I told you I was freaky

australia Only one episode left to go in this season’s Flight of the Conchords, and I’ll have to miss it, because … and this is not a joke … I’ll be in Australia. I think it may be the ultimate fan betrayal. 

But, we have more important things to discuss this evening. Namely, the poster by Murray’s desk in Episode #21: New Zealand Worth A Go. Yes, I am absolutely positive it is, and if I had more time on my travels to the land down under I would give New Zealand a go and go down underer.  Sad, very sad.

Anyway, here are some alternate titles for my post based on tonight’s episode:

1. Greg could be responsible

2. I think she has man feet

Cheers!

The winner of the famed Flight of the Conchords Poster Contest is DKNG. I have no idea what DKNG stands for, but I do like the poster (shown here). It was my first runner-up. Considering that I have no expertise in poster judging, I think I did pretty well in almost guessing the winner.

Another night of squinting at the television to catch the New Zealand tourism poster next to Murray’s desk. Are your ready? It’s New Zealand Like Scotland But Further. Also, Bryan the Prime Minister shared his own campaign poster on tonight’s episode.

Flight of the ConchordsSpeaking of posters, the show’s poster contest is heading into the final stages. Finalists have been selected and I’m rooting for Flip the Birds

For fans jonesing for more information about the show’s stars and other interesting tidbits from New Zealand I highly recommend Kiwi Bloke’s blog, which most recently posted items about Jemaine Clement taking on a new comedy project and Rhys Darby (Murray) starring with Philip Seymour Hoffman in a movie.

 Also, Catherine Sherman writes a compelling post about why she became a fan of the New Zealand duo and includes the famous “It’s business time” song for your viewing pleasure. 

For stalkers like Mel, there is always the unofficial FOTC fan sites. My favorite? What the Folk!
