I'm so sorry.
Could we sing some song of yours to her, like together?
I need my shoes more than you need yours.
No one can do it this quickly, no one!
Good evening, I'm Jaakko Saariluoma, and this programme is Taskmaster.
The evening will go as follows: I've arranged an array of tasks for our contestants.
We'll watch them together, and after that, I'll score them downright arbitrarily —
because I am the taskmaster.
In this role, I'm extremely strict, and sometimes even exceptionally fair.
Our regular contestants are: Minka Kuustonen — [*Stage and screen actress]
Miika Nousiainen — [*Novelist, journalist, screenwriter]
Kiti Kokkonen [*Actress, writer, sketch character of the year] and Aku Hirviniemi. [*Stage, screen, and sketch actor]
And tonight, competing with them is the actor Christoffer Strandberg. [*Stage, screen, voice, drag, comedy etc.]
Thank you.
And let's not forget about my loyal assistant —
the competition's official judge, Pilvi Hämäläinen.
A very good and appropriate evening to everybody.
Would you like to say anything else?
No thank you. — The always talkative Pilvi Hämäläinen.
For starters, let's find out what we'll be competing for tonight.
And as we do, the first round of points is up for grabs. Pilvi, could you illuminate this matter a little bit?
The episode's prizes come from our contestants' own archives —
and this time, the thing you asked them to bring was:
Something that's beautiful in a surprising way.
— Oh, haha, did I now? - That's what you did. — Well, interesting.
(Jaakko:) Minka, what surprisingly beautiful item did you bring?
Um, I brought, um, Koponen's* dreadlock. [*It's a surname, but even 10 mins of googling gave no hints of who that could possibly be]
(Jaakko:) Is that a spoonerism? [*It's a surname, but even 10 mins of googling gave no hints of who that could possibly be]
— This sounds... (Christoffer:) What... — My brain isn't functioning to that extent but um...
Does Koponen know that you have this dreadlock? — He probably doesn't, actually.
— But when he watches this, he surely will. - Sure does. — Thanks for this.
Are you alright?
— Kiti. What did you bring? — I brought a baroque* sconce. [*Doesn't translate: she's adjectified a word that normally only occurs as a plural noun. It means overly ornate, often inessential decor]
— Could you repeat that once more? — A baroque sconce. [*Doesn't translate: she's adjectified a word that normally only occurs as a plural noun. It means overly ornate, often inessential decor]
Kiti I'll just shed some light on this for you, this isn't the programme where you bring antiques.
(Jaakko:) Or do I look like Wenzel Hagelstam* to you? [*Antiques expert on a classic antiques show] — A little bit, you do!
Thank you. Don't forget that I can also give negative scores. – Yeah!
Aku, what did you bring?
Umm, I got as a souvenir... My friend was visiting Pompeii.
And I got a kind of, like, a statue of, like, a bird.
– Wow. — Yeah. — Oh... (Laughter.)
Okay. And what is it about this, that's... Let's unpack this, Aku, what's surprising about this?
Well, like the surprising thing about birds usually is, the wingspan.
Alright, and what's beautiful about it? — The size. Small is beautiful.
Next, Christoffer. What did you bring?
I've brought the teeth of Alexander Stubb*. [*Former prime minister with rather substantial teeth]
Or rather, a copy of them that fits into my mouth. [*Former prime minister with rather substantial teeth]
I've had these made because I imitated him so industriously, —
back when he was still... I almost said "back when he was still something", but I mean, back when he was a minister and um, in public a lot.
— Christoffer. — Yeah? — As I'm truly reviewing this set of teeth now, they're a little bit...
(Jaakko:) When I recall Stubb's teeth, they're smoother and they don't have such huge gap in the front, so —
Spill the beans, what's this really about?
Well... The truth is that I meant to bring Alexander Stubb's teeth. — Yeah?
And I grabbed this box with me in a hurry this morning –
And when I opened it at the studio, it found Nöpö—Felix's* teeth instead. [*His comedy character, an irritating and self-absorbed 10-year-old]
I don't know, I genuinely don't know when and how this switch has taken place.
