I just found this show 2 weeks ago. Not sure how I ever overlooked it (considering I adore Rhys Darby), but it seems like an insta-cure for being in a terrible mood. I'm only half way through season 1, so I have so much more to experience too!
@Burntfires22 Awww, thank you, @Burntfires22!! You could very well have left that comment for Simon but for the sake of my own ego, I'm totally accepting the compliment for me too!
My cousin showed me this 10 years ago when i was 11, and this shit was my favorite song. like ever. i also haven’t seen it in that ten years till now. my goodness the nostalgia
They call me the hiphopoppotamus flows that glow like phosphorus poppin off the top of this esophagus rockin this metropolis im not a large water-dwelling mammal where did you get that preposterous hypothesis? Did steve tell you that perchance? Hmm steve..
Proof Jermaine could be the most fire rapper alive if he cared to be. Guy writes a couple joke bars and somehow makes every other rapper look like a chump. Seriously, how many fucking rappers can pull off five, 3+ syllable words in 5 seconds.
Seriously, look how well crafted this was: They call me the Hiphopopotamus Flows that glow like phosphorous Poppin' off the top of this esophagus Rockin' this metropolis I'm not a large water-dwelling mammal Where did you get that preposterous hypothesis? Did Steve tell you that, perchance? Steve Fucking molten gold.
Sometimes it just takes a similar sentence to "Be more constructive with your feedback" and I have to come listen to this song! It's 2020 COVID-19 and this song makes me happy LOL!!!
These fine gentlemen came to our goodly country to enlighten us and show us what comedic genius looks like but alas, we were just not ready for them yet. Maybe one day they shall return.....one day. 😔
It's been years (decades?) and this is still working for me. I always find myself laughing out loud before the end. This show was pure genius, I'll always love this and them ❤
check out this German duo. They reminded me of Flight of the Conchords, which is what brought me back here. I'm leaning German so this cracked up. There are subtitles. It kills! ua-cam.com/video/I1o4dyFhvTM/v-deo.htmlsi=5Xly4Uu3kTpBBmY0
They call me the Hiphopopotomous Flows that glow like phosphorous Poppin' off the top of this esophagus Rockin' this metropolis I'm not a large water-dwelling mammal Where did you get that preposterous hypothesis? Did Steve tell you that, perchance? Mmmph, Steve
Wow thanks for thinking of me Dropshot! But your too late I just woke up a few minutes ago sayin “they call me the (highpitch HIP!) Hopapotomus“ in my head anyway over and over. Im suing Bret and Jermain for being too awesome.
@@SuperChickenBurgers Now that I think about it, 3 consecutive years of having tears in your eyes probably can't be good for you. You think she's gone blind?
“They me the hiphopopotamas , flows that glow like phosphorous. Poppin’ off the top of this esophagus, rockin’ this metropolis” One of the best lines I’ve ever heard, period.
these guys are one of the funniest and talented kids ever... i want this song played on my funeral ... so no one cries cuz its impossible not to smile or laugh with this. i luv em!!
This is one of those rare videos that have a power to them. This power has the ability to snap you out of the deepest, most depressing moments sometimes. lol. And I'm not trying to be overly dramatic. Just throwing some static. My rhymes are not bottomless. Just saying, this video is such a joy to watch. lol. God bless these gentlemen for this creative masterpiece of comedy. And God bless you for posting the video for us all to share in :)
i never heard this before... was listening to 98.3 the penguin radio online and they played business time... now i am down the rabbit hole... this is great.. so much fun
I keep coming back to this duo... Young comedians/writers or students of comedy... please always, always be aware of the attention to detail... As the focus is on the singer... in the background 'still in character'... never, ever forget your audience... x

15 years later, this still makes me laugh out loud. If I’m feeling down, I just watch this. These guys were geniuses.

