Sunday Night – Flight of the Conchords sends

HBO’s Flight of the Conchords sends me away with a lot of chuckles.  This weeks episode was no different.  I think the thing that makes it so funny is because it feels so real.  The show makes you laugh at yourself.  I don’t want to be a spoiler so I won’t reveal this week’s shows plot.  The did sing a song that I liked.   And you can see that they have already won a Grammy and have an album out.  After this weeks show I made a note to myself to buy their album.  And right now, I’m not spending any money at all.

“I’ve got hurt feeling”.  This weeks show featured a lot of dramatic twists and turns in the plot.  And even included some real dramatic fight dancing (reminded me of West Side Story’s dancing fights, but different of course).  Simply ingenious.  I love this kind of creativity.  It cannot be rated high enough! 

And you know after listening to their lyrics, you know that they have a real gift for writing lyrics that are ingenius. 

Here’s a web site where you can read about this weeks show [spoiler alert].  I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!  http://www.avclub.com/articles/the-tough-brets,23269/

HBO’s Flight of the Conchord

My newest addiction after HBO’s “True Blood” HBO’s Flight of the Conchord (http://www.hbo.com/conchords/).  It’s quirky and fun.  And most of all makes me laugh.  The actors, Jemaine Clement and Bret McKenzie are from New Zealand.  They play two illegal immigrants muscians trying  to make it as a band in New York City.  And naturally, they are failing miserably and experiencing the poorer side of life. 

In last week’s issue, they live together and only own one cup.  So when they’re having breakfast, Bret has to wait for Jemaine to finish his tea, before he can enjoy a hot cup of tea himself.  And so in an extravagant move Bret buys another cup for $2.79.  And this extravagant act culminates in causing their bank account to bounce which leads to Bret having to sell his guitar to cover the bank fees on their bank account.  Next you see both Jemaine and Bret playing in a local bar and Bret’s playing air guitar.   Their manager sees them and is outraged at their performance.   And on the show goes on.  So the rest of the show is about how Jemaine and Bret seek out says to find them to get the extra money they need.  Including prostitution. 

By the way, I love the performance of Rhys Darby the Conchords’ manager (he was also in “Yes Man” with Jim Carrey).  Always amusing and very entertainment, I hope you check out this new HBO series.
