Ylvis

Ylvis was discovered by Peter Brandt in 2000. Brandt first saw Bård Ylvisåker on stage at Fana Skoleteater, and Bård asked his brother, Vegard Ylvisåker to join him. Six months later they debuted with the show "Ylvis - En kabaret", thus starting their ascent into Norway's comedy elite.

Their first project as Ylvis was in 2000 with "Ylvis - En Kabaret". In 2001, they did "Ylvis Goes Philharmonic" with Bergen Filharmoniske Orkester in Grieghallen in Bergen. In the same year, they debuted on TV as regular guests on Rune Larsen's show "Absolutt Norsk" on NRK.

After the success of "Ylvis - En Kabaret", they went on and did another stage show, "Ylvis - En Konsert" in 2004. Some can say these two shows can be called "Ylvis 1 and Ylvis 2", since later on they did two more stage shows, "Ylvis 3" in 2007, and "Ylvis 4" in 2010.
Gullsjansen

Gullsjansen was a competition that took place during Season Four of *I Kveld Med Ylvis*. The segment was hosted by Magnus Devold and the competitors were Bård, Vegard and Calle Hellevang-Larsen.

 Each episode the three hosts competed against each other in a series of challenges. The overall winner would get the town square of Averøya, an island on the west coast of Norway, named after him. The loser of each individual competition received a punishment at the end of that night's show.

## Background

In 2011 Ylvis had recorded a charity single for Averøya, Sammen finner vi frem, to help raise funds for the community to put a tourist information sign on the highway rest stop. A number of Norwegian celebrities participated, and the song and video debuted on the final show of IKMY's first season.
Superboys

*Superboys* was a recurring sketch from Season Two of *I Kveld Med Ylvis*. It featured Ylvis and co-host David Batra dressed in garish spandex jumpsuits with capes and face paint, helping people with everyday tasks like washing their hands in a public bathroom and scooping up dog poop in the park.

There were four Superboys sketches plus a short blooper video posted by TVNorge.

O-fag

O-fag is a radio show that aired on NRK P3 in the summer of 2006, and again in the summer of 2008. Bård and Vegard Ylvisåker were the hosts of the show, and they had frequent guests. O-fag stands for "Orienteringsfag", a course at primary school in Norway which consisted of the subjects of Science, Geography, Social Science and History, all in one course. The course was removed from the curriculum in 1996-1997.

O-fag 2006 had several regular segments, including Oppgave med straff (Task with punishment) 1002 Fantastiske Facts, Confusing News with Brynjar Kvam and a Morse code course. Ylvis decided who would host each episode with a stein-saks-papir (rock-paper-scissors) competition. They also did a lot of musical improv based on suggestions from listeners.

O-fag 2008 also had several regular segments, including a Samish language course, the side effects of Ibux (Ibuprofen), sex advice from Big Boy Vidar, prank calls to the Netherlands and Paranormal Corner.

Massachusetts

Massachusetts, a stirring ode to the 14th biggest state in the USA, debuted on Season 3, Episode 13 of *I Kveld Med Ylvis*.

## Massachusetts: The Song

Massachusetts is the first Ylvis song to feature their *I Kveld Med Ylvis* co-host Calle Hellevang-Larsen. Bård, Vegard and Calle share lead vocals on the verses and are backed up by a gospel choir on the choruses.

Musically this is one of Ylvis' most complex songs. It starts as a uplifting ballad, makes a short detour into African rhythms for a throwaway verse about Nelson Mandela (who never had a home in Massachusetts, BTW), then a spoken-word bridge in the middle featuring semi-literate cheerleaders who get lectured by Calle, a funky call-and-response with the gospel choir and a rousing finish.

Lyrically the song starts as a romantic tribute to the state of Massachusetts, then takes a turn into the absurd with subtle references to male homosexuality that become overt by the song's end. This could be a reference to the state's progressive reputation, which has made it a popular holiday destination for LBTGQ travellers.

## American Reaction

Massachusetts was released during October 2013, while The Fox was still blowing up the Internet and getting Ylvis a lot of publicity in the USA. Reaction to the song was mixed. A lot of people didn't get the joke, and were puzzled and/or offended by the nonsensical elements and homoerotic subtext of the song.

* Did Massachusetts Miss the Point While Watching Ylvis’s ‘Massachusetts’?

## Massachusetts: The Video

   The video begins like an expensive travel ad, with Bård, Vegard and Calle planning their big trip and holding hands while they wait for departure. Once they're in Massachusetts they "go native", wearing all-American plaid shirts, jeans and sneakers as they visit small towns and try specialties like the local Brie. As the song goes on we learn that they are staying in a large house with a lot of other men and Vegard takes a road trip that's fraught with tension ("we're nothing more than friends...just good friends")

They have an encounter with cheerleaders who don't know how to spell, make some confessions to each other (Vegard enjoys the nightlife, Calle says kissing a man doesn't make you gay and Bård cries when Mufasa dies in the Lion King). Vegard sings about cruising for men on the bus, and the video ends with a triumphant MASS-A-CHU-SETTS with the gospel choir on full blast.

Ilya Lukash

Ilya Lukash was Ylvis` manager during the time they spent in BIshkek, Kyrgyzstan trying to become pop stars. Ilya`s enthusiasm and colorful use of English in the Big in Kyrgyzstan series made him a fan favorite, and he contributed a number of catchphrases used by Ylvis fans, such as “now I am full happy.”

## Ilya Quotes

* I`m the manager!
* Now I am just full happy.
* That's so classical Norway name!
* It's a crazible expensive.
* You start Bob Marley. He start from cocaine bar, you start from pizza place.
* Time machine it's not so easy, like we usually think about car.
Norges Herligste

*Norges Herligste (Norway's Most Delightful*) was a non-fiction comedy show that aired on TVNorge in 2007-2008. Bård and Vegard co-hosted the show. Norges Herligste was the Norwegian version of the Swedish TV show " *100 höjdare".* There was only one season with 14 episodes. It was later released on DVD.

In 2010 they did a second series that covered all of Scandinavia, *Nordens Herligste.*

The show featured Ylvis interviewing Norwegians with unusual hobbies, interesting collections, unconventional lifestyles or just fun, eccentric personalities. Throughout the season the viewers could vote for their favorite, and in the end the "Norges Herligste" would be picked. The season ended with a big gala in Oslo, held at Edderkoppen Theater on 10 March, 2008.

The winner was Bjørn Antonsen, "Skjærgårdstrubaduren" (The Archipelago Troubadour.)

Magnus Devold

Birthday
 Status
 Twitter name

Magnus Devold is a Norwegian comedian best known as the sidekick to Bård and Vegard on *I Kveld Med Ylvis,* featured in all five seasons of the talk show. Magnus has also appeared in a number of mini series for VGTV, including Norges beste fest and Verdens Beste Ferie.

## I Kveld Med Ylvis

Originally billed as an 'intern' in season one of *I Kveld Med Ylvis*, Magnus' role became increasingly important; including hosting his own game show segment, 'Gullsjansen' in season four.

## Kjendiskveld (2015)

Magnus got his own show called *Kjendiskveld* (Celebrity Night) in fall 2015. *Kjendiskveld* was a parody of entertainment news shows, and Ylvis were featured in several episodes.

### The Vegard Hair Scandal

The premier episode of *Kjendiskveld* had an expose on Vegard Ylvisåker, revealing that his famous curly hair was not natural. There was footage of Vegard taking out the trash and walking his dog with straight hair, followed by an advertisement for his favourite curling iron.

### The Bård Dog Poop Scandal

In this episode Magnus revealed that Bård Ylvisåker had adopted the American celebrity habit of picking up his dog's poop with a plastic bag, instead of using his bare hands and putting it in his pocket to dispose of later, like a real Norwegian would. Magnus first confronted Bård while he was out walking his dog, then had him in for an interview where he grilled Bård some more about his Hollywood pretensions.

