Hey, everyone!

Since it's still New Zealand Comedy Month on my website (it's winding down quickly though!), I wanted to share with you all my latest Kiwi humor post: My favorite comedian cameos on Flight of the Conchords.

I've listed many well-known comics with memorable spots on the HBO show as well as a "where are they now" section about the series regulars.

I hope you enjoy the article, and please let me know if I have missed any meaningful cameos (Note: I only focused on stand-up comics, so Art Garfunkel and Daryl Hall did not apply. Sorry!).

I also have created a complete list page for all of my recent posts about Kiwi comedy.

Hope you have a spooky week before Halloween, and here's an appropriate poem for this time of year courtesy of Bo Burnham:

Mid-October

with leaves spilled like colored pencil shavings.

The streets dicing our town into neat, unfair portions.

And me...eatin' that pussy, baby

[kay-no-lies]

There are sooooo many Hoos on the field tonight!

Sometimes I feel like every conversation with my boyfriend just ends up with me slowly morphing into Mel

He’s such a Doug. I love him.

And when he sees this he has no idea what I mean in detail because he hasn’t watched Flight of the Conchords. But this amount of context is enough.

Did you use to be a fan of Ashlyn or did you never like her? I used to love the Ateam vibe they had going on but now I have to find a new gay powercouple to follow. Any recommendations?? Queer family’s make me so happy and I just never see them because I live in a small town :(

I was a fan of Ashlyn! I liked Ali more just because I felt like I connected with her better especially soccer wise and her journey and stuff. I supported Ashlyn though and respected her work ethic and drive and how she fought through so much adversity through all her injuries and stuff. Unfortunately now it seems like that real Ashlyn I followed years ago no longer exists.

I’m sorry you don’t see queer couples in your town :/ I had that same issue until I moved to a big city. I don’t follow many queer couples at the moment but there’s on couple that posts cute YouTube videos that I have enjoyed

Also this was a recommendation from my friend! @juststaroracle — mapi and Ingrid (post a lot) or Alexia and Olga (kinda give krashlyn circa 2018 vibes), or Irene Paredes and her partner (they have gorgeous kids too!)

So, I’d somehow managed to never have heard the Flight of the Conchords radio sitcom before. I first watched their TV sitcom in about 2009, I think. And got into their music from there. I’ve re-watched that show many, many times in the last fifteen years, it’s probably one of the shows I’ve watched the most times in full. Yet somehow, never bothered to hear the radio show that came first until this week, when I was gathering Daniel Kitson radio things like, to borrow a phrase I’ve heard someone else use, a comedy magpie. Kitson was only in one episode, but I listened to all six, deciding that’s long overdue.

Here are some thoughts:

- Interesting (to me) that the only actor, besides the main two, to reprise his radio role in the TV show was Rhys Darby. I guess that should be obvious – he’s the only other Kiwi main character, he’s the one who started out with them. But for some reason I hadn’t thought of the fact that he had more history with the band than just being cast in their TV show. That’s cool.

He plays almost the same character. Different name, and in the radio show he was still with his wife, though only barely. And no useful job outside the band. That’s the difference between British radio and American TV for you – America and TV make their characters have glamourous jobs like working in the New Zealand consulate office.

- On that subject, the big and obvious difference is that the radio show is on the BBC and about a Kiwi band trying to make it in England, while the TV show is on HBO and about a Kiwi band trying to make it in America. That may reflect the band’s actual growing success – in 2005, they were trying to get somewhere in Britain, and by 2007, they were breaking America.

- Daniel Kitson plays a novelty music guy for whom the Conchords do support work. His character performs with a panda puppet. This is funny to me because about a year and a half earlier, Daniel Kitson was ranting to at least one audience about his dislike of people who perform with puppets (the immortal line “If you want to say rude things on stage, take the sock off your hand and start losing friends, you fucking chicken”), based on a radio show he had to do with ventriloquist Nina Conti.

- This also makes it amusing to me that Nina Conti appeared in that radio show, though not with her puppet and not in the same episode as Daniel Kitson. She played a slightly different version of the character played by Kristen Schaal in the TV show, and Jimmy Carr played her husband. I think Jimmy Carr was the only guest star to turn up in more than one episode, and I hate to say this, but he was quite good.

- I find it very funny that they still did a storyline with Bret being self-conscious about being too skinny, even in the radio version. Because we can’t see him there. They could have had any character self-conscious about anything. But they still decided to pick on Bret McKenzie by making it a plot point that what he actually looks like is a terrible thing to look (even though it’s definitely not… I mean, I’m not often attracted to men, but I very occasionally am, and when I am, they tend to look like Bret McKenzie).

