Flight of the Conchords Ep 6 Bowie's In Space

[cartopcobra468]

THIS WAS A MISTAKE TO WATCH THIS SORRY BUT THIS IS TERRIBLE

[goldenstalionMCOM]

@cartopcobra468

You're like eight years old. You don't understand this because you probably don't know who David Bowie is... Don't be disrespectful, kid.

[jeezybaby43]

congrats to Bret on his Oscar!

[padrebill]

@jeezybaby43 Oscar? 

[BlueOnionGroup]

what songs is song based on???

[stolencheezburger]

Receiving transmission from David Bowie nipple antennae!

[MissDach]

I prefer the live versions

[trusthannarie]

I love Bret's face when he says "astroturf" lololol

[FrazzyNZ]

Jemaine does an awesome David bowie inpersonation

[LOV3TANK]

So you showed ur penis to the man from the greeting card company?

You told me to do that

I meant like wear make-up or something

I was wearing make-up. I had lightnin bolts on my wanger

On ur face Bret. On ur face.

[hczxp91]

Fair play to them. Great parody.

[ziggiette]

Do you want to borrow my jumper, Bowie? jajajja genial!

[talkkiwitome]

Best episode of this show ever, and a fantastic homage to an epically awesome rock god.

[thevoid99]

happy 65th b-day bowie... hope you enjoy your b-day w/ iggy pop and lou reed.

[thorleyc2]

happy birthday bowie

[Gem2x87]

as if people seriously think this is meant to be an insult to the great Bowie

[rupertrupert1231]

do you want to borrow my jumper Bowie?

[julieknous]

Love it

[Tilbs254]

Im so jelous i didnt write this :( itsoo good

[xtremeskilzfrombirth]

wtf omfg this song is perfect

[xROUTSWOMANx]

There's a snake on my ceiling playing the sitar and my pineapple said i need the cheese grater so i had to spray paint my vegetables.

[plasticflowerz]

The line "bet you do you freaky old bastard you!" makes me crease up every time.

[gypssyychild31]

bret kinda looks like chris cornell

[gypssyychild31]

yes i do use my pointy niples as telescopic entenai to transmit data back to earth

[RosaFelton]

I love this song lol

[DougRattmann]

It's a shame there will be no more episodes.

It was such a good series.

[megaminimoe1]

Fantastic band, endlessly catchy tunes! This video really reminds me of "Ocean of Lotion - Living in the Gym" another awesome band leaving planet earth!

[FanIjaThun]

@megaminimoe1 Yeah, that video is out on youtube now

[TheDifferentPeople11]

who else realised he said lsd instead of led

[Epic501]

@TheDifferentPeople11 Most people

[gjc82071]

Hey Bowie. Do you have 1 really funky sequenced space-suit, or do you have several "ch changes"? LOL!!!!!!! Do you smoke grass out in space, or do they smoke "astro-turf"? LOL!!! Picking it up on my "LSD" (LCD) screen! HAHA! My God! Who comes up with this shit? So funny! I used to watch these guys regularly, until I canceled HBO.

[Retz1e]

I love Jermaine's face at 2:03 lol

[ashleigj]

Ah Man I love this song. that's pretty freaky bowie! :)

[bgw316]

Need to look for Mr500characters comment?

Don't

All you need to know is he's a dick

[pigpig252]

what the hell did i just watch...?

[Epic501]

@pigpig252 Pure talent.

[moxie96]

Uh oh Jermaine, Think I see "everything" in that suit...I didn't want to know you that well.

[The1996Pieman]

Thumbs up for another series. :)

[meowandmeow]

this is fantastic.

[turner475]

Ha Ha

[thatcaffienatedspaz]

What if bowie covered this song at a concert? We can go deeper.

[heeeeyayaaa]

couldn't read some certain comments. too many negative votes... does this suggest something?...

i enjoy flight of the conchords and if you dont then fine. but no need to be such a dick about it.

[ScarletMai]

yeah, Im picking it up on my LSD screen....

WIN

[Jimbob900]

Bowie, you freaky old bastard

[manning89]

196 people weren't invited to david bowies party in space!!!

[confidential007]

@manning89 It's because they complaining about being 20 minutes late maybe?

