Don't kill me if there's already a thread about this show...


hahaha omg, I love this show, I just watched them all on demand, and I have to say, I am in love with Bret. I really really hope it keeps going.

If you haven't seen it, it's on HBO. I don't think there's a current season right now though.

    I saw some Flight of the Conchord live on TV and I was cracking up laughing. They were two guys playing the guitar and singing songs. Do they do this on the show?

    The show's coming soon to the UK. I've seen ads about it.

    most of the music on the show is like crazy songs and videos they fantasize about. It's hilarious.

    I think one of my favorite songs has to be "boom king." Whose de boom king? I'm de boom king! oh and the mermaid song! "Do you have mermaid parties under the sea? (am I invited?) At these parties do you smoke sea weed? (if so how do you light it?)"

    Which one is Bret?

    I love that show, but I've only seen one of them. The first episode, I think. The one with the part-time model song... :D

    While glitz and glamour reigned at the Grammy awards in Los Angeles, in Wellington Jemaine Clement and Bret McKenzie found out in a down-to-earth way that they had won best comedy album.

    "I had heard a rumour that we had won it and I did a news check on Google," Clement said yesterday.

    "Then I texted Bret."

    The pair celebrated last night by having dinner in Wellington with friends.

    "It is amazingly flattering, just because of the many great people that have won it, and great people were up for it this year," Clement said.

    As folk parody duo Flight of the Conchords, Clement and McKenzie won the award for their EP The Distant Future, featuring a song about robots taking over Earth.

    It beat albums by acts including Harry Shearer, of Spinal Tap and The Simpsons fame, and standup legend Steven Wright.

    McKenzie was rapt. "The pressure's on," he joked.

    "It's a great day for New Zealand musical comedy. I wish my grandmothers were still alive. They would be so proud and could call them and say, 'Granny, I've won a Grammy'."

    Clement said the award was announced at a separate low-key ceremony yesterday before the main event.

    "We were with all the weirder colours of the spectrum - the best polka album and best Hawaiian album."

    The Distant Future was the eighth-biggest-selling comedy recording in the United States last year. The duo will release their debut full studio album in April.

    New Zealand-born singer Keith Urban picked up his second Grammy yesterday, after winning in 2006. Fran Walsh won in 2005.

    Best show ever. I e-mailed Arj Barker (the hilarious Dave on the show) from his site and asked him when the new season should begin, he was a nice enough fella to write back and say "I hear it's on. Filming should start in the summer. Nothing set in stone yet".

    Should see new episodes in the early Fall.