### The Vegard Barbecue Scandal

Magnus continued to keep a close eye on Ylvis' celebrity extravagance, and his next target was Vegard's habit of barbecuing out in his yard, showing off to all his neighbours.

### The Selfie Contest

Magnus took the opportunity to get revenge on Ylvis for all the humiliating pranks they subjected him to on *I Kveld Med Ylvis* by making them participate in a selfie contest in downtown Oslo. The object was to get people to take selfies with them without being prompted. There was a time limit and the loser would have to sing *The Fox* in the middle of Egertorget.

Magnus decided to further humiliate the contest loser (Bård) by making him go into a busy fast-food restaurant, climb up on a table and announce that he would be singing outside shortly.

## Magnus Devold: Kjør meg til OL (2017)

Magnus' next TV project is a travel show, *Kjør meg til OL* (Drive me to the Olympics.) The premise is simple - Magnus, who does not have a driver's license, has to find people to drive him from Oslo through northern and eastern Europe to South Korea, in time for the opening ceremony of the 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Olympic Games.
The Fox (What Does The Fox Say?)

*The Fox (What Does the Fox Say?)* is the accidental viral hit released on Youtube 3 September, 2013 as a teaser for the third season of *I Kveld Med Ylvis**.*

Originally conceived as an "anti-hit" that would be a one-time joke on their show, Ylvis collaborated on the song with fellow Norwegians Stargate, the songwriting and production team of Tor Erik Hermansen and Mikkel Storleer Eriksen.Ylvis had played the duo in a mockumentary made to celebrate Mikkel's 40th birthday, and in return they got a day in Jay-Z's New York studio with Stargate.

*Watch the Stargate mockumentary here.*

Ylvis were originally going to do a song about men who were afraid of dancing and call it The Dancing Stick, but they thought that would sound too much like they were trying to make a real hit. They decided it would be funnier to to misuse the resources they'd been given on a deliberately bad song and revived an idea from the year before for a song about a fox. *(source)*

* Ylvis Super-Producer Admits ‘The Fox’ Is Unintentional EDM Parody, *SPIN* (2013/10/18)

The joke turned out to be on Ylvis. *The Fox* went viral immediately after it was posted to Youtube on 3 September 2013, becoming a breakout hit and bringing them to global attention.*The Fox* peaked at the top of the Norwegian Singles Chart and was hugely successful in the United States, where it peaked at number six on the *Billboard* Hot 100 for three consecutive weeks. *(source)*

The Fox won a 2013 Spellemannprisen (the Norwegian equivalent of the Grammys) for Hit of the Year.

Leopard Thong

The leopard thong is an undergarment worn by both Ylvis brothers in separate episodes of Norges Herligste.

The thong was first seen in the Big Boy segment of Episode 4 (air date: 2007/12/10.) Vegard was urged to try it on by both Vidar and the show`s producer and wore it through most of the segment as he was spanked, groped on the bum and got his hair cut by Vidar.

Bård wore the thong in the Stein-saks-papirmannen segment of Episode 11 (air date: 2008/02/18) He put it on after losing a rock-paper-scissors tournament, walked through the streets wearing it and went into a shop to buy throat lozenges.

The current whereabouts of the leopard thong is unknown.
The Admin and the Target

-Mx,

Please call your superiors, and for the sake of your own [well-being], do not open this door. -

The admin does not touch the paper. The admin swallows, turns to the desk.

The target stands by the door, smiling faintly.

"I could tell them you're here."

The target gives the admin an indulgent look.

"Yea ...." The admin picks up the phone, glances at the door. "Should I ask ...?"

The target resumes smiling.

"Stupid question." The line connects. "This is the admin from the Intelligence department. I have a situation requiring immediate attention." Pause. "It would be best if you and Medical came down and saw for yourselves."

Pause. "Sounds good, thanks." Disconnects.

"Come along," says the target.

"And if I don't want to?"

The target just looks at the admin.

"Right." The admin plods to the door.

The target links their arms and they stroll from the office.

