Yes!
Yes, yes!
-Ouch! -Idiocy!
The brain!
Time’s up.
Welcome to Bäst i Test, the program where we rank people-
- according to how they can handle difficult tasks.
Here comes our panel.
Fantastic folk dancer Erik Ekstrand!
Mangel master Marika Carlsson!
Deep Purple fan Ola Forssmed!
Pokémon pro Ellen Bergström! -Must catch more!
The week's guest is killer whale specialist Moa Lundqvist!
Welcome. Moa, you're new to the panel.
Are you outside your comfort zone? - Yes, is the simple answer.
No, is what I want to say.
I am comfortable, and I feel cool, sexy and ready.
-We appreciate honesty. -It sounded worse than I thought.
-Panel, how's it going? In one word. -Cool.
-Sovereign. -Sexy.
-I’m mad at Erik. -Are you double sexy?
-He teased me when I walk in. -No.
I only remember fine childhood memories.
The gab has already begun.
Sometimes you get unwanted gifts that you still show.
And here I have David Sundin.
Hello, hello. - Thank you, Babben.
We get started right away. Do you have a task that's good to start with?
This is be a breakfast-related task.
“Place the egg in the cup without touching the egg or the cup."
"Use only the items on the table."
"If you use something that anyone else uses,”-
- “you get a 60-second penalty.”
"Fastest wins. Your time starts now.”
One should take the egg and put it in the cup.
But you get a time penalty if you use a tool that someone else uses.
So it's about thinking.
-Like a swingers club. -You take the references you have.
-Who do we look at first? -We’ll see everyone except Marika.
"Your time begins now." Eh ... okay.
They’ll use the dish gloves. Although no one has used them.
I feel like doing this ...
Damn, someone must have used them. Then I can not touch more! So.
That was hard. Now we have lunch.
These are supposed to be taken. These too. They are also gone.
That leaves this. Now I'll use it.
To get the egg easily, I had taken the asparagus ... no, celery.
It gives a better grip. I'm taking the celery.
I will now build a small bed. It will be fine.
I am Bengt Alsterlind [kid-TV host]. “Welcome to Hajk. We’ll build an egg bed."
"Ask an adult to help you with this."
Did I touch it? It was only that -I- couldn’t touch it?
Then it’s no more complicated than this. You must not work too fast.
No ... it’s stuck in some way.
Now it's coming!
So!
What have I done?
Egg ---. You have to bleep me all the time.
Neat!
This is just one hole. What the hell...
I should have taken a celery and bent it.
Come on now.
Yes!
Ola, calm down.
If you want to do something well, stress is one's worst enemy.
I never let myself be affected by stress.
Then the construction became very sturdy.
-You complained about holes in the bed. -I was delighted with it all.
When I got home, I made a jacket.
-Of paper clips? -Yes, a paper clip jacket.
-Erik, you were eager. -Yes, I strike like a cobra.
We'll see if it holds. - What times did they get?
Erik used the rubber gloves and solved it in 15 seconds.
Moa - chopsticks, 23 seconds. Ellen - celery, 57 seconds.
They were all under a minute. Then we have Ola and his bed.
He took an impressive 6 minutes and 36 seconds.
Yes, but ... there is something called accuracy.
If there’s any justice in the world, are you going to consider that?
-It spreads time-wise. -Yes.
Erik could have placed two dozen eggs in that time.
-It can be seen in our physique. -Yes.
If Marika touches only the forks, she doesn’t get any time penalty.
If Marika just takes the forks, Erik will be the winner.
Exciting. Let’s look.
-"Your time begins now." -No!
Do not touch ...
Paper clips! No, no!
What are you doing?!
No!
Take the pins as well!
Clear!
Have I done right? "Do not touch the egg or the cup."
Yes, I've done right!
-"I've done right ..." -Marika!
You have given them all a time penalty. Good work.
Thanks. That information didn’t get stuck in my brain.
I only heard “get the egg in as quickly as possible".
-I got sick, of course -Yes.
-“I’ve done right.” -Now my parents are proud.
-How does this change things? -It becomes a real soup.
-Marika gets a four-minute penalty. -Yes!
-Ellen, Erik, and Ola got a minute. -Thanks, thanks.
