Flight of the Conchords is a HBO t.v. show that reminds me of Napoleon Dynamite.
Rating: Some episodes contain the F word. Some jokes got me in trouble with my wife. And sometimes the content crosses the line. So if you watch it, and are offended, it's your own fault because you have been warned.
Recommendation: Orville Redenbacher HIGHLY recommends this show.
Highlights:
The show is extremely quotable.
The show is clever and different.
The show features hilarious music you can download and listen too.
No commercials.
The first season is 12 episodes long, which mean about 6 hours of top quality comedy.
A second season is in the works.
During the "Lord of the Rings" music video the Conchords dress up like midgets/hobbits.
Disappointments:
No explosions.... That I can remember.
Here is a taste of the show:
Jemaine: Hey, Brett, I think I know where I went wrong.
Bret: Hmm?
Jemaine: I think I know where I went wrong last night.
Bret: Yeah?
Jemaine: Yeah, Sally wanted to leave when you turned the light on. I think she found it weird - the whole thing with you there with the - with the light ... on.
Bret: Yeah, I think it might also be because she and I used to go out.
Jemaine: Yeah. It's 'cause you and her used to go out, but also because of the thing with the light. She's thinking, "Oh this is a nice situation." But then, "Ugh, who-- who turned on the light?
Bret: Yeah. Yeah, maybe. But I think it's mainly because her and I used to go out... for like six months.
Jemaine: Yeah, well -- yeah, it's mainly because you used to go out, but also mainly because of the whole situation with the light.
Bret: Yeah, but the last thing you want to see when you're hooking up is your ex in the same room.
Jemaine: Yeah, and you also don't want to be startled by a light, do you?
