Well, it was only one episode, maybe I need to see the full range of their loveability?

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.

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

*cries* roxy, why you break-ah my heart? ;-)

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.

Jemaine's David Bowie speaking voice is actually a note perfect James Mason.

You know, that's true.

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

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

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.

Chaki u should do a cover of "the most beautiful girl in the room" in your band =)

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.")

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

I love it when he says "the gulab jamun is to DIE FOR", like it is some kind of awesome party drug lol.

I, also, watched Ep 1 this week. And spent ages trying to work out where I'd seen the American girl Jemaine was crushing on before. Thankfully, I realised.

No Sellotape, no credibility.
Or does it have a different name?

Pencils in the wind is the Sellotape song.

argh xpost.
OK, thanks. Actually some of the lyrics floating around the interweb say "Love is like a delicate pencil" but I hear it has "Love is like a mechanical pencil." Anyone else have an opinion?
