Sneak Peek: Carell and Rudd Goof Off in Dinner For Schmucks

BuzzSugar — Fri, 16 Jul 2010 15:30:41 PDT

Dinner For Schmucks has looked off the wall since day one, but with these new photos, we're getting an even closer peek at the simpletons who comprise the colorful cast of characters. Zach Galifianakis's wizard is among the mix, but I'm particularly fascinated by a certain half-man, half-goat (it's Jemaine of Flight of the Conchords!).

Peruse the pics to see what's in store when the movie comes to theaters on July 30. My prediction: it's going to be utterly ridiculous. Also, Paul Rudd, I love you.

R.I.P. Flight of the Conchords: My Favorite Musical Moments

BuzzSugar — Fri, 11 Dec 2009 08:10:00 PST

Even though evidence has been mounting that Flight of the Conchords wouldn't be coming back for a third season, I'm still supremely bummed that Bret and Jemaine have confirmed that they won't be coming back via their website.

So, since the majority of you said that you'd also be disappointed if the show didn't return, I think you'll appreciate my video tribute to the Conchords. Sure, the humor of the show was hilarious, but the guys' biggest impact came from their original songs like "Business Time." Luckily, with their albums and DVDs, I can still count on the guys to make me feel like the most beautiful girl in the room whenever I need a pick-me-up.

The Conchords May Not Fly Again - Are You Bummed?

BuzzSugar — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 08:30:00 PST

The Flight of the Conchords released a new album just a few weeks ago, but we may be seeing less of the goofy New Zealanders in the future. In a recent interview, Jemaine Clement hinted there might not be a third season of their HBO series. He said, "It very likely might not. . . We've got to write the series, but we've also got to write the songs, and just dividing your time into those two writing tasks is really tricky."

I still love watching (and listening to!) the Conchords first season, though I admittedly was less enthused about the second set of episodes. Still, I would be sad to see them go. What about you - are you bummed about this news?

Fall in Love With Flight of the Conchords Again (or At Last)

Flight of the Conchords isn't necessarily one of those shows I watch for the plot - it's mostly just for the laughs and the goofy songs - but just in case you're confused when your friends prattle on about Bret and Jemaine, HBO can help you out. Yup, it's another of those ". . . in four minutes" videos, this one introducing you to Murray the band manager, superfan Mel, and Sally (you know, the "prettiest girl in the whole wide room").

Awesomely, that's not the only Conchords video treat I have today. One of my favorite minor Conchords characters, Dave, runs a comical pawn shop that the show checks in on from time to time, and now we're getting a look at the ads Dave made for his shop. I imagine these things running on public-access TV late at night. And, well, let's just say Bret and Jemaine aren't the only people on the show capable of writing catchy jingles.

Whee! Check Out a New Flight of the Conchords Promo

BuzzSugar — Thu, 20 Nov 2008 15:30:08 PST

Via the Watcher comes the most delightful 40 seconds of my day: a new promo for Flight of the Conchords. The HBO comedy, with New Zealanders Bret McKenzie and Jemaine Clement singing goofy song parodies and trying to make it big in New York, begins its second season Jan. 18.

The show's second season may be its last, so I for one am planning to soak in every minute of ridiculous comedy this Winter. This promo is short, but it's also pretty representative of the Conchords dynamic: Jemaine wants to make a serious promo for the show; Bret wants to be a gangster. To check it out, just

Sexy Beast of the Day: Jemaine Clement From Flight of the Conchords

GiggleSugar — Wed, 13 Feb 2008 13:00:00 PST

Am I crazy to think that Jemaine Clement of the New Zealand duo Flight of the Conchords is a hunk-a-hunk of burning love? With a face that's a cross between Benicio del Toro, the Incredible Hulk, and Mick Jagger, he defines Sexy Beast. Oh, yeah, and he's hilarious!

Benicio Del Toro + The Incredible Hulk = Jemaine Clement from Flight of the Conchords. (And I think Jemaine's hot-go figure.)

"Entourage," "Conchords" Keep Flying for HBO

BuzzSugar — Fri, 17 Aug 2007 13:30:31 PDT

The guys that keep me laughing on HBO Sunday nights will be back next year for another round. HBO announced today that "Entourage" and "Flight of the Conchords" will return with new seasons in 2008.

The news is no surprise for "Entourage," which snagged a bunch of Emmy nominations and routinely gets about 3 million viewers the first time each new episode airs. But I was a little worried about my "Conchords." References to "Business Time" and "Robots" have become standard among my friends, and when I was at the TCA press tour, it seemed like every critic in the country was crowing about the show. But I still couldn't tell how widespread its reach was; Zap2it says its premiere got about a million viewers, but I haven't heard about the ratings since then. Still, they must be good enough if HBO is continuing the series, which the network's press release today called "a show to watch."

One more bit of good news from the press release: The Conchords plan to follow up their recent EP with a full-length album in January 2008. I think that's worthy of a binary solo.

Listen to the Flight of the Conchords Album Online

BuzzSugar — Wed, 08 Aug 2007 06:30:00 PDT

One of my true pleasures this summer has been watching "Flight of the Conchords" on HBO each Sunday night. Jemaine Clement and Bret McKenzie never fail to crack me up playing versions of themselves in a struggling folk parody duo - New Zealand's fourth most popular folk parody duo, in fact - as they navigate New York life and try to shake off their one persistent, stalker-ish fan.

Their songs, which satirize everything from French pop to soul to power ballads, are a highlight of the show, and now a bunch of them have been collected on the band's EP, The Distant Future, which hit stores this week. The album is currently streaming over at AOL's Listening Party, and it's got some of the greatest hits from the show, including "I'm Not Crying" ("it's just raining/on my face"), as well as three live tracks, one of which is "Robots," a personal favorite.

I was worried the songs wouldn't be as funny without Bret and Jemaine's facial expressions and awkward dances, but luckily for all of us, they hold up just fine. If you'd rather watch an awkward dance, though, you can check out the guys' take on a cutesy French pop song from the most recent episode of the TV show if you