[Wailmug]

BOWIIEE?

[Irishpat666]

If you think this is offensive remember no one is forcing you to watch it although im with Darringm if I were David Bowie I would just find this hilarious and be honored

[0000AllFitness0000]

isn't it cold out in space, bowie? D:

[TheVixensMusic]

That's pretty freaky, Bowie

[wantsomecake328]

"how far out are you, man?"

"I'm pretty far out."

"That's pretty far out, man!"

[wadew68]

Brilliant! ;)

[MaTtRoSiTy]

Man, now I just have to go and watch this series again :)

[elson12341]

the magnified faces in the space helmets are epic.

[salohcin66]

'Do they smoke grass in space Bowie? Or do do they smoke astro turf?' :D

[richmarley]

Matt Losardo is a bow face.

[uglykal]

this bowie song sounds more like a bowie song than a bowie song! Amazing impressions, the sound is just right and its f***ing funny to boot. Really hope Bowie saw it and laughed :)

[JotunnTheImp]

Its a shame they didnt use the lets dance part

[BobBX542]

Jermaine does the best Bowie impression.

[6991molly]

i love how you can totaly see his package lmao!!! haha i love them

[mousegeek]

That should read 'Bowies in Space'. You have the singular possessive!

[Bobaganush26]

@mousegeek lol

[mousegeek]

@Bobaganush26

I suppose it could be 'Bowie's' [Bowie IS in Space]. But I thought the 'Bowie back to Bowie' means there is more than one Bowie :)

[TheSkifflebunch]

@mousegeek I think he has the conjunctive

[L60N]

Receiving transmission from Bowie's nipple antenae. ROFL!

[jpheitman]

I can think of nothing better to call a "Space Oddity."

[kevlonk]

Britt = singing like Ziggy Stardust era Bowie, Jemaine = singing like Berlin/Let's Dance era Bowie?

[xOldSkoolHollywooDx]

your signal's weak on my radar screen

how far out are you man?

i'm pretty far out

that's pretty far out man!

best lines in the song

[Sartious]

check our band out!

[slootherfj]

Something about the fact that Bowie's son directed Moon makes this even better

[ivankaramasov]

I love the first season of Flight of the Conchords, but this is not that funny, mainly because it doesn't sound very much like Bowie.

[ivansmellsfunny]

the song stops being good at 1:22 :(

[IndigoOfficialBand]

They must be smoking some astroturf.

[UNCIVILISEDBASTARDS]

ClassiC!

[Mr500characters]

Someone tells me that if I knew what true humor was, I'd be laughing me head off. But it's so far out of my reach, that I just can't grasp that there is no malicious intent here. This is so goddam funny, I just can't stand it!

[Hanzo087]

@Mr500characters I saw something about mangos, Are you sleeping with the mangos? Is that why you dont like them?

[Mr500characters]

@TboneWillsone You got me pal. I concede. You know much more than me. What a relief that we can rest in your brilliance. I give up. Take the stage. I turn in the towel. You can explain everything so well, there is no need for my meager comments. All these years and now I can relax knowing that I've been so wrong and that greater knowledge is prevailing. I wonder what it's like to have insignificant dimensions in character. Explains why some characters seem so, well, insignificant! All clear now.

[Mr500characters]

No worrys. You won't be seeing ME (how'sTHAT for emphasis) in here again. But deep down, you KNOW I'm right. This really is a CRIMINAL atrocity. No use in trying to contact me. I'm going into retirement (hold my calls). I'll run screaming now, from this netherworld. If this keeps people off the streets, what the hell.

[TboneWillsone]

@Mr500characters And in conclusion I've just had a look at your channel, and I've realised that the only reason why you find this so unfunny is because of your deranged view of Bowie, and the incredibly serious light in which you view his art/music. I agree he is an incredible artist, his music is profound and that he rocks. However, You need to understand that Bowie isn't some god-like figure, he is a man like you or I. Noone is above mimicry, or humour. Learn to accept this, and enjoy life.

