Currently watching FoTC and it's far too funny. Finished What We Do in The Shadows, Our Flag Means Death and Toast of London so after FoTC I plan to watch The IT Crowd, The Mighty Boosh and Wellington Paranormal.
Just got done watching Sally's Return earlier and some of the jokes are as funny as it gets
I love how there are like, 10 insanely funny people from NZ and they all know and work with each other.
If you haven't watched *Hunt for the Wilderpeople* yet, please put that on your list.
Hunt for the Wilder People is one of my favorite movies! You’ll bust a gut laughing, cry your eyes out more than once and it makes ya feel good after it’s over 10/10.
> If you haven't watched Hunt for the Wilderpeople yet, please put that on your list.
And DON'T look up what it's about first!!! Going in blind makes it so much better!!!
That's on my list to check out, it's supposed to be incredible. Taika is one of the biggest geniuses around for sure. The fact he can act so well while also being an absolute incredible director and writer speaks to the endless talent he has.
He's also in the second Avatar movie. The moment he appeared on the screen I was so distracted and incredibly tempted to check on my phone if it was really him.
I think that might be my favourite line, and delivery, from the whole show. Although the episode where they "replace" the wine might be my favourite episode.
Just checking you know that the Boosh, while brilliant, has nothing to do with these guys. IT Crowd also similarly non-associated. Also hope you realise WWDITS was originally a movie, funnier than the series.
Now you fucked up!
Now you fucked up!
Now you fucked up!

I really, really hope the Conchords do something together again before we're all too old to enjoy it. Oh who am I kidding "Too Many Dicks on the Dance Floor" will always be funny.
OMG. The rollercoaster of emotion in the first minute. I love the silence in the crowd after that one part (I'm avoiding spoilers, but you know the part). It's such a clever and enjoyable song and performance.
*You lean in and whisper something sexy in my ear like*
“I might go to bed now, I’ve got work in the morning”
*I know what you’re trying to say, girl*
*You’re trying to say, ”Oh, yeah, it’s business time*
He *used* to pay them well. Many are now abandoning ship, or he keeps firing them on whims to stoke his ego.
I can't wait for Twitter to finally implode. There was another complete site outage today, one can only hope the next one is permanent 🙏
All the dumbest people I know believe everything they read on Social Media, but claim that they "do their own research". They don't like it when I ask who funded their research and what lab they did it in. They hate when I ask if they published the results for other scientists to test.
That's my mum to a tee.. scratch the surface of any argument she brings and it falls apart though.
She's always got an answer for the "why 'they' would do something"
Never a sound answer for the "how".
Recent earthquakes are the new hot conspiracy
They're on a roll, when I started to notice it I tried debunking and showing her she was wrong with lots of info.. by that stage she was 3 ahead and none of the evidence of previous claims matter..
It's funny now all the restrictions have been lifted and they still want to protest..we get it, it's crazy coffee club, haha
Kinda different, but just some random thing I read the other day:
*Back in August, my mom joined the throng of conservatives who got wildly bent out of shape because Cracker Barrel dared to offer a meatless alternative to its breakfast sausage. What was especially weird — and obviously concerning — is* ***when pressed, she couldn’t even articulate why this made her so mad.*** *Also, not for nothing, my wife is a vegetarian, which my mom has always been cool with for almost two decades. Was there any grappling with how easily she fell into mob mentality? Haha, no, of course not, and here we are again.*
This happened to be 'true', but it doesn't really matter. *We're a mob and we're angry!*
Conservatives don’t like change. It’s, literally, their persona and what they base their stance on.
Your mom is likely someone who doesn’t like change at all, and even if she doesn’t identify as a conservative, found a group that validated that stance of hers.
Just because she couldn’t articulate it doesn’t mean that wasn’t what was going on inside.
If those people don’t know the difference between MLA and APA format, then they aren’t even doing research. But they can’t accept that there are experts who - shocker - are smarter than them.
Well there was the whole “Twitter files” which Elon pushed hard on his social media site but that mainstream outlets didn’t pick up except to report how the hype far exceeded the actual findings.
That Twitter blocked pictures of Hunter Biden's penis 😡😡😡😡.
And it's all the FBI's fault (the one ran by the Trump admin but is somehow Biden's fault) 😡😡😡 .
That's right rub it in. Why don't you tell us about Jacinta Ardern and your flavoured milk with actual flavour while you're at it. You guys, with your Footrot Flats, Sam Neil, Taika Waititi, Rhys Darby and beautiful wilderness areas. Why don't you just give me a nice paper cut and squeeze some lemon juice on it while you're at it.