They're both exhausting youngsters.
I won't comment on that! — Both Alex and Felix, ending with an X.
Well, what about this youth representative of ours, Miika Nousiainen, what did you bring?
Yeah so I brought an item that I've had since '84.
The debut maxi single of the band W.A.S.P. —
Animal (Fuck Like a Beast). — Oh wow. — (Jaakko:) Thank you, Miika. — Not at all.
So the objective was to bring an item that's beautiful in a surprising way.
You brought items, thanks for that, but the ones that were surprising weren't beautiful in any way, —
and the ones that were beautiful weren't all that surprising.
So, for a nice try, everybody gets one point.
– Ooh, but well. I'll take it. Equal. — Who's in the lead?
But one of you who wins this episode gets to take these things home.
And for the winner of this whole season, awaits this golden Taskmaster statue.
Right then. We'll go to the mansion for the first proper task.
Hi. — Good day, [same in Swedish:] god dag.
I almost thought that it was Jukka* from the Dudesons coming. [*lively regular contestant from season 1]
Right, I'm practically an old Dudeson* aren't I. [*Extreme Dudesons = Jukka's show similar to Jackass]
"Remove the ping pong ball from the tube." — "You may not move the tube."
"The fastest to remove the ball from the tube wins." — "Ah!! Time starts now."
So the contestants had to remove a ping pong ball from the tube on the table, as fast as possible.
However, they weren't allowed to move the tube.
Excellent. Sounds great, who's first?
Let's start with the performances of Aku, Kiti and Christoffer. — Oh of course.
So, what, I can't touch the tube? — There's a hole in here.
One umbrella is not enough. Two...
Oh flipping hell. Of course there's another hole.
There. So um, now I'm not touching the tube, I'm touching the table.
These are alcohol free, right?
Wait, I'll just have to turn this around, so...
Did I just touch the tube? No I didn't, this is a tray, this tray isn't a part of the tube.
You can not move the tube, but you might be allowed to move the stand.
I mean, actually I should just take this over to the kitchen and put under a tap.
Will this... Sorry. — You may not move the tube.
But there's no ping pong ball!
So it is in there after all. Why didn't I do this right away?
So I won't even need to move the table, I'll just do this.
But I'm not moving the tube now am I, if I just like turn this... upside down.
So, like this.
Has it been glued in?
Oh, no, I've blocked it with these...
I can't believe this.
Time's up.
Aku... (Laughing.)
Aku, Kiti and Christoffer.
You know, I feel like, you know, it's just like explaining the workings of a space rocket to a golden retriever.
Saying that the tube may not, it may NOT be moved.
That's the funniest thing I've seen, that —
when you yourself... — Jammed the ball in.
I've never felt as stupid —
as I have during and after that task.
I thought that Minka an I would be the simple ones, but... — Nope!
But I mean, it was stated multiple times that the tube was not to be moved.
No no no but exactly, I reckon we had the same logic. – Yeah, the stand! If you grab it by the tray —
and flip it over, then we're not moving the tube, but the tray by which... — I mean the tube does m...
(Christoffer:) That struck a nerve.
Apologies. Taskmaster, please tell us what you have to say. I won't intervene.
Right, so the tube was not be moved, and yet it did move quite lot in every single one —
and then there's all this politician level arguing over this matter, I mean —
Pilvi, what are the scores?
Yeah so um, actually it's quite difficult to think of any more ways how that tube could've been moved more than it was.
So in that sense, everyone's attempts were pretty much failures, but —
the fastest person to tip the tube over and get the ball out was Christoffer, who did it in 37 seconds.
Kiti took one minute and 22 seconds to do it —
and Aku took 2 minutes and 16 seconds.
Yeah, a good trio. — Yeah.
Good. These were um, rather unsuccessful attempts, all three. – Thanks.
But luckily we still have Miika and Minka left.
— The expectations are very high. – Indeed, same here. — But let's go for a little break at this point. — Oh no!
Welcome back, this is Taskmaster. Before the break, we saw —
how Kiti, Aku and Christoffer tried to get a ping pong ball out of a tube —
without moving the tube.
