I laughed very hard at this 15 years ago and I still do. Either I have not developed much from early adulthood or this is just generally funny. I think this and most other of their songs from this era are very funny and well put together.
Everyone's talking about the mumbling, but the part that always gets me is "Could somebody please remove these cutleries from my knees?" Jemaine's comedic timing is perfect
I've heard the "final"/"album" version of this so many times, it's wild to hear how much they play around with the song here! Jemaine even comes in at the "wrong" place at 4:00, but he just resets in the next measure and they roll with it so well. They must just riff and riff and riff.
If there was one video I could choose to make the entire internet watch, I guess it would be this one simply based on the number of times I've watched it.
Funnily enough, this is probably the most well-known version. This means it's basically the quintessential version for most people, and they see the others as weird.
They change little things in many songs in their live performances, it gives the audience ( who often know the songs well) little things to look forward to or whatever :P
Any of these songs that got on the show do seem weird compared to here. When this premiered I almost turned it off thinking they were gonna be a hack musical act. So glad I didn't,it was one of the greatest things I've ever seen and 2 years later they got their own show. I wish there would've been at least one more season
Best duo of entertainerers I've ever seen. These guys have lots of talent and humor as well. Wish some day I could see them live. Do they even tour or make these funny yet nice songs now?
For anyone looking for this answer today, this show was part of HBO's series, "One Night Stand", and is currently available on Amazon Prime Video: www.amazon.com/One-NIght-Stand-59-Conchords/dp/B00KG2SMYI
I've always wanted to cover one of their songs...but it's impossible. they put so much of themselves into them. Anything wouldn't come off half as good.
Z Mac don't know how Z Mac got there...phones...shoot, electronic machines...anyway _forgot what I was gonna say, damn oh yeah, these guys are sooooo great, they seem like friends from high School. that's bit!!
Heard about monkey pox on the news and instantly thought of Jemaine singing “Who’s touching these monkeys?”
leave these poor sick monkeys alone
They got enough problems as it is
After all the covid hassle, monkey pox just made me think: "aaah, fun monkey disease."
They raise a really important question about shoe prices.
Also inappropriate monkey-touching.
@@drewfla
Jeg
It’s an issue
Yes, what are their overheads??
the absolute masters of deadpan
Try Jack Dee
Steven Wright.
Ophelia Beckham they are among the greats of that style, for that also really recommend James Acaster.
May i add Leslie Nielsen to the list ?
@@ethrez I love Jack Dee but he's not as good as these two.
"The kids take after her in that sense." I'm dead.
Their humor is so unique
welcome to new zealand
No need for a welcome as I am from New Zealand :) Haha
*****
Because our native animal is a Kiwi (a type of bird, search it up), hence the reason for our iconic nick name.
***** Name had most likely developed because it was widely used as the insignia by the NZ regiments in WW1.
+Bobby Jones Kiwis are a real cool looking bird and a great fruit XD
"What're your overheads?"
Slain. The number of killer lines in this song is unreal.
this is the only line idont get from the song, can you explain it to me?
@@VonRibbitt overheads refers to costs outside of direct costs of producing a good, he's asking why sneakers aren't cheaper since the labour cost for them is so low (what are the overheads that leads to them being so expensive)
Most sneakers are made in China by child slave labor. There, I said it.
"we're talking about the issues but we're keeping it funky"
Goddammn i love these guys so much
+Greasy McNasty Just bought tickets to see them on SummerStage in Central Park in July....can't wait!!!!
+Greasy McNasty Ugh. They're playing here in Vancouver in June and I can't get tickets for the wife and I.
+Greasy McNasty BTW my wife is imaginary
"what's wrong with the world today *mumble* *mumble* *mumble*"
I fucking LOST IT! thanks Danny Sexbang!
Correct me if i'm wrong, but I think you're on the wrong channel.
+Ludo Pseudonym pretty sure he thanked Danny for introducing him to FotC since NSP gets a ton of its inspiration from this band.