-But Moa has no extra time. -Yes!
-She gets five points. -Thanks.
-It's not hard to fool us. -Erik gets four points, Ellen three.
Marika gets two points, and Ola and his cot get one point.
Why do we hand out points? To compete for prizes.
-What do we have for prizes? -We will get into the next task.
The contestants brought their hippest headgear.
Babben gives points on a falling scale.
=The winner takes it all home. -Then I want to look at the hat parade.
Erik has chosen a tank helmet in leather. Yes!
Ola brought a cap from Manchester, from abroad.
This particular wig is hip. Thanks, Ellen.
A rastafarian cap thinks Marika can take home the victory.
A hairclip with a picture of a room ... Moa, what's that about?
Yes, Moa ... We said headgear, and you brought a hairclip.
It's cool because you don’t see what it is at first.
When you go to a party, people think: “Who’s the cool cat?"
This picture is a wonderfully hip loft.
It’s the hippest thing we have; we can live in and have as a headdress.
-Now we close the competition. -Okay...
-Ola, did you buy the cap in Manchester? -No, but it's in Manchester.
-Did you buy it in Liverpool? -No, in London.
-Why did you buy it? -I thought about the Beatles.
John Lennon looked good in the cap, and I wanted a similar look.
-Put it on. -It was a shame about this.
-No... -It has a stud, of course.
-Erik, did you get that in the military? -No.
I couldn’t do military service. "It's not meant for people like you."
It was bought at surplus. It's cool. You understand that.
I went slalom as a child. Suddenly it came with a slalom helmet.
All snowboarders had one. Then I found this one.
Everyone wondered, but I think it's cool.
-Ellen, you have a powder wig. -It was a long time ago.
-How long ago? -In the 1700s.
-It’s never been hip ... -I was born in the 1700s.
It was never hip again.
That's why I brought it.
-Because everything comes back? -Exactly! As soon as it hits.
Yes ... I have done a rudimentary assessment.
Moa, one point.
-Don’t you want to know anything about mine? -No.
I wanted to embrace my African heritage once upon a time.
I don’t like reggae, but I pretended.
I bicycled around Lund and said, "Hello, mon!”
Many came forward and wanted to buy it. But I'm pretty good at it.
-Thank you, momma. -You're welcome, sister!
Now I will score. Moa gets one point.
-That just makes it hippier. -Exactly.
It will sell like butter.
-Erik gets two points. Can you hear me? -Yes, I hear everything.
-Marika ... -I can put my hair in it.
My hair also gets a place. -Yes, but it's up.
If I put it on you, it becomes boring and flat.
-Think about it. -I judge ...
-Ellen gets four points. -Thanks.
-The winner is Ola. -Gosh!
-That? -A boring cap!
-Does he win with that? -It's so boring!
You can be in any Emil movie! [1970s children’s film series]
-Babben has a look. -There are sewn sausages in this.
♫ What beautiful weather / The sun is shining today [Swedish reggae song]
Now let's move on. Can you show the scores, David?
Ola, Moa and Erik are in shared second place.
Ellen has gone into the lead!
Now we will take the next task: Have ketchup, will travel.
Welcome.
"Place a ketchup stain far away on the paper."
"Do not go past the rope."
- "Do not move the rope ..." - "... when you put the stain.”
"Farthest away wins." "You have 10 minutes."
One should put a ketchup stain as far away on the paper as possible.
You could not pass the rope when placing the stain.
-We start with Marika. -Yes, so nice.
I'll see what I can get with my own power.
Shall we?
But if you do ...
-Yes... -It can go.
It came back on me! - It will be a long arc.
I'll check what's in the shed.
Here's a pump. If you suck up ketchup in it ...
It will not ... I have another idea.
I'll get a spoon. It's pretty quiet.
It missed the paper! Oh...!
Well, here's a splash!
It is...
I’ll throw the whole bottle. It might be good.
Oh!
-That’s good. -Time’s up.
If only there was something that was better to throw a spoon ...
I got it too late.
Did you have ketchup in your hair? -Yes.
-It comes out eventually. -It's stupid that it starts so early.
-You should have had your hat. -Yes, or your headdress.
-How far did Marika get? -11.4 meters.
That’s good.
-We look at Ola and Erik. -No...
