i'm swedish and i watch this show with my family and let me tell you it was a WILD moment when he started singing that song, the entire room just went HUH?????
I’m fluent in Norwegian as a 2nd/3rd language, and I’m aware that Norwegian, Swedish, and Danish are all mutually comprehensible (at least in theory and in writing), so this was really interesting for me in a different way: I could understand the word’s in Ardal’s singing slightly better than Fred’s speaking, as sung Swedish is the exact same as sung Norsk (Bokmål, at least). My parents, who watch taskmaster separately had fun interrogating me over text about the Swedish contest lmao.
Ardal learning Swedish drinking songs, while drinking, is just being Irish, as is his ability to recall them when the need arose. He is, and always has been, a brilliantly funny man!
Not knowing how to do much at all but inexplicably knowing a Swedish drinking song feels like something from Father Ted. I mean, Dougal knows Norwegian Eurovision hopefuls, who says he doesn't know Swedish drinking songs?
Im Swedish and I’m honestly very impressed by the first guy’s pronunciation. Swedish is not the easiest language to learn , especially cause we have 3 extra letters (å, ä, ö) that if you are not Swedish or Scandinavian are pretty hard to pronounce- my mom is Cuban and has lived in Sweden for over 30 years and still has a hard time with it😆 He did amazing.
Swedish is actually an easy language to learn for those who speak english natively. Some pronounciation can be difficult ofc as with all foreign languages but you'd be surprised by how quickly brits can learn swedish. :)
@@RIXRADvidz Maybe for some people. I was only trying to point out there are people who don't listen to certain types of music. I'm sure some of Prince's music will appear on various Greatest Hits compilations for many years to com. I recently saw the clip where he joined in the playing of 'My Guitar Gently Weeps" in the tribute to George Harrison concert.
Australia's Green Tree Frogs have been recorded eating a rat. There are some very big, very carnivorous, frogs that will eat anything living thing close enough to chomp!
To be fair, boa constrictors eat things that are larger than them so that isn’t a good standard of measure, additionally rats have varied sizes as adults much less as pups.
@@gav2759 For the sake of accuracy: Blueberries begin as a light spring green. As they ripen they can take on purple-almost magenta shades. As the green fades you see more and more blue till they are ripe when there is no purple left on the outside and they are completely blue. The flesh is green and the juice of a blueberry remains a deep purple. Blueberries can be used as a natural purple dye for food and even clothing. -Likewise, blackberries are black on the outside, but their juice is a pinkish purple.
@@AmaranthyneWell there you are. All that adds up to utter confusion for the poor little blighters. I'll wager it is an identity crisis, that is at the heart of their inherent despondency.
I think he's singing the end off Kiss I Sängen. These are the lyrics I found (with härligt where Ardal sings roligt): Kiss i sängen och ha det bra ligga lite och fundera. Varm i stjärten som en sommardag Jag tror jag kissar lite mera. Tjo rittarej, tjo rittarej för du får inte kasta skit på mig. Tjo rittarej, tjo rittarej för då kastar jag tillbaka - en kaka. Å grannens piga vill jag inte ha för hon har koskit mellan tårna, hon står i lagoorn varena dá å drar i spenorna på korna. Det är härligt att vara full å stå mot gärsgårn å ragla, å supa ner sej å ramla kull la la la la la la la la ............
Well, it is bluey purple to be fair. Many flowers we call blue are more purple or violet than they are blue. True blue is a rare color in living things.

Wow that would have been cool!!!
Would have loved to see all the reactions 😂😂
You too feel a bit of patriotic pride coming on when the Swede is involved in a task? xD
He was surprisingly good at Swedish pronunciations. I mean, horrible but surprisingly good.

Ardal was such an awesome contestant, completely incompetent but somehow did really well in multiple tasks
Also imo possibly the funniest studio contestant of all the series....
These are some of my favourite moments in the show: second only to when deeply intelligent people utterly lose the plot.
All right there Ted
Definitely the cheekiest contestant to the other compeditors.
And THAT is the genius of TM.

Ardal's song story is almost a Bob Mortimer level of story. Ridiculous but completely believable.
It was a proper Swedish drinking song - a shit one, but at least a genuine one.
You should check out his Christmas appearance on WILTY - he tells a story that's even more unbelievable than this one.
@@pencilled_robin I don't think I've seen that one, hard to tell with so many but I'll check it out. Cheers.
Bon Mortimer's stories are not believable at all but still somehow true.
Rain was an utter genius joke
It was so good!!
i still don’t understand
@@UncleSpenkor It's a Prince song
The first purple thing I could think of was "Prince"
Yeah it took me a moment to go, when do you see purple rain- … son of a
I expected Ardal to be a great contestant and I'm so glad he even exceeded my expectations
Ardal, Judi and Bridget are 3 of the funniest contestants on taskmaster in my opinion. This is the best series.
Normal People: Get so drunk they don't remember the night.
Ardal: Get so drunk you spontaneously learn Swedish.
I watched this series excitedly for Ardal and he did not disappoint. A legend since _Father Ted_ and always the best laughs.
That Swedish song was one of the best performances of the show
5:52 Ardal's face and pause reading "knob" is just perfect.