Oh, okay. Thanks for telling me
did he mention FotC in a game grumps episode? PLEASE, I NEED TO KNOW WHICH EPISODE!!!!!
I second this!
This song is just more relevant than ever nowadays
Now we're the monkeys.
Yeah I got called jork twice today! :'(
even more relevant now than 8 months ago oh no ;__;
@@FOnewearl Even more now and probably even more in the future.
@@FOnewearl peak relevance? monkey disease at an all time high
Genuilnely jealous of those of you who went to that gig
I love that they can turn a highly tuned comedy routine into something that seems like they are just taking to each other. Really awesome stuff.
The timing on "because your children... aren't real" was perfect
*She's far more beautiful than some of the women I've imagined.*
+Peter DD I wonder how he knows that xD
+Kristina plays Bret imagined she was more beautiful and told Jemaine
yeah that's the joke.
Nah, you didn't get it.
+Cortaibbia nah I see what Kristina is trying to say, she's saying that if the other one's wife is imaginary, then how would the other know how to compare them both to see which is more pretty.
I love the part at 5:27 where Jemaine struggles to find out in which octave to say "We're talking about the issues but we're keeping it funky".
These songs never get old for me!
Jemaine mumbling at 3:34 kills me! Love these guys XD
But what does he say?
Nothing dude.
"What's wrong with the world today? Never said anything was wrong with it."
Unlitedsoul
wrong..
It's just jibberish. On the album he does the same.
"Could somebody, please, remove these, cutlieres, from my knees?" XD
keeping it funky....
"the kids take after her in that sense."
BEST PART OF THE VIDEO.
Considering almost every moment is time stamped as “best part”.. I’d say these two are perfection
The real best part is where he raps in the chorus and mumbles lol what are your overheads and when the guy cries cause he’s got knives in his leg lol
"Ooh. Can somebody please remove these cutlerys from my knees" XD
:)))))
I still laugh EVERY time at that part.
That's the part that made me fall in love with them. I made comment 300 likes!
I'm STILL laughing at that part. xD
That gets me every time
That thing Jemaine does at 1:13 is incredible. Gets me every time.
How they can sing without even cracking a smile is just amazeballs!
Well these are serious issues they’re discussing
The word is ‘amazing’.
@@jessejive117That's a funny comment bit it took you 6 years to think of it /s
Sometimes I forget "amazeballs" existed. It was truly "awesome sauce."
I laughed very hard at this 15 years ago and I still do. Either I have not developed much from early adulthood or this is just generally funny. I think this and most other of their songs from this era are very funny and well put together.
i have exactly the same experience with this song. old flight of the conchords is amazing. albi the magic dragon anyone?
he's racist actually, but a bean turned his racism into magic so you're right@@cuse123456
I always know the mumbling part is coming but nope, I spit out my drink every damn time.
what is he saying?....or what makes the mumbling funny?
OmgllolxD D stop drinking things when you watch this then...how have you not learned that by now??
I think i am hearing that goes with "never say no to a zombie dick." IDk
Pure talent.
The song is not only exremely funny but also sounds super awesome! They are really great musicians!
I love Jemaines range, nice funky deep voice, then way up and high! Love these guys XD
Jermaine is so shiny in this
imrandomfaceit what does shiny mean here?
shiny like a treasure from a sunken pirate wreck
Anonymous Idiot he was tomatoa in Disney’s Moana and the character sang a song called shiny
What are your overheads? xD
This live version has made me laugh for 15 years.
“Am I a man? Yes … technically, yes.”
Best part, hahaha.
my fotc obsession has ruined me. I walk around all day quoting them and no one knows what I’m talking about.
IN TERMS OF VOLUME!!!
