Truly a gazillion bits of hilarious goodness.

In the future there is only one dance - The Robot.

And the Robot Boogie....

Okay, two dances.....

Genius!

I've only had a chance to watch one episode of Conchords, but I found it to be thoroughly entertaining, a nice riff on the Tenacious D formula.

And it has given me renewed hope for HBO after the shockingly uninteresting John from Cincinnati.

Melissa, it's funny you reviewed this show! (I'm not sure that itÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s a gazillion little bits of hilarious goodness funny, but, funny in its own way....cuz....every time I watch this show I think of you and wonder if you love it.

So far, for me, it's been hit or miss. I either totally get it and think it's a riot or don't get any of it and think it's dumb. That could just be my mood at the moment, though.

I've gotta watch it though because I love Jemaine. All I have to do is look at his face, which usually has no expression at all and I just crack up.

That first clip was hilarious. Another reason I should pony up and pay for HBO.

I had real reservations about this show since it's a formula that Tenacious D had perfected domestically, but like The Office, it proves that two similarly premised acts can indeed coexist. This show is the funniest thing on the tube. We've been so focused on the wreck that is John from Cinci, that we've fogotten to talk about this. Last nights episode had me in tears. The band meetings are great!
