Ylvis - Jan Egeland

[Kristian]

Don't know how many of you guys are familiar with this Norwegian fella.

He had a hit a couple of years ago called "What the fox Say", horrible euro-dance song.

 

I'm not a fan of comedian-like lyrics, but omg this is one strong hard rocking tune.

Dude's got skillz. Some of his other video parodies are hilarious. I'd like to hear him record a full melodic rock album.

Actually Ylvis are two brothers from Norway. Highly popular in their home country. They have their own talk show and doing all sort of pranks to ordinary people on the street.

 

I dig them a lot, they're highly talented. Great music and videos. Plenty of humour.

Right up my alley.

Haha. First song is great, but I don't really find any humour in it until the final verse. Second song is cool but does 0 for me comedically. Third song is what it is, but it's really quite amusing. The last song is really cool - funny and a good tune. The pen trick thing bringz teh lolz. Out of curiosity, is that guy seriously their actual brother?

Yep. The youngest of them. And as you noticed, he's not involved in Ylvis.

 

More good stuff:

This one is just brilliant.

I tell you. These guys are just fucking brilliant.

I thought this one was the best. Maybe you haven't noticed, but it's a current trend with the younger generation and the hipsters to ride anyone's dick if they do an a capella version of a popular song. And then they go off saying it's the best thing ever, and often don't even realise it's a cover. This video was making fun of that, and, even more specifically, the group Pentatonix. I thought it was brilliant.

Went through a bunch of their videos last night. These two I actually thought was really funny.
