ball is available in different colours.
You can match it to your image.
I have chosen a green ball because I am a positive person.
The funny thing is that it's actually an old Japanese children's toy.
Sebastian, I'm ready to round up or down from figure skating.
You weren't earlier when I could stand still!
You can drop your pose. What cool hobby did you pose as?
Probably not one you know. It's called football.
Julie Rudbæk is studying something very small.
Possibly through a magnifying glass.
– Is that philately, stamp collecting? – Yes! Well guessed.
– Ouch, my legs. Good, Lasse. –And finally Simon Jul.
Can liking tattoos be called a cool hobby?
It's tattooing. No. What is it?
Pearl diver.
Holds his breath and finds the pearl.
Let's skip to the next pose, a funny animal. Here you go.
We start with Simon. It's an animal that hides.
A little animal with antennae.
– Could it be an earwig? – No.
No, it has ... I changed my mind. What kind of animal is it, Marianne?
– It was a gilled sea snail. – Of course it was a snail.
The world's most poisonous marine mollusc.
Julie is in the process of making a sort of small, cute hamster/guinea pig.
– It's a guinea pig. – That's right. Good guess!
How the hell did he guess that?
That is of course ... You cannot move your wings.
Because it's an albatross. A bird.
– Ha-ha! – Is it a vulture?
It's a laughing kookaburra, Lasse.
– Oh yeah. A funny animal. – It was supposed to be a funny animal.
Eva Jin, that is a ...
– Anything you say will be wrong. – A confused gorilla.
– No. It was a mammoth, Lasse. – Ah, they were tusks.
And finally I look at Martin Johannes Larsen.
– You're posing as a cute little cat. – I sure am, Lasse.
It's true.
They're running away from the field.
Once again there are points for Martin and Julie, who both have two points.
Let's jump ahead to the third pose, a famous event.
Please pose.
A famous event.
We begin with Martin Johannes Larsen —
— who has created the Olympic Games.
– Weren't those the rings? – That's right again!
It's true.
Eva Jin ...
That is Lars Løkke's [former PM] latest election defeat.
– Am I right? – No, it's New Year's.
– Is it a nap? – New Years eve.
– That must be World War II, Hitler. – Finally!
There are two possibilities. Julie Rudbæk poses as ...
I don't want any reactions from Julie.
It's either Brian Laudrup [footballer] celebrating an iconic goal —
— or Julie remembers the time Burt Reynolds posed for Playgirl.
– So I go with Brian Laudrup. – Correct!
– That's a damn good mime. – And finally.
Singing.
Someone who is fond of art.
It is a decisive concert. You are an opera singer.
It's the memorable soprano, Italian, I think, Maria Callas —
— in her most impressive performance. An aria.
– I was the Copenhagen Pride Parade. – Of course you were!
Two of you posed so impressively that I guessed you all three times.
It was Martin and Julie. With maximum points, three each —
— you score a victory in the final task and get five points each.
That means tonight's winner is who?
The winner is a very beautiful person named Marianne.
Yes man!
I once heard something from a mole—
— who wanted to know who had pooped on his head.
It said, "Thank you for tonight."
