flight of the conchords

love mighty boosh

Rhys Darby is a fucking dude!

i came late to this show but completely love it

me too jim!

I like them ok but there's a lot of guys like this in NZ so it isn't too interesting

When do we get a second series?

Always thought that their one fan was actually probably pretty attractive, just not allowed to be by the programme.

i don't think another series would work, tbh. burned a lot of bridges with the final episode.

That's true.

On August 17, 2007, HBO announced a second season for Flight of the Conchords, originally set to premiere in 2008[7], but which has been postponed to January 2009. Prior to the announcement, Jemaine Clement stated in an interview with The New Zealand Herald, "[HBO] is interested in doing another series but we have to think about it. It's not a definite offer but they have talked about us starting writing but we've got other things we want to do as well".[8] Bret McKenzie has stated in several interviews that the band has used up "97 percent" of their old songs in the first season. In an interview with The Star Ledger, he said "We'd need some time to develop new material. It's like the second album syndrome. It might take a lot longer".[9] Shortly after the renewal announcement, Clement stated in an interview that the second season would likely consist of fewer than twelve episodes "so they could concentrate on 'quality not quantity'".
McKenzie and Clement returned to their home town of Wellington to write for the second season, although the writing process was delayed by the 2007-2008 Writers Strike. Filming for the 10 episode second series began in September 2008. That same month, McKenzie and Clement were quoted in a Q interview that the second series would most likely be the last.

Accoridn to imdb they started filming the second series in August and Michel Gondry is directing one episode.

I just checked out some of Rhys Darby's stand up, and he's an annoying funny noises comedian! Wouldn't have guessed at all.

I don't think this show is that funny, what episode should I watch to be convinced that it is that funny? I thought the Pet Shop Boys song was good but otherwise it just makes me chuckle a little bit a few times per episode

That's relaxed kiwi humour for you

I mean like y'know, it's ok, it's pretty funny I guess, it's not as funny as like Nathan Barley or Saxondale or something but it's better than Black Books

Oh yeah, a few weeks ago they taped an episode in the neighborhood where I live ... a bunch of signs were posted about it. So who knows, you mgiht see the mysterious burt_stanton walking in the background!

It is NOT better than Black Books.

I don't think this show is that funny, what episode should I watch to be convinced that it is that funny?

I find it to be accumulatively funny, the more you get to know each characters' little ticks and quirks the better it gets.

Also, give this a shot:

i liked "vous du fa fa" and "business"

this show is a trip

O RLY

Yeah really. And mostly they're kinda dicks, always making other people set them up for punchlines and shit

wait what? how does that work

They maintain a nonresponsive facade in response to increasingly excited attempts to get them to react, until such time as they can deliver an hilarious riposte. It is annoying. It's always girls they do it to, too. I don't know if I can explain it properly but it's kinda nasty to see, and it's ALWAYS guys like this. It's kinda an arrogant version of faux-naif type stuff.

Not that I have any idea if the FOTC guys're like this so I shouldn't have mentioned it really

Hall & Oates - I'm Just A Kid (Don't Make Me A Man)

uh whut

yeah i dont understand. at first you said 'there's alot of guys like this in NZ' and now it's 'i dont know if they're like this'. did you just say it cuz they're from nz?

pappawheelie OTM ie H&O. Doesn't seem that much of a coincidence anymore that Daryl Hall made a cameo last season.

wow, I have the first season on DVD, not done watching yet, but daryl hall is like my hero... did he have his trademark mustache? is second season on yet?

Oates has the moustache. I question your devotion to Daryl Hall.

oh yeah, got them flipped, I have a hangover

kinda sucks. they're really good guitar players though!!

lol

about two clips from the whole show aren't terrible. the jokes are awful, and the 'lol random!!' thing gets boring really quickly.

But I thought the whole point was that the songs sounded like actual good songs?

You mean like song parodies?

The songs are not very good.

The manager is funny.

youre so good at straightening my personal opinions out

What is the "lol random" thing in this show?

I don't know if there is a lol random thing to this show but the humor is you either get it or you don't.

and obviously if you don't think it's funny, your sense of humor is inferior to that of us elitists.
let me rephrase that. uhh. anyone not like futurama? you suck.

well maybe not suck.. I meant to say, you should hang out with people that have similar humor to you, and I will hang out with people who have similar humor to me. but don't cross the line. you wouldn't understand funny if it bit you in jewels.

I was wrong about this show, it rules!!

I got into it late as well, I dig it.

don't really dig Bret tho

I thank god every day that another antipodean singysongy comedy group - Tripod - didn't wind up with a succesful american tv show. those guys are srs cunts.

^^this

loooool

Murray>Jemaine>Bret

I like the fake NZ PSA for phones:

"With phones, YOU make the call!"

I was watching the last episode and thinking that Jemaine was way way funnier (and hotttter~) than Bret, but then Bret broke out into the angry dance and there were lols.

Yeah Tripod are no FotC, thats some straight up truth.