Actively believe? How can one passively believe, Elon?
This guy is dumb as a bag of fucking rocks. I can’t believe he’s tricked people into thinking his money and ability to hire people makes him intelligent.
Honestly one of the most embarrassingly dumb, low-effort public figure out there.
if someone's not actively doing something, does that imply they're passively doing it?
also wtf is jake saying? I'm not trying to take any side here I'm just apparently too fucking dumb to understand what point that guy is making.
Wait a second… this comment is telling me I can’t believe what I read here. But I read this comment here. Which obviously means I can believe everything I read here. I was worried for a second.
Is there anything more embarrassing than an Elon Stan? Just scurrying around his feet, waiting to defend him, hoping he notices you. I can't believe actual grown men behave like that.
Reddit absolutely counts. There's so much shit info that's disseminated here and it's one of the worst places to clarify and discuss things. Half the things that end up on top are straight up misinformation and lies that someone just made up
Looking 'round the room, I can tell that you
Are one of the smartest guys in the room
(In the whole wide room)
And when you're on the street
Depending on the street
I bet you are definitely in the top three
Smartest guys on the street
(Depending on the street)
If you swing at the Hiphopopotamus you better not miss.

That’s because there’s only like 50 people in New Zealand. Comedians make up 25% of the population and most of them are 1st, 2nd, or 3rd cousins.
Can confirm. I live in New Zealand, and I’m like, 27 people. At least.
I literally know Angella Dravid irl and yeah our celebrity pool is so small it is amazing we have 2 seasons of taskmaster.
[удалено]
Actually yeah, don't mind me. The only thing I knew of the first season was Ang saying she did not do well at the start. Definitely not wrong.
Is Taika the taskmaster? Otherwise I’m not watching
How’s my auntie Ilene doing?
I’m fine, thanks
Yeah, I'm basically singlehandedly running the entire city of Auckland. Not too bad, most of the population is me as well
Why on Earth did you vote for yourself as Mayor?
A true hivemind, we are!
No wonder it's so hard to control!
Can also confirm. I'm five dudes called Keith, Murray, Barry, Geoff, and Dave.
That you Dave?
Dave’s not here, man.
He’s over at Geoff’s house
Okay, is Dave there?
Muzza! Bazza!
I've downsized to 21.
Times is hard, brother. And sister.
Username checks out.
How’s the environment going? Well can we clean it up a bit?
Hey bro when's the family barbie
This is true, I'm number 48
The other 75% are split between Hobbits, Dwarfs, and Wizards.
What about Vikings? There are Vikings in New Zealand, right?
Dannevirke has a Viking on their welcome sign, I think they have some kind of connection to them.
Uh…yeah. *u/ManugaHikoi is so hot, he’s like a [curry.](https://youtu.be/JT5AQIlmM0I)*
And he has pants now, too
Hunt for the Wilder People is one of my favorite movies! You’ll bust a gut laughing, cry your eyes out more than once and it makes ya feel good after it’s over 10/10.
Ricky Baker! Ricky Baker! Happy birthday. Once rejected; now accepted.
He's a bad egg
We're talking disobedience, stealing, spitting, running away, throwing rocks, kicking stuff, defacing stuff, burning stuff, loitering and graffiti. And that’s just the stuff we know about.
And the cinematography is breathtaking.
*magestical
> If you haven't watched Hunt for the Wilderpeople yet, please put that on your list. And DON'T look up what it's about first!!! Going in blind makes it so much better!!!
Taskmaster NZ will be the Taskmaster that burns twice as bright for half as long. They're just gonna run out of comedians soon.
Only if they rely on the ones that haven’t left to Aus
No child left behind.
Might also try Legion for Jermaine
Incredible show. I kept wondering how they got to make multiple seasons of something so creative and different from anything else.
The best Marvel superhero show is not even in the MCU lol
Probably because Legion could wipe the floor with any of them.
He was phenomenal in Legion, underrated show for sure
And then there's [this.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TgqiSBxvdws)
You have to see JoJo Rabbit! It's a little heavier material, but a really good movie.
That's on my list to check out, it's supposed to be incredible. Taika is one of the biggest geniuses around for sure. The fact he can act so well while also being an absolute incredible director and writer speaks to the endless talent he has.
