FatHand Posted July 15, 2008 Report Share Posted July 15, 2008 I love these guys. YouTube - Flight of the Conchords Ep 10 'Ladies of the World'Don't think there are any of their songs that I don't like. Really want to see the live show.

Swingin' Ryan Posted July 15, 2008 Report Share Posted July 15, 2008 I like their songs but I think the best thing about them is the sitcom itself, I think it stands out as a really brilliant comedy programme with or without the musical interludes.Before I'd actually seen the series, I assumed it was some kind of musi-comedy sketch show with a succession of parodies of different genres, but in reality it's a brilliant 'lo-fi' kind of sitcom in the style of The Office or Curb Your Enthusiasm. The guy who plays Murray is brilliant.I love the bit when they're discussing Quincy Jones. Murray:What are some albums that he's done, Bret?Bret: Michael Jackson's "Off The Wall"Murray: I'll say he is...he's off the planet. Wants to freeze himself, doesn't he?I'm also possibly a little bit in love with kristin schaal who plays the mad fan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FatHand Posted July 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2008 Have you seen any of their stand up show? It's got all the charm of the TV show. My mates came across them at the Edinburgh Festival by accident a few years ago. I pretty jealous, think it would be hilarious and the songs are better live. I've spent far too much time watching them on youtube. My favourite clip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross. Posted July 15, 2008 Report Share Posted July 15, 2008 "Can somebody please remove these cutleries from my knees"I can't recommend the radio programme to people enough- very similar to the TV show except it's set in the UK as opposed to New York. Rob Brydon does a brilliant job as narrator.Fact of the day- those Phones 4 U adverts from a few years back starred Bret and Jermaine. You'll no doubt remember it- two guys with acoustics in a van ("phones, for you, for less, at Phones 4 U"). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metarie Posted July 15, 2008 Report Share Posted July 15, 2008 Winner! Love the Conchords. I've been watching and downloading clips for the last few months and finally bought the DVD on the weekend.Everyone I've met who likes them thinks they're the only one, it's ace. You can be in the middle of a conversation, drop in a random quote which you're sure is going to be ignored and they say the next bit back. Love it.'I'm not crying, I've just been chopping some onions. I'm making a lasagne...for one' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And how can you say that?What makes me a mindless philistine? Because YOU disagree with me? Well Stripey, I've heard your music and I think its complete garbage, repetative and could be made by most children with a computer, but normally I still don't feel the need to have a go at your intelligience.And yes. if it was just this one opinion fine, but almost every single thread you have some negative comment about something or other. You seem like the type of spineless bastard who likes to be completely non-conformist sitting behind a computer screen, or on a forum, but wouldn't dare say that to anyones faces.

Because YOU disagree with me? .No, the evidence speaks for itself. and please, do try and move on from "your opinion is invalid because i dont like your music" and "ohhh look at you being all tough behind a computer" every time your opinion is challenged. It's so childish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lovers_spit Posted July 16, 2008 Report Share Posted July 16, 2008 and please, do try and move on from "your opinion is invalid because i dont like your music" Yeah the point I was making was, I really dislike something you enjoy, but I don't think you are a moron because you are into different things.

I think they do a good job though.I think the actual sitcom itself though surpasses their stuff as an actual comedy-band or their stage show. It's actually a shame that people focus far more on their songs than their actual ability as great comic actors. Jermaine is actually brilliant in Eagle vs Shark.

I get a sinking feeling every time I see a standup comedian come on stage with a guitar in their hands.I feel exactly the same way, so had been avoiding hearing any of their material. I heard the "funky sexy ladies" song tonight however and thought it was alright - certainly better than most of the comedy songs you'd ever hear.The problem with songs/skits like these is that the joke quickly wears off and yr left with the horrors of novelty music.

Neil Posted July 16, 2008 Report Share Posted July 16, 2008 As others have already mentioned, it's definitely worth checking out their sitcom of which these songs only play a small part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
