Flight Of The Conchords – I Told You I Was Freaky

Apparently the two dudes from New Zealand ran out of ideas while writing the second season of their show. “I Told You I Was Freaky” culls thirteen songs from that season and while heavily drawing the hip hop and r&b card, it’s good for at least a couple of laughs.

Opener “Hurt Feelings” sounds like something Outkast could’ve released and makes fun of all the tough guy gangsta rappers out there and “Rambling Through The Avenues Of Time” is a solid Dylan pastiche with lines like ‘she reminded me of a winter’s morning – what, frigid?’. But for every spot on song and line there’s a clunker on here as well (the seventies rock of “Demon Woman”, “Petrov, Yelyena And me”) and way too many really lame jokes.

If I want an HBO production to make me laugh, I’ll still pick Entourage or Curb Your Enthusiasm over these guys anytime.
Score: 5.5 out of 10
