their music and deadpan jokes can pull me out of any funk and make any day even better. I really needed that today (so much BS!) and like always I feel fresh and light hearted again. Love these guys. blessings
@@alexandermccomb6444 No it's 'what are your overheads' :p The uneasy rhyme between 'slave kids' and 'overheads' is pretty much my favourite conchords moment ever, sadly they messed it up a bit here but they've always kept it pretty fluid
And he says: ooooooowww oww ooww ooow oow, can't somebody please take these knives and fork out of my leg! Can so body please remove these cutleries from my knees?
I’ve seen this bit a dozen times over the years and it cracks me up every time. So much going on that you have to watch it a few times to catch all the jokes.
Honestly without any exaggeration whatsoever, the first 2 minutes 20 ish of this video is some of the funniest dialogue that exists. To this day I still find it hilarious and I have listened to this every now and then for I don't have a clue how many years.
Brilliant -- and deep. Not even Shakespeare, with all his world-famous wit, could come up with something half as funny -- and relevant -- as "Could somebody please remove these cutleries from the knees." Eat your heart out, Will.
I'm hopelessly rewatching everything these two made, in the hope to find something new, but I came to the sad conclusion that I watched it all far to many times already :(
this song is among the most memorable songs i can recall right now. "am i a man..... techinically, yes" "fun monkey disease" "remove these cutlery from my knee", the whole slave kids making sneakers joke. love this song.
subtle joke there that really gets me i dont know if a lot people pick up on it, but when they are "fading out" Bret starts playing an inaudible solo in reference to all the classic rock tracks that used to play amazing solos at the end of songs and just fade out mid solo.
Heard most beautiful on the radio some years ago..laughed my ass off..never had time to revisit the music list...business time ranks up there on the funny spot for long term relationship songs..
I know this is an old comment, but if you see this, check out the awesome Barry Gibb that the guys on Horrible Histories did in the Aztec Priests song. "Not Staying Alive".
I love, love, love discovering something/somebody years after they were hot. Though I'd heard about it/their name, I never watched/paid attention, so great discovering how funny TFOTC are (oof, that's a name and a half, even in acronym form). Correction: Now I know. The shorter acronym, FOTC, is much more palatable.
"The kids take after her in that sense" that whole setup is perfect, actually such a well written punchline
I don't get it
genuinely. it's one of the best jokes I've ever heard
The real talent here is how they can make it through their own songs without breaking down into laughter
Probably because they got all the laughter over with from practicing the songs for stage for hours.
Cause theyve done it 1000s of times
True decent guys helped me when I was writing comedy in New Zealand.
Not just the songs, it's the improv riffing that they do between songs.
that would be giving up
Two of the greatest philosophers of our time... dealing with the issues
Making us think about it
You forgot about Bruce, Bruce and Bruce...
They're talkin bout the issues but they're keepin it funky...
The issues that matter
Ahh, the fun monkey disease
When Jermaine takes three different tries to hit the note in different octaves to see where he can hit it 😂 so good to have as part of an actual song.
“Much better than the kind of women I’ve imagined” 😂 🤣 I freakin died
"they don't get taken seriously" probably one of the best and under rated jokes in this video
yea and when he says the kids take after her in that sense lmaoo
There is something about their live versions that the studio versions and tv show rarely captured. Still one of the most underrated shoes ever.
dem shoes are built different lol
Yes!
Can some body please remove these cutlerys from my knees lol
*cutleries
It's even funny in text form. Lol. Nice job.
"What's wrong with the world today....smnmn hhs mnaam ha mdayyy"
That part took my breath away
😂 best part!
watching these again after 14 years and its still just just as good in 2023
2024 here. Literally one of the best specials.
"much more beautiful woman than some of the women I've... imagined"
"What man? Whose the man? When's a man a man? Why's it so hard to be a man? Am I a man? Yes, technically... yes." HAHHAH.
A man is lying on the street, some punk has chopped off his head,
And I'm the only one who stops to see if he's dead,
Aaoohh...Turns out he's dead.
