 Motherflippin Genius October 26, 2007
John Fraser (St Albans)
62 out of 66 found this review helpful
Every once in a while a comedy series comes along that seems to rewrite the comedy rule book while making you wonder "how come no-one's ever done anything like this before?"
The Flight of the Conchords is one such series. In a way, it's a great throwback to the musical format - people breaking into song in the middle of a conversation for no reason - and the humour that can be had with that conceit alone is immense (the moment when a song kicks off is always very funny.) But the structure and sheer hilarity of the songs (on the one hand pitch-perfect parodies of specific genres of songwriting and on the other, a mixture of deeply inappropriate lyrics and inventive surreality) bears repeated scrutiny and really is tears-streaming-down-your-face funny. It's also worth pointing out that the New Zealand accent certainly seems to add an additional layer of comedy to a lot of it. That and Jermaine and Brett's relentlessly deadpan delivery. Glorious stuff. bring on series two.
Innovative cult comedy October 10, 2007

Think of the mockumentary style of 'Spinal Tap' combined with the surreal musical comedy of Bill Bailey and the slightly claustrophobic domestic arrangements of Morecambe and Wise. These elements combine to make something genuinely original.
Bret and Jermaine are unconventional heroes, but heroes nevertheless, a couple of socially awkward New Zealanders trying against the odds to make it in New York. Their exploits and those of their amateur manager, Murray ('I'm so angry I could almost swear.') and their fanbase (a rather unhinged woman who is more of a stalker than a fan) make for a succession of laugh-out-loud moments.
You are unlikely to find a funnier American sitcom this year.

I can only sum up this series in one sentence: I laughed 'til I cried. (And so did the rest of the family).

Watching this my overall feeling is that it would have made an incredibly good feature film, but there is not quite enough material for the series. That said, you should buy this. There are moments of rolling-on-the-floor, howling-with-laughter comedy genius, and quite a few of them. But there is also a lot of padding in between. Buy it, and watch it with patience. When it's good, it's 5-star good, but I'm giving it 4 stars for the lack of consistency.
excellent simple as that September 11, 2008

I was expecting nothing when i put this dvd in i had never even heard of them but it was genius from start to finish i loved it . I find it slightly annoying that every one keeps mentioning mighty boosh i love that show too but this is nothing like it . I hate stupid people who think that because the conchords do songs they are copying the boosh ! Jasper carrot used to do songs so maybe the boosh are copying him ! IDIOTS
