* SiblingYinYang: They play this up a bit, with Vegard as the nicer, dorkier brother and Bård as the cooler and more strong-willed one. Their appearances also contrast, since Bård's got straight blonde hair and blue eyes while Vegard has curly black hair and brown eyes.

* TheUnfavourite: There are actually ''three'' Ylvisåker brothers -- Bård and Vegard have a younger brother, Bjarte. The fact that he's excluded from his brothers' comedy team is parodied in the song I Will Never Be A Star, which he unexpectedly [[MomentOfAwesome sang in front of a massive crowd in Oslo Spektrum]] at the opening of Ylvis's concert tour.

* BigLittleBrother / LittleBigBrother: Vegard is the older one but also the shorter one.
* ButHeSoundsHandsome: Vegard once gave an interview while impersonated Josh Groban. He baited the interviewer into bringing up Ylvis and then mentioned how hilarious they were.


Added DiffLines:

* PaperThinDisguise: Vegard looks very similar to Josh Groban, so when Josh Groban came to Oslo, Vegard attempted to impersonate him and check into a hotel, make it through an interview, and enter Oslo Spektrum without anyone realizing who he really was. He nearly succeeded, too, only getting caught just as he was about to enter Groban's backstage room -- even though his disguise was essentially just [[WigDressAccent wearing a hat and speaking English.]]
