It’s business time: Flight of the Conchords’ five best videos

Who likes to the rock the party? Apparently plenty of Atlantans do, as we’ve sold out Flight of the Conchords’ comedy concert at the Fox Theatre on Saturday, April 11. Initially billed in the U.S. as “New Zealand’s fourth most popular folk parody duo,” the musical comedy team of Jemaine Clement (the taller, bespectacled one) and Bret McKenzie (the shorter, shaggier one) have become cult sensations thanks to their eponymous HBO sitcom, which recently finished its sophomore season. The snappy music video segments of each episode, ready-made for viral sharing, no doubt built up the twosome’s popularity, and here’s a totally subjective, NSFW suggestion of Flight of the Conchords five funniest, catchiest clips.

1. “Business Time.”

The Conchords have songs and videos that I enjoy more, but this is the one I use to introduce Bret and Jemaine to the uninitiated. It’s a hilarious showcase for many of their strengths, including Jemaine’s faux Barry White, ridiculous-yet-somehow-cool soul crooning and the way their lyrics’ embrace of mundane realities take the piss out of the sexual aggrandizement of R&B.
