Ylvis talking African English with Madcon HD

The Ylvis brothers talking African English with Madcon. Really funny! IMPORTANT!! I do not own this video, entertainment purposes only.

[@joyc9450]

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.

[@BelieveNoGod]

Yes he was taken by surprise. :) Ylvis brothers have been living in Africa, so they know the way they speak english.

[@IzzatAziz]

That it, I pick Ylvis to replace Letterman.

[@helmaxmekker8201]

David Letterman vs Ylvis, easy, the winner is..... Jimmy Fallon!

[@heyguysitspanda]

I wish Ylvis was broadcasted to England with subtitles

[@gwenminor9244]

1:07 so adorable the way he's actually fanboying xD

[@petterwlk8815]

[@SuntJack]

Are they robots ?! They are awesome ..but awesome at another level .

[@Dixxi91]

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 :)

[@samuraijamiebojulul1053]

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

[@WistiPurpleday]

Its a Scandinavian thing same in denmark and sweden

[@quilling1]

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.

[@DC-zo4eo]

hi sunny

[@fraaasma]

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.

[@oh515]

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.

[@JINSTERPEACE]

I could listen to this all day.

[@sierrab1858]

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.

[@stuartburke6374]

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...

[@260Dee1]

as an African, I approve!

[@firefromwithin6115]

Me too

[@drSvensen]

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.

[@jonathanbrake3070]

I want to move to Norway and learn the language just so I can watch this show

[@spl2285]

me too :)))

[@freeridepowderskier]

Marie ekje det du

[@britthelenbakken819]

Then you have to move to Bergen where ylvis come from, Otherwise you wouldn’t understand them.

[@user-lr8mp3qj2o]

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.

[@gaztintin3537]

👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 🔥🔥🔥. 😂😂😂😂👌🏾 ………with no malice in his heart he told this spontaneous joke we ALL can embrace 👍🏾👍🏾🇬🇧🇯🇲

[@tmv7533]

This video makes me so happy. I've been watching it for 2 hours now.

[@RichardDrinkPepsi]

Ylvis is sick when it comes to accents and languages. Keep it going guys! :D

[@SoteriosXI]

"What is! up?" I love these guys.

[@CyberlightFG]

I would love to hear a madcon song with this accent. I can't stop watching this.

[@CaptainRupeez]

så dere hvor redd han ble når han trudde tshawe tok det rasistisk? hahah

[@charlottej1670]

Haha ja! Jeg synes nesten litt synd på ham da ^^ men eg elsker reaksjonene deres ^^

[@Keyarchan]

Om det varit i sverige så kan jag lova att någon skulle ta det rasistiskt...

[@MouseGuardian]

Tror nesten han kødda jeg....

[@BiancoIsleDelfino]

+John Jones det med plumbo var så teit.... hva er galt med mocca..... syns det er godt jeg lol....

[@kian6846]

Awesome, guys. You are so cute, so lovely, so talented, can't stop watching and listening to you! Hi from Hungary!

[@danielmrussell]

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.

[@eralille]

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 :)

[@DSCYDrummer]

Love the Reactions from the one on the left :D

[@madmicas7050]

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

[@MLKshit]

I'd almost learn Norwegian just to be able to understand everything in this show.

[@mypsychadelicmind113]

I love them! They are soo fine ilove their elevator pranks, itshows how quick at adapting to situations & intellectual they are...

[@Bearsca]

"Hørte ru rære rær?" :-D

[@nordicgaming2572]

I don't even like rap music but I'm glad these guys settled in my tiny little nation. They are natural born entertainers!

[@susanreed8216]

I absolutely love!!!!! this vid. Far too funny... I can't get enough.

[@Sunnivabk]

Dette klippet får meg til å le igjen og igjen. Herlighet, morsomste på lenge

[@runar0190]

Finally we come together...:-)

[@An7ero]

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.

[@TheJesusNacho]

What?! lol

[@An7ero]

Very Exciting You haven't got it. But when you do, you're gonna learn that day, son! :D

[@TheJesusNacho]

An7ero There is not much to get lol :D But your weird text

[@missi1996]

Jeg fikk nesten sjokk at han snakket sånn! Rullet nesten av sengen min av latter. Helt fantastisk!

[@actnot2]

I love these guys Ylvis!!!

[@hobbabobba4690]

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.

[@JINSTERPEACE]

so cool. I love the way they talk.

[@XENADU001]

You're a genius, Bard :)

[@thelasskicker8987]

love the way he smile and hug

[@TheChocochococrispis]

I just love this guys

[@Sidwex]

I like Madcon, and I like Ylvis. They should make a song together. It would be epic.

