Imagine being trapped in a room with Sweden's greatest comedians,

all trying their hardest to make you laugh.

There's one tiny catch: you're not allowed to laugh.

For the first time in this unique experiment,

some of Sweden's funniest people compete

in making each other laugh.

No holds barred, half a million is at stake,

but keep a straight face. One giggle

and you are out. This is LOL, Last One Laughing.

Our brave contestants are...

Heavyweight almost-champion and Scania's answer to The Rock...

Anders Jansson.

A real fighter, who never misses a punch.

Vanna Rosenberg.

The criminally funny and completely lethal...

Per Andersson.

The Hollywood wife of Ängelholm...

Louise Nordahl.

And from the West Coast, the sly competition addict...

Clara Henry.

If the bearded lady was a man...

CHEAP JOKES (ACCEPTING VENMO)

Özz Nûjen.

The most charming diva in Swedish entertainment.

Edvin Törnblom.

The comedy legend who can make a jersey barrier cry from laughter...

Robert Gustafsson.

She gets funnier every year. Sussie Eriksson.

So you understand she's not a young one.

And the man who gave "bad hair day" a face...

Anders "Ankan" Johansson.

LAST ONE

Let the party begin.

LAUGHING

For the next six hours,

our contestants will be locked in here

in the most surveilled room in Sweden.

There are cameras everywhere.

Literally everywhere.

And also hundreds of humorous weapons.

The contestants will do everything to make each other laugh.

The rules are simple: no laughter, no giggle, not even a smile.

Of course, I will keep tabs on them.

From this room I can see the tiniest giggle.

There are no blind spots, so they can't hide.

Our first contestant is here.

Let's get started.

I don't want to miss this ride.

Okay.

What is he bringing? Is he moving in?

It's going down.

My name is Per Johan Andersson.

I'm a jester's cap.

This is it.

I brought noodles. Money...

-Money? -They know nothing.

You are competing for them, not bringing them.

Damn.

Hey, hey!

Hello?

They're hiding.

The sausages are here. A sausage to go.

I'm a bit nervous.

The expectations are enormous. I have no idea...

what awaits me.

A small stage too.

There's no business...

I'm gonna nail this. I'm on a roll.

Costumes and stuff, too.

If you play the game...

you do it to win it.

Gigantic toothbrush in there.

He's a bit nervous.

He talks constantly.

He always does.

How nice.

I'll just get comfortable in the meantime.

Maybe rub my dick on something.

Six hours... Maybe I'll get a psychosis.

Doing messed up things.

I feel it coming on now! Come on!

Is he talking to a cheetah?

What if it's only me?

Imagine that. No one else showed up.

Is that Anders? How fun.

My name is Anders Jansson.

I haven't prepared...

COMPETING FOR WWF

How do you prepare for something like this?

Nice style.

Like a social worker who slept with a car mechanic.

I knew that there was a person in there,

since I was the second one there.

I was curious about who it was.

Then you save five steps.

No! No, no!

-No! Yes! -Yes!

"Damned Per", I thought.

I always think that when we meet.

"Who do you not want to be in there?" "Per Andersson", was my reply.

-Did you say that? -Yes.

Then I know I will lose in 20 seconds.

How long have you been here? Four hours?

Yes. I rubbed my dick on everything.

Everything.

-Is that yours? -Yes.

-No? -Yes.

-Why do you always exaggerate? -Exactly.

I feel like this is going to go badly.

But it will be fun...

COMPETING FOR UNHCR

...for three and a half seconds before I lose.

I am not too nervous.

Focused, excited, but up for it.

That is a painting of Eva Röse.

It is, isn't it?

Don't rub your dick on it.

Hi!

-Not you guys! -Oh, how nice!

Very unpleasant, I'd say.

Clara comes in and you feel, like,

"Right, there's a competition too which is about to start."

-Are you good at not laughing? -No, I'm screwed.

-Yes. -Yes.

I am Anders "Ankan" Johansson.

I have a funny body.

COMPETING FOR UNHCR

I feel like I could win. I'll take this.

It depends on who the others are.

If there are people you don't want to see.

Yes indeed!

This is just getting worse.

-Ankan is like a Swedish Goofy. -Hi!

He's funny just in the way that he looks. I can laugh just by looking at him.

I was both happy and concerned,

because Ankan can easily make me laugh.

There's something about his appearance that just screams humor.