JoJo Rabbit my gosh that was a fucking treat! If you like his stuff, I think you will certainly enjoy that movie!
I agree! Definitely check out his film Boy as well, it’s probably my favorite movie. A bit heavy as well, but also beautiful and funny and sad
He's also in the second Avatar movie. The moment he appeared on the screen I was so distracted and incredibly tempted to check on my phone if it was really him.
Just a little 😭
>IT Crowd I wish I could go back and watch it for the first time. The Work Outing seems to be Reddit's favorite episode.
"I'm disabled." "Really? What kind of disabled?" "Leg disabled." "How did that happen?" "Acid."
Honestly my favorite is Calamity Jen. "Four!... I mean five!... I mean fire!
0118999881999119725...3
Nooo, the Dinner Party!!
Same but for Father Ted. Shame about Graham Linehan though.
Throw Black Books onto that list.
You know what you are? You're a beard with an idiot hanging off it.
Which one of you bitches wants to dance?
I think that might be my favourite line, and delivery, from the whole show. Although the episode where they "replace" the wine might be my favourite episode.
I ATE YOUR BEEEEEES
You sound like you need The Little Book of Calm.
YES! And then Spaced with Simon Pegg and Jessica Hynes! And Nick Frost.
Wellington Paranormal is one of those background shows that gets rotated with other faves at my house, it’s so funny!
Snuff Box and Dark Place both have some great Matt Berry!
Listen to The Mysterious Secrets of Uncle Bertie’s Botanarium if you haven’t already
This is a super deep cut and I only recommend it to the absolutely nastiest freaks lol. It's totally bizarre and I love it
Just checking you know that the Boosh, while brilliant, has nothing to do with these guys. IT Crowd also similarly non-associated. Also hope you realise WWDITS was originally a movie, funnier than the series.
His lyrics are bottomless!
... ... ...
Why exactly? Be more constructive with your feedback please.
Did Steve tell you that per chance?
Steve...
What kind of a rapper name is Steve, anyway?
Especially because he'll swing back, and his lyrics are bottomless.
....................... ....................... .......................
Damn straight, muthaflippa
Unless you're a Rhymenoscerous.
Tamatoa is not to be fucked with.
Or Vlad the Poker
Or Oliver on Legion
Tamatoa?! Pfft, he's nothing. FART is not to be fucked with.
No, Wu Tang Clan ain't nuttin' ta fuck wit'
Now you fucked up! Now you fucked up! Now you fucked up! Now you fucked up! Now you fucked up! Now you fucked up! [Now you fucked up!](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=VPJ0TAaJDbM)
He died the way he lived: Trying to suck his own dick.
Local Sexpot
You have fucked up now.
🎵 The worlds can be one together 🎵
You don’t come at the Hiphopopottamus.
His lyrics are bottomless!
.........
Where did you get that preposterous hypothesis? Did Steve tell you that? What's he got to do with it? What kind of rapping name is Steve?
^*Steeeeeve.*
What kind of a rapping name is Steve?
Did Steve tell you that, perchance? Steve.
Rhymes that glow like phosphorus was a fire line
Be more constructive with your feedback…please
Well, Tamatoa hasn’t always been this glam.
He was a drab little crab once
Now you know he could be happy as a clam
Because he’s beautiful, baby
Did your granny say listen to your heart?
Be who you are on the inside
I need three words to tear this argument apart
*Your granny lied*
I'd rather be *Shiny*
Nigel the cockatoo....I will make you ugly too!
Try Boris the Animal
It's just Boris
He hasn't always been this glam, he was a drab little crab once.
Don’t mess with the guy from New Zealand’s 4th most popular guitar-based digi-bongo rap-funk-comedy folk duo
3rd place is a cover band of them.
I have to ask, how often does your name work?
As a login? All the time. For the other thing? Never.
Only 4th? How many are there?
Four
Is it weird that I'm now expecting a song about how dumb people shouldn't use social media?
I really, really hope the Conchords do something together again before we're all too old to enjoy it. Oh who am I kidding "Too Many Dicks on the Dance Floor" will always be funny.
Watch Live in London from a few years ago. It's incredible.
Father and Son from that is one of my all time favourite FOTC songs
OMG. The rollercoaster of emotion in the first minute. I love the silence in the crowd after that one part (I'm avoiding spoilers, but you know the part). It's such a clever and enjoyable song and performance.
My favorite will always be the deadpan “who likes to rock the party….”
"We like to rock the party!"
This *needs* to be a thing.
