6/18/2007 12:00:31 AM

I think this show could be great

6/18/2007 12:19:38 AM

I thought it was great. I'm definitely gunna keep up with it.

the first ep is available online at http://www.hbo.com/conchords

6/18/2007 12:22:48 AM

loved it!

6/18/2007 12:24:06 AM

I thought it was kind of stupid

The motherfucker with the big lips is kind of funny tho

6/18/2007 12:29:04 AM

they made a binary joke

i kind of <3 this show

6/18/2007 12:30:04 AM

I still love Jemaine Clement

they're basically sliding their old material into the shows, but it's still cute

I'm not cryin'
No, I'm not cryin'
And if I am cryin' it's not because of you
It's because I'm thinkin' about a friend of mine you don't know who is dyin'- that's right, dyin'
These aren't tears of sadness because you're leaving me, I'm just cutting onions
I'm makin' a lasagna... for one

and

you're so beautiful, you could be a part-time model

made me LOL

6/18/2007 1:58:46 AM

I thought it was hit or miss. some parts were really funny, some parts were pretty lame. I guess I'll keep watching

6/18/2007 9:33:16 AM

hands down, the dumbest shit on tv

6/18/2007 8:54:46 PM

^you must not watch a lot of TV

6/18/2007 8:57:51 PM

wonderful instant fan

6/18/2007 10:01:50 PM

^^i sure don't but im usually a big fan of hbo shows. This just isn't funny to me though. This thread is the first good review I've read or heard of the show, I think it will get canned.

6/18/2007 10:12:16 PM

some people just dont get it

6/18/2007 10:15:39 PM

^^ it's a show based on the material of those two guys, Flight of the Conchords
if you don't like their comedy songs, then no, you probably won't like the show
it's not a traditional HBO series

its mostly cause her and i used to go out








for like 6 months

6/19/2007 8:00:55 AM

if this a spinoff of their other material it may just have the same fate as Stella....which would suck. that would be two

6/19/2007 8:48:58 AM

^^^^I get it, I mean it certainly doesn't take a nuclear physicist to understand their jokes. I just think the humor is weak, and won't be embraced in America.

unless you remember tenacious D or a number of other shows they've done based on comedy routines.

6/19/2007 9:18:15 AM

well I mean in the sense that it's not anything like Deadwood or Six Feet Under

6/19/2007 8:59:37 PM

So it's not a traditional HBO series in that it's like their older, more established series, rather than their newer, shorter lived types of series? Okay.

6/19/2007 10:48:27 PM

Yes.

6/19/2007 11:06:47 PM

yeah the whole part time model song was the best! Not sure if I can get into it too much though... the stalker fan was great though.

6/19/2007 11:33:44 PM

Great stuff, these guys are genius. Love the subtle parts of the show (like the New Zealand posters in the background of the manager's office and some of the fading dialogue).

6/19/2007 11:45:20 PM

binary song was funny and so was the camera phone music video. there was also a ton of stuff that was beyond terrible.

6/19/2007 11:54:57 PM

^^^ the stalker fan is based on a real person

they had a show called "Flight of the Conchords - A Texan Odyssey" (covering their trip to the SXSW music festival) where they meet a girl from a website called "What the Folk" and she literally carries a picture of Jermaine's lips in her purse with the pictures of her kids. Jermaine looks really freaked out by her.

-You know, a love triangle. A Fleetwood Mac situation. Except that there were four of them, so it was more like a love square. No one gets on. Mind you, they did make some of their best music back then.
-Rumours
-No, that's all true.

They are performing on Conan tonight

6/20/2007 12:43:14 AM

yeah i like these guys, i've been lookin forward to the show bein on. i caught their hbo special awhile back and thought it was hilarious. i agree that the overall presentation of the show is a little off with the sometimes lame way they go about working the songs in, but I'll take it. Their shit's pretty funny.

6/20/2007 3:14:24 AM

bttt

6/21/2007 12:14:49 AM

how does the search function fail so miserably?


I typed in this title exactly

6/21/2007 12:19:42 AM

search only finds older threads
which is why scanning the first couple pages of the forum is a good idea

6/22/2007 5:38:30 PM

Fuck that review i bailed after it said confusing title.

6/22/2007 5:42:23 PM

another goodie

6/24/2007 11:03:32 PM

yea, the america that loved according to jim?

great judge of comedy, america is

6/25/2007 8:47:35 AM

I wonder if they are going to work in all of their songs from the special or just some of them.

6/25/2007 11:46:13 AM

I really liked last night's episode

6/25/2007 12:03:08 PM

This show almost has me hooked. Saw the 1st two episodes and love'em. Hell last night I got home late and only had time to watch this or Entourage before bed. And I picked the Conchords!

6/25/2007 1:47:19 PM

"You're so hot...i want to tell you that you're hot but I don't want to be sexist...you're so hot you make me sexist......bitch"

6/25/2007 1:50:07 PM

another great episode

6/25/2007 1:58:14 PM

we need a video up in here

6/25/2007 8:44:44 PM

remind me of tenacious d - british style


very hilarious show

6/25/2007 8:56:44 PM

^ except that they're from New Zealand, not the British Isles

6/25/2007 9:51:31 PM

What's your name?

Bret.

Brit?

Bret.

Brit?

Bret.

Brit? Like... Britney?

Bret. B-r-e-t.

OH! Bret.

[Edited on June 25, 2007 at 10:18 PM. Reason : watching her form her mouth to say "Bret" with a NZ accent was probably the funniest part]

6/25/2007 10:17:39 PM

doh this is the right thread. good songs

6/26/2007 9:23:55 PM

I like the live version they did of the boom song better, it was faster than the one in the show.

I wonder if they are going to use Alby the Racist Dragon in the show.
