Flight of the Conchords (comedy duo & TV series)

Diamond Star · 06-01-2008

Flight of the Conchords is an American television sitcom that follows the adventures of the Flight of the Conchords, a folk duo from New Zealand, as its members seek fame and success in New York City. The show portrays a fictionalized version of the real-life duo, Jemaine Clement and Bret McKenzie, who play themselves. Though in reality Clement and McKenzie are a comedy duo and perform music parodies, their characters within the series take themselves and their music seriously.-Wikipedia.org.uk

Funny, well acted and written, with great songs, anyone else seen it/love it?

flyme2themoon · 06-01-2008

It's one of my favorite shows. I'm excited for the second season to start!

Thank you for the thread, Diamond Star!

"If You're Into it" is just an amazing song. Hands down.

Every guy should learn it. It would sweep me off of my feet personally.

chaneladdict · 13-01-2008

I LOOOVE this show. The one with David Bowie solidified my love. I can't stop listening to Business Time, I love the line " Team Building Exercise '99". Great stuff.

THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST SHOWS EVER. Can't wait for series two.

I want a t-shirt with "It's business time" on the front and "Cause two minutes in heaven is better than one minute in heaven" on the back.

I also want an album so I can put it on my iPod.

I read this interview about the guy who plays Murray and he said that people come up to him and seriously don't believe NZ is a real country and that their accents are just made up. Now I don't know every single country in the world but come on look it up.

They do have a small EP called "The Distant Future."

I love how they play off of this in the show, with the comments about them being English, etc.

Its kinda sad but not surprising

^Inner City Pressure is another one of my highlights

papa_levante · 21-01-2008

Actually I lied.

They have 2 CDs out. One is "Folk the World Tour" with random acts from random shows put together on one CD. Fairly good.

Another is the BBC Radio Series with 5 discs. (I hear it's pretty rare, but eBay seems to be selling them.)

Nice signature, chaneladdict!
