Dec 30, 2020Genius. One the most original and funniest comedies ever made. One comedy I can watch over and over and never get tired of it.

Jul 11, 20141.) Absurd HBO Comedy Series about 2 new zealand folk singer in the usa. The implemented songs are the highlight of this show, couple of legitimate hits. Really weird ****
-
Jun 23, 2014This may not be your brand of humor; and I forgive you if it isn't. However, if this type of dry humor is entertaining to you, look no further. These guys are truly hilarious. The accents, the songs, the characters, etc., I can't get enough.

Nov 1, 2013I think that this show is absolutely genius. How it blends music and comedy in a spellbinding fashion quite simply blows me away. Incredibly original. Rhys Darby stands out as the band manager, who seems completely inept to real life. If you have HBO, go on HBO GO and check this out. You won't regret it.

May 29, 2012So much creative content in the songs.. I wish they went a 3rd season. Murray is just too funny. I felt he made the whole series work. Only 6 characters in the series and yet it remained fresh and funny.
-
May 26, 2012The mix of the music and songs are nice, but not all of the jokes where funny, and the last episodes where horrible. It still has funny jokes, but it also has some bad jokes.
-
May 11, 2012One of the most hilarious shows I have ever watched, every episode I couldn't stop laughing at!
Flight of the Concords is about two bumbling kiwis Jemaine and Bret both with strange musical talents traveling to America to try to make it big but always ending up in a hilarious mess! -
Feb 10, 2011Was at it's best when the songs themselves were hysterical, and they often were. Season One was hilarious, but Season 2, though funny at times, often fell flat. Highly recommend Season One, and somewhat recommend Season Two.
-
BrandonH.Oct 4, 2009This is a fresh, funny show that shouldn't be over looked. I would suggest listening to there songs before watching there show, that way you can appreciate it more.
-
-
TeresaSJul 28, 2009Very, very funny!
-
-
StoneMJul 16, 2009Boring!! A cloying, annoying self-consciously quirky show.
-
-
SteveBJun 12, 2009I love those Kiwis! That show is fresh and New Zealand is so hot right now!
-
-
LynneEMar 23, 2009So funny. But these guys are clever and very talented. Good show HBO
-
-
AlasdairCFeb 2, 2009Absolutely brilliant and completely hilarious.
-
-
FranciscoSJan 18, 2009A 5 just for its originality, but really I didn't find it funny. I think they are pretentious and try too hard to be clever and absurd.
-
-
ChrisH.Nov 18, 2008The funniest show on television in years. I hope it comes back!
-
-
PaulB.Nov 1, 2008This show is excellent, the musical interludes make it a little surreal but it is my favourite show and to get reviews from critics of 6.8 is a joke.
-
-
SusanS.Sep 23, 2008"Unique" doesn't come close to describing the overall concept and superb writing and of course the acting of Bret and Jemaine. I agree that the "experts" either don't get this show, like they didn't get Arrested Development and other great shows, or they've grown too old and stogy to care much anymore. The closest thing to this I'd say is Ricky Gervais' "Extras".
-
-
ArjunK.Jun 2, 2008Good laughs, good first season.
-
-
ChristianM.May 21, 2008The TV show that I most look forward to.
-
-
ShawnM.Apr 25, 2008The music video sequences are just hillarious. I can watch them over and over.
-
-
AndyM.Apr 21, 2008The mostest funniest, brilliantest and every other est-est show on the tele. Love it long time.
-
-
MarkS.Mar 29, 2008It takes a lot for me to laugh out loud nowadays but this show does it for me every time. I already new of the comedy duo and how hilarious they are but nothing prepared me for Murray the band manager! This is pure comedy gold.
-
-
GlenH.Mar 8, 2008Definitely one of the funniest shows I've seen since Extras, 100% recommend this not just for 'kids', I think an older crowd can enjoy this but for sure it's aimed at young adults and it's a real joy. These guys write some hilarious tunes and Jemaine and Murray are killer. Watch this show.
-
-
BenV.Feb 8, 2008The funniest show I have ever seen on TV. Its intelligent, witty, subtle, and awesome. I have seen every episode 4 times and am still laughing at every joke.
-
-
TedLJan 18, 2008Love this show!
-
-
TomYJan 16, 2008the critics for once got it wrong. this is a much better show than a 68. along with Extras and the Wire, HBO continues to put out the best stuff on TV. FOTC is an exceptionally quirky and hilarious show. the musicians are quite talented musically and extremely funny as well.
-
-
kpJan 4, 2008Hilarious
-
-
CarlMJan 4, 2008Classic humour. Amazed that one pro reviewer gave it such a duff rating, but maybe he just didn't get it
-
-
JohnHJan 1, 2008watchable but nowhere near as funny as it thinks it is. Songs are the best thing but comedy acting is far too smug and self satisfied. Ok for kids but adults should watch bbcs Peep show - so much better
-
-
DavidPDec 22, 2007I'm almost becoming obsessed with this one. It's the best show I've seen in ages. One of few where I've actually been falling off my chair laughing. I think it really deserves a bigger audience.
-
-
JasonJ.Dec 7, 2007Maybe there needs to be a larger pool of critics? 68? Are you kidding? It's the funniest stuff that's been on T.V. in a long time. All it will take is for season 2 to be as good as the first.

