The best scene from this episode is in the elevator when the manager tells jemaine go to hotels near the airport and that he read that in a book. Jemaine asks what book and he riffs a sec then says "how to get it done!"
First time I heard this song, I was waiting in line for the school mailroom. Something about "You can put away your tool...Jermaine!" cracked me up so bad I laughed very loud in the line and a bunch of people stared. Worth it.
"Male prostitution seems to be my only option" me today when I got paid and my insurance came out and I had to pay £140 for a new driveshaft leaving me with £0.96 for the next 2 weeks
I love these guys, they are very original and they take on all the different "genres" with such ease, their versatility amayzes me. Also remmember ther "music videos" are an integral part of a chapter in the HBO series. It flows beautifuly, and is funny as hell.
I forgot the name of FOTC for some reason and had this song stuck in my head a couple days ago. It finally came to me and the ear worm is finally gone. It’s been like three days lol
Haha, one of the best episodes to date. Might even be better than the Drive By episode. It's a toss up. Haha "His pants are too tight." "My pants are too tight."
Outstanding talent, consistently funny and inventive year after year. Truly a match made in an alternative (and far more interesting) heaven). Please never stop doing this, you make the world bearable.
Does anyone else think that Brett looks like Hugh Dancy? Now just imagine Brett playing Will Graham in Hannibal. What a series that would have been eh?
I keep marveling at how his jacket flies on in the beginning. I still don't know how the special effects team pulled it off. EDIT: okay, I'm an idiot. They'd just have to split the jacket down the back and attach fishing line or an equivalent wire to the jacket to pull it apart, have some other wires or lines to take the guitar off him, and then film everything in reverse. All that would be in the balance would be the actor's skills.
I'm guessing they could've played it backwards, like if Bret acted that scene backwards then they just rewind it. Bot sure if that makes sense but yeah.
Did you hear they might make a FOTC movie? This show and CDs are just great, just absolutely great. My brothers and I watch an episode or listen to a song like every day because it just makes us laugh. You watch or listen to FOTC after a bad day at work and it just makes you feel all good and happy. 2 hot dudes, great music that can stand on its own. The more the better, movies, season 3, bring it on. I will be first in line along with my brothers, mom and friends who all love it!
I've heard so much criticism about the songs from the new season - about how they were churned out too quickly - but I don't understand the criticism at all. These songs are soooo good! Granted, I don't love every song, but this, angels, sugalumps, hurt feelings....classics
I'm still not over how I met two girls who said they were in the prostitute scene of an hbo about two weird english men. Me: "you were in Flight of the Conchords! lucky."
they are the best comedians ever!!:))) i've just find out about this tv show and this band about one year ago, and they one of the most talented comedians!!!and this tv show is amazing!! I'll definetly see all parts from seasion 2!!!
The casting of the lady johns (janes?) is perfect, middle-aged, frumpy, slightly bewildered to find themselves doing what they're doing. Like all the seasons' sequences, the production details are totally thought out.
My friend and I are putting together a FotC cover band. We are calling ourselves Fat of the Conchords. We have memorized every song....we just need to learn to play instruments
The Police totally ripped this off with Roxanne
Adam A Mandelbrot 😅
It's originally a puff daddy song.
Walking On The Moon also was jacked, but who can complain about a great comedy that incorporated music into Flight Of The Concords.
hahaha
A lot of their songs are parodies of other famous artists, it's part of the humour
"Male prostitution seems to be my only option" - so so so funny
We’ve all been there..
One of the best and most meaningful songs ever. Truly inspiring. I gave up prostitution because of this.
I became a prostitute because of this song.
Yes, we hear you Clem Fandango
pants were too tight.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
The right thing... Unless you want to be a concert flautist
"you have a roommate Jermaine, don't bring them home!"
Was just about to quote the same line. So good.
*Jemaine. I was more than halfway through the show when I realized there's no "r"
Can we acknowledge Jemaine's hilariously bad attempt at a "sexy" outfit?
What-If Machine Yes... Very "Midnight Cowboy."
His pants are too tight
I know!
What you talking about I'm aroused
bad?
Do you have any other skills? Like...Typing? God this is hilarious...
There's no rock bottom statement that's as depressing and funny at the same time as "male prostitution seems to be my only option."
Funny when you remember that Jemaine had to do this after buying an extra cup to have coffee with Bret
Actually it was Bret who bought the extra cup.
And it was for tea!
Love & Light from Miami Shores🦚
Stay safe mates🌎🙏🏼
And it’s great that ‘Brit’ has an Oscar!
I think they can afford that $2.79 now😂
The way they use influences from other bands in their songs is just genius. Loving the homage to The Police's Roxanne.
maybe im a genius but as a musician i thought it was the obvious thing to do
Am I the only one impressed by Jermaine's pole dancing skills?
