Me and Ben Mathis-Lilley "argue" about Flight of the Conchords on NY Mag's The Vulture. And then basically start quoting lyrics to each other. Boom boom boom!

I've been talking up FOTC for the last 3 months so it's fun to see people talking about it. HOWEVER, I take a certain amount of offense (ie, not much, but enough) to your point about only a certain type of New Yorker getting it. I live in Phoenix, all of my friends love this show and we get ALL the jokes. All of them.

Hey! Actually, I was trying to say the exact opposite: that the show feels like it has been allowed to have a specific point of view, and that they trust (smart) people everywhere to appreciate that. That's what the Kansas line was about - that it doesn't feel like they think people in Kansas are dumb. I see how it's not totally clear, though.

I enjoyed this piece and love the show. But then I'm a kiwi. I was actually really worried that the humour wouldn't go down well here but it seems like they're being well received.
