Flight of The Conchords

Been watching this show recently and it's pretty good, very much up my alley. I'm thinking novelty music is going to be my new favorite thing becuase it very much lacks any pretence whatsoever.

Flight of the Conchords is fanfuckingtastic. Businesstime is the best song ever.
It's quite different as a New Zealand audience, though, as most of the show is adaptions of their standup which we've been seeing for many years. Good to see them spread to a wider audience though.

The show is really more an adaptation of their radio series which, obviously, borrows from their act. I mean, Murray alone is a huge addition.

Fun Fact: Brent Mckenzie was in Lord of the Rings.

I absolutely love this show. There is a definite charm to it.

I think the only full episode I've ever seen was the Doggy Dance one.

I probably stopped watching because I don't think it's possible for the show to get better than that.

Fifth, you mean DOGGIE BOUNCE. Don't forgett the bongo-solo.

Flight of the Conchords is not only one of my favourite shows but also one of my favourite bands.

Murray is possibly the one thing that makes the show seemingly differrent from their live shows. And sort of better also. I mean, Murray is brilliant.

Yeah both parts of that are true, it's just their radio shows never really played over here. And Murray is fantastic.

Personally my favourite was the Bowie episode.

I started going through the episodes just now. It seems I'm having a hard time to choose one favourite.

I find myself wondering how accurate the New Zealander/ Aussie conflicts are. 'Just pullin' your tit mate' 'just pullin' your boob'. Haha, poor Murray...

And seriously love the music videos. They have this observational-humor thing going on, like the 'Seinfeld' of music almost.

I don't know if you are praising or condoning the show.
