FLIGHT OF THE CONCHORDS…!!!

Maybe I should start by saying that if you don’t already know, I am very eclectic and diverse in all of my interests, one of which happens to be Musical Comedy. I know it might seem a little strange being that Musical Comedy is an area more known to whites, and is highly embraced as a part of their “culture” if to call it (No Racial…LoL).

But one of the more interesting things about whites is that they deeply enjoy Musical Comedy and singing comedians. This particular style of humor incorporates an individual or group singing a song, but instead of singing about something in a serious or meaningful ton or mood, it has funny lyrics and a sarcastic ton. Simple as that. It is an ingenious idea because when you have  a set of jokes that really aren’t that funny and music that isn’t that spectacular, you can mash the two of them together and create something that will be sure to entertain. And white people can’t get enough of it with the breeding of the likes of Weird Al Yankovich, Tenacious D, Sarah Silverman, Dennis Leary, Adam Sandler and the headliners of this blogpost Flight of the Conchords.

I happened to come across Flight of the Conchords a long while back whilst skimming through YouTube videos. Flight of the Conchords is a Grammy Award-winning New Zealand comedy duo consisting of members Bret McKenzie and Jemaine Clement who label themselves as “Formerly New Zealand’s fourth most popular guitar-based digi-bongo acapella-rap-funk-comedy folk duo”.

The duo also star in a television series for HBO, titled “Flight of the Conchords” (Who would have guessed…), which premiered in the United States in June 2007. The fictional series basically revolves around the pair as they try desperately to achieve success as a band in New York City and try to develop an American fan base with them hailing from New Zealand.

In all honesty, their style, charisma, sarcasm, musical talent and creativity are all highly appreciated by myself as well as their huge fan base. Each of there performances and songs that I’ve come across have really been hilarious and made my day each time. So know comes the time for you to be the judge…Check out the two videos below and of two of their performances one old and one fairly recent (depends on what you consider old and fairly recent).

NO RACIAL!!!!!! (2009′s No Homo)

       Maybe I should start with the new term “No Racial” coined by Timothy DeLaGhetto aka Traphik……In simple terms…The term “No Racial” is 2009′s “No Homo”…….It’s pretty self-explanatory and I was really amazed at the concept and idea…Brilliant Humor………………Still confused???…………..Then check out the video below and enjoy…Definitely a knee slapper…LoL…

Especially the Espys…!!!

      Maybe I should start with the fact that there are still many special broadcasts with great moments on American television, especially the Espys. This years 2008 Espy Awards Show which marks a historical night in sports chronicles, and was in my opinion (compared to previous Espy Award Shows that I have watched) one of the best, most entertaining and most memorable.

The ESPYS

      This years Espy Awards Show was hosted by Pop-Singer Justin Timberlake who entertained, awed and stole the shows with his inimitable singing, quirky antics and comedic skits. His “I Love Sports” performance was particularly funny and plain genius as were his other skits and antics.

       Surprisingly, even the illy infamous Will Farrell was actually able to the make me laugh and not just a little but a lot. As much as I consider him to be not funny and would never pay to see any of his films, I must admit that his Espy Awards skits were hilarious.

      Of course the traditional Awards were given out in usual fashion leaving many proud; and countless inspirational moments were reflected on ranging from that of the Jimmy V Award recipient Kevin Evert who fought back after having sustaining a paralyzing football injury, to the prominent and commemorative Arthur Ash Award (the highest achievable sports award) which was awarded to Tommie Smith and John Carlos for their courageous and life changing act of holding up black gloved hands during their Olympic Medal Ceremony and battling through the repercussions that followed. The introduction to the award was an extremely powerful, emotional and moving piece that all should see and take in without question.

Best Buy Booty Shaking Danceoff…!!!

      Maybe I should start with a familiar saying that we have all heard and recited time and time again…Except with a little twist…LoL…

Hi-def television = $1800

iPod = $500

Desktop PC = $1200

Encountering a random unrhythmic booty shaking moment from a Best Buy Employee…Priceless…!!! LoL

I don’t know how others may take this and it might not be that funny to you, but this was without question absolutely hilarious to me…I was literally rolling on the floor…LoL……

 

KEEP YOUR EYES ON THE BEST BUY EMPLOYEE…!!!