[Tilbs254]

@Mr500characters I dont know why youve got all protective over bowie, i would feel privalidged if flight of the conchords sung about my pointy nipples :D , i think your either like mel is to the conchords except towards bowie or your just one of those people who find everything either offensive, racist or something stupid like tht which doesnt actually involve anything of the such and are often the people who are usually quite socially awkward... and i hate those guys, no offense intended xD

[Mr500characters]

Let's all have misguided fun at Bowie's expense. He's in the public eye so he's got it coming to him, right? Fuck 'im if he can't take a joke! That's it! Fuck the freaky old bastard! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha huh?

[MixiAiko]

@Mr500characters He can be hardly said to be in the public eye anymore.

[Thedeadhenrys]

@Mr500characters Bowie likes this song- he said so.

[Mr500characters]

Don't you think I precalculated provoking a lot of flack by saying what I think of this? Maybe I really like this and am just jerking you off. Maybe that's what you need: to self-examine how deserving is your loyalty to this work despite someone else's comments. Getting pissed-off can be healthy. I can only provoke a reaction. You have to live with your choices, defend your decisions to yourself and then find out if there are truths beyond what you think you already know. This is just me typing.

[Mr500characters]

So if I agree with you that this is really a great, funny offering, then I'm ok. But if I honestly don't like this, I must have delusions of grandeur because you are the ultimate critic. Doesn't that make you the one with delusions? Depends on your point of view, doesn't it? Maybe I'll stick to honesty and let history judge the merits of your idol. I HAVE found one value in here: It's a ghastly knowing that this is what it must be like to be in hell. So this is what lost souls find entertaining?

[TboneWillsone]

@Mr500characters No, the reason why I have turned on you is because you have responded to positive critism of this video with massive amounts of vitriol and anger. You were the antagonist and instigator in this situation, and you still cling to your aggressive and malicious opinions of anyone associated with this. THAT is why you have delusions of grandeur, just because of an insignificant dimension of our character and opinion, just because we enjoy this video we must all be morons.

[Mr500characters]

I tried to like this. But it's just so wrong! "Delusions of grandeur" won't allow me to see how brilliant this must be. Tsk tsk tsk. Just a loss for me right? Because this is simplistic, insulting, and "Bowie's In Hell" when viewed. I don't like mangos either. I like almost every other food, but mangos don't taste like food to me. They are like bad medicine. To others they are a wonderful fruit. Don't let me rain on your fun. Some good friends shout: "Let me out!" Can I please get a thumbs down?

[Mr500characters]

@TboneWillsone You're right. What was I thinking? I certainly know when I've met more than my match. Yes. This IS pure genius. I'm such a fool for not recognizing the value to humanity and the ultimate tribute this is. What talent! How could I have missed this. No, really, I admit I was wrong. This is so funny, I had no sense of humor. You sueded me to your side. I must like this because it's so popular. What an arrogant fool I've been. I've seen the light. It's just so brilliant I cannot go on.

[leftwingextremist]

@Freedomloveandtruth Are you transmitting that with your antenna nipples?

[adamkatt]

live is much better..

[06kellyjac]

@adamkatt I was just about to post that before i saw you had :)

[favoritefella]

so soooooooooooooooooooo good. Amazing tribute

[Danprest09]

Don't feed the trolls.

[Badg3r001]

"How far out are you man?"

"I'm pretty far out."

"That's pretty far out man."

lol

[franzchick66]

love this song!

[Mr500characters]

By the way, Bowie wouldn't have liked this either BECAUSE he has a sense of humor. And that just can't be found here. I'm sorry.

[Spitfirebird]

@Mr500characters Grow up.

[Ficzzho]

@Mr500characters In a sentence like that you should, in usual circumstances, capitalise HAS for the wanted effect. Just a useful tip for the future.

[Hanzo087]

@Mr500characters You need to get laid dude

[Mr500characters]

Very rarely have I ever made any negative comment on anything. I stumbled in here by bad luck and was so revolted by these hacks who aren't qualified to even know one iota about Bowie beyond this lowbrow opinion approach it is trying to appeal to. I now know what hell is like after visiting here. Reminds me of Disney's The Black Hole where the evil captain was trapped inside a more evil robot forever. Let me get the hell out of here and don't ever summon me again and we won't have any situation.

