DVD Reviews of Flight of the Conchords - The Complete First Season

DVD Review: flight of the conchords
Summary: 5 Stars

Flight of the Conchords are amazingly hilarious and the DVD was sent to me in about 3 days which is pretty good. It was brand new and so the disk was not scratched and the packaging was in perfect condition.

DVD Review: Frickin Hilarious!!!
Summary: 5 Stars

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this show! It's absolutely funny. Music is great! They are comic geniuses :)

DVD Review: It's Business Time
Summary: 4 Stars

I was a big fan of Eagle Vs. Shark (A New Zealand Naploeon Dynamite but with smarter writing) So I was thrilled when my friend brought this over to my house to show me a couple of songs from it. I instantly ordered my own copy and have shown it to most of my similarly minded friends who I new would enjoy this kind of humor. It's dry, witty, broad in areas when it needs to be and the music is amazing. The only thing that I found dissapointing was that there was no commentary or special features of any kind. It would have been interesting to see some behind the scenes features or see where they got the idea for some of their songs. Fans of The Office, The IT Crowd and Extras should enjoy this.

DVD Review: Love this show!
Summary: 5 Stars

I really enjoy this show, the subtle humour and fun songs make it something really fun to watch more than once!
My only complaint is that there aren't any special features or anything, but eh, what to you do. I really enjoy Brett and Jermaine's style, and am happy to own their 1st season on DVD!

Flight of the Conchords - The Complete First Season

Anyone who appreciates the naive and witty character humor of The Office will undoubtably love Flight Of The Conchords.
Two New Zealanders in New York City, struggle to make it big with their band "Flight Of The Conchords" under the woefully pathetic direction of their band manager, Murray. Obsessive fan Mel and clueless friend Dave add just the right touches of quirkiness to this well casted ensemble.
You'll be hearing one of their songs in your head for days after viewing! Watch out, Flight Of The Conchords is contagious ...

Description of Flight of the Conchords - The Complete First Season

Jemaine Clement and Bret McKenzie ??" a.k.a. Flight of the Conchords ??" may be ???New Zealand???s 4th Most Popular Folk Parody Duo,??? but in the USA, finding someone who knows their act is about as easy as finding a kiwi nest in Central Park. To rectify this oversight, Jemaine and Bret have moved to New York???s East Village to conquer America, one fan (literally) at a time.

Unlike most HBO series, Flight of the Conchords does not want to set the world on fire. It is droll and deadpan to beat the band. If you like Tenacious D, They Might Be Giants, Jonathan Richman, Leningrad Cowboys Go America, and silly Pythonian wordplay, then its off-center charms will definitely strike a resonant chord. The Conchords are comprised of funky, funny folk duo Bret McKenzie and mutton-chopped Jemaine Clement, transplanted New Zealanders trying to make it in New York. Brett, their incompetent manager, Murray (Rhys Darby) notes, has "the right attitude," while Jemaine has "what I like to call, 'the wrong attitude.'" (Murray, who works out of the New Zealand consulate, makes the clueless agent in Extras look like Ari Gold.) Stardom eludes the band. They have one fan, Mel (Kristin Schaal), whose seething husband chaperones her while she stalks them (by season's end, even she will desert them). Financially strapped, they live in squalor and are forced to film a music video with a cell-phone camera. The dense Jemaine is a damper on Brett's love life (he derisively calls Coco, Brett's new girlfriend, "Yoko"). But from their mundane lives springs their inspired music, and it is during each episode's musical numbers that Conchords really takes flight. Sample lyrics: "You're so beautiful / You could be a hostess in the '60s"; and "I'm not crying / It's just been raining / On my face." Another mad highlight is "Bowie to Bowie" in the episode in which Brett is visited by visions of Bowie in his various career incarnations (portrayed by a dead-on Clement). But the dialogue, too, sings with an inspired, surreal lunacy. One exchange between Brett and Murray degenerates into a chicken-egg discussion over a job vs. a gig. HBO has renewed Flight of the Conchords for a second season. Bravo! As a greeting-card executive (The Daily Show's John Hodgman), who wants to license one of their tracks, tells the duo, "I believe in potential. I can see it in you guys." --Donald Liebenson
