Flight of the Conchords: HBO Premiere

A little late today, still recov­er­ing from last night’s bowl­ing…

But worth the wait! The first epis­ode of the Flight of the Conchords’ HBO show is now online for your view­ing pleas­ure.



(Hat-tips to the vari­ous people who were kind enough to point this out to us. Tobin, Jessie, and someone else who’s name eludes me now.)

Flight of the Conchords: Albi the racist dragon

Wel­ling­ton’s favour­ite com­edy export aren’t here for the NZ Inter­na­tion­al Com­edy Fest­iv­al (lots of good acts are though, click through for more info), so you’ll just have to make do with our weekly wed­nes­day Flight of the Conchords clip…

“It’s bet­ter now.”

Flight of the Conchords: Something for the Ladies

Thank­fully the boys’ HBO show seems to be com­ing along nicely, so we should have a new source of clips any­time soon.

In the mean­time, here’s one for the ladies…

mwhahahahaha


The com­edy Fest­iv­al hits town on Sunday
Yes just as we get those first blasts of winter and that lack of sun depres­sion hits, people vis­it town with one pur­pose and one pur­pose alone: to make you Laugh.

The mighty Para­mount Theat­er kicks off the Wel­ling­ton Com­edy Fest­iv­al on Tues­day 8 May with the open­ing night extra­vag­anza – First Laughs

If you can­’t make a decision on who to see my pick is Late Laughs at the San Fran­cisco Bath­house every Fri­day and Sat­urday night. Noth­ing beats a mix of com­ics cut­ting loose late at night, alco­hol and their com­pet­it­ive instincts kick to make for for a rather excel­lent even­ing.

Flight of the Conchords: Bowie Song

It’s Wed­nes­day! Time for some Conchords…

Does the space cold make your nipples go all pointy?
And do you use your pointy nipples as tele­scop­ic antenna trans­mit­ting data back to Earth?
I bet you do you, you freaky old bas­tard you,
Do you have one really funky sequinned space­suit, man?
Or do you have sev­er­al ch-ch-ch-ch-changes?

Flight of the Conchords: Jenni

Nearly for­got! Flight of the Conchords Wed­nes­day!

“What a hil­ari­ous mis­un­der­stand­ing!”

Flight of the Conchords: Hiphopopotamus v. Rhymenoceros

Anoth­er Wed­nes­day, anoth­er Flight of the Conchords video clip for your enjoy­ment.

Yeah they call me the Hipho­po­pot­amus,
My lyr­ics are bot­tom­less…

Flight of the Conchords: Think about It

It’s Flight of the Conchords Wed­nes­day!

Here’s one for rat­pony. Think about it. Think, think about it…

Flight of the Conchords: Business Time

Wel­ling­ton’s fourth most pop­u­lar digi-folk para­dists are cur­rently shoot­ing their 12-part HBO com­edy series in New York, with fel­low Wel­ling­to­ni­ans Taika Wai­titi dir­ect­ing a couple of shows, and Duncan Sarkies provid­ing the script for one of the epis­odes.

All this, of course, is just an excuse to post some clas­sic Flight of the Conchords for your listen­ing enjoy­ment. Oooo­h­hh yeah­h­hh, it’s busi­ness time…

How am I funny?

I'm here to fucking amuse you?

What do ya mean, funny? Let me under­stand this cause, I don’t know maybe it’s me, I’m a little fucked up maybe, but I’m funny how? I mean, funny like I’m a clown, I amuse you? I make you laugh… I’m here to fuckin’ amuse you? What do you mean funny, funny how? How am I funny?

Errr, that’s not really rel­ev­ant, but it is a good scene.

Any­way, if you think you are funny, register your­self for the Wel­ling­ton Com­edy Club’s Rook­ie com­pet­i­tion, tak­ing place at the San Fran­cisco Bath­house on Octo­ber 21st (as per the Com­edy Club’s web­site), or maybe the the 19th of Octo­ber (as per New­town Ghetto Anger­’s web­site). Head over to the Wel­ling­ton Com­edy Club web­site for more details.

There’s also a related work­shop for bud­ding comedi­ans to hone their skills – a one hour ses­sion with some loc­al pros on the 12th of Octo­ber, again at the SF Bath­house. More details on that at New­town Ghetto Anger.