We're still yet to see the performances of Minka and Miika —
and it's hard to imagine that things could go any worse, at least.
— Right, that's what one might think... — It can't go worse. — ...But um, let's see what Miika and Minka managed to do.
Oh maybe you could've placed this... here onto the floor too.
If I were to put these over here really quickly, and then ... suck.
Does is constitute as moving the tube when I've come down here on the floor?
Bloody hell.
(Minka:) Bye.
I'll get a bucket or something.
There, that's enough water now.
But it's there on the bottom again.
What on earth, the ball has disappeared.
It's in there. — No it's not.
So this system of mine doesn't work anymore does it, because this, this is no longer attached to the bottom.
(Frustrated laughing.)
Legendary um, red liquid.
Wow!
There yo go. Oh look, the time is up.
Time is up. — Surprisingly easy.
No one can do it this quickly, no one!
(Minka:) Wow. Oh my.
My expectations were actually high, —
but surely, on the scale of madness, this went much further than the first three.
Miika, you thought that this was easy. — This was surprisingly easy.
What do you base that claim on?
Like, lightness, a sense of effortlessness, and like... Being at ease.
Pilvi, what were the results?
Well, right away, Minka joined this —
guild of tube movers that's already gained a sense of tradition, didn't she.
(Christoffer:) Welcome.
And by that, managed to get the ball out, out of the tube —
in 4 minutes and 39 seconds.
But Miika did have a pretty good tactic didn't he.
Well it was, but, if now as an afterthought, in a way... You clog up the holes, —
but not to the extent that it jams the ball, as happened with Kiti and me too. — Right, indeed. Yeah.
Then some of that water, and then you just catch it. 14 secs. — Right. But I mean...
The tactic I had, don't try that at home now.
— Yeah that became clear. — It didn't work out. — That became completely clear. What was Miika's result?
Miika got the ping pong ball out of the tube in —
eight minutes and 30 seconds. — Pretty quick.
(Pilvi:) So you were the only contestant who didn't move... — Didn't move it, like.. in a way that would've been of assistance.
Miika moved the tube so minimally that Miika gets five points for this.
(Jaakko:) And to everyone else, one point for a good try.
Yay! Thank you. — It's something.
Pilvi. How's the score situation right now? Who's in the lead?
Well, I wonder who? — The one in the lead right now is Miika.
(Minka:) Good for you, Miika.
(Jaakko:) Miika we're all just as surprised as you are. — Yes we are.
Let's go to the mansion and watch the next task. — Here we go.
Hi. – Hey.
"Surprise Pilvi."
"Pilvi goes into the shed and comes out in 20 minutes."
"Arrange the biggest possible surprise for her..."
...for the moment when she comes out fo the shed."
"The time starts when Pilvi closes the shed door."
This is a nice task.
So I shut myself into the shed, and their objective was to —
arrange me a surprise as big as possible.
Now I must say that I can barely wait. Whose performances do we get to see first?
Kiti and Miika.
So the time started now, huh. I wonder what the heck I'm gonna use to...
I won't go with the most obvious thing now, which is nudity.
Let's search my car, if there might be some um... gifts.
Could there be something in there?
I wonder if there's pens and papers ...anywhere?
If it could be something, like a birthday party. This can be surprising.
Let's take this, at least.
Maybe some Stephen King—esque horror to it...
This is gonna be a lovely um... Virpi's*... [*wrong name]
Virpi, I mean Pilvi's birthday surprise. Surprise bag. [*wrong name]
— Who's Virpi?
She's going to be delighted about these. And then...
A family show, so... I mean 'cause nudity would be so easy, so um...
(Pilvi:) Time is up.
Wohoo!
Happy birthday to you Happy birthday to you
Welcome to your in advance 50th birthday party.
Here you are.
(Kiti:) Vegetarian food recipes.
Quite something.
That did surprised me.
Uh-huh. — Oh, right, that was there too.
Thank you. — Thank you, Kiti.
(Pilvi:) Time is up.
No!
"Walk to the nearest flagpole."
"Take a peek behind the nearest tree."
"Walk the shortest route to the shoreline."
"Walk 60 meters to the North."
(Miika:) May I offer a breast pocket mint to the fetching miss?
Yes please.
You're welcome. And a flower as well. — Thank you very much.
(Kiti:) Oh my.
Kiti.
Kiti, um... it seems that you have quite a bit of birthday parties and such to arrange, so —
you keep some kind of arsenal of birthday wares at your disposal in the car. — Yes. Always ready, yeah!
Is it true?
Nah, I was on my way to take all sorts of knickknacks to the recycling center and then –
(Kiti:) I bagged them up for Pilvi, sorry, I mean Virpi.
Miika, um... let's just say that offering a breast pocket mint in your pants is like, timeless.
It's a classic.
It's a classic but it somehow makes the impression that it's been quite a long time since you've tried to impress a member of the opposite sex.
It's been a while yeah, it was when I tried to seduce Kyösti Kallio's* spouse from him. [*President of Finland in 1937, died 1940]
Pilvi. Which one was more surprising?
(Pilvi:) I would say that this mint manoeuvre of Miika's, this time that came as a bigger surprise to me —
and then because they were Mynthons, of all things. [*most popular throat lozenge brand] — Right. 234 0 0:18:30,760 --> 00:18:34,440 —Kiti and Miika, thanks for these surprises. – Thank you. — We've seen two surprises –
and more surprises are coming, but now we'll go for a little break.
Welcome back, this is Taskmaster. Before the break, we saw —
How Miika and Kiti tried to surprise Pilvi, and —
they succeeded at it, umm, to varying degrees.
Whose surprises do we get to see next? — Christoffer's and Minka's.
Heck yeah. This is so great.
Okay umm yeah. Is there anything surprising in here?
I'd like to order a pizza or something for her, or order something special, but —
but in 20 minutes you shouldn't get overly ambitious.
Pilvi has never received anything like this.
Isn't um...
Nice surprise. A surprise...
This on top of my head. I think this is surprising.
I'll wear a life jacket.
WAIT HERE!
(Pilvi:) Time is up.
Darling, I know that you weren't expecting this, but...
I love you.* — Thank you, Minka. [*Finns use the word love much more sparingly than Eng speakers do, therefore it actually carries slightly more weight than the English translation]
(Pilvi:) Time is up. [*Finns use the word love much more sparingly than Eng speakers do, therefore it actually carries slightly more weight than the English translation]
(Singing Titanic theme with a strong accent:) Near, far, wherever you are
(Singing:) I believe that the heart does go on
And there's our house Snickers bread.
A cheerful greeting from the chef, and Fairy* water — [*the washing-up liquid]
should a pandemic happen to plague you. Please go ahead and enjoy the dinner.
Thank you, Christoffer.
Was this your performance? — Yeah.
Thank you very much. — Thank you.
Oh my word, look at that. Let's start the unpacking from Minka.
And this was like a kind of Nigerian letter of surprises, so...
(Jaakko:) Was that a bit too much, perhaps? — Could be.
(Jaakko:) Were you surprised, Pilvi? — Umm well, I was actually surprised when...
quite a lot in fact, when I got all that water thrown at me from above. — Yeah.
But after that, everything just felt a bit like an attempt to make amends for it and...
It did feel a bit awkward.
(Pilvi:) But surprisingly awkward. — Well there you go!
Then, Christoffer. That was also quite the variety platter...
Yeah, it was a continuum. — It was a continuum. Were you surprised, Pilvi?
Yeah well um, I mean Christoffer's meal experience of interdisciplinary arts, it was quite... peculiar.
And um, probably the most confusing bit was —
when Christoffer went into the flower bush to squat with a strainer in his head, and he stayed there!
It was the ending. — (Jaakko:) Christoffer I have one question for you.
Was it perhaps unnecessary to use so many Finnish-Swedish traditions in such a short time? [*Christoffer is Finnish-Swedish]
Oh right, Fairy water is a well known Finnish-Swedish tradition isn't it.
— It involves singing before it's downed, doesn't it? — That's true. [*Stereotypically: Swedish drinking culture is joyful with social songs, while Finns drink gloomily and dread any type of performing]
— Thank you for this. — (Christoffer:) You're welcome. [*Stereotypically: Swedish drinking culture is joyful with social songs, while Finns drink gloomily and dread any type of performing]
We still have Aku's surprise to see —
and we'll proceed to watch it right away.
After all, Pilvi has seen everything, experienced everything...
(Phone dialing.)
(Phone:) You want that TV converter box of mine, don't you. I can sell you that converter box —
at a real bargain price.
— Hi. Is this Olavi Uusivirta*? [*Pop/rock singer, actor] — (laughing) Yes, yes.
— Look, Pilvi Hämäläinen is in a root cellar right now. — Yeah.
She'll come out in about 15 minutes.
I'm supposed to surprise her somehow um, as impressively as possible. — Okay.
So could you, if I'll do you some favor sometime, —
and let's not talk about it now because the cameras are rolling, — — Yeah
so um could you come to the mansion, take a guitar with you, —
and when Pilvi opens that root cellar door, —
could we sing some song of yours to her, like together?
Well, I suppose that's possible, okay.
Come over! We'll rendezvous here. Good, okay bye. — Sure. Bye.
I'll create a dramaturgical arc. I'm there just sort of: "Hey, Pilvi."
I'm like... "I've cooked for you." Then I'll give her this, and she's like, "Oh?"
Then Olavi comes and then he starts to sing.
Good afternoon. In case that a friend of mine can't make it, can you sing? An Uusivirta song.
— Do you want some zucchini? — Zucchini? — Yeah, I've got one, like that.
I think Pilvi is gonna love this.
This is just the right size. — Isn't it just.
— Hello. — Okay. Hi. We have to be quiet because she's over there. — Okay, let's be quiet.
So great that you could make it. — Do you have some favourite song that you'd like to play?
Now I have a question, can't you afford a ride better than this?
(Pilvi:) Time is up.
So... there you go. Are you surprised? — Yes. I am, yes.
And that's not all. Because for the dessert...
A zucchini. You can take this home today. — I see. — Here you go.
Ha ha ha!
(Sings:) I'm happy
What did you think
(Olavi:) That's your verse. — Okay.
Hit the pedal to the metal again
Let life go by (Olavi: Go on.)
You're young and beautiful, but who's crying out
Invented gunpowder, but who's firing
A birch twig quietly patters against the window
Is it the wind that's crying out Or is it someone else
Mission accomplished.
(Minka:) That was amazing.
Thank you. Aku, before we start unpacking this task, I'll blow the whistle on the game just for a moment.
Pilvi, has there been a little loophole discovered in your judging —
one that Aku shamelessly took advantage of just now?
No there hasn't, I was completely neutral just there. — Singing along.
Could we just check Pilvi's expression —
when she receives a zucchini, and when Olavi sings "you're young and beautiful" so we'll see?
(Laughter.)
This is bribery!
So do you still claim that Olavi had no influence over you?
Had no affect at all, I was singing along just out of politeness and pity.
Good. So I can still keep you as a judge. Aku. How did it feel —
when the reaction to your solo part and that of Olavi's was so different?
Nah, I'm so used to it that, in a way, like, I'm just happy for the fact that —
there's dear artist friends like that living in Kulosaari*, who'll help a friend in need — [*the part of Helsinki where the mansion is]
so I want to send my loving regards and thanks to Olavi Uusivirta who's watching this at home.
This was a great surprise —
and Aku gets five well deserved points for it. — Yes. — Thank you.
The novelist gets four points and everyone else gets three. — Well, three, okay.
Pilvi, how's the scoreboard at the moment?
At the moment, the one in the lead is Miika. — Wow!
(Miika:) And in such tough company too.
(Jaakko:) But the situation can still change.
Straight away, let's get to the next task at the mansion. — Definitely.
"Egg."
"Make a parachute for the egg, to make it fall down as slowly as possible."
"The slowest and the most dramatic fall wins."
"You get a bonus point if the egg remains intact."
"Time starts now."
So the objective was to make a parachute for the egg, —
to make it fall down as slowly and dramatically as possible.
Who's first?
First, let's see what kind of drops Aku, Kiti and Miika managed to set up.
Let's.
The most dramatic fall, I guess it would go a bit like this.
Alright then. What if I break it at this point already?
Quite good.
I wonder if it should be... Bear thread*, the thread shouldn't be too heavy either. [*Bear = specific extra strong sewing thread brand]
It should, like, go like this in the wind as much as possible.
I need to do some experiments with stuff.
Well I did have an idea that these things that I'm fiddling with now would've been attached by tape.
(Kiti:) So it would've been really dramatic when —
some flies or, you know, could've been caught in it on the way down —
And then of course it would've also gone 'pl-pl-pl', that sort of sound.
And again, isn't it convenient that I happened to do my service* in the paratroopers' unit. [*All young Finnish men have to either serve in the army or do civil service for a while.]
Wh-wh-wh-wh, where are all the sc... knives and scissors?
(Aku:) This product is a joke of some kind.
Then I'll just have to, like, balance it. Get it into a balance.
There.
The direction of the wind may have changed.
(Kiti:) And now I'm gonna release this egg.
I'm gonna take a small risk: I'll throw this upwards and out.
I'll assume that the heavier egg is going to come down, so...
Is the crew ready to shoot in slow motion?
The most romantic of all time...!
(Miika:) Is it intact? — Well the egg, it's broken.
(Miika:) No it's not broken. You broke it.
(Aku:) Did the egg make it? — (Pilvi:) Yes it did.
Among these three, the parachutes didn't have a significant effect on the falling speed of the eggs —
however, Kiti and Aku managed to keep the eggs intact.
Thanks for these. We still have Christoffer's and Minka's performances to watch —
but before that, we'll go for a little break.
Welcome back, this is Taskmaster. Before the break, we saw —
how Miika, Aku, and Kiti constructed parachutes for their eggs —
and some of them even managed to keep the egg intact.
We still have Christoffer's and Minka's performances remaining.
And we'll watch them right now.
Time starts now.
Oh bloody hell.
Yeah no, no, no... I'll be right back.
Like that.
Well, there's this yarn of thread.
I don't know why I took these shoes but I reckoned they'd be my backup plan.
That might actually be even better. The air would get trapped even better.
But even I could jump off the roof with this.
Shoelaces!
I need my shoes more than you need yours. I can take your laces.
There. Like so. You'll get them back afterwards. — Lovely.
(Christoffer:) No, no, no.
Okay.
I'm just making a little bit of a nest for the egg. Like that.
The slowest and the most dramatic.
What if I cried at the same time? — Hmm.
Yeah, let's do it from up here. — OK.
Wait.
Jesus christ.
(Screams violently into the bush.)
(Screams again.)
There.
And here it goes.
(Sings:) Ave maria...
It wasn't very slow, was it. — Not really, no.
It did make it intact.
(Christoffer:) Is it intact? — Yes. — Yay!
Oh it was the orange peel then?
Oh my word. Minka, have you already recovered from that dramatic moment?
— I'm actually a bit moved now. — Great. — We all are. — Thank you.
Christoffer, why did you pick the song Ave Maria?
— It's dramatic. — What is? — Mountains, and the "aave"*. [*aave = slightly archaic Finnish, meaning "ghost"]
I suppose that mountains are related to The Sound of Music? [*aave = slightly archaic Finnish, meaning "ghost"]
— As soon as I opened my mouth, I realised that it's not related... — The wrong song. — It's not from that musical!
— I don't think it's from a musical at all. — No it isn't, no.
In the scoring, I focused on the drama.
And the one to drop it in the most dramatic way was Miika. Five points. — What on earth? - Whah?
Minka four points, —
Christoffer three, Aku two, Kiti one point. - What?
And everyone gets an extra point for the unbroken egg, except Miika.
I'm surprised.
Dear friends, there's some more points to be had. It's time for the final task.