[@Sunnivabk]

Tschawe er helt fantastisk søt når han sier lættis. Beste videoen jeg har sett på leenge!

[@darnydbernstrom3861]

I agree With you!, In fact they are smart! No wonder why they are so big right now all around the world.

[@Erc888]

The problem is doing it well enough that a South African guy just hugs you for doing the accent so well.

[@dianneberest6419]

phhhh cant stop ..... ahahahah i love it but has anyone seen gangsta baby rap

[@PriscillaVanDerHan]

1:09 Like his expression very much LOL

[@poetryrb]

How many languages do these guys speak?? Spanish, English, Dutch, Afrikaans, Donald Duck. And they can do the African accent so well. Wow.

[@DesudesChan]

Don't forget fluent Norwegian ;)

[@poetryrb]

Of course! it's so impressive

[@LETTIS79]

they lived in Africa as kids

[@MathildeMuseBellamy]

And Pingu:)

[@LasseLeSaux]

And Bergensk.. :D

[@Swenglish]

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.

[@BeaKejsely]

- 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...

[@jailhousestrong7048]

hey thank you for the translation mate - A friendo wondering what the hell they were talking about

[@nichegoseberazdvatri]

they seem nicer than black guys in america. they just look happy and full of life.

[@NeveahMarquez-Reyes]

For sure 😊😄😂❤🎉 going through my life with a new

[@AraMintayo]

U guys are funny as shit! damn! i dont even like talk shows or comedians. But I LOVE U GUYS!

[@johanlittorin2765]

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.

[@RichardDrinkPepsi]

I would prefer learning African English over British English at school. Sounds way cooler :D.

[@BelieveNoGod]

Yes, It's got more life in it. :)

Hahahaha I love this!

[@ainabjrnstad9307]

They lived in Africa for about 5 yrs during childhood, but mainly grew up in Bergen.

[@ajssproductions]

"Gutten lengter hjem" AHHAHAHAH

[@bloodsuckingclown]

Basically the guys from Madcon are very impressed with the African version of English spoken by the Ylvis guy when they discuss Madcon being on Ethiopian TV and tellings some half-truths. It turns out that Ylvis lived in Africa when younger.

[@oh515]

Joseph tells about their (Madcon) tour in Africa. Joseph tells he was interviewed on Ethiopian Television . He told he stayed 6 months in Asia, made ​​a record with the Dalai Lama and Gandhi was his Unkel and lots of bull shit." Bård interrupts him: - Did you really said on Ethiopian television that you have created a record with Dalai Lama? Joseph - Yes, you can find it on Ethiopian television, but I do not think they have internet in Ethiopia. Then Bård begins speaking Afrikans English.

[@joschwikker2352]

this is just so cute :)

[@user-bv8ks7yc2f]

Ylvis the house and you are ❤😊😅

[@Bnelen]

Ylvis is a real boss.

[@eugenedanker2377]

They spent some time in Africa growing up

[@lovexmusic17]

"Lættis!" Hahahaha

[@vegardylvisaaker4084]

Bård : (I Afrikansk aksent) "You sound very "Americaan"". Tshawe: (I skikkelig oslo-gutt aksent) "LÆTIS!"

[@Mangii14]

Jeg elsker de to-tre sekundene der Bård tror Tshawe skal til å skjelle ham ut for aksenten.

[@poeven]

EXACTLY!! i havent been able to quite put my finger on it, but that is exactly how i feel too!

[@eugenedanker2377]

They are comedians, after all.

[@tomasaugustthorsen1468]

I'm proud of being Norwegian.

[@AraMintayo]

funny as fuck! and he so damn cute

[@Pastorius333]

Yes of course. All European countries have more blondes than Morocco. But there are also many people with dark hair. Including Norway. That was my point.

[@heyjudy2]

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.

[@JasonBradley2084]

To clarify,love their musak.

We make a lot of norwegian jokes too, probably exactly the same...

[@hobbabobba4690]

The socalled "story" says that it was a spanish prince that shipwrecked somewhere on the westcoast after escaping from Britain. The "spiced up" stories are just so some can claim royalty to their family tree LOL

[@Hardrockhalls]

This is the reason why Norway make so many swedish jokes.

[@Jonas_æ]

Back then you could kid around and it was understood to be a sign of cultural endearment. It's sad that today, even in Norway, the American culture war has been imported and everything can be a matchstick for perceived offense.
