Thanks to my continuing free trial of HBO, I took in a marathon of the comedy "Flight of the Conchords" Friday night.
The show follows low-key New Zealand-natives Jemaine and Bret in New York City as they pursue a record deal for their two-man acoustic duo, Flight of the Conchords.
The humor reminds me a lot of "30 Rock" or "The Office" - it can be very subtle at times, but there are usually a handful of moments each episode that leave you roaring.
It turns out, Jemaine and Bret aren't purely fictional characters: unlike their HBO counterparts, they actually have quite a following as a musical comedy act. This footage of one of their concerts last year features my very favorite of their songs: "Business Time."
