Well..... lol.... the easiest way to blush is to get turned on so lol. And hes handsome! Id have had a hard time not getting a lil dirty in his ear lol. Whispering brings out everyones wildside i feel like lol
The blond, curly comedian guy is the absolute winner of the blushing competition - unlucky for him he was supposed to make the Swede blush, not himself.
Swedes are pretty cool. I say that as a Dane, and considering the hundreds of years our countries have been frenemies that is a big thing. Swedes are pretty cool, actually.
As a person who blushes a lot I kept thinking they need to make him laugh if embarrassment isn’t working. He didn’t blush out of embarrassment when he got nuzzled, it’s because he was laughing
I think he only was not embarrassed about what *others* did, only discomfited (if you can say that?). When the woman made him think of three breasts, he was embarrassed by 1) liking the thought 2) seeing it so vividly 3) already blushing, so he blushed more.
I would have said to do a handstand for a couple seconds. Ive bursted capillaries on my face holding myself in a handstand position for like one minute
It’s interesting they tried to embarrass him to make him blush. I wouldn’t of even thought of that, when I hear blushing I think romance. I would of tried sweet talking him and complimenting him.
must have come from the cold… you have to rely on communal reciprocity to survive and even if you get rich you cant really ball out like you could in LA lol
One thing that most participants seemed to miss is that embarrassment is not the only way to make someone blush. I believe that being flirtatious or giving compliments can be another approach to achieving this. Many of us humans struggle with accepting compliments, so I think it would be a more effective way to make someone blush.
I would consider making him run or lift something heavy but it would not be as funny as they did :) "Roisin used actual science" well that is somethin you do not hear often ! :) I love how that girl is chilled and funny.
You rarely blush from someone getting too close, when you are not sexually attracted to them at all. So all the uncomfortable advances had little chance of success. If a gender he was attracted to had made advances and it made him imagine more, that might have made him blush. Making him imagine something that he would like, but that he felt a bit ashamed and surprised, though also amused, by thinking of, is a far better way, so the "would you fancy three breasts" option was good - also better than just stripping or making advances. It's his own thoughts that make him blush.
They should use me in one of these and make it “make this person with uncontrollable blushing syndrome stop blushing” lol I’m watching this like I’d be a tomato just walking into the room
@@ImNotQualifiedToSayThisBut Well, these are some of things that Swedes would find the most embarrassing. Swedes aren't the most extroverted of people, and most won't dance unless there's alcohol involved. They don't want to stand out, and they don't want to be noticed for the wrong reason. Also, people might laugh at them. Being accused of racism will fluster almost any Swede, as being a racist is seen as a very bad thing. I think it's also tied up with the national identity in some way. Idc. Interpersonal confrontation is obviously embarrassing for Swedes, since they tend to want to agree and find common ground on everything... Even when it is utterly impossible. So if you want to embarrass a Swede, accusing them of being racist is pretty much the way to go. (Forcing someone to dance while sober is harder.)
This was the hardest episode to watch EVER!!! They should do that to someone else and make him watch. He would definitely be embarrassed just like I am right now!!!
Ok based on the definition of blush, a hefty workout would do the trick. I’m also very white and go beet red when working out. Have him do 100 burpees :)
@@88marome Hur gammal är du? Unga idag kanske inte känner till Falukorvsscenen men om du är 30 eller äldre borde du känna till den även om du inte sett den.
I have been intimate with a swede. I kid you not make a swede blush is near possible. Red yes but blush no. I was told i was the one he hated the least. That is a complement. Im not joking.
I def would have kissed him. Cause even if I lost, at least I got a kiss out of it. However, those two guys getting very close to his face made me so uncomfortable
Romesh seems like the kind of person who would chew on canned fish and raw garlic just before talking to another person mere inches away from their face and then look at the camera and say, "did you get it?"
I so enjoyed seeing that Fred was more amused than embarrassed by most of the things they tried.
Well it's kinda like knowing that someone's going to try and make you laugh. It makes it so much harder
At points it felt like some people misunderstood the task as "sexually harass a swede"
Well..... lol.... the easiest way to blush is to get turned on so lol. And hes handsome! Id have had a hard time not getting a lil dirty in his ear lol. Whispering brings out everyones wildside i feel like lol
Here I, as a Swede, am just shouting at them to compliment him 😂
Just a little "gud va fina ögon du har" and its over
@@user-ty6wj1fy1r are you drunk?
EXACTLY! It was so painful... I thought they'd immediately start flirting.
Ooh good idea!
Exactly.
Why would nudity, sex or showers (?!) make someone blush?
The blond, curly comedian guy is the absolute winner of the blushing competition - unlucky for him he was supposed to make the Swede blush, not himself.
Josh seems like the sweetest guy.
Taskmaster is lucky to have Fred as a guest star. Again and again. A hit every time.
"Swedish man getting sexually harassed on camera"
5:23 the origin of the famous "powerful homoeroticism, I really enjoyed it"
Swedish Fred seems like a really cool person to have as a friend.
As opposed to "Special Fred."
+ he's real hot
He may never laugh at your jokes but he will be a great friend

