Ylvis, the Norwegian comedy group who went viral earlier this fall with “The Fox,” are back with a follow-up single and music video titled … “Massachusetts.” The video dishes out fun facts about the Bay State and makes a commentary about homophobia (we think) before devolving into utter, albeit catchy, nonsense. Check out the latest Ylvis viral hit below! Ylvis – Massachusetts You can’t exactly take these guys at face value based on the absurdity of their infamous answer to the eternal question ” What Does the Fox Say ?” In this case, though, their facts mostly check out: “It’s the 14th biggest state!” – True, based on population “Just four hours from New York!” – True, if you drive from Boston to NYC and hit the inevitable traffic (other parts of the state are closer) “Home of JF Kenneday!” – True, albeit spelled wrong (on purpose, we assume), as the late 35th President hailed from Brookline, Mass. “1620! The pilgrims came to town! Mayflower!” – True, true and true. “Home of Nelson Mandela!” – That’s just false. Between this song and the seven-time World Series champion Red Sox kicking off the quest for #8 in the World Series tonight … big day for Massachusetts!