Paula Tran Not at all.
The chewing gum is a nice touch.
hang drum
absolutely not :D
sensationally, er, different
oh no, his pants are too tight
My pants are too tight!
The skills line gets me every time. Comedy genius.
This is literally my favourite reggae song
Dude preach
That's really sad :(
Flight of the Conchords do the best parodies. They don't just resort to changing the lyrics, they make a whole new song and make it awesome.
I love the fact that Eugene Mirman plays their landlord in this series. xD
"Do you have any other skills? Like typing?" I sing this part when I'm job-hunting.
lmao!!!! how'd it go? XD :D lol
Right?? I wanna know!
If they had tried to be a conventional band I think they would have been huge. Immense talent and feel for a good beat, tune, and melody.
I mean with a manager like Murray? 😆
Just like Bad Lip Reading.
Well Brett had a band called the Black Seeds which had a song in Breaking Bad.
@@batmanforawhile oh thats fun info. Thanks!
And sacrifice magic for fame?
Jermaine appearing at the window and dancing with no expression at all at 0:54 gets me every time.
That's because the vid is at 240p. You just can't see his expression.
Nah, Eugene on the steel drums has to be the crowning moment in this vid I think aha
idk that cut to the steeldrums just really cracked me up :D
Holy shit by that point I just lost it seeing the landlord randomly kicking in with the steel drums! literally laughing tears!
The best scene from this episode is in the elevator when the manager tells jemaine go to hotels near the airport and that he read that in a book. Jemaine asks what book and he riffs a sec then says "how to get it done!"
@@redseaford9426 "Just a regular, normal book."
First time I heard this song, I was waiting in line for the school mailroom. Something about "You can put away your tool...Jermaine!" cracked me up so bad I laughed very loud in the line and a bunch of people stared. Worth it.
You can put away your tool....jermaine.
This song slightly lessened my hatred of the steel drums.
"Male prostitution seems to be my only option" me today when I got paid and my insurance came out and I had to pay £140 for a new driveshaft leaving me with £0.96 for the next 2 weeks
I'll lend you money, competitive % rate
Relatable
Hey guys no need to comment, David died 8 days before getting paid.
@@psplayer1344 Good riddance.
Driveshaft, is that like the Craig's list ads offering "wood for sale, delivered"? :D
I fell in love with the flight of the concords like 12 years ago addicted to the show now I'm constantly watching them on UA-cam it's great
the part with jemaine in the peep show had me in stitches. this is the best song of the new season imo. Sugar Lumps is pretty damn good too.
This song is actually pretty good
steve jobs I suppose you know.... It is a Sting rip off, right down to the Jamaican drums.
I love these guys, they are very original and they take on all the different "genres" with such ease, their versatility amayzes me. Also remmember ther "music videos" are an integral part of a chapter in the HBO series. It flows beautifuly, and is funny as hell.
Underrated moment at 0:08 when Bret's jacket magically puts itself on
The steel drum bit kills me everytime
"Do you have any other skills? Like typing?"
I don't think there's any other show that I enjoyed as much as this. It was so good. I'm so excited for their tour this year, though.
who wouldn't hire Jemaine!?
I forgot the name of FOTC for some reason and had this song stuck in my head a couple days ago. It finally came to me and the ear worm is finally gone. It’s been like three days lol
It is not degrading. It is NOT degrading.
Male prostitution seems to be my only option.
No no no
Say no to be Man ho..
Tyler Christiansen Love how he says that best line
Haha, one of the best episodes to date.
Might even be better than the Drive By episode. It's a toss up.
Haha "His pants are too tight."
"My pants are too tight."
Great parody of Roxanne xD
"You have a roommate..don't bring them home (Jermaine)..lol
they have such a talent for making ridiculous songs really good... the line "male prostitution seems to be my only option" is so catchy lol
i've had this song stuck in my head for about three days now.
You have a roommate, Jemaine, don't bring them home.
It’s honestly sad they only made two seasons of their HBO show
Outstanding talent, consistently funny and inventive year after year. Truly a match made in an alternative (and far more interesting) heaven). Please never stop doing this, you make the world bearable.
Playing the steel drums is exactly the type of thing you'd expect Gene Belcher to do.
One of my favourite songs of all time
Does anyone else think that Brett looks like Hugh Dancy? Now just imagine Brett playing Will Graham in Hannibal. What a series that would have been eh?
Right? Haha.
My wife and I have always thought this! Haha
definitely up there among their best
digging that chorus, great parodies but also great music on its own
probably my favorite FOTC song
It's so good, even after the 30th time!
I keep marveling at how his jacket flies on in the beginning. I still don't know how the special effects team pulled it off.
EDIT: okay, I'm an idiot.