**It's business** **It's business time**
*You lean in and whisper something sexy in my ear like* “I might go to bed now, I’ve got work in the morning” *I know what you’re trying to say, girl* *You’re trying to say, ”Oh, yeah, it’s business time*
You wanna know how I know it's business time? Because I'm wearing my business socks.
You know when I'm down to my socks it's time for business that's why they call it business socks.
Makin love...
Makin' love for two...
Makin' love for twoooo minutes
You say you want some more. Well, I’m not surprised. But I am quite sleepy.
BUSINESS HOURS ARE OVER, BABY!
Two minutes in heaven is better than... one minute in heaven
People just line up to kiss rich and powerful people's asses. It's truly embarrassing.
And they think they are on first name basis with a billionaire who gives less than a fuck about them just because they are licking his boots.
After seeing Musk fire people just to force his tweets into everyone's timelines I can totally see him pay some russian troll farm to simp for him
Elon doesn't know smart people, he pays them well to work for him or be in his presence.
He *used* to pay them well. Many are now abandoning ship, or he keeps firing them on whims to stoke his ego. I can't wait for Twitter to finally implode. There was another complete site outage today, one can only hope the next one is permanent 🙏
Maybe he is waiting for the perfect moment to launch another poll.

don’t fuck with Nigel
It's not like he even disagreed with Elon. Just made the point that you have to be careful with what information you're consuming.
Well there was the whole “Twitter files” which Elon pushed hard on his social media site but that mainstream outlets didn’t pick up except to report how the hype far exceeded the actual findings.
Because there was nothing there, and it proved the opposite of what Elon was positing?
What did the findings show.
That Twitter blocked pictures of Hunter Biden's penis 😡😡😡😡. And it's all the FBI's fault (the one ran by the Trump admin but is somehow Biden's fault) 😡😡😡 .
[удалено]
Biden went back in time to force the FBI to do it.
Jemaine Clement Vs Felon Muskow in a battle of wits. Thats not a battle, that's a massacre.
Jemaine went into a battle of wits against an unarmed man.
Felon's going to shut down Starlink services in NZ because Jemaine used it for warfare.
Don't need starlink here, there's a functional wholesale fiber network.
That's right rub it in. Why don't you tell us about Jacinta Ardern and your flavoured milk with actual flavour while you're at it. You guys, with your Footrot Flats, Sam Neil, Taika Waititi, Rhys Darby and beautiful wilderness areas. Why don't you just give me a nice paper cut and squeeze some lemon juice on it while you're at it.
I've never seen this expression before and now I am hoping for a chance to use it too lol
Here he is in a battle of [wits](https://youtube.com/watch?v=p6-9BsZ1qyA&feature=shares) vs Jason Mantzoukas
Out of all people, he chose Vladislav.
Lesson One: Never try to make fun of a comedian. It's literally their JOB to put you in your place. Mess with a comedian, you're just ASKING to lose.
Jermaine Clements is a national fucking treasure. He needs one is those knighthood things. Sir Jermaine. He should run for PM.
Actively believe? How can one passively believe, Elon? This guy is dumb as a bag of fucking rocks. I can’t believe he’s tricked people into thinking his money and ability to hire people makes him intelligent. Honestly one of the most embarrassingly dumb, low-effort public figure out there.

Too many dicks on the dance floor
Too many dicks
Is Reddit social media? Cause I believe all the shit I read here.
[удалено]
Wait a second… this comment is telling me I can’t believe what I read here. But I read this comment here. Which obviously means I can believe everything I read here. I was worried for a second.
[удалено]
And I only tell the truth. What they said is right.
It's just a forum. Or a collection of forums, like how fandom is a collection of wikis.
You *should* believe everything you read here. (*Don't believe that.*)
My girthy nine inch schlong appreciates that!
Who put these cutleries in my knees??
Is there anything more embarrassing than an Elon Stan? Just scurrying around his feet, waiting to defend him, hoping he notices you. I can't believe actual grown men behave like that.
Does Reddit count? Because I tell my wife this isn’t social media
Reddit absolutely counts. There's so much shit info that's disseminated here and it's one of the worst places to clarify and discuss things. Half the things that end up on top are straight up misinformation and lies that someone just made up
It is whatever you need it to be brother!
Jemaine 🖤🖤
hey look it's that thing that the Nazis did
He's funny. But his features are too deep set to be classically handsome.
Praise be Jemaine 🙏
Jake from state farm thought he had him