(Jaakko:) Christoffer. Would you read the letter, please?
"Write down a category —
of which you assume the contestant on your right side to be able to name —
as many things as they can in 10 seconds."
"For every thing that the person next to you manages to say that belongs to the category, —
you'll get one point each."
"On top of that, the one who comes up with the most impressive category gets five bonus points."
"Time starts when the category is revealed."
Go ahead, you can write your categories down now.
Good. Right, Pilvi, will you collect the boards please.
I have the categories here now, and we'll start with Miika.
You have ten seconds to list as many things as possible —
that are related to this thing, and Christoffer has come up with this category for you. Are you ready? — I am.
Time starts when I announce the category. "Places to give birth in."
[*actual maternity wards or hospitals] Kätilöopisto Maternity Hospital, Women's Hospital, Jorvi, Porvoo Maternity Hospital.
Contempt... It's not a place!
Time's up! So how many was that?
Four. — Yeah, contempt isn't one, you raise contempt*, but it's not a place. [*lit. "to birth contempt", as in to cause it]
Next one is Christoffer. You have 10 seconds.
The category was thought up for you by Minka. "European countries."
Monaco, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Switzerland, —
Austria, Italy, Germany.
Great Britain, Ireland, Spain, Portugal, (Finland.)
(Jaakko:) Time's up. — Great job!
— That was a lot of them. Monaco first. — Monaco first!
Yeah, I'm such a frequent visitor.
Christoffer, you got 12. — That's a great score.
Then, it's Minka. "Plays of Shakespeare."
Oh ffu... — It started already.
— Did it start already? — (Jaakko:) It started when I announced the category. - (Aku:) No!
Twelfth Night, The Tragedy of King Richard the Third, Romeo and Juliet. — (Jaakko:) Time's up!
(Kiti:) Noooo! — Cool.
(Jaakko:) How many? — Three.
Three. Aku. This one was thought up for you by Kiti.
The most interesting street names in Riihimäki*. [*Small town, 70 km from Helsinki]
[*approximate literal translations:] Authority bend, Big bend, Tavastian road, —
[* approximate literal translations:] Lesser bend, Bend.
[* approximate literal translations:] Road close, Side street. — Time's up! Road close was the last one.
Bend? — Are there so many Bends in there?
Aku got five. — Not bad, not bad.
(Jaakko:) And then it's Kiti. — Yeah?
This was thought up for you by Miika. — Miika! What have you come up with?
Uuno Turhapuro* movies in the 80s. — What, no, you can't do this! [*Old comedy movies known by all Finns.]
Uuno Turhapuro in the army, Uuno Turhapuro in the countryside.
Uuno Turhapuro moves to the countryside.
(Jaakko:) Time's up!
Can't you remember? Marriage crisis, —
Loses his memory, Memory returns in fragments, Moves to the countryside.
(Christoffer:) Why didn't I give this one to you? — Exactly!
Double Uuno. (Kiti:) This is such typical man stuff —
that you give someone else the one that you personally know about! Like with Christmas presents.
Just like I gave him places to give birth in.
"This is what I'm into."
I just thought because your family's had connections to those movies.
As a result, Kiti got two correct answers. — There we go, so...
Not even the one where you yourself acted in. Or did you say "in Spain"?
No but I thought that was in the 70s. I've been, what, six years old!
Thank you everyone. Ludicrously great performances, I have to say, but —
Pilvi. One did better than the others. Who?
The one to list the biggest number of correct things was Christoffer, but —
— Thank you, thank you. — But some points did make their way to several contestants.
Mister taskmaster. You tell us, whose category was the most impressive?
I think the most impressive category was the one that Christoffer came up with.
Places to give birth in. — So, five extra points for that.
But then, the most important question. Pilvi, who's won tonight's contest?
After all the tasks, the person who managed to accumulate the most points was —
Christoffer Strandberg.
(Jaakko:) Congratulations. You can go and receive your prizes.
(Jaakko:) Thanks to all the contestants.
Thank you Pilvi, thank you Christoffer, and most of all, thank you.
This was Taskmaster.
