flight of the conchords

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

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

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.

I still think one of the most surprising things about this show is how easily it manages to make New York look nice. There are parts of the first few episodes where it's all golden-glowy downtown summer streets better than any picturesque NYC film I've ever seen.

man they should just get rid of the band and have the show be all murray imo

Ha, okay, here's another surprising thing: do y'all realize that Rhys Darby looks WAY WAY BETTER as Murray, with goatee, than he does just being Rhys Darby?

loooove murray. like the rest.

wahey, nabisco not otm. it's a marquee moment.

You think everyday Rhys Darby looks better than Murray, or you think this show doesn't make downtown NYC look kinda summery-glowy and picturesque?

he looks like the douche he is supposed to with the goatee. he looks like an alrite dude there. you are solid with the NYC observation.

To each his own but just for reference:

I mean, one looks like a Harry Potter movie and the other looks like some guy who's going to keep asking to borrow your car even though no way is that happening

well yeah, i guess he looks like 2 different kinds of douche there.

man they should just get rid of the band and have the show be all murray imo

tbombin

anybody seen that joint "testees" on fx thats basically conchords w/o the songs?? its dumb as fuck but i loled pretty hard when i caught 2 eps while drunk

I saw the ep about the love potion that turned all the old ladies horny. It was kinda awful, but not as much as I had expected. Very clear FotC influence though, with a little Spaced thrown in. Felt very Canadian to me, is it?
