Flight of the Conchords (TV series)

Flight of the Conchords is about a two-man band, starring Jemaine Clement and Bret Mckenzie, from New Zealand who are trying to make it to fame and fortune. The show is based off Jemaine and Bret's comedy stand up featuring their own music.




The Flight of the Conchords can be considered are generations Spinal Tap. The whole first season is based off their music and done in high fashion as not just parodies but more a represetation on the music industry itself. Half the comedy is from the song and lyrics. But the other half is how they film each one like a music video and the humor comes from how serious they try to make the song be.

After the first season they had just about run out of material but they still came back strong with an even better critique on music videos itself. Each new episode from the second season is based off an original idea of another musician's song. In episode 6, the story is about Bret and Jemaine falling for the same woman that they just met. The song is a parallel to R-Kelly and Ushers song "Same Girl".


Sadly though, Flight of the Conchords will not be returning anytime soon. Their musical commentary on the industry and strive for indie music still lives on CD and DVD