Hello!

Seeing Per was a nightmare.

He's so terribly funny

and unpredictable.

And he is also, sorry, Per...

You look so alert.

...sick in the head.

I like smoking sausages in my chicken hat.

Hello?

My name is Edvin Törnblom and I've been up and coming for five years.

I wonder how long I will keep being that.

I'm so nervous.

I'm totally panicking.

COMPETING FOR REGNBÅGSFONDEN

Hello? What's going on?

Hi!

Hi. I thought you were going to scare me.

We thought that too.

Hiding can be a lot of fun,

but bad hiding never turns out well.

Why just walk up?

It was just terrible.

What's wrong with you?

I want to say

that there's nothing more difficult than making other comedians laugh.

They just laugh at themselves.

Hi!

Now Sussie is here!

I'm awful at containing my laughter.

COMPETING FOR MY SPECIAL DAY

God, what door is opening?

When I meet everyone I quickly realize

that this will be really difficult.

-How damned nice! -How will this turn out?

I'm dying.

I was so starstruck by Sussie. My God!

I'm her biggest fan. She's so funny.

Wonderful Sussie,

I'm so happy with my gang.

I'm Özz Nûjen and I'm a laugh whore.

COMPETING FOR TERRAFEM

Everything to laugh.

I might regret this forever.

-Next one now? -Yes.

-We'll hide there. -Yes, hide!

Is anyone coming?

Damn.

You bastards! Hi!

What the hell?

No. No, no.

Who brought velvet couches?

I can't take that.

-Why not? -I get goosebumps. It's my weakness.

-If you touch it... -I get...

He has velvet panic.

How fun. He has that. He's not going to be able to sit.

Everything is velvet! God damn it!

Now Vanna is coming!

I'm excited.

There's an extreme excitement and delight.

The worst thing that could happen...

COMPETING FOR UNICEF

...is if I get a laughing fit that does not end.

No. When Vanna entered, I was a little concerned.

She has mannerisms that make it hard not to laugh.

Someone's coming. Who is that? Louise!

I've built my career on being someone else.

COMPETING FOR ECPAT

Here we go.

I have a weakness for other Scanian comedians.

Here goes your career.

The two people who would be the worst to meet in there

are Johan Glans and Anders Jansson.

You need to get a haircut.

-Oh, wow! -Hi!

-Hi! -Hi!

Anders Jansson... okay. This is going to be rough.

I'm so happy that we are all here,

-but I'm also quite anxious. -Yes.

Look at them. I am so pleased. But there's one left.

I bet a thousand on Magdalena Andersson!

Last one on the chopping block! Here he comes.

The funniest person in Sweden is... Robert Gustafsson.

COMPETING FOR CHILDHOOD FOUNDATION

That is one of my favorites.

He will stay for long.

In the elevator, I feel a faint smell.

It's an aftershave, a man's perfume.

I'll tattoo my soft palate if Özz Nûjen is not down there.

-Are you ticklish? You're really ticklish. -A little. Just a little.

Oh, my God!

No!

-You good? -I felt your smell in there.

-It was... -It was terrible.

Pineapple and tar.

This isn't good. Louise, we are so screwed.

Yes. I'm fucked.

I hoped it wouldn't be Robert.

Hi!

Damn! Of course Robert Gustafsson would be here.

You're just thinking, "Now it can't be worse."

Yes, it will be.

Then he enters. God damn it.

He's a damn legend.

Indeed. I was in high school

when his comedy troupe made it. I knew every sketch.

I look up to him and now I'm thinking, "Damn, now I'm screwed."

Right now I feel very tense, excited,

nervous, and...

at the same time quite indifferent.

You can't influence anything.

There.

Fate will decide here.

-Cheers, everybody! -Cheers!

May the funniest person lose right away.

What a dream gang!

It's a really good mix.

It's the crème de la crème.

With this competition, I'm screwed.

-So much fun. -Yes.

Bye.

What is...

What an...

-What an entry. -Hi, welcome.

-Hi! -Gather up.

You know what the deal is.

In the next six hours, you have a simple task.

You are to make each other laugh.

But you may not laugh yourselves.

In my room, where I'm sitting,

I will follow every move.

I have a red and a green button.

When I press the green button, you will hear this.

When you hear that sound, the game's on. No more laughter.

I also have a red button.

Then we pause the game.

