The first TV-appearance with Filip and Fredrik together was in 2000 as Christer Ulfbåges sidekicks in Hello Sydney, Sweden's TV-coverage of the Olympic Games in Sydney.
In each program the TV-viewers could chat with Filip and Fredrik who then, in short segments, presented the viewers opinions about different topics and events.
The duo was heavily criticized for their efforts, and did not get along well with the shows host Christer Ulfbåge.
Anders Björkman, famous Swedish TV-critic, disliked Filip and Fredriks appearance in the show to the extent that he wrote the line "give me a gun and two shells and the problem will be over" as a comment on the show.
Also according to Filip and Fredrik themselves, the show was considered a flop.
But this was the first time the viewer could watch them as a duo.

The first breakthrough came in 2002 with their hidden camera-program Ursäkta röran (vi bygger om) (Pardon the mess (we're redecorating)) broadcast by TV4.
The program created viewer storms, debates and was reported to Swedish Broadcasting Commission several times.
Six episodes were made but only four aired.
The concept involved Filip and Fredrik making fun of both famous and unknown people using a hidden camera and similar setups.
The show was largely influenced by shows like "Pyjamas", a similar show that aired the year before on youth channel ZTV.
The jokes were of a rather unusual, sometimes experimental, nature and some viewers took offense, feeling that the pair were humiliating innocent people.
Often the "jokes" were taken far beyond what in most people produced a laugh.
The show made headlines due to a segment called "the Swedish Nazi-reference championship" where they fooled singer and former Expedition Robinson-star Emma Andersson into an interview where they made as many Nazi-references as possible and observed her reactions.
Due to that segment, TV4 was fined by the Swedish Broadcasting Commission who argued that, since Emma was not a political person, the segment was intrusive to her privacy and integrity.
Fredrik has later said that Ursäkta röran (vi bygger om) was an order from TV4 because they wanted a show that 90% hated and 10% liked.

Filip and Fredrik were after Ursäkta röran guests in the program Position X, also on TV4, where they showed Tommy Körberg's phone number on TV.
The duo managed to provoke the audience again, which meant that they left TV4 and went to a small Stockholm-specific local channel called Öppna kanalen, where they made a talkshow called Öppna dagar (Open days) in 2003.
All technical personnel were female high school students and the featured guests were mostly local celebrities.
The show was cancelled in the middle of the season due to its lack of popularity.
