Since you’re probably a postmodern hipster, it’s highly likely you love yourself some Flight of the Conchords.
Well, that’s cool, we do too.
To promote Season 2 of the show, HBO partnered with Deep Focus to launch the Flight of the Conchords Lip Dub Video Fansterpiece. It’s about as grand as it sounds, and one-time creators of fan fiction will probably relish the opportunity to reinterpret FotC’s “Hiphopopotamus vs. Rhymenoceros” with their own wincey music videos.
And they are admirably wincey. (Okay, maybe not as much as that one time Jemaine dressed up like Labyrinth Bowie and appeared to Bret in his dreams.) Fan or not, feel free to relish in this most awkward pool of self-conscious exhibitionism.
According to Deep Focus, Facebook outreach generated about 470 comments and about 5400 “likes.” The two top videos were edited into a single mumbo-jumbo one and incorporated into a Flight of the Conchords ep — and yeah, that’s on cable TV, man.