Ah make him laugh until he gets red in the face. The could have also choked him.
@@connectingthedots100 well red from choking is not blushing

No...
Look at me.
Yes...

That's the same thing though? People blush at romantic things precisely because they're enbarassed.
@@junbh2 it’s a different kind of embarrassment though. It’s good embarrassment vs bad embarrassment.
I am Swedish and I can tell you, that would indeed work on most Swedes.
It's really easy to make a swede blush. Just shower them with compliments. It makes us really uncomfortable and flustered
Exactly!!! Just compliment, my god
Should have made Fred compliment himself saying how great he is. We swedes hate bragging about ourselves.

I'd just make him do jumping jacks, a lot of people go red after doing them for a while.
@@nicjoy4407 That's pretty smart. Also, he's a Swede. Just invade his personal space and it should be a done deal haha Saying this as a Swede
"Will you do whatever I ask you to do?"
"Probably not"
The greatest tragedy of taskmaster is that we will never get gregg as a contestent.
nah they could they could do a episode where they get everytask master from every countries version of it. and have them compete
@@emeraldbonsai i've seen some of the other taskmasters.. none of them are close to gregg
@@seldom_bucket
I think New Zealand's could be as much fun as him, in his own way.
@@OriginalPiMan yeah he's deffo the best other taskmaster i've seen, he's got the right vibe but comedicly not on greggs level.
I hope Fred gets paid very, very well for his appearances on Taskmaster. 🤣
I 100% thought someone was simply gonna pinch his cheeks
I can’t be the only one who would have asked if I could leave the room and find some blush to apply
There has to be a Make Up Artist on set somewhere.
For Josh it could've been "Make yourself blush"
i will never get sick of this task. makes me laugh every time
This was a classic,
Man love this show, just gets better, and better everytime,
I busted out laughing when he started with "have you ever had sex" like he's a 16yo playing never have I ever
Goodness me, i remember this vividly. Series one has a special place in my heart
I love how the contestants ended up making themselves uncomfortable lol
One they knew not to give to Rhod Gilbert 😂
Good thinking from the last woman! I was thinking the entire time - ask him to do a headstand to get all the blood in his head!
God, Fred the Swede is hot.
God: "I am pretty proud of him, too!" [blushes]
Roisin, the only one using logic
He is such a good sport!
Fred is truly our national treasure
Just tell him him a nice genuine compliment! ❤❤❤
Josh just told the whole world he fancies Claudia Winkleman.
Get in line, ya little West Country Hobbit!
I’d start to blush by any stranger just looking at me lol
Knowing the task, I immediately thought about talking about him, make him talk about himself, and flatter him a lot.
I would consider making him run or lift something heavy but it would not be as funny as they did :) "Roisin used actual science" well that is somethin you do not hear often ! :) I love how that girl is chilled and funny.
Still the Best TV Show on Television,
He looked like a Neil Patrick Harris template
Interesting that Claudia Winkleman was referenced on the show numerous times before her participation in New Year's Treat II

