    Flight of the Conchords

    Missed this on tv, but Mr p has purchased the boxed set of series 1 and we are watching it - utterly utterly brilliant.

    Anyone else a fan?
    I'm sorry, but I'll make no apologies for this

    They are great from what I've seen of the stage shows, but to be honest, I found the series a little dull. Good to see Lucy "Xena" Lawless make an appearance though.

    This is funny:

      Love it. Love Murray. The poster in his office is quality too. "New Zealand - Ewe should come" - class.

        I have tried to listen to this in the radio versions.

        I would rather remove my own eyeballs with a fork than try again.

        "The most spectacularly dull, inane and pathetic rubbish ever to be broadcast" was what I concluded at the time.

        Plot summary: some inept people don't get on when on the road.

        I'll laugh when a dog farts but this programme held less appeal than that.

            There's one that says "New Zealand: Just like Scotland, but further away".

              I've noticed females seem to find them funny more than men. IMHO they are not funny.
              The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

              But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”

                I liked the songs loads.
                I liked the radio show quite a lot.
                I liked the TV show a little bit.

                  I caught a couple of episodes while on a plane once and have been hooked ever since. Am ploughing through season two at the moment.

                  There are some dud episodes in season one though. I have a suspicion that this is down to some of the episodes being written by other writers in order to get the total number of episodes in a series up to American standards.

                    I like it and I'm not a poof.

In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson
