I first stumbled upon Flight of the Conchords two days ago and I’m finding them to be quite excellent. FOTC is a two-man comedic folk band from New Zealand with an HBO show of the same name. I haven’t been able to watch the full show, but I’ve seen as much as I can at this point. They sing/say crazy funny lyrics with a straight face and look great doing it! Flight of the Conchords is made up of the big-lipped, oft bespectacled Jemaine Clement (Hiphopopotamus) and higher-voiced, curly-haired Bret McKenzie (Rhymenocerous). If you have talked to me lately or are planning on doing so soon, chances are that I’m going to be raving about these guys to you or just looking like a dork quoting them to myself.
“Come on sucker, lick my battery.”
Yep. Just like that.
Here’s one of my favorites thus far:
Business Time
Things that I particularly like to note in that video: Jemaine doing his sultry voice, Jemaine’s sexy dance, and the true meaning of business socks
To be fair to Bret, here’s a good one showing more of him:
The Humans Are Dead
In this, I particularly fancy: Jemaine’s robot voice, the two seconds of laser sounds, Bret’s binary solo.
I trust you know how to work your way around YouTube. Now go forth and FOTC-erize yourselves!
