Flight of the Conchords

Apart from the searchable youtube videos by this comedy duo from New Zealand (just enter "Flight of the Conchords" into the search box), I found a whole load of Flight of the Conchords videos from their HBO site. Bret Mckenzie and Jemaine Clement make up this duo. Bret, the shorter skinnier one, was a hobbit in LOTR and is also founding member of the Wellington International Ukulele Orchestra. Jemaine is the bigger one with the sexy low voice and emo glasses.

Here's what the HBO site had to say about their show.

Flight of the Conchords follows the trials and tribulations of a two man, digi-folk band from New Zealand as they try to make a name for themselves in their adopted home of New York City. The band is made up of Bret McKenzie on guitar and vocals, and Jemaine Clement on guitar and vocals.

Bret and Jemaine have moved to New York in the hope of forging a successful music career. So far they've managed to find a manager (whose "other" job is at the New Zealand Consulate), one fan (a married obsessive) and one friend (who owns the local pawn shop) -- but not much else.


This particular video is from episode 8 and it's called "Foux Da Fa Fa".



And this next one is from episode 3.It's called "Hip-Hopopotamus vs. The Rhymenocerous".
