Flight of the Conchords

CD-Charts > Music > Comedic Music
by: Flight of the Conchords

Release Date April 22, 2008
Leí en su reseña que eran "Los Kings of Convenience de la comedia". Bret McKenzie y Jemaine Clement, originarios de Nueva Zelanda, extrapolan su disco homónimo (Sub Pop, 2008) de su serie televisiva transmitida por HBO. Cinco estrellas! para su sentido del humor, la letra de Business Time me ha hecho reirme tanto que no he parado de escucharla y el disco completo en general es cagadísimo. Foux du fafa me recuerda a mi hermana porque jugamos a lo mismo, a decir palabras en francés, sin sentido, pero para que parezca que estamos hablando. Les falta música, evidentemente no son los grandes intérpretes vocales y su música no va más allá de la que utiliza un cantaautor para acompañar lo que QUIERE DECIR. Les dejo lo que para mi gusto es ... Read More:

The Distant Future

CD-Charts > Music > Comedic Music
by: Flight of the Conchords

Release Date August 07, 2007
Flight of the Conchords should have done a little more brainstorming when trying to come up with things to sing about. This disc has five songs, and two of them are about sex. The opening track, "Business Time," is a rhythm-driven slow jam with the singer breathily monologuing about having sex with his wife/girlfriend... not a very welcoming way to start off your very first disc release. We move on to "If You're Into It," and hey, more sex! This time, the singer is encouraging a girl to have sex with some other guy.
Once you get past those two, the rest of the disc is very good. "I'm Not Crying" is, without a doubt, the best Conchords song yet. The subtle ironies and slight jabs at psychological denial of a lover's rejection are absolutely ... Read More:

Tenacious D - The Complete Master Works

CD-Charts > Music > Comedic Music
starring: Tenacious D

Release Date November 04, 2003
People always say Jack Black and the D are hilarious, but you dont really know either of them until you've seen this dvd. This is Tenacious D at their best. The concert, the show, the skits, all are funny as hell. The Complete MasterWorks is totally worth buying.

Weird Al Yankovic - The Ultimate Video Collection

CD-Charts > Music > Comedic Music
starring: "Weird Al" Yankovic

Release Date November 04, 2003
This compilation DVD is hilarious. It's great on so many levels. As an adult, I remember all the original songs that Weird Al parodied; and that makes it even funnier. My five year old saw "like a surgeon" on totally 80's vh1 classic and thought it was the funniest thing he'd ever seen - and he has no idea who Madonna is! I bought this DVD with him in mind - and he watches it over and over and over. I have Weird Al on karaoke, my son can't read, but he can sing every word in "fat". My seven year old daughter enjoys it as well; as do my husband and myself. We got our money's worth on this one!

Young Frankenstein: The New Mel Brooks Musical

CD-Charts > Music > Comedic Music
from: Decca Broadway

Release Date December 26, 2007
Don't believe what you read in the New York Times, especially those caustic reviews by Ben Brantley. He needs to go! Get Clive Barnes back! "Young Frankenstein" is a wonderful, hilarious romp parodying the musicals of Cole Porter and Friml and Youmans. It takes you back to when musicals were fun and frolicsome. There are great performances from everyone. Only Roger Bart doesn't match the mayhem and I think that is more of a directorial matter. I would love to see someone like Bill Irwin or even Robin Williams takeover the role.

The audience simply adored the show when I saw it. And the CD is well worth the price. If you're in New York take in "YF" and another Brantley reject "A Catered Affair." Take a pass on "In the Heights" which is over-hyped and ... Read More:

The Rutles - All You Need Is Cash

CD-Charts > Music > Comedic Music
starring: Dan Aykroyd, Terence Bayler, John Belushi, Jeannette Charles, Ricky Fataar
directed by: Eric Idle, Gary Weis

Release Date March 13, 2001
I remember watching this movie on VH1 years ago and thinking that it was funny. But watching it again recently, I realized it is not nearly as funny as it could be. There are a few funny gags, but not nearly enough funny, memorable lines. The pros of this movie are: great cameos, catchy Beatles-eque songs, the depictions of Idle as Paul and Innes as Lennon, and some funny laughs with Idle as the narrator. However, this movie is nowhere near as funny as Spinal Tap and doesn't even come close to Holy Grail. Whereas those two movies had lines that were so memorable that they are still quoted today, The Rutles movie is missing that. It doesn't have a very good flow to it and it feels choppy and there is too much time between each joke. Very original when it came ... Read More:

Straight Outta Lynwood

CD-Charts > Music > Comedic Music
by: Weird Al Yankovic

Release Date September 26, 2006
There are a couple songs that may take some time to win you over (I'm thinking of "Pancreas" and "Weasel Stomping Day" in particular) but even so, this is a fairly solid album from the paragon of parody. It's not the instant classic that some of his other albums were (such as "Even Worse" or "Off the Deep End") but it does eventually work its way under your skin. You'll find yourself humming sections of "Trapped In The Drive-Thru" while you're waiting "at the pay window, ... or whatever you call it."

The videos on the second disc are quite odd. Al is attempting to encourage independent creativity by having a number of different people make their own version of music video based on his songs. Some play out better than others, but they all have some quite interesting ... Read More:
