Lou-Lou's friend recently loaned her season one of this show, and we ploughed through the entire thing in one day. Like most comedy series' you need to give it a good few episodes to get used to the style of humour, but the songs were an instant hit. It's hard to describe really... It's like The Mighty Boosh meets Napoleon Dynamite...
Highly recommended.
According to HBO: "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. "

HAHAHA i think i just ruined it for myself. Is he a Sam crush? You forgot to add a cross between Mighty Boosh, Napoleon Dynamite AND R Kelly's Trapped In The Closet...well from what i saw anyway!
did you enjoy that snippet? it's a grand show - cannae wait for you to watch it. i didn't think of the trapped in the closet comparison but i definitely agree... and perhaps yes, i might have a teensy bit of crush on bret...
