'Ooh it's like Top Gun!' Come on, it'll only take five minutes - we've been out here talking about it for two hours now."Īs you might have noticed, Bret and Jemaine both play the straight man in this, and as such there isn't much to distinguish their inner identities from each other. It's not - this situation's nothing like Top Gun. Jemaine: "Stop comparing everything to Top Gun. You have to back me up, you have to be what's called my wingman." Jemaine: "You gotta come in there with me, I can’t go in there by myself and buy a croissant can I - she'll think I'm weird. Jemaine: "I don't even know what you're talking about." Jemaine: "What are you talking about now?" Jemaine: "About you not liking croissants?"
Jemaine: "What was all that about just then?"
Jemaine : "Come on man, I can't go in there by myself." Just listen to (or read even) the freedom with which their finely-honed scripts will repeatedly change subject and hence remain unpredictable:

(I never recognised Rachel Blanchard in the first series - she looked so much younger than she did in Clueless) Season one is great! Season two, well, that's good as well. Also famous guest stars begin to make appearances, which breaks the deadpan believability of the world they stumble so ridiculously through. Season two suffers from second album syndrome, with songs and videos that just aren't as good, and tend to feature the duo merely singing on-camera rather than with the psychedelic direction of some of season one. Part sitcom and part music show, all the words in this series appear to have been carefully crafted to hit their target, resulting in quality all the way. (I guess everywhere they went, they didn't always take Neil Finn with them)Įach week Bret Mckenzie and Jemaine Clement, as Bret and Jemaine respectively (whew!), wander through some sequence of events or other, usually falling out along the way, and always drifting off into at least two of their bizarrely tounge-in-cheek songs. After all, this version doesn't have Neil Finn in it.

It's also based upon their similar BBC Radio 2 series, but this article isn't about that, purely the TV version.
'Flight of the Conchords' (FOTC) are a music duo from New Zealand with their own highly popular US TV sitcom, which would be eponymous but that, as stated above, it has that whole extra "The" going on at the beginning. It's right up there on the title card! :) Let's get one thing straight at the start - whatever anyone may say, no matter who they may be, this TV series is entitled THE Flight Of The Conchords.
