Would the TV programme work without the music, or the music without the TV programme?

I don't actually know much about them apart from having watched the series, do they perform just live music?

If you don't lol at this there may well be something wrong with you and I would suggest visiting your gp asap.


i don't know

but it confuses me greatly. Sometimes i watch it and think it's amazing. other times, i change the channel.


they used to have a radio show

which they did for the BBC similar to FOTC. They do live shows, theres some on youtube i think.

the show wouldnt work without the songs, the songs are what elevate it from an average comedy into a good one.


Aren't they going on tour soon?

I'd like to see it but I think it might just be in the States


I am in love with this show.

Just ordered the DVDs, ostensibly for my bf's birthday but actually just because it means I get to watch them.

They're pretty great without the TV show though.


i love this show

but watch it for the characters not for the songs.


i recieved this in the post yesterday

watched 5 episodes, its very good.

has series 2 been done yet? i dont know much about the programme, i bought series 1 on a whim


.

I think Series 2 is due to be filmed soon. There's also an album coming out on Subpop around March time.


great stuff!

if they toured the UK i'd cry with happiness.

the songs are the best bit

and jermaines expressions


i also cant wait for the release of Eagle Vs Shark on dvd next week

anyone see it at the cinema?

the trailer looks so funny


it's

superb.


It's my new addiction

My bro bought me the box set for Christmas.

I've watched it ALL three times since New Years.

It's all good.

The Hiphopopotimus........my lyrics are bottomless..............


i'm glad

someone else appreciates that bit as much as me.


my housemates play their songs on youtube continuously

I mean continuously. That and the team america soundtrack.

Therefore I fucking hate them. Just not funny.


i dont.. really know

if i find FOTC funny or not. it's like bill bailey.. but it's not. whatever it is, it aint peep show.


but Bill Bailey is actually funny.

Flight of the Conchords is trite and annoyingly cheesy.


I can see how they could get

tiring quickly. It's why I asked if people would actually listen to the music as a seperate entity


this programme

is brilliant. One of my new favourite things to watch. I spent this afternoon skiving work watching youtube videos of the songs.


i got the dvd for xmas,

my brother got it from america cheap.

my dvd player doesnt play american dvds


a lot of dvd players can be converted to multi-region by tapping in a code

what's teh make and model of your player?


well,

i love it.
The show is pretty witty without the songs but the songs bring in the biggest lols.


I Have Seen One Episode

could do without the songs really. but as a whole it reminded me of Alan Partridge. i want to see more.


Yes, they perform live

FotC played an LA nightclub last year.


I am actually in love with jermaine

He's a new hero of mine. The songs are amazing and the show would DEFO work without them, cos theyre just funny guys. Have you seen the movie Eagle vs Shark. Its amazing!!


It's actually

Jemaine


no

i'm talking about someone else.


one post in the whole thread -

and it's a petty one! haha. as is mine.

though i do love these guys. i think its brilliant how they mime so perfectly to their songs in the series.


I used to think I was

but now I prefer Bret


i like both aspects really

its a bit like napolean dynamite in the way bret and jemaine are, infact all of the charachters are funny though, murray, dave, mel.

but i can see how some people might not get it, and maybe find it quite boring and stuff.


"youre gonna wake up in a

smoothie"


I love this show

I've just bought the EP as well, so I think it works without the visuals. Or maybe it's because I've already seen it. Whatever, it works.

The only thing that doesn't work is the fact that the DVD costs 20 fucking quid in t'shops. BASTARDS.


I saw them

at Edinburgh Festival about 4 years ago. They were peddling the same songs then. I laughed so hard I strained two stomach muscles- it works better live I think. I actually went about for ages telling people about them.

Now I have vindication!


heh

i really like em. saw them live about 4 years ago as well - although not in edinburgh - in a pub in highbury. the tv series works perfectly, murray just cracks me up every time he is on screen.

talking of jermaine and his geekiness - has anyone seen eagle vs shark? saw it recently and really enjoyed it.