AnjiL.Sep 5, 2007I absolutely love this show! ALL the characters are hilarious and the songs are great!
-
-
PhilJ.Sep 3, 2007This show is hit or miss, but when it misses it's an inside the park homerun. And when it hits it's an out of the park power swing of steroidic proportions.
-
-
LouiseG.Sep 2, 2007The most original show in ages. Can't remember the last time I laughed so much watching a show.

TheKindAug 23, 2007Unbelievable, quite possibly one of the best shows ever, clever, funny, original, awesome dry humor.
-

JJAug 16, 2007One of the best and most 'fresh' shows i've seen in years. Humor is subtle and smart and the characters are well-done by these guys. Please make more episodes!
-
-
JordanHAug 15, 2007my favorite new show. tons of funny songs and great cast, everything works together, this and curb your enthusiasm are the 2 best shows on TV

ValerieAAug 8, 2007I have never been inclined to review or rate a show in my life, THAT'S how much I love FOTC.
-
-
MikeBAug 7, 2007You'd think they would run out of creativity and consistently brilliant songs, but they never do and hopefully they never will. Bret and Jermaine obviously steal the show but they supporting cast is also very solid, hopefully this show lasts.

BubPastaAug 6, 2007Like it more each week.

KathyAug 6, 2007Fun, different!

MovieBoyDotComAug 5, 2007LOL people from NZ sound like they are from AUS and UK... Thats so funny. How'd they come up with that idea? They should keep repeating that joke it will never get old! k thnx

MelMAug 2, 2007This show makes me laugh out loud every episode. I love these guys... I think I may really be Mel..

EvanHJul 29, 2007One of the funniest shows of the year. The songs happen to be pretty amazing, not to mention hysterical!