Jemaine's vocal range!
Bret's got the Oscar, but I'll always be a Jemaine guy. He can do more with his voice, and deadpan manner while completely goofing it up.
their music and deadpan jokes can pull me out of any funk and make any day even better. I really needed that today (so much BS!) and like always I feel fresh and light hearted again. Love these guys. blessings
That little mumble Jermaine does at 3:28 makes me laugh harder every single time I watch it
read somewhere that he legit just forgot the lyrics which almost makes it better
yes
@@ROiDIIoHAMOo I dont think so, if you look at the music video he still mumbles at that part. Its definitely meant as a joke.
Freakin hilarious!!!!
Literally my favorite part.
Sexiest songline ever: "Somebody please, remove these, cutleries, from my knees"
surely this is the most legendary version of this song?
Comedy genius! I never get tired of these songs
These two work so well off of each other....They're both brilliant!
I haven't watched Flights of the Conchords in 12 months. Thank you for the reminder.
What are your overheads?
What? Are ya over ya heads! It's kind of slurred together
@@alexandermccomb6444 No it's 'what are your overheads' :p The uneasy rhyme between 'slave kids' and 'overheads' is pretty much my favourite conchords moment ever, sadly they messed it up a bit here but they've always kept it pretty fluid
It's a good damn question lol
@@Jimverse_ Not sure if it even needs to rhyme, it's the use of the unexpected that makes it funny :)
@@Jimverse_ Well, it rhymes pretty well in kiwi.
And he says: ooooooowww oww ooww ooow oow, can't somebody please take these knives and fork out of my leg! Can so body please remove these cutleries from my knees?
I died with laughter
I've been watching this concert for 15 years I think. 4:39 never fails to be exceptionally funny!
I’ve seen this bit a dozen times over the years and it cracks me up every time. So much going on that you have to watch it a few times to catch all the jokes.
still, one of the best live comedy performances of all time...the timing is perfect.
I come so often just to listen to the opening comedy haha. I do love the fade out "stop touching the monkey" though
Honestly without any exaggeration whatsoever, the first 2 minutes 20 ish of this video is some of the funniest dialogue that exists. To this day I still find it hilarious and I have listened to this every now and then for I don't have a clue how many years.
"Can somebody please remove these cutleries from my knees."
Brilliant -- and deep. Not even Shakespeare, with all his world-famous wit, could come up with something half as funny -- and relevant -- as "Could somebody please remove these cutleries from the knees."
Eat your heart out, Will.
Thanks for the tears of laughter guys. Much appreciated
I'm hopelessly rewatching everything these two made, in the hope to find something new, but I came to the sad conclusion that I watched it all far to many times already :(
These guys are amazing. Miss the show!
They take after their mother in that way
They’re talking about the issues but keepin’ it funky
The description “both wail” had me cracking up lol
this song is among the most memorable songs i can recall right now.
"am i a man..... techinically, yes" "fun monkey disease" "remove these cutlery from my knee", the whole slave kids making sneakers joke.
love this song.
"We're talking about the issues but we're keeping it funky", I think I'd wear that 'Bretshirt', especially if it had a nice picture of a monkey on it.
So honoured that I saw these guys twice before they put out this special.
"What man? Who's the man? When's a man a man? Why is it so hard to be a man? Am I a man? Yes, technically, yes".
this comedy bit was epic, i watched it many times, laugh everytime too
This is the funniest 6 minute piece of comedy I have seen so far in my life... kudos bros... :-)
By far their funniest song! Not even my favorite, but it's the funniest.
I miss these guys-outstanding.
On the right track . You got this ! 👍 don't stop!! 😊
"Would somebody please, re-move these cut-ler-ies from ma-knees?"
Two seriously funny people :D Love their stuff!