[Snowbilby]

@Mr500characters Wow. That comment was something I haven't seen in quite a while. Despite it's length it didn't actually bring forth any real arguments or say anything. You don't draw a single piece of evidence to support your claim at all. I think you see your opinon as some kind of intellectual masterpiece, when really it's just empty words. I can't speak to your character directly (that would be childish) but I do think you need to slow down, draw evidence and then consider if it is worth it

[keithedwards100]

@Mr500characters And the award for an overreaction to a light hearted comedy song goes to.... YOU!

[favoritefella]

@Mr500characters you're an idiot

[hoeraufist]

@Mr500characters You just don't know how to have fun.

[Mr500characters]

@TboneWillsone Let us both be satisfied with our opinions. I don't see this as light-hearted fun at all. You need to get over me yourself. I know I'm right about this. So don't worry about it if you're so sure of YOURSELF. I found this on a misbegotten thread. Please don't let me visit this insult again. If this is where you like to spend time, have at it. I hope you get more out of it than I did since you're wasting your life with this crap passing itself off as comedy. Go on satisfy yourself.

[TboneWillsone]

@Mr500characters Haha, just had a look back at this video to see if you replied. And to my joy, you had! I think it is fairly obvious that you have delusions of grandeur concerning yourself. It is evident that you go through life looking down on everybody you meet. I also expect that you don't understand any comedy based on satire or mimicry. Although you consider that this somehow makes you smarter than all of us, the irony is that it seems you have misunderstood the most basic form of comedy.

[WhisperThorn]

@Mr500characters I feel out of the loop responding to a 4 month old comment, but the idea of possibly dragging your miserable existence back once more fills me with unimaginably sadistic delight. You see, I truly hate entitled children who pretend to be some sort of intellectual expert on trivial things and then complain over equally trivial matters. The fact that you bothered to comment that way in the first place proves what you really are, which is a sad little fuck with no personality.

[d0m22]

345 people offered their jumpers to bowie.

[BottledWaterr]

Bowie's the best at space.

[Mr500characters]

@clamstorm Wholeheartedly agree: Words cannot express how much I enjoy this. Nothing can adequately express how I feel about this piece of shit. The words hatred and disgust come to mind, but don't do it full justice. Don't guess we'll be agreeing on anything else, eh? But to be fair, the set work was ok. The jokes and performances were pure lame. More hits than Ashes to Ashes. But so what? Lady Gaga will join these gentlemen in the pool for most undeserving video attention given by non-artists.

[TboneWillsone]

@Mr500characters What the the hell are you talking about? Are you being serious!? Firstly Flight of the Conchords are fantastic musicians who I would rate far beyond Lady Gaga, and secondly this performance is done entirely light-heartedly with no spite or malicious mocking of Bowie. They are doing a silly performance with silly impressions, and displaying the ability to see the humour in Bowie AND themselves. You need to get over yourself, and get a sense of humour. I bet Bowie found it funny.

[lowblowattack]

@Mr500characters Ever heard of the word Pastiche? Or Homage? Has it occurred to you that this video could be one of these things? And even if its not and its actually taking a dig a Bowie then try to have some sense of humour...

[Mr500characters]

Austin Powers had more sincerity in spoofing Matt Helm. This is shallow, pretentious, and frankly insulting to Bowie and anyone who cares about his artistry. Bottom of the barrel. Too bad. A missed opportunity to be clever. What shallow tripe! Bowie deserves better than this. Popular I guess. But then, the masses are asses. Now let me tell you what I really think: this, such a waste of time, because those who like it will continue to do so and think it's so godawfully funny, no matter the truth.

[cantytoofly]

Jermain's impression is SO much better!

The other geezer should have just not bothered.

[moodini99]

Neither sound anything like Bowie, but they're not really supposed to. It's still fantastic. FOTC are much better than Bowie, anyway. Bowie's just some shitty pop-act; FOTC are original and brilliant!

[thedarthmonkeyman]

@moodini99

I know this is an old comment but... What!? Listen to the albums Hunky Dory, Station to Station, Low and Ziggy Stardust. They're so good, man! Give him a chance.

[thedarthmonkeyman]

@cantytoofly The other fellow is bret, and I thought the exact opposite :)

[Distortion0]

This is one of the greatest homages of all time.

