I found this hbo show a few weeks ago and I look forward to watching it every week now. My teenage kids think it's the dumbest thing ever, but man,
I think it's pretty funny.
Those accents take a bit to get used to, like I thought Bret was Brit for awhile. I'm finding most US tv is so stale, so this is a nice change.
If you haven't seen it yet, youtube has some of their stuff.
I swear im the only kiwi that thinks they aint funny.If you like that show though get a movie called shark vs eagle.One of the dudes from conchords
wrote and stars in it, again i didnt think it was that funny but its better than the show.
I think they're hilarious. I discovered them during a special "One Night Stand" for HBO. This was before they got the TV show, and the songs they
performed eventually made it into the first season. "Business Time" and "Issues" were perfect during that One Night Stand special, but they lost a
bit of magic when they were performed by script for the later television show. Still, they're much funnier than most of the comedy currently on TV.
You can find all of the One Night Stand songs on YouTube.
I'm a fan of Arrested Development and Demetri Martin (and similarly absurd, strange comedy), and I'd place these guys along the same vein. It's
definitely a love it-or-hate it type of comedy.
