What Makes Me Laugh

The season finale of Flight of the Conchords came and went while we were in Australia (Bret and Jemaine are still shocked that we got out alive)  so I realize this post is several weeks out of date, but I feel the need to complete my chronicles of New Zealand tourism posters on the show.

I’m sure fellow blogger KiwiBloke will agree that “It’s not boring in New Zealand.”  That’s the final tourism poster title for this season. If you want to learn more about New Zealand’s thriving culture, scenery, and wildlife I highly recommend Kiwibloke’s blog and Catherine Sherman’s post on birds in New Zealand this year.

I flew Air New Zealand on the flight back to America and had the chance to review the early episodes from this season to see which posters I missed blogging about early on. I think I only missed two posters, “Woolcome to New Zealand” and “New Zealand: It’s Not Going Anywhere.”

The most exciting news is that Dave Walsh, the photographer whose images are on the posters in episodes #16-18 by Deputy Cultural Attache Murray Hewitt’s desk commented on the blog and you can see his beautiful photos and images of the FOTC posters on his website and on flickr.  

I can’t wait for next season! And next season’s posters! 

That’s the New Zealand tourism poster title on Flight of the Conchords episode #18. You can also catch a glimpse of another poster behind Murray this episode with the phrase, “Down Underer”. For fans keeping track of the tourism posters on the show I’ve included the last two (episodes 16-17). If you remember ones from episodes 13-15 please add them in the comment section. Thanks!

17. New Zealand Take Your Mum

16. New Zealand Better Than Old Zealand
