The second season of "Flight of the Conchords" has begun airing on HBO recently. For those of you who are not familiar with the New Zealand comedy twosome, I strongly suggest that you watch the video above and then proceed to YouTube them until you are blue in the face from uncontrollable laughter.
It never takes anyone long to fall in love with Jemaine Clement and Bret McKenzie, the geniuses who come up with the material and star in "Flight of the Conchords." Their underground cult following is evident when you check out the number of times their skits have been watched, favorited, commented on and shared via YouTube.
In each "Flight of the Conchords" episode, expect a few musical skits that are so cleverly written and catchy that they won a 2007 Grammy for Best Comedy Album. This duo’s talent is such that both of them play live sold-out comedy shows all around the world. Do not overlook the hilarity of the plot of each episode between these skits, however, as they provide a nice flow and hilarious context for their insane musical outbursts and antics.
