Flight of the Conchords

Humor, like the plane this band was named after, doesn't always travel well. But you don't have to be from New Zealand to laugh at these guys. Jermaine Clement and Bret McKenzie play a duo of musicians who, having moved to New York City, struggle with money, women, the New Zealand cultural attichè (he's their manager), their one fan and the notoriously intimidating Australians. Oh, and occasionally they break into song. They're funny that way.
