" The Fox" and "Stonehenge" have also been released as singles. Ī number of comedy and parody music videos, either originally featured on I kveld med Ylvis or used to promote the show, have been released onto YouTube and other streaming media. Despite technical difficulties during the broadcast, the first episode took the top ratings spot. In the Fall of 2013, Hellevang-Larsen returned for the third series of I kveld med Ylvis. The second series was broadcast in 2012, with David Batra replacing Hellevang-Larsen in the role of sidekick. Upon being renewed for a second season, the brothers created a production company, Concorde TV, in order to retain rights and creative control of their work. That year, the brothers also launched a comedy talkshow I kveld med Ylvis ( Tonight with Ylvis) on TVNorge, with Calle Hellevang-Larsen from comedy trio Raske Menn as a sidekick. In 2011 they reprised their variety stage show with "Ylvis 4", premiering at the Ole Bull Theater with the entire run sold out before opening night. In 2010, they hosted Nordens herligste ( The Nordic’s Most Wonderful), a pan-Nordic version of the show. Members of the public were invited to try to beat the brothers at various tasks, with a reward of up to one million Norwegian kroner. This was followed up by another game show, Hvem kan slå Ylvis ( Who can beat Ylvis?) in 2009, based on the German show Schlag den Raab ( Beat Raab).

During a performance, they were spotted by impresario Peter Brandt, who orchestrated their debut as professional variety artists at Ole Bull Teater in Bergen in 2000. While attending high school at Fana gymnas, they were heavily involved in school and variety shows as well as the school choir. However, both quit during their youth, Vegard instead focusing on guitar, voice, piano, double bass and comedy, and Bård on guitar, voice, comedy and acrobatics such as aerial silk. Vegard played the viola and Bård the violin. After a few years in Africa, the family moved back to Bergen, where the brothers received a musical upbringing and were trained in classical instruments. Their early childhood years were spent in Angola and Mozambique, where their father was an engineer during the civil wars there. Vegard Urheim (born in Trondheim) and Bård Urheim Ylvisåker (born 21 March 1982 in Bergen) were born to parents (Hans Terje Ylvisåker and Helga Urheim) from the Sogn district of Western Norway, the older two of three brothers.