Me too, always. I look around when the boys are going crazy at my preschool snd inaudibly murmur -’too many di**s on the dancefloor’
I honestly get chills every time they bring the beat back
Talkin bout the issues but we're keepin it funky in here. Lmao
So raw but true. Worlds changing, love this song.
the straight face at 3:26 after "turns out he's dead" gets me everytime
imagine sitting around a fire with these two on guitar. magic
I love how the audience laughs when brett says "if there's one thing that we as the band wants to deal with, is the issues" :)
Everyone's talking about the mumbling, but the part that always gets me is "Could somebody please remove these cutleries from my knees?" Jemaine's comedic timing is perfect
Am I a man? Yes. Technically yes.
sunny leatham It's better in the recorded version of the song. Am i am man? Yes, technically i am
I prefer the stage performance
Or a muppet?
@@etheldir128Their stage versions are all far better than the studio.
Oh, god, the crowd loved this.
My favorite performance from these guys by far.
Fantastic !
we're talkin bout the issues but we're keepin it funky.

I think he waited till the audience stopped clapping/Laughing
Always find myself coming back
16 years later. I'm still jamming to this.
If there was one video I could choose to make the entire internet watch, I guess it would be this one simply based on the number of times I've watched it.
I've been watching this a few times a day for the last few weeks. And really quite often since 2007.
I haven’t seen these guys for about 15 years and I laughed just as hard today when I stumbled upon it.
will never get old
yrs later...still funny! lol
Thank you for posting God Bless you and your family and Friends Peace ✌️
Ah man I have to dig their show out and rewatch it again - great stuff!
402 people don't care about rogue unicorns
I just love how high Brett can sing, it hurts to even *try* and sing that high :P
And the dropping the beat part is really awesome too.
It's been a while that I've never laughed like I did watching this . good job
so great. inspirational and creative. love love love.
4:14 In an incredibly rare moment, Jemaine breaks his legendary pokerface with a faint smile for maybe one and a half second.
Could somebody please remove these cutleries from my knees.
PkKirby876 yay finally someone spelled it right :D
@@NewNorthStar Of course cutleries is a word, what do you mean?
BRILLIANT. Love them... Miss those days.
It's so crazy that they're both so funny and so good!
I listen to this everyday to remind myself of the "Issues"
3:17
"And I'm the only one to see if heeeee's dead"
"Turns out he's dead"
I think I'm in love :)) Why did I not watch any videos of them before? They're so hilarious :D
How can you not love these guys?
brilliant stuff
I miss them
Still one of the greatest performances I’ve ever seen 👏
This may be my favorite video. they are funny as hell, but very serious in this one too. Great message in a way that might make people listen.
This is the part where the commenters
The youtube commenters (woah oh)
The commenters misquote the lyrics
And get all the thumb-up (yeaah)
That wasn't in the song...
No one knows how to spell cutleries
HOW DO THEY NOT CRACK THEMSELVES UP?!
this is hilarious! i just can't stop watching it over and over again...
i loooove this guys! i hope they do something new soon... one of the funniest shows i have ever watched
What are your overheads!!! LOL!
Can somebody please remove these cutlery’s from my knees 😂
Thanks.. that makes FOTC so much better..
These guys are amazing....... seriously!
Not sure if Jermaine is constantly screwing up his lyrics or if this is just a weird version of the song.
Funnily enough, this is probably the most well-known version. This means it's basically the quintessential version for most people, and they see the others as weird.
Just heard the other version today but i like this one more because of the guitars.
iMakeLulz I agree, this was the show that introduced me, and like you said, the other versions are weird to me, and I think, not as hilarious.

This is by far my favourite song of theirs
New Zealand treasures!.... love these guys,....
4:35 He said, "oooooooooowwwww".. lol
Ha ha
My aunt showed me FOTC when it first came out so we have been watching it and my whole family will be laughin all the way through
this song was stuck in my head all day..
The saw monkeypox coming and they tried to warn us and what did we do?.....just laughed.
Seven years... 7 years... Wow
I was thinking about that when I saw "copyright 2007 HBO" on an episode I was watching.. man, has it been that long? :(
