Agreed. The show was great and they are so talented but I thought the versions of these songs in the show were inferior. Live, as two comedic musicians, they are arguably unmatched
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
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.
@@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
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.
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.
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'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 :(
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 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
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
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
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.
"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!
Agreed. The show was great and they are so talented but I thought the versions of these songs in the show were inferior. Live, as two comedic musicians, they are arguably unmatched
watching these again after 14 years and its still just just as good in 2023
2024 here. Literally one of the best specials.
“Much better than the kind of women I’ve imagined” 😂 🤣 I freakin died
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.
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
still, one of the best live comedy performances of all time...the timing is perfect.
"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.
Can some body please remove these cutlerys from my knees lol
*cutleries
It's even funny in text form. Lol. Nice job.
Comedy genius! I never get tired of these songs
These two work so well off of each other....They're both brilliant!
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.
"What's wrong with the world today....smnmn hhs mnaam ha mdayyy"
That part took my breath away
😂 best part!
I've been watching this concert for 15 years I think. 4:39 never fails to be exceptionally funny!
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.
surely this is the most legendary version of this song?
"much more beautiful woman than some of the women I've... imagined"
I haven't watched Flights of the Conchords in 12 months. Thank you for the reminder.
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.
Sexiest songline ever: "Somebody please, remove these, cutleries, from my knees"
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.
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.
Thanks for the tears of laughter guys. Much appreciated
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.
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.
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'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 :(
By far their funniest song! Not even my favorite, but it's the funniest.
"Can somebody please remove these cutleries from my knees."
So honoured that I saw these guys twice before they put out this special.
These guys are amazing. Miss the show!
They’re talking about the issues but keepin’ it funky
Greatest live performance of any band.
The description “both wail” had me cracking up lol
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...
This is the funniest 6 minute piece of comedy I have seen so far in my life... kudos bros... :-)
I miss these guys-outstanding.
"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.
he says his children are imaginary but his dad jokes are real...
...ly darn good.
4:31 Bret killed me with that high voice lmao
"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".
Just about absolute perfection.
this comedy bit was epic, i watched it many times, laugh everytime too
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.
"Would somebody please, re-move these cut-ler-ies from ma-knees?"
Great comedy. I love it.
Absolutely Brilliant!!!
On the right track . You got this ! 👍 don't stop!! 😊
Two seriously funny people :D Love their stuff!
4:12 the best laugh in the background 🤣🤣
So much talent
In a band with so many funny and amazing songs I think this one's underrated!
Thank you Lords cheers from Houston Texas ❤️
Love these guys
These clips are always hilarious
As funny as these guys are, I love their music it’s just so fun!
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.
"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
These guys are brilliant.
Gods amongst mere mortals. Please return to Edinburgh next summer. The world needs the concords, we are lost without you.
The bit about the sneakers costibg so much is transcendental!
They take after their mother in that way
Man I couldn't breath when I first watched this!
Me too 😂
3:09 I always start singing this song when I play Assassin's Creed and have to confirm an obvious kill 😂
Needed this.
Amazing how catchy this song is
I love them so much. I want to visit New Zelma’s. Awesome sauce.
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.
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..
Best duo ever
Hahah better story than rings of power
OMG havent had a good FOTC laugh in like 15 years 😅😂
such legends
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...
I just found out who you are, but I already miss you two.
"whats wrong with the world today, never mrmrmrmr...."
reminds me of my mate skunky. bait times in the skunk machine loving it. 🍁
some of the best comedy ever
I, too, feel strongly about 'the issues'
Pure gold!
We are talking about the issues but we're keeping it funky
they've got problems enough as it is!
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.
POV: you’re watching in 2022 during a monkey pox outbreak… was this prophetic
Brilliant.
0:40 jermaine is also in the crowd laughing
Every now and then i remember the words “somebody please, remove these, cutleries, from mu knees”
We're talking 'bout the issues, but we keep getting funky
But we are keeping IT funky :)
@@nevermindshort3 But now we're fading out. Why is it getting quiet? Because we're fading out.
brett sings this very well
I wish these guys would do another HBO series.
Wish granted
What is wrong with the world today, comasunafunamasemalay
4:40 made my day 😂😂😂😂😂
fantastic
Genius.
ooOOOoo what is wrong with the world today?