"Takes a lot of guts to just walk in here like this."

The target smiles quite a bit less faintly.

"I could get in a lot of trouble for not stopping you."

"You'll be fine." The target pats the admin's hand.

The admin stutters.

"Nice and easy," the target says softly.

The admin doesn't drag their feet. "It's really cool how, uh, scary you are without weapons or threats or anything."

"Thank you," replies the target, pushing open a door. "Please."

An average-sized, four door car of some dark colour waits in the parking lot, the driver leaning against the side in open view of the camera.

The admin feels dizzy.

"Thank you for your time," the target says pleasantly, unlinking their arms.

"Yea, sure," replies the admin.

License plate ... Are those Bs or 8s? Ds or Os? Or zeroes ...?

"Have a good day," the target continues, straightening the admin's jacket.

"Thanks, you, too."

The target glides across the pavement.

The driver gets the passenger door{,} and then they drive off.

The admin sits down heavily on the curb.

"Are you okay?" asks a nurse.

The {first} admin looks up. "I'm fine, thank you."

"You've been sitting there for hours."

The admin's stomach drops.
Bjarte Ylvisåker

Name
 Birthday
 Status
 Twitter name

Bjarte Ylvisåker is the youngest Ylvisåker brother. He was born in Bergen, Norway and spent a short amount of time in Africa as a young child. He participated in a few TV shows when he was quite young, and did quite well. However, he has said that he is not interested in show business **[*needs a source]*** and spent several years in the United States training as a helicopter pilot.

## I Will Never Be A Star

Although Bjarte hasn't formally pursued a show business career, he debuted his own song, *I Will Never Be A Star**,* at the first Expensive Jacket Tour show on 28 February 2014 at Oslo Spektrum, and toured off and on with his brothers for the remainder of the year.

The song was included on Ylvis' CD *Volume 1* and the music video debuted on *I Kveld Med Ylvis*19 November, 2014*.*

*I Will Never Be A Star* became a Number 1 download on Cambodia iTunes in December of 2014, and Bjarte won a 2015 Nordic Music Video Best Artist Performance award for the song, along with director (and frequent Ylvis collaborator) Ole Martin Hafsmo. Much to the amusement of his brothers Bård and Vegard, Bjarte's first name was misspelled as Bjarne on the prize.

According to his brother Bård, Bjarte helped write the song Yoghurt, also on *Volume 1*. **[*needs a source]***

## Stories from Norway

Bjarte played supporting roles in several episodes of *Stories from Norway*, the "investigative musical" series that aired in 2018 on TVNorge. Here he is playing a bar singer with his brother Vegard in the Petter Northug drunk-driving episode:
The Leafblower

Ylvis have gotten a lot of comic mileage out of using a leafblower as a prop.

   The leafblower was first seen in the Maximum Gardening video from Season One of *I Kveld Med Ylvis.*

In Season Two of *I Kveld Med Ylvis,* David Batra used the leafblower in an episode of Superboys.

The leafblower appeared again in the first episode of Hvem vil ha denne? *(Who wants this?)* from Season Three and was featured in a TVNorge Christmas-themed ad for IKMY.

In 2014, Magnus used a leafblower to wake up Bård during the 24-hour livestream broadcast that preceded the premiere of Season Four of *I Kveld Med Ylvis,*

It showed up again in the 2015 fall ad campaign for the fifth season of IKMY, when Calle used it to dry politician Raymond Johansen's hair.

The current whereabouts of the leafblower is unknown.
Flowers on a Trip (guest appearance)

In August 2017 Ylvis made a guest appearance on the Chinese reality travel series *Flowers on a Trip*, featuring a group of young actors and singers backpacking to various global locations. The Ylvis episode takes place in Oslo, Norway where they live and work.

Ylvis plan a multi-faceted prank on the group. First they pretend to be staff in a fine-dining restaurant, with Bård playing the waiter and Vegard the maître d'.They oversalt the soup of one of the women, then pretend there isn't anything wrong with it. Vegard makes a point of tasting it several times with the guest's spoon.

