I remember first seeing Flight of the Conchords on an HBO special years ago. Their comedy was fresh. Their integration of music was creative. And their accents were too darn cute. Flash forward two years--Bret and Jermain have made it big in America, with an HBO television series and an intense following. I thought I would share a bit of their work--it illustrates their style of comedic performance & puts a funny twist on diversity.