I just came here from seeing Jemaine in Avatar 2 (he's the marine biologist). Now I can't sleep before I listened to all their songs again.
😂😂😂😂 been so long since I last saw this or imitated the shaking and dance... "Steeeeeeve..."😒😑
This would make me laugh if my mom jst died tbh
Why didn’t more people recognize the genius? I laugh out loud (for real) every time I watch this song.
They call me the hiphopapotamus, my lyrics are bottomless ................
every time xD
Wow, I heard that too. What a coincidence! Do you think we might have watched the same video?
@@DoctorTurdmidget Perchance?
*click click click click*
The best part of the whole song. Then after the awkwardness just cut to dancing.
Jemaine looks like a default character from the sims
rofl
OMG, hilarious!! XD I made a Sim like him in 4 with Muttonchops and everything but his hair isn't as good as Jemaine's!
@Burntfires22 Awww, thank you, @Burntfires22!! You could very well have left that comment for Simon but for the sake of my own ego, I'm totally accepting the compliment for me too!
4 years later, still best comment
That’s not very constructive feedback
1k people need to be more constuctive on their feedback please

Derpyderp *shakes fist
looked up lyrics from ponies the analogy lol sounded badass
Carlsburg...
I love how in the entire series we never actually meet a character named “Steve”
He lives in new zealand....
He's the pawn broker guy in the TV series. Steve rocks
@@rayteerlink8868 isn't that Dave?
@@Nevercleangutters hmmmm... you might be right. Must go watch some more episodes
That's because in the world of Comedy fuk Steve is just a joke in itself
When we New Zealanders rap, it gets hardcore. "Having tea with your grandma" hardcore.
Goood old NZ boys
yep
And, your lyrics are bottomless.............................
Kiwis are pretty badass tho
There ain't no party like my grandmas tea party
1,700 people need to be more constructive with their feedback please.

Win.
That was a Win!
Michael Price Ok

I can't believe how low-budget this show was...out here shooting on the street in NYC in February
Their checkbook was bottomless
I heard jemaine got sick filming this episode.
It looks like beastie boys
@@meghanphillips3495 He did, really bad pneumonia.
This wasn't shot somewhere in the UK?

Ladies all around the world honestly another I love these guys lol 😂
"My rhymes are so potent that in this small segment I made all of the ladies in the area pregnant" gold lmfao
I like the follow up even more haha,
"Yeah, sometimes my lyrics are sexist,
but you lovely bitches n' hoes should know I'm trying to correct this"
When they sang this live, they changed the words to, "in this small segment, I made all the ladies in the first two rows pregnant" 😝😂
“I know sometimes my lyrics are sexist, but all you lovely bitches and hoes should know I’m tryna correct this”
The way it lines up with the beat coming back in too, god it hits so good
I hope you lovely bitches know I'm trying to correct this....excellent add on!!!
They call me the hiphopoppotamus flows that glow like phosphorus poppin off the top of this esophagus rockin this metropolis im not a large water-dwelling mammal where did you get that preposterous hypothesis? Did steve tell you that perchance? Hmm steve..
I like how Jermaine has the best and worst verses in this hahahaha
wish i could double like this
That pause after the first verse was worth it....he lit it up after that!!
Mmm Steve....
Proof Jermaine could be the most fire rapper alive if he cared to be. Guy writes a couple joke bars and somehow makes every other rapper look like a chump. Seriously, how many fucking rappers can pull off five, 3+ syllable words in 5 seconds.
these were low-key some very intricate and well structured rhymes....