[clamstorm]

Words cannot express how much I enjoy this.

[sarcasm2k]

Their live performances are so much better :)

[Jadethedead]

I love this =)

[Xy1O1]

I'm pretty far out XD

[TrisSings]

I love how awesome their impressions are xD

[kontroledkos]

would you like some of these mushrooms....Bowie..?

[dhanihughes]

I would like, genuinely, to think these guys are funny- I just don't. Mostly, I just think they're just boring. I'm going to go watch the Mighty Boosh now.

[CassiusFA]

@dhanihughes It's called subtlety. I suppose you don't have the attention span for it I suppose, fan of both the boosh and FOTC but the boosh is easier to watch.

[dhanihughes]

@CassiusFA What were we talking about?

[ClareClareClarey]

LMFAO

[GeneralRob48]

i won this dvd on a subway giveaway

[thefireworksmouse]

187 people are from australia

[jojo263]

Oh god, if I would've watched this show I could've known about Bowie sooner. I FEEL SO BAD FOR NEVER WATCHING THIS SHOW D;

[MrWhathapens]

SPAAAAAAAACE!!!!

[Paincakeness]

ALL MY QUESTIONS IN LIFE HAVE JUST BEEN AWSERED o.O

[tanpiltanpil]

Want to see something really strange? Then check out the original clip where they are wearing space suits and playing the keyboards. Space-Magic Fly

[far553]

187 people didn't use their nipple antennae to transmit data back to earth.

[honorkendall]

their live one is so much better!

[rvdxtreme1]

at 1:45 the normal bret was about to say "im pretty far out man"

[MyDarkHeart]

Ch-ch-chaanggesss

[spman2099]

Every Bowie fan should love this song. This is pretty much the greatest tribute to Bowie... EVER!

[QueenMegaera]

@spman2099 Agreed!

[BabiiaaTondaaj432]

luv, Im a young girl with the most incredible smile

[xwagner76]

Talk about a profound lack of talent plus disrespect for David Bowie. Thumbs down. Not amused. Not impressed. Not entertained.

[darringm]

@xwagner76 a profound lack of talent? a disrespect for david bowie? i hope you're joking. this song is a humorous tribute to bowie and his eccentricities. they tap into his different styles and parody each one so well. i can't think of a better display of humorous musical talent.

[xwagner76]

Talk about a profound lack of talent plus disrespect for David Bowie. Thumbs down. Not amused. Not impressed. Not entertained.

[DCTriv]

@xwagner76 I'm afraid your man Bowie loves this song. Go and f*ck yourself, there's a good chap.

[far553]

I can't go more than an hour watching these. I have to be 2 million of these views, hands down.

[AokKoga]

I think I must be about 100,000 of these views by now.

[Rottenriguez]

185 people didn't appreciate his jumper.

[VonBimoburg]

It's uncanny how good their Bowie impressions are

[Totema1]

They got more members of whatever species Daft Punk is to do this video!

[rakuencallisto]

I just got an advertisement on this video for "Bowie, MA" because i'm from MA.

Fucking radical.

[LLG47]

I'm picking it up, on my LSD screen haha

[lilgrizzle]

THAT WAS THE EQUIVALENT OF GOING UP TO SPACE AND FINDING A CITY OF DAVID BOWIES EFFEN AMAZING

[THExViCExSHOW]

has anyone seen Jermain on gentlemen broncos.. its a movie by the people who brought you napolean dynamite.. its so epic.. he plays a croc of shit author.

[yourpalal2]

@THExViCExSHOW Gentlemen Broncos is a terrible, terrible movie. I felt sorry for Jemaine while I watched it.

[Th3Dudei7]

"Do you use your pointy nipples as telescopic antennae to transmit data back to

Earth?

Bet you do, you freaky old bastard you." This bit just cracks me up every time.

[thedt]

The Mick Jaggernauts! Hahahaha!

[Glorfendal]

183 people couldn't hear bowie from his nipple antenna's

[poopan2]

everyone post a comment of dislike just to piss off EW8S93

[EW8S93]

Everytime I see all the stupid comments about the dislikes I automatically click dislike. Even if I like the video. Come up with something better
