@@Soup-Dragon1 FOTC's popularity comes in large part from the fact it's not just funny, but musically superb in spots. The Bus Driver Song, Think About It and Most Beautiful Girl in the Room show off just how strong they are as musicians, rather than just comedians. Carol Brown another great example
This show is amazing from start to finish, I never get tired of watching it. And this song is so underrated too, the lyrics, the delivery of the jokes... perfection.
@@PokrPro21 Haha, me and the mates rewatching this video and were like 'wouldn't it be funny if this Pokr account was still active? Let's reply and see what happens' :)
@@TheLeastestWeasel that's awesome! This is still my daily and only account. It's my google account. I had it forever and use it daily and for business and personal use and if course youtube. It's just weird finding a video from over ten years ago that I responded to. And you sent me on a throwback Flight of the Conchords binge after messaging me. I was watching all of their old stuff. I actually forgot about them
Aside from being hilarious, some of the lyrics in this are incredibly clever. "We talk about how the lights from the buildings and cars, look like reflections of the stars". FOTC are musical legends!
The musical modulation (key change) that accompanies this part is not to be sneezed at either. These guys are extremely musical, and can play tricky guitar bits and sing/talk at the same time. Awesome!
“That’s why I said wasn’t it” and “daytime of the night” are two of the most clever and funny lines of all time for me of a guy back pedaling on something he said to a woman he thinks he doesn’t remember. Followed closely by “I meant it was nice to meet you that time that I met you”
This is my favourite FOTC song 💜 Back when I was at uni, for Linguistics coursework we were told we could analyse any text of our choice, including song lyrics. I chose this song. Most enjoyable bit of coursework I ever did, and it got me an A.
Oh it was so pretty from way out there. We talked about how the lights from the buildings and cars looked like reflections of the stars that shone out so pretty and bright that night.... It was daytime. The daytime of the nights.
i love the "that's the only way to eat sandwhiches, are you still into sandwiches in a big way" for some reason- doesn't get the biggest laughs but i love it.
I'm not surprised. I've introduced a lot of people to this HBO special and no one seems to enjoy it like I do, my brother does, and my cousin does. It's a shame really.
this song was never on an album and the short lived tv show did not have is song anywhere to even have a video with it like most of there other songs... this like the only video of it
There's something about this song that sounds so nostalgic and so late 90s and early 00s...anyone else? Like village nyc almost like august rush(the parents)
This track doesn’t age. Soo good. got to throw “the daytime of the night” into a conversation recently, luckily someone got it Edited for “lalala la lalala la lalala”
Every time I watch this, I know the "We just looked...out" part is coming, and it's STILL one of the funniest things I've ever heard.
This will forever be my favorite Flight of the Conchords song. I feel like it gets way less love than it deserves
I think it is because it was not used in either season of the tv show. It's a longer song and probably hard for them to perform too
You had to be at andys party to get it
Its their second most watched videos ever
@@Larsstick Thats cause I just watch it on repeat
Nah its the humans are dead
that voice crack on pardon was so good.
IKR! That's my favorite part 😂
Absolutely! I've been trying to perfect this exact thing when singing this song for many years, can't even get close to Jermaine XD
That pardon popped into my head a month ago and I finally remembered what it was from today 😂
The best 🤣
It's incredible how they made an awkward conversation so melodic
1000th like
"That's why I said wasn't it" is brilliant and inside joke my friends will always hold.
I love how much Jemaine’s character gets into the story.
Yes! Lured by his own pride to continue participating, lolol!
'We went for a walk.'
'On our feet if I remember correctly...'
Arguably the greatest song about a misconception of somebody ever written.
4:34 I love that it genuinely becomes a beautiful song for a moment before switching back to comedy.
Yes, their Carol Brown song chorus does that for me too

thats by far my fav bit
For 30 seconds, it turns into a beautiful Billy Bragg song... then goes right back to a hilarious misunderstanding 😂
Bret McKenzie is an Oscar winning song writer. So not surprised that they're genuinely great musicians.
"It was something like but not necessarily Schindler's List." 😂😂🤣🤣
It was Police Academy 4
Probably my favorite line lol
JC Does Stuff!! I love this line. One of my first ever dates during high school I actually watched Schindlers List with a girl.
All this time, I've heard that line as "It was something like but not necessarily shitlessness!"
I was about to comment that HAHAHAHAA
I've been saying/singing "What a hilarious misunderstanding" for so many years, I forgot where it was from. lol
Same with me and "Yeah, Andy's Party!"