What happens if you laugh just a bit? Like...

If you laugh a bit or simply smile, you're out.

If I see a laughter,

I will enter with one of these two cards.

A yellow card is a warning.

Like as in "get it together".

Another warning is a red card.

Then it's game over, and the career is ending.

You can hide. If I have a towel over my head, you don't see anything.

Smart.

Really smart. If you hide, or if you're too passive,

you also get a warning.

But you also have cards.

A white and a black joker card.

Let's say Per pulls his white joker card out.

Then all contestants need to direct Per

their full attention for three minutes.

It can be a good time if you have something to show.

The other card is a black joker card.

It lets you give a challenge to a friend.

You grab it, read it, and perform the challenge on the card.

-Understood? -Yes.

I have two cards and you guys have two cards. Okay?

Don't forget what you are competing for.

Half a million Swedish crowns,

that you get to donate to your chosen charity.

But above all, beyond the honor and glory,

you will get the Champion's belt.

Wow.

Which you can carry...

around the body part of your choice,

so to say.

Now, my friends, I'll leave you

with my final words. I'm so happy that it is you guys.

You are hand picked from the most beautiful tree.

Good luck. Do you know the best thing?

I get to laugh.

-Bye! -Bye, Eva!

-When it goes green, it's serious. -It is.

I'm all warm.

It can be traumatic not getting to laugh, in a way.

-Has it started? -No. Relax.

-Does it start now? -Calm down!

I don't know how this will be ending.

I will lose first.

It feels so scary.

Now there can be a sound and blink green at any time.

I will find it really hard not to laugh.

It's what the show is about.

Make sure to laugh now!

I'm not ready for this.

What have I gotten myself into?

I am nervous now. For real.

There are 40 cameras everywhere.

Where do I go?

Last laugh!

Let's go.

Okay. Go for it.

God!

It's so silent.

My motto is, "Don't you laugh, old lady."

"Could you please not laugh, ma'am?"

That's my working plan.

Does anybody want a drink?

Please. Something really strong.

I want to die of sweat and anxiety for not being allowed to laugh.

I'm stressed, I'm panicking.

I'm terrified of smiling accidentally.

The feelings are all over the place.

My only idea for these six hours

is doing a jump start.

Is that your props box?

Ladies and gentlemen!

Kids!

Did he have two children in the bag?

The bastard.

This won't work for six hours.

This reminds me of the opening ceremony in Munich, 1972.

Not one reaction. Nobody laughed.

That was what I prepared.

That was that idea.

I'll Venmo ten grand!

-Bye! -Thanks for that.

They have iPads, they'll be fine.

He thought that one of us would be laughing.

My strategy is like in a game of cards.

You don't know what's going to happen.

Damn!

What are you doing?

I'm interviewing people with a sausage,

since I want to play a role.

Since this is so torturous and long lasting, that was my plan.

Leave me alone!

You're driving me insane!

Robert Gustafsson...

They don't want to reply.

It's so corny and wonderfully childish.

Is that a problem?

It's one of the best actors in Sweden.

One of our biggest comedians walks around with a sausage,

interviewing people. It's so corny.

Walk away, Ankan! He can't take it!

Are the sounds a part of the game?

It's funny. It really is.

You know what they're doing?

Do you know Twister?

Yes, a band, Twister Sister.

-Don't tell me you've done it before! -Sorry?

It means that I have eaten the other contestants' boogers.

Robert has been picking peoples' noses...

And you ate it?

Now I'm close to bursting.

-Do you want anything to drink? -I have some.

-Go away, Robert! -They don't want to reply...

It won't work. I have to check another thing.

Robert is a professional. He is prepared,

he's on top of things and won't laugh at himself on stage,

which I love to do.

It's a skill to be...

focused and analytical enough to look at something without laughing,

but at the same time to make others laugh.

Few people possess those traits.

Know a good joke?

What animal has the hardest genitalia?

-I don't know. -The bat.

-Good one. -Yeah.

-It's one of the funnier ones. -Yes, it's great.

-I've got one. -Yes?

Do you know why... I can't even tell it without... No.

-Yes, come back and tell it. -I'm digging my own grave.

-Please do. -If I come up with something new

I can start laughing at myself.

They have dressed for the game.

They have the same colors as...

The colors of the game.

I have a knee injury, I can't join.

Do you have bad knees? Why?