We start by playing it safe.
Okay. Here's what we do.
If I throw it, it should go.
-Right. -Oh, yeah! Check out that spot!
This is no problem. It's really no problem.
How easy!
Good, Erik!
Now you! This year's dog-poop stain!
I have not placed the stain yet.
Surely it's better than you thought?
Yes...
-Here’s the place. -We’ll make a big spot.
It should be seen.
Can I pull the paper here and put it out again?
Now I can calmly and nicely pass the rope,-
-because I’ve placed the stain!
There we have it!
No!
Wait!
What the hell...? It feels loose.
Yes! Classic!
Now we take it easy. It will go as far away as possible.
Farthest! You can’t go any further!
Can’t get any further!
-Good work. -Easy!
-They moved the paper. Is that OK? -Yes.
I don’t think so. I don’t remember exactly what it said.
You should place a spot as far away as you could.
You could not pass the rope, but you did.
-not when we ... -There was no flight, no speed.
-There was nothing about speed? -You had to throw.
Can't we see the clip where Marika said, "I've done right”?
-It feels important. -You cheated.
-It was not the da Vinci code. -Yeah, for me.
We'll see if Moa and Ellen have cracked the code.
"Far away" is a matter of definition.
Really long!
-Five minutes gone. -Five minutes left.
I'll stop here.
-Good work. -Thanks.
I'm going back. I'm winded.
-Thanks. -Good work.
Seven centimeters.
-Yes... -That's wonderful!
-What were you thinking? -I didn’t hurry. It had to be just so.
Okay. That’s the way the cookie crumbles.
-What can you say about Moa? -It was brilliant!
Now I feel really stupid. Great!
-I thought I was so smart. -You were not.
It was the farthest thing on the paper that mattered.
I put it farthest on the paper. Farthest.
[Lyrics from “Här Och Där”:] There it is, where you are not / Here is here, where you are.
It should be as far away from the rope as possible.
-What was the score? -It is distributed like this.
Ellen gets one point. Marika two, Ola three, Erik four, and Moa five points!
-You are worth it! -Thanks.
-Shouldn’t Moa get style points? -Me too!
-No... -Moa should get extra points.
-Why? -It was a brilliant solution.
-Marika, want to give away a point? -No, but Ola wants to.
-I can give away Marika's point. -No...
-The judge has ruled. Life is unfair. -Yes!
Moa is well suited for style points, but so was Ola’s bed.
-David, what's the next task? -This is a matter of tasting carefully.
A dog. How cozy! Oh my God!
No no no...
Hey! Oh what’ve you got?
-Hello! -Hello.
Finally, man versus beast.
Hey! Oh oh oh.
"Get exactly 12 paws to be on the carpet at the same time."
“Whoever succeeds first wins. Your time starts now.”
-Three dogs should be here. -That sounds correct, yes.
You must not be stupid.
You should have 12 paws on the carpet.
Ellen is right; three dogs should be on the carpet at the same time.
-Nice dogs! Who do we look at first? -All except Moa.
There are three dogs at the same time.
Come on, little friend.
Come ... Hi! Ouch!
Sit. No, don’t go.
-Hello! -That was close.
Come here!
Sit.
- Can I get something to attract? -Yes.
Bread...
Hey! "Nah, it's really crazy. - How busy he was.
You, come here.
I have had a dog. No, sit!
-12 paws, huh? What are their names? -Daisy and ...
-Hello! -That was so close.
Some of them hate each other.
Good boy. Sit.
-Good, stay. -Four...
-Stay. Come here. -Premium!
Stay.
Come on and sit down -Six, eight ...
-No, sit. -Outside.
-Hello! Look. -Eight paws.
-Hello, look! -Now there are too many ... there!
Four paws. Eight...
There we go!
Sit. - Go in with you.
There!
-I have food here. -Where!
No, keep calm!
-Thanks. -Good work.
Stay. No, stay there. No!
If you run, dogs follow.
-Marika, you fed the dogs. -Yes.
But it took time. -Yes, but they did not listen.
I was boring. But I had a dog, and it liked food.
-What do the times look like? -Marika was smart, and came last.
3 min and 4 sec. Ellen - 2 min and 24 sec.