"the daytime...of the night'
so where is it from? it's not from this video, you fuckface
@@AndyThomasStaff can't tell if trolling or stupid
Both?
I have quoted “The day time…of the NIGHT” an uncountable amount of times throughout my life
"I'm Brian" has to be in the top 5 best character reveals of all time
Is this a spoiler?
No I'm m sorry I think you've mistaken me for somebody else
XD
The fact this is the highest viewable comment is prett annoying
@@MikeJ2k9 I never asked for this power, you're just dealing with it.
Sorry if it spoiled the song for you though
@@nathanielleguizamo409 It's not your fault, it is the fault of 650 other people!
I'm tempted to write that 'this must be their best song', but that happens with almost all their songs. What legends FOTC are.
Listen, nobody likes She So Hot… Boom but I’m telling you they’re just not sophisticated enough to get it.
I’m almost not even kidding.
The amount of perfectly set up, timed and acted jokes in this numer floors me. I never get tired of it
I'm curious. How does one pronounce your name?
Probably one of the greatest songs ever written. It's just rapid-fire funny line after funny line after funny line, an absolute masterpiece.
Dude, I forgot how nice the guitar riffs are in this song and the chord progressions are beautiful!
Especially, the "stars" bridge. It's really beautiful, and the fact that Jemaine turned out to be just spouting BS on it only adds to its lustre.
When Jemaine makes his voice crack in that last 'pardon' is so fucking perfect
I revisit these boys regularly
"What a hilarious misunderstanding" has stuck with me for years.
This show is amazing from start to finish, I never get tired of watching it. And this song is so underrated too, the lyrics, the delivery of the jokes... perfection.
Still funny 10 years later.
Cody Cunningham man u know it
i had a maths teacher that introduced me to this band actually.. and his name was mr cunningham..
hmm xD
14 years later. Still funny.
@@matthewstone1362 Are you still getting into sandwiches i a big way?
"Does he have my way with words" underrated line after all that😂
Their timing is perfectttt
“Do you still get into sandwiches in a big way?” Is such a great line 😂😂
Thats why i said 'wasn't it'
Still walk a lot but I'm not eating as many sandwiches as back then!
Favorite line
The facial expressions between the two are priceless! "It was sorta something like but not necessarily -Schindler's List-" --classic!!!!
Lol yea
@@TheLeastestWeasel Jesus man... You just took me back in time. 11 years! Goddamn! So weird...

That might be the best thing they’ve ever done.
One of the best ever performances by anyone.
Even though this is a song about 2 people that never actually met, it still reminds me of 2 old friends catching up and talking about old times.
"The daytime, of the nightssss"
Doesn't he just say "night"?
he adds a nice little "tsss" noise to the end of the word, makes it even funnier@@mitchelsnodgrass7028
This destroyed me back in the day. Every time I could catch this on TV I'd watch the whole thing start to finish.
Thier timing is impeccable. I can watch this time after time and still laugh. Never gets old.
Aside from being hilarious, some of the lyrics in this are incredibly clever. "We talk about how the lights from the buildings and cars, look like reflections of the stars". FOTC are musical legends!
I almost shed a tear on that part. Despite the comedy, that verse was insanely beautiful
I fucking know!!!
The musical modulation (key change) that accompanies this part is not to be sneezed at either. These guys are extremely musical, and can play tricky guitar bits and sing/talk at the same time. Awesome!
My 3 older siblings introduced me to this Duo back in 2009. Super underrated lads. ❤ Love them.
It takes enormous talent to make something both beautiful and hilarious.

I’ll add a great line: I don’t remember what you said word for word but I remember there were verbs.
Oh, I remember exactly what we did at the lookout. We just looked... out!
Arcoss the city from our little spot on the hilltop
11 years have passed and this is still hilarious
on our feet if i remember corectly
“No I think you’ve mistaken me for somebody else”
THE FORESHADOWING!!
I JUST GOT THAT!
Aaaagggghhh!!
Come back to this song every year or so and it never fails to make me smile.
This is my favourite FOTC song 💜
Back when I was at uni, for Linguistics coursework we were told we could analyse any text of our choice, including song lyrics. I chose this song. Most enjoyable bit of coursework I ever did, and it got me an A.
"Andy hates it when I forget that" very appropriate in 2024
The adoption line brought tears to my eyes with laughter.
I was in middle school when my mom showed me their show On HBO. I’m 22 now but I still think they’re the funniest duo ever.
Respondingo to "you're looking good" with "fair enough" is a power move.