Fucking molten gold.
@@S4DF4C3 they really wanted to rhyme stuff that ended with us
Low key is not necessary here. It's an overused phrase and this isn't low key
Not low key at all... very in your face awesome if ever there was
@@WoodworkingforAnyone 💯
I know all the words. You don't even KNOW how many times I've rapped this in the shower.
Sam Wolfenstein even the awkward silence?
Why? Why exactly?
Why? Why? Why? What? Why exactly? Tell me the reason for your choices, please. Why? Why?
do you do the dance? please tell me you do the dance.
@surfitlive Who told you that?!
I dont know how I got here or why but something tells me Im on the fantastically goregeous side of youtube
That "something" is very correct.
Lily is Be very careful, you have entered the underground of New Zealand hip-hop. Nothing but blood and sweat from these hardnuts.
I'm just wondering if you find the TV show after this. It's hilarious.
watch the tv show it's g o ld
watch the show
The silence after telling us his lyrics are bottomless is the most genius moment of comedy in the series
This is ONE of my "go to" songs when I am bummed. Makes me laugh EVERY time, my whole family knows it LOL. This and schweny five ;)
@DnB and Psy Production TWELVE YEARS.
Are you me?
I like the part when Jemaine goes "My lyrics are bottomless" and Bret stops his freaking hilarious and energetic dance.
Pure, timeless Comedy. I loved Murray with his clipboard and register with just their names on!!!!!
✋Present
I love this version more than the live version, because this has "Did Steve tell you that perchance?"
"But you lovely bitches know I'm trying to correct this..."
And the way the bravado leaks out of his voice when he says it 😂 gold 😂
its 0:34 that does it for me he puts so much feeling into those dance moves
Holy fucking hell so this is where that Yugi Vs Jayden song came from.
Amazing
I thought I was the only one who remembered that! High five!
The shuttle dance gets me every time, instantly bust out laughing.
How can people dislike this, especially with the bottomless lyrics. Did Steve tell you to dislike it? Steve!!!!
There ain't no party like ma Nana's tea party
Hey...ho
+Catbug I'm hornayyyy
TheIronMineCart MG did steve tell you that pajazz? .....steve.. T_T
*perchance, haha but I like your version better
Took me years to realise this is an S Club reference...
My mom always played this for me when I was little and now that I'm looking back on it, I appreciate the jokes more since I actually understand them.

Someone said the word hipopotimus and I had a whole flashback lmao

I think it is the only dance I can do😅🫥🤣

An American introduced me to this while in the USA. Being English, I loved it.
They HAVE to be a national treasure over there, right?
@@nickrizzo4635 They're a national treasure in NZ where they're from for sure!
be more constructive with your feedback pLease
wacha WHY!?
I have wished to play this sound bite to so many of my coworkers.
This is how disputes were settled on the streets back in the day
It's all true
"Why? Why exactly? Be more constructive with your feedback" 😂😂😂
My favourite bit is at 29 seconds when bret starts shocking out in the background at the bottomless lyrics part. Lmao. Love this!.
My rhymes are so potent that in this small segment I made all the ladies in the area pregnant!
Its great but it's not INNER CITY PRESSURE
... Thank you Yugioh the Abridged series for bringing me to this group.
It's been years (decades?) and this is still working for me. I always find myself laughing out loud before the end. This show was pure genius, I'll always love this and them ❤

rewatching in 2020
still love it))))) what a motherflipping great show!
I saw Jermaine a few days ago down by the waterfront in Wellington! Just had to share!
When people ask what kind of rap music I’m into
This is one of my favorite episodes.
Just found this in 2022... It still holds up.
Why is the first time I watched this in 2015
Because God is dead
Best response ever.
ooooo3 I know I finally just watched it xD
I watched it way back in late 2007 when the show used to air. good times.
Does anyone else have a hard time getting this song out of their head? Im tha mutha flippin hiphopopotomus like all day long! ahhhhhhh!

Omg Bret's moves at 0:29 kill me every time haha. "There ain't no party like my nanna's tea party" Hahaha I LOVE them.
WHY BECAUSE I RAP ABOUT REALITY?! LIKE ME AND MY GRANDMA DRINKIN A CUP OF TEA!

0:25 really is a magical moment
I shouldn't watch FotC while everyone else in my house is asleep. I'm crying from holding my laughs in.
i never heard this before... was listening to 98.3 the penguin radio online and they played business time... now i am down the rabbit hole... this is great.. so much fun
Anthology #5, YGO Rap Battle, and Rick and Morty's 'Goodbye Moonmen' brought me here.

It's insane to know Jermaine Clement plays "Boris the animal" in Men in black 3.😮

This the same guy that voiced tamatoa in Moana
I love the feet moving sounds during the whole thing - hilarious
Anybody still come by to watch this in 2020? Lol
