flight of the conchords

Saw for first time last night -- not for me, I think. I would like to swear off now and remain rather fondly uninterested, but if I kept watching I think I could come to hate them, hate them all.

you guys hate the funk.

i watched a full episode and laughed a good bit but srsly the only difference between these guys and Tenacious D is that they murmur.

and they aren't douche bags.

ITS BUSINESSSS TIIIIME.

and they play funk not metal. and they arnt stoners.

Someone please
Remove these cutleries
From my knees

i still love this show!
there is a special place in my heart for funk, it's true, but also a special place alongside it for the millions of local funk bands in the world who i will never go see even if i have roommates or friends in these funk bands sorry guys

laurel you could never hate murray! not murray!

I feel sorry for Murray :(

Well, it was only one episode, maybe I need to see the full range of their loveability?

WE ARE FROM THE YEAR 2000 ROBOTS WE KILL THE HUMANS WQITH ARE SMARTS!

FUUUUUCK YOU

LOVE!

I saw an episode on BBC4 the other day - not quite a patch on the Radio 2 series! Yet, anyway.

I need to stay away from alcohol. Forever. I feel so shitty right now.

Anyway...love this show. Watched all the episodes on demand about a week ago. It is basically "Tenacious Twee" but that works fine for me as i loved the original Tenacious D HBO show. I think FOTC have better songs, though.

Jermaine's my favorite of the two. He resembles my friend Justin (even sounds like him!), except skinny and from New Zealand.

Murray is just a great character.

I do not find them funny at all, but I also have not watched much.

also, theyre funny.

Jemaine's David Bowie speaking voice is actually a note perfect James Mason.

You know, that's true.

I don't know why anybody would prefer the stage show to the TV program: I saw some of those on YouTube and it looks like THEY ARE LAUGHING AT THEIR OWN JOKES. Well smirking at least. A little too They Might Be Giants for me. Plus the acoustic guitars interfere with their dance moves.

what episode did you see, laurel?

(just curious, btw, i'm not going to try to convert you or anything)

laurel, the first ep i watched i felt the same way but it only took another to hook me in.

Oh wow I just saw Ep 1 of this and it's my new favourite programme.

The one where a woman who works in a coffee shop tells one of the boys that she's shipping out to Iraq as a sniper in order to get him to sleep with her. And it comes out that their band manager has paid for like four boxes of sawdust instead of copies of their CD b/c he did a deal with someone "under the bridge". Etc.

I just saw it too (hurray freeview) and yeah, it's pretty good.

The songs are easily the best bits, though. That and "I'm looking for an Australian", which was during a song anyway.

The New Zealand posters in their manager's office were priceless.

OMG, of all the episodes to not be feeling! The big reveal on her teenage-boy infertility / blueballs technique get me laughing just vaguely thinking about it.

Not like Dave talking about seeing a puppy being born, but still

xpost: Haha, I didn't see! The 'NZ ROCKS!!!' one was pretty good, though, so if that's the guideline...

Also great (perhaps the neatest bit) was the fact that after the first song, it DIDN'T cut back to him at the party looking lonesome, as you'd expect, but it turned out to all have happened.

galdarn it, the USA are like five episodes ahead of us

One of them was for Lord of the Rings, and the other one said something like "It's Great! If You Don't Expect Too Much"

Finally saw all of season 1, have been rewatching it, and I have "Foux de Fa Fa" stuck in my head all the time at the moment.

NEW ZEALAND........COOL!

Chaki u should do a cover of "the most beautiful girl in the room" in your band =)

Not like Dave talking about seeing a puppy being born, but still

Not to mention the 'casual Prince' scene where he explains that his sublettors think they're his parents (the t-shirt, the blouse, "I know. It's creepy! I think they do it on the computer.")

Trayce, is that the 'part-time model' one?

ILX LIKES TO ROCK THE PARTY

^^^yes!

probably you should change it to most beautiful boy in the room just to be fair and accurate

FUK U

anyway since i moved away i dont have a band anymore :(

Trayce, is that the 'part-time model' one?

Yes! "You could be a part-time moodellll... or a high class prostitute". I love it.

you're a legend, dave.

I love it when he says "the gulab jamun is to DIE FOR", like it is some kind of awesome party drug lol.

"You could be a part-time moodellll...
"But you'll probably still have to keep your normal job."

Brown paper, white paper
Sticking together with the tape
The tape of love
The sticky stuff

A part-time model
Spending part of your time modeling
And part of your time next to me
My place is usually tidier than this

"Team Building Exercise 1999!"

I, also, watched Ep 1 this week. And spent ages trying to work out where I'd seen the American girl Jemaine was crushing on before. Thankfully, I realised.

ok why would you post that and not say from where? god.
