Long live New Zealand

I cannot, and I repeat, cannot get enough of Jemaine and Bret. And I don't even have HBO.

Seriously. And an intense love for all things Bowie doesn't hurt.

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this show also! It's the first show in a long time that has made me snort with laughter (that's a good thing)!

another non HBO sufferer! They are hilarious.
My kids currently say "aaah crap" a lot, which is funny but I am always on them to stop.
Did Yoda die? I haven't gotten to that part yet.

There is a very entertaining Flight of the Conchords podcast available on iTunes... and it's free!

Have a great day!

Hi Cathy
If you love Neil and Flight of the Conchords, then one day you should come and visit us down here in NZ!!
Cheers, Lisa

These guys are the only reason to watch HBO. And probably the best show on tv right now. They freakin' crack me up! I love seeing/hearing them attempt to rap - nothing is more cringe/laugh worthy than that!!! I love the fact that these guys are unabashedly what Spinal Tap would be if they were less successful, less egotistical and lived in their parents basement still. Love it!!!!

Posted by: Nicole | July 24, 2007 at 08:03 PM

oh my goodness yes - Business Time is definitely a favorite - I laugh until tears fall every time!
Off to watch it again now in fact...

OK....you HAVE to get HBO. Flight of the Conchords is so hilarious. At first I thought it was just going to be a too-long Saturday Night Live skit....but it is actually much funnier. I am in love with Jemaine.

FYI - The clips on the HBO site are actually edited...they are longer and include more laughs on the show. Another reason to get HBO.

The group did a BBC2 6-part radio show a couple of years ago. It seems like most of the songs and stories thus far on HBO have come from that. It's nearly all been used up now though. The one and only NEIL FINN was one of the main characters. Hilarious little bits he did. You can read about the series here.

or download it from amazon here.

Even though a lot of it seems like a repeat, still well worth listening to :)

FOTC is the thing that got me to comment after being a dedicated, but anonymous reader for quite a long while.

Can't tell if my links will work so I may just have to leave 2 comments!

Thanks, Cathy. I love them, too.

Jemaine and Bret rock. Bowie rocks. How about the passport camera? I almost peed myself I laughed so hard. And when Murray said, "We need to this thing called a photo shoot..." Ah, rock and roll...

Posted by: Krista | July 25, 2007 at 03:11 PM

Hear hear to coming down this way for a visit!! :) There's be a few places with beds available for you and yours I'm sure! :)

Posted by: Kelly | July 25, 2007 at 05:10 PM

Have you heard about the movie that one of these guys is in? The Eagle vs. the Shark? http://www.eaglevsshark.net/ It looks hysterical! And maybe just your thing!

Love these guys! HBO is worth it for Flight of the Conchords, as well as Bill Maher...who returns in August.

Posted by: Pixella | July 28, 2007 at 11:55 PM

I am proud to say I have had HBO for years. To entertain me, you have to make me laugh. That's all, just laugh. And I will be a loyal fan until the laughter stops. And then I move on. But, oh the Chonchords. HipHopapotamus? that's brilliant! Just have Jemaine say "Penguin" several times and I melt like butter, a giggling pat of melty butter...I wonder if I could download "Do you remember the penquins?" as my cell phone ring?

    Pete Burns. He just confounds me. Like, I just can't not look at him. Not that I think he's a freak per se, but maybe a titch. Yet in a weird way, I admire him. Maybe it's just his fabulous hair? His house mates seemed to like it, AND be slightly nervous at the same time.
  • Don't Leave Me this Way
    Seriously. Sing it, girl. I know that Jimmy Sommerville did a fun dancey cover, but you can't touch this. It makes me get up, and dance like an idiot in my office.

    It drags a bit in the middle, but I just watched this and had tears in my eyes. Especially at the end. (Thanks, Krista!)

    The fact that a) this is real and b) one of their offices is in my hometown, make me want to move there and buy my car insurance from them. (Thanks, Mr. Landin)
