Flight of the Conchords

[DaytonBuck]

New show on HBO, has anyone watched this yet? Worth my time?

 

[LadyBuckeye]

Sorry, I haven't seen it. I've never even heard of it until just now. Let me know if it's any good, though.

There's just something annoying to me about English accents. So, I don't watch the show.

*New Zealand accents :p

I tried to watch it. It is pretty terrible. Too many weird songs.

I think it's really funny (very tongue-in-cheek and sarcastic) -- their songs are hilarious. Here are a few of my favorites:

It's funny if you like off the wall humor. I laughed a lot at first, but after awhile it just got old. I think its a lot like Napoleon Dynamite. It's very clever, but the first few times you watch it you think to yourself "this is awful". then once you watch it a few more times you start to appreciate it.

I'm with Sushi. I love dry humor and theirs is arid.

Every week I laugh harder and harder. But you have to like that type of humor and you have to give it time. (If you have the capability to turn on closed captions during their songs I would recommend it.)

If you don't think the idea of an Indian fruit vendor racially discriminating against New Zealanders because he mistakenly thinks they are Australians is funny you might not like this show.

that part was pretty funny

Two minutes of heaven is better than one minute of heaven.

Another funny scene:

Murray: I?ve told you when you?re in a band, you don?t get with your band mates girlfriends, past or present. You get in a love triangle, you know? You get a Fleetwood Mac situation. Although there was four of them so more of a love square, but no one gives on. They did do some of their best music back then.
Bret: Rumours
Murray: No, that?s all true.

I like weird humor, but this just didn't connect with me.

I thought the one song where they were robots was funny, fwiw.

I'm not surprised, but I am sleepy.

Greenies to you for finding that!

 

[Taosman]

I don't get that channel, but I now want a pair of fluorescent suspenders!
Or a fireman's coat or what ever the heck that was.

I'm gonna have to give this one a go and catch up with the series. The Indian Fruit Vendor bit sounds hilarious.