Next, Ylvis follow individual members of the group around Oslo separately as they shop and sight-see, calling out to them in Mandarin, and asking for selfies. Bård wears a false moustache for a disguise. The cast members are surprised and puzzled that they are being recognized in Oslo.

When Bård approaches actor/singer Aarif Rahman, Aarif recognizes him as the waiter from the restaurant (he tells Bård the moustache looks really fake) and as one of the singers of The Fox. Bård makes him swear not to tell the others. Later in the episode, there's a flashback to a scene at the restaurant, with one of the group telling their "waiter" how much he looks like one of the guys from Ylvis and showing him a photo. Bård says that he hears that a lot, but the Ylvis guy has longer hair and lives in Bergen, so it isn't him.

After sightseeing in Vigeland Park, the group arrives at a tent where Aarif promised they would see a performance. They find Ylvis with Aarif, who is wearing one of the costumes from The Fox video and clowning on stage. Ylvis confess to the pranks and watch a Mandarin monologue performed by two people (one speaks and the other acts it out.) After watching Bård agrees to give it a try with Aarif doing the speaking, much to the group's delight.
Ylvis møter veggen

*Ylvis møter veggen* *(Ylvis meets the wall)* was a TV game show that aired on TVNorge in the fall of 2008. *Ylvis Møter Veggen* was inspired by the Japanese TV show called *Brain Wall*, also called "Human Tetris", and "The hole in the wall". It only aired one season.

Bård and Vegard were the team captains, with celebrity guests making up the rest of the members. The teams stood at the edge of a pool and tried to form themselves into the shapes cut in the oncoming wall without falling in the water. Sometimes there would be complications - such as Vegard shooting Bård in the butt with an airsoft gun - and quiz wall rounds, in which the contestants would have to answer questions in addition to trying to get through the wall. The team that got the most points won.

## Sock Cop

Born in the New York area, Sock Cop now age 138 was teleported to the future by a time traveling cave man. It is a complicated story and the exact details are unknown similarly to the anatomy of a Sock Cop, which baffles even the leading experts on the issue. Sock Cop was an only child contrary to the popular belief that he has a long lost brother or that there was a mishap in the dryer. His father worked at a post office and handed out stamps, and now is at the old socks home, Socky Acres along with Sock Cop's mother. Not much is known about Sock Cop's mother, but Sock Cop did visit her at Socky Arces for Mother's Day. Stories say that Mamma Sock's warnings about the speeders made Sock Cop want to become a cop. He was driven by the desire to stop the peoples from speedin' and protecting the pedestrians and bicyclists.

His day job is being a cop, but by night he uses the Periscopes and Twitches to talk to the peoples and answer the people's questions. Sock Cop enjoys the Dr Peppers, eatin' the hearts, sounding his siren, impressions, movie reenactments, karaoke, and many other forms of entertainment. He does not discriminate and loves all peoples and socks, and is trying to make the world a better place. Sock Cop spent some of his earlier years in Tucson, Arizona, where he famously ate the most amazing tamales ever that he received from a stranger at 2:00 in the morning in the laundry area of his apartment complex. He also has a podcast where he and a guest talk about the things.

Plager Charter-Svein (Bothering Charter-Svein)

For the fourth season of *I Kveld Med Ylvis*, Ylvis got Norwegian TV personality and frequent IKMY guest Charter-Svein (real name Svein Østvik) to agree to let them play a series of pranks on him in exchange for an expensive magnetic bed, which they would give him at the end of the season.

Because Svein had given Ylvis permission to prank him, they did not hold back. Poor Svein got awakened by a train horn in his bedroom, trapped in his balcony as it filled up with plastic balls, and lured into a stunt plane, among other things.

Da vet du at det er jul

Da vet du at det er jul (You Know When It's Christmas) is a ballad that aired on the final episode of Season 2 of *I Kveld Med Ylvis*.

