wasnt quite sure their comedy style would transfer well to a tv show.
but its pretty damn funny stuff !

marsyas, are you a kiwi? or do you just get the kiwi jokes?

these guys are waaaaay funnier when it's just them and their guitars on stage in my opinion.

but it's not often two slightly-awkward-but-fkn-funny dudes from nz get a major hookup from HBO ... so all power to them.

I thought it was funny still even for a show. It was a bit too silly at first but halfway through I found myself genuinely laughing at the "cutting onions" bit.

I've become quite attached to this show. My girlfriend says the show reminds her of me. I'm not sure if that's a good thing.

But still, I love the singing bits!

the best parts are when they randomly break into song during the show

I think they are great and funny and all...but my co-worker listens to their songs like it's a serious album..gets a lil annoying. :|

Yes! This is amazing, caned the whole series in a couple of days. Tooo funny. Something so deadpan about the NZ accent, fits the comedy perfectly.

Genius!

Murray is a don also.
