Rest in peace Albert Dyrlund and Sidney Lee. Two icons on the Danish entertainment scene.
Ja’tak directed and produced Vafler, Albert Dyrlund’s infamous music video that became the most talked-about release of 2019. With over 12 million streams across platforms, the video marked a bold shift in Dyrlund’s career, pushing him from a child-focused YouTuber into a provocateur aiming to capture the attention of older teens and young adults.
The project was conceived as a deliberate media stunt, blending shock value, humor, and pop culture references to generate viral attention. As a result, Vafler didn’t just make headlines; it became a cultural moment, sparking debates and ultimately becoming the most disliked YouTube video in Denmark’s history, a testament to its impact.
Albert Dyrlund wanted to break free from his younger fanbase and reposition himself for an older, edgier audience. The challenge was to create a music video that was provocative without feeling forced, balancing humor and controversy in a way that would dominate headlines and social feeds.
Ja’tak developed a bold creative concept that amplified Dyrlund’s media stunt ambitions. We pushed visual boundaries through daring scenes, sharp editing, and a playful yet rebellious aesthetic. The result was a video that didn’t just chase attention; it demanded it and cemented Dyrlund’s place as one of Denmark’s most unforgettable internet personalities