-I'm not going to tell you here. -Okay.

Is it a mental injury?

-Have you seen anyone with one? -Is it an imagined knee injury?

Exactly.

What a level...

-Is this real? -Yes.

Do you know how you know if it is real? You...

I had methods to keep from laughing.

But they're not working, so I can only run.

What is Ankan, "The Duck", doing?

You can't walk around with a duck!

Ankan, like Per, is a force of nature.

But he can easily laugh himself.

-Oh, darling! Girl! -Drag!

-Drag bitch. -What was the difference before?

There was none.

There was none.

There was none.

Louise is so funny. My dream is that she'll imitate me,

not just like, "Hi, my name is Edvin..."

Everybody does it like that.

Do you have an impersonation of me?

Fuck you if you do that, Louise.

-I don't think I can. -No.

You can try.

My strongest trait as a comedian is that I can imitate people.

"Do you have a..." My voice was too light.

A general gay impression.

Like... that?

Thanks.

Have you been here?

-Anyone wants a cracker? -No.

Anyone wants a cracker in their underwear?

-I'd love that! -Okay, nice.

Per and me will have crackers in our underwear.

As soon as Per and Anders are speaking,

the pants go down, mentally and verbally.

Going commando?

Without underwear?

Yes.

-Are you? -It's like a dandruff party.

For six hours.

-See? Underneath the underwear. -Yes.

Stop it!

It's not funny at all.

I'm in.

Here we go.

That's good.

-Oh, God... -Why did you break it?

Anders broke it.

So many vowels.

-To think that there are so many. -Yes, unbelievable.

There are vowel choirs.

They only sing the vowels.

I was in a consonant choir. It wasn't good.

I'm a mezzosoprano.

Wow, okay.

This is a sensitive situation.

There can be laughter here.

It's not useful when singing consonants.

-Hard or soft consonants? -Hard ones.

-The staccato choir? -Many "T", "K"...

I almost started laughing.

My favorite consonant is "K".

You use the stomach.

"K" is the funniest consonant.

So.

It's so stupid.

God.

The recorder is my nemesis.

-Yes. -No. Stop it.

I can't handle it.

-Me neither. -You feel it too.

Finally, Sussie found her niche.

She's found her inner child.

Want to see the deleted scenes from Ronja?

I wish I could play the flute.

-Are you Borka? -Borka's sister.

Borka's sister.

It's too easy.

I have to come up with something. I'm panicking.

I have to... I'm panicking.

I'll be laughing at any time now. They are too good.

If I can handle 30 minutes...

then I'll be really happy.

I wanted to open hard.

What are you doing now?

No!

I'm going crazy.

No! Why do I need to be a part of this?

That's my father-in-law. He'll be the doormat for the day.

No!

Damn it!

Damn!

Damn!

Maybe it was me. I don't know.

I don't think it was me.

The first card.

I couldn't watch you. I had to keep my eyes off.

That was close.

-Hi! -Hi!

You are all so lovely. Guys.

The first card.

Edvin?

You're in the danger zone.

-Keep it up. -Yes.

But the first yellow card

will go to the person on the screen right here.

-Oh my God! -Oh my God.

LAST ONE LAUGHING

I'll be laughing soon.

They're too good.

REPLAY

He'll be the doormat.

No! No!

No! No, no, no!

Damn, so good!

That's good for real! It's so...

And that was him!

-No! -Anders!

-The famous quote... -Keep it together.

Now the game continues.

Laugh while you can. Good luck!

-Özz! God damn it! Fuck off! -Damn.

That was funny.

Not hilarious, but funny enough.

I'm coming soon, Eva!

The first break was really nice.

I was longing for it.

There is such a tension...

Well...

Okay, then. Game on!

March of the Björn Borgs!

My strategy is to surprise people when they aren't prepared.

It means that I need to be quite active.

Be creative and a bit loud.

What is it?

That was the sound within me.

I thought she was running with Sussie.

How did it go, Clara? Did anyone laugh?

I have to clutch at straws here.

Ankan! Catch!

Are you throwing cookies?

I'm pooping my pants right away.

-No! -No!

-It's red! -Now?

You bastard!

LAST ONE LAUGHING

IN THE UPCOMING EPISODE

I'm gonna lose!

Hi, everybody! I'm Tiffany Persson.

Disco draining!

God damn it!

Help!

God damn it!
