BUZZ COMEDY ACT: Flight of the Conchords

i'm not usually a fan of standup comedy at all. the whole experience is just painful for me and when someone is funny it's like 'thank god' internally for me. but my friends have been buzzing about this new zealand act flight of the conchords for a bit and i finally got around to checking them out... and my final prognosis is that i kinda like them!

hailed as "the almost award-winning fourth-most-popular folk duo in New Zealand", bret mckenzie (the cute one) and jermaine clement (the other cute one with the glasses) were college roomates who morphed their band into a two person hipster folk rap comedy act.

just signed on to subpop records (after a hot sxsw performance), the duo also have an hbo and comedy central show making the rounds on tv. i've included two examples of their brand of funny below and well... like i said, these guys have won me over.

if you're interested in finding out more about this funny duo, check out their really cool fansite what the folk or be their friend via myspace.
