Flight of the Conchords

Anyone watching this? It is hilarious. I can't remember the last time I watched something that made me laugh so much outloud.

I absolutely love this show.. I started watching it two weeks ago and I am up to episode 6.. It is just so funny...I am telling all my friends to watch it if they get a chance. I love the stalker girl. It has been renewed for a second series. I wonder will it ever get shown over here??

Mr E

I bought their EP (just released 2 weeks ago). Talented guys.

Brilliant news. I love this show so much. I've watched the whole series so far. Episode 8 is hilarious.

Hopefully someone will pick it up, I reckon it'd do really well if it was.

I know, usually when I find a good show I have no desire to see it shown here (selfish I know but I like having my own special little treats) but this one is different. I'm dying for my friends to see it so that I can talk about it! I mean, come on...rhymenoceros? Hiphopopotomos? You're so beautiful you could be a waitress... Its just hilarious.

It's a great show but i maintain that i like the "live" versions of a lot of their songs better.

Mr E

I agree. Some of the songs seem shoehorned into the show (almost like they wrote the show around the songs). How else could they put Albe the Racist Dragon in there?

Go onto youtube and search for conchords for a good laugh.

That's definitely the case with most of the songs. They've already performed a lot of the songs as part of their live act so it was just a case of trying to fit them into the TV show. Some work perfectly and others look shoehorned. The French song in episode 8 works brilliantly I think.

It's actually quite a good song, very much like the stuff you'd hear from Dimitri From Paris.

I'm trying not to look at too much of their stuff so that I will enjoy it to the fullest extent in the context of the TV show. Really just love it.

Just watched the episode with the David Bowie dream sequences... Hillarious.

That actually sounds like a line from one of their songs.

I know - Jermaine as Bowie - AMAZING! I love it. I sat in bed last night on my own pissing myself laughing...its the best.

The conchords got picked up for a second season! Time to party like my grans tea party

Saw those guys play in Dolans in Limerick a couple of years back. They did indeed play a few of those songs even back then so they've obviously built the tv show around them

They're great though.

They're from Wellington in New Zealand

I was hoping to go to a festival in the states recently that they were playing at but unfortunately i didn't have enough notice.
Am hoping to catch them live at some point somewhere!

Mr E
