- Sep 02, 2016 Flight of the Conchords is legitimately one of the funniest television shows I have ever seen! It has a sort of innocence about it that most shows don't nowadays. Everything seems to be about getting high or drunk, but this isn't like that.

Flight of the Conchords are a New Zealand comedy duo composed of musicians Bret McKenzie and Jemaine Clement. The duo's comedy and music became the basis of a BBC radio series and then an American television series that aired for two seasons on HBO. They previously referred to themselves as 'New Zealand's fourth most popular guitar-based digi-bongo acapella-rap-funk-comedy folk duo', but as of 2014 refer to themselves as 'the almost award-winning fourth-most-popular folk duo in New Zealand'.[1]
Jan 02, 2015 Flight of the Conchords was completely unexpected. The series tells the story of Bret and Jemaine, two musicians from New Zealand trying to make it in New York. They are not very successful. Unlike the case in most sitcoms, they live in an apartment that appears socioeconomically appropriate for two struggling musicians.

The duo's live performances have gained them a worldwide cult following.[2]

Career history[edit]
McKenzie and Clement were flatmates at Victoria University of Wellington, where they were studying film and theatre before forming Flight of the Conchords in 1998. They first performed as part of a five-man group called So You're a Man, which included Taika Waititi and debuted at Wellington's iconic BATS Theatre, garnering a small but loyal following in New Zealand and Australia.[3]
Appearances[edit]
The band first performed on television over four nights (3–6 May 2000) on Newtown Salad, a show on Wellington's short-lived local TV station 'Channel 7' (later renamed 'WTV').The songs, in order, were 'Bowie', 'Ladies of the World', 'Petrov, Yelyena and Me', and 'Hotties'.[4]
They performed at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in 2002 and 2003, when they were nominated for the Perrier Award.[5] They also performed at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival where they won the Best Newcomer Award. They were later featured in a 2004 campaign for British mobile phone retailer Phones 4U[6] and in the show Stand Up! on Australia's ABC TV[7]
HBO gave the group a special on their Friday night half-hour comedy series One Night Stand. They then headlined at the opening weekend at Comix comedy club, where they recorded two tracks included on 2007's 'The Distant Future'. They also performed at the South by Southwest Music Festival in Austin, Texas. While in Texas, they recorded a documentary titled Flight of the Conchords: A Texan Odyssey, which aired on New Zealand's TV3 in late 2006.[8]
In June 2007, the band performed on the Late Show with David Letterman[9] and were interviewed by Terry Gross on the NPR radio show Fresh Air. They appeared at the 2007 Bonnaroo Music Festival in Manchester, Tennessee.[10] On 19 June 2007, they appeared as the musical guests on Late Night with Conan O'Brien.[11] Their EP The Distant Future, produced by Mickey Petralia and recorded in Los Angeles and New York by Petralia and engineer Matt Shane, was released on 7 August 2007; the live portions were taken from concerts at Comix comedy club in New York City.
In January 2008, the band spoke and performed as part of Comcast's presentation at CES 2008.[12] On 10 February 2008, they were awarded the Grammy for best comedy album, for The Distant Future.[13]
On 13 February 2008, Flight of the Conchords had their first post-Grammy concert, a freebie show, at a small Wellington video store called Aro Video.[14] On 5 March 2008, they performed at a private show at 'The Depot' in Salt Lake City, Utah, for the 2008 Omniture web analytics conference, and the following day in Cahn Auditorium at Northwestern University. On 24 April 2008, they gave a free show at Amoeba Music in Hollywood, California. On 28 May 2008, they performed at the Google I/O conference in San Francisco. They performed on the Main Stage of the Sasquatch! Music Festival on Monday, 26 May 2008 at The Gorge Amphitheatre in central Washington State.

They also appeared on the season four finale of the Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job!, briefly replacing Tim and Eric during a high-stakes game of tennis.
The duo guest-starred as a pair of camp counselors in 'Elementary School Musical', the season premiere of the 22nd season of The Simpsons, which aired 26 September 2010.[15]

The duo appeared at the 2016 Newport Folk Festival in Newport, Rhode Island.
In 2018, Flight of the Conchords reunited for Flight of the Conchords: Live in London, a one-hour TV special on HBO.[16]
BBC radio series[edit]
In 2004, the band created a radio series for BBC Radio 2.[17] Largely improvised, the series was based on the band's search for commercial success in London. It featured Rob Brydon as their narrator,[17]Rhys Darby as their manager and Jimmy Carr as a devoted fan called Kipper. The radio series is clearly a progenitor of the television series: the plot is similar — the band arriving in a foreign country to make their fortune, Rhys Darby playing their manager and calling band meetings— and many of the songs were later used in the television series.[18]
The BBC Radio 2 series won the duo the Bronze Sony Radio Academy Award for comedy.[19]
HBO television series[edit]
The duo starred in a television series for HBO, titled Flight of the Conchords, which premiered in the United States in June 2007. The series simultaneously premiered in Canada on The Movie Network and Movie Central, and was also shown on The Comedy Network.
The series revolves around a fictional version of the pair as they try to achieve success as a band in New York City and try to develop an American fan base. The regular cast includes fellow comedians Rhys Darby as Murray, Arj Barker as Dave, and Kristen Schaal as their obsessed fan Mel. This show also features many other comedians in guest starring roles. Their songs are woven into the plot of each episode. The show received an Emmy nomination for Best Comedy.[20] The show was shot primarily in the Two Bridges neighbourhood of Manhattan.
Flight Of The Conchords Episode 5
The first season consisted of 12 episodes. The second season started on HBO on 18 January 2009 and consisted of 10 episodes. On 10 December 2009, the duo and co-creator/director James Bobin announced via their website that the show would not return for a third season.[21]
Film appearances[edit]
Both McKenzie and Clement appeared alongside Rhys Darby in a horror comedy titled Diagnosis: Death, though not as Flight of the Conchords. The film was released on 3 August 2009. They have also each appeared in several films separately: Clement in Men in Black 3, Eagle vs Shark, Dinner for Schmucks, Gentlemen Broncos, Muppets Most Wanted, and Moana, and McKenzie in The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King, The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, Austenland and Two Little Boys. The song 'I'm Not Crying' appears in the film The Pirates! In an Adventure with Scientists!. In 2014, both Clement and Rhys Darby starred in the horror comedy mockumentary titled What We Do in the Shadows, directed by Clement and Taika Waititi.
Web[edit]
Extra video content can be seen on the HBO Flight of the Conchords site, for example Dave's Pawn Shop Video.[22] In May 2010, Bret and Jemaine also appeared in a web video on bbc.co.uk in which they officially opened the BBC's Comedy website.[23]
Reunion, tour, and film[edit]
In an interview with Vulture, Bret said that plans were in the works for a reunion tour in 2012 and that he and Jemaine were discussing a Flight of the Conchords movie.[24] On 28 November 2011, he stated that efforts were being made to bring the comedy folk duo to the big screen: 'We're going to try and do a movie. We just need a story'.[25] However, HBO has stated they themselves do not have plans for such a film.[26]
It was confirmed in March 2012, that a full 10-show tour of larger New Zealand venues was in place for June 2012. Tickets went on sale on 23 March, with the premium seats at each venue available only in person at the box office, to prevent scalping. All original shows sold out within 10 minutes once they were released on general sale.
