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 with the Flowers on a Trip cast, 2017

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.