Erik - 2 min, and Ola - 1 min and 16 sec.
Now we take Moa.
"Your time begins now." Okay.
Can my incredible charm get them?
Hello! Come on!
-How much is 12? -Eight...
-There! What the hell ...!
-Hello! -17 seconds.
-I'm like Cesar Millan. -Good work.
Nice work!
Are you a dog person? Do you have a dog? -No, but I love dogs.
-And they love you. -Three of them. That was enough!
You smelled like bacon.
-What bitter tone. -I took it as a compliment.
-Did it go quickly? -Yes, in 17 seconds.
She had already had 129 paws at Marica's time.
-What are the scores? -Moa has gone into the lead.
She has 16 points. The guys share second place.
Ellen and Marika are also included.
You can win a wig, a cap, and a skinned fly.
Now it’s the "Middle of the Program". Now our student-
-will interview our guest, and find out the facts about her.
-I apologize in advance. -Okay.
Thank you, Babben.
-Hello, Moa. -Hello.
-How are you? -Alright.
I'm just writing "HO". [“helt okej”]
You are from Umeå. -Yes.
-How is it in Umeå? -It's okay too.
-What do you do in Umeå? -One goes to town.
-Going to town [går på stan]. GPS. -Yes.
That means it's time to play "U with Å"!
♫ U with Å, U with Å
♫ U with Å ♫ Yes, U with U with U with Å
We are ready for the competition.
Moa, you have a letter under your cushion.
Please read it loud and clear.
“Prepare all Umeå-related items for the second part of the task.”
"You have 100 seconds. Your time starts now.”
-Yes. What?
-What did you say? Prepare all the ... I don’t know.
-What then? -You have 100 seconds.
-Where should I put things? -I understand exactly.
-Sorry. -Now 50 seconds have passed.
It is also known as half time.
The next part of the task is soon. You need to prepare the items.
Yes.
This is going fast if you know what to do.
-I... -Don’t take more tape than me!
-It is being done properly. -Five, four, three ...
Prepare for war! -Stop prearing.
Good. Lean back.
You have prepared the items. We are entering the next part of the task.
That was U, and now comes Å.
Pay attention. I’ll only say this once.
“Hold all the things in one hand."
"Then put your other hand on your head and stand up."
"Fastest wins. Your time begins now."
All things must be in one hand.
-Things, not the table. -No!
-What the hell! -Not the table, just the things.
-It was very ... -No, my stuff!
-All the things, Erik. -Don’t you just see some things?
-All the things. Ola is doing well. -I have lost my pineapple.
-Ola is done. -Yes!
Moa is done!
-My pineapple is gone! -You don’t have to stand on one leg.
-Marika is done! -Where is my pineapple?
-Is it all the things, Erik? -Where's the gnome?
The gnome is here.
-Erik is done. -I don’t have to finish.
That’s it, and sit.
♫ U with Å ♫ Yes, U with U with U with Å
It will be exciting to hear the results.
-Really exciting. -Ellen scored one point. Erik two.
Marika got three points. Moa got four points, and goes up in the lead.
-Ola got five points. -Oh! That’s so exciting!
Now we’ll see the next task.
If this task goes as it should, it won’t be very fun.
-Hello. -Hello.
-Hey. -Hey.
-You can read it. -Should I?
"Do not laugh. Turn around to read jokes to each other."
"Most jokes read without someone laughing wins."
"The competition ends when someone laughs."
This was a duel between the contestants.
It was about not laughing. Now we’ll see how it went.
"Come in, Emil. We're going out."
Okay.
It’s already going to hell. [“the forest”]
-“Can you name a city in Italy?" -“Sure, madam. Which one?”
It will be easy if it’s at this level.
"Help, the circus tent is burning.”
“Get the fire extinguisher!" That was funny.
"I swallowed a light bulb." -"What happened?"
-"Diarrhea." -Food for thought.
"My cat is playing chess ..."
Your face looked funny.
-You are very bad at this. -Yes! I am a happy person.
-You laughed straight away. -What was the point?
-Oh... -Was that all?
"My cat is playing chess." "It must be intelligent."
"No, I win all the time." -That wasn’t so funny.
-Sorry! -I won.
But I only got two points. Do you bid on it or?
In other words ...
