Hmm, I like the show. Not sure I'd like a tour or not though.

Find a video of their old HBO special - I figure a live show would wind up like that (see also: groovy).

Honestly, I saw the stand up before they made the episodes, and it is a way funnier concept live. I actually don't like the show all that much because of it.

Yeah, youtube their live stuff. Hilarious.

Expect me to be at the one in PA

I love me some FoTC

To all those gushing about how great "Flight of the Concords" is, you need to check out Peep Show, which makes FOTC look like the crap it really is.

Peep Show is the best written, and funniest show on t.v.

 
Atypical Person Reading Fark [TotalFark] 2008-04-07 11:12:38 PM  
Oh, praise be to the skies of New Zealand.

Hey, Wookie, people have different tastes. Peep Show cannot possibly compare with FOTC - for some of us.

The only time I met anyone from New Zealand was when I was staying in St. Thomas. We had a discussion about if I thought that the crew members of cruise ships frequently tried to sleep with the quests, to which I replied that they probably do, seeing as how there's so much booze and what not. That's the summary, here's how it actually went:

"...skull and get right knackered and go straight root?"
"What?"

And then it was about twenty minutes of translation, slowly. I mean honestly, I know that YOU know that I don't know what the hell you are saying, so why prolong this? I'm sure he was skiting but I sussed it, had a pikelet before I got too wobbly and told him to rack off.

Scull - drink fast. Knackered - tired/drunk. Go straight root? I've got no idea.

I'd be tempted if I didn't just shell out for KITH coming to the Twin Cities in a couple weeks.

I thought those planes were too expensive to fly anymore. Fuel costs were too expensive and such.

I want to ride in one, though.

This is great news... for the east half the nation.

FOTC never tries to pretent they are not a novelty band they embrace it.

/Does not like Tenacious D, but does not hold it against you.

 
jesmon421 2008-04-08 12:42:05 AM  
If you're lucky they will invite you to a threesome.

This. I was just about to come in here and say Flight of the Conchords is like the D for pussies. And with the Conchords it seems like everything is done with a wink and a nudge and full awareness of the hipster irony. You get the sense that Jack and Kyle at least kinda mean it.

 
HOPWhiteyFord 2008-04-08 12:49:30 AM  
I loved the show... my favorite part would have to be the feud with the pakistani fruit vendor. I was on the floor in tears when I saw the kiwi fruit stabbed to the door with a note saying "get out".

Yeah, that's why I won't be seeing them in Chicago. Been a KITH fan for way longer, obviously.

Save up the gas money and see them at Sasquatch in May.

Perhaps, but the D lost some points with that horrible movie.

Afroman. The end.

Seriously, is there a rap album out there that doesn't include 5 skits?

Go listen to "The Humans Are Dead" and tell me how that would work without music.

 
TheYeti [TotalFark] 2008-04-08 08:53:30 AM  
I just looked at the Listner schedule, and they already have someone scheduled to play on that date in DC.

 
TheYeti [TotalFark] 2008-04-08 08:55:03 AM  
Upon further review, the scheduled act was canceled at Lisner. Sweet!

Thank you, subby

You just made my week

Well I guess I have to get the tickets first, but yeah.

Heh, I saw them a few years ago in S. Fla.

My husband leaned over and whispered, "Wow, Manservant Hecubus has really let himself go!"

Yeah, Dave Foley's put on a bit of weight. Still cute, though.

Oh.
Ooh, makin' love.
Makin' love for two.
Makin' love for two minutes.
When it's with me you only need two minutes, 'cause I'm so intense. Two minutes in heaven is better than one minute in heaven. You say something like, "Is that it?" I know what you're trying to say. You're trying to say, "Aww yeah, that's it".



Loves me some FOTC!!!

Good point, but it's called "Robots".


And all you people who say it sucks or is not as good as T.D or something else can all go FARK yourself. There is such thing as personal preferences and opinions, and they especially apply to things like humor, beauty, and artistic merit.


And no tour dates west of Colorado?!?!? WTF!?!?

What now exactly? I enjoy both the D and FOTC, but you have to admit, The Pick of Destiny was lame.

thats why i said the quote was TRUTH, that movie sucked.

Anyone have any idea where to get tickets? There's nothing on ticketmaster or the Conchords' official website yet.

Oh. You like Dane Cook? Really? You're not getting him mixed up with another comic? See this is where your comment went off the rails for me because Dane Cook sucks big donkey dick.

If a show was anywhere near me
