LOL: Last one laughing Halloween

Under Sigrid Bonde Tusvik's watch, eight comedians in pairs must not laugh for three hours; the challenge begins with a mailman's delivery and a musical number with sausages and Latin flair, testing whose straight face will crack first.

An unexpectedly funny compliment challenge leads to dramatic chaos; one team stages a radio play with bad sound effects, while another delivers an emotional family tribute; Christian's clever surprise is foiled by bad timing.

After a fateful video, comedians unleash their final weapons, "tickle man," an edible bicycle, a "sperm hunt" and an "honesty circle"; the desperate battle to make others laugh, while not laughing themselves ends with one winner and 50,000 kroner.

A mother-and-son dance to German techno by the Maurstads sets the tone from the start, before an accidental sofa collapse causes trouble for the comedians. A spot-on parody of a classic Christmas TV show is followed by a dangerous cauliflower situation, before a surprise birthday party with an original twist on a singalong has consequences.

Ingrid and Kåre Magnus prepare yet another idea that seems to amuse them more than anyone else, while an entirely new beard appears in the room. Kristoffer and Maria arrange a family reunion, before Mari and Aslak stage the world premiere of Plaskesteinane, featuring an international line-up of interpreters. Finally, it all culminates in a spontaneous and chaotic pop-up shoe shop, with a twist.

A place in the final is within reach, and the contestants pull out all the stops. An absurd misunderstanding involving Arne Næss and Arnfinn Nesset, eight Mari Maurstads, two very tall men and an old acquaintance betraying his closest ally make it increasingly difficult to keep a straight face. Who will hold out the longest and walk away with the trophy?
