Yeah, ok All the Humans are Dead is hilarious.
But now the one on the left is reminding me of Benicio Del Toro. This isn't that bad, I'm just afraid he's going to cut me.

Yeah, they do a really unique type of humor that I happen to love, but I can definitely see how others wouldn't.

I like some of the songs but... man, I dunno.

I hate to be all David Spade here but I liked it more back when it was called "Tenacious D".

I know that this is the easy lazy thing to say but, dammit, sometimes the easy lazy thing isn't always wrong.

If you could map a 'Deadpan' vs 'CUURAAAAAZY WOOOOYEAAAH' spectrum, the Conchords and D would be at completely opposite fuck*ng ends.

QFT.

My favorite song is "If you're into it" because it is so cute and awkward. Also, because the scene where he plays it and suddenly Jemaine pops up is hilarious.

I also like "I'm not Crying"

Yeah this is spot on, they both go in for a kind of self-parody but I think the humour comes from a very different place.

I have to agree with everybody else here, LFM, but I like neither, although Flight of the Concords is slightly better.

A bunch of us at work are Concords fans, and every once in a while someone will say "I miss Britt" (Brett) and then someone else will chirp in with "Yeah, I miss Britt too" in their Kiwi accent.

Also, whenever I meet someone from New Zealand now I always say "I love Australia!"  Sometimes they get really pissed.

when i got back from new zealand last january i proudly told my australian climatology professor where i'd just been.  within two questions he ascertained i had not stepped onto the australian mainland and was therefore completely unimpressed. it is like kentucky versus indiana with the hoosiers jokes, but on a much larger scale.

bret you got it going on is good.

and has anyone mentioned Bowie in Space?  that whole episode is awesome.

The New Zealanders have a joke where "When a Kiwi emigrates to Oz, the average IQ increases on both sides of the Tasman Strait".  Aussies don't like that one much.  Sometimes they try to reverse it, but no ones buying that.

When in New Zealand, say "You guys are like the Canadians of Australia, right?"  They like that.

I saw them day before yesterday, just before I saw the Flaming Lips.

During "The Humans are Dead", Jemaine quipped, "Yoshimi could not save you."

It was good.