"Mother, are there cannibals in Jämtland?"
I lost. I felt so ugly!
I made a face!
-I have lost. -Thanks for a good match.
-I'll take this one. -I didn’t laugh at the letter.
-This is really good. -I didn’t even hear the joke.
-You laughed at your own face. -I felt so ugly.
-You destroyed yourself. -Yes, I was going to be funny to Erik.
I thought you would last a long time, and it was only 10 seconds.
-You started laughing straight away. -No, he wasn’t good at this.
There was something about a cat playing chess.
-I also laughed. -It’s stupid.
Did you get a picture? -Yes. One wanted to visit that cat.
-Oh... -I understand.
What was the punch line of the joke?
"Are there cannibals in Jämtland? Dad said they live on tourists there.”
-It didn’t crack Ellen. -No, because I didn’t get it.
-How did it go? -Ola and Ellen went out fast.
We will decide who wins between Marika and Erik, here and now.
Take your places!
3 points to the winner, 2 to the loser, 1 point to Ola and Ellen.
Moa, you can win points. Bet on Marika or Erik.
Who can not laugh longest? Choose carefully.
-Marika. -Stamped and ready.
-Marika wins. -We will look at each other.
I must not think of when you sing Peps Persson [Swedish reggae musician].
♫ Oh boy!
Look at each other, and take turns. The competition begins now.
-Look at me when you read. -Marika laughed.
-The competition is complete. -You're joking!
-Is it over now? -Yes, you laughed.
-Sheesh ... -It was a clear laugh.
I didn’t think we had started. I have to read the paper!
Now I'm reading the paper! “One balloon said to the other:"
"Watch out for the cactus." -"What cactus?"
-Come on back. -Thanks!
Three points to Erik, two to Marika, and zero to Moa.
Ola and Ellen get one point each.
-Let’s forget it, Marika, and move on. -Yes.
Now it’s a challenge for Babben. Can you find our competitors?
-They are sitting here. -We made it a little more difficult.
"Camouflage yourself so you can’t be seen when David takes a picture."
"You have 30 minutes."
Boo! -What are you doing?
-Hello, David. -Hello.
I should jump into a bush.
Let’s see...
I'll fix ... I don’t have a rubber band.
One should be able to grab some bush stuff.
-30 seconds have passed. -Shit! That was good.
God...
Here it is quite clearly proven that you need to go to the optician.
-Didn’t you see David? -Yes, of course.
But he had to feel invisible. -How nice.
Good. He was very happy. He smiled that night.
They would put on something to hide, in which they could move.
Let’s see what solutions they chose.
Babben decides who did the best.
-You haven’t seen these. -No.
We start with Marika. Here we’ll see a picture.
Where is Marika in the picture?
I guess she is the bush standing behind the table.
-This bush? -Yes.
Let’s see where Marika was.
-Clever! -She had it on a pole. Smart!
Now let’s look at Ellen.
It looks like this. Where in the picture has Ellen hid?
I guess she is the bump to the left of the tree trunk.
This bump? Then let’s look.
No! Now I want to see her move longer distances.
-Ouch! -A brilliant move.
Then we take a look at Moa's camouflage.
Wow! What the hell ...? Is there any sci-fi?
Next to the stump down to the left, there is a green patch.
-Yes! -Let’s take a look.
-That's great! -It was well guessed.
An entire costume! Check it out!
-Like in "Drömkåken"! [1993 movie] -Yes, very nice.
Then let’s look at Ola’s camouflage.
-Have you lost weight? -Excuse me?
I think he's playing you. He’s standing in the blue suit.
Is this Ola Forssmed? Let’s look at where Ola was.
Oh! Neat! Good!
-How fun! -No ...
-and a double-switch. -Yes.
Last, we’ll see Erik’s camouflage. Can you find him?
This was clever.
Is it the fake stove? -Yes, it looks fake.
-I say the stove. -Here somewhere?
-I don’t recognize it. -No, not really.
Where was Erik?
-Exactly. -Yes!
It is completely different from the other one.
-Stylish. -Well solved, Babben.
-You received many points. -Yes.
Who had the worst camouflage in this sad gang?
Everyone was good, but Ola was rather undercover.
-Yeah, you think so. -Not really camouflage; more a change of role.