- Other plot points common to both versions: they have a Yoko Ono (different name, very similar character, her episode is probably the most similar between the radio and TV versions), Bret quits the band, Rhys Darby struggles to get them bookings.

- Actually, I was wrong about Rhys Darby being the only one to reprise his role. Greg Proops plays the same character who sends them off on basically the same plotline.

- Writing this post got me looking at the Wikipedia page for their TV show, and it is quite cool to just look at that list of guest stars, keeping in mind that this was all pre-2010. Look at all the stuff the guest and recurring stars have gone on to do, in addition to Kristen Schaal and Rhys Darby’s careers.

I’m pretty sure Bret and Jermaine count as official Chocolate Milk Gang members, as does Demitri Martin (who’s billed on the Wikipedia page as a guest star in that TV show because he’s only in one episode, but he has such a significant role in that episode that I tend to think of him as a major character). And a number of the other names on that page are people I think of as CMG-adjacent for various reasons. The Flight of the Conchords TV sitcom is basically a gathering of the NYC wing of the CMG (yes I realize it may not be entirely accurate to define the New York alternative comedy scene as merely a branch of some stuff that happened in Britain, but this is how I choose to see the world). See, this sort of thing is why I have described the Chocolate Milk Gang as “an international crime syndicate that sometimes organizes soccer matches” (that is a quote from John Oliver, even though he may have been actually talking about FIFA when he said it).

Pride 2024 - Day 16

Movie: The Power of the Dog

Made in: 2021 – Set in: 1925

Starring: Benedict Cumberbatch, Jesse Plemons, Kristen Dust, Kodi Smit-McPhee, Thomasin McKenzie

Rated R for: Brief sexual content and nudity (lots of buns)

A Netflix movie based on the book by Thomas Savage, follows domineering rancher, Phil Burbank and his brother, George whose complicated relationship is made worse when George marries widow in-keeper, Rose. During the summer, Rose’s son, Peter, comes to stay and Phil takes an interest in the young man.

A dark drama that shows emotional abuse and hero worship, it doesn’t have much in the way of plot and instead relies on characters to tell the story. Phil is a mean man who calls his brother names and doesn’t seem to wish him to be really happy. He aims his torment on his brother’s new wife, Rose and his actions toward her have a consequence he does not foresee.

Spoilers under Keep Reading Line

Phil is killed at the end of the movie but everyone else is happy now, I guess.

This movie was very slow paced and didn’t really start to pick up until Peter comes to stay with them. I feel like George, who lived with Phil’s verbal abuse and witnessed Rose crying from it, shouldn’t have taken her to live there. What did he expect would happen? Especially when it was clear Phil wasn’t happy with the two marrying. I picked up the hero worship Phil had for Bronco Henry really early and felt like Phil also had some kind of obsession over his brother (maybe not a romantic or sexual one but he had to know where he was at all times and didn’t like when he wasn’t with him) Seeing Phil and Peter together suggested that maybe Phil could have been a decent person underneath it all, but then he could have just wanted to shag Peter, so I don’t know. I feel like a lot of his personality and masculinity problems are due to the people around him and maybe even his old lover, Henry. I may have felt sorry for Phil with his repressed homosexuality but then he took his anger out on a horse and I don’t like someone hurting or scaring animals. Peter at times disturbed me a bit, as nothing seemed to bother him and he’d kill animals without any thought of it. He didn’t even seem to have any guilt for killing Phil. I also wasn’t exactly sure why Phil burned the hides. Wasn’t that his source of income? What was the purpose of burning them? Though there is good acting and I always like Benedict Cumberbatch as an actor, I don’t know if I’d watch this movie again. I don’t mind subtlety in a movie but I think it relied on it too much. Perhaps it’s one of those ‘you’d have to read the book to understand it’ but that should never come up in a movie adaptation. I shouldn’t have to read anything to be able to follow it clearly.

Mom’s Thoughts: This shows that even gay people can be toxic and cruel to the people around them. Some may say that Phil was treated cruelly so he reacted with cruelty. Nothing in the movie hints to this, though, and I feel sorry for Rose, Peter and George who seem to be the targets of his abuse. I find it difficult to witness others’ mistreatment and still do not feel any satisfaction in the abuser getting what some might feel his “just desserts.” There was quite a bit of dysfunction in this movie—especially Phil’s controlling of George and possible narcissism and George’s codependency--and was hard to watch. George was very ineffective in protecting Rose from Phil’s abuse and she plainly felt threatened. Peter seemed unmoved by any action he took or any action against him and was not remorseful for killing Phil. Though the acting was very good, I don’t think I would want to see this movie again because of the cruelty shown by several of the characters. Okay, mostly Phil and Peter. I guess you could say it had numerous triggers for me.