Rain. That was brilliant.
it was the first thing that i thought of
@@LednacekZ I had rain as well.
Chris Ramsey has come a long way from looking like a tween favorite pop star while playing 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown
Ikr? I didn't recognize him till he started talking.
Right? The first episode I was constantly thinking "I could have sworn I've heard this guy say 'acids' before".
6:32 "Greg's face sometimes" her voice there cracked me up😭😭
loved that he had barney, and Bridget put rain
That purple one was so difficult! Hahaha!
You could argue that "veins" could count for "Gregs face sometimes", but then you would also have to count "knob"
I love Ardal wearing english school teacher shirts
Bravo! Purple rain
I'm sure there must be some people out there that have never heard of Prince........

Purple Rain Was an AWESOME answer
I'm really confused by how attracted I am to Ardal.
Don't be, I have been smitten for many, many years...nice to find someone else like minded! lol
Yeah he has an endearing quizzicalness about him.....
0:50 hahaha Alex lost it
The Swede is back!!!!!!!!!
Love how everyone thought Bridget was stupid/ cheesy with rain, then got it
Rain?? What?? Pause... Genius.
5:00 Great delivery
I was surprised that "people eater" didn't make it on any purple list...
Ah, but was it a people eater that was purple or does it eat purple people? A line in the song suggests the latter...
GODDAMN!!! He is magnicent!
Ardal is my spirit animal.
The one of the tweenies made me laugh and brought back childhood memories 😊
That last game looks fun
Blueberries are technically blue, green, and a purple/pink.
Disappointed nobody put 'People Eater' - maybe I'm too old?
Blueberries are indeed purple?!! Had to google that.
this video couldn't have ended in a more random place
My first thought, "...but rain isn't purple........................oh...OHHHHHHH!"
Ted, I’m going mad
🐄🐮This cow is smaller and that one is far away 😉
Yes. Blueberries are purple not blue.
Purple rain was so cleaver
blueberries ARE purple
Rain got me :D :D
"Rain." Brilliant.
Surely one of the teletubbies would have been one of the answers
They could have just took the tablet into the caravan.
The Swedish part 😁
Bullfrogs are absolutely bigger than rats, fuckers might eat rats for all I know. Also blueberries are actually purple, so that wasnt wrong.

Blueberries are indeed purple. The name comes from their melancholic disposition.

Does anyone know the whole lyric to the Swedish drinking song? If you do, could you write it down here? Would love to be able to sing it 🥰😍🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🥰😍
I think he's singing the end off Kiss I Sängen. These are the lyrics I found (with härligt where Ardal sings roligt):
Kiss i sängen och ha det bra
ligga lite och fundera.
Varm i stjärten som en sommardag
Jag tror jag kissar lite mera.
Tjo rittarej, tjo rittarej
för du får inte kasta skit på mig.
Tjo rittarej, tjo rittarej
för då kastar jag tillbaka - en kaka.
Å grannens piga vill jag inte ha
för hon har koskit mellan tårna,
hon står i lagoorn varena dá
å drar i spenorna på korna.
Det är härligt att vara full
å stå mot gärsgårn å ragla,
å supa ner sej å ramla kull

@@Fortunalux Thank you so much for your help 🙏 I will try and learn it 🤭😉👍
Four legged jamaican birds? I think she's ....jamaican that up. Sorry, I had to lol
Rain, clever
Don't mind me I'm just here for 1:30 / 2:12
BLUEBERRIES ARE FUCKING PURPLE!
Well, it is bluey purple to be fair. Many flowers we call blue are more purple or violet than they are blue. True blue is a rare color in living things.
Was looking for this comment, thank you!
Blue means SHARKS IN IT
BRAYDEN CAN'T EAT BLUE

Blueberries are absolutely purple. Terrible name for them.
Rain 👍
Who came for dont hug me iam scared?

Purple rain is a closing song!

He does not speak it. He knows some words and a lovely song.

Perhaps she’s bad under pressure, though that does seem to be the case.

i feel like anymore they have 1 stellar guest and a bunch of filler each season.
tbh, this season's contestants were all pretty great in their own ways
I didn’t know any of them, but it was a pretty great season.
Definitely felt like it was going downhill with series 6,8,9,10 but the last 3 series have been good. But how Mike and Chris didn’t win I don’t know
@@elliott1346 They didn't get as many points as some of the other contestants. Hope that clears it up.