+Samani Jr Tu'angalu yeah man that's a good guess, I've seen that done b4
way better than lonely island
Spencer G I think they are both awesome, lonely island aren't trying to be FOC they both have their own style and talent
you know about a month ago i wouldve argued with you but god damn they are so funny, i still love the lonely island too tho, they are also hilarious
dude your comparing two really good parody/comedian groups shut up really
Devron Sijmons dude, I mean dude. Like dude. Take it easy dude. Seriously?
did FOC do any new songs in the last years? it seems everything i can find is pretty dated
Haha, I don't know why, but every time I see Jermaine at the red window just staring, it cracks me up big time !
I just found out that Sia does the backing vocals in this song and in Carol Brown. So crazy.
P.D: I love the music of this song.
lmao, i love how hes counting out change for his pimp XD
they are both amazing musicians
1:14 with the background singers is a whole vibe
This was a good episode, weird though that they couldn't get a better song in the premiere. Both this and sugar lumps were amazing
probably one of my favorite FotC songs... i just wish it had more steel drums in it
hahaha this song is hilarious! My favorite line is, "You can say no to being night-looker, boy-hooker, rent boy, bro-ho"
You know, I called him "Jermaine" for a long time. It's actually "Jemaine." It's even spelled that way in the credits! I fail at reading, apparently.
Did you hear they might make a FOTC movie? This show and CDs are just great, just absolutely great. My brothers and I watch an episode or listen to a song like every day because it just makes us laugh.

I take it this is riffing on Roxanne?
TheSpacecraftX Yep, at least I think so.
its literally roxanne lmao
TheSpacecraftX You take it *right,* my man-ho!
No flies on you, eh?
@@LeshaAnn I thought they sang: man-hole. What does this say about me...? :-0
god i love these dudes
straight up legendary show
Oh noo his pants are too tight....
I've heard so much criticism about the songs from the new season - about how they were churned out too quickly - but I don't understand the criticism at all. These songs are soooo good! Granted, I don't love every song, but this, angels, sugalumps, hurt feelings....classics
Love these guys!
I'm just glad the Flight of the Concords is returning this Fall in 2018 on HBO.
typing saved me from the streets
I love how I am getting this on a whole other leve. Put this moment here.!!!!~! Global allu scaled social work?
This song is genius...
"Do you have any other skills..... like typing?"
That got me good, lolz.
1:12 when Jermaine starts dancing back and forth, i laugh waaay harder than i should
I wish Eugene had more screen time. He's such an underrated character. Him on the steel drums at the end just kills me.
I much prefer this version of Ed Sheeran's "the A team"
Lol
These guys are really fantastic song writers.
I'm still not over how I met two girls who said they were in the prostitute scene of an hbo about two weird english men. Me: "you were in Flight of the Conchords! lucky."
Can't wait to see them in 2018! Can't believe it's been 8 years since they were last in the UK. Time sure flies.
you have a roommate jemaine, dont bring them home! XD
Every once in a great moon a song comes along that can change someones life forever... I just wish it came along a few moons earlier..
Our kiwi boys✌✌✌🤣🤣🤘🤘🤘🤘
This song is a masterpiece, still amazing 15 years later
It's very awkward when this song gets stuck in my head and I must sing this song aloud... especially when parents are around.
they are the best comedians ever!!:))) i've just find out about this tv show and this band about one year ago, and they one of the most talented comedians!!!and this tv show is amazing!! I'll definetly see all parts from seasion 2!!!
i actually like the song 😂
This is my favorite Flight of the Conchords song.
When the Inflation hits hard: "Male prostitution seems to be my only option!"
highlight of season 2. hurt feelings and sugalumps close
this is a great song and i love how jamane is the male gigolo
No puede ser mejor. Vuelvan por favor. Netflix donde estás lpqtp???
woah! I had my eyes on those sugar lumps bro!
The casting of the lady johns (janes?) is perfect, middle-aged, frumpy, slightly bewildered to find themselves doing what they're doing. Like all the seasons' sequences, the production details are totally thought out.
Just realized this is parody of Roxanne by The Police...
My favorite episode,.also does anyone know the chords for this?
do you have any other skills?- like typing :)))))))))))))
Miss Surmava, where are you from?
@Steve Christie simp
this episode kicked ass.
This + sugar lumps. well done FOTC, well done.
1:04 bret looks like hes trying so hard not to laugh
My friend and I are putting together a FotC cover band. We are calling ourselves Fat of the Conchords. We have memorized every song....we just need to learn to play instruments
Taika Waititi directed this.
@Amidala64 yes- they parody several artists and songs throughout the two series
This sounds like a classic very good The Police song.
My Spotify playlist played Roxanne and then this by chance, made me realize :D
+woochikaboo Whoa! That's a pretty crazy chance!
+woochikaboo I love your picture by the way it's the cutest dog ever. Is it yours?
no
+woochikaboo tis a shame.
