The Definitive Guide to Comedy
You’ve been waiting for another Flight of the Conchords tour for years. You’ve been waiting for a legitimate Dave Chappelle stand-up tour for years, too. How about seeing them on tour together?!? It’s happening over five weekends in August and September in a town or city near you in America, …
Flight of the Conchords released a brand-new single over the weekend. But “Feel Inside (And Stuff Like That)” isn’t a typically funny song from the duo of Bret McKenzie and Jemaine Clement. No. It’s their very own “We Are The World” gone “We Are New Zealand” effort, as FOTC corralled …
Congratulations to Bret McKenzie, one half of New Zealand music-comedy duo Flight of the Conchords, for winning Oscar this past weekend for his original song, “Man or Muppet” for The Muppets movie.

More than 480,000 views and counting since Sub Pop Records put this little ditty on the YouTube on Tuesday…it’s "Ladies of the World," by Flight of the Conchords. The song comes from the New Zealand duo’s self-titled record, which debuted at #3 on the Billboard charts. In week two, it …
New Zealand’s favorite musical parody duo with an HBO show, Flight of the Conchords, debuted at #3 on the Billboard charts this week by selling 52,000 copies of their self-titled full-length.
