This is the live task from S05 E02 of Kongen Befaler ('King Commands' - Norway's version of Taskmaster), featuring an interesting 5-player variation of 8 Out of Ten Cats Does Countdown's recurring game, Carrot in a Box.
I love that they've followed the Alex Horne model of subtle obviousness. Rather than arranging the carrots randomly, they've just gone smallest to largest.
Martin is much more charming though! And he's pretty useless at the other tasks too and doesn't take himself too seriously. Not that I don't like Jon Richardson, he's just a bit annoyingly smarty-pantsy.
Martin absolutely crushed it. He correctly determined who to swap with. Unfortunately for him the hosts then changed the rules, which seems pretty harsh if you ask me
PLEASE tell me the biggest one was _actually_ a sweet potato and that she got no points at all! Would be exactly the kind of psychological sleight of hand that TM would pull, like the "get the bag of salt to the table" task in season 11
@@deanderthal I’m one of them. They messed up the US version so badly and I’m sad they probably won’t ever try again (meaning we will miss out on so many good comedians who would have rocked a good version of it).
@@MrAndyStenz I've avoided US TM because of the bad reviews, what did they screw up so badly? I also would like to see a lot of American comics do a show like this.
The NZ and Norway versions of TM are great! I would love to see this task without the window as I think the audience reactions gave too much away and didn’t allow for the bluffing that could have been possible. But so happy they took this and ran with it. I wonder if the UK version would get in trouble with Cats if they tried to do it on Channel4 🤣
I like the way you just called it Cats, which makes it sound like actual cats are playing Carrot in a Box (and get upset when others play it without them). 😆
Having seen 'Carrot in a Box' on 8 Out of 10 Cats (bloody hilarious!) this was a different typical 'Taskmaster' task, that I also have watched most series of. This was really funny and thoroughly enjoyed. Aussie fan! 😂👍
As Lord Greg Davies might have said, It is often the way in TaskMaster, the game's not finished until you've opened the box. Hope Martin comes out on top somewhere.
That was very funny. 😂 An inspired adaptation of EOOTC's and EOOTCDC's _"Carrot in a Box"_ 👍👍 That adaptation, like the original _"Carrot in a Box"_ can be played again and again. Brilliant! 🔆🔆
Gillar både den Svenska, och Brittiska versionen, RU-vid bestämde sig för att rekommendera detta, och jag tänkte gulerötter i låda, hur kul kan det vara? Riktigt kul visade det sig! :D
I speak not a word of Swedish, but everything translates perfectly with just a little help from subtitles. The comedians really come across as individuals, just as they do in the UK. I am not surprised that Taskmaster has universal appeal. Alex Horne is brilliant !
have you ever compared one items size with another different items size before? because that's what they did, they compared that carrots size with a sweet potato...
There's a channel here called Neil Talks.. He has reacted to the whole of season 1 which has a great casting including a few of the men from Ylvis.. Most people know Ylvis for their song 'what does the fox say' He reacts to the full episodes and doesn't always stop and start so there's a nice flow to it.. You won't regret it.. The shows as good as the original UK version in my eyes
In pretty much all rankings, norwegian is consistently ranked among the top ten easiest languages to learn, coming from english. Just do a youtube search of "easiest languages to learn" and see for yourself. EDIT: The reason why i did not provide a link, is because otherwise it might look like i'm cherrypicking by finding that one list norwegian is on. But no, it's on the vast majority of them.
