Recently, if you’ve had the pleasure of hanging out around me, I’ve been doing what I think is my most annoying trait. I’ve been talking over and over, about a funny show I’ve discovered and gotten addicted to. The show is Flight of the Conchords, but what’s extra annoying is hearing me trying to impersonate the funny parts of the show and the main characters, only I don’t have a New Zealand accent. What comes out of my mouth is some concoction of English and Australian, but not real Australian, a cheesy Crocodile Dundee Australian. Which I sorta find odd, because whenever I attempt a British accent, it turns into this too. But anyhow, more on the show.

If you’ve ever loved Spinal Tap , you will likely love the tale of Bret and Jermaine, a folk duo from the other place near the big shark island down there, trying to make it as musicians in New York. The show reminds me also of the Ricky Gervais UK version of the Office, it’s got a bit of dialog and neurotic behavior which somehow I find charming. Even more interesting, it’s a comedy musical, and I usually HATE musicals. However, I’ll honestly say the songs are brilliant and actually support the show, rather than give you the usual bizarre intermission of wasted bad talent.

Please watch some, so I can endlessly quote the lines and irritate you, but at least you’d get it.