Oh it was so pretty from way out there. We talked about how the lights from the buildings and cars looked like reflections of the stars that shone out so pretty and bright that night....
It was daytime.
The daytime of the nights.
Superfire49 grtyiicyffiiwuwWuAuoqoooolek
Why do I get chills at 4:35. With the chord change and everything aahhhhh😍
It's very exciting to be here in...um...
...America!
Oh man ,these guys are nuts ,I love it.
The daytime of the night 😂
This is the greatest conversation of all time
"That's why I said wasn't it" ....
"It was the party of a mutual friend, was it? Wasn't i? Was it? Wasn't it?"....
😅😅😅😅😅😅
i love the "that's the only way to eat sandwhiches, are you still into sandwiches in a big way" for some reason- doesn't get the biggest laughs but i love it.
I think because it perfectly captures the way you talk when you’re desperately trying to make conversation but don’t have anything to say
I first watched this 12 years ago and I've been quoting from it ever since but NO ONE EVER KNOWS WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT
One of the greatest pieces of art of our generation.
agreed
Anyone here randomly checking on this vid after 11 years?
Yeah...very random. They just popped up.
I forgot, then i remembered, it's still good
Yup
Well I looked it up, and 12 years.
i come here from time to time tbh...this one and "issues" are my all time favorites but they have so many stuff even in the last years^^
I love how it foreshadows the ending right at the start of the conversation.
11 years and this is still so damn great.
what a rollercoaster
Not word for word exactly Jenny, but I remember there were some verbs!
This is the great lost FOTC song!
They are so funny xD
This is by far the best ever video I had never seen. If I could keep clicking the like button I'd do it all night. Haven't laughed so hard in ages!
Thank you a million for the laughter and joy!
The day time of the night! LOL
The day time . Of the night. 😂 this is so great . Never get tired of it
4:38-5:00 is so beautiful.
Best part of the song, hands down
This song never gets old!
So good even after all these years. I love playing this video for people still to this day.
How is this not more popular?!
Flame Princess Well they did get a HBO series out of it. Fairly popular.
cary whitt It's just the 100k views I'm thinking of, I would imagine at least 1 million views
I don't think this song was on any of their albums. Could be wrong, though.
I'm not surprised. I've introduced a lot of people to this HBO special and no one seems to enjoy it like I do, my brother does, and my cousin does. It's a shame really.

The lights from the building and cars seems lke reflection from the stars..... is such a beautiful line
There's something about this song that sounds so nostalgic and so late 90s and early 00s...anyone else? Like village nyc almost like august rush(the parents)
Man this performance was just absolutely nailed.. Love you guys ahahaha such a throwback laugh
They‘re so fricking talented!! Simply amazing!
Can’t believe I’ve only found this masterpiece now
Something like (but not necessarily) Schindler's List
i will never get enough of this song.
The Daytime of the Night
A conversation from my nightmares.
Thanks for the video
The daytime of the night is the best line ever said. 🤣🤣🤣
Full circle. Loved you before YT. Listening and following ever since. Scrolling and subscribe. To Jenny. The first thing I ever heard from you guys. 😊
"No i'm sorry, I think you've mistaken me for somebody else"
xD
It's amazing how 7 minutes can go by so quickly when you're engaged
My man's just went through all the vowels at 6:16
The voicecrack is so perfect.
My theory is that he *is* John but he didn’t wanna deal with the kid so he just decided to bullshit his way through as Brian.
why would he show up then?
Great story telling
Their cleverest track...
Their most clever track**
@@jamestaylor5417 cleverer and cleverest are actually acceptable
I think my favorite part is that "Bryan" was just lying the entire time.
Well that or John lied about being another guy called Brian.
I always loved how through all that, we don't know a single thing about Bryan, except how he would respond when confronted with this situation
This track doesn’t age. Soo good. got to throw “the daytime of the night” into a conversation recently, luckily someone got it
Edited for “lalala la lalala la lalala”
Fastest 7 minutes of my life
Are you sure? Really think about it...
It’s one of those things you don’t want to end
7 minutes in heaven is better than 6 minutes in heaven
*Is that what your girlfriend says?*
I've never realized this song was so long 😂
🎶 do you still get into sandwiches in a big way 🎶
Man,I really thought that was gonna end with 'her' leaving and him actually being John
such a great way to warm up the crowd to their brand
I wish I could see them live.
I love you guys! 🥰🧡💛💚💙💯
Simply brilliant
"Lalalalalala" is the best answer to any awkward situation hahaha!
