With Lost and The Office both taking a (long ass) break, I find myself looking for new shows to pass the time. The latest one I came across was Flight of the Conchords on HBO, featuring a real band (from New Zealand) that goes by the same name. The show follows the two bandmates, who are attached at the hip, as they struggle to make it big in New York City; a place much different from their humble nation. They run into characters and random situations that prove just how out of place they really are in this country.

There are two great things about this show; the humor and (especially) the music. The humor is quite sarcasitic, witty, slightly Napoleon Dynamite-esque, and is filled with tons of awkward silences. The band manages to fit in two hilarious songs in every episode, which appear out of nowhere. It’s like watching your favorite comedy and having cheesy (but incredibly funny) music videos randomly appear. The lyrics are wonderfully silly yet creative while packed with charm. Trust me, it all works. Here are some of my favorites:

You’ll either enjoy this show or find it completely stupid. Nothing in between.

Catch it Sundays, 10:30 (I think) on HBO. And if you don’t have HBO, like me, you’ll find other ways to acquire the episodes (*cough* torrents *cough*).
