flight of the conchords

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!

HAY GUISE ONE OF THESE DUDES IS IN NOTED NZ BARBEQUE REGGAE COMBO "THE BLACK SEEDS" I THINK YOU ARE ALL MAKING A SIRIUS MISTAKE K?

So once again I wonder what is going on behind the scenes at HBO that we had a few weeks of ho-hum episodes of both this and Entourage, and now this week both shows are way way better and at their peaks.

It is you "wondering-too-fucking-much-for-your-own-good" - enjoy the show!

its not his fault. everyone in that town is in that band.

john turturro!

Ohno! All the full eps on youtube seem to have disappeared! :( Cept ep 10 which has snuck up but I guess it wont last long.

I hope this comes out on DVD.

the torrents are fast free and easy and look way better

Haha that whole scene was so excruciating, Mel's character is great.

Wacked off.

yeah t0rren+s are way better to watch than youtube
xpost

poor murray
mel speaking elfish was funnneee

I love Murray so much. I want to hug him.

This last episode was probably the funniest Will Forte will ever be.

hahaha true

So is it just me, or does the show seem to have decided over the past few episodes that the group really sucks, and they only make good music in their song-fantasies? At the beginning you could imagine they were weird but competent, since things like the "The Humans Are Dead" video were presumably their actual recorded music, and the Jemaine-and-boombox trade show performance was pretty funky. But the past few episodes keep having them twiddle shabbily on their guitars and look stupid, as if to suggest they couldn't even begin to play anything like in their fantasies.

(It's a good thing they weren't actually getting a record deal, cause Bret would get screwed on publishing: Jemaine wrote their big "Who Likes to Rock the Party?" single when he was out of the band! Though he maybe helped with the booties / boobies part.)

I love Murray so much. I want to hug him.

Me too!

nabisco, I thought the same thing myself (about them sucking when they actually do play). I think this past episode, they played something other than "Who Likes To Rock the Party", but it was equally as terrible. Will Forte seemed to sum it up with his, "Your stage characters of being 2 clueless and naive guys from New Zealand is hilarious!" (I'm paraphrasing).

That being said, 3 cheers for the Donovan-esque "Pretty Prince of Parties."