PatrickSJul 24, 2007This is a great show for anyone who is a music fan. The songs are hilarious, well structured, and actually well written. The jokes and storylines still produce laughs, but they are mainly just set-ups for their songs which are the true stars of the show. If you like comedy and music, give this show a shot. I love it and watch it every week.
-
-
MichaelHJul 24, 2007Amazing, two very talented individuals, but lets not forget Rhys Darby (Murray the band manager) who is also a hit. I hope this show never gets cancelled as it is already up there as, dear i say it my favourite show ever! If anything lets the show down it must be that annoying yank character who has a cruch on Bret and Jermaine
-
-
MarcHJul 23, 2007BRILLIANT!!!!
-
-
UthredSJul 23, 2007The songs are what make the show. Not sure how long this series can last without getting stale but very funny so far.
-
-
LisaBJul 21, 2007This is the funniest show I've ever seen! I saw pre-season commercials for it that didn't pique my interest but caught a show by accident and found myself bursting out loud. That never happens!
-
-
RyanWJul 21, 2007This is an excellent show and I really enjoy their awesome music.
-
-
MargiTJul 21, 2007This is the funniest show I have seen in a long time. I love all the songs. Jemaine is eye candy too!
-
-
JoshJJul 19, 2007Quirky, original, and very dry. Good stuff!
-
-
DirkGJul 18, 2007Great, subtle and wry humor. The leads are really charismatic and Mel (not Meg) is hilarious as their only fan. There are occasional rough spots, but pound for pound it's still funnier than most stuff out there, and when it hits, it REALLY hits. Agree with Mike H.: this stuff sticks in your head for days.
-
-
SamRJul 18, 2007This show is phenomenal. It's so original. It's awkward comedy at it's best (trailing curb your enthusiasm) and it's songs are more laughs than you can handle.
-
-
ZackMJul 18, 2007The joke density is fairly low, but a recent episode had me laughing out loud a good four or five times. The songs range from goofy to spot-on, and the incompetent manager, Murray, is a brilliant addition to the Conchords' chemistry.
-
-
MikeH.Jul 17, 2007Instantly joins the ranks of the truly must-see TV with CYE, Extras and past favorites like Da Ali G Show and The Office(original) because it stays in your head for days and becomes a topic of conversation with the uninitiated. It's brilliant.
-
-
JackSJul 17, 2007Absolutely the funniest show on tv. Their sense of humor make it one of a kind. Should come before Enterouge!
-
-
KyleeN.Jul 16, 2007It's amazing, the funniest thing I have seen on television. However, I do think you have to have a certain type of personality to enjoy this delightful show.
-
-
JonMJul 15, 2007Probably one of the most original shows I have ever seen. I love it.
-
-
SteveLJul 13, 2007HBO has another great Sunday night show. One of the best shows on TV.
-
-
JustinCJul 13, 2007This show just plain makes me happy. The characters are simultaneously sweet, smart and innocent which makes them a delightful and refreshing change from the run of smarmy, acidic comedies we've had lately. Anyone who says it's just for Kiwis, Aussies, etc is just wrong.
-
-
AKCJul 13, 2007Unique and very funny. The best comedy on TV since the Ali G show. The pace is different, but to confuse understated (but sharp) comedy with boring is a mistake. Be patient- it's worth it- and hopefully HBO agrees and extends the show's run...
-
-
CrocMJul 12, 2007Thankfully HBO isn't afraid to take risks. Flight of the Conchords is the most unique comedy of the year.
-
-
KezMJul 12, 2007Brilliant show!! Original, wacky, great songs and characters. I'm hooked!!

-
TheoCJul 10, 2007A breath of fresh air in a world that's generally become more and more bereft of originality.
-
-
GabeGJul 10, 2007This is a well needed show and praise the hbo network for giving it a chance
-
-
JoyJJul 9, 2007One of the most unique and funny shows on t.v.
-
-
ScottN.Jul 8, 2007This brilliant, understated comedy. Its not shouting at the rooftops and its not taking the piss. These guys have brilliant timing, simple stories and hilarious songs. Perhaps it is only for Kiwi's, Aussies and Brits but still worth a look if you arent one of the above.
-
-
BrendanPJul 7, 2007This show is brilliant in execution and remastering the band's classic songs. It's one of the best pseudo-reality show currently on television.
-
-
DanWJul 7, 2007the musical scenes alone are enough to make your sides hurt with laughter
-
-
shawnc.Jul 6, 2007Flight of the conchords is brilliant. Its very eccentric and hits a very unique comedy vibe. The two lead actors have a very strong on screen presense and they both have amazing chemistry and comic timing. The show also features some amazing musical segments that are hilarious. This show is sure to be a classic.
-
-
ChazWJul 4, 2007Not very funny at all. It was like trying to quench one's thirst, by drinking a bucket of sand. Maybe, if I were a Kiwi, Aussie, or Brit, it might be funny.
-
-
BF.Jul 4, 2007This show may be too clever for its own good. I can only hope it doesn't suffer the same fate as Lucky Louie, and go over the heads of these philistines... Seriously funny show. Please for the love of God, watch it, record it, then watch it again...

Awards & Rankings

The charms of this series are subtle, but only grow over the course of the first few episodes.
-
You should be there on Sunday night to see the premiere of something new and hilarious, and completely different.
-
"Flight" is pretty much a snooze until the music starts, at which point the show kicks up into something quite weird and occasionally wonderful.
