Okay I changed my mind I do want to punch Murray now.
The finale broke my heart.

I love though when he's talking about adding Todd..."you'll be a real band now, like the Policemen".
― nickalicious, Tuesday, 4 September 2007 23:06 (sixteen years ago) link
OMG the angry dance, I think I bust something laughing.

I just checked my DVR and apparently the long awaited series recap was last night/this morning. So happy.

I do not find them funny at all, but I also have not watched much.

i watched a full episode and laughed a good bit but srsly the only difference between these guys and Tenacious D is that they murmur.
― da croupier, Saturday, 22 September 2007 20:57 (sixteen years ago) link
Saw for first time last night -- not for me, I think. I would like to swear off now and remain rather fondly uninterested, but if I kept watching I think I could come to hate them, hate them all.

you guys hate the funk.

i still love this show! there is a special place in my heart for funk, it's true, but also a special place alongside it for the millions of local funk bands in the world who i will never go see even if i have roommates or friends in these funk bands sorry guys

laurel you could never hate murray! not murray!
― rrrobyn, Sunday, 23 September 2007 01:07 (sixteen years ago) link
I feel sorry for Murray :(
― Trayce, Sunday, 23 September 2007 02:02 (sixteen years ago) link
Well, it was only one episode, maybe I need to see the full range of their loveability?
― Laurel, Sunday, 23 September 2007 03:08 (sixteen years ago) link
WE ARE FROM THE YEAR 2000 ROBOTS WE KILL THE HUMANS WQITH ARE SMARTS!
FUUUUUCK YOU

LOVE!
I saw an episode on BBC4 the other day - not quite a patch on the Radio 2 series! Yet, anyway.
― DavidM, Sunday, 23 September 2007 07:23 (sixteen years ago) link
I need to stay away from alcohol. Forever. I feel so shitty right now.
Anyway...love this show. Watched all the episodes on demand about a week ago. It is basically "Tenacious Twee" but that works fine for me as i loved the original Tenacious D HBO show. I think FOTC have better songs, though.
Jermaine's my favorite of the two. He resembles my friend Justin (even sounds like him!), except skinny and from New Zealand.
Murray is just a great character.

Jemaine's David Bowie speaking voice is actually a note perfect James Mason.
― James Redd and the Blecchs, Sunday, 23 September 2007 13:28 (sixteen years ago) link
You know, that's true.
― Michael White, Monday, 24 September 2007 17:07 (sixteen years ago) link
I don't know why anybody would prefer the stage show to the TV program: I saw some of those on YouTube and it looks like THEY ARE LAUGHING AT THEIR OWN JOKES. Well smirking at least. A little too They Might Be Giants for me. Plus the acoustic guitars interfere with their dance moves.

what episode did you see, laurel?
― kenan, Tuesday, 25 September 2007 18:20 (sixteen years ago) link
(just curious, btw, i'm not going to try to convert you or anything)
laurel, the first ep i watched i felt the same way but it only took another to hook me in.
― sunny successor, Tuesday, 25 September 2007 18:23 (sixteen years ago) link
Oh wow I just saw Ep 1 of this and it's my new favourite programme.
― Noodle Vague, Tuesday, 25 September 2007 21:02 (sixteen years ago) link
The one where a woman who works in a coffee shop tells one of the boys that she's shipping out to Iraq as a sniper in order to get him to sleep with her. And it comes out that their band manager has paid for like four boxes of sawdust instead of copies of their CD b/c he did a deal with someone "under the bridge". Etc.
― Laurel, Tuesday, 25 September 2007 21:09 (sixteen years ago) link
I just saw it too (hurray freeview) and yeah, it's pretty good.
The songs are easily the best bits, though. That and "I'm looking for an Australian", which was during a song anyway.
― Just got offed, Tuesday, 25 September 2007 21:36 (sixteen years ago) link
The New Zealand posters in their manager's office were priceless.
― Noodle Vague, Tuesday, 25 September 2007 21:38 (sixteen years ago) link
OMG, of all the episodes to not be feeling! The big reveal on her teenage-boy infertility / blueballs technique get me laughing just vaguely thinking about it.
Not like Dave talking about seeing a puppy being born, but still
― nabisco, Tuesday, 25 September 2007 21:41 (sixteen years ago) link
xpost: Haha, I didn't see! The 'NZ ROCKS!!!' one was pretty good, though, so if that's the guideline...
Also great (perhaps the neatest bit) was the fact that after the first song, it DIDN'T cut back to him at the party looking lonesome, as you'd expect, but it turned out to all have happened.
galdarn it, the USA are like five episodes ahead of us
― Just got offed, Tuesday, 25 September 2007 21:43 (sixteen years ago) link
One of them was for Lord of the Rings, and the other one said something like "It's Great! If You Don't Expect Too Much"
― Noodle Vague, Tuesday, 25 September 2007 21:46 (sixteen years ago) link
Finally saw all of season 1, have been rewatching it, and I have "Foux de Fa Fa" stuck in my head all the time at the moment.
― Trayce, Tuesday, 25 September 2007 22:50 (sixteen years ago) link
NEW ZEALAND........COOL!
― chaki, Tuesday, 25 September 2007 22:53 (sixteen years ago) link
Chaki u should do a cover of "the most beautiful girl in the room" in your band =)
― Trayce, Tuesday, 25 September 2007 22:55 (sixteen years ago) link
Not to mention the 'casual Prince' scene where he explains that his sublettors think they're his parents (the t-shirt, the blouse, "I know. It's creepy! I think they do it on the computer.")
― Michael White, Tuesday, 25 September 2007 22:58 (sixteen years ago) link
Trayce, is that the 'part-time model' one?

probably you should change it to most beautiful boy in the room just to be fair and accurate
