Editor's note

Ylvis, the Norwegian comedy duo behind The Fox

Brothers Bård and Vegard Ylvisåker mix deadpan humor and catchy tunes.

If you only know The Fox, try Massachusetts for a better sense of their style. It's all in the delivery.

They're a comedy act that writes songs you can't shake, whether it's the viral nonsense of The Fox or the dry wit of Massachusetts. Their television show I kveld med Ylvis anchored their Norwegian fame, but the music travels farther. They've kept at it quietly, dropping tracks like Intolerant years after the spotlight faded.

They started working together in 1997 and built a local following through their TV show, which ran from 2011 to 2016. The Fox blew up internationally in 2013, but they've continued releasing music like Pressure and Shabby Chic since.

Archive material and source history

Ylvis is a Norwegian comedy duo made up of brothers Bård and Vegard Ylvisåker. They started working together in 1997 and became known in Norway through their television show "I kveld med Ylvis," which ran from 2011 to 2016.

In 2013, they released "The Fox (What Does the Fox Say?)," a song with a catchy melody and nonsense lyrics about animal sounds. It became a viral hit internationally, though some critics dismissed it as too simple. Ylvis responded that the song was meant to be funny.

Their other songs include "Massachusetts," "I Will Never Be a Star," and "Pressure." They've kept making music since, with releases like "Intolerant" in 2019.
