My most recent re-obsession has been Flight of the Conchords. It is a brilliant brilliant comedy that ended a while ago and it shouldn't have ended at all. It should still be on. It was sooooo ahead of its time. If it were on now it would probably be a hit. I saw it as a hit back then because it was hilarious and amazing... and clearly everyone on this show is crush worthy... but I'm going to focus on mainly Brett and Jemaine... I think. But Rhys Darby, Arj Barker, and Eugene Mirman are also in this show and are just amazing. And the guy that played Gale on Breaking Bad... lol. ANYWAY here is why they are my man crushes.
1) They're amazing together and separately- Both of them together are absolutely amazing, but Jemaine is more of an actor and a comedy guy and Brett is more of a musician. Brett has an Oscar for his work on The Muppet Movie. Jemaine has a been in a bunch of indie comedies. He has a movie I think is out now called What We Do In The Shadows that looks really funny. Its about a vampire reality show or something like that... I need to see it somehow. Lol. The combo of them together though is just PERFECT though.
Jemaine appeared in Muppets Most Wanted, singing music that Brett McKenzie wrote and they have toured together recently and I WISH I WENT! Hopefully they come around again. I have also heard rumors about reunions and possibly a musical I believe... which should definitely happen because Brett McKenzie could totally EGOT! He already has a Grammy and an Oscar. I don't think he has an Emmy... which is funny cause he's probably most known for the TV show... but he NEEDS a Tony too now!
2) The show is just so real- They are so broke, untalented and dumb... which I find relatable lol. Its a little like Broad City only they are from New Zealand. Thats probably why this would work so well today because Broad City is such a success this would be too. I've probably been through a lot of these situations myself and handled it similarly... not that I'm dumb but I'm a bit awkward and these things happen... lol.
3) The Songs are really good and really catchy- I'm the Hip hop hipotamous my lyrics are bottomless... They call me the hip hop hipotamous flows that glow like phosphorous I'm not a large water dwelling mammal where did you get that preposterous hypothesis did steve tell you that perhaps... Steve.
My records and rhymes they don't get played because my records and rhymes they don't get made and if you rap like me you don't get paid and if you roll like me you don't get laid.
I didn't look up those lyrics, I just know them because they're a part of my soul now. Its so catchy and so funny... even if they weren't a comedy band I'd think they're really good. I almost cried when Jemaine was singing in Muppets. Lol. I was so happy with them. I love Flight of The Conchords and the Muppets. But yeah, I could probably sing any of their shows in public with no shame just from memory. It was amazing.
4) The show is so different, creative and amazing- This show should have been like Seinfeld or something. I did a whole rant on that in my Scribbles About TV post... and basically there are a lot of famous comedians that are pretty famous now, but they weren't necessarily before the show, but they were pretty big. And now they're super famous. And its even funnier. I feel like its a big deal to have been on Flight of The Conchords.
And also... its so different. I remember watching the pilot when I was like... 15 maybe and thinking "this is weird. Its funny but its not like anything I've ever seen." and I actually missed the second episode and almost gave up on it but decided to watch the third episode which is Mugged... which is one of the funniest things ever on television... just so sooo good and it really is really different. Once they broke into the musical number I was like "wow this is weird and amazing and sooo funny!"
And yeah that is everything I think! Hope you guys liked it!
Byeee!
