Flight of the Concordes is a Grammy Award-winning New Zealand comedy duo composed of Bret McKenzie and Jemaine Clement. Billing themselves as “Formerly New Zealand’s fourth most popular guitar-based digi-bongo acapella-rap-funk-comedy folk duo”, the group uses a combination of witty observation, characterisation and acoustic folk guitars to work the audience. The duo’s comedy and music became first the basis of a BBC radio series and then an American television series, which premiered in 2007, also called Flight of the Conchords.

Named Best Alternative Comedy Act at the 2005 US Comedy Arts Festival, Best Newcomer at the Melbourne Comedy Festival, and receiving a nomination for the Perrier Comedy Award at the Edinburgh Fringe in 2003, the duo’s live performances have gained them a worldwide cult following.

Flight of the Concordes is currently being shown on bbc4 on a tuesday night, and the dvd boxsets are available in all good music and dvd stores.

Here is a small clip of what these guys do.

Ever heard of a japanese programme called ‘Takeshi’s Castle’, well its basically a bunch of crazy ass japanese people going on a show which has found ingenious ways of embarrassing and injuring fun loving japanese people, here is a small clip of what happens if you take a game of football, give every member of each team a pair of binocular’s taped to their head the wrong way round and let them try to play football.  If you like what you see here stay up tilll 4am any night of the week and there is an hour of this on virgin 1. Priceless!

Remember when you were young and all you wanted to do was run about, at your aunties for dinner-run about, at the school disco-run about, watching the local football team-run about, at a wedding-run about.  Well this litttle guy used to love just running about all over the place until he learned a valuable lesson. DONT RUN ABOUT!!

Heres a couple of young guys filming themselves doing pretty crap tricks on a skateboard and happening to catch some dynamite footage of some hot shot getting his come uppance.

Americans have given us some really wrong things over the years, George W Bush, Michael Jackson, TAB clear cola, R-Kelly and lawsuits but i think they have struck gold with this little way of ruining people who work at the local Macdonalds Drive thrus day.

FIRE IN THE HOLE!

Its good to know that if we are in our house, on a our way back from a night on the town, or in trouble in a city centre backstreet that these guys are but 3 digits on your phone keypad away from coming to the rescue should something go wrong.

Ok picture the scene, your off for a nice trek up one of the local mountains, its a nice clear day so you decide to maybe throw in some golf along the way.  As you climb higher you finally find the perfect spot to tee-off, you get out your golf stuff only to realise you’ve forgot to bring a tee, what ever shall we do now you think.  I suppose you could just lay the ball on your rucksack and hit it off there……….or could you?

For any budding footballers out there who idolise players like Gerrard, Kaka, Ronaldo, Deco or Henry, well here is a new hero for you, and a perfect example of how to take the ball of an ex-German World Cup player.
