Random-Video-of-the-Day: Flight of the Conchords

Believe it or not, I'm still having issues posting mp3's thanks to spotty service from MediaMax, so I'm forced to put up another video. With that in mind, today I've decided to draw attention to my new favorite TV comedy, and the brightest, most original new show on HBO (no, it's not John from Cincinnati). It's Flight of the Conchords, the best thing to come out of New Zealand since Steinlager and wool. The show is about a Kiwi folk duo who have relocated to New York City, only for hilarity and zaniness to ensue. The band, consisting of Jermaine Clement and Bret Mckenzie, search for love, success, and an overall sense of equilibrium by bumbling, redeeming, and randomly breaking into song along the way. This particular clip is my favorite tune from the show. After being confronted in an alley by a pair of street hoods, Jermaine and Bret, AKA Hiphopopotamus and Rhymenoceros, spit hot lyrical flames and drop some ill dance moves, much to the confusion of their would-be attackers. If you haven't seen the show before, this scene is a good sampler, plus it's downright hilarious.
