Flight of the Conchords are a comedy duo from New Zealand.

Describing themselves as “Formerly New Zealand’s fourth most popular guitar-based digi-bongo acapella-rap-funk-comedy folk duo” - these guys are absolutely hilarious:

It’s Business Time

Most Beautiful Girl in the Room

You can see loads more of these on YouTube or on the Flight of the Conchords Website.

If you are not aware of the Fonejacker then you need to check this out. A Fonejack is classed as:

fonejack / v.1. to seize control of a telephone conversation by farce
esp. to divert it from reason and logic

Came across it on an E4 advert and there are You Tube video’s for it and a MySpace.

There are more about, head over to You Tube and search for Fonejacker. Most chucklemsome!

Found a most chucklesome website today. It’s called ‘Scraggy’s Guide to being a Complete Prat in a Car’. It’s so funny because it is so true. Will post the highlights below. Linky comes at the end :)

The attachment of bullbars
Here we have the perfect way of displaying your contempt for other people and their safety. Modern vehicles are designed to give the other person the best chance of survival in pretty unpleasant circumstances. These little goodies make sure that they have virtually no chance at all. The big chrome ones with no chance of even seeing a bull, let alone nudging it…

See what I mean? So true! Bull bars are a pet hate of mine and there is so much truth in what lil Scraggy has to say. Should a child run out in front of a 4×4 with bull bars, even if it was doing less than 30, what chance do they have eh?

So full points for that one Scrag! Next we have

Use of front fog lamps
It is important to drive around at night in clear conditions with these lights on, in order to achieve maximum points. Pillocks will turn off their main lights and only use the foglights, fully fledged Prats use headlights and fog lights for maximum irritation value. Trying to justify the use of these lights helps to raise your score an extra point. As they serve no useful function to the driver, these are excellent Prat indicators.

Comedy! He left out the use of side lights only with fog lights in full darkness. Next we have:

Centre lane only drivers
CLODS to those in the know. In this particular exercise it is important to remain in the centre lane of the motorway under all circumstances. An extra point is gained by not exceeding 70mph and even on occasions driving slower than this. No-one is able to understand this particular activity and so it has great Prat value. There’s no law against it, the police don’t like it and other drivers don’t like it - this is a good one to prove your point.

Better not put any more. For the others, go check Scraggy’s Guide for yourselves, particularly “Keep Your Place” - pure gold.

This is an absolute must see, two burnouts, you think the first one (Europe) is good, on a busy road with busses going by, but then you see Iraq… awesome!

For fans of either Gervais or Shandling (or both) this is one for you. It has to be one of the cringiest moments I have experienced in my times of being a Gervais fan - and there have been quite a few of those! Here, Gervais meets one of his favourite comedy actors - Gary Shandling and the cringe begins! Shandling seems to take a dig at Gervais at every opportunity he can get. I’m still unsure as to whether it is set up or not, and other comments seem to show that I’m not the only one confused.

This could either be set up, in true Gervais style, to make you feel as uncomfortable as you possibly can. It could be Shandling playing a joke, or it is Shandling being extremely rude. I think it is a joke, but sometimes it seems hard to tell, especially as it has been said on the Independant website: "a spokesman confirms that “there are no plans” for Gervais to return to the interviewer’s seat in the forseeable future". One source claims: "The Shandling experience put him off for good."".

See for yourselves.

Another pointless post (seems to be the theme of this blog) but this guy is absolute quality. A guy who had queued hours to be one of the first to own a Nintendo Wii is interviewed about consoles! Doesn’t sound very interesting does it? Anyways - it’s funny, take a look.

Turns out my Wii won’t be arriving anytime soon so I have chosen to cancel it :( Ah well, least the video’s funny - every cloud.

You may remember a program called Balls of Steel presented by Channel 4’s Mark Dolan. The show involved people coming on to prove why they have balls of steel. This usually involved daring and hilarious acts, but this guy stands out. His name is Neg, and his selling point is his London accent and Cowboy hat, and the fact that he seems to have no fear or shame!

The first video: Urban Sprinting involves taking a tag from a clothes shop which has a security guard stationed at the front of the store, walking out and setting the alarm, then bolting for the nearest burger restaurant.

The second video: Make ‘Em Move involves Neg attempting to make a member of the public move in the shortest time possible. Rules - He cannot touch them, but he can go a little bit mental:

“Hello English friends, what what what!” Take a look at the Best of Borat, particularly the opening scene - “..people call me Steve!!”. The guy is absolutely hilarious, bit of a brave bastard too. He apparently convinced authorities in US and A that he was making a documentary and infuriated a crowd in Salem, Virginia by saying “I hope you kill every man, woman and child in Iraq, down to the lizards…and may George W. Bush drink the blood of every man, woman and child in Iraq”.

He then mangled the words to “The Star-Spangled Banner”. He was taken away under escort for his own safety (apparently). Nutcase!

Where the Hell is Matt?

A guy who went travelling around the world had the fantastic idea of creating a video diary of himself dancing in every country he goes to, then compiling it all into a video montage. Hilarious!

On posting this on youtube, a chewing gum company saw this, and paid the guy to go back around the world doing the same thing!! His site is pretty funny too!

Response to Where the Hell is Matt!

Responses to video’s posted online are usually about as lame as a 20 year old farm horse … this reply however is absolute gold - a must see!

Where the Hell WAS Matt?

And finally - the original video

WARNING

A scam is being pulled, mainly on older men.

What happens is that when you stop for a red light, a young nude woman comes up and pretends to be washing your windshield. While she is doing this, another person opens your back door and steals anything in the car.

They are very good at this: They got me 7 times Friday and 5 times Saturday.

I wasn’t able to find them on Sunday.
