From Conchords dot net:

"I find Flight of the Conchords quite funny. They never tell you where the jokes are, so it’s entirely up to you where you laugh. And they occasionally burst into wonderfully mad songs. There’s one called "Foux du Fafa," which is a French stupid song, a parody of French bad pop music, and they’re dead on with their parodies." -- Eric Idle

The Conchords are the Monty Python of our generation! Cheesy smile

I like where Eric Idle says they don't tell u when to laugh. W/the Chords, don't we all crack up at certain unobvious times and not really know why it's funny. Fer instance, my sig line -- I laught every time Murray says that (I'm guessing it was only one episode, can't remember which one), and it really shouldn't be funny, but it is.

One of my favorite Murray lines, of this sort, from "Mugged":

"Item 2-A. Gig.

[beat]

Oh ... A gig."

Very Happy

That one of my favorite Murray lines too. And I love all the music references that just go over his head.

I love this thread too because I was watching Monty Python when I read this,ironically enough. haha

Sat Sep 13, 2008 7:28 pm

Haha there are some gems that i always laugh at and look at whoever I'm watching with as if to say "Eh, eh? That was funny, huh *nudge nudge*"

They don't think so Sad

They don't think so

Pft,well they need to laugh. Because Python is hilarious. Especially Flying Circus.

We already knew this, but now it's confirmed. <img src=

From the Louisville Courier-Journal:

[size=133:4ad1tqsl]I read on your blog that you're a big fan of Jemaine Clement and Bret McKenzie, aka "
The Flight of The Conchords."
Do you know those wacky New Zealanders?

I tried to help them write a song. I was helping them come up with different words for male prostitute. I did pretty good.

What did you come up with? Gigolo?

Gay for pay, hustler, Inamorata ... I think Jemaine is gorgeous. He is dreamy. He is so cute and he smells really delicious.

Don't make Bret feel bad.

Bret's totally cute. Bret is the more traditionally good-looking one.

Hahah.

Ohh I'll bet Jemaine smells delicious..

Sun Sep 14, 2008 5:33 am

Apparently, she's always discussing them! If you search for her name plus "
Conchords,"
a bunch of stuff comes up! <img src=

From Margaret's blog:

[size=133:wnvregqz]I am very excited about the new Flight of the Conchords record and have been listening to it nonstop. It is really great. They are so funny and also Jemaine Clement is very hot AND Asian adjacent – he is part Maori!!! I will be attending their concert at the Orpheum later this month and eagerly awaiting Season 2. Arj Barker is also on the HBO show and he is another Asian hottie. It is exciting! I really want to be on the show and challenge Mel to a duel to see who is truly their biggest fan. I love them!!!

[size=133:wnvregqz]what’s the funniest thing you’ve seen or done lately this year? (besides your work, of course…)

I am absolutely in love with the Flight of the Conchords. They are so damn funny and also make some good music.

From a KCRW radio interview:

[size=133:wnvregqz]Song: "
Business Time,"
by Flight of the Conchords.

Chris Douridas: You know this one I guess, it's kind of appropriate I suppose, that you would pick something that has a bit of a sense of humor to it, this Flight of the Conchords track.

Margaret Cho: Mmmhmm. Well I love the Flight of the Conchords because I think they're really funny but I also think that their music is actually very good. The songs are really great, they’re very tight, they’re very good at different genres. They can do lots of different stuff, from doing sort of a Marvin Gaye thing to doing a Pet Shop Boys thing to doing, you know, this is sort of a Barry White thing and it's very…I don’t know, I just think they're great, and I think they have great voices and it's a very funny song.

From Metro Santa Cruz:

[size=133:wnvregqz]Have you seen the show, Flight of the Conchords?

Yes, I love them! I think they're really talented, funny guys. I even helped them write a song! They used to perform at this little club called Fargo where I would perform at too. And after a show one time, they asked me for some words to a song called "
Male Prostitute,"
so I kinda helped them write that song. How did they know I was familiar with male prostitutes?

Margaret's iTunes playlist:

[size=133:wnvregqz]Business Time (Track 1)

"
I love these guys. So hilarious and great! And I think this is quite a sexy song also, especially because Jemaine Clement is so fine. I love him! He is half-Maori so he is Asian adjacent!"

Sun Sep 14, 2008 5:58 am

Haha wow. I wonder if she's got a role on the second season?
Surely she's plugged hard enough for it <img src=

Though if that were the case, all of us flighties should get a role on the show too..

Sun Sep 14, 2008 8:04 am

Margaret Cho is hilarious. So that's awesome. And she's a Jemainiac...which is even better!

So she's the one who helped with the Jemaine prostitute song! <img src=

She is! I saw her live a few years ago ... I think it was the "
Assassin"
tour, but I'm not sure. She talked about pooping on herself when she was stuck in traffic. It was disgusting and awesome. <img src=

I've always loved Margaret ever since she had that sitcom back in the day. I don't even remember what it was called... I love her even more now and I think she totally deserves a role in the new season. <img src=

Forget all that Jennifer Aniston talk, Mag Cho would be great on the show. I sure would love to see her playing a crazy broad (no offense to her, being as none of the gals on the show are normal, 'cept fer Coco).

Mon Sep 15, 2008 10:32 am

I'm the irish for bret constituency...
