Tonight marks the Season 2 debut of one of our favorite TV shows ever: Flight of the Conchords! It's been on hiatus for over a year, and both T and i have eagerly anticipated it's return to HBO. The show is about two kooky kiwis, Bret McKenzie and Jemaine Clement, who make up New Zealand's "4th most popular folk parody duo". They've moved to New York in hopes of hitting it big, but have yet to achieve much more than the undying devotion of one OBSESSED fan (played by the super fantastic Kristen Schaal).The deadpan dialog and inspired musical numbers are priceless. If you haven't seen them before you can find loads of hilarious clips on YouTube (one of my personal favorites is "Hiphopapotamus vs. Rhymenoceros"), plus you can watch the entire 1st episode of Season 2 on the HBO website!
But what cracks me up even more is how much my husband T vaguely resembles Jemaine in both appearance and extremely laid back attitude. Random strangers stop us on a regular basis to ask if we've seen the show, because they can't believe how similar they look. And if that wasn't enough, when our 3 year old saw a bit of an episode on TV she turned and asked "why is papa on TV?"
so, what do you think? The top 3 photos in the below montage are Jemaine, and the 5 below are of T. (since T doesn't see the resembles i'm sure he will be absolutely thrilled to see this post! ha ha).
