It never ceases to amaze - how they can make anything funny. So talented - music, comedy, writing, dancing, speak so many languages, and more. I am so glad that silly Fox Song (I like silly, we all need more silly) introduced the world to the talents of Bard & Vegard. Also, LOVE the reaction of the man on the left - to Bard's African accent.
This is why I love Norway when it comes to the racist topic... Because we say a lot of shit that you can't say in other countries, but it's okay because we all know it's not meant to be racist, it's just funny! :D I love how this clip shows this so well! Bård immediately thinks he's offended Tshawe and starts to explain (and would've apologized), but then it turns out that Tshawe just LOVED his imitation 'cause it was so real xD All comedians know that if you live in constant fear of offending someone, you'll never get to tell any jokes :P My best regards and respect to Madcon and Ylvis for keeping it real and being someone that all Norwegians can be proud of :)
As an African, i got to say there is nothing racist With speaking or immitating an african accent. Its just cool bro . Keep it coming Ylvis!! And love the fact that they `ve lived in Africa to
Wisti Johnston I'm a swede that have lived in Norway a while. It's the opposite in Sweden compared to Norway and Denmark in that question and some could argue we are a bit overly careful about what we say and how we come across when we talk about people and culture. For better and worse.
in norway they believe all people are equal as everyone is only human, so in the end it doesent really matter. So in a way there is no offence to be taken.
5 years late, but I really like that Africans can laugh about stuff like this. However there will always be some butt hurt white people offended on your behalf. It's the same when Americans joke about Mexico. and some Americans find it offensive while Mexicans find it hilarious.
Forgot to add that Bård and Vegard lived a few years of their childhood in Mozambique and Angola. Tshave and Yosef being touched and impressed to hear Bård and Vegard speaking African English. At the end Bård gives Madcon a lesson in how they should sing in African English instead of American English.
I love the fact that the 4 of them can joke around like this and no one is claiming racism. If this were on a US show everyone would be bitching and moaning about it. And, BONUS he is too adorable.
this was 2011. If it was done today, people would bitch about it in Norway also. Even though imitating a specific English accent has nothing to do with the definition of racism...
The Ylvis brothers lived several years of their childhood in Africa, and they comment on this in norwegian at the end of this clip. This is generally known to people, and they often do comedy based on other languages in general. So they get to be funny without beeing percived as racist on this background :)
I only understand the English parts of this vid. But I have seen that reaction from the African guy before. When I started singing a cebuano song in the Philippines and the people there saw that I knew part of their culture unexpectedly - that recognition of unity in diversity is electric! I love this guys expressions, even though I can't understand the words
I'm Swedish, and I had no big problem following this video. There may have been an unfamiliar word here and there, but the context sorted that out pretty well.
You are in fact correct... Bergen city have been the biggest trading city in northern Europe in its glory days, sort of like Hong Kong is today. Lots of portuguese and germans had base there. Aalesund = spanish traders established themselves there, main export was bacalao to Brazil. The Northern light route was an italian trade route, fish in exchange for wine and other goods. Northern Norway also have a long trade history with Russia.
Take it easy, it goes both ways, and sometimes they can actually be funny. We like to tease eachother about our differences and our achievements/or lack of achivements in sports, but after all our cultures are very similar. Ylvis makes funny things, keep it up! Hälsningar från Sverige.
- I started to babble, I only lied. I sais I lived in Asia for 6 1/2 months, made an album with Dalai Lama..... only talked piss! - Is that a joke, or have you actually said you made an album with Dalai Lama? - Yes, it exists on Ethiopean TV if you find it on the inernet, don't think they have internet though... - We have internet! It is a box in the basement. - Did you hear that??!? - Was I racist?? - No, I was moved. I was moved 'cause it was authentic. - Thank you! - Say it again! aso...
This is madcon, two african muscicians living in Norway. First tha man to the right tells he said a lot of lies on Ethiopian television, that he had made a record with Dalai Lama and a lot of crap. He says it is true, that you can watch it on internet. Then Bård starts to talk his african enghlish. Tschawe, the guy to the right gets very impressed. Bård is afraid he thinks it is rascist. So he continues to talk African-English, and Tschawe loves it. Ylvis grew up in Africa.

Yes he was taken by surprise. :)
Ylvis brothers have been living in Africa, so they know the way they speak english.
1:07 so adorable the way he's actually fanboying xD
He said lattis wich means lol
Gwen Minor lææææææætis
I wish Ylvis was broadcasted to England with subtitles
That it, I pick Ylvis to replace Letterman.
David Letterman vs Ylvis, easy, the winner is..... Jimmy Fallon!
Are they robots ?! They are awesome ..but awesome at another level .
I could listen to this all day.

hi sunny
in norway they believe all people are equal as everyone is only human, so in the end it doesent really matter. So in a way there is no offence to be taken.
Ylvis is sick when it comes to accents and languages. Keep it going guys! :D
This video makes me so happy. I've been watching it for 2 hours now.
as an African, I approve!
Me too
5 years late, but I really like that Africans can laugh about stuff like this. However there will always be some butt hurt white people offended on your behalf. It's the same when Americans joke about Mexico. and some Americans find it offensive while Mexicans find it hilarious.
Awesome, guys. You are so cute, so lovely, so talented, can't stop watching and listening to you! Hi from Hungary!
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 🔥🔥🔥. 😂😂😂😂👌🏾 ………with no malice in his heart he told this spontaneous joke we ALL can embrace 👍🏾👍🏾🇬🇧🇯🇲
oh my GOD you guys are good and very funny. People are knowing you more because of the fox music. keep the good fun up. Africans love you.
"What is! up?" I love these guys.