## The Song

Da vet du at det er jul is a parody of sentimental Christmas songs. The song's instrumentation is mainly piano and strings and is beautifully sung by Bård and Vegard, sharing lead vocals and harmonizing on the final chorus. The lyrics celebrate nonsensical Christmas traditions like eating exotic birds, reading updates from Wikileaks, and drinking "tissegløgg" (mulled urine.)

Hvem Kan Slå Ylvis

*Hvem Kan Slå Ylvis* was a TV game show that aired on TVNorge in September 2009. Bård and Vegard were the red "home" team, and competed against a blue team made up of various celebrities. They competed in all kinds of activities such as wood cleaving, dodge ball, quiz and connect four. If the blue team won, they would get prize money, The amount would vary from 250 000kr to 1 000 000kr.

The concept was taken from a German TV show *Schlag den Raab* featuring German comedian. Stefan Raab.

Ylvis only did one season of *Hvem Kan Slå Ylvis* , then professional skiers Kjetil A. Aamodt and Lasse Kjus took over their roles as hosts. The show's name changed to *Hvem Kan Slå Aamodt og Kjus* but the concept was the same.

Ylvis appeared on the November 10th, 2010 episode of *Hvem Kan Slå Aamodt og Kjus* as the blue team (guests).

Vaping With Friends: Sock Cop Rocks!

Sock Cop's apperance on Vaping with Friends was released on Saturday May 9, 2015 on the Vaping with Friends YouTube channel. Sock Cop's sergeant came on to the show demanding Sock Cop to turn in his badge, but he was immediatly rehired. Tugboat made a cameo apperance.

Sock Cop's part starts at 9:35 in the video.
Sock's Time Travel

Sock Cop born in 1883 lived a normal life until at age 29 in the year 1912 a time traveling caveman shot him with a laser sending him instantaneously at a speed of 670616615.1 miles per hour (almost that of the speed of light in a vacuum.) He spent exactly 7 days at this speed as 93 years passed on Earth. Arriving in the year 2005, Sock was bewildered by the new technology and he couldn't believe what he was seeing. In just one weeks time his whole life turned upside down. Now the year 2021 Sock is age 138 by calendar years, but he is just a little over 45 due to his time dilation, which explains why he looks so good for 138.
Sock Cop Twitch Streamer

With the Periscopes dying a slow painful death, Sock has moved to the Twitches and broadcasts regularly on Tuesday and Thursday nights around 10PM Eastern/9PM Central US. He is trying to add as many gimmicks as Sockingly possible.

Back in the old days Sock cop had started to dabble in the broadcasting of the video games on the internets. He was known to play Stardew Valley, Minecraft, and Rocket League. People love listening to a sock ramble and interact with chat.

May 6, 2015 - Episode: Sock Cop has a lot to say!

On this episode Sock Cop discussed the various radio and podcast shows he will be on in the upcoming future. He also talked about how he had to bust out the sirens IRL to prevent the lawyer from using the foul languages. Other topics discussed were the fan made memes, the Tom Green Show experience, and potential sponsorship opportunities. Sock Cop did a poetry reading for the first time with high praises from the peoples. He announced he will be doing an early show on the 7th to do a show for the European audience.
The Lawyer

Not much is known about the lawyer, since she will not appear on stream unless she has had a few alcoholic beverages. The lawyer is known for raising the PG rating of Sock Cop's stream to an R rating due to her vulgar and expletive-filled language during Sock Cop's apperance on the Tom Green Show with guest, Daryn Jones.
Ways to Eat the Hearts

Often during the stream, Sock Cop will eat the people's hearts. Hearts are sent to Sock Cop by taping on the screen. Sock Cop especially likes when the hearts have been marinating. He has been known to do combinations (ex. Slow Motion Turkey Style).