Just about absolute perfection.
subtle joke there that really gets me i dont know if a lot people pick up on it, but when they are "fading out" Bret starts playing an inaudible solo in reference to all the classic rock tracks that used to play amazing solos at the end of songs and just fade out mid solo.
ooOOOoo what is wrong with the world today?
What's wrong with the world today
nevrsegnomensmenaesmnsdae....
Great comedy. I love it.
Absolutely Brilliant!!!
he says his children are imaginary but his dad jokes are real...
...ly darn good.
As funny as these guys are, I love their music it’s just so fun!
So much talent
Thank you Lords cheers from Houston Texas ❤️
These clips are always hilarious
Amazing how catchy this song is
I love them so much. I want to visit New Zelma’s. Awesome sauce.
Love these guys
In a band with so many funny and amazing songs I think this one's underrated!
Heard most beautiful on the radio some years ago..laughed my ass off..never had time to revisit the music list...business time ranks up there on the funny spot for long term relationship songs..
11 years later and im still watching this but now i play this song at parties with the guitar keeping it alive haha.
Omg I need to do this
Try 20 years...this show aired in 2003...
Best comedy show that you never heard of. I wish that there were more than 2 seasons of their HBO show...that was the funniest shit ever.
Omfg Jeremiah has some range!!! Theyre more talented than 97% of singers today & i love it! !
So does Bret. Plus his ability to play so many instruments he really is talented.
These guys are brilliant.
Needed this.
Gods amongst mere mortals. Please return to Edinburgh next summer. The world needs the concords, we are lost without you.
What is wrong with the world today, comasunafunamasemalay
Man I couldn't breath when I first watched this!
Me too 😂
they've got problems enough as it is!
"some punk has chopped off his head....and I'm the only whose stopped to see if he's dead.....turns out he's dead" LOL
3:09
Was he vacationing in France?
@@ramsoomair No. Sweden
The bit about the sneakers costibg so much is transcendental!
I just found out who you are, but I already miss you two.
4:31 Bret killed me with that high voice lmao
4:12 the best laugh in the background 🤣🤣
I just love them so much. How is it even possible to be that awesome....? Can I do that? Does someone wanna be the Jemaine to my Bret?
Hey 4 years too late but if you wanna start a folk parody duo i'm all for it
Trio?
1 year too late after the last guy was 4 years too late, but im ready to jermainin' it up
5 years late at this point, but umm, a quintet can't be a coincidence.
Stepping up for the salacious six...
brett sings this very well
OMG havent had a good FOTC laugh in like 15 years 😅😂
"whats wrong with the world today, never mrmrmrmr...."
Pure gold!
We are talking about the issues but we're keeping it funky
I wish these guys would do another HBO series.
Wish granted
reminds me of my mate skunky. bait times in the skunk machine loving it. 🍁
Best duo ever
some of the best comedy ever
4:32 for excellent Barry Gibbs impression.
I know this is an old comment, but if you see this, check out the awesome Barry Gibb that the guys on Horrible Histories did in the Aztec Priests song. "Not Staying Alive".
3:09 I always start singing this song when I play Assassin's Creed and have to confirm an obvious kill 😂
i can't believe the low amount of views this video has
willy wonka That's true.. Still though you would think there would be more people that would enjoy this
oh well at least we do :D
such legends
0:40 jermaine is also in the crowd laughing
Making fun of black eyed peas where is the love it sounds like hahahah
I, too, feel strongly about 'the issues'
Bret looking like a young Donovan!
I love, love, love discovering something/somebody years after they were hot.
Though I'd heard about it/their name, I never watched/paid attention, so great discovering how funny TFOTC are (oof, that's a name and a half, even in acronym form).
Correction: Now I know. The shorter acronym, FOTC, is much more palatable.
When the children are having children, you know, i mean... how small are they gonna get? ^^
i fell asleep watching qi and woke to this
Genius.
NOW in 2020 can we PLEASE stop fraternizing &/or eating exotic animals? We should've listened to these two almost a decade ago! Truth Seers'!
It's probably from eating, not fraternizing FWIW
Brilliant.