Dette klippet får meg til å le igjen og igjen. Herlighet, morsomste på lenge
Love the Reactions from the one on the left :D

I want to move to Norway and learn the language just so I can watch this show
me too :)))
Marie ekje det du
Then you have to move to Bergen where ylvis come from, Otherwise you wouldn’t understand them.
I would love to hear a madcon song with this accent. I can't stop watching this.
I absolutely love!!!!! this vid. Far too funny... I can't get enough.
I love them! They are soo fine ilove their elevator pranks, itshows how quick at adapting to situations & intellectual they are...

så dere hvor redd han ble når han trudde tshawe tok det rasistisk? hahah
Haha ja! Jeg synes nesten litt synd på ham da ^^ men eg elsker reaksjonene deres ^^
Om det varit i sverige så kan jag lova att någon skulle ta det rasistiskt...
Tror nesten han kødda jeg....
+John Jones det med plumbo var så teit.... hva er galt med mocca..... syns det er godt jeg lol....
They are clearly linguistic geniuses. Their IQs must be quite high. They have to be some of the smartest musicians since the likes of Mozart.

"Hørte ru rære rær?" :-D
Finally we come together...:-)
Tschawe er helt fantastisk søt når han sier lættis. Beste videoen jeg har sett på leenge!
I love these guys Ylvis!!!
Jeg fikk nesten sjokk at han snakket sånn! Rullet nesten av sengen min av latter. Helt fantastisk!
I'm Swedish, and I had no big problem following this video. There may have been an unfamiliar word here and there, but the context sorted that out pretty well.
so cool. I love the way they talk.
I don't even like rap music but I'm glad these guys settled in my tiny little nation. They are natural born entertainers!
You're a genius, Bard :)
love the way he smile and hug
Best thing is to get called "my brother" by black people and managing to get a successful handshake. Not racist. Believe me. It's the best.
What?! lol
Very Exciting You haven't got it. But when you do, you're gonna learn that day, son! :D
An7ero There is not much to get lol :D But your weird text

Ylvis makes funny things, keep it up! Hälsningar från Sverige.
The problem is doing it well enough that a South African guy just hugs you for doing the accent so well.
I just love this guys
1:09 Like his expression very much LOL
I like Madcon, and I like Ylvis. They should make a song together.
It would be epic.
phhhh cant stop ..... ahahahah i love it but has anyone seen gangsta baby rap
I would prefer learning African English over British English at school. Sounds way cooler :D.
Yes, It's got more life in it. :)
Except nobody would understand you
@@fangornthewise how can people not understand that? I don't get it
For sure 😊😄😂❤🎉 going through my life with a new
0:36 that mini heart attack when you think there's a mosquito closing in on you.

U guys are funny as shit! damn! i dont even like talk shows or comedians. But I LOVE U GUYS!
Funny How scared Ylvis became when they thought Shawe was claming it was racist. LOL.
Sykt bra han klarte å snakka på afrikansk/engelsk :D

My brotha! finally we come to togetha!
They lived in Africa for about 5 yrs during childhood, but mainly grew up in Bergen.
- I started to babble, I only lied. I sais I lived in Asia for 6 1/2 months, made an album with Dalai Lama..... only talked piss!
- Is that a joke, or have you actually said you made an album with Dalai Lama?
- Yes, it exists on Ethiopean TV if you find it on the inernet, don't think they have internet though...
- We have internet! It is a box in the basement.
- Did you hear that??!?
- Was I racist??
- No, I was moved. I was moved 'cause it was authentic.
- Thank you!
- Say it again!
aso...

They are comedians, after all.
Bård : (I Afrikansk aksent) "You sound very "Americaan"".
Tshawe: (I skikkelig oslo-gutt aksent) "LÆTIS!"
Me sigo riendo después de años😂😂😂
"You say things like Yo, What is up?"

To clarify,love their musak.
Love this hug from bard ylvisaker at 0:37
Ylvis no da wey, bruddas.
i met madcon today
damn he's so good, he sounds nigerian!!!!!!!!
Spot on.
Så sykt kult!!! Hahahahahah!! :D
EXACTLY!!
i havent been able to quite put my finger on it, but that is exactly how i feel too!
I live in Sweden, and have not noticed much of this phenomenon. Then again, I don't get out much...
Thank you!
Perfection.
SAAAAAAAANT!!! HELT SYKT, hahahahahhahah dør, er jo bedre enn oss!
funny as fuck! and he so damn cute
*Læættis* haha!
Jeg elsker de to-tre sekundene der Bård tror Tshawe skal til å skjelle ham ut for aksenten.
This is the reason why Norway make so many swedish jokes.
They spent some time in Africa growing up
Dude, I wouldn't be surprised.
I really wish this was subtitled!
Wow!!! Hahahha
trynet til bård når tshawe sa "hørte dere det dær!" hahaha
Nå var vel denne episoden av Ylvis FØR hele mokkamann-spetakkelet.
I'm proud of being Norwegian.
LÆTTIS