Hearts have been consumed in these ways:

* Pac Man
* Turkey Style - Gobble Gobble Gobble
* Roasted (Heart Burn)
* Slow Motion
* Vacuum Style
* Spaghetti Style
* Backwards
* Cookie Monster
* Snake
* Jaws
* Mario
* Zoidberg
* Hannibal Lecter
* Matthew McConaughey
* Standard
* Minnesota
* Tom Green
* Sling Blade
* Typewriter
* Mouth Flap
* Prince
* Attack Rabbit
* Ozzy \*

\* For the month of October some of the hearts became bats, so someone suggested Sock Cop to Ozzy the Bats since Ozzy Osbourne infamously bit the head off of a bat during one of his shows.
The Tom Green Show

Sock Cop was on the Tom Green YouTube show Web-o-vision on May 5, 2015. Tom and guest, Daryn Jones, met the magnificent Sock Cop via Skype, who was his lovely Sock self. They did not entirely understand Sock Cop, and they sent high doses of shade his way. They made the assistant show his face and then heckled him for being out of character. Tom does drive at a reasonable speed, so at least he had a redeeming moment.

After calls from the YouTube chat for an encore, Sock Cop returned to the Tom Green show where Sock Cop said nothing but nice things, but the host and guest continued to not get and be snarky to Sock Cop. At a critical moment the Skype call ended.

Towards the end of the show they said they were getting comments in the chat about how they mistreated Sock Cop, but their response was that everything is scripted and that their prop department created Sock Cop and that he is just in the other room.

Sock Cop remained positive with his peoples on the Periscopes but was a bit agitated Tom Green and guest did not understand him. It should be noted that Sock Cop had ~150 to 200 concurrent viewers during his show while the Tom Green YouTube show hovered at ~100 viewers.

After the end of the show, Sock Cop was invited back to the Tom Green Show, without the guest Daryn Jones. It was said that Tom liked Sock Cop, but Daryn was the one throwing most of the shade. When Sock Cop was called on Skype the first time there were technical difficulties when a YouTube video was playing in the background of the conversation.

Sock Cop returned for a second take to take calls and questions from YouTube. This exchange went much better without the shade throwing by Mr. Jones. Sock Cop answered questions, sang songs, and did impressions. Tom invited Sock Cop to one of his standup gigs and potentially to be on the YouTube show again. Tom Green has redeemed himself.

Tugboat

Tugboat, former wrestler, has become a staple character on the Sock Cop broadcasts back in the periscope days with his frequent cameo appearances. He was Sock Cop's personal body guard until he realized he wasn't being paid. We know he likes the creamy peanut butter and strawberry jelly sandwiches. During the early streams, Tugboat lived in the same house as Sock Cop and scooped poops at the zoo, but has since moved away in search for Bigfoot.

The show was produced by Dickhouse Productions for Cartoon Network's Adult Swim programming block during its first and second seasons. Season three's production shifted to Gorilla Flicks, a new company founded by Dickhouse producer Jeff Tremaine.

## History

The show was initially announced in early 2011, after Los Angeles hip hop collective Odd Future began to receive mainstream recognition. It was said to be like a combination of Jackass and Chappelle's Show. The show was originally going to be named Blackass, a portmanteau of the TV series Jackass and the fact that most of the cast is black. This was however, changed to the title's current variation of Loiter Squad. It was not until September 8, 2011 that the show was finally confirmed as a 15-minute live action show composed of various sketches, man on the street segments, pranks and music made by Odd Future. Dickhouse Productions, the production partnership that created Jackass, produces the show.

Loiter Squad premiered on Sunday, March 25, 2012 on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim programming block, rated TV-14-DLSV. Episode 4 featured an appearance from Jackass alumnus Johnny Knoxville while fellow Jackass cast members Bam Margera, Chris Pontius and Dave England have also made guest appearances. Other appearances have included rappers Xzibit, Lil Wayne, and Juicy J, and actor Seth Rogen. In 2012, it was announced that Earl Sweatshirt and Blake Anderson will both join the cast at the show's second season.

Loiter Squad was renewed for a third season by Adult Swim. The third season premiered on May 15, 2014, which is now produced by Gorilla Flicks, the new production company of Jeff Tremaine and also produced by Camp Flog Gnaw, which is a production company by cast member, Tyler, the Creator.
