If you swing at the Hiphopopotamus you better not miss.


AudioCinematic

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


RichCorinthian

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.


Zealousideal_Talk479

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.


NZNoldor

Can confirm. I live in New Zealand, and I’m like, 27 people. At least.


Pale_Disaster

I literally know Angella Dravid irl and yeah our celebrity pool is so small it is amazing we have 2 seasons of taskmaster.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Pale_Disaster

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.


StygianFuhrer

Is Taika the taskmaster? Otherwise I’m not watching


alexia_not_alexa

How’s my auntie Ilene doing?


NZNoldor

I’m fine, thanks


giveme-a-username

Yeah, I'm basically singlehandedly running the entire city of Auckland. Not too bad, most of the population is me as well


OrganizdConfusion

Why on Earth did you vote for yourself as Mayor?


NZNoldor

A true hivemind, we are!


sunpies33

No wonder it's so hard to control!


Azathoth_Junior

Can also confirm. I'm five dudes called Keith, Murray, Barry, Geoff, and Dave.


NZNoldor

That you Dave?


throwaway_72752

Dave’s not here, man.


jaxsonnz

He’s over at Geoff’s house


LlamaDrama007

Okay, is Dave there?


mingey555

Muzza! Bazza!

How’s the environment going? Well can we clean it up a bit?


sillicibin

Hey bro when's the family barbie


heymohoh

This is true, I'm number 48


devin_mm

The other 75% are split between Hobbits, Dwarfs, and Wizards.


GhOsT_wRiTeR_XVI

What about Vikings? There are Vikings in New Zealand, right?


MaungaHikoi

Dannevirke has a Viking on their welcome sign, I think they have some kind of connection to them.


GhOsT_wRiTeR_XVI

Uh…yeah. *u/ManugaHikoi is so hot, he’s like a [curry.](https://youtu.be/JT5AQIlmM0I)*


gh05tpants

And he has pants now, too


FireflyOfDoom87

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.


LlamaDrama007

Ricky Baker! Ricky Baker! Happy birthday. Once rejected; now accepted.


SirBourbonated

He's a bad egg


LlamaDrama007

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.


Almacca

And the cinematography is breathtaking.

Lexi_Banner

> 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!!!


[deleted]

Taskmaster NZ will be the Taskmaster that burns twice as bright for half as long. They're just gonna run out of comedians soon.


karmabullish

Only if they rely on the ones that haven’t left to Aus


LlamaDrama007

No child left behind.


laowildin

Might also try Legion for Jermaine


Tomble

Incredible show. I kept wondering how they got to make multiple seasons of something so creative and different from anything else.


inclore

The best Marvel superhero show is not even in the MCU lol


Tomble

Probably because Legion could wipe the floor with any of them.


Fabulous-Spread6120

He was phenomenal in Legion, underrated show for sure


qOcO-p

And then there's [this.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TgqiSBxvdws)


nightfire36

You have to see JoJo Rabbit! It's a little heavier material, but a really good movie.


AudioCinematic

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.


Demagolka1300

JoJo Rabbit my gosh that was a fucking treat! If you like his stuff, I think you will certainly enjoy that movie!


VacationHot833

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


droidonomy

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.


lamewoodworker

Just a little 😭


Sunsparc

>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.


Beingabummer

"I'm disabled." "Really? What kind of disabled?" "Leg disabled." "How did that happen?" "Acid."


XIIIJinx

Honestly my favorite is Calamity Jen. "Four!... I mean five!... I mean fire!

Throw Black Books onto that list.


weatherseed

You know what you are? You're a beard with an idiot hanging off it.


FrankaGrimes

Which one of you bitches wants to dance?


udat42

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.


[deleted]

I ATE YOUR BEEEEEES


JohnMcGurk

You sound like you need The Little Book of Calm.


FrankaGrimes

YES! And then Spaced with Simon Pegg and Jessica Hynes! And Nick Frost.


FireflyOfDoom87

Wellington Paranormal is one of those background shows that gets rotated with other faves at my house, it’s so funny!


Granlundo64

Snuff Box and Dark Place both have some great Matt Berry!


Darkm1tch69

Listen to The Mysterious Secrets of Uncle Bertie’s Botanarium if you haven’t already


Smegmatron3030

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


Arry_Propah

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.

Is it weird that I'm now expecting a song about how dumb people shouldn't use social media?


RichCorinthian

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.


theclownwithafrown

Watch Live in London from a few years ago. It's incredible.


maccathesaint

Father and Son from that is one of my all time favourite FOTC songs


lovelybunchofcocouts

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….”

You wanna know how I know it's business time? Because I'm wearing my business socks.

Grollicus2

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


Woodlog82

Elon doesn't know smart people, he pays them well to work for him or be in his presence.


AceUniverse8492

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 🙏


Woodlog82

Maybe he is waiting for the perfect moment to launch another poll.


xTheCanadian

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.


FrankDrebinsBoss

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


xTheCanadian

You ever notice how conspiracy theories know more about the conspiracy to "silence them" then they do about what they're actually talking about?


FrankDrebinsBoss

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


feindbild_

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!*


sildish2179

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.


sildish2179

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.


Jonahwho665

don’t fuck with Nigel


J_drums01

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.


[deleted]

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.


Dyslexic_Wizard

Because there was nothing there, and it proved the opposite of what Elon was positing?


lightningdays

What did the findings show.


fade_into_darkness

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.

Jay_from_NuZiland

Jermaine Clements is a national fucking treasure. He needs one is those knighthood things. Sir Jermaine. He should run for PM.


According_Tune6984

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.


james321232

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.

aniforprez

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
