novelty music scene magazine

I'm so glad the shows are on YT, I'd never have seen it otherwise. I love this show and I keep replaying the live version of "She's So Hot BOOM!" which is awesomeness.

I've had that part in whatever that one song about tape of love where Jemaine goes PEOPLE PEOPLE PAPER PAPER PAPER PAPER PEOPLE PEOPLE etc stuck in my head all day.

I only just realized halfway through ep 7 that his name is Jemaine and not actually Jermaine as all the Americans pronounce it.

teardrops turn into jellybeans

yah albi the racist dragon was great and is better upon repeat viewings. as well as the bowie ep. "jemaine, you look like an ogre that works at the library."

I liked Mel better when she was hot for both of 'em, at some point she lost interest in Jemaine entirely.

i think you're over analyzing mel a bit there.

Have you guys seen the doco on their SXSW shows? They have some frightening real-life fans, these guys. Scary american women.

yeah, it's great!
(also, chaki linked to it yesterday, just upthread there)

Oh right, I didnt realise thats what that URL was, I saw it on YT :)

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

i've had "leggy blonde" stuck in my head since sunday night.

i had a budgie, but it died.
i like pie!

business time and love games from the mighty boosh would work well on a mixtape i would try to give to a girl.

oh man this show

Ive also had "business time" and "She's so hot BOOM!" stuck in my head all week. I keep going around the house doing little wiggly dances singing "you like boom, i like boom" to myself haha.

i think its safe to say these guys are totally blowin the fuck up. hbo better renew.

I wonder why Tripod never hit this market in the same way?

no LotR connection or HBO deal

NEW ZEALAND ... ROCKS!

bret's devotion to the 1983 casio dg-20 (which my father has!) is quite inspirational.

best moment in any of their songs!

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:
