Bret McKenzie and Jemaine Clement are Flight of the Conchords, "New Zealand's fourth most popular folk-comedy duo" or, at least, that's how they bill themselves. The duo are known for their comedic music and self titled television series, "Flight of the Conchords", which was a comedy show based on their songs and their daily lives. http://www.hbo.com/conchords/

History
The pair began performing together in 1998 and gained worldwide attention after receiving a nomination for the Perrier Comedy Award at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in 2003. A BBC radio series followed and, two years later, HBO gave McKenzie and Clement a half-hour stand-up spot in the televised series One Night Stand. The popularity of the half-hour led to a series deal with HBO, and the Flight of the Conchords television show premiered in June 2007. The second season premiered online on December 17, 2008 on the website FunnyorDie.com.FunnyorDie: FoCC Season 2 Online Premiere (Time: 25:29)
The Flight of the Conchords - "Jenny"
Here is a performance from FOTC performing the song "Jenny" which is a story about a man and a woman who meet in a park. The woman knows the man, but the man doesn't remember who she is. As a result, the situation becomes very funny.