Idk I caught myself blushing at some gestures even though I am not attracted to the person, quite the opposite, just out of flattery
That’s not true. If you have anxiety and someone invades your personal space it might cause you to blush even though you aren’t attracted to them.
@@Shewas-kathybates So most of the depend on him having anxiety. He apparently hadn't, so they failed.
@@cnj67 Yes I think so. He seemed self assured.
If making him go red was sufficient, someone should have just tried to choke him. I feel Rhod Gilbert would have done that.
Thats a flush
"You look lonely. I can fix that."
Åh fy tusan, stackars sate. Ja det är inte lätt att vara svensk alla gånger! Starkt jobbat!
both josh and rosain(?) - schwedish pershon
Róisín I believe
...which is surprisingly accurate how the sh sound in "person" is pronounced in Swedish.
Fred is a legend
Lots of Fred this week! Is it his birthday or is he coming back in series 16?
How does Alex have such access to Swedish people?!
His basement is big enough for a couple.
We're all over the internet, and some of us watch the show? 🤷♀️
We are everywhere u just dont know it
In sweden we have abandoned god. Now we follow Alex
They should use me in one of these and make it “make this person with uncontrollable blushing syndrome stop blushing” lol I’m watching this like I’d be a tomato just walking into the room
Seriously I start blushing when a person looks at me (not even an attractive person)
As a Brit who has been living in Sweden I am disappointed there was no sober dancing, accused racism or interpersonal confrontation employed
Nailed it.
Can you explain

I wonder if anyone had make up somewhere, they could have made hi blush that way? That is a house they film in, isn't it?
That’s not a blush it’s a flush
THIS!
sometimes watching new seasons makes me forget how raw and random the set and the shots are in season 1, do you know what i'm saying?
bro looks the most swedish a swedish person could be
I think the fastest way would be to heat him up. Use blankets, a steaming pot of water under his face, gloves, etc. easy blush.
Or shower him with compliments. Swedes get really flustered when you compliment them
I'd immediately, truthfully say "you have beautiful eyes" and I'd win, I mean for real though the deepest green I've seen!
I would have just asked him to describe the last time he shat himself, and then ask if his mum knew about it
The way I would just sincerely compliment him lol
Gosh, I find that man so attractive.
aha good strategy
awesome NEED Fred Evey Season!!!!
Yes agree 💯
As a Swede, I love when Fred is in the tasks
I mean they should embarrass him, not themselves. Maybe ask him more questions.
Compliments dude!
Anyone else saw the thumbnail and immediately heard "let the bodies hit the Floooooor"?
My favourite task so far😂
As a swede: 😂😂😂
READ HIS BROWSER HISTORY
These guys are projecting so hard
Should've made him sing and dance
She was a genius!!
“Powerful homoeroticism” was season 1???????
Ok based on the definition of blush, a hefty workout would do the trick. I’m also very white and go beet red when working out. Have him do 100 burpees :)
Frank Skinner was amazing here
Nah, his "jokes" were outdated, misogynistic tripe & not remotely funny
@@Nushka23 In your opinion.
@@chriswade9616 Did I say otherwise?
one may not make a swedish person blush but for us its a rather simple task making others blush
No one thought to compliment the guy??
As a Dane I know this could be the easiest thing ever or highly impossible
hur fan kunde han inte skrattat när gubben drog upp skjortan🤣
Vad var det som var roligt med det?
3:07 - Holy cow, I'm so uncomfortable watching this.
this episode was amazing.....
They should have asked him what he thought about the Falu-sausage scen from Fäbojäntan and if he said he hasn´t seen it he´s a liar!
I’m Swedish and I have no idea what that is

The debut of Fred the Swede!
I wish someone would have pretended not to see him. 😂
I simply would have asked him to do a handstand :D
Honestly, I would’ve just told him to do some laps around the room until he got tired or the timer went out.
Romesh totally made him blush....am I the only one who saw his face all red?!?!?!?!?
I would have flirted icl
ahhh Fred the Swedish Persian... our favourite!
3:55 I would've turn into a tomato lmaoo
I have been intimate with a swede. I kid you not make a swede blush is near possible. Red yes but blush no. I was told i was the one he hated the least. That is a complement. Im not joking.
Feels like borderline sexual misconduct
Someone save fredrik
Why did no one just rub their hands on his cheeks if fysical contact was allowed?
The cheeks on his face!
I def would have kissed him. Cause even if I lost, at least I got a kiss out of it.
However, those two guys getting very close to his face made me so uncomfortable
It's weird, watching them all while they still had their humanity.
No cuz my Swedish friend will blush if you compliment her
I can easily ask people dirty questions so I would definitely win this task
Nah. You wouldn't. You're supposed to make him blush, remember?
I'd understandably be concerned about being sent to HR😭
that's not something to be proud of.
Except they tried that and it didn't work
Yeah science!
2:09 😂😂
fuck sake i laughed as soon as romesh walked in
Easy. Just ask him: vill du gifta dig med mig?
