Flight of the Conchords

Post by Stainless »

I watched these guys alot on YouTube, and picked up thier first season today. I think the general story arcs and stuff are pretty funny, but some of the songs they interspace through-out the episodes range so much from being awesome or utterly shit. I feel like I'm panning for gold.

Actually a very well-spoken metaphor for their show.

I feel the same way, except I get this nagging feeling that the haphazard song quality is supposed to be some pretentious meta-humor that kinda isn't that funny. Probably just me though.

Funny monolouge, but the music is just not that good.

I remember when Tripod were fresh. How quickly it turned. They Would Not Go Away And Where Everywhere, Suddenly.

Would that I could rid my mind of their memetic asininity. :drunk:

A show lampooning hipsters. Could be funny if it weren't for one inherent contradiction: lampooning hipsters is a favored hipster pastime, as no hipster thinks themself a hipster.
my vocabulary skills is above you.

I enjoy the show, some of the songs are good, though I enjoy just the regular sitcom portion much better. I think Murray might be the best character.

Season 2 is on HBO now, FYI - and the entire episode is for free if you'd like to watch it.

"Yes sometimes my lyrics are sexist but you lovely bitches and hoes should know I'm trying to correct this..."

"I dont' know if you are keen to, but if you'd like Stu and I could double-team you..."

oh lyrics....OH lyrics.....
