Flight of the Conchords

Flight of the Conchords is a comedy music duo from New Zealand, consisting of Bret McKenzie and Jemaine Clement (from the Outback Steak House commercials). It's hard to tell which is more amazing about this band; the fact something with talent came from New Zealand or that they are a hillarious musical comedy duo. The band made it big in their homeland and found popularity in Great Britain where they began international comedy tours. From there, they caught the attention of HBO, who first gave them a special and then their own scripted show. After two seasons, the band called off the show, because it was too much work for a band trying to tour and write new stage material while writing and filming the show. As well, there was the mounting pressure to realease more albums. While the HBO series and albums were great in their own right, the band's live performances are the heart of their comedy.

The following are my favorite FOTC live video clips. They are guaranteed to entertain.