-He gets a one. -Then ...
Marika's curtain is difficult to maneuver on public transport.
It was for a picture.
One would disappear in a picture. Then it was great.
On public transport, it’s not the purpose to be invisible and blend in.
-No. -Then you'll get somewhere.
-I'm buying it. Erik gets two points. -Wait wait!
-Proper order. -You looked one-dimensional.
Unfortunately, you get two points.
-Marika gets three points. -Good! Applause!
Then it’s a grass mound against a wood tarp.
It was wet in the tarp, so I was in a water bath.
But personal suffering isn’t counted. You are always suffering.
I give Moa four points.
But you were smart. Five points to Ellen. So be it.
May I...?
Undercover work had a higher standing in Sweden during the 19th century.
So you can't come in like a damp leafy pile.
Is a stove preferred? -Yes, that and drapes.
-Yes, but then you should have called me. -Like Ghostbusters? They’d be scared.
But not for a walking stove?
-People’s faith was strong. -You stood there waiting for the bus.
-You still got two points. -I am satisfied.
It's twice as many as I got.
-How are the scores? -Moa leads with 24 points.
Ola and Erik share second place. Ellen has 17, and Marika 16 points.
What can you win? Well, a wig, a rastafarian hat-
-and a cap in Manchester.
But anything can happen and everything can turn around in the final.
Thanks. -It's time to play the final.
Are you ready? -Ola, read the letter for everyone.
"Take turns saying a five-letter word when the music stops.”
"Don’t repeat words. If you don’t succeed before the music starts, you’re out."
“Each round has words consisting of a new number of letters."
"The competition begins when the music starts."
-Do you have any questions? Let's go! -No, damn it!
When the music stops, Ola says a five-letter word.
Then Marika says a word. If someone fails, they goe out.
-We also change the number of letters. -Oh, oh, oh ... the brain!
-Are you ready? -The brain is boiling.
Marching band, please!
Quantity. [Antal.]
Tongue. [Tunga.]
Lion. [Lejon.]
Tear. [Slita.]
Smooth. [Glatt.]
Spell. [Stava.]
Pocket. [Ficka.]
Sea. [Havet.]
Onions. [Lökens.]
Stop! Erik was wrong. His word had six letters.
-We should change. -Yes when someone goes out.
-Certainly. -Now you did.
Now the music goes faster, and the words must be six letters.
Shrimp. [Räkans.]
Juice. [Saften.]
Balls. [Bollar.]
Pigs. [Grisar.]
Cascade. [Kaskad.]
Skis. [Skidor.]
Curling. [Krulla.]
Fortune teller. [Spådam.]
Snuff. [Snoppa.]
Discs. [Skivor.]
Healthy. [Friska.]
-Christmas hat. [Julhatt.] -Thanks!
-Did you say “Julhatt”? -Yes.
Then you are welcome to sit down.
-Now we say words with seven letters. -No! Wait, stop!
Mother!
-Painter! [Målarens!] -Målarens ... No, that’s too many.
-I said “Målares.” [plural of målarens] -Sit down.
-Listen to it again. -This is exactly what we have done.
-We have come to ... -Fuck.
-Målares. -And we resume.
Now the music goes faster, and we say words with two letters.
One. [En.]
Fell. [Trillade.]
-We can stop. -Sheesh ...
-Wasn’t it eight? Oh, Marika!
I didn’t hear what you said. Didn’t you say eight?
-I thought... -You want to lose!
-I thought, “Trillade ..." -Your...
I am embarrassed.
-Ola wins the final! -Yes!
-It was fair! -Come back down. Thank you, band!
It was an exciting final. Now you’re curious about the result.
Then we'll see. In fourth place come Marika and Ellen.
-Erik came in third place. -I’m pleased with that.
Then it's exciting. Who has won: Ola or Moa?
Ola came first in the final and scored five points.
Moa got only two points, so things may have happened.
But Moa's score was enough. She wins! -Yes!
-Fair! Come on, Moa.
Look, you get all this.
Another amazing episode. What have we learned?
Well, a tiled stove can be camouflage. "Trillade" has more than two letters.
And if you want to build a bed, take plenty of time.
We will soon go to bed. See you next week. Bye!
Trillade!
