Yes! See, when Figwit was huge, Flight of the Conchords were already known in Australia. Not well known, but you know, they existed. And I thought that was funny.

Now they're huge and haha, he's still Figwit.

I think Channel 10 has ruined the show. I can't watch it on TV, I'm gonna have to wait til it comes out on DVD. ABC or the SBS should've gotten it. Fucking commercials!!!!!

I haven't seen anyone mention FIGWIT for years. Making me seriously nostalgic.

My favourite thing to do in RotK (besides imitating Bernard Hill in the cast commentary when the oliphaunts appear on the Pellanor: "What the ef are those?") is to wait until Arwen is all daydreamy about her kid with Aragorn, and then, when Bret turns up to tell her they cannot tary, shout, "BRET YOU GOT IT GOIN' ON!"

Sometimes I vary it with, "This is Bowie to Bowie, can you hear me out there, man?"

BRILLIANCE.

I know, I still can't believe it either. And you know I was a fan too. Crap, I had a FIGWIT icon.

HOLY SHIT I DID NOT KNOW THAT!!!!!! WHAT THE FUCK!!!!!!!!!! OK OK that's awesome.

Flight of the Conchords works really because it's like the Mighty Boosh but more balanced. Mighty Boosh everyone just loves Vince because he gets all the best lines, is the cool one and is...Noel Fielding...saucy. Whereas with FotC, Jemaine gets the best lines but Bret is the better looking see and so i don't have a favourite Conchord. Murray probably pwns them both..."where are you off to?...dick meeting?"
