flight of the conchords

i had 'it's business time' in my head pretty much all last week
oh and i sang it out loud a few times in front of friends. and then tried to explain the show. lols

my gf has admitted to me that sometimes when I initiate, she hears "business time" in her head. So far, this has not damaged our relationship, but only because of my assumption that this will go away.

OMG WHEN KENAN INITIATES

you have no idea, friend

i have a snake

"With phones, you make the call!"

They are the funniest Frenchmen ever

oh yeah totally the french pop song part is amazing
this was a great episode

Just because we've playing tonsil hockey
Doesn't mean you get to score the goal that's in my jockeys

"With phones, you make the call!"

yes, totally bizarre. I want more surreal television, plz.

I have never seen the HBO show but I spent a lot of this morning watching FotC concert clips on YouTube. My favorite one is the one about "issues." Then at lunch today I went to this record store near my work, and as I was leaving a dad and his teenage son were walking in, and the son was singing "There are people on the street having sex with monkeys." It was weird.

get these cutleries out my knees

It's a phenomenon all of a sudden. It's a funny, funny show. You can see whole episodes on youtube.

The performances in that HBO special they did are so much funnier than in the show! I probably said this upthread: on the show they kinda step on the punchlines. Still great, but ... yeah.

Bret's player was amazingly well-cast.

on the show they kinda step on the punchlines.

Sometimes, sometimes not. "She's So Hot (Boom)" is much funnier on the show. "Business Time" is much better live. I did not need to see Jemaine naked, thanks.

the hbo special is funny in a slightly different way - a bit more true to life i guess - the show is more about the 'bret' and 'jemaine' (and mel and murray) weirdo oblivious-to-(some of)-the-ways-of-the-world personas. i like both kinds of performances. i'm still a bit surprised the show even exists.

And the visual references on the show are great! The french pop video, for a great example. Or the Chungking Express street shots in "Inner City Pressure".

nabisco, you are wrong, guy.

I'm surprised anyone disagrees! Stuff like "Issues" and "Business Time" seemed much funnier when they had time and space to let the jokes breathe a little. Some of them disappear entirely, like fork-knees saying "Aaa-aaaa-aargh."

But there are no great moments in performance specials where Bret fends off date rape, so...

i have no idea how you think the songs dont breathe in the sitcom setting. the songs are slowed down dramatically in the show just for that reason.

Apparently I am receiving a different broadcast :(

i saw bret at a pho place by my house /hstencil

!

btw i just watched some of mel's videoblog on youtube - funneee

There is one where she puts glasses on her dog Jemaine, and it's mindblowingly cute. I mean, a dog, wearing glasses.

Cuter than this, even:

xxpost or a "vlog," as they might say in russia

kristen schaal is pretty funny live in stand-up too!

"women love that sensitive nautical shit"

dont know if its been linked yet but all the eps are on youtube here http://www.youtube.com/user/ryancorven

anyone have that photo they show on the HBO commercial where they are sitting in a room sliding almost totally off their chairs?

"women love that sensitive nautical shit"

The best bit was the rest! "Watership Down, man, women love that story". I love Arj Barker, he's awesome.

I fear my wife could leave me for Jermaine given the chance =''(

I like to think I'm the cute one without glasses. Girls would wake me up in the night begging for sex. And I would be like 'in 3 years I'll be ready' lol

interview thing with kristen schaal (mel) - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fNAH5hJ0dwk - hahaha, she is great
interviews with others linked on that page too (haven't watched them yet tho)

Arj needs to be on this show more. He's like the comedian's Dave Grohl, I have the hots for him something fierce.

at first i figured he was just a dumbass. now i realize he's a really really funny dumbass

Who, Arj Barker? He is awesome!

renewed for a second season! but will it run out of steam?

Uhh: Flight of the Conchords episode 9

what was that shit, guys? one song, too much murray, recycled jokes. you are better than that!

it was really sad too

Argh I need to catch up, Ive only seen up to ep 6 I think. Is 9 on YT yet?

Yep: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TOjWKgHFx20

"You're pretty much the most disliked race in this whole country"
"...what about black people?"
"They don't like you either"

I love this show.

"I can't put my emotions into words... so I decided to use lyrics"

NJUWWPT episode was hilarious but disappointing. When they went to black n white in the car I was certain they were going to do a we're-on-tour themed song, but then nothing. I did like the line about the mermaids smoking seaweed at their parties though.

The best thing about this show though really is Bret's sweaters.

"The best thing about this show though really is Bret's sweaters"

I was just thinking that his sweaters/sweatshirts are the most doggedly unaesthetic bits of clothing I've ever seen.

Daryl Hall!

haha my friend called him out! i never would've guessed at all

Mel needed more screen time and this week's episode does not disappoint.

this was def my favorite ep so far! (don't tell mel i'm down here)

"casual prince"

also, xpost, i love bret's sweatshirts!
